I visited this location for the sake of nostalgia and walking around the Pacific View Mall. I really liked a sweater, but couldn't justify the $50 price tag. I love that the employees can express themselves with their outfits and accessories. They were very kind. read more

Hot Topic - The image shows the interior of a retail store with brick walls and industrial-style ceiling lighting. Clothing items are hung on racks on the right side, and accessories such as jewelry and hats are displayed on a central wooden fixture. The back wall is decorated with a grid of album covers or artwork, and shelves hold vinyl records and boxed items. A young child is visible on the left side, browsing the merchandise. The store appears to sell music, clothing, and accessories. - Accessories Near Me - Ventura, California

Such an amazing store, perfect location atop the escalators of the main entrance - adjacent to the food court. Every time I visit, the associates are engaging, friendly, and sincere. I appreciate their help and courtesy. On a recent visit (Sunday, 04/30) I enjoyed a great visit, due to the exemplary professional skills and knowledge of AMBER, a Hot Topic Associate Rock Star!! She located my online order promptly and proficiently processed my purchase. She answered all of my questions and made me feel appreciated and welcomed. Hot Topic remains one of my favorite brick and mortar establishments. In the midst of online shopping, Amber stands as a strong argument for genuine face to face interaction and shopping. The entire experience is much more satisfying and memorable. Feelings which are associated with such outings remain for years in the happiness of the mind's eye. Thank you "AMBER" for exceeding all of my expectations and for your passion for all things HOT TOPIC!! It's a rare occasion you find someone who was a genuine HT fan before they became part of the HT company family! I hope you receive the recognition and rewards you deserve for such stellar customer service. You represent HT in the best manner possible, and emulate their superior service philosophy. Great Job!! #1!!! read more

These stores are basically pop culture products galore. I haven't been here since high school, in 2009, but my now husband and I visited this location on a day out as friends. We goofed around with the sunglasses and been inseparable ever since. Thanks for a first "date" location Hot Topic, haha. read more

I usually don't write a lot ofreviews. This shop exceeded all of my expectations. The floor and clothes were clean, the clothes had very cute designs and the prices were affordable. All anime fans need to shop here. 5 stars read more

I was in the store to use my $10 reward I finally picked out what I wanted and I got to the register and she told me I can only use one at a time so stupid The cup I got was super cute but I was still upset that I couldn't use both rewards even though in my app it said I had a $10 reward not two separate five dollar rewards she said I can only use it on one purchase at a time five dollars at once dumb don't advertise it like that on the app then and the girl with the black hat had an attitude read more

I like this store when I need a unique gift. Great location in the Mall with an awesome selection of novelty tee and band tee. They have the standard Hot Topic stuff from shoes, clothing, CDs to ear and body piercing stuff and gauges. The men's and women's side of the store both has a great selections with assorted fashions. This trip we were looking for thigh high socks fol my daughter found them... buy one get one 30% off sweet! They have Zots too! Bonus! read more

Pretty typical seeming Hot Topic. Seems to have been overrun by figurines the last few times I've been here. An entire wall of them? I'm not sure that's really a good use of space... but maybe it's working for them. Specializing in emo/goth style shirts, shoes and accessories, they also have a number of figures and particularly, Hot Topic exclusive figures, if figures are your thing. Their little anime figures or Japanese characters seemed very up to date including Gudetama mini plushies which I hadn't expected to see. read more

Hot Topic sells Deadmau5 shirts. I was walking through the Pacific View Mall when I realized this. Raver shirts at the mall...how mainstream can the scene get? Epic fail. read more

I really love what they have in the shop but this green haired employee really is so mean. She didn't even try to help with t-shirt requests and said my husband is not allowed to use the fitting room... read more

I like this store when I need something unique. The store is styled and designed for the young but I still find cute items that I like. The quality is not that great for the price but you are not buying something that is meant to last you for years. read more

Not really used to doing this stuff but I just had the most wonderful experience at Hot Topic last weekend! Kim was the best help ever, she personally made sure that I did not leave dissatisfied and empty handed! I was so impressed by the service and quality of my visit that day. Most of the time walking in is very intimidating but I felt so welcomed by her. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Screw this store. Bad customer service. Employees were rude. I received a gift and I wanted to exchange it because it wasn't the one I wanted. The gift had size tag but no price tag. Which I had no idea BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINALLY A GIFT (I HAD ORIGINAL RECEIPT!) So basically Had an exchange and a guy employee with curly hair did not know what he was doing. He kept "going to grab a manager from the back" and returned with no "manager" a couple of times & still confused! Other girl finally comes out and is still giving me a hard time. I was trying to be calm and not say anything but customer service is the first thing y'all should be worried about ! Never going back ! read more

