It was my first time visiting Teso Life and I will 100% be coming back soon! Upon entering, it was very well organized and clean. There's so many selections of blind boxes, Japanese snacks/skincare, claw machines and home essentials. I bought a Panda Roll blind box and to my surprise it was priced normally at around $15. There were so many cute blind box selections, I resisted buying everything! There are many reasonably priced snacks! I found many tasty candies for $1-2! The viral mango and peach ice cream was available and cheaper around $4 than at HEB which was $8. You definitely won't get bored if you visit Teso Life!

Great shopping experience for the Asian lover! It's a Daiso, Hmart and cosmetic store all rolled into one. We spent so much time walking every single aisle. The selection was amazing! Aisles and aisles of lotions, cremes and makeup with trial samples for you to try. Loads of snacks and drinks. Candy and collectibles. There is also home accessories, home care products and stationery items. All very low priced. We bought so many things! I wish there was a location in Chicago!

The way I got lost in here from the amount of goodies is unreal! Teso Life has anything you could want from imported snacks, beauty, toys / knick knacks, foods from Japan and Korea! I stocked up on beauty supplies and snacks and still felt like I needed more time in there! The store is bright and clean, the staff is very helpful if you're looking for anything in particular. I can't wait to go back again and dive deeper!

Love going here to feed my daughter and I's Sanrio addiction. You can't beat $1.25 for Sanrio stationary. This store is super organized and clean and the customer service is awesome. I also like how they have the claw machines toward the back and lots and lots of snack options. Definitely come by here if you want a one of a kind shopping experience.

I go to Teso every month or so to re-stock on shampoo, conditioner, Asian snacks, and see what kind of new off-brand Lego sets they've got on display. It's a really fun shop to bring in $20 and try out some crazy snacks or drinks. My one gripe is that they're very inconsistent with what's available. Some weeks a certain shampoo is available and other weeks they'll be randomly out of stock. They do offer promos by the checkout on things that are expiring soon and occasionally samples or free items with a big purchase.

My youngest daughter wanted to shop here for Christmas gifts and I went with her to check out the store. I was so impressed with the large varieties and organization of the Asian products. The store was so clean. I believe most of the products were Japanese since most only had Japanese characters with no English writing. I didn't buy anything, but I had fun just going up and down each aisle checking out the products. This store literally sold everything except fresh proteins, veggies, and fruits. It was like a superior version of a US drug store and gift shop combo without a prescription drug department. My daughter brought what she needed and I had a good time sightseeing.

Love the vibe and there are so many options snacks, drinks, Lego type sets and claw machines. There is so much to see and do. Definitely recommend stopping by and picking up whatever you need they even have make up and dishes. It's a great store.

This was my first visit to WoW (West on West). I used to live just two blocks away a decade ago, and it's great to see the new development in the area. Teso is a Japanese lifestyle store owned by a Chinese entrepreneur, as reflected in the presence of Chinese characters throughout the store. They carry a wide selection of Korean and Japanese skincare, haircare, makeup, and food. The cashier greeted us warmly upon entry, and the store is brightly lit with an inviting atmosphere. I also loved seeing a variety of cute Sanrio character merchandise. Love that they offer products samples. While I appreciate the diverse product selection, I wasn't particularly impressed with the pricing--especially considering the historically low Japanese yen. To be fair, my perspective may be skewed since I visited Japan in December 2024, where I found many of the same items for nearly half the price. That said, I understand that logistics costs and tariffs play a role in pricing. Overall, it's a great place to explore and try different products, even if the prices aren't the most competitive.

Teso Life is a Japanese store similar to Daiso but with much much more. I visited the second day after opening, and it was packed. There's a lot of variety in what they offer. From toy collectibles, figurines, cosmetics, beauty products, home goods, cookware, snacks galore, ramen, and even chilled beverages, there's aisles of great imported goods from Japan at a great price. The biggest surprise was a whole section of UFO catcher skill claw machines with cute mascot plushies to win. There's a promo right now if you spend over fifty dollars, you get a discount. Your purchase comes in a cute reusable baggie. I was given some free drink supplement samples as well. Definitely will be back once the crowd dies down.

I had seen teso life all over instagram but never had the chance to stop by until recently. It is such a fun place!!! They have everything - from snacks, toys, stationary items, dish-ware, skincare, etc. it's like a mall... could spend hours and $$$ there. I got to try fun snacks like truffle and steak chips. Both were so yummy, and the flavors were spot on. The prices for everything are fair! You can find great gifts here. I'm always thinking abt my next visit. Ample parking in the big plaza, although it can get packed!

For those missing Japan a little, here's a store that offers some of the items you might have seen in Japan--skincare, shampoo, snacks, and makeup. The store size is pretty decent, and it even has a small claw machine in the corner. Some of the items are decently priced compared to Japan, maybe a dollar or two more for some, while other items can be a bit higher than in Japan or even on Amazon. The store is still quite new, so their stock changes daily or even from morning to evening. I went in the morning to avoid the crowd but returned later that evening because my family wanted to go, and some of the items were different from what I saw in the morning. Tip: They have a rewards membership, but they don't mention it, so I would ask about it if you plan to shop here frequently.

My first experience here was really nice.I loved it.I thought the store was beautiful. I recommend this place if you want to buy things from Japan especially skin care beauty products.This is also the only store I could find that had the Sailor Mars carbonated drink can.The service is good and they give you this cute little bag that you can reuse when you buy stuff.

This place was not on my list of things to do today but here we are! I came here for spice jars and left with Japanese snacks and a Lego flower kit. This place is like Daiso's cool cousin that lives in the city(a bit pricier). They have an arcade and so many cool gadgets and gifts. I really loved that I found so many things I would definitely come back for. Alphonso was really helpful and helped me find a few beginner snacks. They have so many candies and treats it can be kind of overwhelming. They have teas and coffees in the coolers. I can't wait to try my iced matcha latte. lots of cold treats and sweets drinks. Another trinket shop to add to the list.
