Daisooooo When I first heard of Daiso as a Japanese equivalent to a 99 cent store, I expected it to be much smaller. Its a big store, but the aisles are so narrow, garhh The first time I went there, a glass shelf in the back of the store somehow broke and shattered all over the floor... Surprisingly (but thankfully) no one was standing underneath or too close to it. This store is full of cute things, useful and not, and pretty cheap at $1.50 each for most items. I got orange kitchen items to match my orange pots :D , laundry bags, plastic containers, kitchen stuff, cleaning stuff, organizing stuff, toiletry stuff... and random stuff like a freakin haircut cape that has lifted edges to catch hair... ahhaha! All sales are final! And theres a $10 minimum to use credit card.

Its a smaller Daiso but well stocked. Problem is, the aisles are way too narrow, you cant stand still and browse without being in the way. There is free parking without need for validation. Even though I went on a Sunday around lunch time, it wasnt hard to find parking in the indoor parking. There is another Daiso about 2 miles down in Atlantic Ave which is located in a strip mall but their shelves were mostly empty. However, the aisles are wide enough, you may use a push cart and still have enough space for the other shoppers. Parking there was also not difficult. I went to these 2 Daisos on the same day.

Clean store, almost too crowded. I went there to get some bento accessories, but they didnt have a huge selection there. There were a lot of selections for everything there. Most of the items are only 1.50, so I cant speak to the quality of the items, but this is more like a middle tier quality if the 99 cent store items are bottom quality. I usually come here to buy notebooks, because they have quality notebooks here that are fountain pen friendly.

The original Daiso in the area! Love this 1.50 store that has the coolest trinkets you cant find at Dollar Tree or 99c stores! Theres always a need for binders, china, cleaning supplies, or cute items with smiley faces on them! Remember their credit card payment minimum requirements and there are no returns. Otherwise, be ready to spend if this is your first time and youre a freak for OCDness.

A way better version of cheap household stores. Everything here is Asian, mostly made in China with some made in Japan items. Its not $0.99 like Dollar General or 99cent stores, but at $1.50/item its still pretty dang cheap. Why buy Draino for $5 at supermarket when its $1.50 here... Plus they have lots of weird household items that you didnt you need... Apple cutter, back massager, etc...

$1.50 everything unless otherwise posted. Some items go for $1 or $3, but 90% of the store is $1.50. Take your time in the store to find something in particular youre looking for because the staff wont know where to find it either. The store is very well-kept, but avoid it on the weekends as it gets crowded and its hard to move around the store.

I make frequent visits at this Daiso when Im dining in the plaza. For those that dont know, its basically a discount store that sells more items for $1.50, but the items are of better quality than your typical 99 cent store. Almost any type of daily household use items can be found here, including snacks. Clean, quick, and organized.

The whole place is narrow and hard to move throughout store or maybe its because im a big guy. This place is great, because it caters to the people in san gabriel valley. Thus, the products are much more different than the other places. There are things here that you wont find in the san fernando valley. Im a proud shopper for Daiso.

Ive never been to Japan, but I imagine that this is what it feels like when I walk into this store. You can find the cutest little knick knack things here. Anything from ceramics, to japanese cosmetics, to japanese snacks. The bonus... everything is $1.50!

Its a Daiso, not much to say. It seems like the layout of this place is a bit different than other ones in terms of product placement but overall its not bad. The line could get pretty long and interfere with the aisles.. but happy shopping in Daiso!

Small store but most of the time they are pretty organized. Convenient location amongst many restaurants in the same shopping center. Parking is horrible on the weekend though.

We love this store... and we always manage to find something to buy at a good price. That said, dont buy any electronics. I bought a keychain flashlight that didnt work.

Everything is $1.50 unless price tagged. The quality is very good for a cheap price. Its a decently sized store and can find a variety of items.

Eric To

One of the best places to go when you need that one random knick knack for whatever project youre attempting to complete.

Andy Co

Wide variety of items! Go in for one or two items and come out with double or triple the amount.

Ive heard so many good things about this store and cant wait to go check it out!!! :D

Its Daiso. Who doesnt love cheap, made-in-China (and occasionally Japan) stuff?
