    Bowls

    Daiso was founded in 1977, with the name meaning To Create Big. It originated from the 100Yen stores that are all over Japan, This location in Long Beach is well run, with fully stocked shelves, ranging from very specific products used for one particular purpose to everyday things that one would constantly have to replenish. Slowly browsing the shelves is like walking through a series of infocommercials...very possible that what you buy was a complete waste of money, but having the risk be minimal since it's only a dollar. When we went to Japan many years ago (before Daiso made it to the US in 2005), 100 yen truly meant a dollar. But the Japanese economy has really struggled compared to the US, to the point where 100 yen is only worth 64 cents now in 2024. Another thing I noticed is how they handle labeling of prices. Both 100yen stores and US dollar stores keep the effort of pricing products low, by selling everything at one even price (i.e. a dollar or 100yen). Of course, with inflation, this is not sustainable...prices need to go up. So rather than having to relabel everything as prices go up, instead Daiso uses the prelabeled price in YEN to represent a CODE..translated to a dollar amount per charts that are found throughout the store. And the vast majority of product has no price...which means that it is the default price of the entire store (which in 2024 is $1.75). Unlike 99cent or dollar stores in the US which sell mostly excess products that you can find in department or grocery stores, much of the products in Daiso are made exclusively for them. Thus, you can find real useful things here, at decent quality. On this visit (which we made only because we saw this store near the place where we had lunch), we ended up getting 2 china soup bowls, loose tea leaf filters, a fat/scum skimmer for soups, a spring loaded glass bottle for Q-tips (or in my case, Glide flossers), and a 10 pack of clasp chip bag clips. And none of them had marked prices, so defaulted to $1.75 each. Even here, they ask if you want a bag, needing to charge you the dime if you answer 'Yes' (that's California). So we always say 'No', and because this time we had not brought reusable bags, used the bowls to contain the knick-knacks back to our car. Would have been a very different story if we had walked, but alas, Brand Daiso is one of those stores that is not within walking distance from our place.

    They carry seasonal items for different holidays like Christmas and Halloween

    Almost like a Japanese version of the Dollar Tree, but with a much cleaner store and higher quality products. Most items they sell are under $10, with many under $5. It's a kind of one-stop shop, with everything from school supplies and gift wrap to household items and snacks. With their low prices and large selection, it's easy to find something worth getting at Daiso.

    I've been coming here for the past couple of weeks to buy their kitchenware. I'm completely obsessed over them! These bowls are not plastic, they are ceramic (I believe), and they are such good quality. Each of them costs $3.25 which is a better price than a lot of places for cute ceramic bowls. There are plenty more designs, and plenty more dinnerware with cute designs. The staff are always kind, I've never had any bad encounters or seen any bad encounters with the staff. I have had some staff members wrap my bowls in paper to protect them, but I have had some that do not. I don't mind either way because I usually only buy 2-5 items when I go to Daiso.

    The daiso discount store is very bright and clean, with very well organized racks for varieties of products. The staff working here are very kind and would help you when you need to find some items.

    I could even imagine if we had this place in our city. Hogh quality items and variety of section for your home based and consumer goods. Great value for what you pay for. It makes our "dollar stores" look poor. The environment has nice lighting and clearly marks signs on the labels of each product marked. It's a place to pick up things you can use on a daily basis. It will be definitely our next stop once we are in town. Give me a few thumbs up below to hep me out and y guy I've me some written and short feedback. Look through several of my pictures and review and smash the thumbs up buttons for the ones you like. I need all of the help I can get. Thanks!

    Daiso has a range of over 100,000 products, of which over 40 percent are imported goods, many of them from China, Korea, and Japan.[3] Many of their products are house-hold items such as kitchenware and cleaning products. Interesting items here , from your everyday run of the mill needs , a few great camping options here honestly found that a big plus. The store is well lit but in a light sense of way. Shelves a d all of its items were all in it place, well maintained, calm and relaxing I might say I stood in the store longer due to the Atmosphere well exploring.

