Let's just say that this is one of the larger and more spacious Daiso locations around. You won't be disappointed here. The parking lot is huge and there's always parking spots available during non-peak hours throughout the day. This Daiso was one of the first and has been around for decades. Successful operations. Best of all, it's walkable distance to the bakery, grocery store, restaurants, and other stores in the same plaza. Staffs are very well trained and the store is super clean and organized as always. Aisles are walkable and easy to navigate. What I really like is they have lots of products here/wide range of new and old selections. You'll find some good value for the prices and quality here. Good shopping atmosphere. All positive. I purchased some smaller loose items along with a new non-ticking wall clock. Everything is still looking good and useful inside. Daiso always have what I want and most of the time, I end up grabbing additional items that weren't on my shopping list. Yes, very tempting shopping specifically at this Union City location. Good experience. I just wish that prices would come back down like the old Daiso days when they first opened in the San Francisco Bay Area. Overall, great place to shop. It's more unique than other Daiso locations in the region. It's even better than ones in Las Vegas region. I think this Daiso stands out and deserves more recognition for outstanding business operations and they're always fully stocked with new items too. Love this location very much. Staffs are all just wonderful people here. read more

Daiso is always a fun store to shop around for things you need or to find interesting things you would never think of needing, but actually find out how ingenious that item is! Snacks, candy, drinks are always cheaper here at Daiso. read more

This daiso is much larger than usual and has your various run of the mill daiso items ! I always love walking through daiso and grabbing a few snacks from here. read more

1 star below because everytime I come here I get dizzy all of a sudden upon entering! I do not know what it is! Anyway I love coming here for souvenirs for my home or for coworkers/friends. It is a dollar store from items in japan! I like buying kitchen or food items here. The snacks can be costly but sometimes they have them on clearance. Its a huge store and well organized. OhBTW you will need to purchase a bag to carry your large haul unless you can carry them out to your car. They have few sanrio items here and lots of rice bowls to odd houseware items. They also carry array of gel pens and stationaries to cell phone accessories. My sister bought organizing items she loves things like that and she feels its cheap! This day my nephew pointed out a Boba Plush and I do not believe a 1 yr old pointed that plushy I think his mother did! I suckered in and ended up buying him his $15 boba plush. Daiso is a good store but can add up a bill if you are not careful with what you throw in your cart! read more

Cute store with affordable pricing across home goods, decor, beauty products, and snacks/beverages. I was able to pick up some lunar new year of the snake red envelopes! read more

Selection and value are always phenomenal with daiso, this isn't location dependent at all. They did have a wide variety of items and snacks, as well as tons of cute everyday sanrio items. This particular location is a stand alone shop not in a mall which I appreciated. It made parking much easier and I found it to be less crowded than others. Service was nice, the person scanning items was working quickly to get their line down but was still very respectful and friendly. I highly recommend this location :) read more

Very clean interior and organized shelves. Easy to find everything for the most part. There's a few staff throughout the store and they are easy to approach for questions. KEEP IN MIND: They do not accept Apple Pay or American Express. There's a good variety of dishware and home essentials. I was happy to find some small rice bowls and a cute plate with a whale design on it! (Anyone watched Extraordinary Attorney Woo? LOL) They also provide paper for your ceramics, but you need to wrap them yourself at the cash register. read more

This location is like kryptonite to my wallet!! I especially love looking for their new stock of Hello Kitty and BT21 .... Just take all my money!! I can't help but buy everything!!!! They keep the store organized. Ample goods and scattered knacks that you realize you need just because it's all so cute!!! It's my go to place for gift wrapping, money envelopes, office organizing, and mechanical pencils. Especially for those Asian candies and chips. Such a fun store to visit. read more

This is such a fun eclectic store to browse. We spent at least 45 minutes after our dinner to browse this shop. It's located right next to Din Ding Dumpling which attracts a lot of the restaurant's patrons before and after their rsvp. It has a lot of Asian decor, house hold gadgets etc here, stuffed animals and many useful things for kids! read more

I LOVE DAISO! Daiso is like one of those places where you go in for one thing/nothing at all and come out with a billion things! That is no exception for this location! This Daiso is one of their bigger locations in my area and since it is a bit out of my way, I don't usually come to this location. However, after making a trip yesterday, I realized that it is much worth it to come here! The store is huge and they have truly a wide selection of everything! I love the Rilakkuma stationary collection, and as soon as you walk in, you can see a LARGE collection of it to your right. I was surprised to see this because they had much more than other locations from cute note pads, to stickers. hand sanitizers, face masks, etc! They also had a pretty good selection for their Sanrio collection! I was looking for the BT21 collection, but did not really have high expectations since I heard they got sold out pretty fast -- alas there were so luck at this location either, but that's okay! I can always check next time. Another thing that I love Daiso for is for their containers. They have acrylic/clear containers of different sizes that are perfect for storing makeup, documents, bathroom essentials (qtips, cotton balls, etc) and more! I love their selection of containers because you can literally find a use for every single size. Most things here are $1.50 but if there is a price that has Yen on it, that means it is more than $1.50, just keep that in mind while shopping around! This location also have a huge selection for pots for my gardeners out there! Their snack and candy selection is super great too! My favorite right now are chocorooms and the gummy choco! I always have to grab some when I see them! Its always fun to try new Asian snacks and candy as well! Definitely go here if you are looking for some cute home decor, additions to your home office/stationary sets, or just cute little trinkets that will make you happy! read more

