There's a severe lack of kpop stores, or just stores that sell kpop in general, in the city. So it's really nice to have this in San Francisco. Although small and not having the largest selection, the staff is super friendly and the stock is decent for its size. Would highly recommend for any kpop listeners in SF.

They had some gen 2 and older gen 3 albums and cards which was amazing for me! The cashier was also so friendly and helped me find what I wanted and she gave me a freebie of my bias!

I’ve been going to place since COVID, so it’s been really cool to see how much they’ve grown over the years. They have a lot of cool albums and their reels/TikTok’s are pretty relatable.
