Most of the items are imported from Japan with a few Korean artisans as well. Brands include Marunao, 1616 / Arita Japan, Jiseungmin Gonggi, Hataman Touen, Kimoto, Kaneko Kohyo, Nahye, and many others. Some of these items are exclusive to ARJ in the US. There are so many beautiful objects for the home, including plates, bowls, platters, glassware, flatware, chopsticks, chopstick rests, vases, kettles, tea cups, etc. Lots of ceramics. Prices are high (some chopsticks are a few hundred dollars) but you're investing in craftsmanship, quality, and uniqueness. There are also lots of items under $100. I have my eye on the scalloped plates from Arita. Online shopping is available on their website. Parking is free at The Row.

Supposedly, they cater to restaurant customers only but I've seen plenty of retail customers there and never had a problem purchasing an item. The best time to go is probably in the daytime during the week.

Once you're inside however, it can feel like you're away from the traffic and it gives off a very calming atmosphere. All the items are neatly and particularly placed. The store carries a variety of home products to self-care goods. Since it's a novelty store, you can expect that some of these items are not "budget-friendly." With that being said, you can tell that all of the items are of immense quality. They carry some noteworthy brands like Aesop and Kinto. If you're choosing to make a purchase just based on quality, you've made a great investment. I had a chance to speak to Arianne and she was well-informed about the products. I wasn't prepared to make a moderate purchase upon first visit, but I am keen on coming back! I only purchased their lip balm and it's currently my favorite product to use. If you're ever in the Long Beach area, I recommend paying this store a visit!

Compared to the "other" kitchen supply we went I think they are cheaper and I found a lot more here that I need! Staff are friendly, I only purchased 8 pcs of the container I need, asked for a little discount they said "if I remember it right" 12 pcs of anything you get, gives you 10% off. Parking is a lot. Staff are nice. TIP: They are located at the basement, I repeat basement! Inside wholesale store, do not make the same mistake like me on going inside the Galleria supermarket. I used the stairs going down from P1. uugh so confusing but I will be back now that I know the place.

Wanting a piece of art in your own home, perhaps? The staff here are amazing! Helpful and not pushy at all. I ended up leaving with a few great unique selects! A beautiful espresso cup, one of their famous knuckle ring mugs, a candle, a matcha bowl, and an artsy bowl / mug for a friend. I loved these mushroom looking pieces in the front. I thought it was for artistic display only, but they also can be used as a plate / bowl! Expensive, but so so so exquisite. If you purchase a candle from them, you can always go back in to get a refill (not sure how much they charge for that). All of the items were wrapped with the utmost of care. Be sure to let then know if something is a gift for someone too cause they can wrap it in its own separate bag for you.

I have a guilty feeling of pity while writing this, but I'm a huge chocolate lover - meaning I've…read morepretty much gone to all the chocolatiers where I live (there are a lot) and usually try to go to a popular chocolate place whenever I take a trip. TAWDI appeared highly rated, but it was also basically the only choice. Walking in to Mickey Mouse greeting you, it's a very homely, organized, and oddly empty shop with some Middle Eastern influence. They are big on marketing for their Dubai chocolate offerings, which I did try. The lady who helped was very kind, offering us each a sample by the chocolate type we liked. As she explained how they make chocolate in the back daily, I had to inquire about popular selections and what some flavors were. Basically, they seem to focus on Dubai chocolates and have some imported goods from Lebanon. While I trust that they make chocolates daily, I have to question how much, what flavors, and what is being turned over, because the sample I ate and the chocolates I opened up later certainly had obvious chocolate bloom, and yes they were stored at an appropriate temperature and eaten on the same day. At the price these pieces were, they certainly shouldn't have chocolate bloom nor taste like old chocolate. The filling of their Dubai bar was nice, crunchy, and moist, but the exterior chocolate shell didn't really have a taste. I am fine with paying a premium for premium-tasting chocolate and often do it, but I would have preferred eating grocery store chocolate, honestly. I'm not sure what others are tasting or whether people reviewing TAWDI are actually into chocolate, but I was disappointed when I didn't enjoy these.
