Customer Experience

Pros:

  • "A SUPER CUTE PLACE! From what I’ve seen, there is a line to enter, less than 30 minutes for me and my friend, but it seems to go relatively fast and also means the place inside isn’t jam-packed."
  • "Just being able to look at everything they had to offer was fun."
  • "It was very fun looking around."
  • "Even if you have no intention of purchasing anything, Toy Tokyo's selection is worth looking at alone."
  • "Place is pretty awesome when you step in because you got all this designer toys greeting you."
  • "It’s easy to get lost in details in this relatively small shop."
  • "They have a metric ton of toys to look through, including exclusives, so give yourself some extra time to shop."

Cons:

  • "Make sure check your loose figures because I bought gashapon but later figured out that 2 out of 7 pieces were missing parts or broken entirely."
  • "There are no public restrooms and there is no parking."
  • "🚨 Totalitarian measures were used to keep me from shopping at said store."
  • "Don’t buy blind box here. It looks like every item in the blind box has the same chance to get. But the staff will cheat and pick the good one out and leave the unwanted one."
  • "They don't stand behind any damage at all."
  • "Wouldn't give me a refund or replacement for a stolen package."
  • "Really disappointing. I came to visit from Texas and I specifically called asking if they could ship things if I showed up at the store and they said yes."
