Daiso

Always come here and always great finds. Even come back for more. 2 plus dollars. It’s great Asian finds!

I really enjoyed my time here shopping for random things. I bought a few false lashes, an eye lash curler, a laundry net bag, and lots of different stationary items (washy tape, note pads, etc). There’s were so many fun things to look at. I think I spent half and hour just looking at random things. I can see why people can also easily get carried away with buying things. I spent $ 26 on 18 items. Hawaii doesn’t have a lot of stores like this where almost everything is $ 1.50 each. It was a fun experience and I would definitely love to try their other locations. I’ve heard about this place through YouTube gurus and I can see how it can be fun. Leave the boyfriends at home. Mine didn’t care to buy anything lol.

this daiso is a more intimate space than the one in international district. they more or less carry the same items.
i got an orange peeler here, it’s a cool lil knick knack.
i bought a bunch of items from that other daiso my first time there, including a $ 1 gold eyelash curler that comes in a plastic box and it is the best! it fits my eye perfectly and curls impeccably. i haven’t even had to replace the lil gummy inside and it’s been years.
the stationary i’ve gotten at the other daiso is very cute and useful for letters, the origami paper, reusable shopper tote, fuzzy pink soft pouch are all great quality.
they carry the same stuff so it will be the same quality.

I love Daiso. Everything $ 1.50 unless marked otherwise. Thumbs up! We don’t have them in the Midwest, so I always make sure to stop by when I am in the West Coast.

Definitely the quality you’d expect for static prices as low as $ 1.50.
I bought a metal soap dish and one month later, it started to rust. Never going to shop here for anything that I plan to use long term /​staple items. If I do, I’ll come for only the cheap office stationary and gift wrapping.

Daiso used to be on the bottom floor of Westlake. A few years ago when Nordstrom Rack moved in, a lot of other stores had to move, and Daiso’s new location is a lot smaller than it used to be. The aisles are very narrow and the store can feel cramped and claustrophobic. But, it’s still a fun store to browse in. I love the kitchen items. My cats eat almost entirely off little Daiso ceramic plates and bowls, and I’m pretty sure that Musashi’s sushi restaurant in Wallingford buys their small dishes at Daiso, too. I love their stationery sets with cute animals and funny English sayings, notebooks, gift bags, and organizational items. They have tons of little boxes, trays, and other storage solutions aimed at the space-​limited Japanese household. There are also lots of knick-​knacks, toys, and gadgets for just about every imaginable task.
It’s easy to spend a lot of money here, because almost everything is $ 1.50, but it adds up, so be careful. The staff members here have been pretty unfriendly, but I still like this store better than the old Daiso in Alderwood Mall (they’ve apparently moved, but I haven’t had a chance to visit the new one yet). I would’ve given the old location 4 or 5 stars, and I know it’s not Daiso’s fault that they had to move, but the claustrophobic feeling in here is hard for me to shake; if it’s crowded you can barely even move through the aisles without risking bumping someone or knocking items off a shelf.

Have I mentioned how lucky you west coast people are to have Daiso? Japanese/​East Asian products are the cutest things ever, and Daiso has easily the best selection of those products at extremely cheap prices.
This Daiso is located inside Westlake Center, and is honestly the only reason why I visited Westlake (it’s otherwise an unmemorable mall). Compared to the other Daiso’s I’ve been to, this one is very small and cramped. In fact, the cramped feel of this Daiso made me rate this place lower than what I would’ve rated.
Everything inside is $ 1.50 unless otherwise marked, and despite the cramped feel of the store, you still get roughly the same selection variety as some of the bigger Daiso stores in the west coast. The employees were also very helpful in providing assistance if you need, as well as providing check out for your purchases.

This Daiso is smaller than other ones and thus, has a smaller selection of things. I feel like once you’ve been to a bigger Daiso, these smaller ones just won’t cut it… But this location does have pretty much everything that every other Daiso has…

«Get lost in a sea of knick knacks, snacks and value packs.»
It seems that the name Daiso has not yet fully circulated in the Seattle area. There are many people who have not yet discovered the wonderful word of this Japanese $ 1.50 store. There are 4 locations throughout Washington State and each location may slightly vary in quantity of items carried. Goods such travel items, stationaries, light snacks, drinks, cooking utensils, cookwares and many more can be found in the tight fitting aisles of Daiso. Each item, unless marked, is only $ 1.50. Take a quick walk along one of the narrow aisles and find yourself looking at a cute Japanese teacup, stickers, and even slippers. Creative thoughts of future white elephant presents suddenly crossed my mind.
What is the catch to this amazing bargain priced store? All sales are final. I recommend creating a shopping list and committing to what is on that list. The cheap price may cause anyone to immediately impulse buy and forget about the items that they intended to purchase in the first place. Be strong and simply ask yourself how are you going to use the item.

We seriously need one of these in portland. I came to Seattle to visit my fiancé and asked him to take me here after hearing my younger sister (who went to school in Seattle) talk about it. I am a huge sucker for packaging and anything animal related with that cute Asian proportion sizing (big gigantic head, large eyes, tiny body… you get the drift). Everything was so cute here! Most things are a dollar and fifty unless otherwise posted. The stationary they sold were adorable. I bought a few piggy banks for my sisters, an onigiri mold, and a cute journal.

This place is fun for junky little knick knacks.
The problem with it is that it completely packed with people so you can barely move around. Another thing that is bad is the service: you would think I kicked the checker’s cat or something, the way she treated me. Also, the city ordinance is that paper bags cost 5 cents, but they have a big sign behind the counter saying something like, «Seattle Plastic Bag Ban, Paper bags 20 cents» implying that they HAVE to charge that much. Oh, and there is a tip jar next the register… for what are they asking for tips? Doing their job?

