love this place! forget about dollar stores, i rather pay 50 cents more to come here into this wonderful pink place and have a wider selection of cute items! although most items are made in china you can still find some cool stuff. this place is a bit tricky though! while youre lost in the world of OMG EVERYTHING IS 1.50?! beware! some items arent worth 1.50 but you might just start grabbing everything anyways. go over your cart before you purchase just to make sure you want everything. the dishware section is super cute. when i need to, im coming here for all that. this is a great place to find gifts for people too if you dont want to spend too much. if they dont know about the place, they wont suspect that their items were 1.50! gotta make my way to the ALL the locations! read more

Daiso is setting the wrong example in this coronavirus crisis. I wanted to buy a product of $3.80, but you can't pay by card under $5.60. Cash shouldn't be used in these times, so there's no alternative. Very bad customer service. Shame on you. read more

I absolutely love coming to this store every chance i get. This place has almost everything! Almost all being worth $1.50 each. I took my friends here one time and they LOVED it. Whenever i buy something from there and start using it i always get compliments from people. My own friends get jealous and ask me to take them! All I wanna do is buy everything they have. The only bad thing i can say about this store is i end up spending all my money there. If you're ever in the neighborhood i recommend making a stop to Daiso. BE WARNED!!! You'll be tempted to buy everything. read more

I am so in love with this store. I love everything Japanese anyway. The store is spotless, organized down to the inth degree. I could go thru every isle but hubby was with me on this day and we had somewhere to go so I plan to see every isle next time. Great choices, excellent electronics isle for tablet cases, screen protectors and most importantly at a fraction of the price! I'm coming back. We visited the Monterey Park location and the Manager / owner of this location was friendly and working, not merely overseeing the work which is a nice thing to see pride in his store! read more

Stopped by after having a horrible lunch at Cho Dang Sae located right around the corner. This place is freaking amazing. When you hear make sure to check out every aisle. Because there are plenty of cool stuff in this store, plus you can't beat $1.50 for practically the whole store. You will find shirts, hats, electronic accessories, tools, kitchen and bath products, snacks & food, and stationary stuff. I purchased a micro sd usb reader, and a bunch kitchen ware, all for only $1.50 each. AWESOME DEALS!! If you have one of these in around your area stop by and pick up some of these great items they have for sale. read more

I like the merchandise offered at Daiso and I have purchased many things there. However, every time I went to this Daiso store, the air was always so stuffy and warm. It made me feel sick and caused me to prematurely stop my shopping. I also worry for the health of the employees who have to work in such a seemingly unhealthy environment and I question the value of a company that would do this to their employees. I therefore decided to never shop here again. I give one star for the company's decision to have their employees work in a seemingly unhealthy environment. read more

This place straight up caca. Cheap pieces of crap-o-la that break on you in hours. It's like the 99 cents store BUT 50 cents more and some objects range from 3-5 dorrers. Oh and once you buy you can't return... lol you break you buy! you break you buy! What a rip off. Just go to a wal-mart of a 99 cents store. You can find a better deal on thing a ma bob nicknacks. read more

Finally! Daiso Japan has arrived! I like this place, I love that I finally found a strawberry shaped bento box for my strawberry lunch-box :) And the kawaii zip-lock bags are cute with strawberries on them, perfect for my lunch so it can look cute too.I hoped for better beauty items, but we'll see what happens in the future, sure that once the store becomes more popular that better products will arrive. The kitchen items are the bomb and they're only $1.50. Cant wait for my second visit :) read more

The perfect place to find little nicknacks and almost everything is less than $2!

When I was at the shop for the first time, i only had a 100 dollar bill. I had items worth 45 dollars in total. But instead of allowing me to pass, they said that it had to be above 50 dollars in order to use a 100 dollar bill in cash. Since I didn't have anything else, i was forced to put all of my items back and leave. I don't blame Daiso Japan, but the cashier. read more

This place is awesome! I come here for fun stuff! Daiso is the place to get snacks and stationary and supplies and stuff. Once you walk in, you're almost guaranteed to walk out with something. Just beware the line can get long when your ready to bounce... If you ever do. read more

This is one of the best discount stores ever! I wondered why my aunts from Japan asked me to take them to the 99cent store and were disappointed. This is quality and cheap. I was very pleased and thankful that they have them here. read more

