In the process of Katy becoming an Asian enclave juggernaut (#1), this Daiso came at just the right…read moretime during the initial boom. The store sign is as retro as the rest of the strip mall block and has remained a steady place for affordable Japanese imported goods. Compared to other stores in the country, this one is spacious and features an excellent inventory for all to explore. The store layout is simple, but clean, organized, and extremely tidy. Their kitchenware and home goods are my go-to and the office / school supplies are always a hit. Every few weeks the selection of goods changes, so while they have a wide range of products, keep an eye out for seasonal goods like snacks, stuffed animals, and holiday items. From quirky gifts to household items, there really is something for everyone here. Gone are the days where everything was a $1, but most items are priced right around the $1.50 mark and up. I don't know how it's going to look due to the upcoming tariffs, but fingers crossed that the price tag stays relatively the same. Their budget friendly concept means folks will still keep coming, Because parking is in a large shared lot, it's never an issue finding a spot. It may lack the new bells and whistles of its sister location in Cinco Ranch (#2), I'm happy they've managed to expand to offer additional unique options to the Katy-Houston area. When it comes to discount stores, Daiso always has my vote. ____________ (#1) Katy Asiantown. Cinco Ranch. Mason Road. It's the new frontier. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/daiso-katy-5

Yes, I understand inflation, but not something very little and simple. Sorry, but I might as well stick with Daiso, 99 Cent Only, and Dollar Tree all nearby. These stores all have their pricing points on things of 99 cent and up. Daiso has a lot of good things for $1.75, and other pricing points. Wished I could support this store, but may just have to step back.

Asked them for help with the best suggestion for a water softener to care deeply for appliances that are new, and gave a few suggestions and information on the Houston area needs for home care, given we moved from CA. Delivery- 4/5 The positive: Communicative and called ahead of time to let us know they were 30 mins away. What needs improvement: The delivery men mentioned that they were NOT given the correct tools to finish the job of leveling out the panels on the fridge or what was needed for installation of the fridge upon delivery, because they "switched delivery trucks on them". Unfortoley, that leaves us the customer, waiting for them to come back and finish the job they were paid for. It's been a week, and we are still waiting for them to come back and level out the panels on the fridge. This is either the delivery men's lack of preparation before delivery or the owners' lack of structure to ensure delivery has what they need for all to go as needed.

Having spent so much time in NYC over the years, I've rarely been privy (#1) to retail chains like…read moreOllie's, which is ginormous compared to all discount stores (#2) I've ever seen in my life. A "bargain outlet" with 500+ locations across 3 dozen states, they have massive inventory that covers everything from mattresses to children's books. If Costco and Dollar Tree had a baby, it would be named Ollie's. I hate to generalize by saying they have everything, but it's really hard to suggest that they don't. There's appliances, apparel, sporting equipment, toiletries, electronics, office supplies, storage supplies, shoes, sporting gear, pet supplies, home decor, etc. It's really easy to get lost in everything they have. However, calling in might be an issue as their customer service is very spotty at best. The website isn't the most reliable in confirming inventory, so perusing in person is usually ideal. At the end of the day, affordable stuff that doesn't feel cheap even when it is. More importantly, I've scored some impressive deals and almost everything was of good-to-great quality. "Good stuff cheap" happens to be their slogan and is a motto I can certainly live by whenever I shop here. ____________ (#1) aka "missing out" (#2) Most of the country has Dollar Tree.

Barbi never offers discounts on her own DDs, but this store surely does…read more I wouldn't say that it's Barbi's favourite store at the moment is DDs, it's probably Dollar Tree or Five Below, but in terms of discount stores, this is definitely up there, and one which she does tend to go to on a semi regular basis. When she sees a new one has opened or finds one that she didn't know existed, she will usually have me take her there and check it out. She liked this one and it had lots of good things on offer, so she had good things to say about it. I can see why because it's a pretty good store. She likes the name too because it sounds sexy much like her - well she doesn't just sound sexy lol. Anyway they usually have good discounts and good merchandise and are usually one of the better and sexier discount clothing stores out of all the ones she goes to, and believe me when I tell you that she goes to them all.

Wasn't bad but was kinda unhappy with the results, they charged me for something I didn't buy.read more

I am SHOCKED there hasn't been more recent reviews…read more Five Below has really upped its game. I haven't been this excited for stationary and cute items in a longggg time. Sure that five below got a little pricier over the years but at the same time it looks like better stock now and there's way more cuter items. I really really hope they dont go higher than what it is showing now because it actually feels affordable compared to going to other places and better than Amazon. I probably spent a little more than I expected but honestly I'm just so so beyond excited to use the items I got! And thank you for the staff who went above the shelves for me to get down some of the items I wanted!

More like seven point five below, but anyway…read more Five Below is an awesome discount store where everything is under $5 and you can find some cool stuff in here although a lot of other stuff is overpriced, so you have to kind of know a good value product when you see one, in order to really get value out of the store.
