You can say I'm a daiso frequent shopper. I love going to daiso as it filled helped heal inner child self to get things that I wasn't able to when I was a child. The temple city location is clean. That's something that NOT every Daiso has. I been to most and I can tell a clear difference from a shop that doesn't organize vs one who does. The older asian lady in glasses is always super nice. She handles customers really well and I hope shes the manager because thanks to her this store is one of the well stocked stores I go to. I always opt out of self check-out because I buy a lot of items and sometimes I may overscan an item, so its always still helpful to have a cashier whos ready to scan for you and bag your items up. I love daiso and I hope this location stays. Been coming here since I was 18! read more

Not the best selection of items compared to most Daiso locations. I stumbled upon this Daiso location while running errands and came looking for a birthday card. The birthday card selection is very limited at this Daiso. I didn't browse around for anything else. This location had one cashier on duty. They also had one self check-out machine, which had no line. I was in and out of Daiso within a few minutes. The parking lot had tight, but plenty of parking spots when I arrived. When I left the plaza, the parking lot was full, around 1:30PM on a Saturday. It's hard to beat a $1.50 card, unless you opt to make your own. read more

It's always interesting to see what diaso has, a variety of selection of random things. I ended up getting a cute peeler, used self checkout because I didn't see any workers at the time. Prices have gone up but still mostly fair. The father's day set ups were pretty funny. (see picture) read more

Daiso fills in the gap for "dollar store" shopping left open with the demise of "The 99 Cent Only" stores in that you'll find a lot of staple items here for reasonable prices. You'll find some unique Japanese items, good gift items too! It's always one of the best shopping chains that's clean, organized and a good shopping experience read more

This might be one of the best Daiso I've ever visit. They have a variety of selection since their store is pretty big compared to others. I bothered a few employees to find some items, they dedicatedly try to help me find it instead of kept on saying, "We do not have it in-store." In some other stores, I tried asking multiple employees; some say no some say yes. They might have the best CS in the area. The price is okay compared to before the inflation, but still affordable. I bought a lot and total comes out to less than $20. Will visit again. read more

You can never go wrong going to a Daiso. This location in Temple City is very clean inside and staff are very friendly!! Ample parli g in large lot. This store has it all, and I love that they have everything from kitchen items to make-up, food, toys, small houseware items, Japanese candy, snacks, etc. They have the perfect stocking stuffers, so I bought a few items for the kids. Everything I've ever purchased at a Daiso has been quality. I highly recommend this store if you're looking for affordable stocking stuffers or just want to shop for random items. There's always something for everyone!! read more

Love this location for what it has. Thankfully the back-to-school section was filled with wonderful options. I'm glad to have found the extendable racer pen. I like that. It also comes with the refillable erasers. The only downside, I wish they had more. The staff was friendly and was able to direct me to the items I was looking for. Unfortunately, the current situation with the tariffs, it has increased all the prices up, with the starting base at $2.75. Nothing the staff or the store can do about it. But I still appreciate having These items available out of better price than the local chain stores. read more

Daiso is a franchise of 100-yen shops, similar to the Dollar Store in the U.S. They carry a wide range of products at an affordable price. The company started as a street vending shop in Japan and was called Yano Shoten before morphing into Daiso in 1977. Daiso now has locations in 25 countries. Apparently, everyone knows about Daiso except for me, so I decided to check it out. The store was well organized and stocked. Shelves were lined with cute merchandise & knick knacks from Japan. Of course there were some Sanrio & Disney characters. While browsing around I noticed everything from stationary, kitchenware, beauty items, clothing, and Japanese snacks. I can see why people like to shop here - most items are $1.75 and nothing is over $15.25. The prices are displayed in Yen but there are conversion charts throughout the store to help you figure out what things cost. The day of my visit I ran into fellow Yelper Aprille C. She told me how much she loves Daiso and frequents the store to pick up her favorite mango drink. I did find a few useful items. This location is in a large shopping plaza, so parking is plentiful. read more

i lov all daisos and this one was no different-- plenty of goodies to look at and shop from stationary to snacks to home goods

Daiso has the cutest merchandise from Japan! I don't think anything here is over $15; easy to overspend here. I personally like the cute and practical Kitchen stuff to stationary items. My mom and daughter love it at Daiso; they usually fill up the basket cart and when it comes time to pay - there's NO sticker shock, lol. Employees are helpful at this location. The busy plaza usually has parking available. read more

