    Had a great time visiting this kpop shop! Great parking lot and near lots of other places like an 85 bakery. They have lots of merchandise from skincare, albums, official concert merch, and blind boxes. One of their main attractions is a photo booth with kpop themed filters for $12-$16. The staff are so nice and wonderful to talk to about for Kpop!

    My oldest loves Kpop Dreams. It's been awhile since we've gone but when u saw on Instagram that they now sell blind boxes, we had to go!!!! The store has way more stuff than u remember the last time I was there. Along with the Kpop albums and trading cards there's a new Photobooth and a ton of blind boxes and accessories! After looking around the store (up and down ever aisle a few times) my daughter picked out a Hug You blind box that she had been wanting. As we were leaving she begged her sister to take pictures in the photobooth! They have shelves of fun accessories you can pick from (hats, headband, sunglasses, glasses, etc). Once you're ready you go inside and pick a frame you want. It takes multiple pictures and when you're done you can pick the 4 pictures you want use. So fun! We'll definitely be back soon to check out the blind boxes and albums!

    This is my favorite store in the area to check out recently released and the more popular kpop groups. They sell albums, photocards, merchandise (plushies, keychains, photocard holders etc.) and sometimes even skincare lines are available. The store went through a recent renovation and is looking very clean and organized. Someone usually greets me when I walk into the store. It's always fun to walk through the aisles to look for my favorite artists or maybe to find a new group. Newest album releases are usually located on the shelves towards the front of the establishment. Otherwise, if I have any trouble finding something specific the employees have always been very helpful. Keep an eye on Instagram as they regularly post and share new items in store. They actually recently held a meet and greet/signing event with a Korean band. I appreciate that events are being scheduled more regularly. I will say the store tends to only carry the most current kpop groups and releases. I have always been able to find BTS, Seventeen, Stray Kids and Ateez. There are definitely a good amount of girl groups too. If you are seeking Kpop this is the place to shop. Sometimes there are too many choices so it can be helpful to know the specific name of the group or album if say buying for a present and not for oneself. Parking isn't too bad. There are usually spaces not too far from the store. It's also in the same parking lot of KP International so I usually hit up both when in the area.

    It's rare to find a K-pop store with just about everything a fan could want, including light sticks. I also really appreciate that they carry more than just K-pop merchandise. They have Labubu pendants, Lulu Teddy pendants, Hirono figurines, and other collectible items that are hard to find. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I genuinely enjoy stopping by whenever I'm in the area.

    I saw that the ownership changed here, then saw they are now active on Instagram as well. I noticed they posted some BT21 blankets so I headed over there to check it out. I was shocked at how empty the place was! Not sure if that was just the change in ownership or if they're planning to add more things but it looked so empty. A lot less merchandise than before, but at least I did find the blanket I wanted for my daughter. The location is convenient here since it's next to a lot of great eateries and the international supermarket, so you can shop or eat within walking distance. I hope that they'll start stocking up on more items here because it's one of the very few places to find K-pop items!

    Super cute local business for blind boxes, kpop albums, keychains, stationary and much more! They also have the legendary Photoism photo booth which is very popular in Korea because of their selection of themed photo booth frames.

    I recently visited K-Pop Nation with my family and boy were we really overwhelmed with all the Kpop goodies here! So many BTS items as well as BT21 merchandise. Lots of photo cards, lots of accessories, posters and albums. I would highly recommend taking your time going through each aisle! I ended up getting a BT21 shirt, a photo album and a keychain. I could easily have spent more but I needed to be mindful of my budget! Staff are very friendly and the place was clean! Lots of room for parking and I hope to be back soon! Thank you!

    Our first encounter at this store was back in May 2024 ( 1 week before TXT concert in Oakland). We came in on their promo week 20% off everything in store. As we walked in, nice lady greeted us. We look around and saw that they have many selections of goods. Posters, photo cards, albums, keychain, charms, etc. Our main focus was the TXT lights that my 8 year old daughter and I wanted. We bought two at 20% discounted. I also got her a picket & a photo card of Taehyun. Customer service is friendly and everything in store is very neat & clean. I would def return to make more future purchases for my daughter. I am sure in the future she would ask us to attend another concert as she gets older. Note: I end up not using the picket because I realized it was not the current ( Act: Promise) but, I did end up buying the current picket of Yeonjun at the concert (Act: Promise).

    Photoism booth!

