I was expecting to go to Joann's only to see a Daiso has taken it's place, and to fin d out that it's been here more than 3 months! So what else to do but look around? It's like any of those dreaded stores where once you go in it's impossible to come out empty-handed. Not everything is $1.50, I just bought a cute slouchy beenie here for $3. Since it's the holiday season, I would suggest this store for stocking stuffing items. Not only are items practical here but quite cute too. The girl in line ahead of me was buying chair socks. It's what you put on the legs of chairs so they don't scuff up your floor or make annoying scraping sounds. What a novel item "normal" people might sick a piece of felt on the ends of the legs but... no cute must be factored in! It has it's own rooftop lot, so although the address says Baldwin Ave. turn on Duarte Rd. to get to it. read more

Really bad customer service today on December 23th. The woman's service attitude is extremely poor, completely rushing customers to settle the bill, I was taking out money but she said no cash, only credit cards, and then I was looking for a credit card when she was telling me to hurry up and ask her questions with a very poor attitude kept saying no, too malicious! read more

YAY! Love this store, now there is one close to home. So many random useful cool stuff in here. I can easy spend over an hour and over $$$ all these little necessities. There is always something new (or something I missed the last time) Great place for gifts. read more

We got lost looking for this location! You'd need to drive up the ramp between Starbucks and the market (Vons?) and you'll drive up to a huge parking lot. I felt the Daiso in Temple City was much more organized even though it was much smaller than this location. The employees here are very welcoming and they are so helpful! I was able to find everything I needed when I came. read more

What more can I say about this store? You can find just about anything you need or eat for about $1.50 each! My favorite is the false lashes, nose strips, and face wipes! I love the snack section but lately I try to avoid just because need to stay away of sugar and extra calories I don't need. I'm glad it's all over So Cal now, it reminds of the 100 Yen stores that I love in Japan. Parking is plentiful here and much easier than fighting at the Temple City store or at the Santa Anita mall location. Don't forget to bring your own reusable bag, or you can buy one by the cashier for of course $1.50! read more

Daiso is like the Japanese Dollar (fifty) Store. Most things are $1.50 unless otherwise marked. If you like cute trinkets, this is the place for you! They also have a lot of kitchen gadgets you never knew you needed, as well as beauty products that couldn't hurt to try for $1.50. This location is bigger than most (including the one at Westfield mall), which means better selection and more stuff! It's located on the second level parking deck. Bring your own bags, unless you want to buy one of theirs. read more

Spent hours going through the aisles with my bestie. We've never shopped at Daiso Japan before but at $1.50 an item, we had to shop around and see for ourselves. It's pretty much the same things you'd find at a dollar tree or 99 cents only store with the exception of Japanese goods and snacks. Be sure to check expiration dates. Aisles are well maintained and organized. I took home a doggie trashbag dispenser w/ 3 refills, a double pack of heart reel holders for work, a spare rolling pin, star and heart shaped silicon ice trays, cookie cutters, and a heart shaped cake pan. I found the best deals and cute trinkets for baking. The quality of the items are made cheap at best. But you can find cards, gift bags, and stationary for gift giving and scrap book making. I spent under $20, but I did take out quite a few items from my cart before check out. It's easy to get carried away at Daiso Japan. read more

