China Town Bazaar

Fun little souvenir shop with a wide range of 装饰品诀窍
(Zhuāngshì pn) which I think means knick knacks or decorations. They sell calligraphy pens but I wasn’t able to write this, though I tried for a full 5 minutes. The staff is helpful, and patient. There’s quite a bit of stuff crammed into a small space, and it ranges from the very cheap (and looks very cheap) the to the inexpensive (and doesn’t look cheap) souvenirs to nice decorations. It’s too tight with too many fragile items to bring in younger children (unless they are very well behaved) but there are lots of toys to give to children as gifts. Not surprisingly it’s all made in China, including the Japanese sake serving sets which are quite a bit cheaper than you would find elsewhere. It’s really fun to shop here, and you can’t leave Chinatown with out some sort of souvenir, right?

Very nice store with a ton of interesting gifts. I’ve experienced from some gift shops (across the street) a language barrier when I am looking for a specific item. Staff is very helpful and A+ in my book. If you spend over $ 10 they give you a free gift (a colorful paper lantern) a nice touch.

People at this store are very friendly and try to help you find what you’re looking for. They have a huge selection when it comes to clothing, shoes, jewelry, lanterns, charms, tea, etc… and everything they carry is considerably higher quality than most other stores on the strip. If you walk in and think that some of their prices are a bit higher than other places, just compare what they are selling to that of their competitors and you’ll understand why. Whenever I need a a nice gift, I just run in to Chinatown Bazaar because they stand true to their name, «BAZAAR.» They always have new merchandise coming in and I don’t have to go to a bunch of other shops just to find what I am looking for. If you’re in town, you def wanna check it out! Hope this is helpful! *-*

This place has a lot of knick-​knacks for gifts and general amusement. For 75 cents, I bought a chopstick training holder thing that connects chopsticks. I am uncoordinated when using chopsticks and am curious (and a tad bit excited — dorky, I know) to see how this thing works. It was that or buying a Hello Kitty set of already-​connected chopsticks for kids. Which one would you choose? I also bought a hard eyeglass/​sunglass case for $ 4.99, a bit more than the one I bought (and later lost) in L.A. Whatever. I needed a new one.

Shopping in Chinatown is always an adventure. At least that’s the way I look at it when I get to poke into every little shop looking for nothing but invariably finding something that calls to me. Chinatown Bazaar is no exception.
This store stocks more clothing and purses than most on this stretch of Wentworth. Know that the sizes are SMALL. My friend who weighs about 100 pounds soaking wet was a large. .. .hmm…doubt I’ll be shopping for clothes here anytime soon! I did pick up a little purse that will be perfect for a fancy night out for a steal, though! They also have these interesting cloth posters with Bruce Lee and cartoon characters on them (have no idea what I would do with something like that but they drew quite a crowd!)
The other thing I liked were some of the accessories but I wasn’t willing to search through all the junky jewelry to find something of value. My more patient friend actually found a necklace that I now covet but since I live here (and she doesn’t) I can go digging for treasure anytime.
The store is small and packed from floor to ceiling with stuff. If you’ve got patience and an eye for «treasures» you’ll probably walk out with something you love. As for me? Check out my new purse the next time you see me. You might see my «treasure» of the day.

If you need a souvenir from Chinatown this is the place. They also are a video rental store. Need a Chinese language newspaper? You can get them here too.
