“Thank you for Dr John Pham for his great job. I appreciated him and his team. They are very friendly and helpful. Dr Pham is a professional dentist and takes good care of his patients. I found him online and read his reviews. I thought I would visit a few dentists to compare the price. However I decided to use him at my first visit because he explained clearly and gave me more information about my tooth implant. During the whole procedure, he payed his attention and let me know what was doing to my tooth. Today I was very happy to get my tooth implant done and my teeth cleaning too. I needed to pay an extra $100 to my previous dentist due to coffee stain but Dr Pham didn't charge me after he checked how bad of my coffee stain. I never had this kind good service before. I definitely will recommend him to my family and friends.”
“walked in thinking it’d be a quick stop for one gift but ended up spending almost an hour in the cozy back corners. the staff member near the poetry section noticed I was lost and actually asked what I was looking for instead of just nodding past me which was a nice change. found this amazing collection of poetry books I wouldnt have seen in a big store its definately my new spot for grabbing gifts for freinds. the place has an open, quiet energy that just feels different than other stores, kind of like everyone inside is on the same wavelength. didn't get rushed out even when they were busy which is rare these days. grabbed a couple things for myself to because they had a small display of local journals and I couldn’t resist the hand drawn cover im a sucker for that kind of detail. I will absolutly be coming back next time im in town”
“The energy you get when you walk in the door. The people you encounter from the staff to the customers. The selection of books for kids and adults, all just amazing. ??♥️”

“I just discovered this place. I love it! They have a good selection of classic literature. I've gone back twice in less than a week. Prices for paper back are very reasonable. Hardcovers are a bit more expensive but they are in really good condition. The staff is very kind and helpful.”
“The best shop to buy all the stuffs for baby and young kids! Fast shipping and high quality All Chinese books for children are bought from yo baby. The quality is very good and can be read for a long time! And the delivery speed is super fast. I look forward to receiving it every time.”
“This book store is like a treasure hunt, it's a great place to spend a long time digging through each shelf. Every aisle is piled from floor to ceiling with books, many of which are older editions or out of print pulp. I found nice quality collections of both Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler novels when I was in this week, which are going to be very welcome additions to my home library.
They also have a cabinet of signed books behind the counter. Great place to spend an afternoon with reasonable prices.”
“An awesome art gallery! I love that there’s always something new rotating in. I was especially glad to catch the Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake exhibit. It’s also very cool that you can buy artwork made by local artists such a great way to support a community!”
“This place is DANGERIOUS! ? you will walk in and come out with unexpected items you didn't intention at all!!! Really nice layouts for presentations and also just the qualities of the products are phenomenal! ❤️ LOVE this store ?”
“I’m an avid reader, and The Book Alley is now my favorite place to find rare and second-hand books. It’s a bit tucked away in Pasadena, but worth seeking out. The store is like a hidden gem with shelves upon shelves of well-organized, gently used books. I found an original edition of a Hemingway novel, which made my day. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with any requests.”

“Kinokuniya in Santa Anita mall is a great location to shop for Japanese manga, books, stationary, and most importantly Smiskis and Sonny Angels! I got a Smiski Toothbrush Holder for only $16.95. Prices are not marked up. Staff were very attentive and nice! Would come back for sure”
“Amadeus rocks! Small bookstore that carries books from Unamed Press as well as an assortment of new and used books. Book selection varies from classics to modern. They have more alternatibe narratives and authors than most bookstores. Great neighborhood and great staff.”
“I visited the Wonder Emporium for the first time today to find a gift for my granddaughter, and I was delighted by the experience. They even offered to gift wrap her presents, which was a lovely touch. The husband and wife who run the store were incredibly friendly and enjoyable to chat with. It felt refreshing to shop in a physical store rather than ordering toys online from Amazon. I will definitely return for future gifts.”
“An amazing asset to the community, beautiful location, kind people and a fun selection of books and gifts. They also have a wonderful children's story time on Sundays at 10am!”
“If my first phone call to EIE is any indication of the kindness and helpfulness offered here, then we are in good hands. I've not visited in person yet but Marty is one of the most warm and knowledgeable people I've spoken to about homeschooling options. What a warm welcome. EIE is well-established, rooted in the founders' own personal experiences and successes, and came recommended from another parent whose child attends. The founder has proven to be a lovely human, as a first impression. Our family are looking forward to meeting them in person. Thank you, Marty!”
“I ordered an old 1840 book from their website and it arrived the next day. As soon as I ordered I got a personal email from Kelvin and Javier letting me know what to expect and an immediate reply when I followed up with a concern. The book arrived carefully wrapped and beautifully packaged. Great selection, top-notch shipping, and impeccable customer service. It is refreshing seeing someone take such pride in their business. Thank you for such a great experience!”
“Nice little bookstore. Clean and welcoming atmosphere! A lot of books are used but in great condition. Great selection, especially in fiction and fantasy. They had a good amount of vinyls but I didn’t look into those.
Prices were great.
I’m excited to go back and support them!”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting “The Good Shepherd Catholic Store” and I must say, the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted warmly by Ms. Jacqueline and Ms. Yvonne. A great place for all your Catholic supplies books, statues and so much more. Because of their services, I will revisit the store and recommend The Good Shepherd Catholic Store to All!!!”

“I'm a volunteer that works in the office there. I am on the BOD committee, we're the ones that are in charge of the office. When I haven't been of service to the office I have been going there for 28 years now, being involved with many of the different committees.”
“So many cute, practical, and inspiring religious gifts! I went in to pick up a Chinese Bible for a friend and was surprised by the abundant choices there are! I am so glad we have this gem in SGV!”
“Overall good store - needs more options in clothing especially for female customers.
A few decent options for kids — but it left something to be desired !”
“Whoa a true gem of a bookstore not just for highland park but for LA. The kind of place I see myself going to once a month at least.
Selection is top tier and very diverse from rare Japanese art books to vintage philosophy etc. Truly something for everyone. The community-focused vibe of the place encourages conversations between not just with the friendly shopkeeper but also between patrons.
The stationary selection is also excellent- not many places that carry Mnemosyne for example.”
“(Translated by Google) I am happy to recommend. For its fine attention and the diversity of spiritual support content, I recommend that its good prices and quality(Original)Me complace recomendar. Por su fina atención y la diversidad de contenido de apoyo espiritual, recomiendo por que sus buenos precios y calidad”
“A lovely little bookstore with a few gift and card accoutrements at the front and a large selection of books to peruse.
The clerk (owner?) that I dealt with when I went in was highly personable and assisted me in getting a book they didn't have in stock. It took only a few days for them to get it in! Amazon may have done it faster, but the pricing and small shop experience definitely outweighs that. Plus I was able to find a really cute collection of cards that I bought for my siblings and niece and nephews birthdays coming up.
Plus there's a Dobby behind the counter and a little hide and seek game for kids who visit the store (see the counter for the details, I forgot them). Nothing beats that local shop experience.”
“Beautiful little shop located in basement..Both of my boys were doing their confirmation within weeks apart.I was able to get them each a lovely gift to have blessed on their big day.the lady who helped us was very sweet and helpful.I think I'll be doing all my gift shopping there from now on!”
“Very nice manga store! Have both Traditional Chinese and English manga~ the owner are super nice and helpful~ they even host some anime/manga related events sometimes~”
