This place was such a gem! I've known of this store for a few years, but have never went in until a few days ago. Lots of Kpop albums to browse through, anime merchandise and cute stationary items. It turns out my friends and I spent an hour in there since there was something new to look at every corner you turn to. Staff is fun, friendly and helpful if you have questions. I'm definitely gonna go back!

Friendly and welcoming staff. Wide assortment of kpop and anime memorabilia. Wish they had a little more variety and higher quality products. Prices are probably the most affordable for pens, cards, etc in the area.

Amazing Place!! So many kpop albums, posters, stickers etc!! This place is HEAVEN for kpop fans, IT IS THE BEST. The service is amazing and the employees are super nice and helpful. They also have many underrated groups albums, which is AMAZING because usually people only have the big kpop groups!! I spent more than an hour in this store and I love it so much. Most (if not all) of the albums are 46.99, but it does vary. Plus if you buy an album you get a poster for 1.99, which is a fantastic deal. My albums turned out perfect! If you like kpop, this place is definitely worth going to! They also have a whole section of anime related things. Will definitely come again!

This store just makes me happy!😍 Such a cute selection of products. If you have anyone in your life who loves hello kitty or pokemon, this is the place to buy them a gift! The staff here are the sweetest people on the planet and they offer some awesome gift wrapping at no charge. I absolutely love this place. Can't say enough goo things about it!!! Oh yeah and the prices are very fair! I would suggest stopping in regularly as the products change quickly and they often only have a few of the cutest items! I

Was visiting my best friend in Toronto last month, we're both heavily into kpop and we ended up having a really bad experience here. Came in and the employees were saying really weird and opinionated things about groups (one that I was there to buy an album for!), and the energy was very immature and felt off-putting, not just for myself but for potential customers. They also were loudly - and I mean LOUDLY - discussing gruesome murders in the area. Then, when we went to leave, the girl ringing up my friend made a really unnecessary comment about the price of one of the articles of clothing she had on, which put us both off even more. Issues with the employees aside, the store itself is very disorganized - the albums are split up weirdly with groups starting with A and B in the front of the store and then everything else towards the back. It's also full of fake anime merch, AliExpress plushies and stolen artwork, which I've seen a few other reviewers mention. The best I can say is that the albums there were priced fairly, especially in CAD. If you're looking for a good place to buy kpop albums with a much better atmosphere, Fantastic Baby offered a way better experience and the employees there are extremely kind and friendly, a total contrast to what we experienced here. I will not be returning when I come back to Toronto, and this place has lost a local customer as well.

If you are a Kpop fan, you must visit this store as it carries many Kpop albums and some general merchandises. The branch on Bloor street is bigger and has more collections compared to Yonge street branch. You can also find stationary and accessories in there.

Fun, cute shop to visit when walking around ktown with friends! variety arrangements of kpop posters, albums, photocards. Perfect place to go to if you’re looking to buy a gift for a friend who’s into kpop.

While their stationary collection isn't as amazing as it used to be, their selection of kpop merchandise has definitely grown. You can find a little bitnof everything here!

Lots of great Kpop albums and merch (unofficial). If you don't like ordering online, I would recommend shopping from here.

3.5 stars I am a fan of the store but it's on the pricier end. I suppose when comparing prices for Kpop cds if you factor in shipping online it's about the same. They have a large selection of Kpop cds, plushies, stationary, pins, jewelry and lots of knick knacks. Staff are friendly and greet everyone who enters and leaves the store.

If you're looking for Asian stationery and K-pop related goods, this is a nice place to visit. Most of the items they carry are more so accessories than office supplies though, so if you're looking for a variety of Korean stationery, Mr. Pen may be a better bet. Still, I ended up getting some Korean post-its and stickers from this place which were pretty cute.

Probably the best of the character stores on this Koreatown strip. This shop carries a very good array of character toys and merchandise, plus a big selection of Korean music and videos. As other reviews describe, the range of merchandise is fantastic. I got my daybook here this year instead of my usual, fancy, Papyrus one and I just love it. So many unique items, including jewellery. I did a lot of my Christmas and birthday shopping here and everyone was so thrilled with the cute, unique gifts. The service here is EXCELLENT. All the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They don't even have a minimum purchase amount for payment methods other than cash - something you don't see often in these types of stores. I make sure to come in here every time I'm in the area. There's always new stuff and it's always a highly pleasant experience.