I love love love this place they have thee cutest gift bags for 1.50 you can definitely pull off a chic but cheap party. Very thing is nice and neat it's Pink! I enjoyed it here. It's got me hooked read more

I love this place because I can find cheap stationary and pens. This is the only place where I can find quad color pens for a dollar fifty. Everything in here is cute, even sponges and note books. I wish it was closer to my house though. read more

I have to say I love living near Daiso. If I need to buy something, I would go to Daiso first and see whether they have it. If they do, I dont have to spend extra money as Daiso's quality is pretty good. They have what Japanese call 'zakka' items (little extra stuf) from stationary, kitchen items, cleaning supplies, socks, baskets etc. If you know Daiso in Japan, you know the price is high even though it is only $1.50 per item. But I still go there as it still worth paying $1.50. I love their staionary items and basket/storage items. Japanese live in a small house so they have great ideas to organize and store things in the house. I buy their S shaped hooks and use it everywhere in the house to hang little things like roller cleaners, pot holder, plants, etc etc. I love that item. My house is also filled with their cute color and shaped baskets to store kids and adult items. Without Daiso, my house will be a mess. read more

This place is so bad for my wallet. It has everything I ever wanted and everything else I never thought I would need, but now possess and use. read more

Great quality and good price value. Finally, shopping in US feel less depressing !!!

i discovered this place by accident and im so glad i did! if you love nick nacks then this is the place to go. it's so much better than 99 cents store. most of the stuff are $1.50. how can you beat that? my favorite youtube gurus shop here too! so stop on by! read more

You need to spend EXTRA time than you want to spend for shopping to find super deal and what you easily miss. Then once you learn how to shop, what they have, this place will be excellent place to go before you go anywhere else. They cover kitchen, stationary, bathroom, garden, beauty, kids, ... all kinds of things. But if you find what you like, stock them because they never get them again. read more

I forgot there was a Daiso near my area. I walked in there and everything is 1.50 unless otherwise noted. This place is awesome. I could come here everyday. Great place. read more

I'M SO HAPPY THEY OPENED A DAISO IN SOCAL!! *does a little happy dance* I fell in love with the Daiso in SF Japantown so I was super excited when I heard they opened one over the weekend in Torrance. In Japan, Daiso is a 100-yen shop, but in the US, everything is $1.50 (with certain items labeled at a higher price). Daiso carries everything from kitchen gear, bento accessories, and ceramics to beauty supplies, school supplies, and gardening tools. I'm obsessed with bento gear so I came here for that, but wasn't particularly wow-ed by their selection. After going to so many Daisos (I went to 3 during my trip to SF), I pretty much bought everything I wanted that Daiso offers when it comes to bento stuff. But if you're looking for bento boxes, soy sauce bottles, food dividers, nori punches, or veggie cutters, be sure to check them out! You really can't beat the $1.50 price tag! What I was really impressed with was their gift and treat packaging sections! Gift packaging is a big deal in Japan. Daiso had sooo many different types of ziplock baggies with strawberries and flowers and other girly designs. They also had aluminum foil with cutesy designs in pink and blue. I loved their candy packaging section for homemade chocolates! If Valentine's Day hadn't passed, I would've bought the colorful candy aluminum cups and metal containers to carry some homemade chocolates for my friends! I was also amazed by the variety of cellophane treat baggies (the ones with a twist tie). They came in all different colors and sizes and designs. It was just like the goodie bag you see in anime where the girl bakes cookies and packages them for the boy she likes. Just like THAT! I REALLY wanted to buy some cellophane treat baggies, but I kept reminding myself that there was no major holiday coming up that would warrant these purchases. *sigh* But at least I know if I needed gift packaging for homemade treats, I'd know where to look. In total, we spent $48 and some change on random but useful knick knacks. We went into Daiso not looking for anything in particular and left with a bag full of random things we never knew we wanted! Beware! It's "The Daiso Effect!" Just as a side note, we came here the day after their Grand Opening so it was super crowded. The aisles aren't that wide so you have to weave through people and the line for the cashiers was really long. Hopefully, this is just because the store just opened and things will lighten up as time goes by. read more

