This was my first visit, popped in to explore en route the nearby Goodwill, and it was a fun place to explore. It felt like a Dollar Store that one might encounter in Japan, heavier on stationery, stickers, snacks, small home and garden supplies. Low cost, about $2.50 per item. I picked up 3 cute garden pinwheels in a lovely rainbow design. Scored some cute stationery packs and some aloe juice. Really nice lady at check-out. read more

The store is organized and clean and stocked...EXCEPT those delicious dried lemon slices are no longer available. I hope it's just a case of they ran out and will be getting more soon. I asked a stock person to check and all they said was that they didn't have any. Hmmm I've checked the Niles location and they don't have any. I do like the dried strawberries they had though... I'm the Duke of Daiso Willowbrook! read more

I've heard a lot about the IL openings of Daiso and hype around it, so I was very curious to visit. The store is marketed as a family owned company with Japanese inspired home decor, stationary, food and more. They offer quality merchandise for affordable prices. Most items are listed in Yen but they had US Dollar conversion charts. If you are a Disney lover, they had a lot of items! Most of the truly Japanese inspired items seemed to be in the food/drink convenience area. I was slightly underwhelmed by the store offerings otherwise; but, don't let that sway you from going to see for yourself! Simply a miss for me. read more

So, reading through some of these reviews from a newly opened store is comical. Obviously, you'll get a lot of fake reviews or reviews from people that have false information. Here are a couple key points to point out: -someone gave the store 1 star because they didn't bother to bundle up. Remember adult children, if it's cold outside wear a winter coat, winter hat, gloves, and scarf. Don't try to be "cool" by wearing a t -shirt, shorts, and no coat at all. Also, basic grammar would be appreciated. -one person gave the store 1 star because they didn't know how to use Google. A quick Google search as well as on social media showed me that the store opened up on 1/18/25 (Sat). Conversion rates are not going to be accurate so this is not really a dollar store. It's just a Japanese discount store. I'll have to go back when it's not flooded by newbies. You can find a lot of goodies that are cheap to slightly expensive (for what it is. $1.75 to $15.25). Just FYI, be careful with the items that are not marked. I know it says without a price it's $1.75 but some of the items will come out much higher. Other than that, customer service was friendly and they got the line going, the best they can at night. read more

An amazing Japanese store with great quality + prices! Will definitely be returning! This Daiso had the largest selection of items in the States that I'd ever seen. read more

The first Daiso in IL opened today in Willowbrook! It's a Japanese dollar store with lots of goodies inside with price ranging from $1.75 - $15.25. Understanding the prices is a little tricky, but it works similar to the Daiso in Japan where items without specified Yen on the package will cost $1.75, otherwise you have to match the Yen price to the conversion chart hanging throughout the store. Snacks, home goods, stationary, kitchen, camping, toys... They have cute items (hug pillows, fuzzy hair clips, Sanrio character bags) and useful practical items (cat themed kitchenware, teapot, towel hooks, etc). I was disappointed to see the makeup section filled with LA Colors brand cosmetics, why even have a cosmetic section? They should bring use the space for other items you would normally find at a Daiso store. There a couple of self-checkout registers that helped move things along. Grand opening day experience: The line was long by 830a, 30 min before they opened at 9a. It was cold and windy outside, but it wasn't too bad as I was bundled up. It was good they didn't let everyone all in at once because the aisles are small and can easily get over loaded. The staff were friendly and helpful. They ran out of shopping baskets, so it'll be a good idea to bring your own shopping bag when they are busy. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2025 read more

Fun little 'dollar store' ($2.25) shop for Japanese trinkets, household items, personal care, and snacks. I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon Japanese fishing supplies such as lures, hooks, and fishing string. There are lots of school supplies too. Most items are $2.25. I've been to other Daiso locations in Asia where they also function as a 'dollar'/budget shop. Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back! read more

Neat little store that opened up in Willowbrook. It's kinda like a dollar store, but they have some neat things from overseas. We came after grand opening so there's was no line. It was still busy. The store is small, so a small crowd could seem overwhelming. I just picked up a mini "lego" like set (Unicorn). These pieces were tiny enough for a tweezer, haha. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by here like a week or so after opening. I have always wished for a Daiso to open up in MN after seeing videos of people shopping there online. The space was clean and well organized and the workers were very friendly and attentive. I felt as though there could've been more Asian specific things so it feels less like a Dollar Tree (which I understand they're both very cheap stores but I want to be able to get things I can't usually get other places). I thought they had some fun items and I bought an air freshener that smelt amazing! They had a decent array of snacks/drinks but I felt like it could've definitely been better. I'm hoping that things will get better as time goes on since they just newly opened ! As of right now it's not somewhere I'd drive the 25 min to get to... But hopefully it'll become that! read more

Cute new store in the area! I attempted to go on opening day and I saw the line wrapped through the strip mall! I was like, I'll come back. Came back later in the day on 2nd day of opening. It was still pretty busy! This store has a little of everything. I ended up getting some face masks for $1 each and a sun hat for under $5. They have a lot of Mickey Mouse items, so if you are a Disney friend, you will love this shop. Check them out. read more

I bought stuff that I didn't think I needed. But the car charger doesn't work. I bought 3 pairs of reading glasses and I love it. Very light. I wish I would have bought more. Prices start at $2.25. I wish they have the store here in East Coast. read more

So excited to be getting Daiso locations in the Chicago burbs! This Japanese "dollar store" has all sorts of practical household goods as well as stuff for anime fans and Japanese snacks. On a weekend it was quite crowded, and aisles are pretty narrow; though a fairly large store, it could stand to be even bigger! read more

Love this place! It's like a wonderland of affordable and strange things! Definitely will swing by often! Like who else sells portable toilets read more

There is some cute stuff but for me it's more like an overpriced dollar tree but not as good. But with inventory turnover who knows. Some cool stuff. read more

They left us outside for an hour in literal freezing temperatures, with the heaters turned off and the cashiers are actually so stupid and slow and we're scanning stuff slow as FFFFFFF. Didn't prepare to be busy at all nor were they communicating how entry works or where lines formed to checkout read more
