    Didn't purchase anything but it made my heart smile to see this here in the states and made me wonder where I've been all these years! Definitely gave an authentic Japanese vibe. Now I'm on the hunt to find more.

    This little Asian inspired store has the cutest nic-nacs! Came here for planner accessories: colored pens, post its, washi tape, Asian snacks!

    If you haven't been to Daiso before, it's basically a Japanese version of Dollar Tree or 99 cents Store. But, they have a lot of different specialty items such as international foods(Ramen, seaweed snacks, candies, etc.), drinks, tableware(chopsticks, sake cups), and Sanrio products. Me and the kids come here for the Pocky snacks, school supplies, and the unique seasonal decorations and accessories; and, today they had Liquid Death - buy 6 and you get a free koozie. Mom likes the extra long shoe horns so she doesn't have to bend down to put her shoes on. I would be amazed if you walked out of here empty-handed. Oh, and all sales are final, so make sure you really want to be stuck with what you bought.

    Various instant ramen choices

    Awesome Japanese quality items for a great price! Located In National City directly right next door to Seafood City lays the fabulous Japanese dollar store where I guarantee you just can't buy 1 item! This Daiso is smaller than the other Daiso's but has pretty much everything you need in a smaller store. The price ranges anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 and maybe $6-$9. They literally have everything here you need for everyday living. They also have refrigerated drinks with plenty of assorted teas, juices, and coffees. I enjoy some really good Japanese jasmine tea and the canned black coffee. They sell assorted instant ramens ranging from miso, shoyu, and have udon noodles as well! They sell curry packs and also Japanese condiments like salad dressings and tonkatsu sauce. My personal favorite is the salt and black pepper mix where they also sell the refill packs if you previously owned a shaker. They have a huge variety of chips and snacks and also kewpie salad dressings! They sell all types of chips with unique tasty flavors and crackers as well. For the snacks they have a lot of flavored pocky and caramel corn and a huge selection of candy for those sweet tooth lovers. Enough for the goodies lets talk about everything else they sell. This place literally has everything you need from kitchen appliances, cleaning gear, and office use. The bowls and plates and Tupperware is the star of the show! You cant beat the deals they have for them as well as the bowls and plates they have to offer. The kitchen appliances are the best and very useful. There are also seasonal items such for spring they have garden items, and for Halloween and Christmas. They also sell kid mask with Japanese characters on them. Overall awesome place to do some shopping for everyday living but beware when you come in this store I'm pretty sure you will leave with more than you expected! It always happens but you will be happy with what you purchased and insured by the awesome quality! As a reminder there is a no return policy! All sales final and nice brown bags are 20 cents each for your convenience!

    Great place to purchase Japanese items on the cheap! Pencils, staplers, student supplies, household stuff and more. Even cheap cosmetics. And many of the candies and junk food found in Japan.

    Found super cute things! Definitely recommend! All was $1.75 and a few items $1.00 because they were on clearance

    Daiso has become one of my favorite stores to find Sanrio/Hello Kitty items for such an affordable price at $1.75 and a few items were $1.00 because of clearance! Second time visiting in the past week! Fast service!

    This is my favorite store! I just love Daiso and started a new 'gotta check out all nearby Daiso' stores! Disney, Hello Kitty and all his friends! If you can think of the weirdest thing you may need, it's at Daiso. If I think it hasn't been created, it's at Daiso. This store in particular had more Disney than the last one I was at, and it even had stainless steel Disney flatware! From painting to cleaning, it's here. And, the staff was so pleasant at the checkout counter which just made our first experience there a memorable one. This is a new must when I'm in National City. :)

    Hmmm, yeah. Not the best Daiso out there, but can only put so many things in such a small location.....I do appreciate the staff's effort on filling the space as much as they can though lol. If you've never been into a Daiso, it's a Japan-centric store with an extensive variety of things, such as snacks, kitchenware, glassware, stationary, gift bags, etc. For those who are into cute Japanese stuff, Daiso is one of the most dangerous stores you'll ever encounter as most of the stuff here is kawaii-fied lol. General shoppers can really enjoy this place also as most of the stuff here is $1.50 (granted the quality of the stuff, especially the kitchenware, might be questionable but hey you get what you paid for). No exchanges/returns btw. Parking can get pretty bad especially on weekends as there a bunch of shops that share the same lot.

    Super clean store! Everything is organized well. This place has everything, from stationary to portable potties. I was impressed! Not everything is $1.50. So make sure to double check the prices!

    Snacks...

    Typical Daiso store that's nearly organized. This store would likely have all the items the Kearny Mesa one has.

