This store is located on the bottom floor of Weller Court next to the tunnel of lights. There was no store name on the exterior but the Japanese Chamber of Commerce confirmed to me that this is the name of the store; apparently it opened and closed at another spot in Weller Court in the past. The woman at the register greeted us and other customers as they came in. They sell a variety of plush anime characters, anime figurines, model kits, toys, novelties, clothing, etc. A fun place to browse or find a unique gift. I got a keychain with a plush character attached as a gift. Worth a visit whether you're a local or tourist.

Three stars for hilarious sign.

Literally walk in look around and walk out. Best part about this place is their small selection of yukata. Some of their Rilakkuma stuff wasn't legit but I haven't seen the knockoffs in a while. Hoping the quality will improve over time.

I drove to Little Tokyo today to pick up some merchandise. I went to several locations, but I decided to spend my money in this store because the prices were pretty cheap or competitive compared to other stores. What really impressed me was that there has been new management since last week, and he was very helpful and friendly in suggesting items. He also showed me that most of the items that he buys for the store are directly from Japan, which means they are legit licensed merchandise. I say 'almost' because they also have some good office supplies from Korea. I got what I wanted and went upstairs to get some ramen. Across from the store is a grocery store, so you can do hobby shopping, grocery shopping, and have lunch all in one stop! Sunday well spent!. PS more bunny girls Inc to this store.

Monkey D. Luffy keychain I got from here!

I always passed by this store whenever I go around the complex. They have a nice selection of Anime stuff there. It's a good souvenir stop shop to go to if you're going out around this area. Staff is pretty chill and outgoing. I definitely want to come back here when they update their inventory. They said they always get new stuff so I can't wait to see!

Cool selection of Bandai type of import toys, like Voltron, Gundam, anime, plushes, Mario Brothers, Ponyo, etc. They're a little smaller but they pack in a lot here.

It's an amazing place!! I love everything about it though I had a few things my sister got me from…read morethis store, she don't know what size to get so she asked for a Medium!! But when i tried it on it was a bit too tight on me, I wanted ti go exchange it for another size like an XL till i saw the website that says no exchanges. What a bummer i thought to myself but overall its a pretty amazing store!! Just try the clothes over there before buying it. ps.. i was in a rush to get home

We visited Neko Stop on a Saturday afternoon looking for a specific blind box our child is looking…read morefor. There was a line and a long wait to get inside Neko Stop. We were a party of 5 and waited about 15 minutes to get in. The young lady at the door was very sweet and apologized for the wait and long line. She informed us they can only allow specified number of people due to safety. It's a very small shop and everything is in close range. Neko Stop sells a variety of blind boxes and different series with different characters. Plenty to choose from. We did notice many of them are sold out. Customer service at Neko Stop is great. They have sales associate coming around asking if you need help and if there's a specific item you're looking for. Our child found the blind box series our child was looking for. We picked that up along with some stationary set and stickers. There are 2 check out counters and cashiers. The wait for payment wasn't too long, about 5 minutes. I was asked if I wanted a shopping bag by the cashier and I said yes because of all the merchandise we purchased for our child. Just be aware Neko Stop charges for a shopping bag doesn't matter how much you've spent.

Maneki Neko is the sister store of CATCH (which is on the 2nd floor across from Maneki Neko. You…read morecan take the elevator or stairs so they are super close to each other. The first thing I want to bring to your attention is HOW MUCH BLIND BOXES there are of various kinds. You've got some for newer popular anime series to older classic favorites, to several miscellaneous but ultra cute original characters (I'm looking at you, Baby3)! Watch out for end of season sales, although I'm not sure how often these happen, but I was in for a treat the last time I visited in mid-February. They had up to 50% off on select items, and they did not disappoint! One final piece of advice, other than if you're trying to avoid the crowd to arrive at opening hours and avoid the lunchtime, is to BYOB! This means bring your own bag (not booze)! Trust me, you'll wanna thank me later. :) I do recommend a bigger tote bag if you have one at home. The store does provide you with bags, but when your haul gets big/heavy, a nice tote will make carrying all those blind boxes A LOT easier. I went to 3 other merchandise stores including a Final Fantasy popup and ended up chucking everything in my one medium to large canvas tote. My palms thanked me for it. I'll include a picture of next haul since I wrote this review later than intended. Happy shopping!

Anytime I'm in Little Tokyo, I usually make a quick stop at Maneki Neko because it's always fun to…read morebrowse and see what new things they have in stock. The shop itself is on the smaller side, but they really pack a lot into the space. They carry a little bit of everything from snacks and blind boxes to household items and stationery. There's also a huge selection of Sanrio and anime merchandise, so it's a great place to find cute collectibles or small gifts. Whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for something fun for someone else, chances are you'll walk out with something. The staff has always been friendly during my visits, and while the store can get pretty busy at times, the overall experience is still enjoyable. Prices are fairly decent for the area which is definitely a plus. If you happen to be in Little Tokyo and enjoy browsing cute or quirky shops, I'd definitely recommend stopping by--it's worth the visit!
