A Fantastic Addition to Rancho Cucamonga! Ebisu Life Store is an absolute gem! I love seeing Japanese culture infused into a city like Rancho Cucamonga. Bringing in these rare imports really expands and exposes the community's worldview and cultural perception. The store itself is super clean, bright, and packed with an incredible selection. They have an amazing lineup of collectibles. Everything from blind box displays like Powerpuff Girls and Peanuts to Hello Kitty homeware, plushies, claw machines, and endless rows of gachapon machines! Their snack aisle is just as impressive, filled with hard-to-find Japanese treats, unique Oreo flavors, and frozen desserts. Whether you're hunting for rare character merchandise, unique snacks, or just want to experience a great piece of Japanese culture, Ebisu Life Store is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! https://youtu.be/93l27h6DD_k?si=TBwQI33cA7ZvbZ-v read more

Japanese 'lifestyle' store located in a strip mall in Rancho Cucamonga. I'm still not too familiar with what that means but I know they have lots of fun snacks, other food items, cosmetics, and anime figures, etc etc. The people here are very friendly and helpful. From the people checking out at the registers to the people on the floor pointing you in the right direction. I will say it was a little hard for me to find the entrance at first. It's right next to Seafood City. I ended up buying a few snacks, some candy, and this ice cream bar that was actually strawberry flavor, but it looked like raw steak lol. I thought it would be fun. I tried to do some minimal research and it seems like there's not very many locations open in the US and I don't know how big it is in Japan if at all. But what I do now it's a fun store. And the price is actually pretty reasonable. read more

Great if you like all kinds of Japanese/Asian items, snacks, knick-knacks, drinks, toys, stationary, stickers, household items, beauty products, etc., you'll really like this store. It's a pretty good size. You can spend an hour here if you really want to look thoroughly. No matter what you buy, they give you these nice handle bags for free. I don't know if they'll do that permanently or not. FYI: This store is between Daiso and Seafood City on Foothill Blvd. It replaced Party City. read more

Super clean store, presented very nicely! Greeted with a refrigerator section displaying lots of cool teas, and various Japanese style drinks (non alcoholic). Frozen foods consists mostly of sweets... would like to see more of savory frozen goods! Then there are the toys. And the bazillion vending machines! Pricy!! read more

When Ebisu life store grand opening, the line was super long. It's a giant Miniso, Daiso, mini Asian snack mart combined! You got Japanese, and other Asian brands soft drinks, instant noodles, chips, toys. You have egg machines, claw machines, ice cream, blind boxes, licensed characters toys. Home goods, cosmetics, stationeries. You will find something here. And you will have to spend money if you bring young ones here. Even bigger boys and girls can't resist. The only downside is the checkout and help will be slow. They are friendly, but very busy. These are just some of most items I can show you thru pictures go check it out! read more

I was at Seafood City Supermarket in Rancho Cucamonga to buy some Asian fruit and jelly cans for my che thai dessert. I noticed it has a new neighbor next door... Ebisu Life Store. If I recall, this location used to be Party City. Upon entry at first sight, my first thought was... is this place another Daiso or Miniso, but just larger in size? Well, it was confirmed with the staff that it is somewhere in between a Daiso and Miniso. Funny, there is a Daiso right next door to Ebisu. Battle of the knick knacks! Nevertheless, Ebisu is unique in its own way. This store is huge with lots of bright lights. Aisles and shelves were clean and beautifully organized. I was here just 15 minutes before closing time at 8:00 PM, hence, I didn't get a chance to stroll through the entire store space. From what I can tell, tons of Japanese snacks, candy, ramen, interesting ice cream flavors, canned drinks, soft plushies, animated characters, and so much more are here to entice and intrigue you. It holds truck loads of tasty snacks, cool drinks, and neat stuff! I wanted to support them so I bought a couple cans of Ocean Bomb drinks. I also got a cute complimentary reusable bag to hold my drinks. Staff was friendly and nice. Definitely will come back to explore more of Ebisu! If you haven't checked them out, go now to get immersed in an endless pool of snacks, drinks, and more! Have fun!! Btw, I was curious what "Ebisu" means. Per Google, "Ebisu is a prominent Japanese Shinto god of fortune, fishermen, and commerce. As one of the Seven Gods of Luck (Shichifukujin), he is the patron of honest labor, abundant harvests, and prosperity." Now I know and so do you. read more

