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?”

“This store is spacious, clean, and well stocked for the most part. Occasionally, they might be a bit sparse in some areas, but on average, they seem to carry more inventory than other Daisos. They carry some items here that aren't commonly found elsewhere, so it's usually worth a browse if you're near a Daiso.Most items here are generally priced at the $1.75 that Daiso is famous for, but watch out for the specially priced items. For example, an iced tea bottle here was $6, which is priced more than what some markets sell them for. As a note, they list their closing time at 9pm, but the past couple of times I've visited, they have closed an hour earlier than the listed time.”

“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.”
