“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.”

“Spent part of the afternoon chatting with Nathan — he’s the man! Looked through the little collection I brought in and gave me tons of info and helped me sell the coins to the shop. He also showed me some insane coins they have. Come in and ask for Nathan!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“My first time here. They have a great selection. I do think the mega evolution 6 pack booster for over 70 bucks was a bit scalpy but it is what it is. I ended up pulling a mega Gardevoir ex which made things better haha”

“Hidden gem for board gamers. They have a great stash of well selected board games. Yes it’s basically piled high with stuff and it’s not the most comfortable shopping experience but that’s part of the charm.”

“I’ve bought packs from there many times and they’re always in stock and reasonably priced, my friend has also hit two sir’s from there so it’s probably not repackaged.”

“My partner and I usually stop by this card shop whenever we go to Stonestown, and it’s become one of our favorite places to visit. Both staff members are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I always seem to have amazing luck pulling cute hits from the most random packs, and whenever I pull something special, they always give me a free card sleeve to help protect it. It’s such a thoughtful gesture that really shows they care about their customers. Great service, great atmosphere, and always a fun experience. Highly recommend!”
