What a gem!! Walked in and immediately was impressed with the vibe of the store. Lots of people…read moregaming on the tables, very clean and organized, and a welcoming environment. They have sections based on what your looking for: War games, painting, dnd, and board games. There are very clear sections of the store. We walked around to look at the board games and DnD section, along with dice. We loved the dice selections and play mat selections. We only ended up leaving with a Trans mimic sticker (queer friendly!!) and had a lovely interaction with staff members before leaving. Overall great store set up, clean, nice staff, good selection, queer friendly, and good vibes.

It has been increasingly difficult to find any Trading Card Games in stock, especially with the Big…read moreBox stores. Seems sadly that they have fallen prey to scalpers. It was more than time to find a local game store. I started the search and came across Brute Force Games. They had a pretty decent website. So I gave the store a call, and asked stupid questions (is this in stock?). While they didn't have what I was looking for, the staff was super helpful and didn't mind the questions. I decided that I would have to stop by the store in person. The overall aesthetics of the shop were amazing. Much larger than I was anticipating - but the layout was extremely well setup. With the cashiers being in the middle, they had 3 different registers going at the same time. While there was still a rather large line, it went by rather quick. The store also had a great selection of products, I was able to find the Alien RPG expansion - which I haven't seen in most stores. They also had a wide range of TCGs, Board Games, Trinkets and Warhammer stuff. While we were shopping there were running a Magic the Gathering tournament - there was plenty of space for both shoppers and players. The entire stuff was quite helpful, and we were able to find everything we were looking for. Overall a very solid experience - certainly one of the better game stores I've been to. Not only is it clean, but there is plenty of room. You most likely find something you are looking for, and the best part is that they are local.

They were super helpful with whatever questions I had and suggestions on what I should buy. They…read morehave tons of options and a wide range of rcs here.

I bought the cuckoo clock from them and it was less than the A-Word place. It looks beautiful since we finished it! I'd rather spend my money here, locally, for model kits and supplies.

I really wanted to like this place. I enjoy supporting small businesses and was excited to spend…read moremoney at a local hobby shop. I purchased an RC car here that failed within minutes. The store exchanged it, but the replacement failed as well. Being sold one defective product is unfortunate. Being sold two in a row and then told a refund was not possible is poor customer service. We made multiple trips and still ended up with a broken toy. It's hard to understand why a business would choose to lose a customer over a $22 item. What should have been a simple customer service issue turned into a frustrating ordeal. Very disappointing.

Great shop for Japanese gifts, home goods, pottery and kitchen stuff. The store is on the smaller…read moreside but being that it is inside Mitsuwa it's not bad. They have a beautiful selection of Japanese made pottery. We founds some great little pieces and some neat ramen bowls. The store owner was incredibly nice, polite and let us just take our time and browse. I would definitely suggest stopping in on your next trip or if you're in the area

This is a cute little shop inside Mitsuwa. If you are looking for somewhere to buy some authentic…read moreJapanese made items you will find a decent selection. 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.

The layout of the store is super compact and cozy, and I love that they play Anime Eurobeat and Trance music instead of the usual K-pop at other stores. I always give this place a visit when I go to Mitsuwa, I hope they get Zenless Zone Zero or Touhou project merchandise in the future

Bought a Macaron Labubu from them for a 10 year old birthday party today and it was totally fake. I…read moreasked the shop worker/owner if they were real and he looked at me like he was offended for even asking. It was very obvious when she opened it in front of everybody and very embarrassing. Just know this shop is doing this as I'm sure I will have no recourse as they say no returns everywhere in the shop. Just trying to save everyone else the embarrassment and disappointment of getting a "lafufu". Sent another friend the next day and the same thing happened. They will also be writing a review to try and save people from paying $70 and getting a fake.

I'm not one of the adults who still collects, but now my girls are all in... and I'm along for the ride! From the moment we walked in, they were welcomed with so much kindness. I didn't catch her name -- she wore glasses -- but she was incredibly sweet to my girls and even gifted them each a Pokémon Trainer Box. It absolutely made their day. They haven't stopped talking about building decks since. They spent the rest of our visit carefully picking out their favorite cards from the mixed singles boxes -- Jigglypuff and Pancham were top picks -- and wide-eyed staring at some of the wildly priced cards (definitely made me wish I'd held onto mine from back in the day!). Here's hoping their new Pokémon passion doesn't completely drain my wallet... but this shop made 2/22 a day they won't forget. Thank you -- especially to the kind employee who went out of her way to make two little girls feel so special. We'll absolutely be back!
