Toy Stores in San Jose, CA

“Amazing place. Sells at market price and sells a lot of good stuffs. Staffs are super friendly and amazing with customer service. Would always come back for more cards.”

“Local amazing children's bookstore that used to exist everywhere and now are rare. Simply amazing establishment where you can find books and toys that serve real purposes.”

“Feels so good to still see this book store open. The kids section is so well organized but the train table is missing which probably is due to pandemic experience. They have a Harry Potter section with cute stuffed toys etc.”

“I understand that this store is closing down in January. We went in to look for Beatles items but were unsuccessful. Great store with a huge variety. Although the air conditioning was broken and the temporary cooling boxes weren't keeping the air at a comfortable temperature.”

“The staff at this store are friendly and available to help. They very well guided us through the process of building a bear and gave us time to choose what we want. Great experience here!”

“Was in Japantown San Jose recently and checked out Zonkey at the corner of Jackson St and 4th. The store can be easy to miss but look for a Zonkey A-Frame on the sidewalk in front of the entrance. It's a small shop but packed with a lot of great items. There's a whole shelf filled with popular blind boxes and some nostalgic Garbage Pail Kids toys. They also sell a lot of vinyl stickers, keychains, and prints, some anime too. There was this really cool 3D Attack of Titan 12x18 print that we picked up. Their prices were on par with other comic book stores that sell these items. For the amount of space available, they really did a good job organizing and displaying everything. The anime books were on the bottom shelves with other goods on top. There are quite a few Hello Kitty items as well. Some of their custom printed T-shirts were really cool but unfortunately no youth sizes available. Service was good. The employee was helpful when we were asking about different T-shirts and blind boxes.”

“Absolutely LOVE this place. I was at Goodwill next door and found this gem by accident. As an 80s kid who refuses to let go, this place lit a fire in my retro soul. Lots of vintage toy stores seem to be geared more around boys toys but they had lots of vintage Barbies, My Little Pony, Raggedy Anne & Andy, plus lots of unisex toys! There are rows of well-organized items, some very unique things! As a huge MJ fan, I appreciated that they had some of his memorabilia. They had so many Garbage Pail Kids cards, too! I always have a hard time finding them but not here! I'm not a Stars Wars fan but I can say they had a huge selection. So many things here unlocked memories for me and had me feeling like a kid again. I had to go meet my family so my time was limited but I definitely plan to go back again soon! Definitely give this place a visit!”

“Excellent place for collectible cars, hot wheels, etc. floor to ceiling, blew my kid away when he entered the doors. Super owner, very helpful and kind. I took my son on his actual birthday, the shopping experience was a present in itself!!”

“First I would like to say that I never write reviews and this is my first one ever but I just had to write one for the sweetest girl ever. Valerie the sweetest employee ever was the only one working the store when I got there. She had 2 people to pierce, multiple phone calls, multiple customers coming up asking questions, and so much more to deal with all by herself. She did all this with the sweetest smile and an amazing attitude. I was planning to get a piercing there and even though she had 2 other people in front of me she was so helpful, never ignored me and kept checking in on me the whole time. She took her time explaining the pricing, metals and even providing me with her own personal experience. When it got to the actual piercing it was so quick and painless. She even offered to do 2 piercings and of course I couldn’t say no! She made the entire experience so incredibly comfortable, had amazing conversations with me and allowed me to make adjustments to the piercing. Overall one of the best customer experiences I have ever had. Thank you Valerie!! ”

“I came here recently to buy an ao dai for my daughter for Tet. The lady who helped me and my husband was really nice and showed us the sets they had for her age range. I decided to get a red and gold one, and it came with the pants. The store although small has a lot of different merchandise. Can feel a little cramped in there. A good spot for trinkets and a Lotto ticket”

“This is a great addition to the stores at Valley Fair Mall. I have a 9 year old and I myself a 9 year old trapped in a 40yo body. Stores like this really help break things up among all the boring clothes, jewelry and shoes. It helps fill the void of stores like KB Toy stores from the 80s/90s.I would say most of their toys lean more towards Japanese Anime such as Naruto, Dragonball, Transformers etc.Pricing is fair. You can probably get it online for $, but you'd have to wait and can not guarantee authenticity. Because of online competition, they have all sales as final.The service and people working here were very friendly and you can tell were happy to work in the store and help customers.”

“If I did work and have a fair amount of money, I would continue shopping here. I'm very close by to come browse Pokémon cards. Instead of taking care and dating a female that I want, I use my money to buy their cards. I do not need to get a good card each time I go there, I happen like to collect a lot of bulk ones for my collection. A lot of customers especially from the offerup app say it's expensive here but I can hang on to the price and afford them. It is way better to get the cards and pck I need than having it shipped from websites like Pokémon center. Mostly cards from offerup could be stolen Pokémon cards. A few white American males are nice to communicate with. They even recognize my name each time I come in. :) . I'm pretty shock the employees do have value for me. I use to not bond with white Americans well enough but it takes effort to socialize within the white American community. I'm Vietnamese American and barely speak English at home.”

“A great store for party supplies... but what makes this location GREAT 5 STARS rating is the customer service it's great and the staff are very informative and helpful... I would as looking for something I could not find .. the staff jumped in to help find it ... very helpful so if you need something unique this is the place to look”

“This place’s got some friendly staff! My phone died and wasn’t able to start my car (bane of phone keys in this modern age), and the guy over there charged it up for me. Saved my life and my frozen grocery. 100”

“This location is always my go to spot for newly released video games and entertainment related merchandise. The staff members here know what they are doing, but if you get them started on games they are passionate about, you could be busy for quite some time with their conversations. I love their regular sales that they have, but their half off clearance sales are the way to go. Occasionally, items will ring up for less than advertised, which can save you a lot more money.”
