“Best Anime in California. I love all the Japanese Animations.
Friendly staffs! I appreciate all staffs patience and empathy while my family toys hunted. I will definitely be back for the great customer services and their extensive best Anime collections!”
“Their stuff is always fairly priced at market price, and when I asked the manager how? Why? What? He said, “because it’s fair.” You love to hear it. Knowing people and shops like this are in your neighborhood can really put a smile on your face. Amazing.”
“What great service! Especially for an online order. A different online retailer decide not to tell me that a key part of a birthday present for my wife, Nutscene Garden Twine, was back ordered, which I only discovered because it didn't ship after 4 or 5 days. Scrambling, I found Arch Art Supplies had some in stock. Unfortunately the color I chose was out of stock but instead of leaving me hanging Arch Art reached out directly to ask me if one of the other colors would be ok and then quickly got it shipped to me...with a couple of days left till the birthday! It was a small order but they went out of their way to provide great service....can't thank them enough...and can't wait to visit the shop in person.”

“Honest, smart, upfront people. They helped me talk through an idea I had and actually advised me to not go ahead with the plan, even though they would lose a sale. They focused on my needs first. Thank you!”
“BEST local game store ever! Love everything about the store, the people and the cool stuff!?and you gotta love Sonya! She pays very detailed attentions to all her customers’ opinions, questions, lots of conversations on latest and popularity of various games ? That’s what makes her and her store special ????? Because she cares about her community and people.
I love going there with my husband for selective ? Magic the Gathering pre-releases ? It’s really chill there for me, and I feel safe and home around a diversity of intellectual people that know how to play games so well and fun ? Trust me, you’ll love this place❣️”
“Hello good people, this last July, 2025, myself and family was on vacation in San Francisco for a cruise
I was walking around Pier 39, and I discovered We Be Knives, Storefront.
This small business, is an excellent place to purchase any type of knife that you’re interested in.
I personally am a big fan of bench made knives,
We Be Knives, Has an excellent selection of bench made knives, if that’s what you’re into, amongst other brands of knives too.
Their customer service, is above and beyond what I expected, And the knowledge that the gentleman I talked to was above and beyond anything I expected.
And, their prices on their knives are one of the best places I have ever seen.
The next time I am at their shop, I will be purchasing another knife from them.
Just remember, Cash is King, I truly believe you will not go wrong dealing with this Company.
I hope this little review will help you on whether or not to buy from them or not, I can’t recommend them enough.
Thanks and have a great day!!!”
“My first time here. They have a great selection. I do think the mega evolution 6 pack booster for over 70 bucks was a bit scalpy but it is what it is. I ended up pulling a mega Gardevoir ex which made things better haha”

“My girlfriend and I were visiting from Thailand and I was dumping all my access silver. The store was so awesome, so clean security s and I felt very welcome.I've highly recommend. The store I've been all around California. Trying to sell my gold and silver, and this place is 5 stars.”
“Customer Service was TOP NOTCH!!! What can I say? I came in on a Saturday morning needing to buy a list of drawing supplies for my daughter’s art class and Chris came to the rescue to help me find everything. He made suggestions to substitute items with a different brand, so that I wouldn’t have to go to another store. What a great place to shop for art supplies!”
“Cute and friendly cat! The cashier was nice overall! Had a situation with miscommunication on pricing, and when confronted, the owner was respectful and apologetic. To the business: I appreciate the apology, I see it was an honest mistake. Go support them and meet the friendly cat!”
“As a small time artist and DIY screen printer I really bank on experience of the team at Anthem. They have taken away the hardship and costly challenges of trying to burn screens in my bathroom. They provide an awesome service that I, personally, am happy to rely on. Customer service (I’ve had Carol)is always on point and very communicative. This service allows me to focus on my art and printing and provides the comfort of knowing an experienced team of professionals are on my side for a fraction of the cost of hiring employees of my own. Thank you Anthem”
“Super7 has become one of my absolute FAVORITE purveyors of plastic goodness within recent years. The Supersize and Ultimates lines especially have won my business forever!”
“Ying Hobbies & Toys it's the hidden gem you never knew you needed! My wife stumbled upon this treasure while on a quest for Gunpla goodness, and boy, am I glad she did. Tucked away in a cozy spot, Ying Hobbies & Toys might play hard to get at first, but once you lay eyes on its bounty of plastic wonders, you'll be hooked. The store might be small, but it's bursting at the seams with an array of model kits that'll make any Gundam fan's heart skip a beat. Seriously, choosing just one model feels like trying to pick a favorite child - impossible and bound to hurt someone's feelings. But fear not, the guy running the place is pretty helpful. With his guidance, navigating through the sea of model kits becomes a breeze! Oh and the pricing is super fair specially for all the cool stuff you can find. So, if you're a Gundam enthusiast or just someone who appreciates the art of model kits, do yourself a favor and pay Ying Hobbies & Toys a visit. Trust me, it'll quickly become your go-to spot for all things Gunpla. Happy building, fellow plastic yelp warriors!”
“You can find a bunch of great figurines, board games, etc. They have a variety of brands like Bandai, Good Smile Company, etc. Yup, nendoroids! The best shop in Japantown for figurines and authentic.”
“Hands down my new favorite game store!
I’m totally new to Magic: The Gathering, and Paxton was awesome. He took the time to walk me through how the game works, the different mechanics and formats, and how to get started. He even hooked me and my wife up with Spider-Man welcome decks and showed me how to play with them, super chill and kind.
I also grabbed two of my favorite Lorcana character cards (Mufasa and Bagheera). They’ve got a huge selection of single cards (which is rare in SF), plus tons of comics, collectibles, and a super clean, spacious setup for games and events.
I’m a big Final Fantasy XVI fan too, and when I casually (just in passing) mentioned I’d been hunting for a foil Ifrit card from Hidden Legends, Paxton just calmly walked over to some card drawers, and actually found one for me right there on the spot - I couldn’t believe it! I picked up a sweet hidden legends booster pack too (which I could not find anywhere else in city).
Just moved to the Bay in April, and Anime Imports is 100% a spot I’ll be coming back to and frequenting lot. Big thanks to Paxton for being so friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Great shop to check out TCGs & supplies, might as well to play a few games in the quiet atmosphere. P.S. Feel free to contact them beforehand if you are not sure they are opening or not.”
“This is my go-to place for anything arts and crafts related. Honestly, you'll find a lot of stuff here that you never knew you needed until you walked around. They have a lot of baking and decorating supplies but a little pricy for me. They have a lot of paints to choose from if you're painting a piece or working on a project for school. The people who work here are super helpful if you have any questions or need help finding anything. The store is kept pretty organized and clean. I think it's pretty easy to find stuff. I highly recommend going here. They used to offer various classes from cake decorating and stuff. Not sure if they still do post-covid.”
“Great place to find all your tcg needs. They have a wide selection of funkos, Pokémon, one piece and sports cards. Staff is always friendly and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend checking them out.”
“My favorite sports card store in town! The card collection is huge - Topps cards, Panini, pokemon cards, sports memorabilia, even candy from my childhood! Real nostalgic feel and warm friendly staff that take the time and get to know you by first name, my family loves coming here for that. They also have sports players come out and sign autographs too which me and family love.”