So many bargains here! Only $ 1.5! I got a lot of stuff include lock, cosmetic tools, snacks, and so on. A good place to find home or kitchen stuff!

Daiso is the Japanese equivalent of the Dollar Store, and it’s AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING.
So most of the items are $ 1.50 unless otherwise marked. And they have such a wide variety of items that it becomes hard to believe that the items could be so cheap. Dishes, flatware, hardware, tools, stationary, cute and unique Japanese toys, home goods, and even tasty snacks line the aisles here. Daiso’s goods also seem to be of better quality than the Dollar Store. For example, I feel more comfortable buying Pocky here than I would, say, off-​brand gummy bears from the Dollar Store.
Considering how popular it is and how cheap it is, Daiso always seems to be very well put together and never a mess. The employees don’t hassle you and just let you do your shopping.
There should definitely be more of these in the greater Seattle area. I prefer this location because although I hate malls, there is a parking lot that makes the whole experience of driving there and finding parking much smoother than crazy downtown Seattle.

Went to this location based on reviews thinking it would be much bigger and better than the one in Bellevue that is closer to my home. Umm nope! This location is smaller and so packed that its a pain to shop. The aisles are tiny and you have to literally push a person to get past them. I’d venture up to bellevue, much bigger, better selection. And this one charges .20 cents for a bag. Yeah ew no

To compare this to the original Daiso store in Japan and downgrade it on that basis is cruel and unfair. This little shop is as great as it gets as far as unique and good quality Japanese imports go.
This was my first Daiso experience and it’s since been a fixture for me whenever I visit the west coast. Let me tell you, the Daisos in California that I’ve visited are not as good as this one!
Yes, it’s small, but it’s in a convenient location and the staff is friendly. You’re gonna have to weave around people, but that’s just part of the authentic Japanese experience. You’ll see things like bath sponges that you don’t need, but you’ll want, because it looks like a bunny and why doesn’t America make things like this and if it’s only $ 1.50 how many do I buy? (The answer, in my case, is two.)
This store requires time to comb through but will also have many offbeat essentials you didn’t know you needed, like Sanrio-​inspired lunch containers. Bring your lunch to work in disgustingly-​cute style, people! I also get many compliments from house guests on an oven mitt I bought here. When’s the last time anyone ever complimented YOUR oven mitt?
For not living in Seattle, I bought way too much here and would have purchased more if my suitcase would have accommodated it. This little store is a gem.

Let me be clear: the only (THE ONLY) reason why this is 4 stars instead of 5 is because I lived in Japan for awhile, and I know what a Daiso is capable of being. I went to a Daiso once that was three floors. It was INSANE.
But I couldn’t believe my luck when I came to visit Seattle and there was a Daiso! The stationery! The kitchen supplies! The little boxes and containers! The PENS OMG THE PENS. It was a little slice of heaven that I hadn’t realized I’d missed as much as I did.
If you have a choice between another, lesser dollar store and Daiso, always pick Daiso. Always.

Whatever you came in expecting to find, you’ll walk out with at least 10 things you didn’t realize you needed until you came in. I call this the «Target Clearance Mentality.» Except Daiso is so much better because everything is $ 1.50. And with Japan being the top in innovative products, you really won’t realize how nifty a gadget is until you see it. The store itself is pretty cramped but extremely stocked. Everything from organizing baskets to small travel sized items, you can’t go wrong. Even ties are only $ 1.50! :)

This place is great! Especially for ladies :)
It is a Japanese dollar store of sorts, everything is $ 1.50. They have tons of random things.
Some items you may find here are: cute hair clips, origami paper, pens, dishes, slippers, gift bags, wrapping paper, reusable bags, makeup, tons of miscellaneous kitchen goods, etc.
I wish they had these near me. It’s much better than an American dollar store in my opinion!

I love finding little trinkets and household items here and there for only $ 1.50 each! Be aware that you will have to pay for a bag here so bring your own or dish out the 20 cents or whatever it was for the bag.

the perfect size little container/​case for my bluetooth headset has finally been found!!! a pack of 4 containers were $ 1.63. so each one was ONLY $ 0.41!!! I can’t imagine how much it would have cost to find some other super duper designed case to hold my bluetooth headset. really happy. really, really happy.
(please see the photo i posted).

All I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR DAISO. On a recent trip to Seattle, we tried looking everywhere for gloves and they were all sold out at every store we went to. Luckily, Daiso was fully stocked. We even found gloves that you could wear while using your mobile devices too and all for $ 1.50!
Located on the second floor of the Westlake Mall, this location is pretty small compared to others that I have been to. Despite that, they still have all the essentials from cooking ware to false lashes to snacks. Definitely a must visit!

I find that going in here is almost like spending time on Facebook except you’re in a store. You’re so interested in seeing everything that time flies too quickly for you to notice how much time you’ve actually spent hanging around.

Seriously. They have EVERYTHING. You won’t break your bank account shopping here. Or, you may if you decide to purchase 1 of everything in the store for yourself and a friend. The difference between Daiso and a dollar store is that the stuff here is cute, there’s a fantastic collection of goods, won’t break after the first use, and it’s more than a dollar but likely less than two. Oh, and everything is Japanese.
Do you know how many times I’ve waited in line to check out and then seen something across the room, left the line and then returned to the back of the line which has grown by 30 people because I wanted to see what it was (and most probably added) and it to my basket? Plenty!
Anyways, if you’re looking for new stuff, favorite stuff, or cool stuff to be your stuff then spend some time here!
