The Hob Nob Shop

I’ve been shopping here for a while now and I have made it a regular stop every time I am in little tokyo. Jamie always has something new a great.

Owner bad attitude. No greets. No food or drinks allow to bring in. They will tell u to leave. Clothes are over price. U can get the cheaper clothes somewhere else. Don’t bother to buy it here

If you’re in Jtown, Hob Nob is a must visit for trendy cute finds. Small scale boutique shopping is part of the J-​town village experience. I was surprised and thoroughly impressed by Hob Nob’s selection of merchandise. They have fresh and unique pieces I would not be able to find elsewhere. This place is known by DTLA insiders for it’s quirky and playful prints/​designs. Seriously, if I was a bit younger, I would go crazy over the macaron printed dress or the super cute all-​over elephant printed blouse. More age appropriate, I ended up getting two shirtdresses that are so darn cool I can’t take it. So happy with my find I am writing a review.
Whether you’re a tourist in Jtown or a local fashionista, if you like getting compliments for your fashion sense, HobNob is the place to shop. What a gem!

Quaint shop with really cute dresses, but they don’t fit me! There are only three sizes available – small, medium, and large. There are also combo sizes such as S/M…but that doesn’t help someone who is an Extra Small! I found some super cute stuff that I wanted to purchase but all I can think about is how much it would cost to get them altered. then I had to put them back :-(. I hope they get smaller sizes too because I know a lot of petite women who would love their dresses!

Manager is a bitch, has too many rules to enter the store. No food or drinks but they’re surrounded by restaurants, no photos — what are people going to go home and make an outfit. Department stores don’t even have this many rules.
–signed a shopaholic that will not shop at your store.

Not a boutique that initially caught my eye, but my girlfriend spotted a dress in the window with potential, and we were both suckered in by this shop’s aesthetic charm, friendly staff, surprisingly extensive selection of trendy clothing and jewelry, and very affordable prices! If my wallet could afford … any sort of spending… I would have purchased *all* the jewelry in the store. I highly recommend Hob Nob as a destination for petite Asian females who are always on the lookout for clothing that fit their body types well.

yes, im a guy, but i will still write a review about this shop because i am bored in my class right now. My girlfriend shops here a lot, and I love the stuff that she buys from here. As a man, I like the styles of the cloths this shop has. My gf becomes 35~55% more attractive and sexy when she wears dresses that are bought from here. Nd of course, I heart starts to beat faster. boom boom.

They have very cute and stylish clothes here. More on the pricey sad, which I could afford their dresses. They also have nice jewelry, shoes, and handbags. I shouldve taken pics

I LOVE this Boutique! They always have the cutes dresses and the customer service is outstanding

Absolutely disappointed with this store. First of all, the store hours are inconsistent. If I were you, call first so that you don’t waste your time going there. They never open on time. Second, one of the workers kept storming inside my fitting room while I was trying on the clothes. She literally BARGED into my fitting room while I was in my underwear. Ugh! Lastly, the items are way too overpriced at the quality that they are being sold at.

This tiny shop is predominantly a boutique for womenswear. However, they also carry t-​shirts with a nod to literary greats like: Fahrenheit 451, the Great Gatsby, Le Petit Prince, Beowulf, and the list goes on. I was so elated when I saw some of my fave books on these tees. The quality of the shirts is also very soft (well made). It was truly a serendipitous moment for me. BIG FAN o’ Lil Tokyo!!!

I’ve been walking the Japanese Plaza and noticed that the shop has been opening during business hours. Definitely a plus since now we dont have to stare at their window anymore :)
Jaime,
Thanks for letting me know that there is a exchange policy.
Thanks.

Tiny shop, but with a great selection at reasonable prices. I enjoyed browsing through this boutique.
Lots of rompers, dresses, and flowy blouses. I ended up buying the most perfect fitting free people jeans.
The service was very good, staff friendly and attentive but not overly so. I follow their instagram account and because of their frequent posting, and lovely photos and quotes made it a point to stop by here during my trip to LA.
Will definitely be back next time I am in the area!

