South B.

This review is based on cleanliness, and organization. It is a smaller branch. They usually have what I'm looking for, however they need to stock more inventory. They're either short on items, or not enough. They only have a couple of selections for their items. Overall I haven't had any other major complaints at this location based on service. They are usually friendly. My only concern is that they need more staff here. The cashier is usually wandering around or nowhere to be found. Sometimes no one is at the front minding the store, and you're there standing in line waiting for them to come out of the woodwork. There's always only 1 cashier and MAYBE one person on the floor stocking up.

Great discount section

Clean well organized store with a great discount section that prevents food waste. Really friendly, quick service and wide selection of items for various household and stationary needs.

i've been to this daiso only two times but both have been pretty good experiences. the last time i came i bought two little piggy banks that were less than $4 each! there's tons of affordable items in daiso from stationary stuff to cooking supplies. i mainly came here to see if they had any miffy things in stock but there weren't any. they did have some good sanrio and bt21 items. this daiso is located in a pretty spacious plaza so there is tons of parking around. the inside is big and as any other daiso store. i'd say most of the items won't exceed over $10 which is really good for the quality. the customer service was good, i was welcomed when i came inside the store. there's not a lot of people usually. it's very clean inside the stores and everything is stocked up

Daiso is the Japanese "Dollar Tree / 99 Cent Only Store" equivalent but with much higher quality items and unique inventory. You'll often find great gift items with low costs and high perceived value here. It's a great place to shop. In Japan, there's Daiso's there, so in fact if you visited Japan and were obligated to bring back souvenir gifts to friends and family, you might be wise to not buy them anything in Japan and then when you come back, just shop here and fulfill your social obligations conveniently here :) ...it's basically the same stuff from Japan, imported here to America anyway.

Items purchase at Daiso: binder (background), hedgehog decoration tape, uniball jetstream and index stickers.

A wide range of merchandise that are truly worth the price you are paying. They even open the boxes…read moreif you for know what is in the box. It is hot in the store due to NO air condolition. Bring your comfort shoes bc you will be standing while searching for treasures.

BUYERS BEWARE. CASH ONLY for $1 Wednesdays. This is new. They never did this before until now. Not…read moresure if it's only today 10/14/26 but the owners were there handling all the cash. Didn't even bother to have a sign out the door. Didn't announce anything online either. Just a small sign that says "Cash Only" on a cardboard by the register. Once I got all my items and was ready to pay, they told me cash only. It wasted a lot of my time having to leave and get cash from the bank. Good thing I live in the area. You would want to question why it's cash only for an establishment that sells big volume like this. The owners know $1 Wednesdays rake in tons of cash. This is their strongest day out of the week. Why would they not take card as payment? One should really wonder if the owners are really claiming all this on their taxes because cash only has no trace. This time around it wasn't the other workers cashing either. It was the owners and they powered-through the line so fast. They make tons of money here. Also, this time around, they took out half of the bins. It was only a small section of the floor that they opened up and the other half of the room was closed off. Only a small portion of the bins was open and there were tons of people with minimal space/room. Hungry scavengers rudely pulling and yanking items in front of your face with no common decency or courtesy. Just rude old folks throwing stuff around and pushing through you. Just hungry scavengers. I took what I got and left. The male owner is a creep also. I caught him looking a lot of times and when he cashed me out on two separate occasions, he made some side comments and tried to give me free stuff..he was creepy as heck. Quality has certainly gone down. This location used to have really good items. Like the good stuff from big retailers. Now they have pallets of junk they bought from auction with the same repetitive stuff. Stuff they sell on Mondays, can repeat all the way down to the $1 Wednesdays. That is why Wednesdays are always so packed. They don't really clean up the bins either. It's dirty, messy, and cluttered. Be careful not to cut yourself because I've seen broken glass in the bins before but they don't care to look through them and clean it out. It's the same repetitive items the entire week. They try to squeeze every little dollar with the same items throughout the week. It only changes once they replenish it again. Empty cartons, opened and ripped up items, packaging all torn, pieces missing. Most of everything is garbage and trash and I'm surprised people buy them just because they're $1.

Prices were very good on every day items and location is…read moreconvenient and items are easy to find.

I saw it driving one day, and decided to check them out…read more This place has EVERYTHING. It looks small from the outside, but it's big inside. They carry everything you need. Household goods, kitchenware, arts and crafts, school supplies, party supplies, hardware supplies, tools, food and snacks, cleaning products, etc. Although they have tons of items, there's a few things they need to correct here. Items that are not tagged can be tricky. The cashier can charge you at any price on the spot and you wouldn't know unless you ask. What looks like a dollar can be more. Inflation and tariffs are definitely hurting the pocket. You also can't go back inside once you've paid. If you bought something already and checked out, you can't go back inside unless you leave your items up front. Maybe they've had issues with theft before or miscommunications with items. The cashier was friendly however, she was nice about it. Just strange practices but I get it, it's a small business and people probably steal here. EDIT: Came back here again shortly after. Cashier Julie was not nice and needs to be more friendly. Different cashier than the first one. She's a F!l!p!no lady. Kind of snooty and arrogant. Didn't smile nor said hello. When I spoke to her in Tagalog, she acted like she didn't hear me and responded back in English. The other guys that stock here are nice however. We needed an empty box to put all our stuff in but he took it from us to bring it up to the front before we can use it. This small store is a bit strict.

