    We flew in this morning from Hawaii to see the Stray Kids concert and low and behold a kpop pop up (not Stay). We easily found street parking. Super cute, small, warehouse-y type place with several vendors. Purchased a few items.

    It's always so much fun here. The best Kpop playground and amazing staff. When I go I live to stay and buy from the market, shop and enjoy popups

    Inside

    The service was great. The selection was limited, but he ace what I was looking for purchase. The value was pricey for my budget.

    I want action to be taken care of this girl she was a problem

    There was a fan me for girls set. It was very unorganized. The staff really did not care and someone of the staff end up coming out when someone who was a fan made their own fan line. They end up coming out and making it more messy than I should've. And she basically told everybody that was already in a line off property with the manager told us to get off property and we listen and we made our own fan line and the person that works here came out and basically told everybody in line going by section and section Telling everybody that our line doesn't mean nothing and whoever gets there is basically first in line and basically is free-for-all whoever gets in gets out and I made more of a mess when the manager should've allowed the fans to have their own online that we made to help them out, but they didn't want to And they made it worse for other people who been there at four in the morning lose their place because they told people is basically free-for-all and it's not right and I'm gonna be posting a picture of the lady who started it and hopefully she gets accountability. What she did was wrong And get something solved because she was the one who started all this and I really had a bad experience at hello 82 and I'm trying to give everybody a heads up for next events. Just be careful with the staff. I really didn't have a good time. Just be careful with the staff because they really don't care.

    i love coming here to shop for kpop albums! they always have the cutest ateez and cupsleeve events! kpop heaven

    manager staring into my soul

    a few months late, but manager Keeho was very friendly and gave me and my friends OUTSTANDING customer service. the other 5 workers there that day were also super cute and friendly. the manager said they're from some nugu group called p1harmony and they only have 5 monthly listeners on spotify, and are only working retail to make ends meet. please support them juseyo.

    Orly S.

    i come to hello82 a few times a month for various kpop related events or just shopping with friends. all the employees are super helpful and they always have a unique selection of items. i highly recommend especially if you're an ateez fan (they often have signed albums and unique merch that is not easy to find elsewhere)

    Inside is nicely remodeled

    See all

The owner seems interested in helping people learn about Jazz. He'll be more than happy to recommend some basic albums and engage in a loooooong conversation about music. What a guy! He let me know that he loved visiting with young out-of-towners. I felt nothing but respect emanating from this wonderful human being. I see lots of negative reviews going on and on about how he has dementia! Wow! That couldn't be further from the truth. This guy is a stellar human and needs to have his store full to the brim with people just starting their collections. Well done, sir. You're really something!

    Much like most of these reviews, as a music lover, I was walking by and thought I'd try this shop!…read moreThe owner sitting at the front was so rude and pushy the second I walked in. This man ranted for 30 minutes about how my generation is directionless and went out of his way to point out things about ME (my clothes, hair, headphones) that he believed aligned with his opinions? He wouldn't let me get a word in, which he claimed was my fault, too. Incredibly bitter and insulting off the bat, I actually had to laugh. When I didn't buy anything, he told me to "Go f*ck yourself!" and "don't ever come back!"--which isn't a problem, considering his store will surely go under soon due to the lack of customers within the span of time I was there. Not sure why the owner takes his anger towards the new world out on young people, but it was the worst record store experience I have ever had. Shame, cause the skinny old man in the back was very kind and interesting. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!

And while we didn't find the particular albums that we were looking for, we were blown away by the sheer ambiance and amount of product they do possess. Being a child of the 70's and '80s, we could have looked through their collection for four or five hours easy since I think those were the greatest decades of music with artist who not only achieved legendary status, but even one hit wonders that what have you going back into time. In fact, we were joking with the staff that we easily could have opened and closed the place down by doing an entire day shift right alongside them! The place really blows you away from a 5 senses standpoint as well. The sights, sounds, and smells all hit you at once-and in here and on this occasion, that was a great thing. If you follow a little hallway it leads you into a completely different section into what seems like a another small universe or at least galaxy. Once on the other side of this hallway which leads you to another portion of the building entirely, your met with even more records and additional musical and odd treasures. To top it off, a bar with alcohol awaits you! Lol You can't make this place up! Bottom line here folks is this is a really cool, cool place-especially for those who love classic music, a good beer, and the idea of hunting for what you want. I'd highly recommend this place....just be prepared to put in some serious time for research and for your senses to be able to take it all in.

