So we went for opening day of Teso Life, the wait actually wasn't that crazy for us. We arrived probably close to 2pm. Parked in Chinatown and took a walk up to downtown. We waited 45 min i believe to enter the building, it honestly didn't feel that long.
It was FIFO line system. When a group of folks exit the store, a chunk of the line group would be permitted to enter.
Once inside the first floor is snacks, drinks, ice creams, sodas, chewy candy, nuts, gummies, chips, frozen dumplings etc. a lot of Asian exclusives you won't find in other stores. This is also the floor that you checkout on. There was a line about 3-4 rows deep thru the aisles in the store in order to check out. If you spent $100+ you got a gift bag with monkey keychain, paper fan, pockey sticks, silicon applicator for makeup. Haha not really worth it but it's free anyway if you were going to spend that anyways.
Upstairs level has makeup, lash, lip, brows, facial masks, personal hygiene, protection, pleasure devices, tooth brushes, paste, million lotions for hands, feet, face, body etc. They also have cleaning supplies, sanitizers, kitchen goods, bathroom supplies. So many things that seemed to be for a really fair price especially being many items are directly imported from Japan.
Then we went down to the basement floor, this is where all their blind boxes, key chains, sonny angels, and labubu type blind boxes are available. They also have buildable sets like Lego style, wooden moving sets, and more.
All in all i think it's a great addition to Boston's downtown community. Will be in here when in town! Definitely went in on drinks and snacks on this trip! read more
