It's been like 4 times now that I buy a cd and it turns out to be the censored version lol. It's also a bit annoying because I lose receipts easily so my only option is to sell the cd I just bought, back to them for a small discount on the regular explicit version. Other than that, the prices are not bad and the staff are kind!

First time visiting this place and I WILL be returning to this location from now on! I've been…read morelooking for a kpop store that has a lot of diversity in terms of artists and has a ton of inventory. AND a place that sells individual photocards?? Instantly sold. I don't know any store that sells individual photocards, and it really makes completing collections and sets so much easier. I was very impressed by the middle table they had in the middle of the store that had many binders organized by groups with individual member PCs that you can purchase. The PCs are a little overpriced, but compared to Mercari shipping/fees and other third party sites, the PCs are basically what you can find at retail. You can basically justify Kandy Pop's prices with the instant gratification without waiting for shipping lol. But overall you can basically buy many photocards for the price of one album which is HUGE! I also love that they have a POB lucky draw/gatcha machine that rotates groups/sets regularly for $5/pull or with an album purchase. You can also sell your extra photocards here! If you have large quantities of PCs, you'd need an appointment but if you have a small handful (like I did), they will probably just buy your cards on the spot. They also have a wide selection of photocard holders, deco stickers and accessories, random assortment of trinkets, stationery, and blind boxes. This place is located inside a plaza inside Vietnam town. Parking may be difficult during peak hours but isn't too bad overall.

The 15% end of year discount totally helped too. They also had pickets, but they had a smaller supply. If you need Kpop items in the Bay, be sure to stop by here! The place was packed, so things do sell out, but they have a larger inventory that I can see, versus other stores. As for pricing, I don't have anything else to compare it to. ps - i think i recognized the store owner/manager. she is really nice and helpful!

The vinyls were grouped by music genre. They were in better shape than the $2 piles. The $2 vinyls weren't sorted, so it was fun to see what was available. As we were paying, the owner said that he regularly rotates what's out. Would come back to browse again! I found out about this place when I had purchased a few vinyls over at Minasan in Japantown and was told they were sourced from here. There is a small parking lot in the front, which was empty at the time, otherwise there is street parking nearby. There is a middle school nearby so the streets might be busier when school gets out.

I stumbled across Khai Hoan thanks to all it's flashy New Years flowers on display outside. Known primarily for their footwear, this little shop also carries little giftable trinkets. As a heads up, the shop is quite tiny and although the owners attempt to make the most of its space, social distancing isn't likely to happen. Parking was a breeze even factoring CNY traffic so that is definitely a perk. Customer service was friendly and the gal running the show was very very patient even with my indecisive a**.

We're from SoCal and we're visiting family nearby. My girls LOVE K-Pop so this was a must stop…read moreshop. We came on 12/26/25 and when we walked in we were immediately curious about all the fun treasures we'd find. We saw the life size cardboard cut outs up front and snapped a quick selfie with RM, my ultimate bias! Talk about a score within the first few minutes, so I had a good vibe about this place from the jump! We took a quick lap around the periphery of the store and then worked our way to the middle. There was LOTS to see and the vast majority was official merch! Heck yes! We saw several albums, photo cards, light-sticks, keychains, bracelets, plus more. My girls were having a field day trying to narrow down what they wanted to go home with. I could see the K-Pop happiness in their little faces. There was a Photo Booth area near the front and a table and chairs for peeps to sit while their loved ones looked around the store. I saw a handful of shirts and some signed items. I had to help my girls make final decisions on their items because they were too excited with the overstimulation of K-Pop items. We purchase 8 items total from BTS, BabyMonster and Stray Kids. We walked out with a BTS light stick, some albums, a Stray Kids Karma pop up Seungmin puppy bracelet, a Hyunjin keychain and 6 lomo (business) cards for $253.66. The prices actually seemed fair and you can't beat the instant gratification, but we had to contain ourselves because we wanted to purchase more. I can totally see us coming here EVERY time we visit family in San Jose! Seungmin and Hyunjin are my daughters biases! The staff were helpful and answered all of our questions with a smile on their face, so that's a plus. One employee let us know he'd open the light-stick to check that it worked because light-sticks were final sale. He brought over some batteries, turned it on and showed us how to use it. Very kind of him! This K-Pop store was a fantastic find! When my girls are happy, I'm a happy Mama and feel blessed to give them what they want, not just what they need. K-Pop for the win!