Down the proverbial rabbit hole I go, chasing after a white rabbit into a Wonderland of super cute clothes and accessories.
Hob Nob, you hold a very very dear part of my heart and my wallet. Absolutely love this boutique, its delightful products and the people who run this shop. I’ve swung by twice in the past 3 weeks and I am not ashamed to admit that I’ve purchased over 10 articles of clothing, all which are wonderful additions to my seriously outdated wardrobe.
The staff here are super sweet and very accommodating, the clothes are ridiculously cute and well-​priced for a boutique, and their inventory changes almost weekly. Plus, they have a instagram account @thehobnobshop, and they always post up photos of new items so you can get a sneak peak of what’s in their store currently. Should you like any of them, all you have to do is email them with your size and a reference of which item you liked, and if it’s in stock, they’ll put it on hold for you!
Ain’t that something? ;) Speaking of which… I need to go back again.

Absolutely love this place.
Every time here little Tokyo, this is the place I have to go.
The girl who works there is lovely, she give me a lot good selections. she never push me to buy it, just tell me which one is better.
That ‘s why i like to shop there.
dresses price around $ 30 ~$ 60
love here, the hob nob shop.

KAWAIII! Super cute store in Jtown with really fashionable, pretty, and unique pieces. I always make a stop when I’m around the area. Owner is very attentive and helpful as well.

This is a really unique and inspired boutique. Small, but nice selection and reasonably priced for the area. They carry the «Out of Print» line of literary inspired clothing, which I love. I’ve received SO many compliments on my Great Gatsby make up bag and have been meaning to go back and buy the matching tote.
However, this shop is NEVER open whenever I try to go. I work in the area and have a lunch break from 12 – 1. I’ve tried to go on multiple weekdays, only to find I’ve wasted another lunch break staring longingly into the front window at the treasures inside. They are supposed to open at «noonish,» which I would assume means shortly after 12PM. However, I’ve waited until nearly 1PM many times to no avail.
This place could do great business if they were open during lunch time. The Japanese Village plaza is bustling with people at that time. It’s a shame they’re so flaky about their hours. Would be 5 stars if I could ever make it inside.

This place I have to admit had very nice jewelry and clothing. I left to withdrawal money from chase ATM. I went back to purchase the ring I wanted and the Asian lady asked me if my friend and I had stolen a ring. A RING! Lady please. That was a real embarrassment. She said the tap showed us taking a ring. We offered to get searched and bags checked. She did not budge. She then looked and saw the ring. I ended up buying it even though I feel like I shouldn’t have. I still asked her if there was a ring missing and she said yes. The nerve.
I recommend, when purchasing an item. Let them know exactly what you are getting. Or the tape will tell her otherwise (:

From the outside looking in, it’s a cute little boutique. Then you pick up something cute, and it’s like… for THAT price? I mean, do I have to sell a leg or something?!
They had those 3D iphone cases and they were selling them for $ 68+! Ok, and get this. One of them, I bought on amazon just the other day for $ 5! I continue to look around at their other clothes, and it’s definitely along the trends of korean/​japanese fashion AND SIZES. Let’s be real here people, if I’m a Medium in American shirts I’m probably an XXL in these asian sizes. Shirts were running for $ 40+, faux leather jackets for $ 145?! Everything is seriously, OVERPRICED!
Everything in this store you can get from amazon/​ebay for a MUCH cheaper price. They are ripping people off with these prices. You’re better off going a few blocks deeper into LA and grabbing better deals in the Fashion District!

I was walking past Hob Nob (or whatever this store is called but this is the right address) when I was drawn in by the cute dresses. Naturally, I wandered in to see the prices and such. Nobody acknowledged me.
Within one minute of walking in, another customer walked in and the store employee greeted the other customer. Not only did this employee completely ignore me and walk past me to help the other customer but she practically pushed me out of the way to get to the other customer… TWICE!
F that. I walked out.
