TESO Life

This store has many different snacks and food to try. They also have a couple Smiskis to choose from too.

I love coming to this store whenever im in the area! It has all kinds of Japanese products and it has houseware items that are so useful that you can't find in American stores! Their associates are pleasant and even advise me to open the box and check on glass housewares during checkout to make sure nothing is damaged. During my last visit i purchased a cooking oil dispenser and whenni got home I filled it with water to test it and make sure the sprayer and the pourer spouts worked, they all worked fine except when I tried locking the pourer spout the water leaked out when I tilted it. I went back to the store the day after and the associate that cashed me out remembered me when I was explaining to the other associate that the seal must not have been positioned properly during manufacturing and if I can exchange for another one of the same item. The associate called the manager and I explained and he said ok. The new one is great! A visitor was at my house the other day and saw it and wanted to know where I got it from so I will go back and buy one to gift to her.

This place is clean and reasonably priced! Grabbed a box of steamed eye masks and snagged my fav K-beauty brand product at such a reasonable price! Also the stuff is actually made in Korea unlike so many of the other K-beauty products imported into the U.S. these days. If you're super into skincare/makeup and want the convenience of a local mart, you're in for a treat!

went here on christmas eve 2020 and i gotta say,its a good store for people who like cool stuff from Japan. even though it wasnt my first time it was still good. they have nice stationery,snacks and cute things. i think this place is better than daiso because theres a lot more variety and the prices make sense. love coming because i just love the vibe,feels like japan. (♡‿♡)

This store has some cool products. Some hard to find cosmetics, household products, toys and snacks. I had a good time roaming the aisle and looking at the various items in the store. Most of the items are imported from Asia so it was fun checking them out. The store is big, bright and nicely organized. Unlike other stores, like Daiso, the store doesn’t feel overly stocked and confusing. The snack aisles were my favorite to peruse. There are some great snacks offered here, like strawberry cheesecake Kit Kats, mango creamy soda and matcha green tea jelly. A lot of the items are unique and hard to find but I found a lot of the them to be overpriced. A small bag of garden flavored chips for $4?! A travel mug for $40! Yes, they were all adorable and kitschy but too expensive for me. I might consider buying one or two items from here for gifts or when I’m feeling like I want to splurge. Otherwise, it’s mostly window shopping for me when I visit here.

I came to this store with my husband and son. My son is non verbal and loves numbers. He ran to the back of the counter to look at their landline phone. The two staff members physically detained him. He’s only 7 years old, cannot speak and obviously has a disability. Disgusting behavior. I emailed the owner, zero accountability. It is a crime to touch people let alone a 7 year old child. Disgusting behavior.

Excellent selection of trending Japanese products ranging from cosmetics to house cleaning supplies. When I go there, I literally feel like I'm in Japan. The product sold at the store is more expensive than Japan but it saves you a trip from traveling there.

I got my lucky cat from this store today and my gold bunny yesterday, because it will be the rabbit year. I never eat chips,but if I see this one I grab a bag and eat it all. Price is great the same huge cat was today $75 in Manhattan,other store $55 got it here $35 plus tax. I meet with the “following” workers too,he don’t bother me I think because the economy and many are stealing from stores,unfortunately the stores have to be more aware and we have to more often now deal with it. Just a bit understanding . Many chips candy sweets, but also cosmetics and sodas in the store. Close by the same Teso Life,my opinion worth for a visit!

This Teso is not near Main St so it's a little less crowded making shopping a little more relaxing! It's always fun to spend 5-10 minutes to walking the aisles of Teso and sometimes I find bargains. Take my money please!

I was walking up and down Roosevelt Avenue trying to find stores and lo and behold I see a Teso Life they are all over Flushing and in Manhattan too. I saw another Yelper photo of the 1/2 match and 1/2 vanilla ice cream cone and wanted to get one. I looked at their fridge and did not see any of them, but saw a lot of other refreshing items. Since I was on a mission and pressed for time to find these three other shops. I took pictures of items to get the next I come back with more time to shop at Teso Life. Clear and clean aisles. Items on shelf had pricing so you know cost of the object you want to purchase. Tons of selection for snack and candies. This little boy was grabbing different variety of candy. Was impressed with the amount of items stocked at this Teso Life from edible items to cosmetics and kitchen products too. Love it that Teso Life is near the train station and bus stops too.

