I went in yesterday and there were 2 employees there, no one greeted me. It was silent and awkward as I was the only one in there. Also, the photos are from a few years ago and it looks like the aesthetics of the place had changed a bit from what I was expecting. They had a variety items from sage, to cards to clothes but nothing caught my eye.

Goodies is definitely one of those places that is near and dear to me…read more Once I started to get into furnishing my own space, I really wanted to focus on intentional pieces as well as high-quality without breaking the bank. And goodies checks off all those boxes. Whether it's a beautifully crafted or sourced marble stands, that's a perfect addition to a bookshelf, really great plates, a Matcha set, or my personal favorite, random vases goodies has it all. I would also keep an eye out on their Instagram so you can get their harder pieces, like the ladder, stools, as well as great teakwood, charcuterie boards.

Lived near this store for many years and…read morewent by periodically, because they always had new inventory, amazing items, high quality goods and not expensive, in addition to having a sale section. Nice display of home interiors items, such as kitchen goods, gorgeous baskets, nice ceramics, sometimes ladders. We saw a beautiful leather chair at the front of the store and we were able to contact the seller. had to wait a few months for the color we wanted, but finally got our gorgeous chair which was displayed at Goodies.

We had some time to kill and so decided to peruse around Little Tokyo and stumbled upon this shop…read more They had a TON of fun Japanese gift items and decor like stationary, postcards, kitchenware, maneki nekos, origami paper, and so much more. They also had a lot of traditional items/supplies for tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and kimonos. I had fun looking through all the items as it brought me back to our summer in Japan. Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's. Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for everything animal shaped and soo.... I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy. Haha! Overall, great shop to browse around and find some unique gift items. They even wrap up your purchases in paper bags like they do in Japan. I LOVE IT!

I recently purchased three large rugs for my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The quality is exceptional--they look and feel incredibly luxurious--but the real win was the savings. When you're buying in quantity for multiple rooms, the value here is simply unbeatable. The customer service was superior from start to finish. They have a massive selection of beautiful, modern designs that can fit any aesthetic, and the team makes the whole process seamless. I still have three more rugs to get for my project, and there is no doubt I will be headed straight back to them. If you want top-tier quality and great prices, don't bother going anywhere else!

Jimmy is one hardworking dude, I see him there all the time. This plant spot is great for small gifts like a $10 plant or a thousand dollar Australian tree! They're pretty amazing and he has a great selection. Parking is not that hard. Just drive up college street towards Jade Wok and there's plenty of metered parking north of hill street. That's a 3 min walk. Or try the lot by Bruce Lee statue ($5) or get a slice at La Sorteds and park in their $5 lot. Or go to the atm across the street at Bank of America and get validated. So many options. Of course, make it a day and get a slice of strawberry cake from the famous Phoenix Bakery and latte from Thank You Coffee.

**OK INDOOR HOUSE PLANT SELECTIONS IN CHINATOWN**…read more After eating at nearby Broadway Cuisine, we wandered into this garden shop while exploring the area. PARKING There are nearby lots, but we had street metered parking. Most likely limited, especially on weekends. AMBIANCE A typical Broadway storefront in the heart of Chinatown. The space is airy and bright, with natural light filtering in from above. PLANTS I purchased a 12" watermelon peperomia for $40. They didn't have the fiddle-leaf fig I was hoping to find. Credit cards are accepted. The overall plant selection is decent, and everything looked healthy. OVERALL The staff was pleasant but hands-off, not informative unless you ask. I didn't receive care instructions until I was practically out the door. Pricing leans medium-high (but reasonable), so this isn't a budget-friendly stop, but the quality is solid, and it's nice to support a local, family-owned business.
