Cute Miniso store at the Irvine Spectrum. My niece wanted to check this store out so we stepped inside to look around. It's smaller than most but it's very clean and well-organized. But it carries mostly stuff for kids. read more

Miniso is a wonderful place to shop for cute knickknacks and household items, such as Hello Kitty tote bags or Pooh Bear silverware and My Melody slippers. Don't be confused by their Japanese inspired items - Miniso is actually owned by a Chinese company, and because of this, some of their things are cheaper than similar Hello Kitty items you may find at Sanrio. The best time to shop at Miniso is when they have sales or clearance items. They mark down their prices by a lot! Miniso can now be found at most malls and shopping centers in our area. However, I feel the entrance and layout of the Irvine store is a bit different than the other locations I've visited. Upon walking in, the aisles are very narrow. It is not easy to get inside or exit out of the store if there's people standing in the front. The store itself is very clean and organized. The staff didn't really acknowledge any of the customers - they all just looked bored. Surprisingly, my daughter did not find anything that she liked and we thankfully walked out empty handed. :) read more

This miniso location is spacious and well stocked with so many cute things that I don't need but I want. It's so hard to not get tempted to buy the whole store! Staff is always courteous and the store is clean. It's a must stop when I come to the Spectrum. read more

I bought a Hello Kitty sunscreen. They seem to have more Sanrio beauty options than another location I've been to which is great! My sister got a good number of items, but when we got to the register they informed us that they were all out of bags. I'm pretty sure they charge for them, and if they do we would have still purchased one since we had a lot of stuff so that was a shame that they were out. But I appreciate that we were given the heads up at the beginning of the transaction, and hopefully in the future whoever is in charge of bags will be more on top of it so they don't run out. The employee also made sure to apply my points, which I appreciate because any discount helps! Overall I had a good experience and I would go back to this location again. read more

Miniso at Irvine Spectrum is one of the larger locations I've visited, and it's well-organized with a neat layout. The store has a self-checkout kiosk, which makes the shopping experience efficient, and the staff was friendly and helpful. There's a huge selection of Chiikawa merchandise, which seems to be a highlight here. I was pleasantly surprised to see BT21 merch on sale--an RJ cap for only $8 and a lunch box with two compartments for $10. Given how pricey BT21 items usually are, this was a great find for BTS fans. Beyond that, they currently have a variety of licensed merchandise, including Harry Potter and Powerpuff Girls items. It's always fun to browse Miniso for cute and affordable finds, and this location is definitely worth a visit. read more

I love this spot! They have really cute hair baby pink colored hair brushes. The characters are cute. I have a Hello Kitty and a Melody one. It's a small store, but it is packed with a ton of different things. They also have a nice little snack collection. The cashiers are very fast.. the line may look long at times, especially on weekends, but it goes by very quickly. read more

I have mixed feelings about Miniso. On one hand, they have super cute items, including popular character branded items like Pokemon, Harry Potter, etc. On the other, they advertise themselves as affordable when I really don't think they are. For example, we saw a tiny blind box that cost $14! We've been to a lot of similar stores and that price seems average to high. Nonetheless, we did find some unique Kirby items here that I haven't seen at other places. Overall, this is a fun place to browse, but you might be better off just looking and not buying. Their return policy is also pretty bad, as I noticed you only have a week to return and you have to return at the same location you originally purchased at, which is odd considering I've seen locations all over OC. read more

A lovely MINISO in Irvine Spectrum Center. It was going through renovation so a lot of products are missing. The blind box display was quite empty. I went for the 3D toy product and fortunately or unfortunately they only have ONE item left! Maybe it might be a lot better when they finished the renovation. read more

This is a cute store where you can find great gifts for kids. The prices are affordable, and the quality is excellent. Overall, I highly recommend this store! read more

