    Left side inside store

    We're from SoCal and we're visiting family nearby. My girls LOVE K-Pop so this was a must stop shop. We came on 12/26/25 and when we walked in we were immediately curious about all the fun treasures we'd find. We saw the life size cardboard cut outs up front and snapped a quick selfie with RM, my ultimate bias! Talk about a score within the first few minutes, so I had a good vibe about this place from the jump! We took a quick lap around the periphery of the store and then worked our way to the middle. There was LOTS to see and the vast majority was official merch! Heck yes! We saw several albums, photo cards, light-sticks, keychains, bracelets, plus more. My girls were having a field day trying to narrow down what they wanted to go home with. I could see the K-Pop happiness in their little faces. There was a Photo Booth area near the front and a table and chairs for peeps to sit while their loved ones looked around the store. I saw a handful of shirts and some signed items. I had to help my girls make final decisions on their items because they were too excited with the overstimulation of K-Pop items. We purchase 8 items total from BTS, BabyMonster and Stray Kids. We walked out with a BTS light stick, some albums, a Stray Kids Karma pop up Seungmin puppy bracelet, a Hyunjin keychain and 6 lomo (business) cards for $253.66. The prices actually seemed fair and you can't beat the instant gratification, but we had to contain ourselves because we wanted to purchase more. I can totally see us coming here EVERY time we visit family in San Jose! Seungmin and Hyunjin are my daughters biases! The staff were helpful and answered all of our questions with a smile on their face, so that's a plus. One employee let us know he'd open the light-stick to check that it worked because light-sticks were final sale. He brought over some batteries, turned it on and showed us how to use it. Very kind of him! This K-Pop store was a fantastic find! When my girls are happy, I'm a happy Mama and feel blessed to give them what they want, not just what they need. K-Pop for the win!

    I somehow have now been a couple times now and they have a pretty good selection! Their staff is also so nice and it is always very nice to shop here! They also do carry pretty up to date items too. Came recently and they still have some of Enhypen's recent dicon magazines and also Cha eunwoo's new albums! Also still some Stray Kids Karma pop-up items left!

    Kloud is the first k-pop store in the South Bay and am so happy for their new and improved location! From albums, season's greetings, official merch, fan made merch to trading photocards. They really have it all. I love their donated album section, to give albums a second chance at life and on this last visit saw they had a box of "free" items as well. They carry so many different artists, variety of merch as well as clothing "as seen on your fave idol" which was so cool! All the staff here is super friendly and fun! Went recently for Le Serrafim CB and checked out Hello82 Exclusive merch. Love that you also get unofficial pcs of your bias, you know I had to get my Stray Kids one. My bias changes on the daily, but I'm trying to STAY loyal to I.N okay? Lots of parking out front and tap to pay makes emptying my *digital* wallet easy for people who don't even know I exist.

    Staff was nice!! This is all the stray kids stuff I bought!

    Super cute kpop store that's in the middle of business near north San Jose/Milpitas! It's a small venue, but with lots of personality with Kpop goods from albums, posters, and light sticks. Lots of parking available, so nothing to worry. I did an online order for an Ateez light stick and it was ready in 2 days time! Make sure to check their opening hours because some days they're closed. The wait staff were so kind and attentive when I walked up with my inquiry. They even assured the quality of my light stick before leaving the store by opening the box carefully, putting in batteries, and testing it out right in front of me! I also picked up a LeSerrafim album for my sister. With those 2 purchases, my sister and I were able to choose 2 photo cards of any member from any group! Super cool perks for shopping here! Would definitely come here again for my Kpop needs!

    DAY6 album I pre-ordered and two free PCs they gave me!

    Great k-pop store with a wide selection of artists/groups! Everything is well organized and easy to look through. I needed assistance with pre-ordering an album that was sold out on their website and they were able to help me out with it! I appreciate how responsive they are with their support email as well. Picking up my order from the counter was a seamless process and they offered me two free photo cards since I purchased an album. Super friendly staff! Definitely going to come back here if I need to add to my k-pop collection!

