My doctor found this pharmacy close to where I live, so I went ahead and had my prescription sent here. Before I even visited, the two people who helped me over the phone were so kind, especially Will, who was a wonderful resource of information. They have the option to talk with you over the phone or via text, and both ways proved very helpful. When I visited the pharmacy, I was pleased to see there was a parking lot (finding parking in Little Tokyo can be difficult sometimes). Will was there and was very friendly! I will definitely be having all future prescriptions sent here! read more

Love this pharmacy! My first time going to a non-corporate pharmacy and I'm so glad that they are close to where I live. Very prompt with medication pickups, staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. I had issues with my doctor sending prescription medicine and they were very helpful in tracking down my meds and keeping me updated along the way. They also offer flu and covid shots, I called ahead of time and they were able to reserve it for me really easily. Can't recommend them enough! read more

The staff at Little Tokyo Pharmacy are the best. They are always friendly, super helpful and knowledgeable and it's always fast service and they try hard to make everyone there have the best experience. read more

Nice, little neighborhood pharmacy here in Little Tokyo. I used to use CVS, which was great and had perks. I am glad I can walk to this one to pick up medications, and I am okay with their hours being limited since I live nearby. read more

It's the closest pharmacy to me; which turned out to be very lucky. I love the pharmacy and staff. They are the nicest pharmacy staff I ever encountered in this country. They know me by name, they always have my strange prescriptions ready, and they look out for interactions with other medications the doctors sometimes miss: They recently saved me from serotonin syndrome, after they saw the doc had prescribed something that was a very bad mix with another medication I take. I did mention this medication to the doctor twice :/). Additionally, I'm happy to support a small business instead of a corporation. read more

Highly recommend! They are so polite, very quick with orders/communications and great with communications/calls! I'm so glad they're in the neighborhood. read more

I called at 11:44 today, September 5. My doctor called in a prescription, and the female-sounding voice on the other end told me they didn't have it in stock, suggested I try a chain pharmacy, and hung up on me as I was asking a follow-up question. There was no good-bye, nothing, just me finishing my question and... peace out, I guess. read more

I just moved to Dtla and was so nervous to figure out where my new pharmacy was going to be and I was so glad to find Little Tokyo Pharmacy! Everyone was so polite and helpful. I was also able to find a few over the counter items I needed which was nice, I didn't have to go to a different store like I originally thought I needed to. Very nice! read more

The best customer service you could ask from a pharmacy. Prompt, detail-oriented, friendly, consistent!

I don't usually Yelp but I cared enough to write about this pharmacy. First time picking up prescription from here. Usually go to CVS for it. William, the pharmacist, actually cared enough to explain how to take it and what to except. Been taking for a few months so I was already familiar with it. But nevertheless other chains don't treat you like that. Small business' do. Support them. read more

I had been looking for pedia-lax suppositories in well known pharmacies, with no luck. So on Wednesday I was around DTLA and I googled the nearest pharmacy around and thankfully I found this pharmacy. The pharmacists are so kind and very helpful. They didn't have the suppositories that same day but they took the time to order them for me and having them the next day. They did an excellent job!! Thank you Little Tokyo Pharmacy read more

I really love the staff at this pharmacy - they are so kind, quick, and curteous. The pharmacist on staff is so lovely and she really values your privacy. The technicians work really fast. I always call in my refills, and I have never waited for more than 15 minutes. They also have general pharmacy items like cough medicine and Advil. I would highly recommend them! read more

The staff here are always very helpful and kind, especially the owners (I think they're the owners!). They're efficient, honest, and thoughtful during consultations and I've never had trouble picking up my prescriptions from here! read more

Fast and friendly service .. and they even deliver to elderly folks who aren't as mobile as some others. They are very patient with their elderly customers and the people are just kind here in general. The location is great and the parking lot is open for free parking with validation. Their prices are a little high but they're a local business and they make up for it by keeping their place super clean and well organized. read more

