Shop Yuji is one of several handmade finds and gift shops in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) area with…read morecurated shelves featuring items from various local artists and indie designers. [Parking]: Free parking behind the building. If the lot is full, then there should be plenty of alternative free public parking options in Downtown Alhambra.

The shop carries sticker designs, pins, stationery items, washi tapes, keychains, plushies, greeting cards, tote bags, trinkets, mugs, posters, hats, art books, mouse pads, Bluetooth speakers, original blind boxes, scented candles, etc. Visitors will also find selected IPs based on Snoopy, Hello Kitty, Pokémon, and etc. There is a mini print vending machine at the front entrance. [Conclusion]: S-tier Asian-inspired chibi and creative small gift shop in Downtown Alhambra. If you are a fan of artist alleys at local conventions or pop-up events, then this shop is right up your alley - no pun intended.

How cute~! The prices are definitely a little high in this shop, but it is "gift" pricing rather…read morethan "outrageous" pricing.

The shop is located across from Daiso. [What to expect]: In addition to Labubu and POP MART blind boxes, they also have really cute Sanrio character Eternal Flowers Bouquets, crochet flowers, small jewelry, keychains, and trinkets. [Conclusion]: This retail shop is distinct enough to stop by if you are in Monterey Park & especially for those who are looking for slightly different Sanrio character gifts like the Eternal Flowers Bouquet.

I guess if you can't find it at 528 straight across, you can try to find it here. Lots of blind box goods on display and you can get accessories for them too. They also have a DIY station in the back for customizing goods like many of the other DIY arts and crafts that you see nowadays (oshikatsu storage, cases, frames) and they even have acrylic stick on nails here too. They have stickers and lots of strange and cute unique keychains (not from characters or franchises that I recognize so they may be OC's), but aside from the Pop Mart original characters they also have some licenses goods here like the wall of One Piece goods. It's not really my cup of tea, but quick place to grab a gift if you know someone who enjoys this stuff and don't wanna venture into a Pop Mart.

As a middle-aged father looking for a hobby we could share that didn't involve screens or video games, I'd read a bit about Gunpla and decided to give it a shot. What a find! The owner was incredibly helpful and patient with us, taking the time to understand what we were looking for and guiding us to first sets that were perfect for our skill levels. His enthusiasm was genuine, and it made the whole experience fun and welcoming, never overwhelming for complete beginners like us. The prices are very reasonable, which is a huge plus when you're testing out a new hobby with your kid. We both walked out with our own kits, and I have to say, I'm just as hooked as my son! Building these models has been a surprisingly relaxing and rewarding experience, and I'm already looking forward to tackling more complex builds and refining them. I'm planning to return soon to pick up a few more sets for Christmas gifts and to expand my own collection. If you're looking for a screen-free activity to share with your children or just want to explore the world of Gunpla, I highly recommend stopping by this shop. The passion and knowledge of the owner really make all the difference.

This place has everything.... shiny new comics, ancient relics from the comic book Stone Age, Manga, and probably a cursed scroll or two.

Top-tier. The collection? Comic heaven!!! Parking? Well... it's street parking, so bring your sneakers and mentally prepare for a hero's journey to the front door. Worth the quest. Would definitely return!!

Service was great the owner Lluvia I think if that's right, she was super nice. Did know most of the prices she'd go for, the Freddy Funko Pop of him as a captain I asked her she gave me $30 and for the 500 piece soda was for $25 some Pops didn't have prices either since they just got them in or they personally collected but got rid of but just pointing it out would be nice to have everything on the website, I didn't see the ones I bought that day on the website maybe be nice if they can make a categorized website tab by genre like in the store is all categorized correctly by genre. Value was really accurate way better prices then I've been too. I'll be back to see this place again maybe one day. Selection was nice and wide open always check behind stuff too because theirs more behind, if you personally go. They have a lot of stuff don't get yourself lost here.