Daiso, to me, is a wonderland filled with things I think I don't need but end up convincing myself to purchase anyway. You can find everything from Asian drinks (iced coffee, green tea, black tea, milk tea) and snacks. They carry my childhood favourite-- Meiji Strawberry Chocolate Candy! Instantly takes me back to the good ol' carefree days man. I used to put those in the fridge/freezer and gleefully take many trips to the kitchen and delight in popping a piece or two in my mouth. Now it's a dangerous affair when I do buy a box of those because I end up finishing the entirety of it in a day (or less) or two (if I somehow impose proper self-control upon myself, that is). Of course Daiso also carries the usual Hello Panda, Yan Yans, Pocky, Hi Chews, Glico, what have you's. Like I said, Asian snacks galore! I've bought many useless things at Daiso and somehow I don't feel as bad because every item is $1.50, save for a few select items. I do like to stock up on Kraft Notebooks. They are cheap but well-made, minimal, and most importantly, they fit right in with my aesthetic. Also very happy with my most recent purchase of the 0.38mm ballpoint pen. I've been needing a new writing pen but didn't want to splurge on a more expensive pack of my usual Pilots off Amazon just yet. The Daiso pen will do for now. I don't know about the cosmetics/beauty section but I tend to stray away as I can't even begin to comprehend the writing on those packages. Face sheet masks are a steal and I buy those from time to time. Daiso also has the weirdest little knick-knacks and quality is obviously and understandably not the best. At $1.50 per item - you get what you pay for. No returns and no exchanges. This particular location isn't as busy as the other ones I've visited (Buena Park, Torrance/Gardena, etc). Parking here is certainly easy peasy as well. It's located next to a Burlington Coat Factory store and because these are the only two stores in this particular area, there's always plenty of parking. Just how I like it. read more

Daiso Japan - Kraft notebooks, highlighters, & 0.38mm pen. Daiso, you're the best. - Discount Store Near Me - Arcadia, California

If you never knew you needed an item before, you definitely don't need it now. If it's at Daiso, you don't need it. I visited this store after watching so many Youtubers rave about this place. So many videos were like "such amaaazzzzing stuff at Daiso" or "Omg Daiso makeup haul!!1!1!1!!!" which when you think about it is absurd - you're probably putting straight lead or chromium on your face. You'd never know because the English translations are suspect at best, the FDA doesn't care and Asia doesn't have a gold star reputation for ethical manufacturing of anything. This place is next to a Burlington so right off the bat you know it is a swap meet type of clientele. Not the end of the world, but don't go in expecting Target level merchandise. Anyway, you know how some places pump a scent in so that you remember them? Well, walking in, you're greeted by the noxious fumes of off gassing plastics and the distant scent of a baby that needs changed. Ghastly. So I'm walking around, thinking about how maybe those surgical masks people wear block some of these smells because how can one shop when your nose and bronchials are being assaulted like this? I seriously don't get it. I could hear dumb people exclaiming "omg, this is so cute, I never knew I needed this! Must buy!" Excuse me, but nobody needs some 22 threadcount, $1.50, too short scarf with a ripped off licensed characters print, made out of plastic fleece, that was sewn by a 3 year old who sleeps on a 4 foot pile of jeans on a factory floor, in some god forsaken country. You really don't. And that's basically the merchandise at Daiso. Lower than Dollar Tree quality plastic junk that will be broken and off gassing in some landfill for the next 2,700 years, two months after you buy it. I wouldn't trust anything here to be food safe and you don't need anything with faces, hearts or whiskers carved into the handle. Just spend the money on a quality item that you can use for 10+ years instead of keeping foreign toddlers and landfill employees working around the clock to keep up with your junk shopping addiction. I left after purchasing nada. Moral of the story, it's next to a Burlington, you already know it's going to be a rough ride. read more

As soon as you enter, the space is clean, bright, and very pink. The aisles are well-organized. They do have many, many items for sale, from clothes to kitchen items to food and drink. The basic concept is that everything costs $1.50, unless otherwise marked. It's like going to a 99 cent store, but many of the items are more geared toward the Asian population and many items appear to come directly from Asia. So they do have some interesting things that you wouldn't necessarily find in a traditional store. Prior to shopping here, a friend had given me a delicious piece of milkshake flavored hard candy, which tastes like a rich,vanilla milkshake. That is what attracted me to this place. I found some for purchase - it's called Milkita, and it comes in different flavors. Other than the food and drink section, though, most of the items are not for me. tip - they accept MC and Visa only, with minimum $10 purchase. All sales are final and they do not accept any returns parking - free lot read more