The worst part about this location is there a flock cameras in the parking lot that take pictures…read moreof you your car your license plate your kids, and everything else in order to feed the police state as well as all the AI in order to trap you and cause violence against you. The fact that the store allows them to be out there whether they own the lot or not is a problem. Prices in the store are what you would normally find at a grocery outlet but these flock cameras, supersede any pennies and nickels you can save selling off your and your kids and families images to large AI corporations and military government, and we all know the evil that they have been doing.

Review #866 2025-038…read more I first discovered Grocery Outlet about a decade ago in Fresno, & was attracted to the unusual finds at a "grocery store," such as an Olaf bike helmet, Curious George: Discovery Beach Game, etc. The first S. Bay store opened 6 years ago in Redondo Beach, just before COVID-19; it's a bit out of way to shop there. And about a year ago, they took over the former Big Lots location in Lomita. What is Grocery Outlet? They're a discount grocery chain that sells name brand groceries & fresh produce for 40% - 70% less than conventional grocery stores. How? By buying overstocked, seasonal, closeout, & discontinued items from various suppliers. This "opportunistic buying" allows them to acquire items at significant discounts, which are passed on to us. My 14 YO daughter's swim team does this away meet "gift" (junk) exchange where they create a goody bag filled with their fav snacks & drinks. They're kids so it's obviously junk foods & sodas, except for the handful who treat each meet with consideration of this bag o' treats may hinder their performance. I'm grateful for the less expensive options at Grocery Outlet. Since I don't agree with their choices, I started creating my own carbo-load sustenance (fresh fruits, granola bars, nuts, etc.) on competition days. Grocery Outlet offer pretty great deals on fresh fruits, I especially loved the 2-lb. strawberry pack that my husband got recently... so fresh, juicy, & sweet! I got some red cherries (at $2.99/lb.) that were sweet too! Not all produce offer better quality & prices, I'd say it's more like 50-50. Another recent find was A-Sha Spicy Seaweed (only 99¢) & Keroppi Mandarin Noodles with Silly Spicy Sauce (60% discount). Store hours are 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM daily, just a couple hours shorter than the traditional stores. Wide aisles are well-stocked & organized, but you may not always find the same products at your next shopping trip due to opportunistic buying, & what may be priced that day may be priced differently the next day (e.g. Quaker Chewy Limited Edition Valentine Minis: Chocolate Chip with Sprinkles was 99¢, & 2 days later it was $3.99). Also, it's important to check the expiration dates for those too-good-to-be-true deals, they usually have a short expiration dates or are already expired. Yikes! There's usually only 1 register opened even when there's a line, I wish they would opened another register, but the cashiers are typically quick that sometimes I have to load my own bags.

Grocery Outlet may not be our main go-to store, but it's certainly a great back-up to the traditional stores.

My GodAuntie and Mom wanted to drag me along for a mini-shopping spree. I say "drag" because I…read morereally didn't feel like going, but they somehow managed to convince me to go - and got me to drive, too! But I'm glad I got to go and check this place out. I may have driven through 2 or 3 other Ross', but this is THE spot they wanted to hit (they had prior experience with those and they weren't too happy...) The first thing I wanted to do as soon as I walked in was to use the bathroom. I walked all the way to the back and as most Ross stores go, the door is coded. So, I walked all the way up front to get this code, but was told to go to the fitting room and staff there would open it up for me. Then she tells me to just go back to where I started and that she'll buzz me in. I stood there for a couple of minutes and nothing. Another minute and I felt like my bladder was about to scream. So I walked back to the fitting room and told that same staff I didn't hear any buzz. She said she didn't see me on the camera. (Like... really?!) Was she even looking?! She ended up walking back with me and unlocking it manually. The bathroom was disgustingly dirty. Tissue paper everywhere, the hand dryer wasn't working and let's just say we were off to a bad start at this store! (Insert pouty face here...) I lost interest in shopping after that, but I had to play the waiting game with the party I was with. After a few minutes of semi-sulking, my interest slowly snuck back through and that's when I started seeing stuff I kinda wanted to get: decor for the bathroom, a hoodie, leggings... I even got to help Mom pick out a couple of outfits. I walked through the pet aisle and that was a mess! But it was being handled by another staff member and I gotta say she organized that entire area pretty quickly! Impressive... she was really hustlin'! And she did it well! That's when I noticed a few more staff members at random locations of the store doing the same thing - putting out-of-place-items back where they belong. That explains why this place is generally clean and organized. Great bargain buys. We ended up with a few big bags' worth of stuff at reasonable prices. Although the drive wasn't convenient, it was well worth it. Great first run! Keeping them in my Ross' radar from here on...

It's a total dump. The dressing rooms are dirty, the customers are nasty, and really filthy.read more
