They also had a lot of traditional items/supplies for tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and kimonos. I had fun looking through all the items as it brought me back to our summer in Japan. Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's. Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for everything animal shaped and soo.... I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy.

    Maneki Neko is a Japanese specialty store (established in 2009) with three other locations in…read moreBurbank, Arcadia, and Brea. Maneki Neko also operates a sister concept store called CATCH Little Tokyo located on the third floor of Japanese Village Plaza. [Parking]: As long as there are no special events in Little Tokyo, the Aiso Parking Garage (101 Judge John Aiso St) is your best bet. [Selection]: The shop has transitioned from primarily selling traditional decor / ceramics / cosmetics (which the shop still carries but in a smaller section) to focusing mainly on plushies and blind boxes featuring IPs like Sanrio, Pokémon, and other Japanese anime. Even though an officially licensed Sanrio store is located next door, Maneki Neko still has an excellent selection of Sanrio items that you can't find at the next-door licensed Sanrio store. [Conclusion]: This is one of those shops where I can probably find a Sanrio plush that I am willing to buy as a gift. It is a perfect example of a thriving shop that has learned to adapt by keeping up with changing consumer tastes.

    One of the bigger Maneki Neko that I've been to and once in awhile they have super bargain sales…read morehere. I don't think anything can ever beat the old Arcadia location when I got super cheap and nice cosmetics for around $1 (think Missha and Majolica Marjorca, but this only happened when things reopened after the lock down), but you can still find some good deals here. Similar to the Arcadia location, there's a mix of legitimate items here and a couple questionable, potentially bootleg items, so make sure you check and read the labels and compare prices online and the such. I like how this location plays into the culture and touristy-ness of the Little Tokyo with the daruma statue photo op in front and the pressed penny machine. I'm a sucker for pressed pennies, so this was nice. I've gotten super cheap sword props for cosplay, cute super cheap random character plushies and merchandise (think generic cats), and in an ocean of blind box slop shops in LT, I prefer Maneki Neko in comparison.

The shop normally closes at 6 PM on Friday - Sunday, but the shop was still somehow open at 8 PM on Saturday while Damnoen Saduak (DS) Night Market was on in early August (the night market has since been permanently closed starting August 17th, 2026). [Parking]: Metered parking only with several paid parking lot options available in Chinatown. There are some free parking spots along Yale St. & College St. [Selection]: The shop offers various cute T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, hats, art prints, red envelopes, stickers (buy 5 stickers get the 6th free), magnets, keychains, canvas totes, etc. All designs are original and created by Chunky's artists. This is one of the few gift shops with a big design focus on Shohei and his dog Decoy. Customers can add a frame to any art print for $15. [Conclusion]: This is a very small gift shop with no AC so it can get stuffy here. Personally, I think this gift shop has some of the better one-of-a-kind Asian inspired designs that are out there and I can see myself coming back here to get their unique red envelopes or Shohei/Decoy gear if I need some.

Come here for super cute unique-like but very good quality clothing and art. Disclaimer: I came here at 11:05 only to be ignored and shut-out while they set the place up. But I came back because I needed a crop top for my new mom friend who mentioned she needed an easier access for breast-feeding and I got her a cool tee (semi-customed shirt) that she loved and I'll be getting a dozen more cause she's obsessed. All wrongs have been right-ed :). Oh and if you need cute clear bags for any sporting events PLEASE get them here :) stay blue (#dodgers), LA!