My husband went to this pharmacy. Usually I have to wait more than 30-40 mins for him to get prescriptions but they were fast, it was less than 20 mins! and my husband always asks a lot of questions but they gave him all the information clearly! so professional! I'm glad I found this pharmacy! read more

Great little pharmacy. Very polite and friendly. Small but adequate shop. I pop in during the summer for an ice cream treat from the little freezer inside the door. It's nice to support a neighborhood pharmacy instead of an impersonal big chain. read more

Little Tokyo Pharmacy - Cute little pharmacy! - Drugstores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best pharmacy in DT. Every time I get the same medication filled at another pharmacy it costs more than Little Tokyo pharmacy. They have great communication also! read more

This was from just before the beginning of the covid madness.... early 2020... traveling from NY to LA and fishing trip in Mexico ... visiting the parent folks in Little Tokyo and had to pick up meds for them. Well I've never experienced such great friendly support as I got from them. I say down with giant corporations and hurrah to small family shops. Such great people are Misook and Jin. Next time I roll through LA I will stop by just to say hello. Thanks again and stay safe!!! read more

This pharmacy is racist. They created a policy in order to not fill my prescription and would not answer calls from my doctor to answer the questions they needed. I went to CVS who had never heard of the policy and filled my prescription with ease. Do not shop here. Do not support. They claim and continue to claim to follow some sort of policy that would have prevented them from serving me but I've now been to two different pharmacies that have never heard of the policy. DO NOT SUPPORT. RACISTS! read more

Excellent service at this pharmacy! I've always been met with a friendly face, and I've quickly picked up my pills/medications at the counter every time. Easy and convenient. They also take the time to explain the meds to you if it requires the thorough explanation. Plus, they always pick up the phone (seems like an easy thing, but some places just aren't good about it...)! Free parking -- validation required. read more

This is the best pharmacy! Their customer service is truly remarkable. The solve any issues right away. The pharmacist remembers your medications and is on top of it. Unfailingly polite and pleasant staff. I would never go back to the big chains (CVS, Walgreens). Can't say enough about this place. read more

This is the best pharmacy I've ever had. They are Soooo friendly from day one. They remember your name, laugh at my cute bicycle helmet, refill within minutes and remember to refill ongoing prescriptions proactively! HOWEVR, the very best most wonderful gift was that after a major surgery, I got stuck in rush hour traffic...and they let us pick up essential prescriptions 20 minutes after closing AND gave us a calendar to boot. If you live in or near DTLA--forever about the chain pharmacies and go there!! read more

Really great folks working here. Very friendly and they get your prescriptions ready at a timely matter. Professional and very courteous.

These guys are the best. My mother, who uses Medicare, has been a long time customer, and I recently switched over, too, when I could've gone anywhere else with my PPO. They not only give the best advice regarding medicine and overall health, but they really go the extra mile by working closely with your doctors and insurance companies to make sure you'd have your prescriptions ready. BUT THERE'S MORE. When some senior citizens who barely have enough to pay for medicine using Medicare and Medi-Cal have hard time getting to the pharmacy, they sometimes even make deliveries so that those sick and weak can receive care. THAT'S REAL CARE. There's a reason why I drive all the way to Little Tokyo for medicine when I live in Koreatown. They really, really care about people. Best pharmacy in town. read more

I love this pharmacy. Great customer service, They're very kind and professional. I highly recommend this location.

THE best pharmacy service I've ever encountered anywhere. Mi Sook (I believe that's her name), is the head pharmacist and I also believe the owner of this little shop along with her husband. We've become fast friends now. Filling prescriptions is such a BREEZE. WOW! She handles filling prescriptions with such SPEED & EASE. She really works hard to gain your loyalty and trust. Fabulous! Always friendly, always helpful..... finally I just had to say to her, "When are you going to take a vacation from here?" and she answered.... "I can't.... too busy". Well that's dedication for ya. But she deserves a break folks. Excellent service. Extremely short wait times. Free parking with validated ticket. Better than any CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid or ANY drugstore chain. read more

