8/4/26 Newly opened Daiso at the TAWA Gateway in San Gabriel right across the Hilton. Staff are welcoming & friendly, it's bright and airy, items are neatly arranged, prices starting from $2.25. Great many selection of household, art supplies & for hobbies, plus snacks like sweets & savory snacks, plus beverages, Many times, you never know that you needed it until you see it and say, "where has this been all my life!" LoL. It comical but it's true. If you have a really good imagination you could create cute & very useful hacks. For this visit, I was just browsing & getting a lay of the land. In the past, I've come across items that surprised me. One time I came across an employee returning an item on its shelf when it caught my eye, an ice pack-- the kind that that you fill with ice cubes and you may place it for your head or any achy part of your body like your ankle or foot. What luck! Where else besides Amazon will you find these things? I like brick & mortar stores so I may see & feel the product in person. Glad I stopped by. Parking free & shared among other businesses & underground parking available. read more

One of my favorite places to visit to get any accessories and miscellaneous things for all purposes. Of. Purse, it's reasonably priced for the "quick-fixed" issues. Their service is just okay, but it's expected since it's a grab and go kinda place. read more

Love Daiso. Whenever I need something unique, and useful, price is very reasonable, I come here. Lots of choices and beautiful stuff. Remember when you see something you like, get it. Not all Daiso carries the same items. Everyone is so nice, and helpful. Try them, and you'll love them. I've been to different branches, everyone is very nice and helpful. read more

Shopping in San Gabriel, California... I saw photos of yellow Line Friends characters from Ken K. and Irene M. and had to go look at those plushies at Daiso! Why are Cony (bunny), Brown (bear), and Choco (Brown's sister) yellow in color? Because rascal Sally (the chicken) is playing around! These are really cute in person... I justified buying the Cony pillow for my back pain. As for the other purchases... well... Honolulu and Pearl City won't get them for a while and when they do, they'll be sold out by the time I get to the store! I was just going to get those items when I thought that I should take a look around the store. I had free parking in the shared lot. The store was clean and spacious! I walked quickly through the pet supplies, dishes, kitchen gadgets, and office items. I got some BT21 stickers and lucky red envelopes! That's enough! Some items were more than $1.75 each! Haha! Thanks to the young man at the check-out counter. He was pleasant and friendly! read more

Honestly, one of the best Daiso in the surrounding area. Service Workers are always busy but are very helpful if you are looking for a specific product. Selection One of the best selections I've seen in the tons of Daiso I been to. It's always stocked and it's my go to location. If you're on Daiso TikTok and you see the latest licensed character products go viral, this should be your first stop. Value What used to be a Japanese "Dollar" store, it's still reasonably priced for the items with the price increase for everything nowadays. There are some "premium" selection that will cost more than $1.75 (as marked). There are tons of conversion/price charts throughout the store. I mean you shouldn't expect much for something at this price. Parking Unless I really crave something or need to purchase items from Daiso, I don't really like coming to this plaza. There are few lucky times I get quick parking. I rarely see the parking filled to the brim unless it's like a holiday or early Sunday for the dimsum patrons. Few of my friends and family members have had their cars broken into in this lot. There is an abundance of Tesla Superchargers, but rarely see an empty spot. read more

Quality/Quantity - Got another travel brush. Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. Atmosphere - One of their smaller locations. Their mall entrance was closed; use the almost hidden exterior front entrance. Neat and organized. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 9pm, and on Sundays from 10am to 8pm. Service - Self service. No return or exchange policy. Typical, for "dollar" stores. Also typical that NOTHING is a dollar anymore... Price - My travel brush cost $2. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1977 and with 5500+ worldwide locations. read more

We really like this day so, they just seem to have a little bit more items/variety. Even though they may not have a lot of quantity, we always seem to find what we are looking for. Whenever we have questions, the staff is always friendly and willing to give us a hand in locating whatever we need. I do appreciate them having the self check out option, it kept the line moving relatively quick. The benefit of this location is there's plenty of underground parking and the elevator comes up right by the store. We always tend to buy more than what we plan, so we're happy that we don't have to actually spend too much on all the toys and snacks as well. read more

