I came back to the store unsure of what to do, and Jeremy and Chloe were amazing. They took the time to listen to what I wanted and helped me find a pen I unexpectedly fell in love with--the LAMY 2000. They weren't just trying to sell me a pen; they genuinely wanted to help me find the right one. If you're looking for a fountain pen in LA, this is the place to go.

My boyfriend had just stopped next door at the pasta shop to pick something up for me when he…read morenoticed this cute little boutique on his walk back to the car. He immediately said, "This looks like something you'd love," and walked in while we were on FaceTime so I could look around and decide if I wanted anything. When he first walked in, the greeting was warm. They said hello, asked how he was doing, and everything seemed perfectly normal. But within seconds--before he'd even had a chance to browse--an employee, who I believe was the owner, asked, "Is there a reason you're filming?" He explained that he wasn't filming at all; he was simply on FaceTime with me so I could shop with him remotely. She then said they sometimes have influencers come in and that she'd rather give them a proper tour. To be honest, that explanation didn't make sense to us and felt more like an after-the-fact justification than the real reason for the question. No one had asked for a tour, hinted that they wanted one, or even had enough time to look around yet. It's a small boutique that's easy to browse on your own, and we were simply shopping like any other customers. What made the interaction especially disappointing is that my boyfriend is a Black man who walked in, politely greeted everyone, and was doing nothing more than helping me shop over FaceTime. Whether someone is on FaceTime, taking a quick photo, or recording a short video while shopping, they shouldn't immediately be made to feel as though they're doing something wrong. I can't speak to the employee's intent, but I can speak to how the interaction made us feel: unwelcome and unfairly scrutinized. We love discovering and supporting small businesses, and we fully intended to buy something. Instead, we left immediately because the entire atmosphere changed. We genuinely thought we'd stumbled across a hidden gem, but unfortunately we walked away feeling judged rather than welcomed.

I support small businesses in our west side, which is the best side area of town! A must visit for us Angelenos and visiting friends and family! My friend bought a lot of things too! Never have seen her get so excited about her purchases... And all the customers that we saw inside the store were feeling the same excitement! Highly recommended for sure!

You can also find Japanese manga and other unique Japanese goods. Their always excellent selection includes blank books, journals, plushies, and cute tote bags.

This includes fresh sushi to go and shops featuring all kinds of Japanese fast food. After shopping, you can enjoy a meal there--shop, then eat: it's a great plan. Friendly service. Easy to park!

While waiting for a restaurant to seat you, you can walk around in here and look around. There were several things that were pretty unique to me, and I found the shop very well-managed and clean. Even though it was a small store, there was still several workers present which was pretty interesting to me. But yeah, I think if someone wants to buy anything related to anime, have any unique chopsticks, Pokemon, pencils, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli, or some squishy toys, they will enjoy coming here. Prices pretty reasonable. You will be tempted to buy something for sure! Lots of very cute plushies also and I found it funny/cool they even sold backpacks for Labubus! - no bathrooms inside - lots of blind boxes - cute eye-catching displays at the windows

My son was looking at one of the dumpling squishy toys and flipped it over to see how much it was, when all of a sudden, the girl storms over and chastise him "don't try to open the item" and snatches that toy from him and went back to the counter to see if the item has been open. I was nearby and witnessed the whole thing and I asked my son what happened. He said I was just trying to find the price. I saw the girl trying to see if the box was open and of course it wasn't. This type of service is very off putting, hawking people and rudely accusing them of doing something they didn't. Needless to say, we left immediately and will never return.
