We visited Neko Stop on a Saturday afternoon looking for a specific blind box our child is looking…read morefor. There was a line and a long wait to get inside Neko Stop. We were a party of 5 and waited about 15 minutes to get in. The young lady at the door was very sweet and apologized for the wait and long line. She informed us they can only allow specified number of people due to safety. It's a very small shop and everything is in close range. Neko Stop sells a variety of blind boxes and different series with different characters. Plenty to choose from. We did notice many of them are sold out. Customer service at Neko Stop is great. They have sales associate coming around asking if you need help and if there's a specific item you're looking for. Our child found the blind box series our child was looking for. We picked that up along with some stationary set and stickers. There are 2 check out counters and cashiers. The wait for payment wasn't too long, about 5 minutes. I was asked if I wanted a shopping bag by the cashier and I said yes because of all the merchandise we purchased for our child. Just be aware Neko Stop charges for a shopping bag doesn't matter how much you've spent.

The CUTEST stationery/art store ever!!! They carry lots of goods ranging from apparel, stickers,…read moreenamel pins, acrylic keychains, plushies, washi tape, journals, albums, card holders, prints, and more! All of their inventory is made up of small independent artists who supply their products to Happibara Station. They are on the 1F and 2F of the mall, and each shop has unique merchandise! The cashier was so friendly and even reminded me that they did 2 hour parking validation for the parking structure directly connected to the mall. Both stores offer validation so you can double the amount of time!

Cuteness overload. Back in the day, I would have to go to Anime Expo once a year, at Artist Alley,…read moreto find anime inspired art and accessories. I'm so glad this place exist. The Galleria seemed like a dying mall and I'm glad there's new revival to the space. I picked up a $40 enamel pin (which I know, it is a lot). It brings me joy every time I look at it, so those little moments is going to pay off. There a lot of things to look at in a tiny space and it's a perfect place to find unique gifts for friends and family.

I've been here 3 times while I was in Little Tokyo, but I've yet to find reasonable prices and I literally saw a used book listed for a dollar more than new... What? Everything in this store seems overpriced and the selection isn't great. You're better off going to Kinokuniya down the street especially when a used book is listed for new pricing. Employees don't seem helpful or care that they're there. Just not a great location... It's Little Tokyo, you NEED to have Japanese language manga here...

The service is just wonderful, mostly a young staff that is super nice and kind. They help me find the latest of what he may want. The prices are so fair and they have the best selection you will find. They also have other things than just music. They have all the cute stuff, they have light sticks and all sorts of merchandize. They also have posters lots of plush things for fun. You will love this place. You don't need to know a thing about K-Pop, they have your back and just seem to know when a grandmother walks in looking lost. They are just so sweet. This is one of my main K-Pop places to go whenever I am near there, so have fun.

There's CD's, plushies, posters, photo cards, light sticks, and much more. I'm not that big into K-pop, but if you are, I think this is a good place to stop, in Little Tokyo of all places. You can definitely peruse through their aisles for some time. I liked the amount of Kakao Friends goods that they had here if any. I can't say much for the cost, a bit pricey for me, but I'm used to dirt cheap Japanese Mercari Visual Kei and J-rock prices. Staff welcomed us in when we were there and had smiles on their faces, despite the heat of the summer. It gets SUPER hot in here and they have some fans, but if they even have AC, it's very, very weak.

This was mine and my bf's first time visiting this area. We originally came by to try the new Kavat…read moreCoffee shop nearby and decided to drop by this shopping center on the way home! We parked by the Target and walked into this plaza from there. Didn't even realize this was connected to the Target at all. We walked in and were greeted by the cutest and sweetest Korean lady. We shopped around and found some nice funkos that we took home, didn't even plan on buying anything, along with a Tomy Pokémon figure that you rarely see (Stunfisk)! Also, they were playing Dabin in the store, awesome music choice! Since we spent over a certain amount, the lady told us about their gift card offer. Basically buy a $50 gift card and get a $10 gift card for free or something and we were able to use it on our purchase that day and save whatever for next time. Cute little shop and great for gifts BUT I wouldn't buy anything from the little machines by the door since they're all bootleg figures and we learned that the hard way lol. IG: @ammysalamii

Pricing was basically the same. We only came by to see if they had anything exclusive or different from what we normally see but didn't find anything. It was definitely a quick in and out for us but love that they have this at an outlet! It's a nice addition since you don't typically see these shops unless it's like, Disney. It's small and cramped in here but tons of things to see! Definitely a kids dream. It's always cool to see giant pokemon plushies too since you mostly find smaller ones. The staff had masks on and didn't greet anyone. Probably ready to go home since it was a Sunday afternoon and busy. IG: @ammysalamii
