I went here to get more stationery. I got the Dong-A scented gel pens, some erasers, and a limited edition Kuru toga pencil. I'm glad that this place has the Dong-A Miffy scented gel pens because the 10 colors from Jetpens has been discontinued. This place even has several erasers from stationery companies. I saw those erasers from a Korean youtube video from years ago. I also saw that this place sells some calenders and notebooks that remind me of the Kokuyo soft ring notebooks. It's honestly so cool to see something like that. read more

We usually stop by here before we hit up our the restaurants in Garden Grove. We can for school supplies and the kids walked away with a lot of unique pencils/pens, pencil cases, to notebooks. The Korean man is nice and friendly. This is one of the places we visit when we come down south. read more

A cute stationary, plushies, collectibles, & all around shop that's been around ever since I've been a kid. Good for the quick gift, but a bit annoyance of my part is some of the fake blind boxes that are sealed or resealed. Comparing them with the actual boxes & packaging from the website, it's definitely different & while close, they're not real. When you're selling products that mimic authentic collectibles & people are spending their hard earned money on products, they should know what they're buying. read more

DO NOT BUY SONNY ANGELS HERE‼THEY ARE FAKE‼ the first time i went into this store, the older man COULDN'T STOP STARING AT ME‼ i felt so uncomfortable. he was staring at my every move even when i was just looking around. i had a suspicion the sonny angels were fake because the display ones looked wonky. i left a few minutes later because i felt so uncomfortable. i was around the area and decided to stop by to give it another chance. it was the same older man who was working. he was still staring again. i decided to purchase a sonny angel that i thought was real because there was no display and the box didn't look weird. when i opened it, the face was weird and didn't look real sadly. i would not come here again. read more

Cute stationary store. I love supporting small businesses. The cashier/ owner is very friendly and takes care of wrapping your items.

If I can give this store 0 stars I would, he was rude. "Can you hurry up, I want to close" the old man clearly doesn't want business read more

DO NOT BUY SONNY ANGELS OR ANY BLIND BOXES FROM THIS BUSINESS. My family bought 2 Sonny angels for $16/each and gifted it to the kids for Christmas only to find out when the kids opened their gifts, the figurines were FAKE. It was not disclosed these were counterfeit products. Avoid at all cost. This business should be reprimanded for selling fake products. read more

Morning Glory - Fake Sonny angel - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Really cute Korean stationary store next to Kaju Tofu and Paris Baguette. They have an outstanding selection of pens and mechanical pencils. One noteworthy item is that they carry greeting cards in Korean and ones with cutouts of traditional Korean women's costumes. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE FOR LABUBU OR SONNY ANGELS! Fake fake! I've bought two LABUBU from this place and for some reason the boxes were resealed with the scotch tape. Strange! The lady was super rude and stayed on the phone the whole time when we were shopping. When we opened the LABUBU box the face was bleeding from the cheap paint from the toy's cheeks. One leg was forward and the other leg was doing the splits. His arms were uneven as well. I asked her if this was fake and she didn't answer me. She said that's what we sell at the store all the time. My daughter started to cry when she saw how fake the item was. I asked her for the refund and she flat out said no. I didn't want to go home with Chuck E look alike. So I asked her if I can open another box to see if the paint is not bleeding from the face. After 15mins of my daughter crying then she said just take it with a mean face. Never come back here again! read more

Do not be fooled by all the cute items. (Most of the collectibles are fake!) I had a terrible experience here due to being ripped off. I only stopped by this shop because I was waiting for my dinner reservation nearby. I had bought a cute desk lamp, but I didn't notice that it was missing from the box until I got home. I had tried to contact the seller, but he ignored my calls. Please do not buy anything here. 여기서 아무것도 사지 마세요!!! SCAMMERS! read more

The Korean man in this store is dishonest. We bought a pair of socks and a key chain and the total bill was $16 something. And my little cousin who is 7 years old gave him $20, but I realized I had $1 and some coins. I told him to return $5. However, he just returned 1 cent for me. Because at that time there were others customers who went inside the store, we didn't want to bother him and didn't focus on the money. That is so bad and dishonest. Also, the store sold very expensive and if we ordered online, we will have those things so cheap. read more

