    My first ever visit to an Ebisu store and it did not disappoint! We stopped in while charging our car and it's conveniently located in a large shopping center with tons of parking. The store is very large with such a variety of things to shop for. We ended up grabbing some ice cream, snacks and drinks for the car, all of which was so reasonably priced. Was glad to hear that there is a location opening soon closer to home, and we will definitely visit !

    A stationery lover's wonderland- and a dangerous place for anyone who lacks self-control around cute things. The store definitely gives Daiso and Miniso energy, with shelves packed full of Disney and Sanrio inspired goodies. Some items are priced a bit higher, but honestly, Daiso lost a lot of its magic for me after bumping its base price to $2.25. What used to feel like a budget friendly treasure hunt now occasionally feels like a comedy sketch where I'm staring at a tiny plastic trinket asking myself "this cost how much?" Ebisu does have plenty of stuffed animals and the anime plushies with astronomical price tags, though. I had excitedly picked up a medium sized Stitch plushie, only to flip it over and discover it was well over $50. My heart nearly stopped. Thankfully, there are still plenty of affordable gems hidden throughout the store. My personal happy place was the stationery aisle- specifically, the glorious wall of pens. No, these aren't premium Japanese brands like Sarasa or Pilot. They're made in China pens, but they're outrageously adorable. At just $1-$3 each, they practically hopped into my basket on their own. I spent an embarrassingly long time admiring colors, clicking pens, and convincing myself I absolutely needed the extra whimsy. My inner pre-teen was beyond giddy. I'm pretty sure I reach peaked serotonin in that aisle. As an unexpected bonus, I also found corn sticks in the snack aisle- a snack I pretty much inhale. Between the stationery treasure trove, nostalgic snacks, and surprisingly solid skincare section (Dr. Jart masks for just $10!), this store managed to hit every one of my weak spots. The cashier was also super sweet! I can absolutely see myself wandering back in the near future- probably for sunscreen, skincare, and definitely not for more pens. That's what I'll keep telling myself, anyway.

    Late post but was able to visit this location in March before their temp closure. Lots of cool and fun things to look at. A variety of selections in the ice cream section. Prices were a bit high since items are imported.

    Located off Euclid St in Anaheim. It's inside the Anaheim Plaza parking is shared with all the other businesses in the plaza. The store is new and clean. It's a pretty large store maybe larger than the one in Alhambra. They have lots of stuff from plushies, toys, stationery, foods, makeup and among other things. So much to look at you can feel overwhelmed. Overall very nice store would come here for Japan goodies especially the Kit Kats.

    I decided to take my niece and nephew to this place. They have a lot of things. Something for everyone. We walked every aisle. Decided to get ice cream and coffee. There is plenty of parking outside. They have a lot of items. Would definitely come back again an try their other things.

    Ebisu has quickly become my go-to store! It's so convenient, always clean, and there's plenty of parking, which makes every visit easy. The store is well organized, and I can always find the cute and unique items I'm looking for. I end up discovering something new every time I stop by. If you love Hello Kitty and other cute character merchandise, this is the place to go. They have a great selection, and it's definitely worth a visit!

    If you love Japanese snacks, cute collectibles, and unique finds, Ebisu Life Store in Anaheim is such a fun spot to explore. The store just opened recently and it's packed with all kinds of goodies--from Japanese snacks and drinks to beauty products, toys, anime figures, and blind boxes. One of the first things you notice when you walk in is how bright, clean, and organized everything is. There are aisles full of imported treats you don't usually see in regular grocery stores, plus a huge selection of collectibles and plushies. They also have claw machines and fun game areas, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel more like an entertainment stop than just a shop.

    Pretty cool store with a ton of Japanese snacks, drinks, makeup/skincare and blind boxes. They also have a claw machine. If you like sanrio you will love this place. Cashier was friendly and super helpful! They don't charge for their reusable bags which was a nice surprise.

