*Updating my review to something more neutral but still reflects my experience. I found out that this store's short staffed and that's probably why there's a lack of clear communication. I hope they're able to get the help that they need to help support their community, but I still stand by the frustration experienced when attempting to reach out multiple times.* I've spent a good amount of time calling this store trying to get ahold of a worker for clarification on a tournament they are holding. The phone doesn't even fully ring before you get sent to voicemail so I want to assume they're declining the call, but hopefully I'm wrong. Called since their opening and between the hours and still no luck talking to someone. They don't respond to their socials either. This feels very unwelcoming to new folks trying to stop by and support their shop. Unfortunately I cant comment on anything else from this shop as this was enough to deter me and my friends from wanting to visit, but it's great to hear from their community about their situation which clearly means their locals are happy playing there. read more

Amazing staff and super chill environment. You can tell the people here have a lot of friends here in the community. They host a lot of cool events and tournaments and the owner is really nice. I saw him give kids some "help" getting their grail cards multiple times. He's a kid at heart so he always tries his best to help their eyes light up. I always go here to check out their new Gundam models even though they're mainly known for their TCG and other collectables. If you're looking for TCG, always come early and speak to the staff about what they have coming in because you guys know the struggles are real right now! read more

I had heard about this place a few months ago and when my son stopped playing Pokemon, just kinda filed it in the back of my head. Just as sudden as he stopped with Pokemon, he started with Yu-Gi-Oh. Being a former Magic player myself, I had always heard the horror stories about the overly aggressive YGO community. As he bought a starter deck and started to learn how to play the game, I decided to finally stop in to Sugoi on our way home one day. Was met with an incredibly friendly staff in a quant little store filled with tables and inventory to satisfy any tcg nerds needs. Was surprised when the staff took their time to sit with my kid and went over the basic mechanics of the game and how to play his deck. Meanwhile, the community within also seemed to embrace a new YGO player and did not seem to throw any attitude or "holier than thou" mindset as I had always heard about. Prices are fair and they seem to have a huge singles inventory in the back of the store to pull from. Overall, this store and it's community is like a breath of fresh air for a TCG store. I could not recommend it higher and really appreciate how Sugoi takes care of it's customers and fosters a welcoming environment. Highly recommend, will be back for sure. read more

Came in for the store's One Piece treasure cup during November, had some questions for the TO. They didn't receive their participation items yet and had to pull back the event. TO handled it the best way possible given the circumstances, been going here for awhile. Kudos for them for being transparent and setting expectations, hoping moving forward their mailing courier is able to get their packages and items arrive on time. They're honest people trying their best to give back to the community and new players. Parking is pretty large, wild selection of games (magic, One Piece, Pokemon products and singles). They run multiple Bandai IP Card Games along with Magic: Commander, Yugioh for their locals and events. read more

Sugoi Stuff - Evee collection! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Review is based only on Shadowverse Evolved. Everyone here is friendly and the prices for individual cards are really good, they even price-matched TCGPlayer for me once when I asked. Pretty good turn out for the weekly Saturday Shadowverse tournaments at 1:30. Also, the tournaments are generous for prizing unlike Top Spot. They start a little later though to give people time to come if they're late so it is never exactly at 1:30. Other players who join have all been friendly and chill people too. read more

Sugoi has made a post on their instagram page referencing that the One Piece Treasure Cup is going to be First Come First Serve. Last week the owner had to cancel the last Treasure Cup because they did not receive the prizing in time. He did apologize for the event being cancelled, but he did not address that next week (11/30)'s event will be first come first serve. Bandai and the Bandai App is designed for players to sign up when the event becomes available and if done timely enough be marked as successful and have a seat for the event. The very aspect of doing a first come first serve when you have registered the event to be available to register online is incredibly frustrating and goes against what you agreed to host the event as with Bandai. I personally do not have the ability to drive out on the store when they open or even earlier to line up and sign up. This feels like I am being excluded as a player even though I followed what many other LGS are doing when following the app. Other stores who do the first come first serve method OR purchase a ticket online turn off their events ability to register on the Bandai App. If you are a player that is successful on the Bandai App, you may want to review their instagram post, story or call the store to see what events will be run as first come first serve and what will actually use the app. Even then, when I have messaged them on instagram, I personally do not receive a response. When I've called in, the staff seem lost as to what is happening and defer to looking at their instagram. There have been times when major events: Gundam, Pokemon, One Piece have been posted a few hours before the event is about to run. In the past for the OP-13 Pre-release event, I traveled as a successful candidate only to have the event cancelled less than 30 minutes before it was supposed to begin. The time I put to go travel and get off work early doesn't get made up. There seems to be no consistency with how they run events. This is more targeted towards high demand and exclusive events such as treasure cup that offer prize cards that can sell for $20-$200. I can't imagine how players are going to feel signing up for Store Championships where Regional invites are on the line via the Bandai App only to find out that they are just going to do a First Come First Serve List. This isn't a buffet, this is an event that people practice, travel and play at the highest level. If the store switched their event from in app registration to non-app registration it would be fair. However it isn't. Own up to what you registered for, if you can't then the owner and staff need to re-evaluate what they are doing running competitive tournaments. read more

Sugoi which is the Japanese word for awesome is what this TCG card shop is all about. All the staff members are knowledgeable and courteous to all the guests. Service is top notch. Usually have a good selection of new and old stuff at good prices. They also have a lot of tournaments weekly including street fighter. Will definitely come back to preorder products and play! read more

