This is certainly NOT your ordinary gift shop! This store carries T-shirts (including Deadmau5's…read morelogo - cool!), wallets, belts, shot glasses, and other merchandise that's related to drinking (mugs, beer pong sets, etc.). They also have a section where the lava & plasma lamps, laser displays, & strobe lights are stored. Finally, they have an area of "ADULT-NATURE" merchandise. I will respectfully NOT go into details about that. They even carried some "Regular Show" (I'm a fan!), Godzilla (roar!), and "Adventure Time" merchandise too, which was all pretty interesting. So what's my favorite part of the store? Is it the "adult-nature" or "Regular Show" merchandise? NO, it's the LIGHT section :). I've always loved looking at lava lamps, and putting my finger on the surface of the plasma lamp so it can react. In fact, this was where I bought my plasma lamp, which works like a charm in the night! Prices are a little high, except when there's a sale on certain items. All that depends on what you try to get.

The staff was extremely rude, wouldn't answer questions and quite frankly didn't seem like they wanted any business. The customers before us walked out ranting something too. I'd suggest going to the nearby Woodbridge store or East Brunswick store

After my recent trip to Japan I was bummed I wouldn't be able to restock on my favorite products anytime soon until I came across this place! They had a great selection of makeup, skincare, and beauty products to choose from! They were a great price range compared to trying to find them on Amazon! The aesthetic was so ADORABLE too! Between the pink shopping carts, claw machines, and overall set up, this place radiated good vibes!

Poplulu is an Asian supermarket and beauty store that recently opened up in Edison, NJ…read more The store is overwhelmingly cute and you'll spend quite some time just looking at all of the merchandise. Even the packaging for everything was so cute that you didn't want to open it! In the future, I hope they can add better signage because it can be tricky to find what you're looking for. Stop by to shop if you're looking for any of the following: *Asian cosmetics- They have everything from makeup to skin care to hair care. There's a few well-known Korean and Japanese brands like innisfree, peripera, and more. Testers for makeup products are available! *Asian snacks- Towards the back of the store, you'll be able to see aisles of ramen, mochi, candy, chips, drinks, etc. There's a lot of unique snacks for good prices. *Toys - There's a small section selling character collectibles from popular Japanese culture, plushies, claw machines, and more. There's a bunch of other miscellaneous items like slippers, luggage, silverware, etc. Oh... and they have pink shopping carts! I'm a sucker for pink.