Daiso Japan - Discount Store Near Me - Arcadia, California

One of my favorite Daiso locations. Parking is not quite as much of a pain as at others, also the store is pretty big and well spread out. Huge selection of everything you could possibly need, or not need at all but it is just so darn cute and only $1.50 so you buy it anyways, in every color. Love strolling through here, great house wares, decor, make up, snacks... read more

Of the two Daiso locations in Arcadia, I prefer this one. There is ample parking and the store size is larger. It is on the second level of the Burlington Plaza, so it is best to enter by ramp via Duarte Rd. Although there are several dollar stores in the area, Daiso clearly caters to shoppers who love bright colors and all things kawaii. We have purchased everything from sun visors, place mats, cups, organizer trays, ice cold drinks, and more. By the way, this store is well-stocked with hand sanitizers, disposable and single layer cloth masks. read more

I love Daiso Japan! You can find many cute knick-knacks here. This location is more spacious and less crowded than other Daiso Japan's I've been to. Most items are $1.50 (like other branches). Everything is final sale (no returns or exchanges) and there is a minimum of $10 for credit cards. There is a lot of parking, and it is right next to the upstairs' floor of Burlington Coat Factory. I believe this location has been open less than a month! read more

I'm impressed with the varieties of cheap and quality stuffs they have in the store! Whenever I have the free time to pop by, I can totally lost track of time and can be there for hours. There is just too many things to see! Even for things that I don't really need, I will self-convinced myself to just buy and find a way to use it! And I'm glad I really did when I'm home. Anyway it's just $1.50! =) Tips: ~ All sales are final, no exchange, no returns ~ All items are $1.50 unless stated on the tag that it is $2.00 or $3.00 ~ You wouldn't know there is a Daiso unless you drive all the way up to the 2nd level (top level) of the Burlington Coat Factory Carpark. You can also take the stairs up (located next to the car park entrance along the road). read more

So far the best Daiso location we've been to. We were inquiring to get a specific item waiting for it to come back in stock at the store and made calls to literally 10 different Daiso locations all over town. This location is the only one who called us back when the item became in stock again. Thanks to Leon who works there. Leon's customer service was excellent because he actually called us back when the item became available. Even though some weeks passed by, he didn't forget to call us back about it. Thanks Leon! read more

Yessssss. Awesome, clean, adorable little dollarish store. Head into the Burlington 2nd floor outdoor parking lot, and it's right next door. Plentyyyyyyyyyy of parking (and I mean plenty), free of course. The store itself is fairly large, white and bright, and impeccably clean. There is always fun Japanese music playing (don't understand it, but I dance to it in the sparkling aisles). I've bought a few things from here (would love to buy everything, but can't, my wallet doesn't agree to that). My best purchases were a super cute pink tablet sleeve, some covered ice cube trays, a super cute white and red heart tray, and sparkly cat ears for Halloween, all for $1.50 each. There are tons of super cute things here, both fun and useful. Most items are $1.50, but some are more. I could probably spend at least 2 hours roaming around and looking at all the cute Japanese stuff. Highly recommended! read more

This place is great! I love the selection here, they have a ton of merchandise to choose from at a great price.

It will be rather informative to the people who read this I was just there, and it was 10 mins before the closing time. I was going to take one minute to pick up one thing real quick. They didn't let me in because "their clock is set faster than mine" they explained. read more

One of my favorites discounted store. I find myself lost in every single isle. Store is always clean, well lighted and always organized unlike some of the others discounted stores. Every week there is always something new. I ended up buying things are are very useful. This particular trip I bought a bike chain for my safe box. Other discount stores sells for double the price. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Just FYI...it's on the second floor next to Burlington. I found myself lost and had to call. Employee directed me on how to get there. There were no sign visible from the parking structure. Other then that happy shopping. read more