Miniso - Spectrum - Accessories Near Me - Irvine, California

I went to Miniso to look around for fun, affordable gifts for me, my best friend, and her Mom. Why the rating for the particular Miniso my review is about is so low confounds me. Their employees greeted me, and I took my time looking at Lilo and Stitch goodies, as all of us are L&S fans. Sanrio Hello Kitty stickers and a plethora of Sanrio doodads were also available, I bought L&S socks for me, my best friend and her Mom. I also bought a purple Pokemon Go collectible tin containing PoGo trading cards. When I went to the register, the employee informed me about more PoGo merchandise which would be in store later on in the day. Knowledge given about toys and collectibles I might want to buy is certainly useful. When she rang up my purchases, I bought the store bag for 20 cents because I didn't bring my own. The bag is made of paper and its red color with the store name printed in white makes it look unique. My theory about the low rating is people may be comparing this store to the one at Irvine Spectrum. Although that particular store has a lot more square footage and many more goodies, I felt there was very little personal space between me and their huge number of customers. The Shops at Mission Viejo location has a more relaxed vibe, some of the same goods as the Spectrum, and I feel I have more personal space there. 4 stars and I will return. My best friend and her Mom love the Lilo and Stitch socks. I'm liking my Pokemon Go collectible. read more

The official Miniso TikTok account is constantly posting from this specific Miniso so I was under the impression that it's probably the best Miniso out there. I was overwhelmed, but I wasn't wrong! This Miniso is super crowded, Irvine Spectrum already has a ton of people so it's no surprise that Miniso would be full of people. It's also very big, but I would say it's about the same size as the Miniso in Del Amo Fashion Center. However, this location seems to get other items before other Miniso's do. I've never seen Heroine makeup or hair accessories at any other Miniso I have gone to. This Miniso also carried Smiskis when I went! The employees are nice and very patient. My mom held up the line a bit because she couldn't decide which travel utensils she wanted, and the employee made a suggestion that helped us! I would definitely come again but definitely during a time where it's not so busy. There's tons more things that this Miniso has to offer, but it was hard with the big crowd and how hot the store got. read more

I had been waiting to come back to Miniso for a long time. Like others said, Miniso can be a hit or miss. This time it was a hit. This store finally started carrying the Sanrio collection that I've been eyeing for years. I couldn't believe my eyes. I bought Sanrio magnets, surprise squishies, and keychains as souvenirs to bring back home. There was other stuff too, but it didn't seem practical to buy. There was some Toy Story merchandise too leftover from previous seasons. I bought some green alien keychains (way cheaper than buying it at Disneyland). I spent about $100.00 at Miniso. It's easy to do that because the merch is so cute. read more

Miniso - Accessories Near Me - Irvine, California

This place is not for people who are claustrophobic. The entrance is a fire hazard! One way in and one way out but it's super narrow. It is organized and they do have a good selection of cute things. They make it so that it's by company or character. However, they don't have as much as the garden grove location. The workers are also not very helpful and don't look like they want to be there. Prices vary and can get really expensive. Feel like they've raised prices significantly from when they first opened. I honestly go cause my friend likes to buy things here and rarely get things for myself knowing that you can easily spend over $100 here. read more

OMG cuteness overload. I think my kiddo was going to fall over or spontaneously combust when she stepped foot in here. This is located at the Irvine Spectrum. Not sure if there is a nearest parking lot, but the Spectrum website suggests the theater parking. The nearest identifiable "mark" would be the Cheesecake Factory. I think a lot of people mistake Miniso to be a Japanese company, but it's actually Chinese owned. I believe it's inspired by the Japanese scenery and culture, so there are some Japanese products such as cosmetics and other nicknacks. This location is bigger than the one near UCI, so it seems to have more stuff. When we came here recently on a Friday, there were tons of Sanrio and Disney stuff. We controlled ourselves (and our wallets) and ended up just getting a few things, but took our time eliminating what we didn't need, as they are not cheap. Yes, comparatively cheaper than the merch at the actual Sanrio or Disney Store, but 3-4 inch stuffed Disney character key charm for $12.99, a Disney decorated hair clip for $9.99, a pair of socks with a dog printed on it for $9.99 (and it's just a generic dog)...we got 7 items that came out to $63.50 with tax. Oy vey. Oh, the prices on some items aren't clearly labeled so best to ask the staff before buying. There were 2 kiosks for self checkout and one staff at the counter. It would have been nice to have a designated or signed area where customers can line up (unless I just didn't see it). The aisles were kind of narrow for a 2-lane traffic (hard to pass by when someone else is already in the aisle) so we had to walk around the occupied aisles to get to the last group standing in line. Overall, a fun store to explore and find adorable stuff that you don't really need, but great if you have extra money to spend lol. read more

