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. COVID PARKING UPDATE - many parking spaces have been redesignated as outdoor seating areas. Judge Also Parking Lot is the best parking lot - across the street.

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.

Out of frustration, I was determined not to cheap out and dug into the options. Ubiquiti had a solid reputation for quality and reliability, so I went about finding someone who handled their products. Yelp was a great resource and I narrowed down my choices to LA Wifi Guys, as their information gave me the most confidence. Made an appointment and David came out. Really liked his approach. Honest and transparent and not hustling me for upsells. He described my options clearly and it was easy to decide what I wanted. Not cheap, but very fair considering the higher quality solution and more experienced installation. It actually cost notably less than my original set up, which was done 6 years ago and had less features and most of all turned out crappy. David gave me an estimate for parts delivery, which turned out to be exact, and we made the install appointment for the day after. He came in and was very polite, careful and steadfast. He also was great at explaining how to operate my new system. But most of all, weeks after the install, I am sooo happy with it! Really great setup with excellent user interface and excellent camera resolution. I've already shared videos and stills with the neighborhood (as we are having coyote issues), and it was so quick and easy to do. A+++ experience all around! Thank you so much, David!

Instead, they took the time to walk me through the system and provided several options based on my needs and budget. They were professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and easy to work with from start to finish. Their pricing was very fair, and I felt confident I was getting honest advice throughout the process.

I've never had this happen before. Even with our other handyman, plumbers, etc. - if you can't do the work, you don't get paid for NOT doing the work. We were told that this would cover gas expenses - why take a job that is out of your network? They knew our address well before coming out. Also, some of our intake conversations were over text, so I wish we discussed the job over photos so they knew what we wanted to do in terms of the job and give us a proper quote. Just felt very scammy and weird after them asking for money without starting the job.

I recently had a terrible experience at a hardware store that left me feeling completely frustrated and disappointed. I went in to purchase a specific product and made my purchase, but when I got home and realized that the product was not the correct size and did not fit the specifications that I needed. I promptly returned to the store within a day of my purchase, expecting a quick and easy exchange or store credit. However, to my surprise, the store refused to provide me with a copy of the invoice for my purchase within a day of the sale, claiming that it was not possible due to their computer system. This lack of transparency left me feeling extremely uneasy and suspicious, as I had no way of verifying the details of my purchase or proving that I had made the transaction within their specified timeframe. Furthermore, the store's staff was unhelpful and unaccommodating when I explained my issue with the product that was suggested to me, which did not fit the specifications that I had clearly outlined. Despite my efforts to explain the situation and come to a solution, the staff refused to exchange or provide store credit for the product. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience at this hardware store. The lack of transparency and refusal to accommodate a customer's reasonable request is completely unacceptable. I will not be returning to this store and I would strongly caution others against shopping there. read more

I had a nightmare experience at this hardware store that left me feeling ripped off and ignored. I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment to anyone, and I urge anyone reading this review to stay away from this store at all costs. I purchased a product from this store that was advertised as high-quality and durable, but within a few days, I realized that it was anything but. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, I was met with indifference and complete apathy. It was as if my concerns didn't matter, and my complaint was brushed aside without a second thought. Days went by with no follow-up or communication from the store, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and call to follow up on the issue. But instead of being met with an understanding and helpful staff member, I was greeted by someone who seemed completely unaware of my previous complaint and had no idea what I was talking about. It was as if my concerns had been tossed into a black hole, never to be addressed. The level of unprofessionalism and disregard for customer satisfaction at this store is truly alarming. I have never experienced such a blatant lack of care and concern from a business before, and I hope that others will take heed and avoid this store at all costs. read more

Awesome way to start a morning, BTW. Thankfully I had my phone and was able to do a quick Yelp search and found Secure LA. The reviews don't really talk about them fixing lock outs, but I figured I'd try and gave them a call. It was around 8am and I was afraid no one would answer (you know, business hours and all) but thankfully, Nick did! He said he could be there in about an hour (~9:15) and that it would be $75. I wasn't thrilled about the wait or the cost, but honestly, what else could I do? I'm glad I called Nick, though, because he showed up right on time (after calling to tell me he was on his way, then that he was outside) and got right to work. He didn't have his full lock-picking kit on him, so another guy Ernesto joined shortly after. Nick wasn't able to pick the lock initially (using his mini-set of tools) but then neither was Ernesto, even with more tools. After traditional lock picking didn't work, they then tried a few other things... something with a piece of paper (?) along the door crevice... then banging a key into the key hole trying to get it to move... I'm not exactly sure what they were doing, but they tried a lot of things for ~30 minutes and at that point, Nick said they had to just take off the door knob entirely and would replace it for $25. NOTE: Nick said that usually they can pick most doors within 5-10 minutes... but something about my lock made it really different and difficult. I was a little disappointed that they weren't able to pick my lock (so you know, I could eat breakfast, feed my dog, go to work...) but at the same time, strangely relieved to know the lock was so secure. I actually needed a few key copies anyway, so they did that in their van while Nick "rang me up" (wrote an invoice and took my check). Total cost: $110 for the lock out, new door knob, and 4 key copies. More than I had expected to spend that morning (considering I shouldn't have forgotten my key and gotten locked out in the first place) but all things considered, really friendly service, quick to come to my rescue, and they got the job done and I was on my way to work by around 10:15. Lesson #1: Don't get locked out. Lesson #2: If you do get locked out, call Nick.
