My best friend told me about this store so we made a stop here, walking every aisle and browsing the fun items. They have lots of cute knickknacks for the home, for the office and for gifting out. I picked up some cute stickers, little note cards with envelopes for giving out. I purchased four things for $2.25 each which was such a treat. They have two self check out spots for ease of paying your items. read more

Daiso - So many cute things to shop - Department Stores Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

I was excited to hear that they opened up a store in Miami (thanks Ariel W!). We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded which was perfect because it gave us a chance to take our time looking around. I've been to Daiso in Seattle and it seemed that they had a lot more merchandise there. I liked the aisles with the food. I was happy to find some items that they don't carry at the local Asian stores. When we were ready to check out, there were 3 people ahead of us and a line forming behind us. There were no employees at the registers and the self checkout registers had error messages so they couldn't be used. My husband found an employee who was restocking the shelves. Lol, my husband said that the employee didn't seem happy that he had to go up front. While the employee was ringing up the items, his coworkers started arriving. He mentioned to them that he was getting ready to clock out... no wonder he didn't seem happy. A different coworker came up front and cleared the error messages on the self checkout registers which made the line move quickly. read more

We FINALLY got a Daiso in South Florida!!! Located specifically in Miami Gardens area. Yesssss. Every year we head out to Los Angeles to visit family and friends, and Daiso is usually on the list of places to stop into while we're out west. They have about 6500 locations worldwide with 4600 Daiso stores in Japan alone. Daiso is a Japanese discount store that sells so many items such as the following: * Kitchen * Beauty * Stationary * Storage * DIY Supplies * Asian Snacks * Fake Plants * Greeting Cards * Arts & Crafts * Pet Items * Beverages * Bags * Stickers * Stuffed Animals * Notebooks * Socks * Slippers * AND SO MUCH MORE!!! They offer these cool finds at an affordable price. I love going mainly for the cute Sanrio brand items at a great price. They have characters such as Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Tuxedo Sam, Little Twin Stars, Kuromi, Keroppi and more. I love the stationary options! My favorite find here is usually the magnetic bookmarks they sell for maybe five dollars and you can find at Barnes & Noble or other retailers for $10 and up. I collect but I also share with my book loving friends. Magnetic bookmarks are the best! Came here a few weeks after their initial grand opening so it wasn't super crowded. Got some good finds including a black Earthen Pot usually used for bibimbap. Like a ceramic pot. Also found snacks, stickers, small kitchen serving dishes and a few other things. I was good and didn't spend that much money. The line was a bit long when we went to check out but they had regular cashiers on one side and self checkout registers on another side. I'm all about the self checkout as I feel it's quite efficient. Nice spot. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

Daiso is a Japanese discount store founded in 1977 in Japan by Hirotake Yano. Daiso has grown to 3,620 stores in Japan, and nearly 2,300 all over the world. They sell over 100,000 products including kitchen gadgets, faux florals, beauty items, stationary, storage, holiday decorations, cleaning products, snacks, and more. This store opened today in Miami Gardens in Gardens Promenade. If you shop today and tomorrow and spend a minimum of $20, you can get a free tote bag. I have become a Daiso fan from numerous Instagram posts and was eagerly awaiting for a store to open locally. The line was extremely long both to get in and then to check out so I recommend waiting until the hype dies down a bit but if you like discount shopping this store is worth a visit. Prices range from $2.25 to $18. This store reminds me of a Five Below or a MINISO. They have a lot of cute things including Disney items. I especially love their Halloween and snack sections. I have my eye on a few things once the crowd dies down. read more

ABOUT. DARN. TIME! I was super excited to know that they finally opened up a Daiso in Florida, and not where you would think right away such as Orlando, but rather Miami Gardens of all places LOL. Listen, I'm not complaining. I'm super happy about it. Anywho, this store just recently had it's grand opening and is conveniently located in a plaza of heavy hitters from Burlington to Five Below to Marshalls to Dollar Tree, etc. Truly, this plaza is a haven for bargain shopping! And this is a huge plaza with plenty of free parking. Not to mention, the parking lot is also well lit, which is a plus especially since I dislike dark and dingy spaces because it feels less safe. Once you enter the store, there are baskets available, and then you can shop to your heart's desire. There are so many things from stationary to gardening to kitchen appliances and utensils and toys and make up and snacks... truly the choices are endless. Not to mention, the best part is they're good quality for being so reasonably priced. And don't be afraid of not understanding the pricing, because there is a pricing conversion chart available. If there's no price indicated, that means that it is $2.25 but if there is a price indicated, you can easily refer to the chart. Once you're ready to check out, there is a cashier attendant available at the counter or there are two machines for a self-service checkout. So it's super convenient. If you didn't know about this place, now you know. So go ahead and shop til you drop! read more

Daiso has come to South Florida (Miami Gardens) and I'm so excited!! I was able to attend their grand opening because who doesn't love a free tote bag! If you were one of the first 200 customers on their grand opening day, you were able to receive one with a $20+ purchase... and that was super easy to accomplish. Daiso is a Japanese goodies store that I would compare to something similar to a dollar tree or five & below but on steroids with many many many things at affordable prices. From household items to camping to journaling to Japanese snacks, they have a great variety. I always make it a point to visit a Daiso when I'm on the west coast and always get amazing things so I was so excited to hear that there was one opening in Miami Gardens. Opening day was a lot with lines forming well before opening time. We came a bit after opening and were in the back of the line that kept growing but it moved rather fast. Shopping was interesting since there were so many people but I never felt overcrowded for the morning shopping experience. Check out was on a whole other level though with us waiting over an hour to check out as the line wrapped around the store. With that said, I was super impressed with how the staff handled grand opening weekend. Since then, I've already been back on a weekday to grab some quick items and it was a breeze to shop there. I love picking up journaling items and home good items. If you're into Sanrio or Disney, they also have some cute things here! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area and want to check it out! So happy to have Daiso in South FL! read more

