I had no idea the store was closing. To my surprise I found the store half empty, even the shelving racks are for sale. I was still able to get balloons for my friends 23rd birthday. I also managed to pick up next year's Halloween costume on sale. read more

Not sure why the reviews are so low, but I came in at the last minute to get some candles for a birthday cake and was surprised at the number of choices. And while I did want to get a ballon, because of its popularity I knew it was a small chance of getting it as it was sold out I like Party City as you can always find numerous choices for party favors. Give them a try, but you have to plan ahead for popular stuff, but last minute it works just fine. read more

I bought balloons from this location and came back to get them pumped with helium and the lady at the cashier said "we cant inflate outside balloons" when i had bought these here. She was rude and told me that i had to purchase new balloons?? There are "store closing" signs outside... 100% understandable. read more

Haven't been to Party City in a long time and they still have so much variety of things for every occasion. I didn't need too much from here but from when I was browsing, they have a good selection of things and tons of different balloons. I needed Belle for my niece and unfortunately they didn't have a Belle balloon, just all the Disney princesses in one balloon so that was disappointing. What caught my eye standing in line were these balloons that actually looked like plastic beach balls. I really thought they were but they were just balloons. You can actually see-through them too. read more

Came in on 3/4 close to around 1 pm the Latina girl with the glasses skinny is very rude and fake . Asked some questions about the balloons she just get really annoyed . read more

Man am I sad this is closing! I've always loved Party City. Prices weren't the cheapest, but so convenient and so many options! Love that they have pet costumes and holiday themed dog toys too. Halloween things year round was also great for costume events throughout the year. read more

Purchase a number balloon and overnight it deflated, went back to store and the manager wouldn't inflate, she was very rude. Went to the Tustin store and they inflated it without any issues. Paid $14 for one number balloon, they have the same ballon at dollar store for $5 read more

Customer service Manager can be kind not annoyed when customer questions cancellation of entire order even partial order available This location is not up to date with inventory and mark as customer cancelled instead of marking as store cancel read more

Horrible customer service and the manager "Maribel" is so unprofessional and rude. I asked if I can get the cooperate number and she said I can look it up on my phone myself . She did not want to return any of items which I had my original receipt and haven't been past the 30 or 7 days. Then she had the audacity to asked me what I used the items for or why did I purchase it like why do you care as long as I have the receipt you shouldn't be questioning me. I will be calling cooperate on her and the other employee Vanessa. I can see why they have bad reviews because their customer service sucks especially that "manger" Maribel I've seen couple bad reviews for her and I can see why now !! I wish I can give a 0 star. The fact that I see complaints of Maribel and Vanessa says a lot about them. Also Maribel said she's a manager but in her name just says team member lol read more

Never seen someone react to a review. People are entitled to their opinions. But I think I hit a nerve mentioning the name of the rep. Might be her friend, family, or even the rep herself on a made up account. Someone name Ana O. But yet she reviews that dominos is crap cuz they didn't want to cancel her order. I am returning balloon bases and balloons, you are talking about canceling a food order which is way different. You can't take the pizza out the oven when it's already there. I am just updating this review since someone took the time to respond to my 2-3 month post. read more

WARNING!! if you buy latex balloons and get them filled with helium, they only last 6-8 hours. I had purchased a bag of 6 confetti filled latex balloons.. I had them filled up with helium the evening before the party because I had a really packed schedule the next day. I was so disappointed when I found them on the ground the next morning. These were for my 3 year old niece who loves balloons. Stressed and inconvenienced between work calls, I rushed back to Party City to see if they could blow up 3 new ones. They said I would have to pay again. I spoke to the manager, Rosa. Expressed my disappointment and told her that nobody ever told me the latex balloons would only last up to 6 to 8 hours. I was use to Mylar balloons that can last up to weeks. Rosa went ahead and blew up three new balloons for me. Thank you Rosa!!! Much appreciated. read more

They were open on time and Hailey helped me - she was great. Super cute balloon options with confetti inside. I would go early read more

Horrible horrendous customer service false advertising to get people at the counter and then be rude and tell them no and then when there wrong they still said I don't care i'll fix the sign and move it later !!!! I give it a year before these are out of business but they should keep current customers coming the manager was so rude and I will never come back I would rather to amazon and shein then come here for any thing read more

Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable staff. I would recommend the store on Bristol for fast and efficient service.