    I am always so happy to see K Pop stores open locally. Always supporting Asian-owned small businesses! Kloud Kpop is the first kpop store in the South bay I believe and they are holding it down! So much selection from all Kpop groups from A-Z from albums, non album content, DVDs, lightsticks, and other various merch. Its a really cute and small location but they make great use of the space. It was my first time visiting here and I was greeted by such nice staff who helped us look for the albums we were searching for. Excited to come back again!

    Decided to visit Kloud K-pop after having it bookmarked for so long. I double checked their hours on Instagram before coming just in case since I know this store is a small business. I saw they just stocked the NCT DREAM Candy albums so I was excited. I was going just to window shop but ended up waiting about 30-40 mins in line to enter the store. Therefore, I ended up buying the 2 SMinis and the photobook album version to make the visit worthwhile. The total came out to about $52. Because I purchased 3 albums, I was allowed to pick 3 posters for those albums. I thought it was pretty well priced as I was expecting to pay more. I had no idea what I was getting myself into since the SMinis didn't have prices on them. They also let me choose 2 freebie photocards that were made by them. They're pretty good quality and good to use if you don't want to use your authentic PCs. The area has pretty bad signal in my opinion which could've contributed to delay in processing payments because it does take awhile to pay. Expect a bit of a wait when coming here as it's small and busy! Overall it's nice to finally have a kpop store open in the South Bay. Excited to see Kloud Kpop expand in the future. Grateful for what they are now as a business!

    Super small but cute store. Staff very friendly. Daughter was super happy. Will probably come back again. Lines do get long but most customers are fast and courteous.

    The first k-pop store in the South Bay! I'm so happy that this small online shop has finally opened their in-person store! It's located in the Berryessa part of San Jose and has plenty of parking. Only 5 customers allowed inside at once. Hand sanitizer and face masks are provided at the door! You can order albums for pick up on their website or just come to the store to shop! The owners are very generous and try to make the k-pop albums as affordable as possible. Most of them range from $19.99 to $26.99. Very great prices. They also have a wide range of posters for $3 each! They have special deals if you buy multiple posters. They also create their own photocards with the different members of each k-pop group! Super creative and good quality. They look like legit pcs you can get in an album!

    The first k-pop store in San Jose! I've been following Kloud Kpop since they first announced their opening and I finally got to visit their in-person store last month! It's quite a small store so their capacity is limited to 3 people but I love the interior setup and collections that they have! They sell mostly albums and posters, but every once in a while they also carry Seasons Greetings and other specials. At the time I visited, I was looking for the GQ x BTS magazines and I was able to get the last Suga cover and the Suga and Jungkook GQ posters! All purchases come with a small photocard freebie as well! The business owners are also local k-pop fans and they were really nice when I came in as well! They also do local drop-offs if you make an online order and live in the SJ area, which is really cool too. Overall I had a great experience and will be coming back for any future album drops!

    One of the worst selling experiences I've had at a record store…read more I dealt directly with one of the owners, AJ, and the entire interaction felt disrespectful, evasive, and extremely shady. I brought in records to sell and simply asked what he was valuing a couple of them at individually. Instead of giving me a straight answer, he got defensive, kept saying he could find them elsewhere, and repeatedly tried to steer the conversation back to one bundle price. The biggest red flag was my East Side Story record. AJ clearly had a strong interest in it, but when I asked what he valued that specific record at, he still refused to give me a direct number. If you know enough about a record to specifically want it, you should be able to tell the person standing in front of you what you're valuing it at. I do not care if a store offers me less than market value. Businesses need to make money and I understand that completely. What I do care about is transparency. Don't act like someone is stupid just because they're young. Don't dodge basic questions and expect someone to blindly accept a bundle price without understanding what you're assigning value to. The whole interaction left me feeling like he was hoping I didn't know what I had so he could get a much better deal for himself. If your prices and offers are legitimate, there should be absolutely no reason to be secretive when a customer asks how you arrived at them. Being an owner doesn't give you an excuse to talk down to people, become defensive over basic questions, or make a customer feel like you're trying to pull one over on them. Young does not mean naive. I knew enough to ask questions, and the fact that those questions were met with attitude instead of answers told me everything I needed to know. I walked out with my records, and I'm glad I did.