Sarah & Tom...have got it going on. And by "it", I mean they've got a cute little shop with fantastic merch and wonderful service. Strolling in here with no expectations, my heart exploded. Cat things. All the cat things. Also posters of my favourite Korean men on the wall. Mmm... The two ladies that work here, one Korean, one Caucasian, are fabulous. Chatty, helpful, and friendly to the extreme. The Korean lady complimented us on our decision to eat Korean fried chicken for dinner, washing away our greasy guilt with her validation. So no they're not just chatting you up to make a sale, they legitimately want to show you all the cool stuff in here. And there's cool stuff indeed. I'm still mesmerized by the piggy bank with the cat popping out and stealing your coin. I couldn't leave without buying anything so I bought two cat pens. They're really cute cat pens and not expensive at all. So I was surprised when the lady at the cash took the time to gift wrap them. No, they weren't gifts. She just wanted to give them the fancy treatment with shiny paper and curly ribbons. All the while, she was being an absolute joy to talk to and was giving a thorough demonstration of her professional wrapping abilities. Sarah & Tom and I have a good thing going. The discovery of this place is really helping me on my journey to become a feline-crazed hermit woman. Two cat pens to represent my two cats...I'm off to a good start. (1/100) - 2017

It is a small Asian gift store where it plays Kpop/other Asian pop music. However it is packed with stationaries, toys, posters, stickers among many other things. There are a lot to choose from such as Pokemon, Hello Kitty, and Kpop bands. You could get your things wrapped if you are going to give it to someone. Also, the cashier person is really nice.

5/5! Cute little place to buy or look at some small trinkets and gifts. + huge assortment of trinkets, notebooks, pens, keychains, plushies, etc for various animes and kpop groups + owners are super friendly and really know the products they sell (you can tell them what anime or kpop group you like and they will show you everything they have) + the owners wrap anything you buy for free! Definitely saves times if you're buying gifts here

It's rare to walk into an establishment nowadays and actually get acknowledged. That does not happen here. As soon as you cross that doorway a chorus of "hello" "how are you" rings out. I was taken a back at first but then I realized why. Their almost personal customer service is amazing. Although there was only 2 employees in the nice and tidy store. Each one took the time to chat and discuss items sold in the store. I mainly went here because my 2 children are obsessed with K-Pop and Anime. This particular place is the spot to go to satisfy this need. From cards, stickers, posters, and music CD's. To small character themed merchandise. So If you're ever in Toronto's K-Town make sure to stop into this place and prepare to be treated with kindness and hospitality while picking up some swag.

Nice selection of anime trinkets (buttons, figures, stuffed toys). Reasonably priced.

I'm actually a little confused at how this was my first time walking into this store, have I just never noticed it before? Who knows! What I do know is that if I'm walking this far down Bloor St this is a must hit! Went in yesterday and was greeted by a friendly staff ready to help if needed. This store is kind of like a mixture of Anime, K-Pop, and random stuff you didn't know you wanted until you saw how cool it was. My girlfriend ended up finding a bunch of stuff for school while I was distracted by the large Totoro's in the back. I didn't pick anything up today but you can count on me coming back here very soon and picking one of those by guys up! They even had some great Spirited Away statues I can't wait to call my own!

An amazing store that sells good quality Asian novelty items. This is an ideal location to purchase K-Pop albums from all of the popular artists such as BTS, Blackpink and Stray Kids. All the albums are official merchandise. The price of the albums are pricey but fair for those products. The employees working at the store are super nice and will help you with whatever you need to find. This is store is the best K-Pop store in Toronto. I suggest you go to this store whenever you find yourself in the Toronto area.

I loved it here! They had a bunch of albums to choose from and the staff were extremely kind. I would 10/10 recommend

I was a tourist in the area and I have to say, I love the store and the vibe it gives out, best store in town!

I went here a few days ago and haven't wanted to go anywhere else since! All of the products such as adorable socks, stuffies, origami, keychains and backpacks are perfect if you're looking for some kawaii things. Not to mention how sweet the staff is! They are very nice and talkative and they certainly made my day!