BIG inner child moment being back here. When I was younger, I would carefully save up and even more carefully choose what I wanted from morning glory because there were just so many cute things. NOW as an adult, it's been so fun coming back to not only buy things for myself but also for birthday gifts and whatnot! Soo many cute stationary pieces, plushies, etc to choose from. Prices aren't too steep imo and the older gentleman (I think he is the owner?) is always friendly and engages in small talk (albeit in korean...) Def worth a visit! read more

Fake Smiskis sold here! Bought a work series and should have known it was fake by the shrink wrapped boxes and printing on the exterior. Opened it up, and the figures have distinct differences from actual smiski I've purchased in Japan (packaging, finish, quality, etc.) read more

Morning Glory - fake smiskis (real ones don't have a shiny finish) - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Garden Grove, California

A cute place with a variety of cute stationery ! I go here occasionally to buy gifts and stationery and it's always filled with cute things. However it is a little pricey. I've seen negative reviews about the old gentleman working there, but I haven't had a bad experience. read more

Had a horrible experience here. The Korean man who works here is extremely rude and seems sexist. I was so disgusted I left immediately and didn't even get a chance to shop around. Would never come back! read more

Rude .... Service I bought something because im a nice guy Even when the man was rude and odd He asked dumb questions and told me to go home 5 minutes in. Sad man read more

Morning Glory - I don't know why i still bought this??? Store clerk was really rude. Inpatient.. .he asked me stupid questions He said, go home. Sad man. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Cute selection for Korean stationary store and gifts. A bit pricey compared to Miniso or Daiso. I think limited return policy.

I have been shopping at morning glory for the past 5 years as it's one of the only local korean stationary stores here! The older man who works there has always been polite, patient, and goes above and beyond most of the time with packaging or even staying open a little later if I arrived close to closing. I'm not sure what people are saying about "racist" or "sexist" experiences. I've never once thought that to be the case when visiting, and I've been here with multiple different people of different ethnicities on several occasions. The selection of keychains, notebooks, etc. here is always the best!! I will continue to support this kind small business! read more

sold fake pokemon cards here and the lady was rude, i def would not recommend going to this place

this place has lots of stationery and plushies but they're rlly pricey! personally, I wouldn't go here often because I can get the same things here somewhere else for cheaper. I haven't had any bad encounters with the employee despite other people's reviews. read more

I have been going here for a couple years and while they don't always have the most up-to-date collection, they still have a decent amount of cute stationery items. Their stickers are expensive, but I find their notebooks and letter sets are reasonably priced (be sure to check since they're not all priced the same due to brand/style/etc). Some of their pens/pencils are reasonably priced, but others are a tad bit pricey for the sake of cutesy novelty/name bran. I used to buy the slime toys for students; since I live nearby, it saves me a trip to Target and/or the cost of shipping. They're cheaper and cuter than the typical slime you get at other stores. The cashier (usually an older man or an older woman--more often I see the older man) has always been nice and haven't hassled me despite the fact I take forever to decide to buy one thing which I appreciate. One time I had trouble trying to see if a notebook was lined or not but didn't what to open up the wrapper, but he let me open it to check. Additionally, the next time I came in (about a month later), he let me know which one was lined or not. Maybe he tells people that randomly but I suspect it's because he remembers me, which is nice. Only knocking one star off because not all of the products are the trendiest or the highest quality, but I still think they're very cute. It's more of a 4.5/5 than a 4/5. read more

The things over at morning glory was alright. But they are extremely overpriced. 30 dollars for a bag, 17 dollars for a sharpener, and a soju bottle keychain for 6 dollars. The service wasn't great what so ever. The man working there told me to stop doing things like stop touching something. I wouldn't recommend coming here read more

The service here is always marred with a touch of racism but they have really cute stuff.

