This spacious shop is very clean and organized which makes it very easy to browse and see what they have to offer, and seems like they also buy, sell and trade items as well which is pretty cool though not sure how it's done but for the true collector this is a great deal and a valuable convenient place to do so, it's not quite my vibe but is a cute shop which many seem to enjoy. Thank you!

Their website looks like it was designed back in the AOL days. Itʻs a bit intimidating and chaotic inside. But I tell you what...it feels very welcoming in here. They take the time to explain things to you. They help you find things you need. They walk you through details without making you feel stupid. Itʻs everything you would hope for in a local hobby store and Iʻm thankful.

There are few Anime/Japanese Stationary stores on the island and JQ is one of them. It's one of my…read morego-to spots when I'm in town to buy collectibles or gifts for friends who love anime. Located inside a small plaza near Ala Moana (Piikoi st.) They share a private parking area with Cho Dangs Honolulu and Nijiya Market. They have a wide variety of items that changes constantly and something new available at the shop. Once you set your eyes on something rare, I recommend buying it instead of waiting because I guarantee you it will not be there the next time you visit. I also advise that the store can get really expensive because these are mostly imported goods from Japan. So spend wisely! Sales and discounts are also provided, but on rare occasions. The employees are also very helpful and nice. They will support your purchase just not your wallet (lol).

Everything is fairly priced as close to msrp as possible and almost never marked up unnecessarily high.

From what I know, the original owner sold the company a few years ago and the lack of care shows. Upon first stepping into the store, you're hit with a wave of noxious body odor that's pretty darn pungent if I do say so myself...and no, this was not a one time thing. The last time I came was a Sat and the store had a decent amount of bodies in it. The first time tho was a few weeks ago when I went in on a random Wed or Thursday. Smell was still there. Employees ignore you, if there are any actually working. The aforementioned trip on a random weekday I was met with an employee sitting at one of the tables playing on a handheld gaming device. He completely ignored me for the 10-15 minutes I browsed and only paid me any attention (clearly annoyed) when I asked for a specific product. And this last recent time on a weekend? I don't think there were any workers. Just people playing games at the tables. I walked around, looked at some stuff but was forced to leave when my son sId he couldn't take the smell anymore. No one greeted us or asked if we needed any help. And that's the kicker. Armchair never used to raise prices and sold EVERYTHING at MSRP. They prided themselves on that and never raised prices even when inventory was low and items were a bit commodity to have. That is, sadly, no longer the case. Nearly everything I looked at in the store had been marked up 10-15%, if not more. Truly sad to see this business flush itself down the toilet like this.