We shopped at this Daiso location on last Sunday 03/29/26 arountd 11am. My mom bought quite a lot of small and big items. Because the store does not allow to take a cart outside, my mom purchased a paper bag and started to put 18 small/medium items in a big paper bag. The other 2 big items she carried by hands. After scanning all items, the cashier lady collected all remained stuffs and tried to throw them in the bag carelessly. My mom told her "let me organize and put stuffs in". Right after that, the cashier demanded "can you pay first?". My mom said " I will pay after putting stuffs in". The cashier walked over another register and exchanged place with another cashier gentleman???!!! Less than 4 minutes, my mom paid with her credit card. And the same cashier lady screamed out "shit...get out of the store... we don't want you here..." while walking by my mom and disappeared behind the shelves. My mom was astonished by her attitude. She asked the cashier gentleman who was helping her "What type of customer service is this?", and concluded "I won't come back here if she is still here!". I am watching the cashier gentleman nicely to help my mom open the door and comparing the 2 opposite customer services. I hope that the manager or owner would train that cashier lady properly and no other customer could twicely (carelessly handle and rude behavior) be pushed away like that!!! read more

" No return No exchange policy" This is not acceptable. You will only see in your receipt upon check out read more

I use to shop here all the time just for fun and unique things. Something happened after the pandemic and their stock changed. Many items are no longer available and they don't restock often. Another thing I noticed is the revolving door of employees. There was only one person there that was really helpful, knowledgeable and spoke proper English and now she is gone too. i believe her name was Emily, so disappointed when I kept asking for her and a really rude guy said she "was is no longer with us", then laughed. What? I thought she died? Weird sense of humor. Honestly the staff is odd. read more

This is my favorite Daiso location. It is the largest U.S. Daiso, which spans an impressive 17,760 square feet. It is so big that I can easily spend 2 hours here and still not go through the whole store. Most of the items are made in China but I seek the special items made in Japan... It's hard to find. But if you seek it, you will find an item or two. I especially love going here for their stationery. They have a large assortment of stickers, washi, envelopes, papers, seals, pens, pencils, markers, etc. And you will find various items of all the lovable characters here... Sanrio, Disney, Pooh, Rilakkuma, Tuxedo Sam, Cinnomoroll, Tokidoki, Sumikkogurashi, Line Friends, Corocoro Coronya, etc. They have stationery, kichenware, bathroom essentials, garden items, photo frames, office supplies, notebooks, sketchbooks, even fishing gear. If you can think it, there's probably an item here... Come visit and enjoy the treasure hunt experience... read more

Very rude cashier wrongfully accusing us of skipping line. Never apologized to us afterwards when we told her we were in line the whole time and gave us attitude. The guy staff then trying to make us leave and refused to resolve customer complaints , even yelled at us in front of the entire store of customers telling us that's how he treats customers. He told us to "get out of here bitch" while there is a line of customers waiting. I post a picture of him giving me the finger. I don't know if yelp will allow. Mistreated and insulted. Never had such experience in any of the shop before. Truly truly shocked and scared. Looking back, my friend and I (both girls) were polite and not aggressive the whole time. All we need is explanation and apology, and we got humiliation and threat. I hope the management team can see this comment and do something about this staff. No customer can be treated like the way we were treated yesterday. Sincerely, Hannah read more

Big fan of all of the Daiso locations! Generally they are all very clean and well organized. You are guaranteed to find all your common household goods along with very unique items all for a great price! I generally come here for the household decorations but always find myself in the food aisle :) They have a great assortment of treats - pastries, candy, soups, drinks and chips. I always end up leaving with at least a big container of Spicy Chicken Popcorn - a must have! read more

Daiso always has things that you may need from kitchen to office supplies or even garden needs as well. Some decor are nice too.

This place is bigger than I expected. It is full of useful stuff and crap you don't need, which is what is expected of a Daiso. It is very big, and you can find a lot of things there. If you like to browse the aisles, this is the place for you. Keep in mind that the store itself is very depressing, but if you are a Daiso fan then this place is too big to pass up. read more

4.5 stars. Wow, easily the largest and roomiest Daiso we've ever shopped. Definitely more products and breathing room than those we've been to in Cupertino, SJ and SF. The extra space made the experience more relaxing. Will definitely stop by again if in the area. read more

Great prices. Many novelty items. They have a strict no return, no exchange policy. I guess I don't really mind that, but I think they if they are selling faulty items, they should at least exchange those. Please note that no matter what you're buying, open it up (probably not allowed on food/drink :)) and check it out while you're in the store. I picked up a great deal of washi tape for crafting. That was fun. read more

I love these stores. We are lucky to have them in California. Super cute items for everything you need and don't need! Lol. Most items are $1.50 unless otherwise marked.