So I went here looking for a some stationaries. I felt uncomfortable been called to not open things when I was just looking at the items and to not use the pens when I wanted to see the quality. I feel truly uncomfortable when the cashier kept looking at me and only me. I only wanted to see stationaries!!! Things were a bit pricey but it's okay. read more

so so so cute very expensive !!! $$$$ make sure to ask for a receipt and double check the price calculations first experience and i bought two things which are $29 and he charged me $46 total and i didnt pay attention until i looked at the receipt! lol read more

I haven't been here for a looong time. It was a throwback to my 5th grade days when I'd spend hours in cute stationary shops after school. Anyway, they had a cute selection of plushies, stickers, postcards, pens, and more. I ended up picking up a charmander that looked a lot like ditto HAHA and a couple cute stickers of cat cookies. The owners are an elderly Korean couple, and I think purchasing from here is a great way to support small businesses! read more

I kid you not, I LIVED at morning glory as a child. When I used to live in the 626, I went all the time. When I moved to the OC, I spent practically every day after elementary school window shopping at the Buena Park location. I would go as often as I could and take note of all the $1.50 gel pens and cute character led pencils I wanted by the time my birthday and Christmas rolled around. Whenever I went to the mall I hated Sanrio because hello kitty had nothing on my beloved Pucca and Hamtaro LOL. Fast forward 23 years... I was hit with such a rush of nostalgia walking in here! It was my first time at this specific location. Service from the man whom I presume to be the owner was so sweet -he was encouraging me to swatch/sample all the pens I wanted. I would be holding one just to feel the type of grip it had and he'd remind me it was ok to test it on paper. And when I was browsing the plastic wrapped notebooks and planners, he also said it was ok to take them out of the wrapping to see the inside before buying. So sweet :) There are signs as well stating it is ok to do this so he did not necessarily need to let me know, but it's a kind gesture. Basically, nothing in this store ever changes. The little girl in me was so happy :') It's a great store for young children to get affordable, attractive stationery such as pen and paper, something children these days are unfortunately less & less interested in thanks to iPads and iPhones...so bring your children here!!! Let them love to read, write, and draw. This store will encourage them to. Gosh, I miss being 8. read more

Morning Glory - A few high quality pens, some lower, but so affordable!! All this for $11. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Garden Grove, California

too over priced better priced shops nothings to special/different from other cutsie shops just that they have ok socks they do have a good variety of cute sanrio bags and if ur looking for a massive plush they have them there but obviously expensive read more

Dishonest people. My girlfriend is a regular here and buys most of the hello kitties. We have noticed they have been raising the prices on the hello kitties after she mentioned she would come back to purchase more. I told her that was silly of her to do so since they would surely raise the price and take advantage of her. She didn't believe me, so I took photos of all the prices of the large hello kitties and sure enough the week after they raised the price on them by $20. I advised her not to come back here again if their business practice is to take advantage of their regular customers. read more

the old man that runs the store is so sweet and cute! They have various supplies that keeps me in there for at least 30 minutes. I just think this store totally fits the theme of an additional hobby/toy shop in Korean town of Little Saigon and is handy for students to get their cute school supplies and gifts for anyone who likes merchandise like this. It's much more convenient me to come into this store than to go to the Asian Garden Mall to look at cute things. read more

Surprise Morning Glory is still around but I'm so glad it was because I got to take my daughter. Brought back lots of old memories. The person at the front was nice. Will definitely come back for more pens!! read more

This is my go to place for affordable letter pads and sets. I was able to touch the items for further examination without judgement (probably because I was purchasing many items). Fortunately, I have not experienced rude customer services from the many years I've been here. Most items are reasonable priced for stationary items but I wouldn't buy other things (e.g. plushies, car accessories) outside of that. read more

I went to morning glory to get cute dolls to put inside my car. I was looking for key chains too for my car keys, but the store did not have what I was looking for. There are little fluffy animal key chains and small cell phone accessories, but no regular sized trinket that works for my car key. The store sells korean cute and fancy pencils, pens dolls, notepads, notebooks, small accessories and toys. It's a little gift shop that has all kinds of cute things that typical girls would like. I especially liked the little unicorn dolls. I got two of them for my car, but they were not cheap. So I guess my negative point would be the price. Other than that, it's a great place to visit to buy small gifts for people on special occations. read more

