Hi . So my friend and I enjoyed our day shopping here. First off the shop is super nice. So fresh and clean everywhere you look .when I walked to the back of the store. I got lost because it's so kawaii big. The shop boys and girls are so kind. They are so cute too.I had so much fun here . I can't to go back. Thanks for the good experience.

There is usually a queue to get in snd you have a limited amount of time to shop when inside. There is so much to look at once you are in though! Lots of cute statues and murals to take photos of/with and even a claw machine (it was out of order when I went though). The merchandise comes in a variety of characters, even some of the less popular ones.

Easy to find because there is a big Sanrio mural outside of the shop.

There's a big line to go shopping in there. The store it's super cute but make sure you don't forget your debit/credit card. They DO NOT accept cash!. My 10 years had $200 cash to spend (bday money)but no credit card. Would had been nice for the girl in charge of the line to tell us as we walked in since she was blocking the sign on the door that states "NO CASH". I had forgotten my wallet in the car, we had to go back to my car and then make line again ?‍♀️

My wife absolutely loved this store, they had a lot of awesome and rare Hello Kitty merch. I don't think there are many Sanrio stores left in California and this was the first one we've found. Definitely worth the stop of you are a Hello Kitty fan.

Came on a Friday morning (09/09/22) and went in a little after they opened. There was no line, so I believe the best time to come is weekday mornings and maybe a bit before they open. They have a mask policy as of September 2022, so I recommend to bring one just in case.

The store was clean and organized. There were not as many items as I expected but the store is small, so might have been the stock limit for the store.
The staff were really kind, friendly, and attentive to questions I had.

This isn't a discount store so don't expect any unless the items are on sale

It was a nice visit. I enjoyed it. The online prices for the items seem the same, except here you wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

Reviews from Eric

Experienced a line since they limited the amount of people inside at once and you're timed once you go in. Everything was pretty expensive but that's to be expected.

Clean and cute interior.

Staff was very helpful/professional.

Hello kitty world! If you like things cute, come here. Located in the Little Tokyo outdoor village.

Hair accessories, socks, purses, pillows, stickers, clothing galore. This place is kawaiiiii! (Cute) The employees are really nice, and are great at offering suggestions for what you’re looking for. Because honestly, there are so many little knickknacks.

The store is basically divided into brands and also different colors. They have Hello Kitty in all her stages.

Display cases near the checkout desk change constantly because they’re always getting new items in.

Find street parking a block or two away.

This was my first ever visit to an in person Sanrio store! I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was great, and the store wasn't over-crowded due to there only being a certain amount of customers allowed inside. I visited on a not so busy Thursday, so I only had to wait a minute or two to be let in. The selection was great, and check out was quick. I recommend this store if you're in the area!
