It's such a cute store! From the moment you walk in, everything just catches your eye. There's so much to look at, and they have a really great variety of items--you can tell a lot of thought went into what they carry. I found myself wanting to check out every corner because there's always something new to discover. The vibe is super inviting, and it's honestly just a fun place to shop around, whether you're looking for something specific or just browsing. I would 100% recommend stopping by--you might end up finding more than you expected! read more

I stopped in Just the other day while I was on my way home. First of all, getting into the parking lot is a nightmare. And once you do, finding a parking spot is another problem. I really like and appreciate that all of the aisles are labeled so that you have any kind of inkling as to what you might find as you crawl so slowly down the rows, looking at all the things, because when you came in here, you really had no idea of what exactly it was that you were looking for. Hello Kitty x Sanrio character items are very prominent in this store. I saw everything from toilet paper and facial tissue to stationary, writing instruments, household items, blind boxes, and stuffed animals, etc. I cannot say that anything here is at a discounted price. However, in comparison to some stores, some items may be a little bit cheaper. I was shopping in the store alone when I last came. I did over here another shopper tell their shopping partner that this was basically like a die so on steroids. I would say that is a pretty accurate description of the store. I noticed one thing that a lot of people were looking for was the fried chicken ice cream. I, myself, have not tried those Asian ice cream or popsicle items on a stick that are in a shape that we've gumballs the fruit flavor, like mango or peach for example. I would be interested in trying them. However, with all of the people going in and out of the store, looking into the freezer section and opening the door rather than just looking through the window to look at packaging, and what not, every single person that walks in there seems to open the freezer door and take out the product to look at it to find that most of the writing. All these packages is in an Asian language that they cannot read or understand., then there's this whole conversation that starts in front of the freezer as the door is open and the child is screaming in the cart because they want one, but mom and dad are still talking about it wondering if they should do it or not. Something like that is definitely not the fault of the store, but this is just a trend that I noticed. I could hardly find anybody at the store to assist me. Because the store is so heavily shopped and it is constant, it is difficult for associates to replenish items as quickly as they are removed or just misplaced. I can't even imagine the amount of go back there are here. Once I was done shopping for the very few items that I was interested in, the line was essentially from the front of the store all the way to the opposite wall. I was not willing to wait in that line. So, instead of just leaving my handbasket somewhere random, I handed it to the associate near the door and explain to them that the line was just too long and that I had no idea that it would be so long to check out. So, rather than leave my items strewn throughout the store and random places for somebody else to find later, I simply handed my basket to the store associate. I did ask them if there is a better time to come, and they said that sometimes the store is not in such disarray and it is not as crowded toward the end of the evening but again that was one of those hit or miss type of situations. I'm sure I'm not the only one but the Asian air fresheners and car air fresheners are some of my favorite items. I also really like looking at all of the fun little make up items. Asian technology and makeup is something that fascinates me. You can find a lot of beauty products here. You can also find a ton of snacks. Whether you were looking for a certain type of chip or a certain flavor of Kit Kat or even different types of instant noodles, it's a pretty good bet that they would have what you're looking for. Somebody in one of the aisles that I walked through even commented on a certain type of chip that they saw. They were shocked that it was called or was considered to be Mexican fried chicken, flavored chips. I thought that was pretty funny. In another aisle that I walked down I also saw some type of instant noodle that was or claimed to be appropriate for children. It actually said that it was appropriate for babies. I don't know that it was, but that was kind of interesting. Another thing that I noticed as I walked down different aisles was the number of people who mentioned different proposition warnings on labels of the items that were all imported. They kept reading the part of the label that said something like may cause birth defects, and other harm. That label is on a ton of imported food items. So, long story short... If you were looking to wander around a store for a good amount of time, and you don't mind crowds, but also don't mind not really being assisted by any associates because essentially you can't find any and don't mind terrible parking or being bumped into constantly, this might just be the store for you. I did not know what to expect when I came here. read more

If you love Japanese snacks, cute collectibles, and unique finds, Ebisu Life Store in Anaheim is such a fun spot to explore. The store just opened recently and it's packed with all kinds of goodies--from Japanese snacks and drinks to beauty products, toys, anime figures, and blind boxes. One of the first things you notice when you walk in is how bright, clean, and organized everything is. There are aisles full of imported treats you don't usually see in regular grocery stores, plus a huge selection of collectibles and plushies. They also have claw machines and fun game areas, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel more like an entertainment stop than just a shop. read more

We discovered the Teso Life store in Las Vegas and loved it so much we tried searching for it in LA. We apparently don't have one but this Ebisu Life store came up and is pretty much the same thing. All the fun crane machine games, ice creams, snacks, candies, drinks, blind bags and boxes, personal care items, cosmetics, home goods, all of the things! So much fun to explore and loved everything we got! Will definitely be going back to try more things read more

