The shoe selection is vast, with mostly hard to find and unique shoes. The value is fair for these "hard to get" items. Now for the bad part. I'm not sure what i can say about the service that hasn't already been said. They have many workers and security guards on the floor. They will not acknowledge you, not smile, and not ask you if you need assistance. In fact they will even look at you with disgust for being in there space. I'm not sure how this business model works, but I would never spend money in this place no matter how bad I want the unique selection of shoes. Hopefully the service will get better in future.

During the the The One event this weekend here was nonstop noise all day and all night from around 6am Saturday morning until around 10am this morning.

Now the alleyway that the store has been using for an event entrance all weekend looks like an insane disgusting mess. This is a serious health issue for the hundreds of apartments that are located directly across the alley. The store has no direct contact info and even has a fake phone number listed on yelp.

Yes, part of it is because it's smack dab in the center, but the main part of it is because a lot of the businesses I like to shop at and peruse are located here, as well as lots of the places I like to get food and snacks from. I like visiting what I deem the "Anime Jungle pit" since eventually the entire underground section was taken over by businesses related to or owned by Anime Jungle, but in that pit, when there's no crazy lines, I like to visit Anime Jungle, Q Pop Shop, Little Akihabara LA (depending on the collab pop up), Kiddleton Kiosk, and maybe I got into the model kit or the TCG/vidya game shop, but not as often. Outside of the pit in the plaza area, sometimes I like to go to Monkey Pants, but it is a small shop, but they have cute trinkets and sometimes character mascots have meet and greet events, Catch on the 3rd floor, Neko Stop, Maneki Neko, Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle, the Sanrio store, Nijiya for quick drinks or snacks, Yamazaki bakery for the meat buns, Mitsuru Cafe for super cheap dango and takoyaki, and sometimes they have cool collab decoration and events throughout this location. It definitely gets crowded and busy here, the parking garage can get quite fisted, so it's not somewhere I park normally, but I will definitely visit.

The plaza is mostly clean and safe to walk around. We spent about an hour here. We bough some stuff from Nijiya market, got kimono from Shinyodo gift shop and got ice cream from Little Tokyo Ice cream and yogurt. All staff members in each store were nice.

Each garment feels like a unique expression of elegance--custom pieces in particular carry the intimacy of being made just for you, with details that highlight his dedication to perfection. Equally noteworthy is the experience Mr. Hoss creates for his clients. He welcomes every guest with warmth, graciousness, and discretion, making them feel instantly at ease.

I consider several aspects before buying, depending on the type of brazier design aesthetic, materials, and functionality. I get these exclusive bras for durability and versatility. They are ideal for an elegant and feminine visualization that is refined and artistic. These materials can be excellent for focused designs that become a focal point of the outdoor space--a way to elevate yourself.