    My kids and I love this store. They have a great selection of everything: blind boxes, beauty products, action figures, building models, home decors, and snacks. I love that they have many Lulu the Pig and Sanrio products. We visit the store at least once a month for new items and to restock our snacks. The prices are reasonable and the staff are very nice and friendly :)

    When people ask why I go to Japan every year, I always say, "It's for the Japanese beauty and lifestyle shops--so I can stock up for a whole year and bring everything back to the States!" Now there's Ebisu, near my home and Disneyland. Same type of store, but bigger, with way more options--honestly, it feels like combining several online shops into one massive in-person experience. From gachapon machines, blind boxes, figurines, snacks, stationery, everyday essentials, beauty products, frozen foods, to Asia-exclusive goodies--you name it, they have it. My kid went absolutely wild over the kids' toothbrushes and cartoon bandages. The sale section was incredible too--limited-edition Kit Kats for just $4! No wonder the grand opening had such long lines. Spend $90 and you get a giant plushie. Truly unforgettable. IG: socalhkfoodies

    I first saw this place online and thought it was just a small shop... but when I arrived, I realized it's actually a huge supermarket! It has a household goods section, an open-shelf cosmetics area, food aisles, a frozen section, stationery, toys, and even a gaming area! I'm so glad I found this hidden gem Most of the products are Japanese brands--either well-known or very trendy--and the prices are very reasonable. Some items are even cheaper than what I've seen online, and you still get the fun of in-store shopping. Also, don't miss the items displayed near the checkout counter! Many of them are on promotion--BOGO deals, half-off items, and other specials. Definitely worth checking out! I think this will be one of my regular shopping spots from now on!

    I'll be honest, when I saw videos of this place popping up I thought this was just another trend passing through. If you've ever been to Japan you know how exciting it can be to visit a store like Don Quixote or Sun Drugstores because they have a plethora of items that just feel like they're done so well. I never thought I would find something similar to that in the states but here I sit corrected with Ebisu Life Store. First Impression Firstly, let's get my first impression out of the way: I was vastly underselling this place from just aesthetics. Looking from the exterior this place looks like it's a cover up for a business that probably went bankrupt in a shopping plaza that's seen better days. Your assumptions to the same state on the inside as the outside would be warranted, but walking in you see there's a lot of effort put in. The space isn't large but they do a good job of making the space attractive. There are brightly colored walls to match the brightly colored lights above. Things do look a little empty here and there, like they're just getting started with this business and that's because they are. They're still in their soft opening phase. Once they fully stock and round out the space in their grand opening I'm sure the space will look more balanced. Products - More like Japan Than Expected Their product selection was much closer to what you'd find in Japan than almost anywhere else I've been in the states. As someone who only came back from Japan just three weeks ago I was surprised to see some products I never expected to see arrive to the US. Their focus seems to be on the gatcha games, crane games, and figurines. They have a vast array of them covering 1/2 of the walls in the store. The prices are decent for the figures although the claw games feel a bit too pricey for the prizes you can win. Their selection of snacks is pretty exceptional. Even with a small size for their store there was a wide arrangement of different types of Lays you would only see in Asia, Cup Noodles you normally don't see in the states, and multiple types of melon soda that was worth diving into. Their bath and home stuff was pretty great too. Though not as vast as a Don Quixote store in Japan they had some products that are normally Japan exclusive such as soaps and bath supplies. One wall, closest to the cashier, is also lined with cosmetics and skincare you'd find in Japan. Again, not as varied as in Japan but still a refreshing selection compared to other stores. Another thing I liked was their ice cream section where they have the viral fruit ice cream from Asia that are shaped like the fruit flavor they represent. They even have some that are discounted as they are slightly damaged when it comes to aesthetics. Conclusion All in all, I enjoyed my time spent perusing the aisles for Ebisu Life Store. I spent more time than I expected and even left with items even though I wasn't planning on shopping. I look forward to seeing what they look like once they're fully operational and shopping here once more.

    I saw that Ebisu opened in Anaheim so I stopped by in the evening and it was packed! The new store location feels a lot bigger than the other location, so I enjoyed exploring the new additions- the arcade, sanrio / hello kitty wall, more snacks & bigger beauty section. I think the blind box section is slightly smaller than the other location, but still has a lot of options! They had a lot of deals ongoing so I got to pick up snacks & beauty products at a really good rate. Highly recommend checking their beauty section- there was some very good quality shampoo and skin care.