This place is FILLED with unnecessarily useful (wth I can use this!?) items. At first, I was so sad that Marukai closed down but this Daiso, in my opinion, is a lot better. Everything inside is $1.50 with very few exceptions (prices are on the item). Some things are worth it, others are not. What I love about this place is that they have everything! From soap dispensers to arts and crafts to bath rugs to soap, you name it, they have it. Would you believe it if I told you they even have electronic toothbrushes for $1? HAHA Seriously? The reason, really, for the five stars is because I spend a lot of money on Amazon buying a lot of accessories for the electronics I own (ex. phone covers, phone/camera shields, etc). Instead of paying for the item + shipping while also having to wait for it to come in the mail, I can come to Daiso to get the same thing for cheaper and no wait. I just bought a iPhone 4S cover for $1.50. Yes, there is limited styles but I'm really enjoying what I paid for. They sell phone shields, iPod Nano/Touch covers and even Nintendo DS + nunchuck covers too! And I thought spending $5 online was cheap. Here, it's $1.50. I can't say much about the quality of the other items since I didn't buy them but the phone cover I got was every bit worth it. Girls, if you're interested, they have a ton of panty hoes (with variety), eye lashes + cases, hairbands, accessories, and cute, cute stationary items! Go check it out! I have to say though, it's more worth it to come here if you have some time to spare. Strolling down the aisle quickly will leave you missing out on a lot of good things! You'll be amazed how useful those items can be! Hold on to your wallet though, those things are so cute you might be spending more than you originally planned! FYI: They take card only for purchases more than $10. read more

When I came here, it was crowded! :( I always see the one at Artesia but it was actually my first time going here. When I walked inside, I didn't really know where to start, I was going crazy! Everything was so cute and colorful, full of prints and all, aagh. Most are pink too! haha, My boyfriend found a d-ring belt for him lol and matcha green tea drink lol. They had cool and interesting Asian snacks and candies. I mostly bought containers and organizers for my room. They had variety of those, they also have selections of socks and tights. The aisle that amazed me the most was the kitchenware area, it was so interesting. Cool stuff for frying, eating and cooking lol. It was near Marukai too! read more

Such a great place to get inexpensive useful things for your home. Its like a dollar store but with much better things. I love their selection of snacks and goodies and their toiletry selection is really good too. Customer service is always courteous and I love how clean they always keep their store. I can never leave empty handed. read more

I don't know if it just me, but whenever I walk in here, there is a distinct smell. I find it unpleasant but once you're in, you forget about it so I guess it's fine. The price is nice because majority of the items are $1.50, but some are priced $2, $3, $4, $5. I haven't seen any item over $5. I say this place is good whenever you're looking for containers to store your things, or when you're looking for handy travel things. They have a lot of plastic container/box selections which becomes handy if you like to organize! read more

I used to enjoy shopping at this store because of its well-stocked collection of inexpensive and useful items, and I even excused some of its stringent rules, such as its no-return policy. However, recently I've decided never to patronize this store again. The customer service is abysmally rude. The store manager, unabashedly and without apology, makes bigoted, hostile comments directed against a certain Asian race, and treats pertinent families with utter disrepect--not allowing them the simple freedom to shop as any customer should please. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior, and this business will never receive another penny from me until it begins to treat its own customers, from the (insert nationality here) to the purple-skinned, with at least an ounce of kindness. Shop here at your own will if so convenient, but if you stand up for tolerance, I implore you to look elsewhere. read more

This was the first Daiso I had ever been to and I immediately dragged my father back the next day. He was a little disturbed by the J-pop music and the fact that many things were pink but he got lost in the little electronics section and found a ton of things too. This is the Daiso that got me hooked on Daiso. Minus one star only because it's not quite as well stocked as some of the larger outfits but still- super awesome. read more

This place is pretty awesome! Almost everything in the store is $1.50. A lot of the items sold in the store are made in Japan and are the type of things you would prefer to buy from Japan! They are pretty good quality for the price you pay for them! It's like the 99 cent store but with Japanese products! read more

