I have not been in store but have interacted with this group of stores over the phone inquiring about product availability. Conversations weren’t bad but also weren’t the most friendly either. I felt the need to share my experience after coming across the owners response that was shared amongst the Bandai Utah community. Denial and snapping back never helped a business with customers service. EVER! “Be a MAN” as you put it and admit you are wrong for everything related to the tournaments you have been wrongfully “hosting”. Avoid and report to Bandai ASAP! Show less

We love taking the family here to peruse the shelves. They have a large selection of games. Staff is friendly. Prices are competitive with online retailers, so I actually prefer buying them here. A couple times they have been out of stock for a popular game, but we always find new games we wanna play. They also sell accessories like card sleeves, dice, playmats, and posters. I like their rewards program. I've already redeemed a discount after a couple trips. Go check 'em out! Show less

My recent experiences at this store during live One Piece events have been incredibly disappointing, primarily due to the condescending attitude of the staff. It’s clear that the store makes little to no effort to engage with the broader One Piece community, which is evident in their low event attendance, lackluster prize support, and questionable event pricing. What’s more concerning is the poor customer service. Just take a look at their responses to other one-star reviews—they’re met with snarky, rude, and overly defensive remarks. It’s hard to believe that a business can sustain itself with such a dismissive attitude towards its customers. I suspect they rely on dishonest event reporting and reselling prize support from so-called 'ghost' or 'rogue' events that never actually seem to take place. Overall, this store's shady business practices are deeply troubling, and I hope the management takes accountability to address these issues before it’s too late. Show less

Nice smaller game store. Fair prices and friendly people. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly and without judgement. No pressure browsing as well! I've visited twice and gotten a handful of items that didn't make my wallet cry.

Have a Merry Christmas and try to make our heavenly father proud of you.” Wow… The back handed Merry Christmas..make God proud comment was pathetic.

My order from the seller via online sale was never delivered and expressed that to the card shop. I got a very condescending reply and after reading other reviews on google, it is apparent that this store has copy/paste responses Banning players from the store and insulting them for leaving a negative comment for a negative experience. It’s also apparent they have multiple accounts that leave positive reviews to drive their reviews up. Overall bad experience as I was approaching 20 days of non delivered cards. I have been ordering cards online for over 20 years. Even TrollandToad has never had a 20+ day delivery time. Like many other 1 star reviews I’ll probably receive some condensing response saying I’m Banned etc etc, a man does etc etc. it’s very bad practice by the owner who clearly can’t take constructive feedback from player base.

It’s places like this that are forcing Pokemon prices to skyrocket when scalpers see the price is 3X the normal amount. To the point where no one can afford to live there hobby. Instead of just limiting the purchases to one person per purchase or one person day. They double the prices for a larger profit that only hurts the community they claim to love. More. Scalpers see that and then the price points these stores set becomes the new norm. Will never return to this place. Prices on all products are 50% to 200% higher than they should be. Moon Gaming is WAY better and actually protects the pokemon community. Show less

The selection here is amazing but what really makes this place stand out is the staff. They are super friendly and helpful - they take time to talk through all of your questions and they are super passionate about all of the different types of games that are available.

Decent selection of basic games, beautiful selection of niche ones. Plus, One piece cards, which I love. Ian helped me look for some games that I was buying for my coffee shop, he’s a wonderful guy. Highly recommend this place!

Store owner is really rude and manipulates market prices and cancels orders on TCG player. He’s going to feel really foolish when this catches up to him. A real man would own up to his mistake and sell the card he listed for this price and a boy would have cancelled the order.
