This store, with it's…read moreadorable ocean themed toys and games, has cute items for the kids and wonderful customer service too! As we walked in the door, we were mesmerized by the beautiful blue decor. From carpet to ceiling, everything was decorated in light to dark blues. A flat screen television was playing Disney's Little Mermaid and brightly colored toys were on shelves everywhere. The creatively of this store is captivating for adults and children alike. Looking through all of the adorable stuffed animals, puzzles, and books, it was easy to feel like kid again! What I also liked about this store is the great selection of educational items as well. The staff here was so friendly and knowledgeable. When I wanted to pick out some books and games, the helpful employees knew exactly which books and puzzles I needed. With the store's beautiful decor and wonderful selection of ocean themed items, this will be one of the first places we stop at when we're visiting the Del with the kids.

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 did NOT expect to see a Gunpla shop when exploring through Old Town San Diego and I was…read moreimmediately drawn in by how bright and welcoming the store was. Worker immediately greeted us and let us know to ask them if we had any questions. There's J-pop and Anisong playing in the store, they hold community events, and there's a wide variety of Gunpla, Gunpla building accessories, other anime figs/goods, blind boxes, etc. Great place to grab a gift for an anime loving fan. I also have to commend the shop for having a really cool custom mural of a Gundam overlooking San Diego. That's how you know that there's some real local love. The only point of comparison that I have with Gunnzo is the older Anime Jungle in LT and that sometimes feels like a TSA line to get in. Great price point comparison. I'm sadly not a huge mecha person and the last fig kits I built were for FGO, but I would definitely stop by again!