Most stocked and I think biggest Daiso store in the SGV 626 area? They have multiple staff. You can call to check a sku number to see if your item is in stock. I've been to over 3 Daiso and this store had 5 of the cotton containers I wanted! I use them to store Qtips too read more

One of the nicer Daisos that we have visited, this Daiso is located inside San Gabriel Square. Because the mall is so empty, there is a lot of available parking for Daiso customers. We needed to kill some time before our dinner, so ended up slowly walking each aisle, picking up many things with the thought "We need that!" I guess we will see... read more

This is one of the bigger Daiso that I have been to. It's in the same plaza as the 99 Ranch Market across from the Hawaii Supermarket. The parking lot can get full quickly, so it's better to go in the morning. This bigger Daiso has a lot more variety and selection of household items. And service was very good, too. read more

No service at all. Huge selections, but nothing cheap anymore. No wondering there was nobody in the store.

Came to daiso and I wanted to note how nice the employees are here! The cashier complimented my nails and was so sweet. The store was also sooo clean! It was spacious and things inside was so organized. I wish the normal locations were more clean like this store! The employees are hard workers and deserve a raise. read more

Daiso is like the best Japanese store I soooooo recommend it the stuff is so cute-and great

I love the fact it's so close by! It's very clean inside. They have a great selection of small dishes. I would totally recommend this place for a quick stop or if you're like me, a slow stroll to look at everything! They have everything to make your life a bit easier. And these days it's nice to have affordable things, while so many dollar trees and 99cent stores are all closing down. The stockers and cashiers are sweet and knowledgeable. read more

Parking & Location: located in the plaza with the 99 ranch & wushiland! parking is in a shared lot for the plaza, is FREE, and there is also additional underground parking :) Service: the service is usually friendly and quick, the employees are knowledgeable and helpful Selection: 10/10 AMAZING!!!!! you always come out with much more than you intended to go into because of all of the amazing, cute, innovation, and/or useful items they have. their election is rotated every so often as well, with the most popular items always being restocked. sometimes you can find limited edition things. this is my favorite store to get japanese goodies and blind boxes! Value: amazing value, everything started off as $1.50 but with time and inflation, prices have gone up to $1.75 for the items that used to be $1.50... still great value! their prices range from $1.75 to like $20 or $30 for the highest item, so i personally thing daiso has great value ~ read more

This is one of the better and bigger Daiso stores in the area. Bigger than the Daiso in Sawtelle Japantown. Almost, if not as big, as the Daiso in Little Tokyo, Gardena, or Hacienda Heights. The product variety is more, there seems to be more aisles. And this particular one, before Halloween, had so many Halloween decorations. There seems to be more Disney-related and Tokidoki-related than other ones. This is a good Daiso to stop by. Also, free parking, and if you have a plug-in EV car, there's EV charging stations nearby the 99 Ranch Market. Or are those just for Tesla cars? I have no idea. I was only in that plaza for Daiso. read more

What can I say? It's DAISO! Most items are $1.75, and they are good quality! I love coming here. I have been to many Daiso locations, and this one doesn't disappoint. The employees are super friendly and helpful at all times. read more

Visited today, Saturday, 09/04/21. I've been to this Daiso pretty often before the pandemic; this is the first time visiting during the pandemic. This is like an Asian Dollar Tree except the items are not $1. However, whatever it is that you need, it is most likely in Daiso! Kitchen accessories, sandals, school supplies, snacks, you name it! This location is located in a plaza, close to 99 Ranch! read more

