They just opened a Daiso near my house! YAY! :) It's like Daiso Japan stores are popping up left and right throughout the SGV area! I am so glad that they opened one nearby my house. I just feel sad for the local discount stores that must compete with the price and quality of Daiso Japan products. They carry sooo many cute and useful products for only $1.50 for most items. School supplies, Kitchen ware, Bathroom supplies, Snacks, Cosmetics, Electronics, Tools, etc. You name it and Daiso probably carries it! There are many inexpensive products that they sell for a fraction of the price as other places like headphones, iphone chargers, tool kits, and more! I highly recommend stopping by Daiso before you shop anywhere else! Most of the items are roughly the same price you would pay for online but without the shipping&handing fee or the wait. I love shopping here! The store is very clean and organized. Plus, the staff are very helpful and would drop what they're doing to help you find what you're looking for! :) read more

Definitely prefer this location to the one in Monterey Park. The interior is more spacious and parking lot is not as crazy. The Monterey Park location kept running out of items that I liked. This location had them so it was a score!! There also seemed to be additional items here that weren't at the other location. read more

Me love daiso! This daiso is a little bigger than the other ones, but still jam packed full of things in every aisle. It is still hard to navigate through the aisles without bumping people. The variety at this store is more than other stores. They have a larger selection of various items such as bowls and such. Overall. Yay for daiso read more

This store location is a little different from the one I'm used to in that all of the dishware is segregated away from the rest of the store. The California lead warning on the dishware was not purchase inducing at all. Otherwise, it's an a-typical experience. Your Hi-Chew superstore. And the checker tells you about the store's 'no returns' policy as well as stamps it on your receipt. I got a bag of Hi-Chew, a 3 pack of funnels and C batteries. read more

Love this place!! Everything is $1.50 and some items have higher prices. Seriously, why can't SD have one of these shops!!!!! Ugh! Interior is decorated in pink & white. Spacious and has a loooooot of cute useful stuff. I love their cleaning supply and decorating stuffs. Anyways, I usually get those Japanese lashed from here and car stuff. Pretty cool in here:) One thing that scared me is: EVERYTHING IS LABLED WITH CANCER CAUSING STUFF read more

Stopped in really quick as this was a pleasant discovery on the way to my third meal of poke in LA. Since I didn't get tea that I liked at the last Daiso, I figured this would have it. I think each Daiso has slightly different offerings because I couldn't find it so quickly walked out. Nevertheless, Daiso is always clean and well lit and well organized. It makes shopping so easy and fun. read more

I stop to buy some stuff for my kids today afourtnally I found everything I was looking for but when I got to register the lady name Veronica had worst customer service ever such a bad attitude, so sad to see people like that in register all I wanted is to buy some stuff here plus first time here too, but never mind I'll stick with the san gabriel location is way better then here. read more

Typical Daiso layout. Has all the things you might need for your house for $1.50 an item. Cash only unless you spend $10. All sales are final. My dog loves the football chew toy they sell here! read more

So happy this Daiso opened up because now I can routinely buy a bunch of stuff I don't need with just a 2 min drive away, hooray! But seriously. This Daiso is much MUCH better than the Monterey Park branch (for now) because it hasn't been overrun by crazy Asian customers shoving you out of the way (yet). However for the sake of continuity, the aisles are of course super small, and you can't even get through without turning your basket sideways... It got to a point where if I saw someone in an aisle, I'd just wait and shop in another aisle until it was clear. I guess it's a bit like playing Pacman, haha. Everything was very neatly organized, and there's HUGE signs labeling each aisle. The workers were really friendly, and the A/C was on full blast :} Take that, Hacienda Daiso! read more

I was in the store last night and I just love this place, omg so many cute things and only $1.50 unless marked otherwise but dam $1.50 you can't beat that. You can get good stainless steel knives for only $1.50, when you would pay way more then that for one somewhere else. They have almost everything you need for your household needs and more! Check it out and if you get hungry there are several different places to eat in the same parking lot. read more