So excited that Ebisu Life Store just opened in Rancho Cucamonga! It's in the old Party City location, right between Seafood City and Daiso. The store is bright, clean, and nicely organized. They packed so much in there - tons of Japanese snacks, potato chips, candies, chocolates, ramen, those viral fruit ice creams, canned boba, coffee, sodas, drinks, and a bunch more. Snack heaven! The employees were really helpful too. I still feel like I only saw a fraction of what they have... definitely going back to explore more. If you're into Japanese snacks and drinks, you need to check this place out. read more

We parked towards the side of Daiso on opening Day to experience the giveaways and the sight of what the old Party City had turned into. The line was out towards the parking lot in the morning for Grand Opening Day of Ebisu, but when we came around 2 pm, it was only lined around Daiso. We were in line for about 15 minutes until we reached the inside. As part of their giveaway, they said if we followed them on social media, we'd get a free tote bag. There weren't any tote bags left. Instead, at the front, the guy gave us two tokens. He didn't specify what the tokens were for... our silly selves tried to use them for the gachapon machines inside. We were absolutely wrong. We had to ask a random working stocking items what they were for, and only then, did we realize it was for the claw machines. When we were inside, we noticed they had good control of the foot traffic, so the aisles were easy to walk through. They had lots of Japanese imported goods: beverages, snacks, accessories, cosmetics, toys, etc. The prices ranged from cheap to outrageous. Unless you're a big fan of certain characters, I couldn't justify some of the prices. We ended up buying cheap snacks and smilies in order to meet the gift quantity of $50. To our disappointment, the "prize" was a bag of deformed snacks (chips, a drink, and noodles). My review stems from the items inside for sale, how the grand opening was handled, and the workers. I think for a first day, they had a lot of guests, and they weren't prepared. There weren't enough gifts, their workers weren't ready for the day, and the items for sale were mediocre. I'm an avid anime fan and a fan of Japanese imports, but this wasn't it. I've been to better Ebisu stores. Needless to say, we probably won't be stopping by often unless we need to buy a gift. read more

Grand Opening is scheduled for Saturday April 11, 2026 at 10am. They are in between Seafood City and Daiso and replaced the spot that was previously Party City. I was invited to come in prior to their grand opening and had the opportunity to look around and shop while they were setting up. They carry mostly Japanese made goods but also have products from Korea, Taiwan, China, etc. They have things from snacks, beauty products, home goods, toys, collectibles, plushies, stickers, and more. People were asking me about prices and to give you examples KitKats were $5.99-$6.99, plush doll pendants were $17.99-$33.49, hair dye $14.99, hand lotion $6.99-$11.99, hair turbans $12.99-$17.99, Sanrio character wobble doll machine series $15.99. I was expecting things to cost a little more because they're imported. I could have spent half a day just looking at everything but everyone keeps telling me to get the Japanese sunscreen lol so I'll be back for that. I'm sure they will be super packed once they open since a lot of people have to go to Alhambra but now we have one closer to us. read more

Stopped by Ebisu Life Store after Jollibee and loved it! The store has a huge selection of Japanese snacks, drinks, and stationery. I spent 15 minutes in the pen section alone because there were so many cute options. I was especially excited to find Ichiran Ramen--something I never miss eating when I'm in Japan. It's pricey at $37.99 a box, but it's the closest I can get to my favorite ramen without flying there. The drink aisle felt like a Japanese vending machine in store form. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I went in a couple of times since the grand opening. The first visit was during the Grand Opening, and it seems like whatever they advertised was a bit exaggerated. For example, they said that if you follow them on Instagram, you can get a free tote. However, when I went, they also wanted me to post a video on Instagram before receiving a tote bag. The current hype is real with this lifestyle store! The products are cute, sure, but they are on the higher price point. Even on my second visit here, the check-out line is still very long! Just have cash on hand for all the Japanese kawaii products, gatchas, and arcades. Also, don't forget to pack your patience as you navigate the sea of people in the store while browsing. Overall, it is an interesting store, but I'd wait for the hype to die down a little before browsing what else the store offers. read more