Don't come here for Pokemon prerelease events. I understand that they did not receive a lot of build and battle kits to accommodate everyone but here's where I observed a couple shady business practices: 1) A store worker told me they were starting signups at 2 PM for the 3 PM event. When I had arrived before 2 PM, there were nearly 40 names on the signup sheet which means they had been taking signups much earlier in the afternoon. They knowingly had less than two dozen kits to host the event and probably had around 50-60 total signups to fill their list. In comparison, a nearby store on social media posted their prerelease was sold out several hours before the start of their event. 2) One of the store employees who was announcing roll call said they were "present" for the tournament, effectively taking up one slot that should have been for another customer. Sounds pretty immoral to me. I had high hopes for this place since I've been a customer in the past and attended what I thought were good prize support weekly tournaments. I won't be visiting here anymore and will tell my friends to avoid this place. read more

Chill card shop to check out not to far from JJ's collectibles. Has some hype beast (Supreme) collectibles.

This store is amazing if you have a niche foe anime and gaming consoles. They even have friendly game console tournaments!

Great shop and very well organized! Came in and there were tables so people can play and relax. Picked up a few trainer cards for my personal collection but will come by again very soon! read more

Very sugoi store!! Everyone is so nice here and I will definitely be coming back （＾＾）

I went here to look at some Pokemon cards! Carlos was so helpful and he definitely made me want to come again. I would definitely recommend this shop! read more

I love coming to this shop to see what new things they get. I usually come here to get my pokemon elite trainer boxes. They have a good variety of trading card games like yugioh, digimon, and a few others I believe. They also got pretty cool gundams and I heard they host Gundam night at the shop where people come to build gundams together and just have a good time. I couldn't make it to the last one, but the event looked fun on their story. The staff is also very friendly so feel free to ask any questions or if they don't have it in store maybe they can order it for you as well. I also go some insane pulls from just 1 of their pokemon go etb. I'll post some pictures of what I pulled. price: I think their price is pretty reasonable so I love getting my stuff here. parking: plenty Would I recommend: yes read more

Attended a Digimon pre-release event. It was a nice surprise thatthere were more people than I was expecting since Digimon locals tend to have low attendance depending on location in my experience. People were friendly and I was even lucky enough to get a textured secret rare in one of my packs. Altogether, a pleasant experience. read more

Don't come here unless you want to be overcharged for a Pokemon pack... 10$ for one pack of paldean fates is crazy. Right now, it's listed on tcg for 4.79 and our local shop sells to us for 6! Also shopkeeper was rude and didn't wanna pause his conversation with friends to help us out. Selection of single cards was really bad too, not much in the display cases. read more

Carlos helped us out big time with finding pokémon cards, helped us with choosing digimon packs and also helped out with buying some video games and comics. I cannot stress enough how valuable Carlos was to us. He was great customer service towards my friends and me. read more

These guys have the best deals and selections on top of a really nice atmosphere for TCG lovers and other collectors.

Excellent customer service, super friendly, happy to negotiate prices. Definitely will come back :)

Walked into the store and the guy on the couter was zooted as heck. Waited for a good minute for my turn to get the last one piece box, to only have a random group cut in front and snag the last box. I asked the receptionist if he honestly didn't see me. He said my bad. Either my business wasn't wanted or he was too zooted to notice me standing there for 10 min ridiculous. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would this place robbed me and they think it's ok. I have receipts for everything they want to keep my cards I was selling out of my collection asking where I got them excuse me it's none of your business I have all my receipts and now they won't give me my cards back read more

I wanted to find a local card shop and trading cards shop within the area and ended up finding this one! They have a wide variety of cards from Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon! If you send them a list through their Instagram, they will work with you to create your deck or collection! Very reasonable price and friendly staff! Also met an old friend here! Congratulations on becoming an official Konami Tournament store! Thanks for the Yu-Gi-Oh cards! read more

All of the employees were extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The store carries a variety of board games including: Yugioh, Pokémon, Magic the Gathering, and even Gundam. In addition, there are several tables to duel your friends, trade, or open packs. They gave recommendations to my friends and I on which structure decks to buy and helped us sell them some of our cards. One of my homies pulled a Pot of Prosperity from the 2022 Yugioh Pharoh's tin. W tin selection by the employees, W store. read more

This place is fantastic. They have a wide variety of Pokemon, Yugioh, Digimon cards in stock. Including sealed product and singles. The owner looks out for the community. 10/10 would recommend visiting the store! read more

My brother recommended me this shop since we recently collect Pokémon cards. I use to go to target and they were always out. Then whenever I go to frank n son most of the booth have their stuff at a premium. What I like about sugoi was they didn't try to upcharge me of products. They also gave me a good deal for buying more so that is always appreciated. I come every few weeks to see what they have and they been getting a good amount of products in. I see that they recently got Digimon cards that look pretty awesome if you are into that. I brought my friend and he said their gundams are pretty cool and hard to find around here. If they had smaller chibi gundam I would probably get one. Anyways thank you sugoi for being so friendly and helping me out as always! read more

Always a rad exciting this place. Some kind of funky tourney or just straight up laughs. And the dudes are awesome. Always go out of there way to make the deal seem fair. read more