    I love this place. There is so. much. merch. They constantly keep prices as low as possible given the tariffs & high international shipping prices. Huge selection of photocards that is constantly growing. Blind boxes as well, if you're into that. They're a small team of employees that is always open to feedback & requests for new items and groups to stock, and they're very accepting and kind to everyone who comes into the store. They also host events for trading photocards, as well as allow fans to hold their events at the store too. Super cool place. It's come so far in the last few years. The rebranding was definitely great for them! They also keep things neat and tidy given how large the store actually is, which is surprising to those who only see it from the outside. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area and love kpop, or even just love a blind box or a photo opportunity at the Photoism booth there!

    I'm so glad this place is permanently open now. I used to keep track of their IG posts to know when they're open but it's been so popular I'm glad they've decided to stay! Things were originally on tables with overflowing boxes under them. It's been a few years now and they've finally got up permanent shelving and organizers for everything! It's very neat and clean now and as always, the workers are kind. I appreciate that they put two TVs up to play MVs while shopping. I will always drop in when I'm in the area.

    A friend and I were so excited to check out Oakland's KPOP nation since we were in town for the Ateez show on Wednesday and it couldn't have been a better experience their POB Pcs were cheaper than other kpop nations I've been too and they actually had THREE albums(certain versions) I needed to complete my collection!! Obvi got one free 3.99$ PC for each CD I bought! Plus since ateez was in town so when I got to the register the guy working asked who my bias was and even before I could answer the girl working said "oh I got it together already" and pulled out a mingi PC it was so sweet bc yes I had a chick PC holder on my purse but also yeosang and san's aniteez but yet she got me right they were so friendly and sweet I wish I lived closer so it could be my regular store. But 100% would recommend this place!!!!

    I actually really love this store. I've been to a lot of kpop stores throughout the states whenever I'm on vacation or whether I've lived in the area and this store keeps their prices pretty manageable compared to the others. No matter who works at the store on the day you come in, they allow you the freedom to roam without being pressured to purchase like a lot of other stores. The selection is vast and they even have pc holders, light sticks, and dicon merch as well! They're really receptive to questions and helpful so if you love kpop and are looking for a reliable store I'd suggest coming here!

    Plenty of BT21 merch

I really liked that the Folsom location had a way bigger selection of Funko Pops than the Arden location. There is so much stuff to look through in general at this location, since it's roomier. I specifically scoured the shelves for some Funko Pops to take home, and came across the cutest Jurassic World one (shown below) that I just needed to buy. I also discovered a beautiful Elvis Funko, but that one I decided to hold off on for now. My husband bought a Mewtwo Funko as well (not shown). Most of the Funkos were in really good condition. There was a Stranger Things Funko that I really wanted but alas the previous owner had damaged the box. From a collector's standpoint, the prices are fair. Of course this location had other collectibles and items for sale, such as clothes, records, and whatnot. I've got plenty of records at home and only want to purchase very specific records these days, so I didn't really bother to look in their record aisles. The staff were friendly and chill. I will definitely return to check for more Funko Pops in the near future!

    I had a very uncomfortable and disappointing experience at this store today…read more I saw two Xbox games priced the same -- one with a clean case but no disc inside, and another with a disc but a damaged case. Since there was no sign indicating that discs are kept behind the counter, l reasonably assumed the disc was missing and placed it into the better case. Instead of calmly explaining their policy, the employee immediately responded in an aggressive and disrespectful way, telling me to "put that shit back." Only afterward did he explain that the discs are kept at the counter - something that should have been clearly communicated to customers in the first place. A simple explanation would have avoided the entire situation. Being spoken to like that was unnecessary, unprofessional, and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. What made this even more upsetting was reading another customer's review describing how staff openly discussed taking advantage of a child who unknowingly brought in a rare Galaxy 3DS XL and traded it for a regular 3DS -- which is far less valuable. Instead of informing the child of what he had, they reportedly took advantage of the situation and even bragged about it afterward.Seeing behavior like that toward a kid is honestly disturbing and unethical. After experiencing the rude treatment myself, it's hard to believe this was an isolated incident. On top of all of this, many of the games and consoles here are significantly overpriced compared to other stores. This is especially concerning for beginners or casual gamers who may not yet know typical market values. Between the aggressive customer service, lack of clear communication, unethical behavior, and high prices, this is not a store I would return to or recommend. (l've attached a screenshot of that review for reference.)

Today is the 2nd time I have been here & the employees who helped me are very professional, helpful, and courteous. If you were selling anything here they are meticulous however they do pay more than other places.

This place is a gamer's paradise plus holy Grail for the hard to find game(s) *see picture of a PS2 game in my review. I definitely would recommend all gamers or just anybody shopping or selling to try this place first before going anywhere else especially places like GameStop.