Daiso - Discount Store Near Me - Temple City, California

I was surprised to see a Daiso all the way out in Temple City. This location is certainly much smaller than the one in Monterey Park, but definitely has all the little trinkets that Daiso typically carries for $1.50/most items. There is a $10 minimum for credit cards but no minimum for debit card usage. Also, there are no returns allowed for their merchandise as duly stated by my cashier when I paid for my items. read more

This is the Asian, cute, "dollar" store. Everything is actually $1.50 unless otherwise posted. You can buy: household decorations, mugs, cleaning supplies, nail/beauty items, plates/utensils/cookwear, socks/mittens, Asian candies and treats, and a plethora of other adorable items. I usually go buy their cotten pads for $1.50 = 130, 150, 180 pcs. Depends on when you go, but I usually go for the biggest pack! They are very soft and useful for makeup removal, nail polish removal, and other such things. It is a great place to go with your friends and waste time or if you're off to college or to a new apartment. I hate the small aisles and the long lines though! Prepare to spend time at this shop, its wonderfully distracting! read more

Great little store where you can find a lot of bargains. In our last trip we found a lot of great household items, i.e. plates and utensils, all for $1.50 a piece. My only complaint is that it is hard to see from the street, especially with all of the construction on Rosemead Blvd. read more

daiso for life! so cheap and so pink and so cutesy..omg... ok its not that great but it's the japanese a dollar fifty version of your local 99cent store so whats not to like? read more

Another Daiso in the 626?! Awesome! I usually go to the one on the Atlantic plaza and didn't know there was one here. The parking lot can sometimes be an issue because there are so many different stores and restaurants in this plaza. It wasn't ever this packed until they opened Bbay, JJ Bakery & cafe, and more. Daiso has better quality products than dollar tree and 99 cents store. I feel like Daiso will one day run those stores out of business. Even though, it's priced at $1.50, almost everything here is imported from Japan and quality is never an issue for me. I love how they sell Pocky sticks and other chocolate snacks! They also have Ramune soda, I hope they also get the candy soon. Daiso sells different seasonal items, as it's now October, they have a lot of Halloween products. Lines are usually fast since they have a lot of cashiers. There is a minimum in using credit card which is $10 though. However, you can find almost everything here! read more

Once upon a time, the only large value stores that existed in this and the surrounding areas were Dollar Trees and 99 cent only stores. Then, within a matter of 1.5 years, there are 3 Daisos within a 7 mile radius! This is such a great place to find random Japanese type items, like little cute stuff for bentos, chopstick holders, mug covers, etc etc. Its nice to have a place for things like that since we're so far from Japan. My favorite item from here are the apple slicers--for $1.50! I see this item at target but it usually ranges about $4-7! What a deal! Note: you will come across the occasional item that is more than $1.50. But these are usually fairly marked up, for better quality and size items. read more

good place for little gadgets. staff is helpful on the phone and willing to check for inventory.

came here 3 hrs after the grand opening in hopes that it will not be packed. WRONG! super packed and hard to find parking. :( after getting a parking spot, went into daiso to be crowded up with people everywhere. hard to navigate around the store; i guess you just have to be mean sometimes and push your way through lol. not sure if their a/c was broken or not but SUPER STUFFY IN THERE. i mean even with the masses of people, i should have felt some breeze right? didn't feel any, just felt like a sauna room. the items are arranged very similar to other daiso's, with cosmetics being on the far left, stationery near the middle aisles and so on. the cosmetics area was a bit too small to my liking though and i believe the daiso with the biggest cosmetic selection is the atlantic one near elac compared to the one in atlantic square and here. i felt this location has more variety in terms of kitchenware. they sell pretty much the same stuff other daiso's do as well, except a few variations in the cosmetic area. well, it was way too packed and i couldnt even go through some of the aisles, so i guess i will be back someday lol. read more

This place is fascinating. So many cool knick-knacks that are inexpensive. I also enjoyed the music they play. I ended up getting some unique notebooks, one with grid-dots. Not a usual find. read more

