I love PopKiller! Been shopping there for years. I like that they are open late, so if you're in the area for dinner, you can stop in and shop a bit. They do some really cool t-shirts. Also, sometimes I find cool vintage stuff here. I pick up fingerless gloves and accessories every now and then. Odd gifts. Great place to browse. The staff is always chill and helpful! read more

Really cool store with one of a kind pieces, cute gag gifts, and great patches! Their flagship store three doors down also features really cool tshirt designs. Love it! read more

Fantastic original Popkiller T-Shirts! The proprietor was suuuuuper awesome! It's not the cheapest things in the world but they have some great accessories and little gift stuff. And a Michael Jackson Thriller red leather jacket. I'm not sure if it's the real thing or a replica but it looks well worn like it was really made in the 80's. They have some shirts, dresses and skirts on a couple of racks there too. Honestly, I'm not sure if they were previously worn or not... But I got myself a dress coz it's about the same price as a Tee! Those Tees are haunting my thoughts. I might come back to get one of them just to stop them from floating in head, taunting me... read more

Super cute shop in Little Tokyo! Got some Sailor Moon pins and other random stuff. They have sorted lots of vintage items in a small space along with new items that aren't as typical as every other store. A great little shop to check out when you're in the area! Workers usually seemed to be friendly and helpful as well! read more

The last time I came in here, I've had the best experience so far. I've been disappointed in this place before, mainly for the ratio of cool vintage clothing compared to "vintage-inspired" stuff and gimmicky Urban Outfitters-like books and toys. Last time, though, it delivered. I love the assortment of windbreakers and old dresses they have now, and a few of the t-shirts were genuinely cool. I even liked some of their new stuff, like an all-black holographic backpack and their selection of chokers. I got a lacy choker, which was a little too big as usual, a windbreaker, and a solar system t shirt, all of which were only a bit overpriced. The place only has one dressing room and is small enough that it gets pretty packed on the weekends and evenings. I'm still dying to know what's upstairs and wish they would open that area. read more

Popkiller - T shirt & windbreaker from Popkiller Second. I've gotten quite a few compliments on this stuff so far! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Popkiller's got all the best accessories you can find without sacrificing your wallet. Their items are unique and you probably cannot find the EXACT styles anywhere else - definitely the place to find your "one of a kind" styles. This place is my source for great hats, belts and clothes. They often times have a discount rack where you can save some $$ and still be fashionable. The staff's nice here. Good prices. Simple as that. read more

It's a fantastic little spot that sells all sorts of merchandise. From vintage tees, to hip hats, snazzy rings, earrings, necklaces, urban jackets and pop iconic toys. I LOVE IT! Prices vary but lean towards the expensive side. I wish I had more time to sift through everything. I'm sure you'll find your all time favorite tee and/or hat here! I guarantee it! read more

There are tons of boutiques in Little Tokyo that are so unique and fun. This is a Japanese boutique which carries lots of products that you could find in Tokyo. It's a little funky, sort of jammed, and a bit pricey for having no name brands or anything.. but I guess it's supposed to reflect Tokyo, and to my understanding Tokyo is a little expensive. Cute little touristy place, worth a visit if you're walking around in the area. read more

Whooo! In complete agreeance with the woman at the Popkiller location a couple doors down from this one, "we kind of have a monopoly on clothes on this small block of stores". Although I prefer that location to this one, they've got some nice stuff here! Unfortunately, it's a bit expensive, and a bit small. But if you're looking for a niche item or two, Popkiller definitely scratches that itch. I think a bit more variety for men's clothing would be a great improvement, but a fun place to look around notwithstanding. read more

I love this store. There's something charming about the combination of nostalgia, Japan, and trinkets. I wish I had more time to browse the store while I was in LA. I bought a friend a really AWESOME keychain trinket that comes apart and forms a "recreational device" (no not that one you sick freaks). That one trinket alone had other people wanting to know where this store was. My only gripe was that I couldn't find the right size clothes I wanted. Its a pity too because I was really diggin a lot of the shirts they had there. Admittedly, some of the clothes did get quite pricey, but at the same time, some of the other clothes were extraordinarily low-priced or reasonable. The staff is also very friendly and not bothersome, meaning they will smile and greet you but won't nag you all over the store (A++++). Hi-YA! read more

