BOWLS: A Refined "General Store" in the Heart of Little Tokyo
BOWLS, a business that started as a small urban retail boutique in San Marino, CA in 2007, has since evolved into a refined "General Store" located in the vibrant Little Tokyo district of Downtown Los Angeles. After moving to their current headquarters in 2009, the business has refocused its efforts on hand-selecting and curating the finest quality hard and soft goods.
Visitors to BOWLS can expect to find a diverse selection of everyday carry items, grooming products, pocket knives, and accessories. The shop is described as a "super dope car enthusiast shop" with a great vibe and an awesome collection of clothing and accessories focused on the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) car scene in Southern California. The store's visual merchandising and well-defined aesthetic have earned it a reputation as a must-visit destination in Little Tokyo, offering an exceptional shopping experience and the highest caliber of hand-selected products.
Super sick set up various memorabilia such as shirts, model cars, skateboards, and the real life NSX type r! Owner is also super chill!

Love the store and staff. Really cool Honda NSX-R. Feel sorry for any goobers not knowing Honda owns Acura.

Anytime we visit California from Utah. I make it a high priority to at least stop here once to pick up new clothing and accessories. The owner is super nice, he’s very familiar with lots of the locals so he always has authentic and original everything.