Wow this place has alot of products imported from Japan. They have a lot of different products from snacks to house hold products as well as amine items and more. You need to visit this place of your into Asian products. The prices are reasonable. read more

I definitely enjoyed coming here. It's new and clean with so many things to look at. I only bought a few items but I'll be back for more. They have a lot of deals right now as they just opened. They are card only, no cash. I took mostly video because there's so much to look at. read more

This place is SO FUN!! They've got all the fun Japanese nick naks!! Feels like DonQui!! The fruit shaped ice creams were yummy, lots of Ramune flavors and Kit Kats galore. In addition the line moved fast and the staff/cashiers were really friendly. We told them we had just been to Japan for two weeks and felt like we were transported back!! How fun to have this place close to home!! read more

Pretty cool Japanese store. Kinda like a Daiso but not really. They have legit brands and a wide variety of Japanese collectibles and figurines. It makes up half of the store . From DragonBall Z to Sanrio products, they have a wide variety of things from stationary to clothing accessories and Toys. Staff here are nice and willing to help if you ask. Plenty of different snacks and candy and they do have vending machines which require tokens that you buy from the exchange machine . A darn cool store to get lost in if you are into Japanese products . Prices are moderate but I doubt you can find another store like this one with a selection and inventory. Great addition to this plaza , so go check it out !! read more

First time coming here. The store is clean and bright. The prices are a lot better than the other stores like this. This store is like a bigger version of Diaso. Plenty of different snacks, makeup, skin care products, blind bags, and toys. It appears to be card only, no cash. There's about 100 vending machines. There $3 a piece. I love seeing the diversity and the community in here shopping on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I visited Ebisu on their grand opening day and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience. There was a long line to get in, which is totally understandable for a new store. What didn't make sense, though, was how they handled the free gift bags. The bags were given out when people exited the store--not when they entered. So people who rushed in and out (or didn't really shop) were able to grab them, while those of us who spent time browsing and actually making purchases missed out because the bags were already gone by the time we left. It felt backwards and honestly unfair. They also had tiered promotions--spend $50, $70, or $100 to receive different gifts. However, just a couple hours after opening, the $100 gift was already gone. We spent around $150-$160, and instead of offering any reasonable accommodation, they told us we could only choose one of the lower-tier gifts. That didn't make much sense. If the $100 gift is no longer available, a more reasonable approach would be to offer both the $50 and $70 gifts--especially since that combined value is still below what we spent. It would have at least acknowledged both the situation and the fact that we were spending well above the threshold. What made it more frustrating is that we could have easily split our purchase into multiple transactions and still qualified for multiple gifts--but we didn't do that because we assumed there would be some level of fairness or flexibility. Instead, there was none. Overall, it felt like serious customers who actually spent time and money were at a disadvantage, while people just going in and out benefited more from the promotions. The store itself is cute and has nice items, but the management and execution of the event really took away from the experience. Not sure I'd go back after this. read more