I'd like to recognize Robert from store #76. Upon walking in to pick up my online order, I realized I was being followed by a strange man. He began to follow my son and I down the aisles. It even looked like he was recording us. I approached Robert about my online order. Not only did he provide exceptional customer service while retrieving my order, but when I expressed my concerns about the man who was following us, he reassured me that everything would be okay. He checked the store to make sure the man had left. He even walked us to my vehicle so that I felt comfortable leaving the store. He could tell I was very frightened by the situation. Robert deserves to be recognized and rewarded for his outstanding customer service and kindness. Thank you so much Robert! We really appreciate you. read more

A FASCINATING WONDERLAND OF COLORFUL PARTY SUPPLIES. Party City on Bristol Avenue is across the street from a humongous and glitzy shopping mall, located in Costa Mesa. The "shopping experience" at Party City and at this huge shopping mall are fascinating places to visit. This is in contrast to the down-in-the-dumps shopping experience that is found along most of nearby Main Street, and found for much of the distance north on Bristol Street, to the north of West Segerstrom. I have been inside Party City on about six occasions, sometimes merely out of curiosity and amusement, because of the huge assortment of party supplies, small toys an novelties, and costumes. On three occasions, I bought party balloons. I buy the large balloons, and I get them filled with helium, and I pay a small amount extra to have the insides of the balloons coated with latex to reduce helium leakage. Also, I always buy about 15 of the balloons, and I choose an assortment of various colors. Then, I store all of the balloons overnight in my 2011 Honda Fit, and at three o'clock in the morning, I drive out to the desert to do photography. Also, I always coordinate my purchase of the helium balloons with a purchase of a decorated birthday cake, from Von's, which is located on Bristol, across the street from Party City. The attached three photographs show what I do with the helium-filled birthday balloons from Party City. I use them for birthday parties in the desert. Who attends these parties? What you can see in these photographs is a green lizard, a tall doll in a pink dress, a short doll named Strawberry Shortcake, and a little brown dog. To conclude, Party City is an efficient and very convenient place to purchase huge helium filled balloons. Also, Party City is a fun place to visit, because the novelties, party favors, and costumes are like eye candy, even if you don't have any immediate need to buy anything. read more

Came in on The Saturday before Valentine's Day for Balloons and had an issue with my purchase a couple of days later. I spoke with the manager and he went out of his way to correct my issue.

I came into this party city because it's only 5min away from my house. The service is terrible. I came in and there were 4 people behind the counter talking amongst themselves. One was with a customer and two were having a discussion about a transaction (understandable) and the other was just walking back and forth. I waited about 5minutes before they finally acknowledged me. I placed an order for balloons to be blown up and then she informed me to choose other balloons that I wanted. While I was choosing she just left. Another lady told me I had to go back in line and order the exact same thing I ordered already. Then I proceeded to get my balloons blown up and I just watched the person who was suppose to blow my balloons up finish her text before helping me. I then proceeded to watch her overinflated some balloons and one literally popped. Then in the middle of inflating she left to go help another customer. I will be driving to a further party city or party store in the future. read more

Due to work-from-home orders, I've been coming here to buy decor for my place to make the place look cool for virtual events with friends. I honestly can say that EVERY TIME I've been here I've been treated with respect, and all staff members are helpful and nice. I like this store. read more

Picked up a large number "5" helium balloon here, gold color for $11.99. They sell number candles for $0.99. Easy & convenient to purchase!

I completely HATE driving out of my way to a place and their hours are in correct I get there and the door says 8:00 but the app says 8:30. What a waste of my time and out of options. Thank you to Evers fault this is. Complete disregard of peoples time , energy and worst of all GAS! read more

Very poor customer service. Was placed on by Vanessa for over 10 minutes for her to say she didn't even check if they had an I item in stock. I asked if I should call back or if she can take my number and she said no just wait.. and got left waiting longer. read more

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews for this location the employees are so helpful on last minute balloons we need . Even if I am there 3 minutes before closing they help me when I expect a no last minute balloons option. Just chill We expect a lot from the middle men and women of retail and customer service they don't make up the company rules they just follow them and tell us. read more

Like most Party Cities, you have aisles and aisles of each color of the rainbow filled with all the cheap party supplies you could imagine. On Halloween, which is when we came here, they also had several aisles dedicated entirely to cheap costumes. Many were for kids, but they had a few things for adults. As should be expected, when you come three days before Halloween it gets pretty crowded. They kept the line moving but most people that worked there didn't look too happy. Overall, I'd say it's one of those places you go when all you care about it how cheap the stuff is, and you're willing to sacrifice things like quality and customer service to save money. read more

I'm so mad I can't even write this. The two females I talked to yesterday are either lazy or just clueless about their inventory. I have spent two days looking for a specific high school balloon and all they had to do was look to see if they carried it. The balloon area is not too far from the counter where the phone is. They told me - "we only have what you see online." I told them I had heard that party city will carry the balloons for the high schools in the area. They said "only what is online". I checked the webpage and no balloons for the high schools. Bummer. I didn't like their attitudes and decided to just go to the next closest store to me which is Orange and spend money on balloons that I'm not satisfied with because they don't have his school. Long story short - this store on Bristol has the high school balloon I'm looking for - and I found out from a friend that was in there that they had them but you have to go in and buy it. No problem. Why didn't the females i talk to tell me they carried this specific high school? They could've just said I had to come in and order it. Fine! So tired of crappy customer service. And I'm really ticked off. read more