Ebisu Life Store is a fun one. If you are a fan of Japanese-inspired products, many licensed character products, this is a store for you. This store is pretty new, when you first walk in there are a bunch of arcade style prize games and mystery box vending machines. My main reason for going here is for the off brand LEGO! What a deal these are. I don't care that they are knock off bricks, they are affordable. There are also a ton of asian brand and flavor snacks. Including the fried chicken ice cream!! Yes that is a real thing. read more

Ebisu Life Store - Amazing selection of toys - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Anaheim, California

When people ask why I go to Japan every year, I always say, "It's for the Japanese beauty and lifestyle shops--so I can stock up for a whole year and bring everything back to the States!" Now there's Ebisu, near my home and Disneyland. Same type of store, but bigger, with way more options--honestly, it feels like combining several online shops into one massive in-person experience. From gachapon machines, blind boxes, figurines, snacks, stationery, everyday essentials, beauty products, frozen foods, to Asia-exclusive goodies--you name it, they have it. My kid went absolutely wild over the kids' toothbrushes and cartoon bandages. The sale section was incredible too--limited-edition Kit Kats for just $4! No wonder the grand opening had such long lines. Spend $90 and you get a giant plushie. Truly unforgettable. IG: socalhkfoodies read more

I first saw this place online and thought it was just a small shop... but when I arrived, I realized it's actually a huge supermarket! It has a household goods section, an open-shelf cosmetics area, food aisles, a frozen section, stationery, toys, and even a gaming area! I'm so glad I found this hidden gem Most of the products are Japanese brands--either well-known or very trendy--and the prices are very reasonable. Some items are even cheaper than what I've seen online, and you still get the fun of in-store shopping. Also, don't miss the items displayed near the checkout counter! Many of them are on promotion--BOGO deals, half-off items, and other specials. Definitely worth checking out! I think this will be one of my regular shopping spots from now on! read more

I'll be honest, when I saw videos of this place popping up I thought this was just another trend passing through. If you've ever been to Japan you know how exciting it can be to visit a store like Don Quixote or Sun Drugstores because they have a plethora of items that just feel like they're done so well. I never thought I would find something similar to that in the states but here I sit corrected with Ebisu Life Store. First Impression Firstly, let's get my first impression out of the way: I was vastly underselling this place from just aesthetics. Looking from the exterior this place looks like it's a cover up for a business that probably went bankrupt in a shopping plaza that's seen better days. Your assumptions to the same state on the inside as the outside would be warranted, but walking in you see there's a lot of effort put in. The space isn't large but they do a good job of making the space attractive. There are brightly colored walls to match the brightly colored lights above. Things do look a little empty here and there, like they're just getting started with this business and that's because they are. They're still in their soft opening phase. Once they fully stock and round out the space in their grand opening I'm sure the space will look more balanced. Products - More like Japan Than Expected Their product selection was much closer to what you'd find in Japan than almost anywhere else I've been in the states. As someone who only came back from Japan just three weeks ago I was surprised to see some products I never expected to see arrive to the US. Their focus seems to be on the gatcha games, crane games, and figurines. They have a vast array of them covering 1/2 of the walls in the store. The prices are decent for the figures although the claw games feel a bit too pricey for the prizes you can win. Their selection of snacks is pretty exceptional. Even with a small size for their store there was a wide arrangement of different types of Lays you would only see in Asia, Cup Noodles you normally don't see in the states, and multiple types of melon soda that was worth diving into. Their bath and home stuff was pretty great too. Though not as vast as a Don Quixote store in Japan they had some products that are normally Japan exclusive such as soaps and bath supplies. One wall, closest to the cashier, is also lined with cosmetics and skincare you'd find in Japan. Again, not as varied as in Japan but still a refreshing selection compared to other stores. Another thing I liked was their ice cream section where they have the viral fruit ice cream from Asia that are shaped like the fruit flavor they represent. They even have some that are discounted as they are slightly damaged when it comes to aesthetics. Conclusion All in all, I enjoyed my time spent perusing the aisles for Ebisu Life Store. I spent more time than I expected and even left with items even though I wasn't planning on shopping. I look forward to seeing what they look like once they're fully operational and shopping here once more. read more

I saw that Ebisu opened in Anaheim so I stopped by in the evening and it was packed! The new store location feels a lot bigger than the other location, so I enjoyed exploring the new additions- the arcade, sanrio / hello kitty wall, more snacks & bigger beauty section. I think the blind box section is slightly smaller than the other location, but still has a lot of options! They had a lot of deals ongoing so I got to pick up snacks & beauty products at a really good rate. Highly recommend checking their beauty section- there was some very good quality shampoo and skin care. read more