This store is either a hit or miss. Sometimes I'll actually buy things, and other times I feel like I don't want to get anything cuz it's just added to my junk at home. But I actually found something I needed, a cell phone holder for my car. There were several to chose from and luckily the one I got was so simple and it's actually perfect. So perfect that I actually need to go back and get a couple more so I can get one for my bf and my mom actually. I hope they have it at other locations since this one isn't so convenient for me. read more

Birthday blind boxes offer was denied here, even if $25 or less. Seems they're only valid on overstock, unwanted ones.

There is a wide selection. The staff are nice, everything's reasonable price. it's good

Loved the products, what baffles me is not one employee was anywhere to be found. We spent about 30 min in there looking and not a single person works there. We did self checkout but even then no one was there to assist. Seemed super strange. Also seemed it would be super easy to steal given no one actually works there. Good thing we're honest people. read more

WARNING: This store is a serious cute overload! It's packed wall to wall with adorableness! There's a ton of stuffed animals, and a bunch of cute and cool stuff like stress balls, steam eye masks, cosmetics, snacks, and more! It's like Daiso on steroids, with way better stuff! I went the day before New Year's Eve and it was PACKED. I mean packed like you had to maneuver around people. Just a testament to how great this store is! read more

I would not recommend shopping here. One Chinese chain store is selling low-quality products with a horrible return policy. The return policy, which requires returning items to the original store within 7 days, is the worst policy I have ever heard of from a chain store. read more

Shop with such a selection of cute items. Bit pricey for the quality of some of the items tho. They have a mascot that resembles Sanrio's Tuxedo Sam but not as cute. And the only service we got was when we got to the cashier. Which at least she was nice. read more

They have a little self check out at the front by the regular checkouts. Super easy and quick when you only have a few items! The stock of course varies, due to popularity, but they almost always have something that is sanrio or Disney. Nice store, decent sized place and in a good location in the plaza. Nobody greets you usually but they're almost always doing something like stocking or fixing stuff around the store. read more

I've never heard of Miniso until I stumbled upon them at the Irvine Spectrum. It's a cute little store with plenty of stuffed animals/squish mellow type, small trinkets, toys, food home supplies and majority personal supplies. The prices were ok to what I felt was over priced. I think if this was me in my younger days I'd be happy and excited with all the little gadgets regardless of the price...but fast forward to today and I'm looking at some of the items in the store and cannot see myself buying as something's just seem flimsy and likely to break after a couple of uses. Nonetheless, I see the store to be flooded with a younger generation of patrons purchasing their items. Not a place I'd ever "need" to go back to. read more

On the fence about this store. Sanrio knows how to attract its customers with cute colors and their cute characters. This store carries variety of items not all are that good quality items and very cheap when you think they are good. I got buckets that I thought were good plastic and broke, slippers that didn't last a week. A car washer on a stick and the sponge broke off midway of washing on the first use. That explains no refund or exchanges because they know their shit is bad!! The employees there are really nice though. read more

Like many other Miniso stores they had a cute collection of random items that could work for pretty much anyone. I personally didn't find as much as I had wished to but I did grab some great little patch pins for my Jean jacket. The store has a weird process for lining up with its markers on the floor in a weird pattern and it seemed a bit awkward for social distancing. The staff was nice and the handled the line quickly. I wish the little Kewpie dolls in the glass case was still available for purchase, they were super cute. Oh well maybe next time. read more