Love shopping at this Hot Topic, I've recently moved up here and started shopping this location for all my POP needs and everyone that works here is so cool and helpful, from Toni, George and the rest of the gang. All are very knowledgeable and really look out for the personal collector and know many people just buy to resell at inflated prices. This store came up with the best idea for those of us that work and can't hang out every day to snag the Chase figures - they put people into a raffle for a chance to buy a Chase if your name is pulled. That is really looking outfit your regular customers. They've made me a customer for life! Thank you to the whole crew. Chuck read more

That was literally the worst experience I've ever had at a Hot Topic. The front had a sign that said "wait to be allowed through" basically and I stood there for a couple mins, no one was even checking, so I took a couple steps in, got shooed out for him to just tell me not to take my mask off and social distance. Ok. Pointless, I knew that. Lol I came looking for Halloween costume stuff, I asked the girl working if they had anything, she didn't look up and was obviously bothered that I asked. She said no, this is all we got. And pointed to a side of the store. There was only myself and one other girl. What happened to this place...? read more

Great costumer service, very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend stopping and shopping here. The staff is great!!!

These people play games in terms of the Funko Pop exclusives they claim they have and don't have in the store. They'll share one thing on their social media page and when you get there it's supposedly gone. When you ask them about it they act like you're asking for too much and a bother. The same item then shows back up again an hour later in another social media post. The store is a mess too. Hangers on the floor. Items on the floor. read more

I personally as a teenager think that hot topic is like the best store like ever!!!! I go there every week with my best friend. It's right in the mall across from my store so it's super helpful!!!! #HTlove read more

So, I've been shopping at this Hot Topic since middle school (over 15 years) and I've never really had a problem until recently. The vibe at this store is now god awful, and staffed with rude employees. I'm not sure when this changed or whether management is slacking off but they need to check their employees. My cashier today sold me a defected Funko pop and I didn't notice until after I walked out of the store. I immediately felt odd because he asked whether anything was wrong with the Funko before completing the transaction and I've never been asked this when purchasing from them. I got this feeling that there must have been something wrong for him to ask and when I inspected the Funko pop in better lighting, I noticed that it was scratched. I returned and politely let him know that I noticed it was scratched and whether he had more that I can choose from. He just stood there and interrupted before I even finished my sentence to rudely tell me that there was only one left and just radiated negative energy. The cashier ID on my receipt is 170864. At this point, I'm unsure whether I would ever return to this location. read more

Great location with an awesome selection of novelty tee and band tee. The mens and women's side of the store both has a great denim selection with assorted fashion tops. The store also can order any item you see on its website. read more

I love Hot Topic so much! This is the closest one to me cause I live in Santa Barbara and I wish there was one here. The people are always so nice and helpful whenever I go. I feel free there and they carry a lot of different types of merchandise. I recently bought an MCR shirt there and I love it. My brother wanted a Hatsune Miku shirt and I looked for it but it wasn't there and I asked a worker and he let me take the one that was on display. It's a great place read more

I called to get a shirt size confirmation and the girl just left me on hold for 34 minutes, thats a half hour just to get a yes or no answer that i still never got. its now 1:30pm 12/09/11 and should not be that busy in store. On another note i remember going to a hot topic to find items that were dark and goth but now all thats offered is "sell-out" items and images of the mainstream. What happened to good ol spiked bracelets? hot topic is dead now if you want what the old hot topic had just go to TOXIC in the same pacific view mall. read more

I like Hot Topic (for example, they had a cute tee-shirt featuring two soft serve ice cream cones with faces) but not this particular location. It's too narrow so you're constantly bumping into other people, even when there aren't that many people in the store. Much of the merchandise is hanging up, so you have to look up (which is awkward). They have the standard Hot Topic shoes, clothing, CDs but the selection isn't as good here. read more

The sales rep with the funny mustache was extremely pushy about making his sales I wanted to get a shirt for my girlfriend and he rang up and insisted I bought the other shirt that was 50 percent off because' it would be stupid not to' HOE, clothes may be cheap for you with your discounts but us regulars have to pay full price, only reason why I'm leaving two stars is because Mitchell is a good sales rep. read more

I've been to this store several times and have always been happy wit the service and the merchandise. I recently bought a Little Mermaid jacket, a Beauty and the Beast jacket, and a Cinderella dress. OMG these are amaaaazing!!! I also love their Pops, of course :) The General Manager George is always super helpful as are the other managers. Ryan and Tony are beyond patient and always answers my questions, and I have a lot! Super helpful staff and you can't go wrong with anything Disney related!!! 5 stars for sure! read more

(to the person above me) the store is called "Hot Topic" it's obviously no longer a punk-themed store, but a trend store. and since raving is 'popular' (yes, still makes me sick) it continues to make $$ for HT, but still maintaining majority of the store to be the alternative/punk rock style. All corporations turn to shit, I am glad to see Hot Topic still satnding, and thriving. Even if that means selling Deadmau5, it just shows how mainstream Deadmau5 made himself, so don't hate on HT for something a Dead Rat did... read more

I like this store for the chnge of product lines and the deep price cut. It is a teen plus store and has lots of good lables. It is overcrowded and hard to shop but that is half the fun! read more