Great service! The owner here is so friendly, and they always have everything look cute. The quality of the school supply here is excellent too. I think their quality matches its price. I recommend you guys coming here to buy the school supply and to support local businesses. read more

Came here looking for some cute Asian import goodies for my daughter while I was in LA visiting friends and family. She loves going to Maido in Santana Row in San Jose and I was looking for a shop with similar service, selection and quality. Seen the decent reviews, so I stopped hoping it was an Orange County Maido. NOT. Mostly cheap imports. Poor customer service. Entered store. Saleswoman came out from back and said "hello" with no smile or attempt at serving me. I kept looking for something of quality or decent cuteness. NOT. After looking for about 15 minutes, saleswoman asks "Can I help you!!??". Hhhhhmmmm...I don't think the saleswoman had her morning dose of "morning glory". In the end I did buy something that had some element of Asian cuteness, couldn't head back home without getting something for my cute daughter. read more

The owner here is soooo nice! I recommend coming here to buy from and support local businesses!

Man behind the counter was extremely rude to my Son. Placed one item on counter to purchase for my daughter and was looking for something for my son who is on the spectrum. He was touching items packaged in plastic already and worker behind counter barking at us to not touch the items. Explained if anything breaks, I'll purchase it. Still barking about touching the pens now. Explained a 2nd time we are going to purchase, but just barking about how the pens will break or something. Never encountered such an ignorant person. Will never go back to here. read more

Before I go into this review, let me summarize by saying I love this place, but it does have some communication problems. First half of this will be positive and the last bit, I'll talk about the minor stuff that may have bothered me. Sweet nostalgia is the first feeling that takes place when I walk into morning glory :). Memories of middle school days, when everything was simple make this place sentimental for me! An abundant selection of cute stationary, it's a mom and pop shop as well and always has been. I admire the sweet lady and man who run the store and it has a great selection! However, I do think the male store owner can be a little abrasive. He keeps an eye on any one and every one who walks in the store, so don't be worried about racial profiling. I think it's because of how easy it can be to steal from a shop with such tiny products like pencils/pens, so they are making sure the merchandise is not being taken. Being extra cautionary is reasonable to me, but I also see how people who have never visited can be uncomfortable. They also have a very strict no drink/no food policy - not even water is allowed inside. I understand because of what a mess it can create if an accident were to occur. The thing is though, the man may yell at you. I carried water in before because I thought water would be an exception, but he told me no drink/no food. I asked "even water?", he said yes and I was happy to comply - I then asked if I could set my drink down on the counter by the register while I look around so that I don't cause an accident, he said I cannot leave it there and told me to leave it outside. He motioned at me to leave and I ended up just leaving my water right in front of the store window before coming in to purchase items. I respect the policy, but I do feel that giving an angry look and slightly yelling at customers is not the best way to handle the situation... a simple explanation with a normal tone that there can be no drinks or food inside, with no exceptions at all would have sufficed. I have been here enough times to know that the owners are very nice people at heart, but I was disappointed in the way the man did not want to communicate with respect towards people. Not everyone will know the rule when they first come and not everyone will take yelling as well as I did. I have seen a previous review complaining about this as well. Personally, I'm not too sensitive about what happened and I will keep coming here. However, I can see how one negative experience can make others not want to return. Therefore, I hope that they can find a way to inform customers respectfully on why they have an uncompromising policy. read more

I miss the one in Irvine so much. It brings back fond memories of going there and getting cute stationary after karate class and then making my friends jealous at school the next day. I have been going there since I was in first grade and I was really sad that it shut down a few years back. I am hoping they open up one in Irvine again. I don't care if I am 24 years old, I still will bring cute stationary to work! This place was always so affordable even as a kid. read more

The employees were rude and took advantage of me. The stuff can be overpriced. They don't do returns, just exchanges.