Ran in here on a whim this afternoon, looking for candy and other items appropriate for an adult's birthday celebration. The aisles were spacious, tidy, and generally well-stocked with a wide selection of different holidays, themes, or flavors. Much of what is there was constructed of plastic, and seemed overpriced for what you ultimately get. Unfortunately, while the candy-sorted-by-color idea is a nifty one, they do not stock the item I needed most. Still, managed to get a few ideas for small items useful for future celebrations. I think the biggest draw would be the helium balloons. Loads of balloons! read more

Day 5, Unbelievable shitty job! Again, I've never seen the foil balloon drop before the latex... remember I've pay extra for high float! The workers dont give a DAM!! read more

Wow. All these reviews reflect on customer service being horrible during the Halloween holiday, and its only obvious that with crowds and high demand, who wouldn't be grumpy? Hasn't everyone worked in retail at one time in their life?? Maybe, or maybe not, but being that it is Party City, and its all about those Party items, its definitely a hit or miss with everything...so take a deep breath and just go with it.. I came to this location a few times prior to Halloween to get those last minute decorations and costumes. The place was a total madhouse of course, but the last time I came was an early Saturday morning where I took another stab at getting the essentials I needed. Staff was alert and ready to assist. I had to wait in a long line of course, but the customer service I received at the check out was superb! The cashier named "Cameron" was very helpful. When I had mentioned to him about a costume size and availability, he was willing to go the extra mile in searching the back area for my size. He also assisted my hubbster in finding some hard to find Halloween decor. Great job sir! Thank you. Perks: Store is fairly clean and organized. Items seem to be well stocked. Balloons are available for every occasion. Downsides: On most holidays including Halloween and Christmas time it could be short staffed, extremely busy and have non acceptable service. Its a hit or miss, so be prepared to hustle and bustle. Oh and with this location: PARKING here sucks! Be careful. OverALL: Party on people! Good place to check out party items in person rather online. read more

I got a singular orange balloon with the high float solution ((to make it last 24 hours)) a couple days before Halloween. But as days went by, the balloon still floated. Day in and day out, the balloon would still hang around in the living room. My roommate and I grew an attachment to him. We began dressing him everyday, we even gave him a name. Balloony is now 4 weeks old, and still going on strong. My roommate and I are proud parents, and we are planning to enroll him in school soon. So thank you Party City for not only giving me a balloon, but a son. A Family. Love. read more

Party City - Our beautiful son - Party Supplies Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This is my second time here in the last week. It's almost Halloween and they have only two cashiers. Line takes forever! Why in the midst of a big holiday would you have only two cashiers who also have to answer the phone? At least this time they have a balloon person. Last week there wasn't anyone manning that post, leaving only one cashier to take money and 5 employees wandering around store. No wonder brick and mortar stores are closing. Wish party city executives would visit their stores to see how the experience is from a customers point of view. Last visit two customers left before purchasing, after waiting 10 min in a line that didn't move. read more

I placed an online order for balloons 2 days in advance of the party. I even called the store to confirm and spoke with a nice lady Alyssa who helped me. I called the next day to change the pick up order by an hour later and confirmed. Guess what, I'm here at the store at the time of pick up-NO BALLOONS READY! I can't wait around for them to blow them up, that's why I order for them to be ready for pick up. I walked out So disappointed I now don't have balloons for my cousins bridal shower. They told me it would only be 5 min to get them ready but I had to wait in the loooooooonh line to pay. After 5min waiting, I had to leave. Never coming back here again. read more

Don't do it, save yourself the headache go anywhere but here if you have the miss fortune of speaking with Mirrabelle I'm so sorry. They didn't deliver my order, gave me the run around and said they would refund my card. They never did 2 weeks later they ask that I come in since she left a note but not sure if anyone issues the refund because they are busy. I don't know what else to say read more

One of the worst customer experiences I have had. Went to return something I tried on and didn't fit and there was a bleach stain on the inside for some reason. The manager laughed at me for trying to return it and when I asked why she asked are you serious or dumb? Never will be back to this location read more

I was hosting a last minute party and the online purchase wasn't working. I called the store to have all my items (20+ pieces) pulled for me and to pay on arrival. They were super helpful, called back when an item wasn't available and even provided me alternatives. read more

Placed a very large order online for balloons and I received an order confirmation and the money was taken out of my account. Two hours later I get a call that they're out of helium and the money will be back in my account in three days and the orders canceled. THEN DON'T accept the order!!! Spent almost $100 on balloons and the party is in three days and I won't even have the money to go else where. Apparently they've been out of helium for three weeks so it wouldn't be an issue to stop alll online orders for balloons with helium. Very upset with this company. Don't advertise something and complete someone's order if you can't even give your costumer what they purchased. read more

Customer service is just not there. There are much cheaper places to buy decorations like Dollar tree 99 cent store and Amazon you would think they would make it easy to shop but everything is unorganized. Certain items are claimed to be final sale but there's no sign on those items until you try to return or exchange them. read more

The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We got what we needed to be Carl and Ellie from Up. I have an app called 2nd Vote that tells me if a corporation gets involved in political or social causes, and I really appreciate that they don't ; they're neutral across the board. read more
