Oomomo on 4151 Hazelbrige way, Richmond A lot of different kinds of daily life tools from kitchen to school supplies, almost everything you need! We went there and it is about the school day soon. And they have a great selection of different kinds of modernized school supplies! Service is good, you can easily to find their staffs for help. The price of the school supplies is reasonable as well. read more

Japanese lifestyle store inside a mall. Huge store with two levels and even a small cafe - all reasonably priced compared to the food court in the mall. They all looked great and I got a strawberry sundae. Large selection and all neatly organized. I saw a lot of staff walking around and re-organizing as I perused around (not sure if they're keeping an eye on everyone as well since they sell lots of small items). Prices in general were also good. read more

I've shopped at Oomomo at Aberdeen Centre many times before and generally had good experiences, which is why this was disappointing. On this visit, I picked up an item based on the shelf price, but it scanned higher at checkout. Staff checked and confirmed the shelf label was incorrect. However, they refused to honor the displayed price or offer any adjustment, and suggested that perhaps another customer had moved the label. I understand mistakes can happen, but once the store confirmed the label was wrong, I expected some level of accountability or customer consideration. I even escalated the issue one level, but the outcome didn't change. Overall, the store has a good selection and I've had many positive visits in the past, but this experience felt unnecessarily rigid and not very customer-friendly. I hope they can improve how situations like this are handled going forward. read more

The crepe is not very good. I had such a hard time chewing it or cutting it with the wooden knives. Would not order again. The rest of Oomomo is amazing, though! Love the assortment of offerings from snacks to useful things for the home. read more

Oomomo - Department Stores Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

There was Chinese new year eve celebration at Aberdeen center so i decided to check Oomomo out. I haven't visited oomomo in years and was surprised how things have changed. The store layout is very different and there were a lot of new additions. They had anime figures and Gundam models for sale. Some of them were a tad overpriced though. They had a staff member standing near the figure display case at all times, im guessing to assist people who want to take a closer look or purchase them. Another new addition i saw was a dessert, coffee, and tea cafe. They had a small dining area at the side. I will try it out on a future visit. I saw a few cool stationary things that had a interesting design so I bought them. They had a cute milk carton shaped pencil case and a very cute Nintendo Kirby mini spray bottle at 3 bucks each. There was also a 2 hour only midnight special where every drink was half off. I bought a very popular drink called, Calpis, a non carbonated drink in peach flavor. I also got Ramune, a very interesting looking drink that includes a glass marble inside of it. Both were delicious. They were available in the chilled drinks section at about $2 each. Many other customers also bought drinks. The bottled iced tea was pretty popular. I spent over an hour on both floors looking at the thousands and thousands of products. They sure have a lot of things. They were open until midnight just for the Chinese new year countdown event so I had plenty of time to browse around. Some of the prices are outrageous but most of the items were reasonably priced. I just don't understand how pencil cases can cost $25-30. It had a cool design though. The stuff they sell are more expensive than dollarama but the things they sell are of better quality. Staff were friendy and fast. There were no queues and I was able to checkout right away. I asked one of the staff members questions about the Japanese drinks the sold and the store in general. They were happy to help me out. The store itself is super tidy and organized. Each item category had large signs that you can see from far away. Staff were easy to find if you need assistance finding something. One thing i noticed is that they toned the volume of the Japanese pop music because I didn't really notice it. It used to be kinda loud. Overall, I don't have really have any negatives to say about Oomomo. They have a ton of selection (better and bigger selection than their metrotown branch in my opinion) and is worth checking out if you happen to be at Aberdeen center. 5 stars based on this visit. The pics I included are items i got from my shopping haul. read more

I was sad to pull up to Aberdeen Mall and see that the Daiso was gone! It'd been years since my hubs and I had visited Richmond, BC, and not being able to travel during the pandemic certainly didn't help. But once I realized that Daiso had been replaced by Oomomo, my heart lifted! It was like a Daiso in so many ways. I wandered through all the super cute home goods and spent a lot of time in the stationery section. After almost an hour of browsing, I came away with a huge selection of stickers (love them! and they should last me a couple of years!) and also a bunch of small, travel-sized bottles and jars to redo my travel toiletries kit. My hubs wandered around then got a remarkably good (and cheap) Americano from the cafe and was happy. Oomomo is a cool shop for all your home goods and kawaii stationery needs. I can't believe I found a place I like as much (or more than) Daiso! read more

Staff were nice. There are plenty of things to pick from, and the area is clean and maintained well. The prices are good. Although i wish they served smaller portions in their menu. read more

Oomomo is a Japanese home goods store in the vein of Daiso but looks to be slightly higher quality and slightly more pricey. They carry a very wide variety of different things--running the gamut from kitchen ware (cookware, bakeware, storage and utensils), table ware (plates, bowls, serving trays, place settings), decorative items (faux flowers, vases, smaller floor mats and wall art), stationary, snacks (chips, candies, cookies and non-alcoholic drinks), to bathroom and seasonal items. This place has it all. Great place to stock up on ceramic bowls, plates and serving ware - they have a breadth of attractive and affordable designs. Many items in the store are made in Japan, which still stands for decent quality in my book. As expected from Japanese carry-all stores they also have some very cute items like scissors that are shaped like a rabbit, or the smallest little measuring cup (see photo) and cast iron pan teaspoon *^_^* not to mention a bunch of cute stuffed animals (not pictured), and a good selection of nice stickers (hard to find these days). The store itself is quite large, with two floors. There are signs with general categories posted in the store, so it's fairly clear where to locate any items you're searching for. There are still a lot of items placed in the front store areas so best to walk around and take a look if there's something specific you're searching for. When I was there, I went downstairs to check out. read more

Fun to shop for little things. Lots of choices and selection of different household and personal items.