Popkiller - Popkiller: the sunglasses and the shirt. The shirt says "Just Say F-ck Yeah." - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you love vintage clothes or Japanese fashion and culture you must visit this place.They have very funky and unique stuff from Japan that you can never find in states, also they always carry super cool vintage clothing carefully selected from 80's -90's and some 00's vintage clothing with fair price. Also there are tons of funky sunglasses and accessories. There is their sister shop at 3doors next and they have popkiller original t shirts, definitely recommend to check both stores when you in the town. read more

Popkiller is the Little Tokyo ADD brainchild of two ridiculously opposite-of-the-spectrum personalities who got drunk one night and conceived this unique shop. Probably one of the most random stores I've been to that made it work despite the stuff they're passing off as actual merchandise, like an inflatable moose head for ~$35 or fish-shaped bags for $20. You can find vintage items here, and when I say vintage I meant the authentic type like Bob Dylan or random Chinese pop records from the actual era it was released in. You can also find some really cute designer shoes (e.g. Christian Lacroix) that were pre-loved before coming to this store. There were quite a few 1960's dresses that I noticed and made me think of Mad Men's Peggy Olson''s style - meaning it's very plain and not so form fitting. I remember holding the most expensive item they had in the vintage rack and it was a ruffle dress made my Christian Dior for about $130. Also, the accessories they offer are both kitsch & trendy. Mustache necklaces, octopus bracelets, 3-finger rings can all be found here & priced relatively cheap too. Overlooking the small selection they have in the vintage/sale rack & the fire-marshall-warned space, it's still a worthy stop, kind of like visiting the Harajuku shopping district just to stare at the crazy outfits people have on to pique your curiosity. read more

Stay away from this place!!!! I liked this store very much before my last shopping encounter. I will not go back now because the workers in there were so rude, nasty and unhelpful to me. I bought a shirt from them that I thought might be the wrong size. They stapled the receipt onto the tag themselves and told me to exchange it if I needed to. When I brought it back, they refused to exchange it and said it wasn't their policy to do so. They also gave me some excuse about their computer being down and also said that the shirt had to be exchanged for the same exact shirt (which incidentally I couldn't find in the size I needed). Which is it? Needless to say that I was furious after being lied to for the second time. I then told them that they were losing a loyal customer wherein he said "well fuck you". I left the store as I actually have a life and wouldn't want to go to jail for killing some stoned loser in a retail store. All in all, I liked their stuff and wanted to continue to shop there, but after this incident, I will NEVER go back there and will continue to spread the word about how horribly I was treated read more

Exercise your right to accessorize here. It's perfect for dudes who like to decorate themselves with the most random things. Shades, hats, belts, suspenders, rings, necklaces, and all sorts of other shiz that I had no clue what to even do with. It's all pretty cheap too so if you've got some time to kill and a $20 spot in your pocket pop in and have a ball. read more

One of my favorite stores! I mean where else am I suppose to get my pink Motorhead shirt from? Everything that I own from this store always gets so many compliments. I love the fact that there is always something new here yet they hold onto the customer favorites. read more

My perception of this place has not changed. Great accessories and random items such as weed stash cans, air freshners, and even cool packing tape. The selection of vintage clothes is really small and quite expensive. There are some nice tee shirts, but not anything that makes me want to buy them. I was hoping to buy a nice watch here, but it is really pricey. There are nice beanies, very cute and hard to find. Also, when I bought a belt buckle I ended up overpaying for it, nearly double. The glasses were also half-price online. The sneaker selection is minimal. I guess if people love the stuff here, I won't fault them. I'm not sure if they know about Buffalo Exchange or the other vintage shops around LA, but this is definitely a small collection for a big price. If the economy is not effecting you, then come here. But some people might find their butts sore, because it is retail rape. Expensive for used goods. read more

I LOVE this place. Anytime i need a cool T-shirt, dress, hat, rockin' accessories, i go here. They've got old stuff and new stuff for really affordable prices. Their sunglasses selction is pretty dope too. I got my FAVORITE pair of earings here, wore them on New years eve, partied a little too hard, and lost one side. Oh well, now i'm punk, just kickin one earring ... hell yeah!! read more

