This place is awesome, a perfect nerdy nest for anyone interested in Japanese pop culture and other similar fun things. As soon as I saw the exterior, my mood immediately lifted. My friend recommended it to me when I was having a tough day and ended up buying some holiday gifts and cute little things like stickers here. They have a lot to choose from, variety of prices (you can either come out barely spending anything to getting some expensive high quality merchandise) and the setup of the store is just very lovely to look at. The store owner was really nice and inclusive, you can tell they are passionate about what they do. I want to come back and bring everyone I know with similar interests.

One of the best shops in Portland! Really great variety and selection of any kind of collectible you could want. The team working here is also just insanely kind and welcoming. They really make it an inviting and inclusive space for everyone. Thank you to the whole team here for being such wonderful people.

Great little shop with a lot of rare toy vending machines and very cool selection of things. The guy helping me find pokemon cards for my nephew had a lot of knowledge on them and was able to help me find a good variety of things to gift. Will definitely be back when I need to get gifts!

A very unique store with plushie pokemon (even the trickster/ditto ones), anime and more. My friends and I first discovered it because of the Totoro in front. Once we wandered in, we realized they have a huge selection of nostalgic Asian pop art and toys. My fav area is the colored plushie bins in front. They're so fun to treasure hunt!I love that Portland has a new unique Asian store and wish we had more of these. I also love that this store is LGBTQ+ friendly!

I discovered this shop in the Portland Geek Guide I picked up at the Airport Visitor center and was transported to a magical wonderland of Anime, Manga and so much more.Hard to find collectibles, fabulous artwork and tons of other treasures that made my nerd heart smile.The staff was amazing and super helpful answering all my goofy questions and helping me find things I didn't even know I was looking for.

A welcoming and safe space for everyone to enjoy some quality Anime goods! Can't go wrong with the prices as well! Also, there are some Portland specific specialty Pokémon artwork drawn by the owner! Did I mention this place is veteran owned? If you're in the Portland area, you should definitely drop by this place and check them out!

This little shop is one of the coolest in the area! I'm always recommending it to friends for their selection of neat anime merch, plush toys, and random little desk decorations. The custom art that the owner puts on the shops stickers is cute, and I'll cherish my Snorlax eating ramen as long as i can! The folks that work there have never been anything less than kind and helpful, I cannot recommend it enough!

One of the rare stores you can find anime figurines, Pokemon plushies, and pop art all at once. It's hard to miss the Totoro in front, and even harder to miss the bins of plushies sorted by color inside. All my friends who visit Portland love coming to this store. It's such a cozy and beautiful place and there's so many types of pop products they sell. I once spotted the owner (next time I'll say hi!). While some items are a bit pricier, there's something for everyone. Will be returning!

Met this owner through a comic convention, the absolute sweetest. I knew I had to stop by when visiting Portland! Such a great shop and will definitely be a must visit whenever we come through ~

Such a cool little store, with a bunch of nostalgic characters from animes from my childhood. Also, a lot of funny twist on those characters for stickers, toys, figurines, and more.The workers are very friendly although the place is so packed and the toys are super awesome.

This store was amazing. I wanted to buy everything! It was all so cute, especially the digital print of the Pokémon in Portland. I also loved the huge mural they had painted behind the cashier's desk and the inclusive Pride flags. This place reignited my childhood loves. We will definitely be back!

If my daughters could have designed and stocked a store, it would look exactly like this. We walked out with a knit Totoro, a suction cup stuffy Totoro for the car, an Aerodactyl stuffy, a Totodile stuffy, a load of stickers for the cooler featuring Gudatama cheeks, Sanrio characters and Pokémon camping. We also got alllll the sets of legos of the cutest little street village and they all connect. Ramen house, tea house, sushi shack, seafood shack etc. We got some special Pokémon crashes style figurines, like a Greninja Pickachu. We did the 4 tokens Naruto cat machine and I got the main character! It was endless, everything was so tempting to buy! This was the perfect place to take my eldest while she visited!The ONLY downside is that they added mini claw machines the day AFTER my eldest left, haha! She screenshot an IG story from the store and was so sad that she missed them! Upside, we'll be coming here again to test our skills!We would have rummaged their snack section if we hadn't just eaten a huge lunch! But they had all sorts of drinks and snacks! Lastly, the store usually has a running raffle and the prize is always amazing.

Such a lovely and adorable shop especially if you’re in to anime (specifically Pokémon)! My girl friend referred me I check this place out and I’m so glad I did. For security purposes the front door is locked but when you get to the door an employee opens up for you; if you live in Portland you KNOW locking the front door isn’t the worst idea especially because of their high theft and security of the employees. This shop is the definition of Portland with its friendly and welcoming values promoting the LGBTQ+ community, Asian pop culture, as well as supporting local businesses and promoting their own! I love how the stickers are designed by the owner and made in house. They’re all Portland influenced designs and as a Portland native and Pokémon lover this was perfect for me. Highly recommend checking this place if you’re in to any of these things AND their products are so much within reasonable price compared to other trinket shops seen in the area.

We LOVE visiting this shop! Whenever we have visitors come see us, we make Stumptown Otaku one of the MUST SEE destinations for all our guests. The owners are such kind and good people, they gave our kids cute little Pokémon balls for free. It was so sweet!