My daughter loved this store for the little bit of Sanrio items that they did have. She got a really cool organizer container for super cheap for her to put her Hello Kitty stuff in. She also got a few anime items as well. I was hoping for more Sanrio, but they had a lot of other stuff here as well and I know it can't all be Sanrio. They also had a lot of blind bags, and as we all know, those are a hit with the kids. We will be sure to stop by anytime we are at the Spectrum! read more

Been here several times. The last time around March, there was a security guard inside the store. Totally understandable since so many people walk in and out of here BUT once we were ready to check out, he pointed at self check out and I walked over there. I began to scan my purchases and he took the items and scanned them himself, looked helpful at first but he oddly rushed me along. Asked me if I wanted to buy a bag and then told me to pay. Something really odd about the whole interaction because it wasn't necessary. He just stood over my kids and I. If he was suspicious about something then sure but he didn't have to touch our items or even help us. We're here often. Really weird. read more

Fun to browse, but everything is overpriced. They're Daiso quality items, but at 10x the price- I don't get it. Also, at this particular location, I noticed that there was a dude that was standing in the front that looked like he was a part of MIB. Sunglasses and a full black suit LOL. I get that they want to provide 'security', but you also want to make customers feel welcomed- that dude wasn't it. read more

LOVE THE SERVICE HERE!!! The workers always have amazing attitudes, the best customer service. I understand why people may be intimidated with the store, but it is huge! It is bigger than any Miniso I have been to. I was helped by two girls, one with red hair and the other with black hair, both were super helpful with picking a gift for my boyfriend who is obsessed with harry potter! They were super sweet and I will look forward to come back and enjoy the store again!! read more

Update this place. It is not open. Might be covid related, who knows since they don't have any signs or notices anywhere. Store is fully stocked but is gated closed...so..waste of space and stuff. Yes I'm salty it's closed, this place apparently has some good stuff but all I could so is window shop. Sad since I went to this mall solely to check this store out. Whoever in charge of this store or this Yelp page, please mark it as closed and put a notice on the door, or have your voicemail say your closed so people aren't hopefully thinking that you guys just went on lunch or something. read more

Dangerous. I spent money on these watermelon pillows and I did not even need them. Why is everything so cute here? I don't have much to say about this location except that it's big, always clean, has way more staff than customers and smells good. Yes, it smells clean and I'm into that! Also, it's just a nice store to walk around in and look at cute stuff. read more

Bigger selection than the other location in OC. We went sunday 8/6 and even though it was extremely busy, it was organized and controlled. My go to spot for cute Sanrio items that aren't price gouging. The gentleman working the 5pm shift was super nice and welcoming as well. read more

staff is friendly, store is clean, variety of options, prices are expensive, selection for young and older.

Bought 3 items, go home(an hour away) looked at receipt & realized I was charged for for 4 items. I thought it was extremely high but since there is barely any prices on anything I just assumed that's what it was. Tried multiple times to call the number listed on yelp and it goes to some theater company. Extremely frustrating hopefully that wasn't intentional. Disappointing. read more

pros...nice place to get all your "we bare bears" stuff if you like them. I am a fan and only found this place cause it looked like a daiso. Wandered in and found so many cool things in here. You can find a lot of household storage, lunch boxes other organizational things. But the main reason I like it is because they carry Ice bear. All kidding aside, it's a nice place, and also dog friendly. Well if you have a friendly dog that is. They allow dogs inside and it's so nice and refreshing to see a place like this. cons...I agree with T.A N. almost 98% of the products they sell are made in China. I think I found something that was made in Vietnam, but it wasn't something that I needed. I'm personally not buying things made in China, just my small part to boycott their products. So I had to skip on nearly everything here, sadly. read more