Hipster-ish kind of store. Lot's of trendy novelties and apparel. It's a bit over priced, in my opinion, but at least all the clothing there is their brand. We got 3 shirts because the 3rd was 50% off, which would have been a good deal if the shirts weren't $20+. The clothes were cute though, which is why I wanted the two shirts I got (GF got the other). Note: if you Instagram yourself in their store and use the #popkiller and show them the post, you get a free "gift" (popkiller air freshener) Cool place to go if you're a tourist looking to support local businesses! read more

Pop pop, you've just been killed by cuteness. Popkiller is a really quirky shop that carries a bunch of fun novelty gifts plus clothing (some of which is vintage). It's one of those places where you can just go and browse for a while because the items are so funny and unique...think a ski mask that has a shark mouth around where your eyes are, or an inflatable deer head for your wall. For the holidays, they have a rack dedicated to ugly xmas sweaters, and they are the most hip ugly sweaters I have ever seen! They will run you a pretty penny, but you do save the time and energy it takes to strong arm through smelly thrift store racks. They were having a buy 1 get one 50% off sale on sunglasses, and I was sorely tempted to buy a pair of Kaleidoscope prism glasses (totally useless if you want to see where you're going, but so cool for raves) as my second pair but I resisted. Just in case you're interested though, they're $14, which is a far better deal than other stores selling them for $30. I did, however, purchase some cute metal framed sunglasses that will make me vaguely resemble a cat ($13). It doesn't hurt that it's already in a very walkable area right next to the Little Tokyo mall. There are a bunch of shops and food places in the close vicinity, so why not stop by? Rad shop for cool kids only! read more

There is always something interesting here if you space out your visits. I bought one of those grab bags for Christmas and it was literally FULL of stuff that if I were a teenaged hipster boy, I would have totally gone bananas for such an awesome deal. They have cute shirts that I usually get for people for their birthdays and now they have a whole store dedicated just for the shirts, wrapped like a vinyl, two stores down. I rarely buy anything for myself here but I usually go to acquire fun presents and no one's ever been disappointed (to my face). read more

Every time I'm in downtown (usually for the sake of eating sushi), I always find myself conveniently popping into Popkiller. It's great for when you are waiting for some spots to open up at the sushi bar. After a disappointing Kings game, I felt that I needed sushi therapy to comfort my dismal state. Alas, after an ash-ingested and smoky-aired walk, we come to realize that Komasa and Hama are both closed. Okay, now I am in need of some retail therapy as I'm beginning to feel extremely melancholy... and lucky for me, Popkiller is open late! So I step into the Little Tokyo store and immediately begin to feel a little happier with it's vintage clothing, new independent designer clothing, fun accessories, unique nicknacks, and of course, Japanese imported clothing and trinkets. I can honestly say that I always come out of here with something to add to my fashion collection. read more

PopKiller is SOOO hipster - I love it! It has the most random stuff and outfits... but at a price (but glasses are a good price). I saw a bag I could make (but will take me time) for $26.00. It was the shape of a fish. I really wanted it! But I could make it. There are cute animal costumes!!! I wanted one because it's SO cute! There is a Godzilla body costume (like the Furries kind but made with felt). Very cute. Random eyewear - and trendy. Lots of misc items on the side when you enter. Be careful climbing the stairs. Sale stuff is up there but the upstairs is small so one at a time. Overall, cute place to shop for the hipster trend :) read more

Cooler than ice cold. I wandered in and scored a rad pair of heart shaped sunglasses and a gangster panda phone case. I can find a gift here for practically anybody. Coming back for the boob and penis shaped pastas. read more

Popkiller! hahahaah we thought it was called PoopKiller! :D In honor of my hapa bro/friend Adam (aka Schmadam) and his poop obsession, we went inside thinking it was some crazy poop store! LMAO... Anywhoo... It's actually an urbanie, japanese, SF-like store. I liked their accessories ALOT. Lots of odd things, cute things, and clothes. They have lots of HATS, some little purses, shirts, shoes, and some cool employees. I love the urban jap style! If you need a hat, funky accessories, or some cute funky shoes... go to PoopKiller!!! hahaha POPKILLER! :D read more