    Ask the Community - Daiso

    Anyone know the condition of the store post lockdown/quarantine? Is there a line going into the store? Social distancing perhaps? Since the aisles are small, how many people allowed in the store at a time?

    I went awhile ago during quarantine. They limit customers inside (I forget how many at a time), so expect to wait a little in line outside. Mask required of course. Line went by quickly though. Otherwise you are allowed to shop freely.

    I noticed that this location has a lot of things that aren't found at the Kearny Mesa or Mira Mesa locations, which is a plus!

    I went to Nordstrom Rack Plaza Bonita last week in search of birthday gift for my boss…read more I was having such a hard time because there were so many great options, wallets at great rates, shoes travel bags, I ended up choosing a pair of Crocs. Crocs are one of my go to errands shoes so I'd figure he'd love it. I even went searching for things for me and there are so many options for women's shoes, I wanted to be good so I opted not buying any BUT I did get a cute pair of earrings and a candle totaling up to $15, what a steal, the Crocs were under $35 which was also a great deal. When I got to the cashwrap I looked all all the travel trinkets and snacks which is a really smart thing to do, the cashiers were super nice and made the experience fast and efficient. Definitely coming back, especially during a clear the racks, they had so many clearance items!

    This store is probably the worst Nordstrom Rack ever. They exhibit no true customer service skills…read more I was returning items that they could not find in their systems due to the fact that no receipts came with my online order. I asked if they could call the Nordstrom Rack 800 number because they said they could not help me without a receipt and the items would not come up with my phone numbers. I have been a cardholder for over 30 years. One thing Norstrom was always know for was customer service. I won't be shopping online anymore since they have made it too difficult. I have mobility issues and trying to find handicap parking is just too hard. I would not leave the store until I was assisted. I asked for the 800 number got the rep online who talked to customer service in the store. Thank God for the nice gentleman at the 800 number who was very professional and helped me resolve my returns.

    I've been to this establishment on 3 different occasions on three separate days during the week. If…read moreyou love amazon and you love steal deals, this is your place. It is a "bin" type store. You are not allowed to open boxes in the bin but at a separate area designated for opening and reclosing boxes. Friday is when the shipment arrives $10, Saturday is replenished $8, Sunday $6, Monday $4, Tuesday $2 and Wednesday $1, with Thursday being closed. My very first experience was very close to opening at 10am on Friday, when stock is replenished. Oh man oh man, make way make way. It is a frenzy, don't be alarmed when you hear the alarm. Get your running shoes on (but don't run) to the back where employees bring out carts of new stuff to restock. I can assume that this happens once an hour (as I was there right when it happened and when I was about to leave). Steal deals, let me tell you. When you first walk in, there is an "opening station" to your left... however, there is no respect... most people shopping who open up the packages and items fall out. Then they move all. I witnessed many employees going around and re-tapping boxes. During this visit, I was able to score a gaming keyboard and mouse for $10 (amazon regular $28), a fan (amazon regular for $48.99) for $15 in the box, new. Visit #2 was a Monday.... slim pickings BUT about half of the first wooden bin is clothes. I was able to grab 2 soap automatic rechargeable and mounted soap dispensers for $4 each, a pretty cool beer/water dispenser for the fridge for $4, and picked up another fan for $15! Visit #3 was a Saturday, today. I had no idea they replenished on Saturday but happy. This time, I brought reinforcements, hubby, and son. Picked up 2 PS4 remotes, a trackball mouse, Oral-B toothbrushes, a shaving kit, and so much more. It was a good thrilling and exciting rummage. Takeaways - the downfall is that not all boxes have labels. Some boxes end up missing items because disrespectful customers do not follow the rules or have patience to look at the box. Items on the side and back walls, as well as the front store has different prices. Definitely look up the item on the amazon website... there is some steal deals. Use the station and plug in everything before you leave or buy! No exchanges or refunds - final sale.

I marked that I was on my way got there, checked in with my spot number and waited and waited. After about 10 minutes I started noticing cars that arrived after me were already getting their orders and leaving. This kept happening over and over. Meanwhile, I was on my way to an event in LA and already on a time crunch, so every minute mattered. After waiting over 35 minutes with no updates at all, I tried flagging down employees and even had to honk just to get someone's attention. When someone finally came over, who was actually one of the leads, I was told they couldn't find my item and that employees were still looking for it. That was one of the most frustrating parts that no communication was given. If I had known earlier, I could of just canceled and gone inside or made other plans instead of sitting there pressed for time. That being said, my most recent visit was actually fast and smooth. Everything came out quickly, and the experience was what curbside should be. So overall, it really depends. When it's good, it's great, but when it's not the lack of communication can be a big issue. Hoping the consistency improves because curbside here has a lot of potential!
