I've been going to Daiso for so many years, back when it wasn't even in San Diego. Though Daiso has gradually raised the price since then, it is still a great value that cannot be beat in California. Besides being so affordable, the quality is also reflective of Japanese standards. I don't know what I would do without Daiso! I think this Daiso is one of the bigger San Diego locations! It also always has a lot of parking and it has items that are often not at other locations. read more

Daiso - Who doesn't love Japanese stationary - Discount Store Near Me - Oceanside, California

If you've been to Japan then you know this place is super reminiscent of the ones they have overseas. Huge selections of cheap good but with that Japanese quality to them. read more

Great Japanese inexpensive convenience, store with plenty of retail products from floral decorations, gift, wrapping, gift cards, plenty of kitchen, utensils, and lots of variety of personal care and plenty of Japanese snacks from savory to sweet. Service is great, although I only see one person manning the floor, as well as a cash registers, there are self checkouts through scanning yet I only observed one person on the floor and register. read more

Not sure why it smells like poop at this location. There's a great selection and items are properly spaced out. I wish they had location markers visible higher like other locations. I have to walk to the aisle to see what it has. Service is just okay. Self-checkout. They were restocking but kept dropping all the items then restocking them. It made me not want to buy those items since they were all dropped on the ground. read more

This store is amazing and it is so huge! Way bigger than any of the other ones I have been too and so clean. Usually this store gets messy but the staff keeps up with it and everything is clean and well organized. Prices are great for what they offer. There is so much to choose from and I love their household items as well as their back to school items. Will be back next time I am in town read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! NO RETURNS NO REFUNDS NO EXCHANGES NO STORE CREDIT 11/2/23 If you're wondering what this store is all about, I'm here to tell you. First of all, we all love Japanese products like Toyota and Honda, so DAISO was synonymous (for me) with these 2 words...quality and reliability... The store sign, clearly states that Japanese products are inside. The first product I turned over said it was made in China. Ok. It was a little floor mat, with no moving parts, and looked to be worth the $4.25 that it was. It was for our bathroom in our RV. No big deal. I bought all kinds of bins and baskets to organize the drawers. I was guesstimating the size. My guess was mostly right but there are a few things I would like to return, because I bought too many. There are absolutely NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS, or EXCHANGES. So...BUYER BEWARE!!! I came across 3 clocks, all battery operated but when I asked the gal if one of them didn't work, could I get an exchange??? She basically said NO. Everything is AS IS like a used car LOL! For this reason, we will not return and highly recommend you go spend your hard earned money at Walmart or Target. Customers need a way to recoupe their money when the product is defective or doesn't work out. Our economy is shot to hell enough, without more corporate greed from more foreign businesses. I drove her me from my camp site on Camp Pendleton, 2 times. The first time they were closing so I returned the next day. I was stunned at this ridiculous no return policy. The store is clean. The lady that announces over the PA system is annoying as she continuously calls out all the rules. Try coming at about 8 in the evening and she announces closing for the next hour. It made me so anxious that I didn't buy anything that night. Geez!! Prices are fair. The quality of products is fair as well. But, DAISO made me feel like it was some type of privilege to shop there. NO RETURNS NO EXCHANGES NO REFUNDS REMEMBER THAT! read more

Poor costumer service, they even barely speaks English! They don't accept returns cuz their stupid scam policy doesn't allow it even if you literally just purchased it like a minute ago they don't care and they even give you attitude! I don't recommend them! read more

An extremely wide variety of merchandise but no aisle designation so it's difficult to find items. The pricing is a bit confusing, too, though they have a sign indicating the conversion, it was difficult to find the Asian price marked on the package to begin with. Limited food items which was my main interest but lots of small kitchen, bath or personal items. Amazing prices on many things and friendly staff. read more

No issues, until today. I was greeted by. Rude red headed employee. I asked her for a bag and she demanded to see my receipt. I'm like damn, this place is struggling if you need to be an asshole about asking for a bag. read more

I love Daiso. It's an entertaining place to shop because you never know what you're going to find. This particular location is excellent. Everything is cheap and I always find something U didn't know I needed (and probably still don't need but it's cute). read more