Great vintage store located in the Little Tokyo area. You can find everything from '80s Flash Dance leg warmers to pieces of "glass blown art" (wink, wink). Come and relive your childhood... read more

Popkiller should be renamed "Buzzkiller" after you've experienced their atrocious customer service. It's one thing for the store clerks to be as pretentiously rude as some of their Hipster customers... but to down right JUMP on people from stealing (when they're not) can make this place lose it's novelty fade faster than the colors of their vintage clothing. All the over hyped over priced knick knacks, are really not worth all the hassle. Might as well just go to Spencers and call it a day. Seriously. read more

I love POPKiller if your looking for trendy, fun, and hip (glasses, clothes, jackets, shoes, Tshirts) items then pop killer is the right place to be at. in the heart of little toyko pop killer has provided me with cute random beanies, necklasses and even glasses. pop killer does sometimes have jackets that look like Members ONly, but i dont think its the real thing. that would be the only bad thing i would say about this little store. everything else about it is great. i love getting stoned and coming here to try things on and spend a little while looking around. read more

Frequenting Little Tokyo really requires only a few stops: Yamazaki Bakery, MoCA, and this dandy place. Why you may ask? Well, what better show of the diversity and quirkiness of Los Angeles than the colorful menagerie of novel trinkets and accessories discovered here. In here you can see all the trends that was, is, and will be. I'm talking about sushi shaped air freshners, Russian roulette drinking games, and Tokyo inspired counter-culture clothing. You'll either feel compelled to buy to create a trend, or be so ashamed of your lack of cool you need to start building it right away. Either way, this small haven (optical illusion-ed with mirrors to fake a larger space) awaits gifting for that hipster friend of yours or the fashion forward. Either way, it's time to get down with yo bad self. read more

Got the cutest Michael Jackson tank top circa Beat It-era for $22. They also have an impressive collection of vintage sunglasses, and of course the obligatory kitschy gifts and home décor. This store is basically what Urban Outfitters tries so very hard to be. I can only speak for the Little Tokyo location, but I do plan on visiting the others. read more

This store has a thrift store kinda feel to it, pretty sure some of the jackets were actually second hand. I think it's a bit overpriced but a lot of unique items. A lot of their accessories remind me of the store Therapy. read more

3.5 stars. I just stumbled upon this store for the first time yesterday. Me and Sara A. just happen to find parking for our sushi quest right outside this store... and as soon as we noticed where we were, we had to go inside for a looksy! Although I like the clothing selection much more at the sunset store- I absolutely loved the upstairs gallery space here. I also managed to find some awesome records in their bin at an ok price, and I spotted an amazing vintage dress that fit Sara perfectly! This store had friendly service... we totally chatted it up with the cute employee about some crazy japanese punk bands and he was eager to help us although not pester us! woohoo. Go check out the artist they have on display right now! hot naked japanese girls! http://popkiller.us/gallery/gallery/ read more

Pop Killer is rad. My go-to spot for the great t shirts I won't see everyone else in. I also go here for the pins, sunglasses, japanese ash trays, earrings, stickers, tape...I can't help it. I also go to gawk at the two japanese babes that work there... As for the employees and the ignoring..I've never really had that happen to me there, so it's a five star joint all the way for me. They have always been super friendly. It's always on my list of places to go when I'm in Little Tokyo. read more

I LOVE this place. I live within walking distance of Little Tokyo, and sometimes I just go there on a whim because it's so entertaining and fascinating! I've never been in a store quite like Popkiller. They have the most eclectic and eccentric clothes, accessories, props, and toys. My favorite part is the huge wall they have of everything from tail keychains to suspenders to necklaces to belts and wallets. Also, there's a rack of clothing that changes all the time, in addition to their own line of tees and sweatshirts. I also love the huge glass case of glasses and sunglasses! The prices are all reasonable. I've gotten a pair of shorts for $22, and some of the Popkiller brand clothes are borderline expensive, but all of the accessories and jewelry are surprisingly affordable, especially for LA. Sometimes spontaneously I'll pick up a $10 pair of plastic glasses or something- Popkiller is the perfect place to find small gifts and toys. This store is just full of quirky, fun things that make you stop and stare. I love going there just for fun. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are chill, and it's just a great place to be in. One of my favorite places in Little Tokyo, period! read more

