Got my friend a little gift here, they have a wide selection of figures and other items like badges, stickers, manga and wall scrolls. Not the first time I've been here but each time I've come out with at least one bag. I suggest coming early in the morning if you want to find an item you want since it's first come first serve.

So confusing as there are two locations under same name in a same mall but both shops have the wide variety of collections of figures, cards, manga and anime books, costumes, masks, wigs, posters, etc. that you would not see anywhere else. The value of each item are priceless but if you need to know how much they are to compare, they have price tags attached. From high to low quality and price, they have everything for everyone. The staff are all over the store not only stocking but also helping the customers. Everybody is friendly and knowledgeable, which is very helpful deciding on the purchase. There is a lot going on so it's hard to concentrate to see things but it is quite organized well in categories. This is the place to go if you have any specific character you have in mind.

Had time to kill and wandered into the basement area of this Little Tokyo mall. Followed around the store as if my intent was to shoplift their statues of little girls dressed in bikinis, plastic models of war bombers, and other creepy things to waste your time and money on. Given the stuff they sell, the bad vibes at this store makes perfect sense. The kindest thing you can say is this is a very sad place.

Rob was extremely helpful when I was looking for cards for yu-gi-yoh , he showed me where the cards were and also explained to me the different rarities ... he was very kind and caring and I definitely recommend asking for Rob !

Prices are kinda whatever. However, the entire lot has tons of cool stuff to see and buy. Check it out for yourself, the surrounding shops make this place a sweet hangout/date spot.

I not only found exactly the collectible I was looking for, but it arrived in an expertly packed box with a little hand written post-it note thanking me for the order. If that's not 5 star customer service, I don't know what is.

Going to this card shop has been one of the best experiences I've had since moving to LA. This place is awesome!!! I started playing One Piece TCG and one of the team members helped me figure out what deck works with my playing style by asking me about past games I played like YuGiOh and Magic. If you are in the area and want a spot where you can shop, play and collect stop in.

This is only reviewing the card store they have. I had no issues in their anime figure section. I recently got interested in Pokemon and Final Fantasy TCG cards as I just got some so being in the Little Tokyo area for the day, I figure I would check them out and see what they had. I was front looking straight on the counter and saw they had the Final Fantasy TCG booster sets for a particular series. I waited patiently for the previous transaction to take place, which the cash register was to my left. The employee walked past me, went to get some booster cards to give to the customer for spending a certain amount of money. Once that transaction was over, the employee proceeded to place the other booster packs in the shelf near the cash register. This guy then walks up to the cash register and the employee says "How can I help you?" to the guy. The customer proceeds to asks about a Yu-Gi-Oh card they are looking for... and I decided you know what, not worth spending my money here. I was completely ignored. I should have read the other review from 3 days ago as I got the same exact treatment. Not sure if it is the same employee, but I also better just buy from another place.

I'm an avid board gamer, and I can't say enough good things about this hobby shop. The service is fantastic, and the staff is always ready to recommend the latest and greatest board games. The quality of their board game selection is top-notch, with a wide variety to choose from. What's even more impressive is the value; their prices are competitive, and I always leave with a new game that brings hours of fun. This shop is a board gamer's paradise!

If you're a female card player who wants to get ignored and treated like a wet rat, come here. Extremely disappointing experience at their card store. Came in with my female cousin who plays the One Piece card game just to watch an employee, a big guy, turn to her to ask if she needed help with anything, stop mid-sentence upon seeing she was female and walked away. When she had questions later on, we saw the employee shown in the picture greeting and checking on other customers walking in with no concern on her despite her waiting at the register. After a while, he turns to her and asks, "Are you waiting for something?!" in such a rude tone that I was alarmed she didn't call him out for it. She asks her question and he responds with a passive aggressive shrug, "We don't have that, sorry," before walking off and being friendly with other customers. My other family members who also noticed this were shocked. Card players like these are the ones who give the community the bad reputation of being incels. Upon confronting him later, the employees give the BS excuse that they're hard of hearing despite the shop consisting of just a few quiet customers they could hear just fine. We'll just stick to ordering off TCGPlayer.

Normally I don't even bother to write negative reviews, but this needs to be addressed and seen by others. As the previous Yelp reviewer posted, we successfully applied for the One Piece Sealed Battle. The event was scheduled to start at 3pm so we came a little beforehand to check in. As we were talking to the employee about checking in, he said he already filled the spots to the waitlisted applicants. And that my group was "late" although we came before the scheduled time. His excuse was that it wouldn't be "fair" to the people who were waiting since 1pm although they're waitlisted. Like what??? If you're going to give spots away that early then might as well start the event at 1pm. Not 3pm and give it away to people who weren't even in there successfully. Rubbed us off the wrong way, definitely won't be coming back. Store owner is unprofessional, unreasonable, and overall establishment is a joke. If you value your time and money, go elsewhere. Edit: I checked their IG story and it also says "please arrive as soon as possible if your status is "successful" in the Bandai app". Yeah man...3 people in my group were "successful" in the app yet you gave away our spots when we arrived on time. Owner is not only unprofessional, but a liar as well. Own up to your mistake. This isn't how you run a business.

I arrived at Anime Jungle today for a Bandai event that was listed for 3 PM. On arrival the store was packed and busy. After getting what appeared to be the tournament organizers attention and asking regarding the tournament. He advised that the tournament was started at 1 PM due to people waiting and so that he could utilize the waitlist at 2:30 PM. Although it sucks that we were unable to get into the event. How the TO handled the explanation of what happened and why the decision were made to start the event 2 hours earlier. It was rude, he seemed more interested in blowing us off than offering any empathy. Instead of taking ownership of a decision he made. It was our fault as customers and participants for coming late when we arrived before the start time of the listed event that Bandai provided. Why the 1 star: Customer Service; would I want to come back here to be serviced, helped or spend my money and time? Simply my time wasn't respected as a participant nor as a customer.

I'm basing this review off the store that sells the cosplay and figures. In recent time, the cosplay shop in the Akihabara space of little Tokyo has merged with the store that sells the Funko Pops. Cosplay choices are mainly from popular series such as Demon Slayer, Sailor Moon, JJK, etc. however, consider they are also selling cosplays in Asian sizes. These can fit most children, but as a reminder, an XL is not an American sized XL. The staff was helpful in assisting a friend picking what would be the best size for them. They also answered questions about the wig styling tools they had available. The wig selection is pretty decent; fibers and soft and styleable. I wished they had more stock and selection in cosplay. The value and prices are about the same as if you would find them online but at least here you can try it on.

It was my birthday, so I was driving up to little Tokyo from San Diego and I stopped by many stores, but this was by far the best one. I am a huge tokusatsu fan and I have been searching for a good store for Kamen Rider. The prices are great if you don't care about it being used. They also had tons of Super Sentai. This place is also great for new Gundam at fair prices. It was the same as online, but without any shipping prices. This is definitely a must visit store for tokusatsu and Gundam fans. I went here with my friends and left satisfied.