It's been awhile since I've been back to Daiso. I enjoy going through the isles looking at unique items. Of course I feel like everything they have can be useful or fun but I try to stay disciplined and only pick out a few items. I don't know of any other Asian stores nearby so I enjoy the food items mainly. read more

Y'all I love this store. I find the best deals and the cutest office supplies that I didn't even know I needed LOL One of my friends brought me here a few months ago and I loved it. We come here all the time now and I try to convert my friends into coming here too. read more

I love shopping at this store where they have a selection of both common and unusual items. I think of it as a high-end 99 cent store, but it is much cleaner, more organized and with a much better selection, and high quality products. read more

Incompetent staff !!! I called to ask for availability of a crochet hook size that I had bought a set of different sizes from Daiso. That Daiso's staff stated that he has never ever known that Daiso carried any crochet hooks! read more

This Daiso location has improved. Before, they had less stuff than at the Mira Mesa location. But they carry more items now. They have Japanese snacks and ramen, too. Most of the store is household goods, lots of plastic stuff. Fun place to see novelty items, popular with young people. read more

Daiso is so cute! This small department store offers kitchenware, cleaning, auto, and school supplies, gifts, cosmetics and my favorite section, snacks! Pocky, dried seaweed, wasabi-flavored cracker mix, and Hi-Chews (in almost every fruity flavor) just to name a few. Daiso's glass storage containers with snap lids are a steal and are perfect if you're a meal prepper like myself! They're priced between $3 to $5! Keep in mind that many of their items are not the highest quality so all of their items are priced between $1.50 to $5.00. read more

Anytime I drive by a Daiso I make a stop. They have a bunch of cute kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, gardening, school and office stuff and also Japanese snacks. The best part about this place is pretty much everything there is under 15 dollars. I got a set of good quality mixing bowls for my kitchen and a handful of other handy items. They are being extra safe right now for COVID, the employees only let in a certain amount of people in at a time and all the staff wears masks too. It's such a fun place! read more

Came here looking for snacks and was not disappointed. Store was clean, packed with good stuff, and the staff was friendly and polite. I browsed the store briefly and then went to the food section, filled my basket with delicious treats and checked out. Needed a bag - $0.20 charge. Overall very happy with my purchase and would definitely stop here again. Also easy to find: close to the freeway. read more

Fun place to shop.....I think that I checked earlier that prices were high...my mistake...prices are good.

I'm sorry but the people leaving negative reviews here need to chill. Daiso is such a great spot, for the record they do honor if an item is defective, and workers are always kind. Love coming here and checking it out! read more

I visited Daiso a few months ago to see if they have Japanese pens and paper that those of us who are ridiculous about writing tools love. They didn't, certainly not Rhodia paper or Hi-Tec-C, but they have an excellent array of other items. I wandered around for an hour trying to figure out the pricing while checking out food items and tidy bins. It's really like a nicer dollar store with a more international flair. I prefer cashiers NOT wearing masks, which do not now and never have blocked viruses. Someone has to tell the truth, n'est-ce pas? But they all seemed pleasant, not sure why some reviewers complained. read more

It's a typical Daiso store with all the low cost items. Some items are pretty good while many of the items in the store are low quality. Then again, at these prices you don't expect much. The reason I come in is for the exfoliating body scrubs (Korean style). It's the Best! But as usual, you never just leave with the only thing came for. You always find few other things. It's not as big as the Daiso store I use to go to in Lake Forest but it's still a good store. read more

I love Daiso. Cute little store and pretty much everything is under $1.50 unless it says otherwise. You can find stuff for your kitchen, cleaning supplies, beauty supplies, some toys, things for school, and some Japanese snacks. It's a decent sized Daiso, not as big as the one in Clairemont or Irvine. But I think it's a little bigger than the one in Mira Mesa. read more

