I had NO IDEA there was even a Sanrio shop in this plaza until I was zooming in on Google maps to…read moresee what was in the area when there was an event going on nearby. It definitely is not as cramped and claustrophobic as the MPK Sanrio and has a good variety of character goods and items. They have the big popular ones that we all love and are familiar with: HK, Kuromi, Cinnamaroll, Pompompurin, My Melody, etc. But they also have the classics like Badtz Maru, Tuxedo Sam, Pekkle, Pochaco, etc. and other characters like Cogimyun, Kirimi-chan, Pickles the Frog, Gudetama, etc. They also had the jirai-kei/Gothic lolita looking MeloKuro goods here and I know those have been super popular lately. It seems that the back of the shop was once the cashier but that 1/4 of the shop was being set up/inventory of items going on there so unsure what it's gonna look like after. They do have a lot of the newer items that I've seen from the Sanrio newsletter such as the Matcha series and the HK 50th anniversary goods. Solid Sanrio store.

I feel so bad giving this place three stars. Maybe I've been in a cave the last twenty plus years…read moresince I haven't been in a sanrio but I was SHOCKED to see the prices here. Brought my daughter here for birthday and almost had a heart attack when I saw the prices on all of the items. I was so happy I was able to convince her to settle for a keychain which was still $15. I'm all about supporting businesses but would def recommend going online for hello kitty products. Customer service wasn't bad. They didn't greet us but were amazing to my daughter when they found it was her birthday. Best part of the visit!

I've seen some people win more, but you're also paying for the fun and experience the kids are having. Some of the machines can be a little tricky, but once you get the hang of them, your chances of winning definitely improve. The staff member working that day was incredibly kind to my kids and very pleasant to talk with. I can't wait to go again!

The treasure? Kawaii Klaws, a neon-lit claw machine paradise. Now, as a self-proclaimed foodie, I came for dumplings. But suddenly I'm evaluating joystick technique and plushie-grabbing strategy like it's a Michelin sport. It's actually a super fun arcade spot... bright, cute, and dangerously addictive. Honestly, if the twins had been there, we'd need an extra suitcase just for the prizes. Great vibes, solid hangout energy, and only mildly distracting when you're supposed to be on a serious food mission.

Though, speaking of Labubus, you can get them here as well. You definitely can get Funko Pops here and there's deals on them too. A good number of Squishmallows and some blind boxes for sale too. There's also some TCG and other figures and collectibles. Despite the inward cringe that I feel, the staff's super welcoming and helpful if you do have questions. It looks like some people have not had a good experience here with the quality and inconsistency of pricing, so double check with online sources and know the value of the items that you're collecting (but that goes with everything to be honest).

If you are a collector, specially those Pop Mart's rare collections, mostly you will find it here. Just make sure get them as soon as you see them because they are gone easily.
