I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I shop here. When it comes to Japanese tools you are…read morepaying for quality and craftsmanship. So I take my time selecting what I need versus what I want especially because I don't know when I will have the next chance to return. I easily spend several hundreds of dollars here buying my chisels and other carving hand tools. It's cool that the worker remembers who I am (excellent service). The owner himself takes the time to show me the various chisels that they have and you can tell just by listening to him talk the pride he has for the tools that he carries.

COVID UPDATE for Anzen Hardware. Nori-san is fine, and the…read morestore is open for usual hours of operation. This update is just a reminder that small local businesses are still open. In addition to vegetable seeds and garden supply, there are plenty of home and kitchen tools that you'll use every day of your quarantine isolation. SERVICE Nori-San has always been very helpful with any purchases you might need to make. Now that the store attendance is limited, no doubt you'll receive even more bespoke assistance. STORE ATTENDANCE There is only one person/party allowed in the store at a time. If you're familiar with this small family-owned hardware store, you'll know that there isn't much room for too many people anyway. For precautions of health, just one at a time in the store. If you know what you need, the trip to Anzen is really quick. If you DON'T know what you need, the trip to Anzen can be really easy. I make a regular trip to get professional kitchen knives from Nori-San, and he's always very knowledgable and helpful in the decision. SILLY GIFT PURCHASE: Even if you want a simple silly, but useful kitchen gift for your friends, you will probably find something here. Purchase a KAMENOKO TAWASHI for an unsuspecting friend who doesn't know what it is, ask them to guess what it's for. PARKING Plenty of easy street parking throughout Little Tokyo.

This is my local Home Depot, and I've been shopping here for years. It's my go-to location, and I…read moredon't plan on stopping anytime soon. I know the layout, I know the staff faces, and I've spent a lot of money here over time. That said, I need to address something that has been deeply uncomfortable for me. Every time I use the self-checkout, employees immediately come behind me, grab my cart, take my items, and start scanning them without asking. I've been told it's to "make my life easier," but it doesn't feel helpful. It feels targeted. Especially when I see other customers using self-checkout without the same level of intervention. I'm also aware that many large retailers use advanced surveillance and AI technology in their stores, which makes the experience feel even more uncomfortable when you're already being closely watched. I've witnessed theft in this store before by various individuals, mainly mexicans and whites, so I understand loss prevention is important. But being automatically treated with suspicion when I've never given any reason for it is frustrating and disheartening. I have never had issues with the law, and I'm a working professional who simply wants to shop in peace like everyone else. I ended up contacting Home Depot corporate because the pattern felt like racial profiling. Corporate took the complaint seriously and issued me a $15 gift card. Since then, while employees still stand directly behind me during self-checkout, they no longer grab my cart or begin scanning my items without consent, which I appreciate. I'm sharing this because customers deserve to feel respected. Loss prevention should not come at the expense of dignity. I will continue shopping here, but I hope management continues training staff on how to support customers without making them feel singled out. Do better. Respect your customers. We're here to spend money, not to be made to feel like suspects.

Integrity, and reliability come to mind in my dealings with them. You shoukd know that they are among the most established vendors and have a fine reputation among the many Los Angeles Jewelery manufacturing companies. They are a family business many of their customers are wholesale manufacturers. it is obvious to me that they have a high respect for the relationship that exists with their customers. Their spacious showroom is full of an exemplary variety of professional jewelry manufacturing equipment. You will do yourself a huge kindness to see their selection simply because you might be inspired to learn or implement techniques or processes which can benefit you ant that you might not have understood or been aware of. They have tools machinery and supplies that you would not find at the competitors. Again let me say, they are A + Pluss.

While they did replace the refrigerator, they refused to take any responsibility for the food loss caused by their defective appliance.

Customer service felt dismissive, and no effort was made to help beyond the basic replacement. I expected better from a company like Lowe's.
