Tofu's trading is one of my go-to card stores however my experience with it is not worth a five…read morestars. I have no problems with the employees, pricing, or the community. I think they do a good job of giving back to the community by hosting tons of play nights and trading events. I love the fact that they have a HUGE selection of different TCGS, especially Weiss Schwarz and pokemon! They have tons of unique products that you literally CANNOT find anywhere else. Their TCG accessories are abundant compared to other stores, so many options to choose from!! And they showcase small artists! Which unfortunately a lot of stores don't do, which makes no sense to me because art is the main drawing point of the TCG community. The employees are lovely as well! My problem with Tofu that causes it to not get a five stars review is that the store is tiny. There is almost no space to walk around if you end up going here when they're busy - which is 90% of the time. Since they host game nights almost every single night, there is almost always no room to walk around and explore since the store will be packed. Which is sad because I like to take my time to decide what I would like to buy. It honestly makes me not want to go here because there are plenty of other stores in the area that have a lot of room compared to Tofu. Another con is that it's located in Vietnam town, with tens of other businesses surrounding it. Finding parking is an absolute nightmare because there are almost always events being hosted in Vietnam Town. You either have to circle around the same area for ten minutes if you want parking that's close to the store or you have to walk 10 minutes to the store. It's honestly a shame that they opened a store in this location because it's the main reason why Tofu isn't my NUMBER ONE go-to store anymore. Pricing and community almost isn't worth it to justify a small store that doesn't have much room to walk around and is difficult to find parking for. I'd rather go to a different store that has less foot traffic or is bigger. I try to put up with it but it's very frustrating . Either way love the store but I rarely go here because of the reasons I listed.

The wife and I were walking around Japan town on Saturday and I poked my head into one of the…read morestores there looking for a new Gundam kit but there was only one. I asked the owner and he mentioned Tatsu hobby as it wasn't far away. First off, this place is kind of hard to find as it is in a completely nondescript industrial complex and far back from the street. There is no way you would just be driving around and come across this place, you have to be searching for it. Also the layout of the store is weird. You first enter into a small room with a couple of display cases, (nothing you can buy I think), with a small desk and a cash register to the right. There was a small man sitting there having a conversation with a person so I wasn't quite sure what to do. My first thought was, "This is it?" But then I noticed there is another room through a open door in the back, so I proceeded through. This is where the kits actually are. The main room is pretty cramped with a few shelves of kits and a table that 3 people were sitting eating at and having nerdy discussions. I wanted to ask a question but I wasn't sure if they worked there or not. I didn't really see that there was really any sort of organization to the store other than the Gundams pretty much seem to be along the rear of the room and other types of kits are near the front. My biggest gripe is that none of the boxes have a price sticker on them. You have to ask the guy up front. Lame. And the couple of kits I asked about were priced higher than other places I normally buy from like Newtype. I'll just stick with Newtype in Union City from now on. Unfortunately they are only open M-F but they do ship and I usually get my orders in a day or two. I wouldn't bother going to Tatsu again.

I've been…read morelooking for a kpop store that has a lot of diversity in terms of artists and has a ton of inventory. AND a place that sells individual photocards?? Instantly sold. I don't know any store that sells individual photocards, and it really makes completing collections and sets so much easier. I was very impressed by the middle table they had in the middle of the store that had many binders organized by groups with individual member PCs that you can purchase. The PCs are a little overpriced, but compared to Mercari shipping/fees and other third party sites, the PCs are basically what you can find at retail. You can basically justify Kandy Pop's prices with the instant gratification without waiting for shipping lol. But overall you can basically buy many photocards for the price of one album which is HUGE! I also love that they have a POB lucky draw/gatcha machine that rotates groups/sets regularly for $5/pull or with an album purchase. You can also sell your extra photocards here! If you have large quantities of PCs, you'd need an appointment but if you have a small handful (like I did), they will probably just buy your cards on the spot. They also have a wide selection of photocard holders, deco stickers and accessories, random assortment of trinkets, stationery, and blind boxes. This place is located inside a plaza inside Vietnam town. Parking may be difficult during peak hours but isn't too bad overall.

The shop the tucked away in the back of a plaza, not easy to spot. The shop itself is pretty small, not much of an options and most of the HotWheels are overpriced. Regular HotWheels are $5 each, HotWheels premium/ boulevards are $20plus. They got some jadatoys 1:24, limited options for miniGT, but of course they are overpriced!! But most of the overpriced die casts are nothing special, you could probably find them in your local Target, Walmart, DollarTree or even Amazon for way less. The dude who works behind the counter ignored us the entire time, even when we greeted him. Definitely not worth the visit, will not return.
