    “This shop may not have the biggest array of models, miniatures, paints or tabletop gaming supplies, but it more than makes up for it and being a sincerely positive space with an excellent selection, board games, puzzles, and a great array of community nights to come in and spend time with people with shared hobbies and interests The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and good at their job and make sure that everyone feels welcome They support as many local artists as they can to the best degree of their ability I have lived in plenty of places where game stores were pillars of their community where people came in, not just for gaming just for hobbies, but to support people in their community and I see this shop as having that same potential”

    “I inherited a coin collection from my family, and found the U.S. Stamp and Coin company online. I met with Ron and he assessed my collection, explained what I had and paid me much more than my research suggested. He was totally professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Ron and his company.”

    “Recently I went to the store with a massive list of various things to buy and the staff immediately left what they were doing to help me out. When they didn’t have exactly what I needed, they offered a sensible alternative. When I was at the cashier they also applied the student discount before I even remembered to ask.”

    “I pick up a new kit every time I walk in here! Always something new, his stock is always rotating. I don't think I've seen the same kit on his shelves twice. Everything from entry grade to perfect grade unleashed, and reasonable prices (especially with the additional 25% off). Not just Gunpla, but also kits from Evangelion, One Piece, DBZ, Star Wars, and others. Keep in mind, it is primarily a Gunpla store if you're looking for anything else. The staff also has given me great advice on my builds, as well!”

    “We've always seen this colorful kite shop that you can't miss on Grant Ave. It is happy, fun, and full of kites, toys, and more. We've stopped by for souvenir pennies outside in front of the store. But, our last visit I saw beautiful Chinese new year lanterns in the window. I really liked it and hadn't seen this specific decoration anywhere in the 5+ stores I had already been to in Chinatown earlier that day. It is a beautiful red lantern decoration with velvet and sequins on it. I bought one to take home. Once I got home, I soon realized I wanted to get 4 more and hang them on my stairway. SF is at least an 1hr+ drive each way for me, so I called their store to see if they could ship it to me. They took my info and charged me for the lanterns and shipping. Albert, the owner, shipped it the next day. They shipped it on Monday and we received it on Tuesday! Probably because we live relatively close, but I really appreciated the fast and accurate shipping! They also packaged the lanterns well and carefully. Thank you Albert and Chinatown Kite Shop for our new Chinese New Year decorations! I am so happy. This is definitely a trustworthy shop and quality products and service!”

I have made many purchases from his gallery and I trust Dennis to be a man of his word when it comes to the authenticity and quality of these items. Thanks for sticking around Dennis.

    “Great! PKMN: Nothing sealed except 3x shadowless boosters for $1200 each. Otherwise some really nice vintage singles I had to scoop, and some good binders of EX and trainers/playables. They were going through a recent intake of a lot of SWSH/modern cards/just a bunch of more singles. Magic and other gaming: what didn't they have! Mats, binders, dice, board games... i mean all tons of new MTG product...a lot more. I took most time buying singles. Should have gotten another Binder. 2 staff folk were very nice and helpful. Good chats. Will be back when I'm in town, for sure. Stores here in the bay are really making me love TCG hobby no matter the game/product.”

    “As a knife enthusiast I felt in Heaven in this small, family owned shop. Although small in size, they have great selection of knives, including custom, rare collectable models and discontinued models as well . Keep in mind not all knives are displayed on their website, so, if you have chance, visit them. I spent great time during the 5 days I was in SF and I would say I made some friends. Great service from the owners and from the staff. Very helpful, very knowledgeable.”

    “I have been a customer of Dennis King for over 40 years. I have purchased everything from sports cards, non-sports cards, 49er Starter jackets, 70s Warriors warm up jackets, baseball caps, sports programs and schedules. King's Baseball Cards is the one stop shop for the intelligent connoisseur who is also a smart shopper of sports memorabilia. Prices are reasonable and fair. I am certain Dennis has some items at good prices that you will be unable to find elsewhere. Many decades ago, I came into Dennis's original shop on Bancroft, looking to fill a super rare non-sports card set. Dennis helped me fulfill a long time dream to complete my 1962 Mars Attacks set at a reasonable price. Dennis told me that I was offering to pay too much. That set alone is now worth a small fortune if you can find someone willing to part with one. Dennis is always willing to share his vast knowledge of sport cards. He has likely forgotten more than I will ever know. Dennis, thank you for making my collection what it is today.”

    “Great for basic supplies. I stopped in for a quick t-shirt painting project. I was surprised they had a good selection of affordable t-shirts for the project. I had only gone in looking for fabric paint and iron-on letters. The salesperson was new, but very friendly and did their best to be helpful.”

    “After my popcorn excursion I decided to stay out a bit and go to Michael's, enjoy the fresh air. I've been watching Bob Ross lately. I find him to be very calming. He's inspired me to tap into my artistic side. I did not purchase anything. I just perused the art section and beading section to get an idea of what I want to start with. Anytime I had a question there was a staff member nearby available to answer my question. Pricing varies by the level of quality you are seeking. Eager to get into my new hobby.”