I purchased a shirt that I was told, by an associate, that I could exchange in 30 days. Exactly 1 month later (on the day), I had time to get back to the store and exchange the shirt (a $30 shirt). When I went in the same associate greeted me and even remembered me. When I mentioned that I wanted to exchange, she said to go ahead and find another shirt to exchange and, while I was browsing, another associate informed me that I couldn't exchange the shirt (their policy was 2 weeks, not 30 days) Of course, I was upset by this news. But what made me more pissed off was that the associate, who originally told me 30 days, had completely disappeared. And rather take accountability for their mistake, they decided to hide and avoid any embarrassment. And rather take responsibility for their employee's mistake (an admitted mistake due to that employee's actions of allowing me to exchange the shirt) the store upheld its policy. I won't be shopping there again and I recommend, if there is something there that you like, that you take a picture of it and buy it online. It'll probably be cheaper read more

Located just outside of the Japanese Village Plaza, having reopened in August, this is another recent addition to the vintage craze in Little Tokyo. Japanese people love American styles, especially the styles of and inspired by yesteryear. Japanese nationals love these looks so much in fact, that tiny boutiques of vintage looks are popping up everywhere. LT and the neighboring Arts District boast 4 excellent vintage stores. Shame on you for thinking quality vintage was only available on Melrose. Though Popkiller's prices are not as reasonable as some of the other stores (see Cools review), it is still a great store. They have a vast selection of vintage tees ($30), some are even Japanese vintage, all with the Popkiller label sewn into the collar. Woman can find beautiful new lacey, gauzy dresses ($90) ideal for evenings out or warm fuzzy sweaters ($60) perfect for cold nights in. Prices range to upwards of $300 for a Betsey Johnson dress but if you look carefully markdowns are rampant and you can find a terrific deal. The collections of handbags, jewelry and shoes are also cute. Though be careful because all sales are final. Make a day of visiting the vintage stores in the area and finish it up with a big bowl of ramen to warm your insides after a long winter's day of outdoor shopping. read more

If I were a millionaire, I'd own one of everything in Popkiller! The Popkiller original T-shirts are amazing! The gift area to the left of the entrance is full of stuff I want, and I had to resist the jacket racks, otherwise, my boyfriend - American Express - would probably dump me. He would definitely deny me if I had my way with Popkiller.... But seriously, if you're looking for a fun gift or a unique t-shirt that will get you a smile, check this place out! Note: ask for the dressing room. no returns whatsoever, you break it - you buy it, and some things are really janky so don't just buy on impulse. read more

Cool store that sells vintage clothing. They have a decent assortment of vintage jackets(i.e. military jackets, members only, etc.) Their T-shirts are all customized so you can't get them anywhere else. They also have a huge assortment of unique sunglasses. I'm always tempted to buy a pair, but since I wear glasses myself I would have to get perscription sunglasses =[ They also have a unique set of rings, earrings, necklaces, etc. My friend bought a set of zipper earrings. If my ears were piereced I probably would have gotten some earrings myself. This store is a must if you're visiting Little Tokyo. read more

Go to Popkiller for accessories (pins, glasses, hats etc)... well, t-shirts at the most. Yes, it's a trendy place. Yes, clothing will be expensive - did I mention it's a trendy place? in LA? Don't be surprised at the exorbitant rates. You could do far worse across town for much less qualitywise. It's in a cute part of downtown and the folks there are nice as they can be. It's a ton of fun, that store. read more

Always stop by this shop when I'm in the area. It's kind of a random mix of fun clothing, gift items, accessories and etc. but it's all cute and a reasonable price. And the people who work there are super nice. Very cool shop! read more

This is always been one of my favorite stores by far one of us unique! Never a dull moment, can't wait to come back! I want just about everything! If you have not been to the store you must go immediately.... read more
