I went into this place thinking I was just going to find a gift for my sister and came out with so much more! Ester thank you for your words of wisdom and your kindness to share with me and my friend such a personal experience. This made the visit to your area of business so much better and really allowed me to see into your life and hardships. I really hope your family will think about keeping the American dream alive. Your family is why America is such a wonderful place to visit and live. Without you we have no America. So please don't give in to all the things that press against your ability to keep going. Find new ways to conquer it and show pride. You are a beautiful soul and a great person for standing on what you believe in. I hope many more people come to visit this place and get to know you as I did. Everyone please support local businesses and get to know people like Ester. She has a little piece of history and a history lesson or two as well if you say hi and get to know her. I highly recommend this shop if in the area.

They smell so good that I had to revisit and make a souvenir purchase. Best place to buy incense and various figurines to decorate your room / house. Makes for a great Asian home decor one stop shop. Recommend highly!

Old Chinatown classic, its like a crammed variety store. Some of the items I swear have been here since I came as a kid in the early 90s. If you like hunting for cheap treasures this is the place to go with random things like magnet toys, hell money, fake gag poops, incense, and plastic swords. Located in Central Plaza, its the area of Chinatown that used to be for tourists. Central Plaza was a romanticized take on China with colorful "chinese" buildings and string-lights and lanterns for night. It's survived so long a shame so much has fallen into disarray, I especially miss the wishing fountain. Luckily Import Bazaar is still running strong. The store itself is small with tight aisles packed from floor to ceiling with lots of different stuff. They try to cluster like-items together so it helps a bit. I personally love the chaos and the store frozen-in-time. My kid was so bombarded with the crazy variety of items here he had a hard time choosing what he wanted. The sweet lady working that day gave him a little toy car for free. They have a hilarious variety of fake cigarettes and cigars for you bad kids :)