3 years later and this is still a great Daiso location. Lots of cute and neat items stacked all the way up to the ceiling. I found a bunch of cute goodies here that I did not see at other locations (the monster room socks are so my style) and they were also pretty well stocked on the Sanrio & San-X collab items that have been pretty scarce at other locations. However, what really shone through was the excellent customer service from Frank & Mandy. I was literally scouring every single Daiso I could to find an item and outside of an employee at another store telling me that they would let their manager know to order more, I did not get that much help. Here, I was given the bar code, the contact information for the other SoCal Daiso locations, and staff even went out of their way to call the other Daiso locations in the area to help me see if my item was in stock. Can't beat that! read more

This Daiso was located in a busy plaza. It was kind of hard to find the entrance. It was super clean inside and organized. The selection of items is the same as others and they had a lot of stock. We found exactly what we were looking for. read more

This review is about both Daiso and the square it resides in. Daiso, itself, is great just like a Japanese style Dollar-store. The only thing is inflation affects everything; Daiso used to be mostly 1 dollar, but now many things cost way more than a dollar. Many things also do not belong in Daiso as they are more expensive than other places. If you do come to Daiso, remember why you come here for cheaper daily items and stick to the dollar items. Many of the "grocery" style types of things are much better bought and merchandized elsewhere both in terms of price and stock. Most importantly is to inform you all that Daiso may be relocated; the square that hosts Daiso is under huge construction and may be closed soon due to reconstruction. It is sad to see this as this used to be my go-to place for Taiwanese-style breakfast but it is what it is. read more

The Daiso is located in the high trafficked plaza, plenty parking available ground and underground, the store itself is not too big though carrying enough items like most of its other franchised stores. read more

this place is amazing, you never know what you will find here. most items are very high quality and the price is always right. but try to give yourself enough time to look around, or you'll miss something read more

Yes, I will admit it... I like going in Daiso stores. And no, I'm not really into cutesy stationery or keychains that look like Nigiri sushi. The fact that everything is a buck-fifty, The eclectic, pragmatic, and hysterical stuff that lines the shelves, and (don't tell anyone) but the fact they carry Japanese fishing gear means I always can do a couple laps in a Daiso store and fill a basket with stuff I don't need. This particular store is located in a big overdetermined strip mall, How long a section of Valley Boulevard that is filled with overdetermined strip malls. Seriously, I think there's like 60 or 70 different retail establishments in this place, and every time I go, at least one or two of them have changed. You could build an entire yelp career out of just visit in the same parking lot every couple of weeks. And maybe it's this juxtaposition to all these other stores that makes this one so special. I like the Arcadia and Temple city stores, this one sort of blends in to its background, The way a single Coral blends into the entire reef. It's beautiful unto itself, but somehow in a synergistic sort of way, made it even better by all the things around it. On my last visit, I swiped a whole bunch of Pyrex glass, some small lures, and a small plastic lunchbox with poor English translation. I also bought some grass jelly drink, which is decidedly not Japanese, but I still enjoy. Every Daiso store sort of has its own personality, and this one is no exception. Sure, they were closing at 4o'clock to do inventory, betrayed only buy a small hand written cardboard sign on the window, but definitely worth the drive down Valley Boulevard to go give it a look. read more

The good: Daiso Japan is like a Japanese Family Dollar. They have super unique items here like little chair socks that look like cat feet. There are so many interesting finds here. I saw a cat mat that has little spikes that prevents your cat from going toward an area you don't want. There are also a lot of cute goodie bags that are great for parties. I purchased some arm sleeve protectors (to protect you from sun), chopsticks, mixing bowl, acai flavored Hi-Chew and a dog toy. It's a great spot to get kitchen gear and doo dads. The bad: The line moved pretty slowly because there were only two cashiers. Some of the items are $1.50 but many of the items cost more. There were several items that I chose that I didn't know were priced higher until I got to the register. The interesting: They sell popsicles and snacks here as well. read more

If Dollar Tree or 99 Cents Only stores don't have it, Daiso will. I can't say I ever come here for anything specific. I just come here during those moments where I need a cute box for gift wrapping or a random woven basket to carry things. They haven't disappointed me yet. read more

