The pieces are even more beautiful in person!!! Love that every item, even of the same kind, is unique because it's all hand crafted. And ofc love that everything is $25 and below!! What a deal.

I went in yesterday and there were 2 employees there, no one greeted me. It was silent and awkward as I was the only one in there.

Their staff if incredible and so well informed that I was able to say very vague words (cat safe, easy to manage, does well in windows) and was offered a variety of plants. They are so so well priced and there is such a wide selection. The shop feels like magic the way it just keeps going the further in you walk! So glad I went to Potted instead of a big retailer. I had a stellar time and am happy to report my plants are all doing great.

Of all the shops dying off in Chinatown and becoming galleries and other things, this one has been…read moregoing strong since 1938 -- when businesses in "Old" Chinatown, near Olvera Street, were relocated into what was then Little Italy, forming "New" Chinatown. Tucked in the Central Plaza, which was opened and dedicated the same year Sincere opened, you can find it across from the fountain where people throw their pocket change, aiming for the receptacles labeled "Wealth," "Health," and "Luck." Tourists love Sincere for the shopping, perusing their stock of fans, lanterns, figurines, porcelain, hats, and other knickknacks after they bang on the gongs at the front entrance for "Good Luck" and "Money" and rub the giant Buddha statue's well-worn belly that greeted them as they entered. I dig Sincere for the things hanging above the shelving -- ceremonial dragon and lion heads, giant Peking opera masks, and massive lanterns -- and the nice people who own the place. It's one of the few shops left that embodies the old spirit of Chinatown.

Jimmy is one hardworking dude, I see him there all the time. This plant spot is great for small gifts like a $10 plant or a thousand dollar Australian tree! They're pretty amazing and he has a great selection. Parking is not that hard. Just drive up college street towards Jade Wok and there's plenty of metered parking north of hill street. That's a 3 min walk. Or try the lot by Bruce Lee statue ($5) or get a slice at La Sorteds and park in their $5 lot. Or go to the atm across the street at Bank of America and get validated. So many options. Of course, make it a day and get a slice of strawberry cake from the famous Phoenix Bakery and latte from Thank You Coffee.

**OK INDOOR HOUSE PLANT SELECTIONS IN CHINATOWN**…read more After eating at nearby Broadway Cuisine, we wandered into this garden shop while exploring the area. PARKING There are nearby lots, but we had street metered parking. Most likely limited, especially on weekends. AMBIANCE A typical Broadway storefront in the heart of Chinatown. The space is airy and bright, with natural light filtering in from above. PLANTS I purchased a 12" watermelon peperomia for $40. They didn't have the fiddle-leaf fig I was hoping to find. Credit cards are accepted. The overall plant selection is decent, and everything looked healthy. OVERALL The staff was pleasant but hands-off, not informative unless you ask. I didn't receive care instructions until I was practically out the door. Pricing leans medium-high (but reasonable), so this isn't a budget-friendly stop, but the quality is solid, and it's nice to support a local, family-owned business.

Their entire selection of art and home tools/accessories is an irresistible combo. This store is filled with nice-to-haves (vs. must-haves). It used to be filled with affordable luxuries, the kind of stuff that's a treat but isn't going to break the bank. It had been at least a year since my last visit, and I was surprised to see how much the prices of everything has skyrocketed. On my recent visit, I had no problem walking out empty-handed. Knowing what this store used to be like, it's hard for me to justify the expense. New customers will be none the wiser.

One of the photo booths was getting repaired but the other one was working perfectly and some people were using it. There is also a very cool Stranger Things inspired pinball machine and the overall decoration and atmosphere of this place was very cool. I made small talk with some people and this very kind older gentleman approached me to talk to me for a bit. I think he was the one in charge of the store for the afternoon/evening shift on a Saturday evening. 10/10 place.

If you're not a photo booth nerd you might not know that these are EXTREMELY RARE nowadays. There are probably less than ten of them in the US out for the public to use (maybe even fewer than that!) Anyhow Michael is a great guy and super friendly. Helpful and enthusiastic he invited me to some live bands playing there later in the day too so there's a lot more that must go on here aside from the furniture, photobooths and pinball.