This is my favorite Daiso store. Store is very clean and staff is extremely helpful! I wish I knew the name of the employee who went out if his way to help me when i needed something not in stock. The info he provided was useful. All I know the cashier # ended in 7464. The only thing that sucks is that there is hardly any parking spots in this plaza, its always packed around lunch time. read more

Love the Daiso chains. This is yet another cute store with cute stuff. Only complaint is that the aisles are too small. It's like a maze going through the store. Everything is so close together people are knocking things off the shelves. read more

Nice that they opened another Daiso location in the San Gabriel Valley area with the other closest location here being the one in Monterey Park. At least here, parking is much easier to find because of the lack of good businesses in this plaza. Daiso here is as big as the other location providing lots of goodies for cheap; though I see some things here that aren't even worth $1.50 which is the standard cost here. From kitchen to the bathroom to phone accessories, you'll find most of what you need here for cheap. I've never had to shop much at the other Daiso location and didn't find much here as well. Otherwise if I needed something for cheap, I'd come here since it's closer to me. Good to see Daiso expand as they have plenty to offer for your everyday goods for a very affordable price. read more

This is like an asian 99 cent store, but instead everything costs $1.50 and there are many cool and useful things here! The quality is decent considering the price. I'm so happy to have this location so close to home! You'll always find good things here, but be careful, its easy to get carried away! read more

This is one of thr larger Daiso location I've been to. It's nicely organized and COLD. Not sure why they have the AC blasting but oh wells. Aside from that, I love that everything is about $1.50 unless stated otherwise. There are a few things you're better off investing more money into but little trinkets here and there, you can't complain for $1.50. Unless you're spending more than $10, make sure to bring cash! Then again, I'm sure if you're looking for snacks you'll be able to spend just more than that. Good place to look for Japanese snacks read more

If the 99 Cent Store and Dollar Tree had a child is would be called Daiso. I love this place. As an Anglo such fun to find new products, fantastic packaging and the fun of trying to translate. read more

I LOVE DAISO!!!! Soooo glad they made a location here. It's so close to home and it's a lot bigger than other daiso stores and has more items. This place is perfection with its organization and less crowded even a few days after grand opening. It's even right next to a sanrio store. My two favorite places in one area ^_^ read more

Everything is super cheap here! So I've actually never been to this location because I live close to the Atlantic Plaza one in Monterey Park. I think that one's slightly bigger as well. The first Daiso that I went to was around last year when it opened, in Hacienda Heights. It was so packed that my friend and I left. Asians can honestly go crazy over cheap things. (: So the parking lot in this plaza is huge. But getting into the parking lot could be a bit troublesome due the traffic and road constructions on Rosemead Blvd. I missed the first entrance and had to make a whole big circle around to go back in. The Plaza is kind of split into two mini plazas so you have to drive all the way into the back, emptier area - that's where you're going to find the pink and cute Daiso! ^.^ This location is pretty empty, not sure why. Maybe it was on a weekday or even during a later lunch hour. Or people don't go to this location as much? But I walked in looking for a planner because my co-worker got this cute planner from there that I really wanted to buy. I asked the cashier lady if she could help me find it. She lead me to the calendar section and then the stationary section where they had only ONE type of planner - super small and kiddish. So I just ended up getting a regular cute notebook and decided to draw my own lines in there to make a monthly calendar instead then I can use the empty sheets to do notes or reminders, etc. So why would I give this place a 3 although I do like coming here? Well no like, I do love Daiso if I need something cheap and know that it won't last me long, but this location was mehh to me because of the store size and didn't have some of the things that I saw at the other location. So don't get me wrong, this place itself deserves a high rating, but just the location lowered their stars a bit. This place is still recommended though! (: read more

DAISO=WONDERFUL CHEAP STUFF This is one of my favorite places to get EVERYTHING because they literally have EVERYTHING. They've even got ramen and little pastries if you'd like a snack, (even though there are like 5 restaurants in that plaza). The best part is that most of the stuff is $1.50 and it's all super cute and great quality. read more

