Sanrio Surprises - Temple City, California

龔振勝

Small little store packed with a lot of cute stuff. I came here to buy a gift for a friend's daughter, then I gave it to my friend, and said, "You can keep it safe for her. I figured T-shirts, she'd grow out of but something like this keychain, she can keep with her for a while --unless she gets jacked." My friend said, "I'm not gonna' lie, this is so cute, I wanna' jack it from my daughter!" Good thing I didn't take him to this store! 😉
They do also sell t-shirts here, if you must get some.

Cute store packed full of so many sanrio items! They had figurines, clothing, backpacks, mirrors, plushies, sock, blind boxes, keychains and so much more! I was surprised to see a lot of rarer sanrio characters that are less popular sold at this store, like chococat, hangyodon, and my sweet piano! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I was also really happy to see that they had blind boxes that had already been opened, as I personally like to know what I am getting.

Had to visit this store on our trip down south. My daughter was so happy to have found a Keroppi plushie. The customer service was great, and the lady who helped us didn't mind showing us around and telling us about their new acrylic products. We will definitely be back on our next trip.

They have so many kawaii Sanrio goods packed to the brim here. It's overwhelming, dangerous and quite fun to shop in. This store carries a lot of goods that are sold exclusively in Japan, henceforth the higher price. The staff here is nice.

Small shop with tons of cute Sanrio merch. Stock looks to be a tad bit unorganized, but plentiful. In my opinion, this makes shopping here fun - you don’t really know what you’ll find.

They have plenty of blind boxes, but the cool thing about this place is that they have an “open blind box policy” (as said by one of the employees), where you can open the blind box to see what you get before you buy it. Their blind box stock is plentiful, so if you don’t mind not being surprised, this place is good for that.

An older woman employee here was very helpful and friendly. I forgot to get her name, but she was very knowledgeable about what they had in stock. I also overheard using a phone number for rewards points here, so that might be something to look into. Overall, very cute store for a gift!

Was followed around by one of the managers and made to feel uncomfortable the entire time I was looking for gifts. I’ll add this behavior was exclusively done to me while I was looking for stuff because there were other customers in the store that were not followed or made to feel uncomfortable while they were browsing for stuff they wanted to buy.

Overall any time I looked for something or moved to look for something I was followed and being watched and once I noticed it multiple times, I left before making a purchase.

My favorite Sanrio store. I have been coming here for years. The staff is very helpful. Miranda, the owner, is very kind.
Prices have increased, but that is everywhere. Things have changed, like not getting trinkets with a purchase. But again, that isn't the stores fault. It's inflation and corporate.

I am an adult and I consider this place my DIsneyland. Always grateful for their service. Definitely my happy place.