Location: right on Bloor in little Korea I walked Into this place because I was looking for fun stationary. As soon as I stepped in, I was acknowledged and well greeted by the owner with a huge smile and a bow. He was behind the cash register wrapping another clients purchase. Every single customer that walked in received the same greeting. Several customers seemed to be regulars. I walked around and took my time as there were several interesting items to look at. I found an array of coloured pens that are 0.03mm!!! For $1.99 which I thought was a great deal. How often do you find that size in magenta and teal? I also purchased a stamp. I would recommend they stock up on more selection for actual letter papers. When I got to the cash register, the owner took the time to wrap my purchase nicely, and was extremely kind. I truly believe he is one of a kind and is a genuinely happy person who enjoys in his clients happiness. I will definitely be back here, not only because of the merchandise but primarily because of his wonderful positive personality. :)

My favourite place to buy Kpop goods in Toronto. They have quite a wide selection of albums despite how small the store is and they've recently expanded their album section in the back of the store as well. Albums are fairly pricey (usually $25-$30) but it's worth it for the convenience instead of having to wait a month or more for something purchased from an online store. The store also offers a wide array of pens and stationery and other cute little anime and pop culture trinkets. Staff are always very friendly and talkative and make the store a very welcoming place. Gift wrapping is also available.

This store is an amazing store- it has very friendly staff, various cute notebooks/merchandise, and the K-Pop albums/goods. They have a wide selection of K-Pop albums, including recently released ones and older ones. They also have a lot of unofficial K-Pop related merch like posters, stickers, and clear file folders. They also sell the official posters that get released with the albums too Pacific Mall also has a K-Pop store, Broadcast Entertainment, but Just You Sarah and Tom's prices are generally cheaper (for albums). BTS' Young Forever was $39.99 in Pacific Mall, whilst it was $31.99 in Sarah and Tom's (if i remember correctly). Some of their plushies and notebooks are a little overpriced, but overall, this store is definitely one of my favourites.

Just opened 3 months ago, this store will fill your fobby craving of Hello Kitty's and Totoro stuff, from stuffed animals to stationary. Typical fobby store. Prices are really the same as Pacific Mall's, and definitely less stuff.. However, it's quality stuff. It's an extremely small store, cellphone keychains (that aren't cheap looking like pacmall's) priced between $6 and $15. Stuffed animals start at $22, cards and letters around $4 to $8. I think the prices are reasonable, considering your alternative is to call a citizen of Hong Kong or Japan to bring things over. And I mean QUALITY stuff!! I love those keychains! The shop owner is a Korean man, VERY VERY friendly and funny! He kept poking fun that I need to bring my boyfriend here so he can buy me everything in the shop. He also showed us a magic trick, and he wrapped my friend's purchase into a very cute gift (with a bow on top).

Maybe it's genetic but as an Asian I can't shake my love of cute tchotzkis emblazoned with over-simplified animations of kitties, frogs,pandas and the like. Well JYS&T could easily be swept under the rug as another Asian tchotzky shop but the difference here is the lack of indifference. You see many of these gift shops that litter either Korea or Chinatown may have similar merchandise, but the help in these shops is often completely callous or lacking. Not so inside JYS&T. Once inside you are greeted with friendly demonstrations of their many novelty products by Tom himself, a real showman and salesman indeed. They've got a myriad of cutesy things from cellphone charms to silly but adorable tissue dispensers. I really felt like I was treated to a song and dance as Tom & company truly seems to enjoy what they sell and do. Sure I ended up with a couple of novel things I didn't need ( a tube of Hello Kitty "cream" which incidentally turned out to be a pen plus some "blingy" cell phone cases) but supporting a local who's putting forth an A++ effort... I'm okay with that. So if you're visiting Koreatown and and want a good laugh along with some cute stuff give Just You Sarah & Tom a visit!

Great customer service Good selection of Korean cute stuffs, Kpop goods.

My favourite store to go for korean/kpop merchandise and one of my favourites for stationary. Just You Sarah & Tom has a wide selection of kpop merchandise including socks, pens, clothing, hats, albums, posters, photo cards, stickers, notepads and calendars! I have personally been to both Toronto locations and the location in Montreal! All locations of this store are amazing! It is very difficult to find as much of an extensive amount of kpop merchandise anywhere else in the city. The atmosphere is also wonderful with greetings and conversations with the employees as well as beautiful gift wrapping! Would recommend this store to fulfill all your kpop needs!