Daiso - Tote bag for grand opening - Department Stores Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

Florida never gets anything good but this, I love Daiso ever since I went to Texas. It's like the Five Below but make it Japanese. Located down in Miami Gardens, about 2 streets down from the Hard Rock Stadium. It's in a plaza that feels like it is dead but it's not too bad once you get closer. There are other stores like Old Navy, Marshalls. Walking in, it is bright, clean. There probably like 8-12 aisles, things that range from Japanese snacks, home goods, stationary and even gardening. The prices could range from 2-30 dollars, there are cheat sheets around the store to let you know how much the items cost. Take your time and carefully read, or ask for assistance. Theres so much about this store that you might feel overwhelmed but i promise, this is such a cute, fun and lovely store. They can check you out, but they also have self check out. Highly recommend. Now we just need to get a H-Mart down here in Miami! read more

Daiso - Department Stores Near Me - Miami Gardens, Florida

Finally, I had a chance to go to Daiso! This place was surprisingly clean and big. I was planning to get anything but once I started looking around, I couldn't help but grabbing some snacks I didn't know I needed it. The price is of course higher than the original price, but for you to enjoy what Japanese dollar stores offer, this is it! There were so many cutomers with kids and they seemed enjoying the shopping there. I will be back to get some more snacks! read more

I came here for the first time after seeing all the rave about it in social media. It's an interesting concept and I am very curious on Japan items. However, a lot of the shelfs in the food section were empty. But I understand this could be due to its popularity. I could not tell a lot of the pricing of different items until I got to the register and it was rung up. I loved how neat the home goods section was. It felt like I was in IKEA located in Japan. Once the hype decreases, I will return and hopefully see more of the items the store has to offer. read more

I saw crazy long lines on grand opening, but thankfully when we came a few days later on a rainy weekday afternoon the place was busy but just a short wait in line for check out. I've been a fan of Daiso for years, starting with their stores in Asia, and later in California. So happy that they finally make it to Miami, which is always a bit behind when it comes to Asian trends. There are dollar stores and then there is Daiso. Regular dollar stores make me depressed. Things look cheap and poorly made, and the stores have a vibe that says too sad you can't afford better stuff. Daiso is totally on a different level. It's a Japanese company, and Japan is known for thoughtful, practical designs as well as kawaii characters. You get both in spades here. Shopping here is an adventure, hunting for products that are cute or useful or both. It's a good sized store with sections for food, skincare, toys, stationary, kitchen utensils, storage bins, even sports and camping gear. Compared to other Daiso I have visited this one is actually on the small scale, and some of the shelves are empty likely due to depletion during grand opening week. I am confident the assortment will improve in the future. The 100 yen products are priced at US$2.25, a bit steep as the exchange rate should be less than $1. I guess it's shipping cost and the big beautiful tariff? While there are a few things I hope to get and didn't find in the store (like Okinawa brown sugar and some make up stuff), as usual, we never walk out of Daiso empty handed. read more

Just coming back from Japan last year, was sososososoososo happy to see a local Daiso!!! Daiso is the dollar store-esque of Japan. Daiso was godsend when you're in Japan to pick up anything quick. And now that I have one in south Florida I am happy to shop more here!! There's another one in Tampa, I want to check that one too. Such great products here!! read more

BEWARE Lead and Acrylamide and other cancer causing chemicals in the food. Bought a ton of snacks I was excited about and then read the harmful ingredients in a small black box warning after getting home. Went back to the store and even the staff was shocked. They don't accept returns either. read more

Ehhhhh this place was definitely underwhelming. Nothing like what I was expecting it to be. It honestly seemed like a TEMU storefront. I can't say that I'll be back but you never know. read more

I was very excited to check out Daiso after hearing that they finally opened in Miami. I'd just seen a YouTube video where a creator visited a location in California. It was smaller than I thought, but they did have aisles and aisles of all kinds of household items from kitchenware to fishing poles. I did have higher hopes for the beauty section, but it was limited to half an aisle. Their pricing system is interesting. If the item has a certain symbol on it, then it was $2.25, otherwise the price would be listed on it. Most things I bought were $2.25. read more

Just like being in Japan it's helps a lot a few things cost a bit more that's the only problem

If I could give a - 0 on this store I would as an employee the manager Lina Colli is the most disrespectful American racism person I've met she's abusive verbally and plays with peoples hours and times when angered or confronted. Would also flip everything you would say to her like she will text me to come in last minute then would call me and act like we agreed at a different time little incidents like these happen a lot .Then when the mangers come in acts all nice and respectful but when they're not around she throws things on the floor and makes us pick it up along with using an abusive tone.im disappointed in daiso for hiring these kind of people into such a positive job welcoming job environment which it was until they hired this individual. read more

I liked it alot. It has a lot of random stuff. I went on a Sunday and it wasn't too packed. It just opened. A lot of parking, and other good stores nearby it. It's fun for a girl date to walk around with your Starbucks/boba lol read more

The staff is great and the product selection is great. The snacks and stationary selection sis wonderful. I wish this was a bigger store, since I've been to much bigger Daiso stores. It is a decent size, but I'm excited for a bigger Daiso to open near me! read more