Woo the Daiso empire has expanded into Arcadia! This Daiso is located where JoAnn's used to be on the second floor above Burlington Coat Factory. Like all other Daiso's, they sell a bunch of adorable random useful things that you never knew you wanted. Everything from cute stationary, to cute piggy banks, cute towels, cute cleaning supplies, cute hair accessories, cute cups and bowls and other kitchenware... They even carry makeup products, car air freshener, lotion, shampoo/conditioner (which smell fantastic by the way), etc but I personally don't trust the quality of $1.50 makeup and shampoo... If anyone does happen to try these products please let me know how they are haha. They are pretty strict about their no food/drink policy which kind of sucks but at least they don't make you throw it away (they'll hold onto it for you at the front until you're ready to go). Card minimum is $10. Great place to just browse around with friends if you're not particularly in the mood to walk around the mall. read more

My mom gave me 6 quarters, so I went to Daiso. .... and the options of what I could buy were ENDLESS (unless marked another price). Daiso is my little sister's dream. $1.50 soooo cheappppp, she says. She loves buying clay and other crafty stuff, but you can literally buy anything there. From meat tenderizers to fake lashes, Daiso has it all. The parking lot for this Daiso is on the 2nd floor of the plaza which can be entered from Baldwin. It used to be the old Joanns. This is a smaller Daiso, so it doesn't have as many things as the Irvine Daiso (hence the -1 star). read more

this is a great store because of great manager. I spoke to Marisol whom is the store manager for this location for 4 years per our conversation. In stead just said no .....we don't have stock. she took charge checked in the back and computer about the status of the item. she always works hard every time I walked in, great customer service. her employees do good jobs too. It must well trained by manager like herself. Marisol , thank you for your great service read more

This place is horrible. Totally ripe off. Purchase an Easter plastic egg here. The egg dropped right after we paid the cashier and cracked, we asked if it can be exchanged. Store manager said No. it cracked because you dropped the egg. The egg was dropped in front of the store entrance. What kind of business ethnic is it? read more

This is my favorite Daiso of all the ones in the area. It's spacious and there's always plenty of parking. Even though it is not the closest one to me I really like going there. They have large aisles and a great selection of products for $1.50, everything from snacks to home goods to beauty items. read more

Has a lot of cheap stuff for a good price. I usually shop here if I need stuff like paper clips, notebooks, etc. they also carry Asian snacks but I've never tried them. I've bought reason glasses, teeny tiny screwdrivers, hair clips and all sorts of interesting things here. read more

This daiso is a Lot bigger than most other stores of this same chain. And it's a lot less crowded since it's hidden away at this second story parking lot that's hard to see from the street. But you can enter it from the la fitness strip mall or from Duarte street. Each side has a ramp to go up to the parking lot second floor and then you will see the daiso entrance there. You could also go through Burlington coat factory's second floor exit where the baby stuff is and see the Daiso entrance next door when you walk outside. Good prices for a variety of cute and you wouldn't have thought of needing this item till you saw it at Daiso kind of things, lol. It's $1.50 for everything except for marked items. They have a lot of those at this store like $15 Christmas trees right now, $3 bras, $ 8 shirts, etc. I think a lot of the $1.50 items are a decent quality for the price but a lot of other items that are cheaper but still more than $1.50 like shirts and ties well you are getting what you pay for. It's low quality and most of its made of Polyester or nylon etc. like the socks are all Polyester not cotton. Everything is no refunds and exchanges so make sure you buy what you want for sure because you can't return it! Great place to get stocking stuffers. They also don't take $100 bills and you have to spend more than $10 to use your credit card. I like coming here to buy their sink garbage catchers, charcoal deodorizers, and cute organization boxes and things like that. read more