They have cute stationary stuffs, kpop merch and whole bunch more all with in a cute little store! The customer service is amazing and the prices are actually pretty good, usually an album online with shipping would be damaging to my bank account but the store has good prices! Plus you get a FULL SIZED poster of your choice for $2.99 if you buy a CD/photobook instead of their regular $7.99! I live near Ottawa where there's no stores like this around so the trip was totally worth it!! I will totally come back in April when I'm in Toronto again!!

A really cute shop for KPop albums, posters, and the like. Also the store is filled with really cute accessories, bags, plushes, and stationary. The staff there are really friendly and always willing to help. The selection is fantastic for any kpop fan. Found some albums that I could no longer find online. The store isnt far from a subway station so it will be easy to get to. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looks for cute stuff or kpop albums..

OMG TOO MUCH CUTENESS! AHHHHH Koreans are just way too adorable for their own good ^-^ I found the cutest knick knacks at this store, and the workers here are super friendly and will always talk to you (in a friend way, not in a selling way) There are socks with kpop stars on them! Where else could you find that!? I love love love the stickers, omg!!! They're so cute and I bet you couldn't find something like the stock they have anywhere else. I love the different notebooks and cute shenanigans they have! I do find some stuff to be a bit pricey though... keychains should not be $10! Those ones were pretty generic. They do giftwrap your purchases with glittery wrapping paper and even a bow. I am not in the area often, but I definitely will return for more cute stuff.

this is my all time favourite kpop album store, i went there and got the newest bts world album. it has so many albums and a lot of stock i really recommend this store if you're miss a specific album they have a lot of groups from bts, mamamoo, astro, txt, nct and some some solo artists

Always friendly and helpful staff. They make super cute perfect gift wrapping! Probably the best customer service I've ever experienced in town so far!

If you like kpop and you don't like shopping online, this is the store for you! They have Albums from the biggest kpop stats for example: BlackPink, BTS, TWICE, Ikon, AND more! They also have Pins, Stickers, Socks, And Posters. But if you don't only like Kpop, no worries, since thats not the only thing they sell! They sell cute plushies, Pins, Stickers, anime posters and even more. So i'd for sure recommend this store.

Cute little shop. Price was bit high, excellent customer service, friendly and great smile. Love the colorful bow put on the gift wrapping after purchase. Worth coming back

I ordered a Stray Kids album on Thursday, it just got here today, Monday. Not only did the album get here in just four days, they also had amazing customer service. They reached out to me and let me know that a poster I had ordered was slightly damaged (the damage was barely noticeable) and they were going to be sending me two posters to make up for it. They responded to all my emails within a day and everything went smoothly, recommend ordering!

I always stop by S&T when I am in Koreatown. It's hard to leave this shop empty-handed. S&T has become THE place to buy k-pop, so it's consistently busy with a gaggle of girls by the entrance rummaging through the collection of CDs and posters. Reasonable prices too. Aside from that, it has a wonderful selection of stationery, stickers and gifts. The service is always aggressively hospitable and they treat you like a friend! It's typical for them to gift wrap EVERYTHING that passes the checkout, even if it's small, and even if it's for you.

Nice Service and cute stuff they sell kpop and a little bit of anime things it was a good experience,every time I went.none of the three times were bad nice people and employees.

K, I don't know why there are two listings for this place, but I will say this place is fab. I have a weak spot for anyone who endears to little kids, and the person who was working there (Tom?), has a 3 year old, and was comfortable in approaching my girl to have her place a lucky penny onto a panda coin-grabbing gadget bank. She felt welcomed, I felt that my shy girl was at ease. Win-win. We didn't plan on buying anything, but the guy was so sweet, so we picked up stickers for my girl's grandmother. The same person knew it was a gift, and wrapped it up so sweetly - shiny foil paper, an amazing insta-bow, and general care and attentiveness went into this wrapping job. Her grandmother is going to love the wrapping job!! Yes, I will be back. Yes, I would recommend this place to a friend who wanted CUTE Asian trendy things. Who doesn't like Hello Kitty or cartoon cats? My girl and I enjoyed their sticker collection. When she's older, she'll also like their cute pencil and eraser section... Love the genuine service!

