The Customer service was amazing. The gentlemen working told me that it's a guarantee 2 plushy win, if not we can keep trying or just let him know what one we want. My son had a hard time getting a plushy he's only 4, but the gentlemen came by and set up the plushy for him to make it easier so My son could win. He had a blast and it was a joy to see him so happy being able to win a claw machine on his own! You can upgrade your plushy for bigger one but it has to be same day. We'll be back for more!

If you filter to negative reviews you'll see that almost every one mentions parking costs. If you…read morecan ignore that or if you're lucky enough to live within trolley/walking distance (as my brother who I'm visiting is) it's a really phenomenal mall. There's a great range of both high-end (Hermes, Chanel, Tiffany, Carolina Herrera, etc) and affordable (Uniqlo, H&M) shopping along with both expensive and fast-casual dining. I love going to Marugame Udon for lunch and grabbing a quick bite, or Haidilao for hot pot if I want something a little nicer. There's also a VERY popular Din Tai Fung here. In addition, there's a food court with some fast food options, a Shake Shack, etc. It's a beautifully maintained and designed outdoor mall with plenty of space to sit and lots of kiosks where you can get coffee or small treats. Overall it's a phenomenal mall (maybe I'm biased because I haven't had to deal with parking though) and I'll definitely return.

I had a very disappointing experience at this mall because of the customer service at Panini Cafe,…read moreone of the businesses located inside. My pickup order was significantly delayed, but that was not the main issue. Delays happen. The real problem was the way I was treated when I simply asked for an update. One staff member responded by pointing at the monitor and saying, "OK?" in a dismissive and aggressive tone. He did not check on the order, explain anything, apologize, or show basic courtesy. I raised the issue with the manager at Panini Cafe, and she was professional and said she would address it, which I appreciated. However, the staff member himself appeared to avoid the situation and showed no apology, accountability, or remorse. This kind of experience reflects poorly not only on the restaurant but also on the overall customer experience at the mall. When businesses inside a mall treat customers this way, it affects how visitors perceive the entire place. Customers should be able to ask a reasonable question about a delayed order without being treated disrespectfully. I left with a very negative impression and will think twice before returning to this mall for food or pickup orders.

The parking, no fault if BAM is a little limited, that's just an FYI to the visitors…read more The BAM and staff is terrific, I got a great service and found everything I needed for my build in bulk. I appreciate the value of my purchases, I can sort all day long through the pieces I need. They also had a lot of really fun pieces in the cases that I got this time. My niece will love this castle. I can't wait to finish it for her. Thank you for everything. I'll be back. Highly recommend.

Their inventory is always changing so I visit whenever I'm in San Diego. The staff are awesome - knowledgeable and great at finding the right sets for whatever you're interested in. Last time I was there I got a HP Sorting Hat and the Venice architecture set, and I love both of them. I've also ordered online and my orders are well packed and arrive fast.

I had so much fun exploring Tokyo Central & Main! What makes this place unique is that it's…read moreactually made up of three separate stores--two grocery markets and one dedicated to merchandise featuring everything from adorable Japanese plushies and cookware to cosmetics, electronics, and so much more. And yes...I had to explore all three! Both markets were bright, clean, and incredibly well organized. One of my favorite sections was the tea aisle. As someone who absolutely loves tea, I was in heaven. Their selection is huge, with everything from loose-leaf teas to powdered varieties that you don't typically find in traditional American grocery stores. I'll definitely be back to stock up on a few new favorites. I originally stopped in to purchase a matcha whisk set, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. That didn't stop me from finding a few treasures, though! I ended up browsing the cookware section and picked up a beautifully designed set of reusable chopsticks along with beginner-friendly M-shaped training chopsticks. One unexpected highlight was getting to try a hand massage machine. It applies pressure to acupuncture points throughout your hand, and wow--it felt amazing! I'm seriously considering going back just to buy one. The produce section also looked fresh and inviting, so I can definitely see myself returning to shop for groceries. Plus, since my sons love anime, I already know they'll enjoy checking out the merchandise store with all the fun Japanese collectibles and character items. Whether you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, unique kitchenware, specialty teas, or fun gifts, Tokyo Central & Main is absolutely worth visiting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--you'll probably leave with more than you planned, just like I did! And you already know you can always thank me later

Ok, so I was like what happened to Marukai? I even asked the guy at the cashier and he looked at me…read morelike I was from another planet like HOW COULD I NOT KNOW that this place had been REBRANDED to TOKYO CENTRAL & MAIN? HUH???? Maybe because I came all the way from the Inland Empire and it's been so many years since I last visited this place?!?!? HUH!!!!!! Please forgive this UCLA Bruin from not knowing the TRANSITION of Marukai to Tokyo Central & Main!!!! Looks like the Interior and Exterior have been revamped a little too!!!!!!!!!!NICE!!!!!!!!!!! FIRE KIRBY: 10/10 so Kawaii!!!! We found a cute FIRE KIRBY to try and put together for building great memories!!! MEGA SHRIMP FRIED RICE: 10/10 I was also TEMPTED to buy the Japanese Fried rice with the MEGA SHRIMPS. It kept calling my name and I kept walking around it in CIRCLES so I gave in and said OK I'll take you home with me!!! So glad I did because it was so good!!! It wasn't overly salty or oily. The texture and flavor of the rice was so satisfying... SERVICE: The grocery section had the nicest service. The cookware and toy section was just awkward. It was like they didn't want to be there. We must ALL be grateful to have work than no work at all folks... KEEP IT UP TOKYO CENTRAL & MAIN!!!!!!!!

I believe i visited it 5 more times before it closed in July of 2025. I truly wish I could've came to this store more often, bc it was the only good quality K-Pop store, with great prices and kind staff near me. They had a pretty wide selection of albums, lightsticks, and posters. I bought 4 albums in my time coming to this store and the staff at the register were always soo sweet. Really amazing establishment, I hope they reopen in a location near me soon! ^^

Cute things central! Haha Fashion is located in the same plaza as Hmart. It's a small shop but…read morefilled to the brim with toys, plushies, blind boxes, tees/clothes, bags, sonny angels, and various other character goods. They have a ton of stuff that you would find in Japan (some exact items I actually saw on my Japan trip last year). Any character you can think of, you can find some merch here. Like Hello Kitty/Sanrio, Snoopy, Miffy, Monchichi, Pokemon, and so much more. The plus side is there are so many choices all in one place. The downside is the prices are very very expensive. A blind box that is normally $25 elsewhere could be $40. So be prepared to spend some money! The 2 ladies who owned the ship were very nice and super attentive.

There are bowls, platters, cups, tea sets, chopsticks, and some other items. There are quite a few items that are made in Japan, but if you are expecting all made in Japan items be careful, there is a bunch of made in China. I found a gorgeous platter that I'm in love with that and my son picked out a ramen bowl. We bought a few other items but we love what we purchased. The owner is very polite and helpful. We didn't feel rushed when looking around and the owner gladly assisted in getting us the items we wanted.

Staff is always friendly and helpful too. Only thing I wish is that they had more collectibles beyond cards. And speaking of cards, wish they had more single graded cards on display and for sale.

But they do carry Panini Select and Prizm cards, along with Topps. The store manager: Coach, has a great bunch of knowledgeable staff working here. They can tell you which cards & players are in and which ones are out of favor. Important insights to a collector. If you're into collecting, I would absolutely make coming here a stop on your route.