This pharmacy is the best I've ever experienced. They are friendly, quick and take a lot of pride in their work. I think Mi Sook and her husband own it. All the staff rocks is always happy to help. I typically call on my way to pick up my perscrip and they often have it ready within 5 mins! Mi Sook helped me figure out a prior authorization hiccup by troubleshooting on the phone w my insurance for over 3 hours! Best pharmacy service ever. Hands down. read more

I love this place!!! Awesome customer service and super knowledgeable Pharmacist (Mi Sook). She truly cares about her customers. She works hard to get prescriptions filled quickly, having to deal with no refills remaining on my prescription, working with difficult insurance companies etc. Oh and she speaks English, Japanese, and Korean. Get your parking validated. Oh, and while your waiting for your prescription pick up a CRONUT or some pastries from Frances Bakery next door. read more

Always appreciate the helpful, kind, efficient, and professional staff and their personal attention to our needs. Neighborhood pharmacies are the best. read more

I've been going to rite aids for years and I got some medicine for convenience and I'm glad I did. Pharmacist there is way better then my own doctor. She explains everything in details. High recommend! read more

Hands down the best pharmacy I've ever been to. The employees are always courteous and helpful, and the pharmacists even provide their personal cell numbers in case you have any questions about the medication. Also, the service is fast! It never takes me more than ten minutes to get a prescription filled! read more

This place is the best. Most wonderful customer service you will find at a pharmacy! They are always quick, organized, very friendly and helpful - they even once let me in after closing so I could pick up medication for my daughter the night before our flights. Love them. read more

Mi Sook the pharmacist is a very helpful person. All of the staff is very friendly. It is in a convenient location and a lot easier than going to a large chain store. Quality Service. read more

Hands Down - BEST PHARMACY EVER! I drive here all the way from Cerritos, y'all...that's an hour each way during "those hours", 30 minutes one way at best. Why? A.) The FRIENDLIEST pharmacist! Mi Sook is an absolute delight! She always has a big smile on her face, always! I've seen her on the phone, dealing with complicated issues...still smiling. She's also multi-lingual: speaks English, Korean, and Japanese (that I know of). I believe her husband and her own the pharmacy. He's also very nice. Once I called them and told them I was stuck in traffic and would be there 10-15 minutes past the closing time. They waited!!! What CVS or Walgreens would do that? ** Speaking of which: I drove around for FOUR hours last night, from one 24-hour pharmacy to another from long beach to Anaheim to get a script filled for pain meds because I was hurting so badly. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM either "didn't have" Norco (SERIOUSLY?!) or straight up accused me of forging a prescription! Keep in mind, this is a chronic condition and I've been taking the same meds FOR YEARS. And I've certainly had my meds filled at those shitholes before! I'm now going back to my one and only. I have never felt so offended!** Also- the other staff at this pharmacy are very sweet and courteous! B.) The SHORT WAIT: My longest wait time ever here: 15 minutes. I walked down to the Japanese Bakery and got a yummy treat and it was ready by the time I got back. I've gotten there on several occasions after work just minutes before they close. They never complain and always have it ready within minutes. Another time, a doctor had filled out a script incorrectly and Mi Sook had him paged, spoke with him, and the problem resolved, script filled within 10 minutes. Try getting them to do that at Walgreens! I laugh out loud. C.) Nice selection of other OTC items, both American and Japanese. They now even sell lotto tickets! D.) Okay, this is kinda silly but: after the long drive, a girl sometimes has to pee! They always let me use their bathroom, which is up in the back. (Whew!) E.) Competitive PRICES: I temporarily did not have insurance after getting laid off, and after comparing costs with those other places, the prices were the still the best here. And in fact, Mi Sook offered to order the less expensive of the two available generics for one of them with her next shipment...just for me! F.) There is free parking here. Just get the ticket validated. I could go on and on, I am obviously a loyal customer..,however, I still have a prescription to fill and need to get on the road! Just wanted to give these guys a shout out after the hell I went through last night (until 2am, btw).... read more

Great customer service! Looks small from the outside, but don't let that fool you, this pharmacy has a little bit of everything - a miniature CVS with a small-town feel. read more