I was trying to kill time before dinner and hopped into this place for warmth and what a lovely surprise! The store is small but not in a claustrophobic kinda way. It was neat and clean and the guy behind the counter was super nice and friendly, it made me happy that I walked in here instead of loitering at the nearby KFC. The store transported me back to my youth when I used to buy a a lot of plush toys and fancy gel pens which I've out grown so, personally, this store was not catered to my current needs (like I said, I was looking for temporary shelter) but after a quick glance at their posters, I couldn't stop and ended up buying a handful of posters for gifts. For a small store they have a lot cute nik naks and things that would make excellent gifts. I was there longer than I thought I would be and was late to dinner so I had to leave. Will be back soon!

The owner that was working when I went in was so so kind and great to talk to! We talked about Exo for a while and bonded over the fact that Kyungsoo was our bias, it was amazing. Genuinely the best customer service ever! They have a really great selection of K-Pop CDs, which are normally so hard to find in Ontario. I'll definitely come here any time I need an album in the future, it's cheaper than buying them online and having them shipped to Canada (If you need reference for the store, Ex'act cost about $30 CAD, Rush by Monsta X cost about $28 CAD and Boys Be by Seventeen cost around $28 CAD, all of those prices are including tax. That's about the same price those albums are on sites like YesAsia!). The only thing is that if you're interested in some (not all!) older albums, like Mama by Exo, it may be cheaper to get them off Amazon, as the prices for old albums drop online but not in store. Other than that, if you ever need new albums (or even want old albums but just don't wanna wait for shipping) you should check this place out. They have a large wall of albums with lots of selection, they even have the albums of lesser-known groups like Up10tion, which was great to see. They have a large amount of posters as well, and a ton of cute stationary, stickers, etc. On their Facebook, they post pictures of the albums they get in, so you can see who they have (when I was looking, I saw Exo, Mamamoo, Zico, Block B, 2NE1, Super Junior, Twice, BTS, Up10tion, Seventeen, Winner, Jay Park, Exid, and a ton of other groups and artists' CDs) I really recommend this store it has great service, reasonable prices, always has the albums I'm looking for!

JYST is a cutesy and super kawai toy and gift store. On the day we visited, they had the most charming mechanical cat piggy banks (a panda one was available too), Hello Kitty stuff, Totoro stuff, deco tapes, and other stationary items both functional and fun. Lower end and less expensive than Hanji but no less fun in some ways. The proprieter is very personable and outgoing -- and he gift wraps beautifully, so worth wrapping everything just to watch and maybe pick up some tips for Christmas.

Very cute store! They have everything from notebooks to plush figures and everything is adorable. When I go in here I want to buy everything. The prices are reasonable as well. There are a lot of unique items that I haven't seen at any other anime store which is cool. The staff is incredibly nice here!

I think this will be my first review of a store and not a restaurant, so I'll try to keep it on the mark. First off, I've just returned from living in Korea for 3 years so my opinion is extremely biased. I will start with the bad. A lot of previous reviewers felt the prices were very reasonable and I have the unfortunate knowledge of knowing that some of those stationary items have a 100% markup. Ouch. Apparently that's normal and other reviewers were pleased by the prices. If you're ever interested in buying these sorts of products in bulk, I think the GMarket website is a better go. That being said, the selection is very good and the service is VERY friendly. Not only did they help me find the item I was looking for within my price range, they then individually wrapped each item (it was a pencil case set) so that my gift looked extra bulky. Since coming back to Canada, I haven't run into service as friendly as the one I got in this store. They also chatted with me and were really personable. I hope this store does well in Toronto because I think they're doing everything right. I would love it if other stores learned from them!

HONESTLY THE BEST PLACE to go if you love KPOP. They just have about every album of popular Kpop boy groups and girl groups. When you enter you can see the shelf full of albums, posters, photo cards etc. They even sell cute socks that you might have seen in Korean variety shows. They have most of the iconic characters stuff animals like rilakkuma and hello kitty. They also have cute notebooks and pens. The music in the store was Kpop, so you can be jamming out to your faves while buying their albums. The lady who was working there was SOOO friendly. She knew all the idols, that you were talking about. The actors and actresses too! She was a fan girl who knew what she was talking about. She also wraps up your album with cute wrapping paper and a ribbon. PREETTYY GREAT

I love cute Korean stationary stores. It's in K-town. I came to Toronto with my friend and we decided to come here. It's a cute little store and has many different things. I will warn you, it is super expensive. We ended up not buying anything here. The guy at the casher was very energetic and funny. If you're in the area, stop by and check it out.

