    BEWARE! White mold lined the entire bottom of the cup. The chips were stuck to the mold
    Lance N.

    I bought Jaga Choco Chips from Daiso and the entire bottom of the container had white mold and the chips were stuck to the mold at the bottom. I didn't realize until I reached the bottom. I called the store and they told me I had to come at a later time for a refund. I asked if I could just send a photo of the receipt and picture of the food I didn't want to be carrying moldy food and a receipt I had to fish out of the trash and do a round trip for a $2.75 refund. They said that's all they could offer. I had to take the day off because I felt unwell after eating the moldy food but that wasn't even a concern of theirs. I am so disgusted by this entire experience. Avoid their food products.

    Average. Decent sized compared to the other Daiso locations I've been to, but this one looked very low stocked. There were barely any items on the shelves, but I guess that's good if you don't like it when stores are too cluttered. They also seemed to have all of the usual items that you'd find at the other locations as well as the same prices. Our cashier was really friendly and nice as he checked out our items. Not bad!

    The cotton pads are great they don't give off a lot of lint

    OK I posted a review for the wrong Daiso. As far as this Daiso goes it's actually similar in that it's a good sized of one of the Daiso stores but as of my last visit, their stock isn't as great as some of the other locations. My favorite locations - aside from the store in Little Tokyo which is just insane - are the stores down in the Gardena/Torrance area. This Daiso on Western is also in a highly congested part of Los Angeles so getting to it is a challenge. Once you do get there they do have parking, which is nice. But as a chain Daiso always has a fun selection of products: housewares, Asian snacks, office supplies, etc and at GREAT prices (most things are around $1.75 US and then some "expensive" items might be like $5 or $10). However I do notice - since my focus is usually on beauty supplies because I'm a makeup artist - that selection really varies by store.

    This place is really cute and there are a lot of good finds that will surprise you. They sell a wide selection of items from kitchenwares, plates, bowl, utensils, and the like to make up, cleaning implements, snacks (chips, chocolates, and candies). The items are reasonably priced. If the item has no price tag then it is priced at a $1.75, there are also price charts posted for each and every aisle to determine the pricing of items. The only con when we shopped today was there was no available bag for the items that we purchased. Good thing, we had an extra bag to place the items we bought.

    Located in the MaDang shopping center, this location of the very popular 'thousand-yen' retail store selling Japanese products, is a great place to pick up daily essentials (along with other things that you didn't know you needed....). It's very similar to the dollar stores that are all around us, except for more Asian related products (which is why Daiso can be found in areas of higher East Asian populations like Little Tokyo, Sawtelle, and K-Town).

    Located inside MaDang Courtyard.There's really nothing to see here other than some overpriced Japanese kitchen & bathroom stuff and candies that you can find easily in other Asian groceries Skip this one & go to H Market in the ground level!

    I love Daiso! Even though most of the items are $1.50, a lot of the merchandise is actually good quality. They were selling disposable face masks located at the cashier. They had shelves and shelves of hand sanitizer at a reasonable price. This location takes safety precautions seriously. All of the employees were wearing face coverings. There might be a line to get in the store because they have minimized the store occupancy. The parking garage entrance is on Manhattan. Prior to the pandemic, parking was a hit or miss. Now, parking is easy to find as there arent a lot of shoppers out and about now.

    It's basically a Japanese 99 cent store. I really liked it. I bought black head removing strips for $1.50 each.

    A Japanese 99 cents store but the items are mostly 1.50 or a little more. Lots of Japanese novelties, snacks and candy.

    We were welcome as we entered the store. At first, it was overwhelming with all the items they have…read morepacked in the store. Once I started looking around I really enjoyed it. They have great stuff and prices are great. The clothes are amazing along with toys and other things. The clothing variety is awesome. Lots of sizes for children and adults. The gentleman Arthur, was so helpful. We will definitely be going back.

    HOW have I gone this long without reviewing Smarty's!?!?!…read more My daughter and I are Art's biggest fans. Every Thursday (which is when Art gets in his pallets of new inventory), she says to me "Happy Smarty's Day!" You just never know what you are going to find here. We have gotten the following items in the past year or two: a brand new Samsung dishwasher (a model that had only been on the market for five months, new in the box for over $700 off retail price!), a Ninja Creamy ice cream machine, Instant Pot lid that turns it into an air fryer, Dyson and Shark vacuum cleaners for hundreds off list price, deck boxes and hose reels for the backyard, a new microwave, an amazing array of plastic storage bins in all sizes for the garage/storage locker...and that's just off the top of my head! Going to Smarty's is our weekly treasure hunt. More than once, my daughter has bemoaned that she bought something elsewhere only to find it later at Smarty's for a fraction of the price. On the rare occasion that something we bought ended up damaged after we opened the box (which does happen from time to time, given the nature of the business of buying pallets of stuff from Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.), Art has always made good and given us a full refund. I am almost loathe to tell people about this store because I want to keep these amazing, secret deals all to myself, but I also want Art to stay in business forever. Thanks, Art! We'll see you on Thursday! :)