I can't say I've ever met a Daiso I didn't like and I can't say my kids have either! I did not know there were full and mini Daiso stores, with this one being a full size one. I love that they pretty much have everything here; I'm always surprised when people leave empty-handed. I love coming to just meander and shop and my kids love it because I rarely say no when they ask for something. The employee here was friendly. The store was clean. If you love Dollar Store, this is like the Asian version! read more

This Daiso has a wide variety of merchandise to look through and lots of unique finds! Although, by far the most amazing part of this store was how nice and welcoming the staff at the store were! They were just outstanding in helping customers both check and find stuff and I would highly recommend coming here for the service and for value finds if you want some retail therapy. I came here to get some Hangyodon Blind Bag and needless to say I will be coming back for more! read more

I'm not sure if the popularity of Daisy has dropped, but I find myself going into them less and less over the years. I'm guessing the craze has died down since they first had their stores in the San Gabriel Valley. They've always had low prices and a wide selection of the things you need and the things you want to buy. This store is conveniently located near lots of restaurants, the gym, the bank, boba shops, and other stores. read more

I went. I had such great customer service. The place is nice and clean. The prices are just perfect not crazy expensive very affordable such a large variety of product. The guy even helped me carry my stuff to my car that was above and beyond and I totally appreciated that because I have been having chronic painso I give this place 10 stars for such great customer service and kindness. Everybody is so polite and nice. read more

Good as always, great small selection and odd stuff you can find is useful in life. Special they are getting more location.

Decent enough Daiso. There's a little ramp/stairs that goes to a raised level with some extra items there. Though they did have some Sanrio items, they barely had any San-X (Rilakkuma, Sumikko Gurashi, etc) and Disney items. There were some cute bear themed items but the actual stuffed animal section was a bit lacking too. Might be a supply shipment issue, but since there are so many other Daiso's in the area, this one is just okay. read more

Daiso has numerous items that are made in Japan for $1.50. They also have items that are more than the aforementioned price, but the majority of the items are only $1.50. I have gone to numerous Daiso locations. My favorite one is in Los Angeles. My go to Daiso in San Gabriel Valley is this location when I want to avoid looking for parking at their Santa Anita mall location. I like this location, because it is larger than their Monterey Park stores. It is also easier to find parking here. I always go to a Daiso to purchase specific items. What do I purchase here? Where can you find a package of facial wipes that are made in Japan or Korea for $1.50? They also have the facial masks that are made in Korea. I like their nose charcoal packs that are made in Korea. They have the under eye masks that are made in China. I come here for their Japanese rice crackers, snacks and candies. All those Japanese candies like the Pocky sticks, gummies and rice paper candies are here. I like the gummies made by Pure. For those that like to cook, they have a nice selection of Japanese seasoning products. If you like Japanese curry, they sell a Japanese curry sauce that is made in Japan. I can't always find the brands or the exact items that I am looking for, but they usually have other options available. read more

One of the many Daiso locations in SGV. Not my favorite one but it always has many parking spaces available compared to other locations. This location seems to be well-stocked sometimes but not always. I honestly think one on Valley Blvd is the best one when it comes to stock. Daiso is well known for $1.50 items for almost everything you can think of. They do have higher priced items and price conversion table is everywhere so just take a look to see how much it is. So going back to the items they sell... Some stuff you never thought you'd need it but you do once you come across it. Thats the tricky part. Why? Because they are FINAL SALE. Yes, its only $1.50 but still, it can add up! I never liked the staff here. Lets just say theyre not the nicest people. Havent encountered one single kind individual here at all sadly. Just to add, its no longer $1.50 anymore but rather $1.75. Still affordable though! read more

I haven't been to daiso for last 2 months so I decided to check out daiso on a Friday at 10am in May. They have new Winnie Pooh stuff and hello kitty stuff. Not many people in the store. Most of the aisles are well stocked. I didn't see any masks. Pooh cup lining for shelves, Pooh envelopes, and long face towel. FYI -Monday-Thursday open 12pm, Friday-Saturday open 10am read more

The Employee needs training on professionalism and be helpful to the customers, They kept talking the whole hour I was there standing doing nothing, People asking for help told me if I worked there... they kept talking (which I don't care about) but they talked very vulgar Cursing in every sentence. There was children there too. Bad first time experience I asked the cashier for the manager he said he didn't know who the manager was and he was new. I told him how uncomfortable I felt and he was just none chalant and I said it made the place look bad said "They're ghetto like that I don't talk to them" he was just also on his phone ignoring everyone as well. Everyone was just rude and didn't acknowledge any of the customers. read more

