“Sports Basement is my go to sports shop for camping and running stuff. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I was just there this past weekend to look at shoes for walking/running. The associate helped me choose the Hoka Clifton 11 based on my requirements on what I was looking for. Great shoes! I'm happy with my purchase.”
“I've ordered rackets and strings from their website. Deliveries took some time since I live on the east coast. But I've received everything no problem and continue to recommend this shop to my tennis teams.”
“Came from Santa Cruz and was greeted by Jake. Jake was very friendly and professional he gave a bunch of options and insights although my son was not set on a glove and we didn't purchase at this time I will be back and recommend to everyone to come here and support.”
“A little note of appreciation for a truly special place my wife and I visited recently in Japantown, San Jose.
We stopped into Nichi Bei Bussan, and it turned out to be far more than just a shop. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed—and almost immediately, a young man working there greeted us with a smile and handed us a small origami figure. Such a simple, thoughtful gesture, and it perfectly set the tone for the visit.
The store itself is wonderful: Japanese groceries, teas, ceramics, stationery, paper goods, gifts, and beautifully curated traditional items you don’t often see anymore. It feels calm, authentic, and quietly joyful to browse.
What makes Nichi Bei Bussan truly special, though, is the history behind it. The shop traces its roots back to 1902, when it was founded in San Francisco by Shojiro Tatsuno, serving the Japanese immigrant community. The Tatsuno family endured the 1906 earthquake, the forced internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and the long road of rebuilding afterward. In 1948, Shojiro’s son Dave Tatsuno reopened the family business in San Jose’s Japantown, where it has remained ever since. Today, the store continues under the care of the next generation, including Arlene Tatsuno Damron, carrying forward a legacy of culture, resilience, and community.
Knowing that history—and then experiencing such genuine kindness in person—made our visit feel deeply meaningful. We left not just with a few lovely items, but with smiles and a sense of having touched a living piece of Japanese-American history.
If you’re ever in Japantown San Jose, do yourself a favour and stop by Nichi Bei Bussan. It’s not just a shop—it’s warmth, history, and humanity all under one roof.”
“Just walked in right after work and was immediately greeted by a gentleman in a cap as well as travis, who exceptionally knowledgeable in the boot inventory you guys offer. Will definitely be coming back for an Irish Setter :)”
“These guys are the best! Sharks Pool Tables has been taking care of my pool table since 2020, and they’ve been incredible every step of the way.
I had to move twice during COVID, and they were always there to help with disassembly and setup. When I decided to upgrade to Simonis felt, they did an amazing job. Then we moved again, and once again they set everything up perfectly.
Most recently, I had water damage in my home and tried moving the table myself—which was a mistake. I pushed it too hard and snapped the legs, and I was sure the table was beyond repair. I called Sharks Pool Tables, and they completely came through. They replaced the legs, installed new pockets, and reassured me the entire time. Danny personally told me it would be fixed, and he was right.
They called ahead before arriving, told me the job would take two hours, showed up at 11 a.m., and were completely finished by 1 p.m. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for this team. My table looks amazing, and I’m so proud of it again.”
“Great experience buying my new running shoes here. The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to help me find a pair that fits perfectly. Friendly service and very helpful highly recommend”

“Getting our first tuxedos was a big milestone for my brother and I, something we'd looked forward to for years. The garments were everything we hoped they would be. Thank you!
Jim, Faisal and Alex were able to accomodate all of our exacting details, fabric and fit requests. Whether you prefer modern vs traditional styling, or something as niche as matching fabrics across your lapels and cummerbund with that hard-to-find bowtie of sentimental value, they have you covered. As always, it was a pleasure to collaborate.
Last but not least, at least from the experience of family and friends who've shopped here over the decades, Jim & Faisal make a point of remembering you by name when you walk into the store. If you want quality clothing with a personal touch, there aren't many places left like Eli Thomas.”
“Bullseye seems to be a LGS that is somewhat recommended for PPT in the South Bay and today is the first time I've been there. It's surprisingly busy for a small store but then almost all the LGS can be somewhat busy. The plaza is very small and parking can be difficult. Also be careful when you back out because you have to back out into the main street.
The store is not very big and it's mostly catered towards newer guns as it has a small used/consignment section.
People are nice enough and they didn't quell when you do PPT there. They don't charge extra for PPT but they do charge 3% extra for credit card.
I found the price of the guns there to be slightly expensive so I wouldn't say this is a good place for deals. The form you fill out for DROS is online and you do it on your phone with a QR code. It's pretty cool but can be hard if you have a small phone.”
“As my review goes for the actual bowling house is highly rated so is the pro shop. Helpful staff with a lot of supplies on hand. Honest advice without pushy sales tactics. A solid pro shop is the sign of a great place.”
“I had a great experience at Big 5! The employee who helped me was super knowledgeable and friendly. They guided me to the perfect bag for carrying my shotguns and made the whole process quick and easy. Appreciate the excellent service”
“I purchased a R&R outdoor table from Simon at Billiard Wholesale and the process was great. Simon was super responsive and the table looks great. I'd highly recommend them.”
