"you mean the COFFEE baaar..." one of them snidely stated...sure...thanks for the clarification, rude person...I haven't been in for awhile and I was looking forward to grabbing a beer and browsing for my birthday. they looked away and sort of rolled their eyes? rude...the other one responded "yeaaa it's been closed for awhileeeee..." like I GET IT, so sorry I'm out of the loop and was looking forward to it and I didn't know the alcohol part of the BAR was no longer a thing. MY BAD. the rest of my hour was meh. the interaction put a pall on the whole trip and where I normally spend *hours* browsing I spent less than one. I found one thing I was considering purchasing but by the time I came back downstairs there was a line around the corner and down the hall, literally 10+ people waiting. nope. no thanks. overall still many cool vendors. kinda sucks you have to pay $10 to play pool for 70 minutes?? it is NOT free. the pop-a-shot game downstairs has ONE ball so you can't actually play that either. the whole Fallout vaults theme from upstairs is gone and makes the downstairs "vaults" seem out of place and disconnected...idk. just kinda bummed man. overpriced, smells bad, bad attitudes, long lines, costly games or games that you can't even play. wcyd. this won't be a primary stop anymore. sad.

I was visiting from out of town and headed to Powell's for some used books when a fuzzy memory hit me: Wasn't there a killer vintage shop I used to buy PEZ from back when I lived in Oregon? No way it was still around, right? One quick search later... it's still alive and kicking -- and I was literally 500 feet from the front door. Fate. Destiny. The Collectible Gods smiling upon me. Inside? Same owner I remembered from decades ago. That alone blew my mind. The inventory is unreal. Every one of my fandoms -- PEZ, Hanna-Barbera, Godzilla, King Kong, classic monsters -- all crammed into this cozy, nostalgia‑soaked cave of wonders. I could pretend I tried to play it cool, but who am I kidding? This place fed my soul. Did I buy more than I should have? Absolutely. Do I regret it? Not even a little. Prices are firm, but honestly, they're fair -- and half this stuff you never see in the wild anymore, even on eBay. If you love vintage collectibles, this shop isn't just a stop -- it's a pilgrimage. P.S. Please don't tell my wife what I spent.

That could be pottery, clothing, art, furniture, tchotchkes, plants, or something else. Some get really creative with their booths, adding hanging decor or a fun layout. I had some sticker shock over pricing, but I'm sure there are deals to be found also. If I were looking for a special item I would certainly return here to search. And it's a great place to wander looking for nothing in particular!

This place has both new and used items. We buy stuff every time we go. There is vinatage furniture, new art, used art, cool little chakis, chairs, purses, jewelry, antiques, clothing and great vintage finds. So much more as well! Some things are unaffordable for us and some are more reasonably priced. We found beautiful wood shelves that are stunning and bought them. They were exactly what we were looking for. We got a cool industrial console table abd other fool finds. I have bought a few nicknacks that I like and new art when they had a sale. Street parking is easy to find plus they have a parking lot. There are bathrooms. I would say the one thing I dislike is everything is a final sale. I mean absolutely everything. So I have not bought certain things in case they could not work where we want to put them or we were might want to use. Also for gifts since they are not returnable and want to give my gift receiver's that option. Some staff are more helpful than others. So it depends on who is working. This a good place to go if you are cool with final sales. Theycdo have grsat stuff.

They are on the 3rd floor of a clean warehouse with an elevator. They collect in Japan and ship their own containers. They have household ceramics, some tansu, some beautiful scroll landscape paintings, tools, tables, Japanese clothing, "go boards", sculptures, iron teapots, and more. Northern Japan is akin to Northwest USA and adjacent BC in climate and native culture. The native people in Japan are the Ainu and I visited their cultural center in Japan. Shogun's had on my visit collection of wood sculptures maybe 18-24" by 12" by 12" of bears catching salmon. It's in my pictures. Yes, Northern Japan has salmon! It is an Ainu native food. I have been known to haunt Japanese antique sales in Seattle. Some of the Shogun's items are very, very reasonably priced. I would recommend anyone interested in Japanese antiques, as seen by the photos, to visit by appointment and follow their announcements and other sales channels. The Northwest has a long relationship with Japan, Portland has a long and continuing relationship with Japan. If you want a little antique Japan in your living space or as a gift, Shogun's is a must-visit!

I could've stayed in there all day, easily. A lot of the negative reviews are baffling because prices are incredible and the employees were incredibly kind and friendly AND nobody said a single word about us touching the products. Maybe some people are just terrible at being customers? Anyway, if I wasn't traveling, I would've bought SO many things. Amazing old SLR cameras, guitars that my wife was messing around with, old toys, books, records at incredible prices... I so wish I could've fit stuff in my stupid suitcase. Records wise, they had The Four Tops, Joe Tex, Archie Bell & The Drells, Martha & The Vandellas, WILSON PICKETT!!!!!! and so many other soul albums I want to own sooo badly. Solomon Burke, for god's sake!!!! And most were $8-15 MAXIMUM which blew my stupid little mind. I need to come back here either on a road trip from CA or just suck it up and ship stuff to myself. And of course they have a beautiful puffball cat who was enjoying chin scratches but balked at my wife trying to pet her on the back (I WARNED HER). It's everything I need from a retail experience. Edit: Owner replied to ket me know they DO ship. That's excellent to know for my next visit because I am regretting that I didn't buy and ship myself records and other fascinating, strange things that I want to fill my home with.