Don't come to this location if catching covid may be one of your concern. A sign is posted at the entrance that there's a capacity of 19 people limit inside the store but no one is even keeping track at the door. I went in and there were well over 30 customers shopping and waiting in line to pay at the checkout. I left right away because I felt too uncomfortable being inside. Definitely will not come back anytime soon. read more

$1.50 for most items! Some things are $2, $3, $4, etc., but they are labeled with a sticker. The cashier (most times) will alert you if you have a higher priced item. This is like a 99 Cents Only Store, except that this shop has merchandise from Japan! There are so many kawaii (cute) things!!! There are many Daiso shops in California, Texas, and Washington. I've just visited the ones in California. The difference (in my opinion) is the location. For example, I think that the one in Koreatown has less selection because it's so popular and busy. The one in Torrance was pretty good, but this Daiso in Temple City (Los Angeles) had the bunny socks that I was looking for! Yippee! I also look for panda items (coin purses, neck pillows, towels, bowls, bags, plushies, notebooks, hand puppets, post-it notes, pens, stationary, etc.) for my nieces... Sometimes there are cables for iPhones. Usually, I can find android accessories. Remember that they do not accept returns; and when using Credit Cards, it's only for transactions over $10. Also - bring your own package/tote bag! Enjoy! read more

Seems like nothing in this store that is of value is $1.50 anymore. It's mostly $3-4. They've raised the prices on a bunch of stuff, which I think is ridiculous because now, I can find the same item at the Dollar Tree for $1. Granted, there's no cute characters on it but at least I know the quality is way better. Another thing that bothers me about this store is that they charge $0.20 for a bag, which I don't believe is allowed. The same bag you get at Whole Foods for $0.10 is $0.20 here. Like a notary who can only charge $15 per signature, I am quite certain that CA retail stores can only charge $0.10 a bag. I find this, principally speaking, really shady. Daiso is a big corporation. They shouldn't be making money on people over bags. Keep in mind also that the store no longer offers refunds or exchanges. All items are final sale. I am no longer a Daiso fan. read more

Worst Customer Service Ever. Don't put their employees on check. It's not worth it. Never seen any store have such rude employees here. They act AS IF they're too busy to acknowledge or even look you in the eye when speaking to them. Oh yeah, forget coming at 7:55pm if they close at 8pm because they will lock the doors on you. read more

It's funny how if it's a 99 cents store we look down on it, but if the price is $1.50 and it's Japanese and a brightly lit fancy store, we all flock to this. Sad to say, but I'm one of these customers. There are some things like candies that you could definitely get cheaper elsewhere, but they have things like makeup, tableware, stationery that you definitely cannot get anywhere else at that price. They've got friendly staff and a great business concept: no returns or exchanges. The narrow aisles make it awkward to go through the aisles. The bad thing is the solicitors standing outside advertising Tenju probably :( Very awkward read more

Lots of household necessities as well as labor-saving devices you never imagined could exist. It's basically a much higher-quality version of Dollar Tree, and with an Asian clientele in mind. The standard price for most items is $1.50. Their kitchen selection is pretty nice. They have many types of chopsticks, from cheap ones in a multipack to a single pair decorated beautifully and made in Japan. There's a ton of different storage containers as well. The price on their alkaline batteries is among the cheapest I've seen, a 6-pack or 25 cents apiece (elsewhere in a dollar store you'd be getting carbon-zinc batteries at that price). One annoyance is that their document-related accessories are all A4 size. No one here uses A4, so you should internationalize your products rather than going for a one-size-fits-all approach. read more

Who doesn't like Daiso? It is like the 99 cent store version of the Asian world, but items are a bit higher at $1.50 (some items are higher, but they are marked if so) and some are better quality than the 99 cent store. This store brings out the impulse shopping in me, as I usually come in here just to browse and end up walking out with a lot of things (things that I don't really need either, lol). This Daiso is located in the same plaza as Guppy House, TJ Maxx & Roadhouse Coffee Shop. There is definitely plenty of parking as well. This place takes credit card, but with a $5 minimum. --------------------------------------- (Update: 2/6/16) $10 minimum for credit card transactions now This store does not take Amex read more

Made a quick stop to buy some socks for my piano bench. Fun to browse. Cool ideas on how to stay organized on a budget.