First off, I really really wish they would put a Daiso closer to Escondido already! We drove 30 minutes just to shop here because we love it so much. If you love cute things or things from Japan, this store is amazing. This Daiso is a little small compared to some of the other ones I've been to but they've got pretty much everything. Almost everything in the store was $1.50 unless marked otherwise. I really wish I would have took pictures since their displays are so cute. They have holiday items up front, tons of adorable Disney merchandise, toys, decorations, beauty products, food, and more! Their kitchen section is about half the store and ranges from cute to elegant. Their mugs are just the most creative and adorable things ever. Tons of chopstick options too including large packages of disposable wooden chopsticks. I ended up just getting a few things since I didn't really need much this trip. We really enjoy all the items we got and can't wait until our next trip here! read more

Daiso - Disney Princess small towel and coin bank, hello kitty chip clips, remote stand (we use it for phones), cat mug, toy top, and snacks! - Discount Store Near Me - Oceanside, California

The equivalent to 99 cent city except it's mostly $1.50. I think this place is worth a visit, but the reality is unless you're planning on buying cheap useful stuff like plates or containers it's not worth a return visit. There are cool things here ( usually priced more than 1.50) but it's a different experience than 99c city. An example of something unique at Daiso are the colorful fly swatters. With design improvements like a scraping end and a pair of built in fly tweezers this makes it a must buy for summer. - I don't think any of the food / drink items are discounted. - Not everything is made in Japan! read more

Love this place, cool stuff! Great service!! Taking awesome Covid precautions and great prices!

Super clean store and not very crowded when I stopped by on a Saturday morning. I wish we had Daiso in Vegas! There's always so many great finds! If you've never been to a Daiso its basically the Japanese version of Big Lots where you can find things like snacks, accessories and household goods at low discount prices ranging from $1.50 to $5. You'll always seem to get a basket full of stuff for not very much money. If you don't, you're doing it wrong! read more

Everything is $1.50 +tax unless marked otherwise. The coffee bread here is amazing. There are items directly from Japan. This is like 99c store and Sanrio had a baby and here is Daiso Japan! You can get electronics to handy dandy gadgets to the best snacks and sweets ever! You can even get makeup and false lashes is what I come here for, 3 for $1.50!?!? Best deal ever!!! Great place for quick little convenience store type items and more. Pretty kind staff members as well! read more

I love Daiso!!!! Their stores are clean and organized. I ALWAYS find what I am looking for, and then find things that I didn't know existed or could not find anywhere else, other than to order an extremely overpriced version online. If you need stationary type things, containers, organization items they have 'em. Asian snacks and drinks - have 'em. Socks, masks, inexpensive slipper, garden supplies, kitchen supplies- have 'em. This is one of my favorite stores to browse. I get my steps in here - just browsing- well worth the time and energy! read more

Love the store . Always had a pleasant experience . Unfortunately I purchased an item , when I opened it , it smelled horrible , like baby poop . Not sure if it's supposed to smell that way ... or maybe they sold me an expired item . I will post pictures. read more

This was my first time at this particular Daiso. It is BIG!! It's well organized, have good safety protocols (sanitize in between customers, have a designated entry/exit), & actually have several bottle of sanitizer available for customers. Have a huge selection of pretty much everything you can think of for $1.50, unless noted as a different price. But most items are $1.50. Love it! read more

Fun place to explore for reasonable priced random goods from snacks to cosmetics. Great array of storage containers as well.

Excellent clean and stocked store. Been to several and this one was ranked above other locations.

OMG. This place is so cute. It is very light and clean when you enter. Everything here is $1.50 unless marked. There is probably nothing here that you need, but lots of items you will want. It is the Japanese version of the dollar store. The only reason I deducted a star is that all sales are final. Even so, I will definitely be back. read more

I thought It was a grocery store. But it was more like a random mix of dollar store items and food with a Japanese flair. Bought $70 of random stocking stuffer items. Great selection of chopsticks and organizational trinkets and doo-dads. It was very busy so obviously a very popular store. read more

A lot of fun to walk around and see what cute things can be bought for $1.50 or so. I'm a big fan of the stationary because they always have fun patterns and my handwriting sucks so if the paper is cute it might make up for it... I also dig trying out new candy and am usually happy with whatever I try out. Sure some of the flavors can be a bit surprising but that is part of the fun. They also have cute cups and plates so if you are in need of kitchenware you might find yourself a real bargain! read more
