Best store in lil tokyo I am coming back to drop major cash we love it can't get enough

This store is so cute!!! I loved how there were so many different things to look at, especially the blind boxes and cute figures. The store is pretty small, but it makes it feel packed with stuff to discover. It's definitely the kind of place where you can go in just to look around and still end up wanting to buy something. I also think it's a fun place to visit while walking around Little Tokyo, especially if you like Japanese characters and cute collectibles. read more

I love love LOVEEE Monkey Pants!! I come here all the time for Monchichis, Smiskis, and Sonny Angels! They have the best prices in the Village, and people complaining about prices clearly haven't looked around enough lol. I also love coming when Kat is working because she lets me shake the Sonnys and she's sooo good at guessing them! Their trade system is also amazing and makes me feel better knowing I'm not getting fakes. PLEASE visit if you're ever in the area!! read more

My wife and I have been patrons of this store for over a decade, and now that we have daughters we bring them here to share our love of authentic Japanese culture and collectibles! We travel to Little Tokyo from SD multiple times a year and Monkey Pants is a must stop. Friendly and accommodating staff (and accommodating with kids which is a huge deal!) and great selection! Still have all my stickers and collectibles to this day! read more

Great service and kind hearted staff working!! As well as good ac! Really good selection of mystery boxes and good prices. Would come again!

All the things in here are soooo cute. Unique gifts and goodies. Love the decorations and dolls. Staff is great. Small little shop for gifts and goodies if you want to treat yourself. Price ranges from 9.00 pens to 16.00 for a unique keychain. I'm sure it's worth it because of the uniqueness. Not everyone will have the same thing you buy. read more

I'm not really into monkey pants anymore as I found quite a few of their products online on some alternate realtors, a.k.a. aliexpress. However, I have had some positive experiences with one employee in particular. I believe her name is Nick. she went out of her way to help me get some monchicis I had my eye on. -2 stars for knock off inventory, I didn't expect that from a store that's so pricey. Parking is limited but there are a few lots in the area. They do not validate parking. read more

very nice staff and great selection. their prices tend to be a bit higher than some other spots but it's nice to support a small business.

Came here during a busy Friday. As always, the store was jam-packed. So many people inside and was very crowded. Not enough space. Store too small to house little knickknacks. Anyway, just by looking at the store and items, everything was extremely expensive. I think a lot of items are way overpriced when you can get a lot of these items online. I know the tariffs are bad for business owners right now so they maybe they are tacking on their fees onto the products. If that's the case, you can just buy these things yourself online. If you don't like to wait and don't like shipping fees, buy them here if you want to pay QUADRUPLE. Very cute items and rare items though. read more

this is the cutest store in Little Tokyo! i'm definitely coming back for all my blind box needs. Kat and Jonathan were very helpful and i felt very welcome in the store. i also appreciate that they limit the number of customers in the store, it can get uncomfortable in crowded stores. i'm looking forward to their events in the future; they're a fun way to make new friends, and they support other businesses in the area. 5 stars! read more

Cutest little trinket shop with everything from Sanrio Sonny angels smiskis and Sanrio! The store is a bit small so when there's a lot of people they limit the people inside, which I have a love and hate relationship for because there are super long lines but the shopping experience is def better since there's more air and space to breathe and shop around! They have a loyalty program so enter your phone number to score some points! The line goes by fairly quickly so don't be intimidated if you see a super long line!! They sell official Sonny angels and smiskis, and are reasonably priced. The monchichi keychains were so cute and I've never seen them irl!! There's so much trinkets and plushes, keychains and all the cute things in this shop! First time seeing Smiski ball gashapons irl as well and snagged one ball, wish I got another bc I came back next day and they were sold out! read more

This is a very tiny shop and they sometimes limit the crowd allowed in; however, the service is quick and people usually know what they want to get. There are a lot of selections for other collectibles but they didn't have much for Sonny Angel. They also have it behind the counter and the cashier chooses for you. I know it doesn't make a difference since it's a blind box but it's fun choosing your own box. Definitely recommend it! read more

