It's really interesting how a single kpop establishment has two stores inside the same mall. The…read morestore located in front of the escalators are dedicated to CDs. They mostly offer new releases (trust me, with a variety of versions) and a few throwback albums (from the late 2010s / early 2020s). Their location on the other end of the hall (next to 그녀 샵 [Geu Nyeo Shop]) has an extensive selection of posters, lightsticks and a few souvenirs. Being a kpop stan on budget seems like an oxymoron, however I made it possible by focusing on posters during my first visit. Their posters are placed on shoebox like shelves and are labeled according to group/artist. Here's my tip upon selecting posters: be sure to read the labels above the barcode. It tells you the poster's name. However, if you'd like a sneak peek of what the poster looks like, you may search on Google or Choice Music's website to see an actual preview. Take your sweet time, as long as it's not as busy and/or if you're determined to get the poster(s) that you want. Some posters (for example Seventeen) have dedicated ones per unit (vocal, performance, hip hop) and some have all members in one poster. Surprisingly, all of my 3 posters were on sale that day. Depending on the cashier on duty, they may offer freebies along with your purchase. Happy Hunting with many choices at Choice Music!

They used to allow this but disabled this option because of Covid. I feel like they can easily support this once again. IN STORE I like how everything is organized. It's easy to find things. Inventory is decent. WEBSITE The website has a nice layout and the search function works well. I haven't had any issues. SERVICE I've had a good experience every time. Today, Eunice helped me with my purchases. She took her time to go over everything with me and was really professional. The credit card readers have had issues a good number of times though. Maybe they can upgrade them.

The perfect place for all the K-Pop fanatics!!…read more Leading up to the Blackpink Deadline World Tour, here in LA, my sister did all of her research and had a list of merch she was planning to buy. I can't express the disappointment my sister faced when items were either sold out super early in the day and some items she was eagerly wanting wasn't available for sale in North America. Thankfully, Fandom K was all over our social medias. This little gem carries an abundance of items relating to the K-Pop genre but also specializes in items only found in Korea & Japan. This place was a dream come true for my sis and she was able to find a majority of her wants. Staff is kind and open to help if you are willing to speak up. 4 stars overall. Pricing is kind of high depending on what you are purchasing but I didn't expect anything less since the shop offers items that aren't normally available in the US. As a forewarning, parking is terrible if you are attempting to find something along the street. I suggest having someone wait in the car and swing back around to pick you up once you are finished shopping.

Kelly from Australia at the help desk is a GEM, kindly taking the time to educate me on the…read moresweetest vinyl buying lesson. I've barely begun to dip my toe into deep appreciation of physical music mediums, and accompanied my wife here on her birthday search for a few specific vinyls and CDs. My search was narrow, hoping for a Odesza vinyl. I found two vinyls from the A Moment Apart album I was in search for with one being a used copy in a deep sea foam color while the other was a clear vinyl. Because I knew nothing about vinyls, I went to the front desk where Kelly took the time to show me how; 1) properly remove vinyls from their sleeve, 2) the direction to clean vinyls using a microfiber cloth, 3) check downs to go through when inspecting a used vinyl, and 4) in why's behind inspecting vinyls the way she recommended. In taking the time to show me how to check 3 separate clearance vinyls, I felt even more stoked about my Odesza used vinyl find as it was fun colored vinyl not yet in our collection and in beautiful condition. Kelly - thank you for not being a gatekeeper. You rock!

So this is the newer Amoeba in Hollywood. They moved from the original location off Sunset Blvd,…read morethink awhile back. But, this location is pretty nice. It's located right across the street from the Metro B Line, so take the transit for super convenience! Walking in, there is security staff that's there that will do a bag check. They also do this when you're leaving the store. The store itself is a nice warehouse of everything you're looking for: music, movies, and merchandise like t-shirts, buttons, even some CD players (not top of the line, but they have them!). Everything is organized at this location - with lots of staff on the floor, restocking and organizing the racks. They have a good selection of everything, but also they don't have everything. I didn't find what I was looking for at my last visit, but it was still nice to browse through the store. They also seem to carry a lot of brand new CDs here. Amoeba's a cool shop if you've never been to one before. It's one of the remaining larger physical music shops left that have tons of music CDs, records, and other awesomeness.

I've gone to many KPop stores throughout the last decade of living in LA, but I can confidently say…read morethat KPop Bestie is my go-to KPop store. The selection is great with reasonable prices, both the upstairs and downstairs stores have bright and welcoming decor, and the staff are super nice and helpful.

They really do live up to the "Bestie" name.

I think this place is fine if you collect these kinds of items, but, as an outsider, I thought the prices were pretty high. The staff does not care either. They were too busy sitting at the front chitchatting with each other. I didn't buy anything myself, but they looked annoyed when other people would interrupt their conversation to buy things. Quite the opposite of what you want for a store. They had a downstairs as well, but I didn't bother checking it out.

Today we made it 15 minutes before closing, & as we walked in the lady tried to close the door on us and tell us we only have 5 minutes to browse. Okay cool, my daughter finds the photo cards she wants & instead of wasting 10 minutes browsing looking for an item I asked "do you have photo card holding albums" . In which the response I was met with was a rude "look yourself" . Just flat out rude. There was so many other ways she could've addressed it. " No I don't have that item" would've been sufficient enough. Don't plan on returning because of this experience, a real bummer for my daughter as she's been looking forward to this.
