I didn't make any appointment since the day that I had unfolded in a way I couldn't predict, and when I spoke with an associate in the makeup department, she immediately could tell I was gonna break down and cry at the moment, and was so kind and sat me down and consulted me on all these different products I needed and gave me a mini makeover. It was something so small, but that act of kindness and calm made me feel SO MUCH BETTER after an awful and stressful day. Thank you, I still remember your consideration for taking the time to help me and will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm back in SF.

In the app, I was able to look at reviews and do my research prior to visiting. When I arrived, I knew what aisles to visit to locate the items. The sale price was stellar, the inventory stated was present. The store was clean, well organized and stocked, and the service received was amazing. One employee helped me with a falling box of crackers. Another employee helped locate an unmarked aisle and unlock the display case to obtain the earbuds. Both employees were friendly with a welcoming exchange - I greatly appreciated the service received. I was able to check out my tech and crackers in electronics without hassle and immediate service. I would definitely return again to shop for my wants and needs. It is about a 7-10 minute walk from Montgomery Bart (depending on what exit you take to reach street level).

There are plenty of restaurants with great views as well as casual spots to eat. It is lovely to have a view of the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Ferris wheel all in one. On the other end, you can see the sea lions and Alcatraz. The sea lions are really really fun - there is one sea lion that is absolutely MASSIVE. The parking is expensive but you can get 1 hour comped when you validate. On a beautiful day, this is reallly a fun spot to come (even if it is touristy).

Back in…read morethe day, they used to have a recording studio where you could record a demo, and that is a favorite memory. But, the sea lions, the views, and the shops are the heart of why I visit almost every time I come to the City. It is just such a cool atmosphere and fun place to visit. On our most recent visit in early September 2026, it happened to be a foggy day, but cool after a few days of unusually warm weather. We stopped by to see the sea lions, and visit many of the stores. It Pier 39 geared for tourists? Yes. But, I love the gift shops, the restaurants, the attractions, and everything else that is Pier 39! I enjoyed our recent visit, and I look forward to the next one!

I ordered an item online while out of town and had it shipped to the store for pickup. Got the email from the carrier saying it had been delivered so I called the store around noon the day of delivery and they said the pickup would be ready in two days as they had to "check it into the system." It takes you 48 hours to scan ONE package? I'm glad I didn't order more than one thing, it might've been Christmas by the time I was able to pick it up. When I got to the store it was nearly empty. Employee to customer ration was easily 50 to 1 and probably even higher than that. Anyway, went to the Men's department (escalator was out of service of course) and they went into the back to get my item. The only and I mean ONLY reason I'm not blasting this store with a kilo of dynamite is the guy that helped me once I arrived was so curteous and friendly I just can't bring myself to go thermonuclear.

Considering how many customers frequent this store, it's in decent shape…read more I experienced the bad customer service. I walked in five minutes before closing to find a jacket and while walking in the store a man walks by and without making eye contacts tells me in a rude tone, we are closed! I then tried to get his attention to ask where I could find jackets; he tried to ignore me and I insisted and said "excuse me, I have a question"; I was trying to get his attention so I could catch his name. His name was Fernando. He quickly said where to find jackets in (of course) a rude tone. I ended up not buying anything because I didn't want to shop at an establishment that was so awful. I left the store with three minutes left until closing. The fact that this man was so rude and even dared tell me they were closed as I was just walking quickly to grab a jacket was unwelcoming and just rude. I was taking my time; I was walking fast because I was mindful of the workers there and the amount of customers still in the store. I was on a two day work trip and didn't bring a thick jacket and San Francisco had a very cold day (locals were telling me it was colder than usual) and I only had five minutes to find a jacket. It's ironic, that there were drug addict men in the store but of course they were not told it was closed; here I am dressed up in formal work clothes and I am approached by that Fernando guy essentially telling me to leave. This can't be solved by training but supervising employees better; this man seems to be free to act this way without repercussions.

This is a huge trading bargain store. It's never ending!…read moreYou can find anything here. From toilet paper, tooth brush, bowls, tumbler, pencils, light bulb, lighter, underwear, luggage, toys, chairs, incenses, etc. It's actually overwhelming. It's like Costco, you lose sense of time in there. They had a sister store across the street but they closed it down and combined every thing here now. Came in here looking for bowls to replace our old ones, as some of them have chips on them. My mom didn't like any of them. And their price is high. Found the same bowls for $2 cheaper around the corner. I remember coming here when I was a little girl with my dad, he would purchase a toy for me each time we visit. Ofc I don't have them anymore. But I would play with them until they die on me or it breaks. I also bought a red mini broom/dust pan set for $10.99 few years back. It works so well! Light weight and sturdy. Used it at my work because the brooms we had there was extremely heavy. They have some value bargains definitively worth your buck. Instead of paying $5 for superglue, it's $2.49. Like most shops, they do not accept returns. Exchanges only. It's family own like most shops in CT, they're all really nice. I think the daughter in law runs the cashier, she speaks English and Chinese.

Last time I was here I bought a nice black synthetic back pack for under $20. I have also bought household items, tools, bamboo mats, photo frames, clothes hangers, figureines, paint brushes and plants through out the years. This place is great if you need to pick up some really cheap stuff. It's nice that this place is located in the quieter part of China Town away from the crowds.

All was well in our world.

The Cannery at Fisherman's Wharf is one of those places I've walked past and through more times…read morethan I can count. Long before Fisherman's Wharf became what it is today, this building was a working Del Monte fruit cannery in the late 1800s, and I've always appreciated that it was preserved rather than replaced. You can still feel that history in the brick walls and the overall layout. Over the years, the Cannery has evolved into a mix of small shops, cafés, and casual food spots, but it never feels completely disconnected from its past. I like that it's not trying too hard to be flashy or trendy. It's a comfortable, familiar stop where you can step inside, wander a bit, or grab something simple without committing to a big plan. What keeps me coming back is the setting. I often find myself lingering outside, taking in views of the bay, Alcatraz, and the constant movement along the Wharf. It's an easy place to slow down for a few minutes and remember that San Francisco is at its best when its history and everyday life coexist naturally.

I'll be honest I didn't come to SF to visit this spot specifically but I am glad I stumbled upon it. So much history. My grandparents, aunts and uncles all worked in canneries in the central coast (Salinas/Watsonville area) so I can totally appreciate this building and what it originally was

Today, we got to come back and visit while our ship was docked in SF. There must have been some renovation because they were hosting a grand reopening event. The base price for items is now $2.25 but still a fun place to shop and I found many items that are carry on suitcase friendly to bring home. I even had my trusty reusable shopping bag from my very first visit ever that was mentioned in my last review. There were a few fun events like a capsule machine prize and spin to win along with the Daiso mascot, stickers and free bag with minimum purchase. It was so much fun. So sad there aren't locations closer to home.

I also love all their unique erasers shaped like food and cute little boxes and arts and crafts, such as origami, woodwork, and gardening items!! I will continue to check out this particular SF Daiso seasonally when I get a chance to come up to the city!!