I was down in the Korea Town area walking the kid in the stroller (not on a leash as that may have implied) killing some time before a sushi mom date when I thought I would pop into Just You Sarah & Tom to check out all the anime fan girl goodness that I miss so much from my time in Akihabara. Walking in they have pretty much any plush you could ask for from any Studio Ghibli movie and beyond. The store is simply packed! I was SUPER excited that they even had bento boxes. And not only bento boxes - two tier clickety click boxes with a separator! THAT IS AMAZING. I've recently gotten into bentoing for the kid and everything that I saw in the city was just too small or just to easy to spill, and the internet markup is ridiculous. So I was more than happy to plunk down $20 for this piece of plastic cuteness that has become invaluable to my son's lunches ever since! Also the owner (and his wife) are mega friendly - although I was always thisclose to toppling over some sort of Totoro display with the stroller they never even batted an eye.

Super cute store and extremely friendly staff! Came here before dinner with my boyfriend to find a pair of slippers, and came out with a lot more. I'm a sucker for anything cute or pink, so this place is heaven for me. There's only street parking here, if you plan on driving. We took an Uber and walked around the area. Can't wait to visit again!!

Although it's a bit out of my way, it's my absolute favourite place to get kpop albums! I've started to actually talk to some of the employees (I usually mind my own business when shopping), we'd talk about the albums I'm buying, any other artists/groups I like, the weather, etc. It really makes me feel welcomed in the store. I hate ordering online (conversion rates and all that) and waiting so luckily at Sarah & Tom, they have the albums I want. If they don't have it, I always request an order for it! If you're planning on ordering from them, it's real easy: all you have to do is leave your name, phone number, and the album(s) you want then you pay when the album arrives. I agree with some yelpers that S&T is overpriced but I understand why: they have to order it and pay for shipping which basically equals the price they sell in the store for. So, if you don't want to pay their prices, there's always Pacific Mall or online to compare prices/get the items you want. If you do buy something, you get a shiny wrapping paper with your choice of a colour ribbon! I'll most likely visit again in the next month when I'm in a mood to buy some albums or more stickers for my bullet journal.

Cute store in Ktown. WORKERS were very friendly and helpful when we asked questions. They have very cute stuff animals and stationary stuff. My friends and I bought our friend a Girls Generation poster. The worker was very helpful in helping us choose the right one.

Loved this place! The worker (Tom?) was very nice and upbeat, which is great because many employees of stores these days seem to be fake and bored. Apart from the great service, the merchandise was reasonably priced and I loved the selection of K-POP posters and little knickknacks. I definitely want to go back!

Random cute knick knacks. Everything from stuffed animals, keychains, to stationary and notebooks. That is only to name a few. Quite an assortment of Hello Kitty stuff. So cute. Friendly staff and awesome gifteware.

I LOVE THIS STORE. Seriously it carries basically almost all my needs and has loads of kpop stuff so if you're a kpop fan please pay this store a visit! Not only does the store carry a lot of ghibli, rikkaluma stuff, but the staff is SUPER friendly! When you got your items ready and paid for it, they wrap it up in usual wrapping paper like an actual present :) In conclusion, if you're a kpop fan, and want excellent customer service and want to buy something for your friend and have them wrap it up, go visit this store, NOW!

I have been finding trying to find a store that sells Korean and Japanese items, and this is one of the best stores I have been too. The staffs were nice and had greeted me and my friends when we come in. I recommend this store if you are trying to buy Korean stuff like kpop poster or albums or Japanese related like anime!

Super cute store! And the workers there are super nice!, but the prices are crazy expensive... I know how much those things cost but this was too much. Still, I loved the store!

I had the pleasure of getting to shop in this adorable little store yesterday!^^ so many wonderful and adorable items!!! The little Korean lady who wraps the gifts is so sweet and such a talented person when it comes to making your gift perfectly wrapped!^^ whenever I get the chance to come back to Canada I am def coming here!!^^