Daiso Japan - Discount Store Near Me - Arcadia, California

I am so unbelievably happy that I have a Daiso available wherever I go! Not only do I love the fact that I can get my Japanese snacks for a decent prize, I can get a variety of household goods, personal care items, and organizational supplies in one place! Although it's the same as any 99 cent store, the stores is a lot cleaner and better organized than other discount stores I have been to. This particular location has a ton of parking (which is nice) and it's not as crowded as the one in the Arcadia mall. Along with great prices, the entire stock is so diverse and I love that I can find cute things everywhere! Love Daiso so much! read more

This is your prototypical Diaso... great cheap products that are cheap and mostly from Asian manufacture for dirt cheap. They have every kind of knick knack product that you never knew you needed, wanted, or couldn't live without. How do I know this? Everytime I walk in, I leave with junk that I had no clue I needed, wanted, or my daughter couldn't live without. *SMH* They have it all from chopstick trainers, asian stonewear/ceramic ware, bowls, kitchen doodads, work supplies, odd crazy gardening tools, asian candies and chips, and well more oddball off the wall stuff than I can remember to write here. They took over the old Jo-Ann fabrics shop location, which was why I ended up here in the first place =\, and well I walked in. This location like all the others has a ridiculous line as ppl start to use it. But the goods are identical to the other Daiso's and the set up is fairly standard. The service is the same. The décor is the same. HOLY COW, it's the same as any other location... So yeah if you have been to one Daiso, then you have been to them all... enjoy it if you need something and are nearby, otherwise yeah, I would pass as well... You will spend money on spur of the moment things otherwise... read more

I am fan of Daiso, they had product that most other place just don't had. Quality is not that great but is so cheap. Location: It located in Duarted street, that's the only way to get here. The gogole map was confuse it show is in naomi area but is not. It has all your typical stuff but I finding it missing pet items. Lots of parking space here. read more

I constantly visit Daiso because of their cheap and high quality items. I also like the environment of the store for its bright and cleanliness. HOWEVER, the past 3 visits I've had were very UNPLEASANT because of one cashier named Kristina. I would watch her ring up other costumers FROWNING with a MEAN face! And when it was my turn, she would only say, in a VERY LOW TONE, that "All Sales are Final" and NOT even ask how I'm doing, actually no greetings at all! She also didn't hand me the bag and left the receipt on the counter, without a "Thank You" or "Have a good day", which i thought was very rude! Honestly, it's SO discouraging to go here because of how she treats her customers. PLEASE FIX HOW YOU APPROACH YOUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE IT CAN RUIN THE STORE'S REPUTATION OF HAVING A GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, based on the previous reviews! read more

Oh Daiso. I didn't know I needed a butter knife with a happy face engraved into it, until I saw it on someone's Instagram and became obsessed with finding it. After 3 Daisos, I found it here. Now that I sound like a crazy person, I will tell you why Daiso is a shop I frequent: 1. Cheap cleaning supplies - bath sponges, toilet swishers, kitchen sponges. I am aware that the 99cent store offers similar products, but do they have cute shaped ones? Nope. 2. Snacks. Yes, you have to read the package to check expiration dates. Glico galore - Pocky, Lucky, Hi-Chew.... basic Japanese snacks, but good nonetheless. 3. Cheap ceramics - I buy these to use as actual dishes and jewelry holders, catchalls, candle holders, succulent planters. So many uses! 4. Stocking stuffers & random gifts up the wazoo 5. Gems - these include the toner dispenser that has been very useful for me, charcoal scent removers, toilet seat covers, 0.38 gel pens and this weird clay stuff that my nephews love playing with - better than Playdoh. Large parking lot here and much more selection than the Daiso on Rosemead. read more

Great place to get useful things for cheap. This location is better than the Temple City one because there is so much parking available. Sometimes they have LED light bulbs (that go in your ceiling fixtures) and they are really inexpensive. One of my favorite items is their nose strips - works great and much cheaper than the brand names at the typical drug store. read more