Oh my goodness! I walked in here on a whim and went bananas. Lots of things that I couldn't quite figure out their purpose, and lots of things I never knew existed. Lots of household goodies (like 99 cent store but with a Japanese twist, i.e. more clever and useful such as little lunchboxes, pens, small hand brooms, etc. ), clean and well organized and all for $1.50. I ended up spending $25. Sampling of interesting things I found: 5 pack of disposable underwear, gag inflatable boobs, a magnet that holds saran wrap and aluminum foil containers, a magnetic paper clip holder shaped like a cactus, a shampoo hat for kids. All sales final. read more

This store rocks! I heard about about them through a friend and I decided to stop in when I was in the area. It's like a $.99 Store but for Asians (it definitely brought out the inner Asian in me - lol). Most items are $1.50 unless marked. I picked up a really cool ice cube tray that makes mini cubes. It can get pretty crowded in there, so be prepared when shopping! read more

There are so many useful stuff when I go shop there, one time I went to this store to buy pocky (chocolate flavored snack) for Nov. 11th (Korean valentines day since the snack looks like sticks 11.11 :p) and workers there are pretty generous. read more

Clean and well setup isle are a bit borrow check out is a little strange but great stuff at this 1.50 store

This store is massive! Everything is mostly $1.50 unless it's some kind of special product. You can find everything from cookware to socks to food to electronics to makeup... you get my gist - EVERYTHING. It's fun, everything is cute and you can spend a good chunk of time just wandering from aisle to aisle. read more

Terrible customer service by Jackson...I could hear this guy talking throughout the whole store considering I was there a while...Then I was unluckily the next in line....he was talkative & cordial when he rang me up....but then handed me my receipt , and said " Have a horrible day"...WTF really....This guy needs to be fired...I did not deserve to be treated that way...I'm sure corporate will love to hear how their employees are treating their customers during the holiday season... If I didn't need the $70 of merchandise I bought, I would have gone back & returned it...It left me feeling very uneasy....Hopefully management clears this up as I won't be returning & they may lose more business...Very Sad.... read more

Daiso Japan is a convenience store located adjacent to the Marukai and Rite Aid on Sepulveda BLVD. Recently it just opened taking away my favorite pizza parlor-- so first of all you guys suck. Now where the hell am I going to get my high-calorie dinner?? But anyways Daiso Japan offers the average American cheap affordable prices at a buck fifty per item excluding the actually useful stuff costing over 1.5 USD. Anyways-- Daiso Japan seems to be extremely politically incorrect with all this pink and glitter crap making it impossible for men to go into. If you don't go in you're a PC term for a phobia I won't say out loud. But anyways come by here today before they make it so PC that they have rainbow crap, or blue, yellow, etc; colors everywhere! read more

This place is amazing ! Its addicting ! Check stuff and good quality. This is like a 99© store but cuter and better quality. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes the cashiers are not that nice. read more

Well of course you can't expect quality in items that are $1.50. I got a car charger. When it overheats (i.e. more 30 min use) it turns on and off and essentially can't charge a phone or anything. Useless. read more

I drove down to Torrance from Bakersfield CA to visit this store after having stopped by the (much smaller) W.L.A. location. The Torrance Daiso is far bigger, brighter and better stocked, but that's not the half of it. The real reason this store wins a rave is the exceptional customer service. A HUGE round of applause to Asia who assisted me at the register. Friendly, courteous, smiling, commenting on how some of my product selections were good choices, Etc. I decided to ask for a dining recommendation and she steered me towards an extraordinary restaurant in the Del Amo Mall, Din Tai Fung. All in all, a great Daiso location, fantastic product selection and the inimitable Asia who offered fantastic service in every respect. I will be back soon and I'm excited to spread the word! read more

The Japanese know how to do their dollar stores! Get the kitchen scissors for crabs!! Best. Kitchen. Scissors. Ever. Come with someone who has serious self-restraint so you won't go nuts. read more

i was sad when the awesome home decor fabric store closed, but then i heard it was gonna be a daiso and sad quickly changed to glad. super crowded but the line was fast. loved all the craft stuff. got a bunch of useful knick knacks. my partner ended up getting a bunch of stuff too, which was surprising. can't wait to go back again when its not so crowded. just one complaint, don't be putting out a bunch of advertisements that the grand opening is sunday and then push the opening up. thats cool if u wanna soft open early, but keep the giveaways and fun stuff for the day u advertised it was gonna happen. boo. my chance to win a roomba was thwarted. read more
