Department Stores in San Jose, CA

“Nordstrom is one of those rare places that still treats customer service like a competitive sport. The quality is consistently solid, the men's department is dangerous for your wallet, and it's still my go-to spot for dress shirts, slacks, and anything that requires me to look more responsible than I actually am.

What really sets Nordstrom apart is the return experience. You know that feeling when you return something elsewhere and suddenly you're being cross-examined like you're on a true crime documentary? Not here. Returns are refreshingly painless, and the staff genuinely seems focused on solving problems instead of creating them.

Yes, parking during the Half-Yearly Sale can feel like you're competing in the Hunger Games, but once you're inside, it's easy to remember why people keep coming back. Great service, quality merchandise, and a shopping experience that still feels a step above the rest. If retail had a VIP section, Nordstrom would be it.”

“I come here all the time and it's a great Daiso. The selection is quite large and they have all kinds of goodies here. Specifically I would come here if you are buying:
- Stationary
- Travel gear (small shampoo bottles to fill etc)
- Kitchen cleaning supplies
- Bathroom cleaning supplies (air fresheners etc)
They also have a cool camping section that I haven't seen at other Daiso and a bunch of Asian snacks for selection but I recommend going to the Mitsuwa next door as the snacks can be a little pricey.”

“Aaron the front end coordinator and Aerytu are amazing. Great customer service when we were trying to return a rug and made the process easy. Will be shopping at this location given their great work.”

“Marshalls is a great store with bargains on beans nene items. I like that there many one of a kind items along with some key clothing pieces available in several sizes. I found great sweaters for me and my grandkids for the winter season. Amid the sake prices on Halloween decor, the Christmas stuff is out in full fashion. So I found my Christmas items with Mr and Mrs Claus for my front yard.
I also found great kitchen towels and a huge selection of beauty products

“Its a nice store with a lot of varieties. And I find the pricing is good only when its on sale or clearance. Otherwise everything seems not worth the money except few brands.”

“Daiso at Eastridge Mall offers a wide variety of Japanese household items, from kitchenware and stationery to beauty products and snacks. The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse through the aisles. Prices are affordable, with most items priced around $1.75, making it a great place for budget-friendly shopping. The staff is friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall shopping experience. Whether you're looking for unique gifts or everyday essentials, Daiso is a must-visit spot in San Jose. It's a fun place to explore and discover new items.”

“My go-to surplus store. I've made it a point to drop by every couple of months to see what's new.

A lot of stock tends to sit for a bit and doesn't seem to get marked down, so if you're in the market for a specific article, double check what it's going for online.

However, they tend to get more unique uniforms and equipment than just your standard USGI kit. But whatever your fancy, be it airsoft, collection, or reenactment, you may just find what you need here.

On top of that, it's also a large workwear store. You can find a lot of popular brands in multiple sizes and variance to fit your scope of work.

The staff are great too. They'll let you know if a certain item isn't eligible for return and are more than happy to help you find the right fit for your gear.”

“This five star review is for Zoleikha who works in the jewelry department. She is very friendly and has great customer service. I arrived to Macys today around 11:40 am. I went to the jewelry department to do a return.
At first I saw Janet who also works in the jewelry department. I asked her if she could help me with a return. She said she was helping a customer and had one ahead of me. Janet said besides I'm the only one here today. I'm by myself. I said ok thank you I can wait. Once she left I heard her say in a low voice this will take a while. I waited until 12 and saw Janet helped the two customers she mentioned. What does she do! She left and went to a small room. Janet left me waiting.
I saw Zoleikha and asked her if she could help me. She smiled and said sure. She wasn't on the clock yet and decided to help me. The whole process took about 5 minutes. I did see a difference in treatment and customer service. Very disappointing.”

“I had a great time shopping today at home good / E Brokow street San Jose. I absentmindedly put down my purse somewhere in that store. Fortunately a staff name Dragana found it and returned. I was panicking when I lost it. Dragana is a wonderful employee. She found a lost purse and returned to customer. She is such honest, great person. I am very grateful and will continue to shop at that store because they have wonderful employees and safety environments. Thank you so much Dragana ?❤️”

“For it being Christmas time .. EVERYONE in the pickup/return line were smiling and very helpful! The line went quick and every customer seemed happy with their service. Merry Christmas, JCPENNEY Crew!”

“10.27.25 12pm Westgate Mall seemed quite empty. Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx had some shoppers though. Ross had horrible merchandise, just browsed there for 10 min. Ross also had a security guard, who was very nice, but really? People steal from ROSS???