Junko-san was very nice today, though. As I approached the counter, she was on the phone patiently and lengthily explaining to the customer how they are out of masks and was even calming the caller down by suggesting ways to combat virus contraction. She was even explaining instructions given by CDC, how they could also try Walgreens, etc., all in friendly, caring manner as if she was talking to a friend. She finally saw me and told them a customer was waiting. So, two big thumbs up from me for her. She then took care of me just fine and other customers. All Daisos have been good stores for me. The only thing I would say is make sure you want the items you're buying because there's no refund or exchanges! read more

This Location is located on the second floor parking lot next to Burlington. It's hard to find but there should be an entrance to the top parking lot in between Vons and Starbucks. All sales are final, no exchanges or returns. There's no minimum for credit or debit cards! They only accept Visa, MasterCard or Discover. They do not accept $100 bills, so make sure you break that 100 before coming in! They do not have a public restroom, so make sure you bring your kids to the restroom before you go to Daiso. There is plenty of room in this location, so there are carts avaliable, which comes in handy. This store tends to be very chilly at times, but it can be refreshing, especially at this time of the year (Summer :D) read more

Daiso is a great place to find a lot of useful things. These are primarily goods from Japan so they are bound to be super cute. Most of the things here are $1.50 unless otherwise noted. At this location they have a $10 minimum for credit cards. Think of this place as a fancier version of the Dollar Tree or 99 cent store. read more

I've always enjoyed driving out here to this location as it's always well stocked and seems peaceful/not crowded like most Daisos. The parking lot is also very convenient with lots of spaces. Unfortunately yesterday I had a bad experience 7/2/19 with one of the cashiers - her name was Catherine (asian woman) who seemed to hate her job - didn't even smile nor say hello and even just shoved me the receipt "Here's your receipt" without saying thank you. Not sure if she didn't like me or everyone else around her. Bad customer service. The other male employees who work there have been just the opposite and helpful. read more

If Sanrio and the 99Cents Only stores had a baby, it would be Daiso Japan. This place makes cheap look really cute! I have heard so much about this Daiso store from my friends, thinking it only sold accessories. However, I decided to take a visit to the nearest Daiso in Arcadia and I was totally in awe! EVERYTHING IS SO CHEAP! They carry it all, you name it they probably have it. Need a new apron for the kitchen? CHECK. Looking for some new tupperware? GOT IT. Want some nifty new chopsticks? COME HERE. Most items are $1.50 unless otherwise noted. The store is EXTREMELY CLEAN and ORGANIZED, unlike most janky 99cents stores or Dollar Tree. Customer service is also pretty good, I didn't get attitude from anyone including the cashiers. If it's your first time, definitely try looking through all the aisles to see what they have to offer. Just don't get tempted to start piling things up in your shopping cart! I ended up getting some "walking gloves" which are those gloves people wear while driving to avoid getting sun spots on their hands. I have seen a lot of my friends wear those while driving and decided to try them out just for fun. So far, they have worked well and have a nice floral design. Only $1.50! Check this place out if you are looking for good deals on a variety of items. read more

Daiso, the wonderful fun, treasure filled store that reminded me of my awesome trip to Seattle with friends, one of whom is Japanese and sings the praises of this place all the time came to me like a mirage in the desert. I didn't think I was really seeing this one but when I did, I cried out in joy and explained to my sister this is an awesome place. This Daiso had wide aisles and very well organized shelves as well as clear labels of items to be found. There was an entire annex of plastic containers. I was excited to find a jewelry container for $1.50. Having had it for two weeks now, I love it and have to say, after searching for a suitable container to hold my earrings, this is perfect. On top of that, it is incredibly affordable, and I like that Daiso had a bunch of options which seemed more practical and affordable than the Container Store and hardware store options. One thing to note about Daiso, purchases are final so make sure to inspect your items. read more

They have a good selection but I was overcharged by $2. They had a promotion on soda which does 2 for $2. I bought 2, later when I checked the receipt the cashier scanned it as 4, so I was charged an extra $2, so make sure to check your receipts. Also they don't take American Express. read more
