That lady who we think owns the place was real fun to get to know and we all share the same common memories of Portland in the 90s. As with any shop like this i would think the selection of stuff is subjective and changes often. Today we were impressed by good amount of records, fun cassettes and some great old clothing with some advertising places long gone like the city nightclub. Looking forward to future visits here to waste a few hours.

Service: friendly staff!…read more Selection: so much from 70's antique dishes, 80's and up. Antique toys, magazines, books, clothes & so much more. Value: I don't know about the value too much. I understand Antique but they has Ducks T-Shirts priced for $35... a bit steep. The only downtown was I bought a western like jacket and 2 rings... and they didn't pay attention to the price tag, as it was marked down from $76 to $62. I had already made it home before I noticed :( There's a lot to do here. Chess, photo opportunities and just tons of browsing! They have an area where you can grab coffee and some pastries & chill. A library you can rent for meetings. Bathrooms are upstairs and are co-ed.

Memory Den Antique Mall oh, where does one even begin to rhyme?…read moreA treasure trove frozen sweetly in time, each aisle a portal, each booth a clue, a maze of memories whispering, "Stay a minute... or maybe a few." You walk in thinking ten minutes will do, then suddenly an hour slips through because every trinket begs a second glance, every relic hums a quiet romance. Pick it up, read the tag, feel the age in your hand in the grand dusty stacks of "oldness," a hidden gem might take its stand. Classy as a Victorian clock and twice as charming, this place earns kudos for disarming. Bring a friend, bring your folks, bring whoever loves the dance of discovery because exploring these nostalgic nooks feels almost like flipping pages of history. It's a quaint little trip through the past, a daydream dressed in antique lace and shine; a cute way to spend the day, strolling backward through time, where even a forgotten story feels suddenly worth a dime.

Small space, tight quarters and while it's easy to get around the store by yourself, if there are more than two or three people, it feels too much and claustrophobic. A lot of figurines with other random, vintage items. Since a lot of the items are in display cases, and it's packed in tightly, it's difficult to see all of the inventory in some areas. I appreciate this store, especially the quality service, but unless you're looking for something really catches your attention or very niche, I found it hard to make a purchase.

Part gift shop, part plant shop, part purveyor of everything local, this small-but-mighty store has it all. From greeting cards to candles, and jewelry to succulents, I could easily have done all of my Christmas shopping during my recent visit. (And since, technically, there are a few more months until Xmas it's still a possibility that I'll be back to do just that!) The shop has a really friendly, cozy vibe, and the inventory is definitely "something for everyone" without being too campy or kitschy. I ended up buying a small gift, a card, and some cool modern wrapping paper; but if I had more time (and money) I would have left with an armload of houseplants and a new pair of earrings (or two). Special shoutout to the kind salesperson behind the counter, who found a little box to fit the gift I had just purchased!

If you know the significance of cold rooms regarding paranormal activity, you know what I'm talking about. There were a lot of interesting displays and fun things to read. The place was not very big, but I still had a good time. The staff was great, the selection was as on pint and the value of place was legit. Check it out if you are into paranormal activity.

That could be pottery, clothing, art, furniture, tchotchkes, plants, or something else. Some get really creative with their booths, adding hanging decor or a fun layout. I had some sticker shock over pricing, but I'm sure there are deals to be found also. If I were looking for a special item I would certainly return here to search. And it's a great place to wander looking for nothing in particular!

The original family who brought beautiful items from Japan have now largely passed the business to a younger person. I was strolling the neighborhood when a signboard announced an open day. Usually they are by appointment or voice call for entry. If you need their stuff, which you do, make an appointment or voice call for entry. They are on the 3rd floor of a clean warehouse with an elevator. They collect in Japan and ship their own containers. They have household ceramics, some tansu, some beautiful scroll landscape paintings, tools, tables, Japanese clothing, "go boards", sculptures, iron teapots, and more. Northern Japan is akin to Northwest USA and adjacent BC in climate and native culture. The native people in Japan are the Ainu and I visited their cultural center in Japan. Shogun's had on my visit collection of wood sculptures maybe 18-24" by 12" by 12" of bears catching salmon. It's in my pictures. Yes, Northern Japan has salmon! It is an Ainu native food. I have been known to haunt Japanese antique sales in Seattle. Some of the Shogun's items are very, very reasonably priced. I would recommend anyone interested in Japanese antiques, as seen by the photos, to visit by appointment and follow their announcements and other sales channels. The Northwest has a long relationship with Japan, Portland has a long and continuing relationship with Japan. If you want a little antique Japan in your living space or as a gift, Shogun's is a must-visit!

FYI: they had to relocate in 2021 due to a fire at their old location. So some Yelp photos are of the old place. For a resale store, I am always balancing two things: (1) how items are displayed / how easy it is to browse, and (2) the value of the pricing. And unfortunately this store was too full, with narrow aisles, and some things that seemed to me like junk (probably other people's treasure)... at too high a cost. I saw a single plate for $15. I likely won't visit regularly, but I think stores like this are worth supporting!