Anyway, our daughter found 2 cute outfits for her niece from this TJ Maxx, which has very good merchandise, not as nice as Nordstrom Rack but still very nice household items and clothes. We left with kitchenware, clothes, and snacks! Our cashier was a lovely young lady.”

“Came in to this location for the first time and I loved it. It was clean and a very friendly a lady Kay assisted me and even walked me to the aisle I needed. The store was very clean compared to other Ross stores. When I got to the register the same lady Kay was my cashier and she is so friendly and fast. Their were about 8 people in front of me when I got in line but thanks to Kay she got to me super fast. I will definitely be returning to shop at this location. Customer friendly, clean, and so much items to choose from.”

“They had a lot of good discounts during the christmas time that I bought! I still have a little soap dispenser that is a reindeer themed that I bought years ago! Great for in house decorations with paintings that I also got a couple of.”

“Okay I stumbled into this Almaden Expressway location over a year ago, completely by coincidence. At the time I wasn't familiar with the area so, after making several purchases, I never was able to return to this specific location because I couldn't find it again. I am sooo excited to have FINALLY found this one again! The plethora of furniture, accessories and all types of home furnishings for extremely reduced prices is so satisfying. I always find great, high quality options here. If you prefer higher quality furniture but don't want to pay high quality prices, check here first! Especially if you aren't looking for whole sets like an entire set of living room furniture. If you prefer to find several not-so-perfectly-matched quality pieces that complement each other, this is your store! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!”

“I accidentally ruined my pants while doing yard work for my mom. Since I only flew in for a couple of days, I needed to get another pair of jeans. Fortunately, this store was nearby. It was clean and well-organized, making it easy to get in and out! The shopping cart stopping at the doors made my day, and it was entertaining to watch.”

“I’m glad there’s a place like this where we can get namebrand clothing at an affordable price. The Nordstrom rack in Oak Ridge has a great selection of men’s clothing as well as women, clothing, and shoes. I love that they have at least four registers open so that they can get us customers through promptly. It is our go to place to go shopping.”

“Got everything on my shopping list and more! Was able to shop efficiently as early mornings it is not too crowded. Service and staff were friendly! I shall return! Happy shopper here!”

“I love shopping at Target, especially after Halloween when they have amazing deals. I always scan the items to make sure they are really discounted. I got some stuff for 90% off! This store is not the best though. The front part is messy and crowded, but it gets better as you go further in. The weirdest thing I saw was that they had locked up the men's clothing, but not the alcohol. That makes no sense to me. Why would anyone steal a shirt or a pair of socks? I wish this Target had more stuff in stock too. Sometimes I can't find what I need.”

“Received great customer service from Roxy & Angeles. The experience at the register was awesome. They made our shopping experience fun. Thank you for your excellent service ladies.”

“Target on Capitol Expressway is a convenient stop for everyday essentials, offering groceries, clothing, electronics, and home goods. The store is well-organized, making it easy to navigate, though certain seasonal items may have limited availability.

The self-checkout stations help streamline the process, but checkout lines can still be long during peak hours. While the selection of household essentials is solid, some shoppers mention that inventory for specialty items can be inconsistent. Despite minor inconveniences, Target remains a dependable choice for quick and efficient shopping.”

“This store offers limited options, lacking many well-known characters. The available toys are of average quality and lack visual appeal. The pricing is quite high, even for the smallest items. Overall, it doesn't provide good value for the money.”

“The store gets extremely crowded during the holidays, but the younger employees are especially friendly. I scored some nice discounts on purses! A standout was a tall young lady in handbags—her name might have been Vanny—she was very sweet and helpful, and my mother loved her too. Haven’t seen her around lately, but overall the customer service here is excellent.”

“They have lots of interesting household products at reasonable prices. Some clothing or shoes items may have a little defects, so make sure your selection doesn’t have it. Anyway you can always return them if you are not satisfied with them.”

“I’ve been coming to this target forever and they have always been so helpful! Anytime I have a question or need the employees always answer and help getting me it even if it’s not on the shelf! The store is always clean and organized! I shop here all the time and will continue to come!”

“I love wskonnekt and buy a ton of things on here. It's amazing what a variety of stuff they have and at great prices. I still can't get over the fact that I got over 40% off a Torque MMA shirt. Yet they have way more than just clothes; I've bought a lot for my home too. Shipping is fast too. I've been telling everyone I know about it- highly recommended!”

“This store has fresh produce, pantry items, and household supplies all in one place. They carry a good variety of products, and the staff were friendly during my visit.”