    Last weekend, I had the opportunity to learn tufting for the first time!! For those new to tufting,…read moretufting is essentially a texture manufacturing process where you insert yarn into a base fabric to create rugs. The lesson first starts off with choosing a simple base design. Our instructor specifically recommended a design with simple lines and colors to make it easier for our first ever rug, which was around $70. Using a projector, you will trace your image onto the fabric as a template for the rest for your work. Before starting with tufting, we then moved onto a mini tutorial on the ins and outs of using a tufting gun, from yarn insertion to how to create straight versus curved lines. Keep in mind you have to put a lot of pressure on the canvas to ensure that your yarn is being threaded correctly. Going through several practice sessions definitely made the transition to the entire tufting process easier. Starting our rug, we soon recognized how difficult and time consuming the rug tufting process was. Even simple design like ours (a cartoon dog) was a long lengthy process than anticipated and we ended up spending 3-4 hours for completion for one of the smaller size rugs. We were recommended to start from the inside out and using one color at a time, inserting lines of yearn about a fingers width to ensure completion of our rug. Though we initially struggled with creating finer lines, we eventually got the hang of it and were able to successfully complete our rug. Our instructor transitioned us into the final process, teaching us how to trim our rug and prepare it to take home. Personally based on the instructor teaching and supplies available, this class was well worth its price point. Overall, I would say tufting is an impressive skill that I learned for the first time and hope to come again to create more designs!

    We've shopped here many times because we genuinely want to support a local toy store. With so few…read moreindependent toy stores left, we've always been willing to pay the higher prices instead of buying everything from a big box retailer. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was really disappointing. We purchased several items, including three gifts for the same child, and simply asked if they could be gift wrapped together. Instead of just wrapping the gifts or politely explaining the policy, the employee repeatedly insisted that they charge for gift wrapping on items under $10, even though the three gifts we wanted wrapped together totaled well over $50. In total, we spent close to $200 during our visit. The interaction quickly became argumentative and unnecessarily uncomfortable. The owner was present and ultimately wrapped the gifts herself, but rather than helping de-escalate the situation, she allowed the interaction to continue in an unprofessional manner. To make matters worse, when we got home, we realized we'd been charged twice for one of our purchases. I called to have the extra charge reversed, and while they corrected the mistake, I also shared how disappointed I was with our experience in the store. Instead of receiving a sincere apology, I was met with what felt like a dismissive, backhanded response. Mistakes happen, but it's how they're handled that leaves a lasting impression. We genuinely want to continue supporting local businesses like this one, even if it means paying more than shopping at a big-box store. Unfortunately, after this experience, it's hard to justify returning. I hope this feedback encourages the owners to prioritize customer service, because that's ultimately what keeps loyal customers coming back. *also to add at the end of all of this I realized I had forgotten to get a birthday card so I wanted to grab one after checking out with all of our items and they wouldn't accept card or Apple Pay for a $6 birthday card. I needed to purchase something else to make it a $10 purchase or cash only (who carries or accepts cash anymore?) Like in what world!? Of course they wouldn't make an exception. The icing on the cake of a bad experience! This response is back to the owner- Thank you for taking the time to respond. I understand that small businesses need policies, and my review was never about expecting special treatment or criticizing those policies. My disappointment was with how the situation was handled. At no point was it explained that the $10 minimum applied to each individual item rather than the gifts being wrapped together. That had never been our understanding from previous visits, so the interaction was confusing and quickly became argumentative instead of simply being explained. One of the reasons we've continued to shop at your store, despite paying more than we would elsewhere, is the convenience and service, including gift wrapping. When purchasing multiple gifts for the same child, wrapping only some of them defeats much of that convenience. While you mention they were wrapped as a courtesy, that only happened after an uncomfortable exchange, which is the part that left a lasting impression. I appreciate your apology for the duplicate charge, but when I called, I was hoping for acknowledgment of the overall experience, not just the billing error. My review wasn't about policies, it was about customer service. We genuinely wanted to continue supporting your store, which is why this experience was so disappointing.
