Variety Stores in Irvine, CA

“I got the mini air hockey table for my boyfriend. It's really cute, and I'm excited to play. Though when I took it out of the box, it looked like there was some water damage on it. I was also a little upset when she charged me for a bag. Like what am I supposed to do, carry it in my arms?”

“When I was a child, I loved going to Woolworth's mainly because I could always find something for 5,10 or 25 cents. Now, I LOVE going to Daiso. Most items are $1.50, and I can always find something I like.Each visit is like an adventure! The stores are always clean with a great variety of merchandise ranging from practical and functional to frivolous and fun. I especially like the colorful displays and sometimes puzzling "Jinglish" slogans on some merchandise. You can find everything for automotive to zen at Daiso.Update 11/2/22: Most items are still $1.50, the store is amazingly clean and it's still a good shopping experience!Update 3/29/24: They have raised most prices to$1.75, some items cost more.I like this store because it's always clean, well-stocked and, from what I can see well-managed.”

“The official Miniso TikTok account is constantly posting from this specific Miniso so I was under the impression that it's probably the best Miniso out there. I was overwhelmed, but I wasn't wrong! This Miniso is super crowded, Irvine Spectrum already has a ton of people so it's no surprise that Miniso would be full of people. It's also very big, but I would say it's about the same size as the Miniso in Del Amo Fashion Center. However, this location seems to get other items before other Miniso's do. I've never seen Heroine makeup or hair accessories at any other Miniso I have gone to. This Miniso also carried Smiskis when I went! The employees are nice and very patient. My mom held up the line a bit because she couldn't decide which travel utensils she wanted, and the employee made a suggestion that helped us! I would definitely come again but definitely during a time where it's not so busy. There's tons more things that this Miniso has to offer, but it was hard with the big crowd and how hot the store got.”