Crazy that another branch popped up in SoCal. This is definitely bigger than the Alhambra location and has more items in stock. It's brighter from all of the lights, has a huge multi screen TV at the front showing New Year's wishes with cute characters, and there's way more Gacha and crane game machines as well as other arcade like games you can win prizes like little figurines or plushies from. There is a wider selection of snacks, anime goods, and of course blind boxes. I love plastic heat death overconsumption capitalism. A lot of these I don't really care for since they're mostly loreless PopMart goods, but to each their own. They have some prize figures, anime acrylics and keychains. Love that they have a lot of plushie keychains here too. Probably a great place to get a gift for a person in your life who lives the Sanrio big 5 popular characters and some of the side characters they have too. Lots of Poke'mon and Kirby goods as well. I just recently did a make up run at the Alhambra location, so there wasn't much that I needed to get here, but my friends, one who hasn't been to the Alhambra one in a bit, and another who hasn't been to either locations, got toothpaste, and some other small goods. Some of the imported prices on anime and character goods are crazy (almost $30 for a smaller sized Gojo acrylic), but other prices for some make up and snacks and home goods are fair. There something about it that doesn't feel as inviting as the Alhambra location, maybe all of the blind boxes, fluorescent lighting, and dirty floors, but I felt like there wasn't as many really good random finds here like the other location. Yes more stock, but less rare gems. Then again this location just opened more recently, so we'll see. read more

We are in love with this store. My daughter and I can browse around for hours. So many goods like blind boxes, socks, Hello Kitty toilet papers, plates, school supplies, snacks, unique ice creams, and so much more all at reasonable prices from Japan.

This place is a gem. This place pretty much has it all. It has all the newest Japanese viral ice creams and bottled drinks. It has claw machines and gacha machines. They have blind boxes galore. They have Gundams galore. Shout out goes to Jay (Social Media Manager) in particular. He always goes above and beyond for us when we're there. My little daughter loves the store and we go almost weekly. Jay has always been nice to her and even gave her a few tokens to try her luck on the claw machines. Super nice guy. Thank you so much!!!! read more

really cute little shop that honestly feels like a mini japan inside. they have a good mix of things--anime merch (like one piece and dragon ball), lots of claw machines, plus a ton of small gifts, stationery, and random cute items. it's the kind of place where you'll probably find something even if you didn't plan to buy anything i also liked their beauty section. they carry japanese skincare, masks, sunscreen, and some hair care, which is nice if you don't want to order online the claw machines are fun but kinda hard (so be prepared to spend a few tries ) overall a fun spot to walk around, especially with friends or if you're into japanese snacks and cute stuff. not huge, but there's a lot packed inside and easy to spend more time than you expect read more

Really fun little store. Took me back to the days when I first went to Tokyo Central. Went awhile back during the hype and they were all very nice and helped with any questions we had.

Located in Anaheim, this is a new spot that brings Japanese imports to the OC. They have tons of options for makeup, ramen, chips, snacks, anime figurines, and blind boxes. We came out with a bagful of stuff. Things were well stocked and there were plenty of items that I don't see everywhere (eg:salted caramel Kit Kats, strawberry Oreos, evangelion blind boxes), but also expect that pricing will reflect the fact that these things have been imported from the other side of the world. read more

After visiting the location in LA, I did not have high expectations for this location. My sister really wanted to check it out, so I tagged along. I already had a better feeling about this place from its location alone. In Orange County and has ample parking as it's located in a shopping plaza. The organization of this place is better than the LA location and I find navigating where the items could potentially be is a lot easier as well. They offer all things Japanese - household items, skincare/makeup, food/snacks (including viral, novelty icecreams), and toys including blind boxes. While pricing is about the same, tax is a lot easier on the pockets here than LA. I have found some items here that I normally purchase further elsewhere, so it's nice to know it's here. read more

Ebisu is such a cute little Japanese shop. It feels like stepping into a tiny corner of Japan. Every shelf has something fun to look at. They have a bunch of claw machines that are honestly hard to walk past. Plushies and prizes everywhere. It brings out your inner kid real fast. The store is also full of adorable knick knacks. Stationery, small gifts, and random goodies you did not know you needed. It is the kind of place where you go in for a quick look and end up wandering around for a while.

Big store with lots of cutlery, snacks, hello kitty toilet paper, legos, blind boxes, plushes, ice cream and more. Good amount of claw machines too that range $5-$10. Plenty of parking and nice staff. Would return if ever in the area read more

So fun and unique! I love the options from ice cream, skincare, makeup, stationery goods, household items, necessities, blind box, plushies and etc. I do wish they keep up with the restocking items because the ice cream area was almost empty. Other thing I do recommend is if you can add more drinks variety of coffee and matcha would be great as it was very limited for a person like me thats not into carbonated or soda drinks. read more

Feels like you're walking into a mini Don Quijote but less over stimulating lol. They have a variety of items from plushies, cosmetics, kitchen supplies, snacks, you name it, they likely have it.

For those that love Hello Kitty and Kuromi like me, you're in for a treat as they have so many items to choose from! I will say though that I did notice some of the price points are a bit expensive for certain items in comparison to other stores that carry similar items.
