Courteous & cool staff. A very inspiring shop for artists & art lovers!

Love this store! Bought a Tokidoki bag there a few years back, and I still get tons of compliments! I also love the Giant Robot Store 2, which is across the street. I got a really cool drawing there and Im figuring out where to hang it up in my room. Great store! Totally recommend you go there once they open back up!

Love this place but still closed :(

What a great place. The exhibits are constantly changing and theyre almost always awesome. Up and coming artists alongside established artists makes for an interesting experience each time you go into the shop. And everything is for sale! A great place to get into collecting art.

Great art and interesting gifts

Great t-shirts!

Have been coming here for 20 years. Going to bring my 11-year old who is obsessed with all that is Japanese-y. A chip off her old block, it’s iconic as it is important. 💙💙🏁💸💸💸

The lady came in 30min late today December 19th 2020 and made us wait a extra 45 min to set up. Pretty unorganized

Great place to visit if you are in West LA

One of the most important places in existence in the city of Los Angeles, and when it comes to pop culture and the art world perhaps one of the most critical hubs of creativity this world has left.What started as an influential and incredibly important magazine focused on Asian pop culture and beyond has turned into mankind‘s great rare hope for excellence and brilliance in the arts and culture, design and beyond... when you visit in person, downright 100% friendliness and community.A++++

Such a unique toy store. Geared for kids... and the kid in every adult. So many interesting things but be prepared to shell out some big bucks since many items are either collectors level or at least unique enough to command a steep price.

One of my favorite shops to visit, always find great pieces there, pioneers!

If you want real toys that can entertain any kids and kids-at-heart, this is THE toy store for you. Tomica die cast cars galore. The staff is just friendly and genuinely helpful. They wrap the toys for you for free if you are intending to give it as a gift. I wish theyd carry retro robots too, that would be awesome.

Giant Robot is yet another fun, unique, and trendy shop along this section of Sawtelle Blvd. the staff here are always friendly and happy to have you peruse their wares. Their stock ranges from small figurine mystery boxes to hats and clothing, books, and interesting gifts for nearly anyone.

The original and still fresh after all of these years. Great little art shows, events, and of course, stuff. Make sure to check out the other half of the store across the street too.

The best store for cool Japanese stuff!!

Love this store. Super friendly staff and anime related stuff like clothing and toys.

Coolest store in sawtelle!!! Bunch of cool art and fun gadgets and books you might only find here :)

Nostalgic store reminds me of their magazine days. One of the most humble artistic small shops that holds art related material to artists from la and internationally . There you can find prints, toys, pins, stickers, T-shirt’s, hats and many more.

Remarkably cool, interesting, unique, very fairly priced and nerd cool. I love this place.

As a fan and patron of the arts I wish the store was in Austin so that I could go to it every day. the gallery on the other side of the street also featured really beautiful artwork again I just wish I had more money so I could buy all the things.

Such a unique toy store. Geared for kids

Giant Robot has a store and a gallery. I went to both. I loved the gallery. It’s a tight space that’s well run and has excellent curation. Their insta is a lot of fun.

This is like a Japanese yard sale put into a store. All sorts of weird nick jacks and art pieces. Yet you can almost always find something interesting that you MUST have.

Rare Pops and great T-shirts. Youll surely be back to add to your collection. Small but fun!

Cute little shop with Japanese toys and novelties. Pricey, but the stuff is high quality and eclectic. I saw a few things that are from American Animated shows, but the majority was Japanese. I appreciated that it wasnt all common Anime stuff either - it was more artsy.It made me think of a lot of my friends and wished they were in LA with me checking out the store. One of their displays has shirts and art books and nicely drawn serial comics. Overall it was a nice shop to browse in, though I didnt find anything I just had to have for the price. I almost bought the Ninjabread cookie cutters. Those were really awesome.

Its so hard to find the perfect gifts. Luckily i found this store. They have amazing toys to choose from. And its from different countries too.Great!

Cool place with a lot of neat t-shirts and other things that would make great gifts.

Great place to get gifts for birthdays, etc.

Nice could have a better choise of items

Cool knick knacks and local art showcasing popular Japanese pop culture.

Mighty mini!. Love the gallery and exhibitions rotating through.

Awesome store and friendly staff. :D

A great collection of books, toys, paper and clothes. Such fun.

All kinds of cool stuff to buy here from books to collectibles. I always stop by here while Im in the area to see if theres something new(and there always is). The staff there is chill and there to help when you need it.

Independent store selling cool, nerdy items with vintage styling and decor -- boom! The cashiers have always seemed nice, friendly and down-to-earth too.

This place is so awesome. Leave your wallet at home or youll wind up buying a ton of things.

Any kind if key chain from japan, can be found there.

Trendy clothing that is just popping according to the young trendy merchant .. my daughter loves her shirt

A tad little, but charming

Always find something unique. Great place.

Cool little shop with collectable toys and misc knick knacks. Definitely nerdy, but good place to geek out for a bit and do a bit of browsing.

Love browsing through this cozy store. Hard to walk away without buying a knick knack.

Quirky little shop with whimsical pop culture products. Very local and offers exclusive Sawtelle Japantown merchandise.

The best of quirky, modish, LA. A highlight of Sawtelle and the kids just love it. If youre a tourist looking for something different in the wastes of the Westside you cant do better.

This place has a very cool selection of stuff. Pretty expensive though.

Fun clothing and accessories. Grabbed a hat.

Awesome store with all sorts of cool trinkets, mostly Japanese. The only downside is that its so damn pricey.

Staff is super friendly! Nice little shop!

Art, books, novelties, decor and tee shirts for the discerning hipster.

Great place for toys and stuff!!

Love the style and genre

Found a corgi pin here! Awesome!

Dope street art / graffiti shop in West LA.