My sister and I came into Ebisu extremely excited to look around. We are both east asian and were hyped to have more asian stores around us. We were looking at pokemon blind boxes and shaking some of them. There were 2 left of a particular series which both had damaged boxes (picture included), my friend was interested in that series so i sent her a photo of the options. Because the box was already damaged im ngl i peaked inside a little bit. As im doing this a white couple is pursuing near us and grabs the other last box of the series im looking at. Less than 5 minutes later a worker with lots of eyeliner and blush comes up to us, to kick us out for damaging boxes. We are "allowed" to buy the things we already had in hand but had to leave afterwards. She thens comes up to us again to tell us basically the same thing, stating that the owner said it isnt worth the risk. The south east asian female cashier at the front was rly chill about it tho shout out to her. ALSO 90% of the gacha machines are out of stock and extremely expensive. Its $3 for 1 token, most machines were anywhere from 2-8 tokens... insane. PLUS most of the prizes in the claw machines look fake. There was a machine with multiple kirby plushies and one was hot pink while the rest were pastel, but same design/pose/tag. Basically they took the word over another guest and decided to kick us out. They were "willing" to let us buy the stuff we already had. All they care about are margins and I will not be coming back. read more

This Japanese store has a great selection of imported snacks, drinks, and treats that are hard to find elsewhere. I always enjoy browsing the aisles because there's so much variety, and it's easy to discover something new to try. Their blind box selection is also impressive, with plenty of popular series and collectibles to choose from. The only downside is the pricing. Many of the items are noticeably more expensive than what you'd expect, so it's easy for your total to add up quickly. Still, if you're looking for authentic Japanese snacks and a fun selection of blind boxes, it's definitely worth stopping by. Just be prepared to spend a little more than planned! read more

There's so much to look at here but I was mostly interested in their drinks. I got different lychee drinks. They had snacks, makeup and random stuff but for some reason I just didn't care about getting it. But really cute store and I would recommend it to kids. read more

The store is located in the daiso seafood city plaza which means tons of free parking which is always a plus. Now the store experience was something completely different. While approaching, our party was told to wait in line when there's a ton of people walking out and the store was not packed whatsoever. Once inside, they did have a great assortment of products but everything was super overpriced and some displays didn't even have price tags which is always a no in retail. Literally went in and came back out in 5 mins because it was so ridiculously priced and service was atrocious at the door. Not worth it in my opinion. read more

Great store with all kinds of cute things to buy. They had a lot of stuff sold out but still a lot to choose from.

Cuteness overload! Ebisu Life Store is the store to shop if you're into Asian snacks, blind boxes, and character merch (Sanrio, Kirby, etc.). I saw items from various anime series such as Haikyu!!, Pokemon, Dragonball, and Yugioh. My only complaint is that they only had one cashier at the front, so the wait time to check out can be quite long. read more

Place is decent if you know your prices. Do research before coming here. They sell mostly blind boxes from many different popular toy brands in Asia. Some are decently priced and some are overpriced. Prices are clearly stated which is great. They have a good variety of snacks and hair products as well, which I also found to be reasonably priced. Cashiers look overworked and tired. Not exactly friendly but I guess that's how it is. It's still pretty crowded so it's a bit difficult to navigate around, but I'd come here again once the hype has died down. read more

Overpriced as hell they charge 25$ for ascended japan packs not even english cost that much per pack they definitely take advantage of people glorifying japan products its a joke read more

Tried the $24 mystery box because it was advertised as a $40+ value, but honestly it felt worth maybe $20 at most. Pretty disappointing and misleading. The store itself is nice, but I'd skip the mystery box and just buy individual items instead. read more

Yay! All the Japan snacks and cute stuff is here in Rancho! Hair and skin products too.

Good and nice - easy to shop staff is friendly, it was fun to shop here , I would shop here to get the Japan experience

Poor customer service. Overly expensive merchandise that you can find other places for less. We received tokens in opening day and came back to use them on another day because most everything wasnt working. We were told they had changed the tokens because they didn't work. We asked for replacements but we're told they wouldn't do that. What a waste of money! They lost our business. read more

We went yesterday and had the worst experience, The girl working 7/14/2026 in pigtails and wearing white stockings was so rude. As I was looking for products she went right in front of me with out saying I'm sorry or excuse me. I told her excuse me and she just looked at me and she turned around to look at me and didn't say anything. Then we moved to the chip aisle and she did the same thing. She was extremely rude so we left and we put the stuff we were going to buy. If she thought I was stealing then they need a better system because bumping and cutting off people is not it. read more
