    Support your local business! They have fair prices from what I've seen. I would say they're pretty competitive. Service 5/5 The staff member was super nice and friendly. He showed us a sample Boris plush when we were looking at the Miffy blind boxes. Selection 5/5 So many different brands to choose from. I'm just happy they had the Miffy ones I like. My friend ended up purchasing one!

    Super cute!!! I've been to a lot of blind box stores, and the value here is really great. Some figures are even cheaper than I've seen online, and there's a really good selection

    The store was well lit and had an excellent selection of blind boxes, they have a lot of chiikawa and miffy stuff which I was happy to see. The cashier was very friendly and chatted with us about the miffy selection at the counter. The prices were reasonable as well, overall very pleased with the location!

    Cute selection of Japanese toys. Lots of Sanrio toys and blindboxes. Definitely worth a stop if you're at the mall and love cute things!

    I know this location only opened like 1-2 months ago…read more This is only a comparison to the one in the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia. The selection is a lot bigger. The books in the front are more with pop culture and famous books that maybe considered for the "coffee table" books. Also in the front , are the stationary items, cute Knick-knacks and some blind boxes. The Japanese light novels & manga section was larger vs the Arcadia location. Plus there was surplus amount of certain mangas that are currently popular to ensure enough is in stock. In general, I find these books very decently priced. I have , in the past, asked them for a particular book if they have in stock, they'll check to see if they have it or not or will direct me to where it is in the store.

    My favorite Kinokuniya due to the amount of books packed in such a tiny store, it's always clean…read moreand never feels messy despite having so much selection to look through and choose from. They always have a ton of pens imported from Japan and they even have the little sticker tag on the pen itself in Japanese. Huge fan of the Uniball Zento Pens as I draw from time to time. I know it's great to support local stores, but I do wish they were a bit more competitive with pricing, if a book is only 10% more expensive here and I'm in the area, sure I'll buy it at Kinokuniya, but when the same exact book brand new is 40% cheaper on Amazon, I can't justify the purchase. It would be cool if membership allowed for price matching. Overall, this is probably the best Japanese book/manga shop you can find aside from the Book Off in Gardena.

I normally place them on my fridge or magnetic white board. It's a charming gift shop with lots of knick knacks that a good gift shop should have. This is a good place to peruse around! Tons of merchandise for sale such as tea cups, mugs, children books and toys, gardening supplies, kitchen attire, clothing and accessories, head attire and jewelry, and so much more. It's a very clean and organized shop. I can spend the whole afternoon or even the whole day here. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Thank you! I did pick up some souvenirs during my last visit. And yes, one of them was a magnet LOL. I'll have to drop by again to see what new items they may have to enlighten my future visits. I have photos someplace. When I find them, I will post them. You know I will. Until then, drop on by this quaint gift shop and be immersed in its charm.

The jewelry is handcrafted, and many pieces include the artist's name and a short bio, which adds such a personal touch. They also carry candles, bags, greeting cards, and products for men, women, and children. The variety is impressive, and I especially appreciated the large selection of handcrafted items. The associates are friendly, welcoming, and genuine. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and I noticed they recognized and acknowledged repeat customers. That's impressive, especially considering the number of tourists who visit the store. Another thing I appreciated is that they don't overwhelm you with emails. Their emails are event-focused and purposeful, which is refreshing. You're paying for quality, craftsmanship, and unique items you won't find just anywhere. The prices reflect the specialty merchandise they carry and the care that goes into selecting it. Parking... well, it's Pasadena! It can be challenging, with mostly metered street parking and paid parking garages nearby, but it's a pleasant walk to the store. I highly recommend Homage! It's a wonderful place to find unique gifts or treat yourself to something special.