Since Chinese painting and calligraphy are among my favorite hobbies, Soyodo has always been a meaningful place to find traditional Chinese painting supplies and guidebooks esp for maobi, painting flowers, landscapes, and ancient figures. I really appreciate that they also carry crafting supplies and classic Chinese literature, not just generic art books. Everything here feels rooted in tradition and care. The store also offers novels, children's books, Chinese New Year decor, vases, and small toys, which makes it feel like a cultural space rather than just a bookstore. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable. I've even found books for as little as $2-4, which makes browsing and discovering new reads even more special. The owners are an older Chinese couple who are quiet, reserved, and genuinely kind. One of the things I cherish most about Soyodo is how peaceful and calm the store is. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, browse without pressure, and feel grounded. Stores like this are rare and I truly hope Soyodo continues to thrive. If you value culture, tradition, and supporting a small family-owned business, this is absolutely a place worth visiting and supporting.

    Wow. What a massive disappointment…read more After hearing my brother talk about their previous location downtown I was excited to check out their store. I was surprised to find they moved to a new location but judging by the photos online I trusted it would be just as great. Turns out it looks like a tornado ran through the store and they just threw whatever would stick to the wall. Random merchandise everywhere with no cohesive organization. I couldn't even anticipate where to find anything I was looking for. The most organized part of the store was the table that had their photo card folders. All of their shelves had albums haphazardly tossed in groups that you had to guess what you were looking at. They also had some that looked opened and damaged just sitting there. For an advertised Kpop store they barely had any. 60% of the store was random nicknacks, photocard organizers, "kawaii" items, and whatever they could think of to make the store look full. All of that could have been much more palatable of their customer service wasn't so awful. Went and greeted the staff with a bright "Hello" and got a very flat "hi" from a disinterested girl behind the counter. Two girls and neither of them made me feel like I was welcome there. I was severely let down by this place. Save your money and go to Kloud Kpop instead

    This bookstore is awesome!! I can't believe I've never been here until now, though I have visited…read morethe Campbell location. First off, I love the political signs posted on the windows, like the "everyone is welcome here except ICE". When I walked in, the store looked exactly like what I've always envisioned a cozy community bookstore to be like--filled to the brim with books and with a lot of character. I came here to sell some books and it was pretty quick--I had probably 20-25 books and the employee finished in less than 10 minutes. As I was waiting for my books, I walked around exploring. I was very impressed with the selection of fiction. There were actually quite a bit of new releases, but also older books and editions that I would likely not find at a corporate bookstore. If I had the time, I'd love to spend 1-2 hours here just browsing. I didn't expect to get much money for my books; I was actually going to donate them and didn't realize that they still buy books, so their offer was ok. I was moreso pleasantly surprised that the employee was so nice lol, and also a little chatty. Honestly the last time I sold books was probably 15-20+ years ago at Half Price Books and I remember they were always pretty rude/standoffish lol. In addition to the service, the atmosphere, and the book selection, the cherry on top for me was that they have a special shelf where you can buy a book there for 50% off for them to donate to the library at Elmwood Correctional Facility at a bit of a loss for the store. I used most of my credit from the books to get a Stephen King book for the library.

    I've been visiting this bookstore for over 20 years and I definitely have a love/hate relationship…read morewith this bookstore lol. The Bad: The staff can occasionally come across as a bit unwelcoming, and I personally wish the storefront atmosphere stayed more focused on books and less on outside messaging. They sometimes price popular or trending used books higher than what you'd pay for a brand-new copy elsewhere. The Good: I absolutely love the character of this bookstore. Shelves packed floor to ceiling, creaky wooden floors, stacks of books everywhere, and even a cat roaming around the store it feels like something straight out of a fantasy novel. I've visited countless bookstores, and nothing beats the old vintage feel of this place. They have a great selection of beautiful leather-bound books, plus an excellent fantasy and sci-fi section. I especially love when they put books out in under $6! The prices at this location are better, and this store feels much more like a classic old bookstore. The Campbell location feels more like a modern bookstore, and the prices there can sometimes be higher. At the end of the day, this place is a San Jose landmark and everyone should visit it at least once. Even when I disagree with certain aspects of it, I still keep coming back because it's nostalgic.
