| - I grew up in a very cool, earthquake-y diverse state that boasts many cultures that I was lucky enough to be exposed to since birth. I grew up eating authentic Mexican, Indian, African, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and Japanese cuisine, treats and sweets.
Walking into this store makes me nostalgic of the slice of childhood that was not only filled with American eats and treats, but other cultures yummy goodies as well.
I grew up loving (among other things) - Pocky, White Rabbit - thanks to my aunt always having it in her kitchen drawer (the edible paper on them AMAZED me as a kid) and Keroppi candy (the cute little green frog from the Sanrio clan). Thanks to (Cost Plus??) World Market I can enjoy them without having to order them online, take a ride to Asian Town downtown (where I'm assuming I'd find them) or take a costly plane ride back home every time I get an urge to pig out (which is often. Ok, every day. Don't judge me).
They also have the CUTEST decor (bit pricey though), unique soaps and candles, ALCOHOL from everywhere, flatware, etc.
It's just an amazing store that is way different from walking into Target or any other big box store. I'm in love with this store. Kind of reminds me of City Buddha.
Also, the employees are really nice. I had a few items in my hands and a nice lady asked if I wanted a basket and brought one over to me.
A+ all around.