The workers are so helpful & sweet. They helped me find good ideas for birthday gifts that my friends would be into. I can't wait to come back, & the price is definitely worth it. I love Little Tokyo & great spots like this. read more

Cute store with some cute trinkets! We stopped by on Saturday and we waited outside for a few minutes until we could be let in. Its a small space so they only let a certain amount of people in at a time. Prices are reasonable and they have a variety of plushies, pins, stickers, cards, and toys. The worker was friendly as she welcomed us in and thanked us for stopping by as we left. read more

This spot is so cool!!! My sister and I look forward to visiting every couple of months. Always a good time. If you're looking for monchichi, there are SO MANY cute related items. Prices are definitely fair too! read more

Great selection of cutesie blind boxes! The staff were super helpful and sweet. Highly recommend checking out if you're in Little Tokyo!

Tell me why I'm here in Lil Tokyo trynna walk into this store and one of the employees shaking ass in the entrance. I generally had to stop and asked them if they were open because i thought not! It smelled so bad like booty I had to leave . Btw yall do NOT need four employees working at once in a store this small. None of them doing their job anyways . read more

I like coming here for sonny angels and smiski's!! it's right in the heart of little tokyo and gets busy during the weekends so beware of the line to get inside bc it's a small store. the price is usually $16 for a sonny angel read more

Used to be one of my go-to stops, but rude, vitriolic staff ruined the experience for us.

It was really hot inside and the workers were not welcoming having a full on conversation about outside matters. They did not say welcome or anything and a guy worker was blocking the entrance by the cashier. The sonny angels and smiskis are an okay price around 16.50 but there are other places in la that are cheaper. They did have a good selection of items like Monchichi and Miffy etc.. The inside aesthetic was nice. read more

I was excited to come to this store because of the instagram reel they posted about Japanese exclusive Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families but they had a small selection of the regular ones you usually find at Barnes and Nobel, etc. :( Walked in and out of the store, definitely call ahead to make sure they have what you're looking for. read more

This store was very cute. They have everything from Hello Kitty to Monkeke. (Hard to find by the way) the prices were actually very good and reasonable considering the place is in the fancy part of the village. They have so much to choose from like keychains and plushies. They even had some nice calico critters and varsity jackets and Angel Blue. I really appreciate their hospitality, their organized layout and their fun music. The people that worked there were helpful and nice. The cashier did me a solid and took my payment even though they were closing out. They know how to treat their customers. Very lovely. read more

The best selection in Little Tokyo! Love coming to this place and always being assisted by staff. I would buy everything there if I could!! read more

Today I came in looking for a Mokeke monster as a gift for a friend. I found a couple small ones and purchased one. On my way out I noticed they had large ones hanging up on the wall and asked if I could exchange the small one for the larger one (and pay the difference obviously) and I was told I couldn't so i asked if I could return the small one and purchase the large instead and was denied of that as well. The employee pointed at a return policy which was way high up on the wall to the right of the register completely out of view. Im not sure if thats done deliberately but it doesn't seem like a productive way to run a business. Also the prices are ridiculously expensive. read more

Large selection of cute characters and trinkets. My daughter loved it here and the service was great. They only let in a certain amount of people at a time so that really helped a lot from being too packed. read more

I've been coming to this spot for years. Why on gods green everloving earth am I being asked to TIP on a TOY STORE PURCHASE? I obviously selected no tip because I was sure I was hallucinating and the extremely cool girl behind the counter rolled her eyes???? It used to be a lot harder finding the items here but now there are alternatives that don't require a tip. Nuts read more

Shopping in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, California... We were strolling along when I saw "Monkey Pants". What's that? I had to look inside the store... Because it had such an intriguing name... Ahhh... This shop is full of cute stuff! It's too bad that my luggage is full! But - when I saw Miffy (the bunny from The Netherlands), I had to get something... Haha! I had to focus and not get distracted by Totoro, My Melody, Monchhichi, etc. I just got one thing (for a gift) and left quickly! Maybe next time, I'll have more room in my luggage and will look around for a longer time... LOL! read more
