Great shop for Japanese gifts, home goods, pottery and kitchen stuff. The store is on the smaller…read moreside but being that it is inside Mitsuwa it's not bad. They have a beautiful selection of Japanese made pottery. We founds some great little pieces and some neat ramen bowls. The store owner was incredibly nice, polite and let us just take our time and browse. I would definitely suggest stopping in on your next trip or if you're in the area

This is a cute little shop inside Mitsuwa. If you are looking for somewhere to buy some authentic…read moreJapanese made items you will find a decent selection. There are bowls, platters, cups, tea sets, chopsticks, and some other items. There are quite a few items that are made in Japan, but if you are expecting all made in Japan items be careful, there is a bunch of made in China. I found a gorgeous platter that I'm in love with that and my son picked out a ramen bowl. We bought a few other items but we love what we purchased. The owner is very polite and helpful. We didn't feel rushed when looking around and the owner gladly assisted in getting us the items we wanted.

Shopping in San Diego, California…read more.. I saw the name of this store and had to go in for a look... Cutie Surprises carried many types of blind boxes, clothing and accessories for Labubu, and chairs, motorscooters, and acrylic cases for these trending toys. Everything was nicely displayed in an organized fashion. The plushies were reasonably priced! The whole shop was Instagram-worthy! Service was friendly and welcoming!

Absolutely LOVE this store! I didn't think any store could surpass my love for Kawaii House, until…read morethey opened this sister store!! They have SO many blind boxes, hard to find ones and popular alike! They even have special edition blind boxes for multiple series and country exclusives. I got a Vietnam limited edition Baby Three! They're great prices, no one has ever beat their blind box prices for Baby Threes. There is even an unboxing longue!!! The staff is so nice and friendly, helpful and loves sharing their knowledge of the items they have. PLEASE go visit, you won't be dissapointed!

Big selection of trinkets/cards with surprisingly decently priced model kits as well. The staff are…read moresuper friendly and the general vibe of the store is great. The layout of the store is super compact and cozy, and I love that they play Anime Eurobeat and Trance music instead of the usual K-pop at other stores. I always give this place a visit when I go to Mitsuwa, I hope they get Zenless Zone Zero or Touhou project merchandise in the future

Bought a Macaron Labubu from them for a 10 year old birthday party today and it was totally fake. I…read moreasked the shop worker/owner if they were real and he looked at me like he was offended for even asking. It was very obvious when she opened it in front of everybody and very embarrassing. Just know this shop is doing this as I'm sure I will have no recourse as they say no returns everywhere in the shop. Just trying to save everyone else the embarrassment and disappointment of getting a "lafufu". Sent another friend the next day and the same thing happened. They will also be writing a review to try and save people from paying $70 and getting a fake.

I came here for the 4th Sunday collectors meet up and bought some cars I've been wanting for my…read morecollection!! I collect Hotwheels, Johnny Lightning, Lowriders, and more. So excited this is here! Thank you to the man who organized all this. If you love collecting mini cars, you NEED to come for the meet ups, and you can come any Saturday or Sunday for this regular car store. I bought a rotating car display here too. All amazing prices! So much better supporting our community versus Amazon or any big companies. I will definitely be back!! 5/5 stars!!!!

My spouse started collecting toy cars not that long ago and we stumbled across Collector's Cafe…read more The owner is super welcoming and knowledgeable. Every other Sunday they host a market a bunch of vendors come with really sick cars for even better prices! It is refreshing to find people that don't overcharge and an environment that's friendly and makes you feel included. It was cool to see my partner share interests with all these cool people. We drive 40min to get to this place and we keep coming back! They also sell Pokémon cards and they custom cars! If you're into this stuff, you should definitely check them out :)

Thank you to Corey for the suggestions, we are so excited to start our new games!…read more We came in here looking for good two player games and solo rpg games. The selection is decent, though a little limited. They seemed to be out of some things but that's okay. We started browsing looking at simple games. Corey asked if he could help and we told him what we were looking for. He said the one we were holding, Rebel Princess, was really fun and he had played it himself. we decided to snag that. He then recommended us Forest Shuffle as a fun game for us too, little does he know that animals like bugs and birds are my entire personality. Such a good read on his part. We loved the game he pitched and took that as well. He showed us around the shop and where to find some amazing used and vintage books (very cool little selection) and where everything else is located. He also suggested me a solo rpg which I will be coming to get! Super thankful for the nice staff and amazing store!

This is one of the few shops in my area who don't seem to appreciate customers that come in and you…read morecan tell by the way they talk to you. I recently went in and for things like Pokemon they're selling Prismatic SPCs for over $400 and packs of Perfect Order and Chaos Rising for $12. Scalper charge less. Overpriced.

We absolutely were NOT going home without stopping at Anime Akiba.... it was non-negotiable!!! The…read moreplace is stacked with anime figures, stickers, posters, and basically a million things you didn't know you needed until you saw them!! Tons of variety, surprisingly very, very reasonable prices, and enough anime goodness to make any fan lose track of time (and money). The owner is very nice too!! Highly recommend if you're even slightly obsessed with anime!! Very, very cool store!!!!

I only recently got into figure collecting and a friend told me about this shop, he said he gets…read more90% of his figures here so I was very excited to check it out, it was definitely a bit of a journey from Oceanside, but well worth it! Once I got there I realized it's in the same shopping center as Tajima which I used to regularly frequent when we lived closer. In fact, once I saw the store's sign I realized I'd seen it before, but just never went in. The store is very well organized and has a great selection of figures, quite a few wall scrolls, key chains, stickers etc. I was pleased to see a few things from shoujo: notably fruits basket which searching for is always like finding a needle in a haystack!!! The best part is honestly the pricing. As imports from Japan, anime figure pricing is often very inflated. I always prefer to buy goods in person rather than online especially when I can support independent shops like this one. I got 4 Jujutsu Kaisen banpresto for under $50 which is insane! Looks like they also have an online store too I will definitely make a point to swing by this shop whenever I'm in the area because it's a true gem!