Awesome cute store. Almost everything $1.50, unless they mark it with a sticker. Bought cute little Japanese dishes, sake bottles, sake cups, and adorable kitchen cleaning stuff. Eye lashes, nail polish, origami paper, and cute reusable bags. Oh man, this store is like the 99¢ store of Japanese culture goodies. There are lots of employees, they walk around checking inventory but they are so helpful if you ask them. Happy shopping read more

Thus far, I've been pretty good about not bringing back a million things from here. Among my fun finds are: - adjustable funnels - cotton pads that don't leave lint behind - onigiri (rice ball) molds - X-acto knife with funny translations on the back - ramen snacks - cat collar that hasn't yet been picked off by my cat I'm not in love with the squeezy parking and aisles, though! read more

So many cheap things here that you can buy and find useful for your everyday need. I bought some of the facial masks here which cost only $1.50! Also, they sell cheap Calpico drinks! They lots of things here. My wallet almost lost some weight when I entered this place! everything $1.50 unless mark otherwise. You should definitely try visiting this place if you have some single dollars to spend! read more

I'm from the East Coast where where we just have regular dollar stores, so visiting Daiso for the first time almost made my head explode. So much cute everything! And tons of things you never knew existed or ever thought you'd need- ie banana scissors! It's so easy to get swept up in it all, and before you know it, you've blown about 90 bucks and figuring out how to bring all this stuff back home almost puts you in a bind. Oops! I visited this location and one in Arcadia, but I prefer the overall look and feel here. Crossing my fingers that maybe one day a Daiso will land in the Philadelphia area! read more

Daiso - My latest purchase - Discount Store Near Me - Temple City, California

I love coming here for cute stationary and pens! Everything used to be $1.50, but now it looks like some items are a little bit more. I have purchased my spam musubi maker here and it doesn't disappoint! This store location is pretty small though. It gets really crowded on the weekends. But if you know what you want, you can grab and go straight to the register. read more

I am a fan of this location because there's always a large inventory. The only thing I did not like was when I purchased plates it had a price on it but, when I was checking out at the register the clerk told me and charge me a higher price and that was concerning. read more

I always went to this Daiso after school with my friends before COVID and the service there was alright not that many problems with them! But I do say it is quite busy at times but it is understandable! Great Daiso. read more

There's so much to look at in this store! They have unique little things you wouldn't think of. You'll end up buying stuff you may not need just because it's cute. Their stuff is $1.50 unless marked more. read more

This Daiso has too many young workers here that don't understand how to handle customer service. I was in one the aisles a few days ago when I heard the sound of a glass breaking and one of the workers screaming "HOLY SH*T!" First of all, I'm surprised you're allowed to curse while on the job. I turned the corner, and realized an old lady customer accidentally knocked over one of the spray bottles from the rack. The worker was so rude. He didn't even ask the lady if she was alright. He just let out a loud impatient sigh, stood there like a dumb person staring at the mess on the floor. He could go get a broom, but noo, he waited for his co-worker to do it. And then he handed the price tag bar code to the lady without saying a word. Why is he the one upset when she's the one that has to pay for the bottle she broke? He's on duty, so shouldn't he be a little bit nicer? You're getting paid for a reason. Employers don't want to pay their workers to give a stink face to their customers. I think in this situation it would've been nice of him to say something like: "Are you okay?" "I'm sorry but you need to pay for the bottle." "Don't worry about the mess. I will take care of it." "Please be careful." This was the worst worker I've seen. On top of that, their card machine wasn't working, so I had to walk myself over to Chase to withdraw some cash. While I was gone, my husband told me "I don't know what is wrong with the workers today, but the cashier that was bagging my stuff dropped the cup, and she had to go to grab another one." During a different visit, I went around the store looking for a mouse pad, and I couldn't find one, so I went up to the register to ask one female employee what aisle would it be in. She straight out told me "I don't think we sell them here." 5 seconds later, my husband finds me and said he found them on one of the end caps. She didn't even seem like she wanted to be there. Actually, no one seems like they want to be there. read more