Very clean and spacious, and definitely one of the bigger Daiso stores I've been to! There was a line outside because of capacity and social distancing guideline, but it moved along quickly. From line to going inside took only 10 minutes. Everything was well laid out, the staff were friendly, and of course the prices were unbeatable! Definitely worth coming back if you're in the area or always going to Daiso elsewhere. read more

Daiso to me is what Target is to millennial women. I almost always walk out with shit I didn't come for. This isn't the largest Daiso I've been to but it has huge selection. The container/storage section is enormous. There's also way more Sanrio products than usual, maybe due to how there's Sanrio stores in the area so the resellers aren't as insane. read more

As far as a "same-price for everything" discount store goes, the Daiso chain is more interesting than most. It has a small but fun dry & packaged food section, a wide variety of dishes and containers, and an excellent though limited stationary section. Every item here is around $1.50 each (unless otherwise marked). My daughter like the make-up and hair section. This particular Daiso is good because it is in a Chinese themed outdoor shopping mall with a great Asian grocery super-store, and lots of fantastic restaurants. Park is abundant but often nearly full. read more

(Pre-COVID-19 review) This Daiso location is a bit smaller than other Daiso locations that I have been to, but one can find everything they are looking for here. Though the store may be on the smaller end, the shelves are filled to the brim with items. Everything is $1.50, unless they are marked with a different price tag. Sometimes you'll come out having purchased more items than you wanted to because there are many neat knick-knacks and most are at a great price. Overall, customer service is not bad and if you need help locating an item, there are workers throughout the store stocking the shelves. The parking lot can get really packed because of the amount of stores, restaurants, and the 99 Ranch all sharing the same parking lot. read more

Don't get me wrong, I'm for Proposition 67, whole green environmental awareness, etc. But I don't like it when business takes advantage of the customer to make u purchase a bag And makes a profit off of the customer with a stupid shopping bag. When you shop with them, they shouldn't make u buy a bag. This business in particular make you pay 25 cents for a paper bag. Do it like starbucks, bring your own cup and deduct 20 cents from your purchase!! Bring your environmental bag and deduct 25 cents or even 10 cents from your purchase!!! read more

Parking is super busy, there are so many stores in this small space. Seriously, but omg, this store is seriously the best dollar store I've ever been to. Maybe it's because they don't have them where I'm from, but I think I just bought $100.00 of random Japanese goodness from this place. I have skincare, stationary, candies, sushi kits, toys, and you name it. Loved it here. read more

This is probably one of my most favorite places to shop there in that store. They have a lot of different kinds of Japanese snacks and including the drinks that I really enjoy buying them that aren't so expensive! The store is really clean, big, and the people who are working there are very nice as well. They also have many other things that you can really buy that are affordable like the origami papers, cups, mugs, stationeries, bowls, teas, pencil bags, hats, and more! If you guys are looking for some cheap things that are very nice, useful, and affordable...this place is it!!! I highly recommend this place for everyone who don't really want to spend that much money at all for buying things. read more

I thought this location was clean, because others are messy and have too many boxes left to unbox in the aisles. Parking is kinda hard because it's a very popular plaza.

Hello new favorite Daiso! This Daiso opened a couple of months ago in the San Gabriel Square Plaza (where 99 Ranch is). It is really big and clean compared to the the Monterey Park one! It also looks much more organized! And even has larger aisles to walk through! As usual, Daiso has a bunch of unnecessary-but necessary stuff. It's hard to leave this place without at least a bag in your hand. Everything is $1.50...unless marked otherwise (but that is really rare). Need to kitchenware? Go to Daiso. Need school supplies? Go to Daiso. Need cheap beauty supplies? Go to Daiso. Need socks? Go to Daiso. Need a hat? Go to Daiso. Need bathroom supplies? Go to Daiso. Need a wallet? Go to Daiso. Need a new kitchen sink? Don't go to Daiso because they don't have that. But seriously...go knock yourself out! This new location is going to be my go-to location from now on! (Just watch out for horrible San Gabriel Square parking...) read more