“Reuben (the salesperson) was really helpful and really friendly. He was also VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. I had a fantastic experience. Will definitely be going back to make more jersey purchases!”
“The staff was friendly and helpful. I needed a tra El bCkpa k, with a travel sleeve. While not in abundance, I did find one (Osprey Daylite). The staff assured me that I could return the item within a year, if I found a better item that suits me better. They were helpful and foresightful.”
“I got a snap-back from my GodSon, for my birthday, earlier this year and preferred a fitted. Raymond helped me and had no issue with me exchanging the snap-back for a fitted. Got a new Lid and I'm good to go. I appreciate the willingness to allow an exchange a little late and Raymond had impeccable customer service. I highly recommend this location.”
“Ok, seriously, the best team work here! Shout out to Liz and Sarah! I came in knowing that I wanted the Keb trousers because I have the winter version and absolutely loved it. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Sarah and asked if I needed anything. She recommended trying on the pants even though I love the winter version that I have. Lo and behold she was right, the regular Keb pants are nothing like the winter version, which I was so disappointed by. They continued to recommend other models which I just wasn’t a fan of after trying them out. Liz then recommended the men’s Vidda Pro Lite. Well, guess what, they were PERFECT! I can not say enough good things about Sarah and Liz. The people really make a huge difference and paired with good products, you would have very happy customers :)
I also got the Abiko hip bag which fit amazingly and have lots of room for snacks and drink bottle and I’m so looking forward to take her hiking with me!!! Thank you so much <3”
“Incredible service:D my first time buying online from the Sharks Pro Shop & I'm very happy with the merchandise:D Everything was well packed & protected, got a really good price for everything:D I'm a Canadian customer & hopefully one day I can make it to a game at the Shark Tank, its definately on my bucket list:D To the Sharks team store staff thank you so much, you guys are awesome!:D Turn up the Tank!:D Lets Go Sharks!:D”

“It's just like any other Big 5 store, but customer service at this location tends to be very good, sometimes they are a bit busy, but for the most part their attitude is always positive and helpful.”
“I came in earlier today to check out the soccer equipment and a worker named Angelina was very kind and helpful and suggested the right items for what I was looking for”
“This place have everything for your sporting needs. Actually is the Disneyland of Sporting stores. I could spend hours looking at fishing equipment, boats, motors, guns, etc etc, I got my fishing license renew as well. Ionly thing, I wish they will sell other brands of Outboards. At this point seems like the main brand is Mercury. Customer service was great but you may need to wait on a weekend as it gets crowded.”
“Very helpful and they tried to listen and help to the best of their abilities from my experience when I'm walking around trying to find something they asked me if I'm looking for anything at least two of them have asked me or at least one when I go if you're looking something for here and you want somebody to help you and you don't want to ask help they will ask you if you need any help”
“I went here to get our mixie repaired. The gentleman repaired it for $16 in under half hour. I was very very happy with the result, our mixie works great now 😃”
“Didn’t expect to walk into this place and get hyped, but here we are. YETI makes tough gear and this location showcases it well. Coolers, tumblers, bags, all in different colors and setups. Great for anyone who camps, hikes, or just likes to keep drinks cold for 12 hours straight. I grabbed a Rambler and the cashier talked me into a lid upgrade I didn’t even know I needed. Solid service and the stuff here really lasts.”
“This place is fantastic. Crystal help me out at the register and she also signed me up for the famous footwear program. She has amazing customer service. Really friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. I will definitely be recommending this place and will be coming back for sure. On a side note, this place is got great deals. If you're looking to just get a good pair of shoes and not have to worry about long lines, this place is awesome”
“Had a last minute purchase for a trip, pick up originally said next day. I called the store and the very nice young lady assured me they would pull the item right away and could pick it up, just minutes after my online order. I was in and out of the store within 1 minute. Super friendly staff and super helpful.”
“This review is specifically about the store and not the brand itself. I want to make that clear up front because I do feel differently about each. In my opinion, the brand as a whole is overrated. The prices are on the higher side and, unless you catch one of their BOGO promotions, it’s hard to justify paying full price. I think many of their products could be found at more reasonable costs elsewhere.
However, when it comes to this particular store, I had a really positive experience. The staff was genuinely nice and welcoming. They seemed knowledgeable and ready to help without being pushy, which I really appreciated. The store itself was clean, well-stocked, and very organized. Everything was easy to find, whether you were looking for vitamins, minerals, protein powders, or other supplements. It felt like a one-stop shop for most physical health needs, which is extremely convenient.
I guess the convenience of having everything you need in one place does come with a price, but at least this location makes the shopping experience smooth and pleasant. If you don’t mind the brand’s pricing, this store is definitely a reliable spot.”
“Famous Footwear at Westgate Center offers a good mix of brands, making it easy to find shoes for various styles and needs. My family had a smooth experience browsing and purchasing footwear, with staff assisting with sizing when needed.
The pricing was competitive for an outlet, and checkout was quick, making this store a hassle-free option for shoe shopping.”
“The new location is in a good location. Great place to come to get some consistency with all this rain. Cage prices are reasonable. Bummed though that the 80/90 mph cage is down.”
