I love this little store! It has so many good snacks! And they have great prices. Just look for the lead warning or prop 65 warning on some edible things. Great other cute things like office supplies and hand or face towels, slippers and other odds and ends.

My Lady went by Daiso yesterday and picked up a few items. Today she wanted to go back and brought me with. Neat store with convenient household items and other knick knacks and snacks. Check it out. 🐢🤙

Came in today, 7/27/2021 @6:30pm. I was in and out in 5 mins. They were fully stocked. I LOVE the disposable towels. They are sturdy, great for travel, home, vacay and can be used for face, body, cleaning and whatever. Unfortunately, theyre not biodegradable. Cost is $1.50 per pack. I like the square 10 pack, which is the medium size. These are compressed and removes make-up without added chemicals. 💄👩🏾‍🎤👀💃🏾

Just a sweet little fun place to find lots of practical everyday items for around $1.50 and up - housewares, make up, school supplies, snacks, organizers, gifting accessories...almost anything you can think of. Quality is quite good and stuff lasts.

This is like a dollar store. I bought japanese sushi, and rice bowls for 1.50 to 4 dollars. These plates and bowl would cost triple that in other places. This place is a real bargain, and great deal. Look in to it.

Everyone needs to go in here once... They will keep coming back... Its the 1.50 Store... And the quality is worth the extra 50 cents. Certain items are priced higher... But they are marked.

Im so happy this place is open! I was able to find some really great things for the kitchen as well as a new pair of flip flops that I needed. It also wasnt as crowded as when it was normally open before so it was nice to be able to browse and see all of the things they had. I even picked up a couple snacks to take home to enjoy AND got a cute little cat pillow that my dog thinks is hers now.

Terrible. You should really reconsider your exchange policy. Especially when I literally walked out of the store and came back five minutes after. Waited in line and went to the same cashier that checked me out. Explained that I had picked up the wrong size and may I please exchange it...NO!!! I guess I should apologize for picking up the wrong size. Smh 🤦 because thats all I got from your staff sorry NO!!! I expected better treatment for customers that love Daiso. Im not the type to make a scene. But seriously reconsider some of your policies and treatment of customers.

Review №42

It overstocked for the holiday and long cashier lines: regular item from the original opening are still low prices not the new items which are lacking a color pallet which Daiso is know for (pink, reds, greens, yellows and traditional cultural icons Seeing sets (groups)of items in varies sizes, varieties of differ kitchen utensil utilitarian arent present. I hope that they stay with the traditional merchandise that brought all of to love going Daiso and its prices.

Review №55

Daiso for many of you who are not familiar with the retail store is a version of $.99 or cheap outlet but focus on Asian product from overseas. This however doesnt mean that their products are all $1 dollar, the prices here varies but there are a lot of bargains to be had especially if youre a student or college student where you just might find that a lot of things here can come in handy. Good clean overall facility, nice staff and a lot of knickknacks that you might just pick up along the way.

I love this 1.50 Japanese store! You can find things for the home, food and snacks, socks, paper products, ramakins, etc. Some items are higher than 1.50, but they are marked with the higher price. This visit I did find a rubber topper for my cup to help keep my hot drink from cooling off too fast while in my cold office.

Surprisingly good selection and quality for the prices. i am a big fan of the kitchen stuff here. you can find decent silicone cookware and specialized utensils for cheap. most of the measuring stuff is metric, though, which is ok with me, but not for everybody.

We love Daiso! You cant beat the prices and you can spend hours just looking at the inventive people in Japan create. Prices are good that you dont feel bad about not being able to return anything. Make sure you bring your reusable shopping bags because you wont be able to carry your purchases in your bare hands!