I did feel a little overwhelmed because there was just so much and I felt a little rushed so I just wandered around a bit. Everyone was pretty friendly and the store was so open and welcoming. They had so many options, from books to magazines, special editions, little trinkets, we always need those and movies. This location hosts a lot of the book signings and it was so cool to finally get to see the store. Definitely need another trip to LA and actually just spend hours here, the ac was great and I like be surrounded by so many of my favorite books.

It sparked my curiosity and reminded me of several books I've read over the years, while introducing me to others I'd like to read. I found myself lingering much longer than I had planned. The store was clean, well organized, and inviting. I never felt rushed, and the displays made it easy to browse and discover something new. That's one of the things I've always appreciated about Barnes & Noble--it encourages you to slow down and explore. I came in looking for a break from the heat and left feeling inspired. I'll definitely be back.

He wasn't like that when I talk to him From my experience when I entered the store, he was just busy looking at the computer. What I did to past the time was browse the games I did saw a couple that I wanted and pick up three of them at the time so when I was ready to pay, I asked the guy if he takes Apple Pay he said yes Then I asked him questions about the Nintendo 64 games for super smash Bros and super Mario 64 he said those are not real. Those are authentic, I told him the games I wanted for transformers, he was about to go to a different section that I didn't found it at so when I realize what he was doing I told him not there and then I showed him where I found it and then yeah so I'm not sure what's up with that Same thing for the 360s and the PlayStation 2 games until I showed them where it was. I guess it might. He has a bad memory of where it is. I'm not sure. I saw more of luck review and if it is true that he is not passion and that depress then yeah you're not wrong. Like what's the whole point of working there if your don't like gaming but when I first saw him and when I asked him the question, he didn't look depressed. He look normal Besides that him repeating for the games and asking if it's yours, that's crazy like one he probably doesn't see the price on the cover or two. He has a very bad memory. But damn, that's crazy way different from my experience when I went there for the first time I guess go on your own risk or don't go For me, the only reason I went here is because I was far away from home and I was gonna go to Ross and I want to look at the area they have any retro games around the area and I saw this location so like why not and headed at that location the price is iffy, but I mean for the games they had the box I can't complain And since he's not passionate for the games, I mean, I don't really care. I just want the games I grew up with and dip Ahh and the only reason I am re-editing my review is because I saw the notification of seeing 266 people from 5 days ago and 139 people seeing my review now witch is the first and never expected anyone reading my review Hope it's help

That was not the plan and once I figure out what I'm looking for I'll probably be back to buy local, as I'm a big supporter of that concept. My suggestion in the future is customer comes first, build the trust and loyalty will follow.

    Unacceptable: Racism, verbal abuse, and physical aggression from staff…read more I had a terrible and completely unacceptable experience at Candela La Brea. Due to an Uber address mix-up, we ended up at this location by mistake. Upon arriving near closing time, we just asked if we could come in for a drink as we believed this was a bar: After being told it was a private event, I calmly tried to explain our Uber mistake. Instead of handling the situation professionally, a female staff member completely lost her temper. She started screaming at us, talked to us terribly, and physically aggressed us and telling us to go away. Given the unprovoked hostility and the way she treated us, I strongly believe her behavior was racially motivated because we are not from America. She tried to physically attack us. Her actions were so completely out of line and unwarranted that even several guests from the private event came over to apologize to us for her deplorable conduct. No one should ever be subjected to discrimination, verbal abuse, or violence over a simple misunderstanding. I highly advise avoiding this place, customer service, safety, and basic respect are completely nonexistent here. To make matters worse, I didn't even say a word to provoke her, she completely misdirected her anger at us just because of other people standing nearby. Being targeted, screamed at, and pushed when you haven't done or said a single thing is completely unhinged. She literally screamed right in our faces: "Hell no! Get the fuck out of here!"