Oo-mama, I love Oomomo! Basically a two-story upscale Daiso (with similarly upscaled prices), but carrying a larger variety of high-quality home goods and décor, kitchenware, cosmetics, foods and snacks, organized elegantly, cleanly, and easily navigable, with helpful, friendly (and often very shy) staff. Plus a quaint little a café serving coffee and other beveraged (iced or hot), as well as crepes that would not be out of place on Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Tokyo! Oo-baby! read more

Omg this place is sooooo cute. Nice little dining spot, bright, clean look. Prices are amazing, $5 for a fresh crepe with whip, banana, scoops of almonds, and chocolate drizzle. Made right before your eyes fresh to order. read more

Looks like Daiso changed its near to Oomomo. The store is still owned by the same owner Fairchild Group. They cut off Daiso (franchise) but in terms of all the goods and everything are coming from the same Daiso suppliers. Oomomo is only in Canada (from what I can see). Basically the owner cut off the middleman and also no more Daiso franchise fees. The layout and everything remains the same. Quality are ok. Prices are cheap and definitely great if you are on a budget. It is better than the typical dollar store. This Oomomo is located in Aberdeen mall. It has lots of free parking. read more

Here is another gem to check out in Aberdeen Center, Oomomo cafe located inside the Oomomo store, they served Japanese Mazazu Crepe, teas, coffees and more. The soft-served ice cream green tea and milk are highly recommended it's creamy, flavourful and not so sweet. We also tried strawberry choco tiramisu crepe and green tea shiratama azuki parfait, they're seriously delicious if you prefer not-so-sweet yet tasty desserts. I'm not sure but I want to point out as well that when paying it goes directly to pay, not the tip option. I visited twice already and that's how it was. I Will do another update on my third and fourth visits. read more

Haven't been to Aberdeen Centre for a while and was pleasantly surprised to find that they have Oomomo here now too! In fact this used to be the Daiso that brought us the Japanese Dollar shopping experience in the Greater Vancouver area, now with many similar store with similar concept are cropping up all over town! I did notice that Oomomo has increased the inventory here and made some rearrangements within the store, but still offering a lot of the specialty items that are unique to them, e.g. Japanese Baking needs, cake pans, utensils, cake boxes, paper cake loaf for ovens etc!! Now that I know Oomomo is here, I may be back to Aberdeen Centre more often! But still hate their parking as people just wanted to park on the 1st & 2nd level and hold up everyone who just want to pass by and park at higher levels where there are plenty of space left!! read more

How can you NOT love a store where everything is practically $2 ($1.50 USD)?! It's like the Candadian Daiso Japan. Pros: -This place is a two-story store full of adorable Asian accessories and goods! -Parking was super easy and it's connected to additional Asian flavored stores. -They even had SALES on seasonal items! I couldn't even imagine that you could put some of these items on sale! Cons: -Not the most friendly of staff but they were pretty focused on stocking the store so that's not a bad thing. -Some of the isles are very narrow that makes it hard to walk through... even though the store has ample space to spread out. read more

Oomomo - Department Stores Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I have not been to Aberdeen Mall for awhile and did not realize that Daiso was gone! However, I decided to check out this store. The store was rebranded and it appears to be under the same parent company. The selection is better than other comparable dollar stores. Items are $2 and up. I find the quality of many items very good for the price. I noticed a lot of items still have the Daiso logo on their packaging. I usually stock up on cotton puffs and noticed the prices have gone up to $2.50 while the puff count has decreased to 60 puffs. I guess cost of living has gone up and prices adjusted to match. I did ended up buying some laundry bags and kitchen utensils. read more

Located in the Aberdeen Centre, this is similar to the Daiso stores. They sell a variety of Japanese products, some of which you don't find in the Daiso stores or Don Quijote stores. They also have a small food stall. read more

Overall, shop is great, but make sure to check your purchased items. I bought an eyeliner recently and it had nothing inside the package.

First time going back to what once was Daiso. After the current change over to "Oomomo" there is a lot less selection available. Some previous staple goods like gauze tea bags, kitchen/ceramic goods, plastic folders options or household items is now all gone. The new cafe area only serves Japanese crepes (Why do we need this when we already have plenty of this in Vancouver? Even in Japan crepes are a dying trend). Together with the post office downstairs, I suspect it's only to hide how much less stock they can supply now that they no longer are affiliated with Daiso Japan. read more

Oomomo - Department Stores Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

The flagship store for Oomomo (previously Daiso). The inside was mostly unchanged. They also carry mostly the same merchandise at the same price. They also have a Canada Post on the first level now. read more

They should make sure that there are enough cashiers available at both floors (they did not have enough cashiers for the long queue downstairs). It was difficult to browse the products on the shelves by the check-out area because the shelves were low that we needed to bend down. Some people are not able to bend down. If they want customers to shop, they should make it easier for customers to do so. The shelves by the check-out area at Daiso in the past used to be at eye level. Also, the shelves in the queue area should only contain simple/cheap items that do not require browsing time (e.g. gum, chocolate bars) and not unique/expensive items. read more

Not a fan of the rebranded Daiso in Canada. Much preferred the original Daiso. Prices for items have gone up, less selection and variety, although when we visited, they were still clearing out a lot of Daiso branded items. It is a lot less crowded on the lower level, and they have a fancy new counter for checkouts. Either way... sad that Daiso is gone, and now we're stuck with this. read more
