Purchased quite a few books and a few odd and ends. Definitely will be returning to see what they have next. They had a wonderful selection of books and clothing. Also, I noticed a sizable collection of houseware items as well.

For some reason we were convinced that this place would be the size of a Goodwill, but when we entered, it was about the size of a 7-11. I know it sounds weird, but there was a sadness in this place. The people working had no joy and they appeared disappointed when we didn't buy anything. The prices here were exactly what you would expect to pay. My only and only issue with this place was selection. Had it been larger, I'm sure we would have found some treasure. I really like supporting places like this and they get extra points for having a house dog. Unfortunately, they just didn't have anything unique or collection to me.

I ordered the "big bite" with all of the veggies and had it toasted a little. (See menu pic for sandwich details. The bread was so fresh and prefect. It was delivered this morning as it is each morning, the proud owner told me. The meats and cheese stacked high and were all sliced fresh today. And while all of the above was very fresh, the crisp freshness of the veggies still was noticeable. This is so much better than any subway sandwich ever was. Come and try one. Locally owned. Gotta love it. Check that cookie pic too!

Their frozen burger patty and chicken prices cannot be beat. Cheese is REALLLY CHEAP. But check try to inspect. I have def opened moldy cheese. Yogurt! Yummy! Always tons and cheap.

Some items I chose to shop at other stores as their prices can be equal with sales or coupons. When you find a deal STOCK UP! some things go quickly! I had gotten many friends to start shopping there! love the savings!

I knew the previous managers (Tim & Lynne) by name and they acknowledged me every time I saw either one of them. I have stopped shopping at this store because the new managers merchandising strategies cater predominanatly to the hipster crowd, and I (as a senior citizen) felt snubbed when I asked about the reason(s) for all the recent changes that were made within the last 3-4 months. {for the new managers} Sorry, I know retail work is challenging, but I do have a choice of where I spend my money.

There are so many things you can buy and for really good prices. I got two dresses for good prices. The Asian lady people are complaining about isn't that rude. You guys are just butt hurt.. lol. She will tell you if it looks good or not and she will not sugarcoat it. You walked into a building that looks cheap, don't expect them to treat you like royalty. The only real struggle I had was that the dressing room was too small because the dress I tried one was really poofy. Anyway, I got a tiara for cheap too. I'm lit HAHAHA

When we come in here we go straight to that section because the rest of the store just seems like an expensive and more random version of Fred Meyers. It kind of reminds me of the layout of Kmart before they started going out of business.

Went at 10:30am on a Monday and it was surprisingly busy. Everyone is coming to check it out. Store employees were super nice. Moderate size store with good selection, but some racks were empty or needed to be refreshed. I don't know if that's because they are short-handed (which they are), or because they haven't had a chance to get to things with the crazy crowds they've had. Either way, I found some items to buy, and will definitely come back.

I've been shopping for 30 years at Nordstrom and Nordstrom rack. The reason I shop there is their…read morecustomer service, the quality of their items, and their return policy. I had to purchase a pair of dress shoes, and I specifically asked the salesperson when I told her that they were a little tight, but was assured that they would loosen up upon wear and if they didn't, that I could return them. I thought, "that's why I love Nordstrom's." Fast forward two hours, and I had a huge blister on the inside of my big toe. I had to remove the shoes and switch into tennis shoes, which did not match my suit at all. But, I knew I could return the shoes, so I was OK with that. I took the shoes back and was told by a sales clerk and by the manager, "Finn," that I could not return the shoes because they had been worn outside. I explained to her that I specifically asked that when I purchased them earlier and was assured that I could. She said that didn't matter because there were scuffs on the sole of the shoe. I said I would take store credit and she said "aren't you listening, I said we could not take them back." I would avoid this Nordstrom's rack, find another or better yet, just skip them altogether - they are not what they used to be, they do not stand behind their products, and they do not stand behind their word.

This place makes adulting fun! I don't know why I never discovered this before. It's got everything…read moreI've ever wanted to look at all in one place. From knives to pots and pans to kitchen gadgets you didn't think you would need until you see them. They even have makeup, hair products, clothes, and anything you can think of. It was so much fun roaming around this store, and they have a variety of the same item. For example, my goal was to get a butcher knife. They have big ones, small ones, heavy ones, ones with short handles, and ones with longer handles. I spent a long time picking one out to my liking. The inside feels like a big warehouse with everything neatly placed in a way that you can just walk up and down the aisles with ease. There was so much to look at that I felt like I spent close to an hour or more here. Some things were reasonably priced, while others were a little higher. It really depends on what you plan on getting from here. I almost got a wok from there but decided against it because the one on sale was a little bit too heavy for me. If you are in the area and love kitchen things, I would suggest going to Shin Shin to check it out. It was fun for me, and I plan to take my mom there on our next trip to Seattle. However, I might regret that decision later, because my mom would just spend her entire trip there and not want to leave. Haha, I will keep you posted on this. Parking is plentiful. Credit cards are accepted. One thing that caught my attention, though, was that the employees would stare you down after a little while. Instead of having security cameras, they have employees at every corner who would randomly show up next to you to ensure you are "shopping" and not stealing. If you are okay with having a personal bodyguard while you shop, then there would be no issues at all. Have fun!

I had driven past Shin Shin several times in Lakewood, but always headed elsewhere. This time I…read moremade it a point to detour and check it out (4/17/26). It is a fairly large retail site that carried assorted housewares, some alcohol, restaurant gear, small appliances, bedding and linen, Korean hair & skincare products, and clothing. I was rather amused at the gigantic sizes of some bowls, woks, rice cookers, and cooking pots...literally could hold a toddler or two. As other Yelp posts have noted, they do have attentive store personnel that are at the ready should you have any questions. Unless you're a regular shopper, one will definitely be wandering and browsing every aisle since there are no overhead signage. After all that wandering, I did end up paying for a substantial back scratcher for The Homie and a floral print quilted vest for my mom. Both were reasonable and one was even on sale! Chalk it up to, you don't think you'll find anything in particular, but stop in Shin Shin for some momentary retail therapy.

Instead, I was met with the most shockingly rude, dismissive service I have ever encountered at any retail establishment. This one employee single-handedly cost your store a guaranteed $500 sale. I left empty-handed -- not because you didn't have what I needed, but solely because of her attitude. I took my business elsewhere, to someone who actually wanted to be there, and spent every dollar without hesitation. As a business owner myself, I would never allow someone with this disposition anywhere near a customer. One bad employee can undo everything you've built. Today, that's exactly what happened. I won't be returning.