    This location is full of really cool stuff, the staff is always helpful. I appreciate the signs around the store informing you of certain items above the $1.25 price. I'm not 100% sold on the food items, but occasionally I indulge in the unique sweets. Packing in front of the store is available, however, there are more spaces in the larger lot as well.

    almost forgot how much i love daiso!!! it's located in a plaza next to a ralph's so there's tons of parking. as soon i stepped inside i realized how big it was. everyone was very neatly stocked and clean. everything is pretty affordable, nothing too extreme. there's something for everyone here. they have stationary, snacks, house essentials, gardening tools, items for babies, makeup and other stuff. i browsed through every aisle and found some great items! loved the sticker section, there were so many to choose from. the lady in the front who was my cashier was sweet and i felt welcomed in the store. there's also a lot of bt21 items if you're into bts! sanrio items are also featured here. would love to come back again

    One of my fav finds as a gardener. It's like K'NEX but you're building a trellis. NOT $1.50, but $4. Still cheaper than Amazon.
    Monica L.

    Daiso is one of my fav spots to get "stuff" that I know I can find cheaper than elsewhere for the same quality. The Traffic Circle store is my local Daiso. The store is always neat everytime I visit. Kids who man the registers are courteous and attentive. Here are my favorite things to buy that I probably shouldn't because I just don't use them: - Containers, baskets, etc. that are irregular in size that can't hold anything standard sized. Why I buy??? Because they're so darn cute. - Stationary... because I haven't written a letter in years. I buy it because it's cute. - Binders... because I haven't printed anything out to collect in a binder in about 3 years. Now I have a collection of empty cute binders. ABSOLUTE deals that I get and actually use: - Dishes. Usually the plain white ones because I'm simple like that. Plus, my household drops dishes and lose dishes often. I'm not bougie and require a matching set for our everyday use, so this works for me. - Gardening Supplies, like hand tools and gloves. I lose gloves like I lose socks, so to have them for $1.50 in some cute patterns is nice. - Cosmetics. I actually like their retractable eyeliner with a whirly brush on the other end. The latest pic of my face, I used eyeliner and setting gel from The Brow Bar, but this $1.50 Daiso eyeliner works better. Really. - Candy and Snacks. Love these ginger chewy candies in the snack aisle. Price is now $1.75, I think. My kids like Hi-Chew and sometimes I'll pick up whatever seems interesting. - School Supplies. I get my index cards and small boxes to contain them from here. Usually can find an assortment of pens and pencils, clip boards, cute post-it notes, etc. - Socks. Those no-show ones you wear with heels. Yes! I get them here. They last longer than I can lose a side. I've visited Daiso in other countries and I prefer ours because it's always neat, organized and tidy. I don't like the parking here though, especially because Ralphs has high traffic and parking can be impacted.

    Sanrio stuff!!! So much

His name is Jesse. He offered to help try to scan my receipt from my phone, unable to scan my receipt for my phone. He said my only option was to get store credit. I told him no that is not my only option I have the receipt. I should be able to get the money back on my card. He said no we can only do store credit. I persisted and said no there's definitely another way you can do this as a store manager he should know other ways to handle situations like this. The receipt email not being able to be scanned from the system. Has nothing to do with me. I did my part by having my receipt. He took my phone so he can look at the email then I don't know what he did. He pressed some numbers on the computer and copied some numbers off of the receipt and boom the return was done just like that and money was able to go back to my card. The thing that upset me was, he was so over trying to help me out in another way, and just automatically was trying to force me to get store credit when that is not how I wanted my refund, especially with having my receipt I should've been able to get it back to my card I should not have had to push and have to get attitude just to make him go above the the minimum work sadly, I had to throw a fit in order for him to just do it the way it was supposed to be done because he was trying to take the easy way out and just give me a store credit definitely not good service from the store manager Jesse more like lazy and seemed like he did not want to help