Located in a very busy plaza with tons of restaurants and a grocery store so parking is limited. read more

I've been to the Daiso Japan in Daly City and wasn't impressed, but I gave it another chance at the Union City one. The store has lots of stuff, things you don't really need but it's so cheap that what the heck..just get it. So many aisles of stuff. Everything $1.5 and up. They don't have Kobayashi Powerful One Drop aka Poo Drops - or at least I can't find any, Plus I asked. After work went here after dinner to check it out. I picked up on 8/22/07: 2 bags of Meito lemon candy - a worker there said they are good $1.5ea. pretty good sour lemon hard candy. Kabaya strawberry filled candy $1.5 - chewy yummy candy. a striped pouch $1.5 a Japanese handbag-style mat $3 - good for picnics 2 cushions @ $3 ea a straw mat good for picnics $1.5 Ion portable hair brush $1.5 They did have Japanese toothbrushes, combs, ear picks, household stuff, gardening stuff, etc. Funniest thing I didn't buy: Portable Toilet bags..I guess u guys can buy it and pee into it when stuck in the car. My total $19.18 ---------- Updated 12/19/07: 6 days before Christmas and there are tons of cheap gifts I would be happy to give as gifts. Lotion sets for $10, little silly Santa knick knacks, etc. Shop here instead of the crazy malls. I had to bag my own crap. No Returns or Exchanges. Credit cards taken. The cashier even bagged my stuff and was very pleasant. read more

Daiso - Adorable retractable teddy bear tape measure. $1.50. I didn't know I needed it, but I do! - Discount Store Near Me - Union City, California

I like this store a lot. It's like the Dollar Store but more like $1.50 store with a lot of Japan-made items. Some items I can't tell what it's for and the instructions are in Japanese but some has illustrations on how to use the product. I like going here to check out their cute seasonal items and snacks made by Asian companies like Pocky in so many different flavors. Marina Foods is next door so you can get other varieties of snacks there as well. It's fun to just browse and look at all the kawaii items that they have. The prices are nice too. I can spend a whole hour just browsing through their aisles. The place is quite big, very organized and clean. I always find something I have to have. Parking here can be hard to find depending on what time of day you come because there's the grocery store and all kinds of Asian restaurants. read more

This was a great Daiso prior to the pandemic. It was probably one of the more well stocked Daisos around. They have umbrellas, ponchos, gardening, toys, and a decent selection of misc Japanese products (imported from China). I like to go there sometimes to find really interesting odds and end stuff. However, the last two-three times there I noticed lots more empty shelves. It's not Daiso's fault, but like any other retailers, I'm sure they are being hit by the inflation, logistic issues, etc. I were would not go out of my way to drive there anymore. read more

Rice ball molds. That's what I needed to make those cute onigrilly rice balls. Daiso has many different fun shaped molds, traditional molds and in various sizes. I ended up with 3 triangle shaped in different sizes. And they were very easy to use. Just drop your rice in and squeeze. Viola! Instant rice balls. TIP: Don't forget to bring your own bag, otherwise, you'll get charged $0.20 per bag. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Daiso, but this is my least favorite Daiso location. This specific Daiso is large and there are a ton of items here. You're definitely going to get what you are looking for and if you're not looking for anything specific, you WILL be leaving the store with something. Not to mention they have great prices! Having said that, I don't like this location very much because the layout is confusing and doesn't have a logical flow to it. It actually gives me a headache. In addition, the store doesn't seem to stock up on their items frequently, which is a huge let down because this location is almost always busy and most of items I usually look for are sold out or I simply can't find them on the shelves. In addition, staff members aren't very nice or helpful here and I think their return/exchange policy is pretty bogus (which applies to all Daiso's). Lastly, parking can be a little difficult at times as it is located in a plaza with several other busy businesses. All in all, I probably will return to this location at some point in time, but I would rather not. I prefer the Daiso at Fremont Hub. read more

This place is located at the Mercado plaza next to Marina grocery. Plenty of parking in front. Most items are $1.50. I usually get some snacks at this place like wasabi peas, sweets, etc. They have many items which are a bit better quality than dollar store stuff. You can easily spend 30 minutes to an hour here just browsing through stuff. Sometimes, they give out free balloons for the kids. read more

Always love the shop. They carry quality foods unlike dollar store that their thing could last a lot longer especially those shower buffs. I don't mind to pay 50¢ more for things could last months longer. And they have a lot of varieties in the store. I agree not everything is the best buy but I would say very high chances that you will find what you need at very very reasonable price. read more
