Best variety store in Union City, California (CA) 2024

Next to Din Ding dumpling house, Daiso in Union City is One of larger stores in the Daiso chain. The store is well stocked with an assortment of household goods with Japanese branding. Most items are manufactured in China....to no one's surprise. Probably 90% of the items are $1.75. Some are more expensive. They have a good selection of cheap but functional kitchenware and other things you might need around the house. The items they sell aren't meant to be durable but at $1.75 one would not expect them to be. Following Japanese product design philosophy, items are cute and functional. In comparison I wouldn't call similar items at IKEA cute. The store itself is a little on the dim and drab side due to insufficient lighting. They took over an old drug store and kept the lighting. ~East
