    I rushed home from work to pick up a package that was delivered to the store. The store is supposed to close at 7. I arrived at 6:44 and the doors were all locked. Some skinny white boy looked at me and gestured that they were closed.

    Okay first off, this store is huge compared to any other hot topic store in SoCal. They have a huge amount of stuff from anime t shirts to rap to metal. I love that there is something for everyone there. My experience at this store was beyond satisfying and an enjoyable shopping day. Tony who was on the sales floor really does care about customers. He checked up on us twice and made sure we were being attended to for items that were out of reach to customers, he was not only assisting us but he was answering questions from other customers all while keeping a great attitude. Most hot topics that I go to have very rude staff. this store not so much and I only say this because there is a female worker who looks like she does not want to be there. Tony sets a great example for those who truly love working in retail! You are awesome dude!

    My family to a detour on our Hollywood tour and cake across the cool Pop culture retail store. They had literally everything and it's a little overwhelming. But me and my kiddos fixated on the shades rack and ended up buying three pair. Our family members all bought items the liked as well. The deal was buy two get one free. Very cool store. I will have to go back because it looks like they have awesome gifts for very decent prices. They also have a frequent shopper pass. I was surprised to see that my 17 year old niece had the pass and had accumulated $5 from her previous trips at her local mall. She saved it for another day though. My nephew found a really cute Brony wallet and so he replaced that last wallet he bought from there 5 years ago. Our sun glasses didn't last, but made extremely cute photo props and I do not regret buying them one bit. Great experience!!

    Staffs a little lackadaisical and I'm a little too old to be shopping there but cant deny they are a guilty pleasure. Sell cool stuff.

    The events are great! The music is always on point and the staff is friendly. Everything you could want from HT is in this one place.

    Not going to talk about the quality of the clothes because you know what it is but the service…read moreshould not be cheap just because the product is. Came to return an item, then only short time that I had do finally pass by and return. No lines for the cashier Yay! But not so fast! The young girl inspects the item, the receipt and then proceeds to inform me that she cannot process the return, only the manager can. And the manager just went on break and that I have to wait 15 min for the manager to come back from the break and that only that manager can process the return. Then the manager comes with an attitude pretty rude and tells me that they only do exchage and no returns... I guess I am not shopping here anymore

    If I could give this no stars I would. Got discriminated in…read morehere today. I am disabled so have to make commutes and had a big bag carrying my stuff for work. It was pretty half full and it's a sponsored bag, like I make money. If you read the reviews they do automatically think you're stealing which is dumb because I was going to buy this cow shirt. They chased money away. They had security escort me from the dressing room and wouldn't tell me why and told me I was banned from ever coming back. I was like well do you want to see my bag I didn't steal anything. But security said they refused service to me and wouldn't tell me why and they didn't know either. I was dressed nice too, pink skirt with rhinestones and a shirt with button ups. I also literally put some clothes back that I had tried on that didn't work and the workers saw me and tried on the items I was allowed to bring in. I was in the dressing room for 20 minutes total and there was barely anyone in the store. They didn't ask me to leave personally I would have - just immediately called security and told them I was refusing to leave which wasn't true- there was never any original confrontation. They knocked on my dressing room door and demanded I come out in my bra and I asked what I did wrong because if I did something I don't want to do it again but they wouldn't say. My theories are they thought I was sexting my boyfriend even though I wasn't I just called him to get his opinion on a dress and I ended up not even taking that call when he returned it because he couldn't chat because he was on a cruise. The other theory is that because I'm white passing I hung up some clothes I didn't want because I knew I wouldn't be able to try them on in the dressing room and one fell down that I hung up because I'm low visioned and sometimes things are just a little awkward when my hands are full when I was rearranging to get a better grip on my pile by the shoes because I have limited peripheral and I smiled as a thanks to the lady who hung them up but I feel like she misread that. Normally I verbally say thank you but I was so tired because I've been working so hard at my social media jobs. It was a really weird experience but if you're disabled be careful when you go here. Honestly I would do a wellness check on the owner of this establishment because it's giving paranoia and psychosis. It's also giving if you are a hungry lawyer a really great case for discrimination. Read these reviews - very eye opening. I hope the owner and workers that reads this learn that you shouldn't assume the worst in people. Everyone is just trying their best and some people are just trying to support and shop. Made me realize why everyone is gravitating to online shopping rather than in brick and motors if they're gonna treat people like this.

    A friend brought me here shopping on the weekend. located right on La Brea avenue, we decided to go…read moreshopping and then stop for some lunch at Burgers 99. it was great day. I hadn't heard of the shop before visiting, and we went because there was a sale. They apparently had some water damage in January and just had opened back up... and wanted to release some of the damaged and unfinished clothes for discounted prices. First I need to mention that the management and owner were standing outside and greeting everyone, chatting with them. I heard the full story of how this place came about, and the struggles they went through during covid and the rain. Just a great group of people running the shop and you really root for them to succeed. I bought two t-shirts, a sweatshirt and a hat. It has become my favorite pieces of clothing. The shirts are comfortable but thick material, and don't hug you in an unflattering way. They fit so well. I will definitely come back once they have a new round of inventory to check out their stuff.

    This is hands down the best shop in LA. Now, I'm not a Los Angeles native, but the service that…read moreBlair, Miguel and team provide from their warm welcome to their uncanny ability to make you feel at ease are incredible. Come to this shop and not only feel like a local neighbor and friend, but be treated like one and become one. Their curated goods all high value and high quality will be staples in your wardrobe for years. With classic American design they've done an unbelievable job for more than a decade and it will always be a stop I make when I come to town.