I have so many great things to say about this place, but I will first start with how aesthetically pleasing it is. Everything is white, clean, with soft, even lines. Everything is set up in such a way that your eyes are drawn from the top to the bottom. Nothing makes you feel overwhelmed, if anything you feel welcomed into the store. And it's extremely easy to just knock everything into your shopping cart. Everything looks so good. Now let me get into what I bought. I purchased about $40 in products from this location, and when I travel for work, I try to bring my boyfriend home a goodie bag and usually it's full of snacks from places I've been or things that he hasn't tried before. Teso Life has everything that you would want if you were visiting Chinatown, and if you spend more than $40 you get to spin a wheel for the prize! I ended up winning a $10 gift card which I put in the bag and gave to my boyfriend as incentive to get him to come to New York with me more lol. But I digress, this place is so cool and I can't wait to go back. Everything is extremely cheap. It's very easy to empty your pockets and it's super fun to explore!

Great assortment of items, they always have new deals and things so repeat visits are a must!

Love the selection of Japanese beauty, food and even cat food. The price is also very affordable. A must visit store!

This original location was less than a 5-minute walk from my bus stop. The weather was in the high 70s today. You can buy snacks, beverages, frozen food, ice cream, kitchenware, health & beauty, etc. Check out their promotional sale items throughout the store. I bought these items below: Kasugai Wasabi Green Peas $4.99 Lay's Sweet Potato Chips (Original Flavor) $2.99 Maruka Kankoku Noriten $2.99 Morinaga Hi-Chew Mixed Soft Candy $2.99 Kasugai Yuzu Gummy $2.49 I love, love, love Teso Life so much!

All Japanese products. The have a bit of everything: housewares, toys, perfumes, makeup, lotions, dishware, hardware, figurines, baby products, pet stuff, desserts, food products, sauces, drinks and snacks! So many interesting snacks to choose from! They also have an online store, if you would like to check out some of their products before going.

Love this store, go in once in awhile. So many snacks, desserts, drinks, cosmetics, makeup, etc to choose from. Got ice cream from here for the 1st time. This half matcha, half vanilla very frozen soft serve cone was a bit too bitter for me. The agar agar jelly ($2.39) candy was pretty good. I had 2 and then couldn't anymore cuz it was too much sugar. Very different from homemade agar due to different ingredients (my mom uses coconut water & coconut milk). This one has artificial flavors. I grabbed a pack of the mochi truffle ($4) as soon as I saw it. My sister also grabbed a pack when she saw mine. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius. I've loved mochi since the 1st time I tried it. Mochi ice cream is great too but the mochi isn't as chewy since it's frozen. This however, is my fave so far outta all the mochi flavors & types I've tried. I absolutely love dark chocolate & this has cocoa dusted on the outside. It's chewy but not as much as plain mochi since the center also has chocolate in it. This is the best mochi/chocolate I've gotten so far. Words cannot describe how much I love this product. I grabbed a box of the Takuma dried crab ($5) since I was intrigued cuz I'd never seen small, dried crab like that. My sister's friend said it was good but man, did I regret wasting $5 on this. Idk what kinda seasoning they use, but it just tasted horrible to me. The seasoning was very strong & the stench of dried seafood was strong. It was sweet since they add sugar but I couldn't get rid of the horrible taste & smell of this product from my mouth. Even after I brushed my teeth, I felt like I could still smell & taste it. I don't recommend this product at all, unless you've tried it before & you like it. I love myulchi which is sweet, dried, tiny fish, so I thought I'd love this as well. Boy, was I wrong. Unless you want your breath to smell like fart & you wanna feel like you ate , I don't suggest trying this.

As few weeks back my friend brought these awesome Japanese snacks and shared it with us. Its not the usual snacks that you'll see in the Chinese Asian Markets. The snacks that she gave was so good that I had to asked her where she got them so I can go and get some of them for myself. They have a few location but the one I checked out was in Flushing. Walking in, I knew right away I was in for a treat. Their store is fully stocked and I immediately went to the snack aisle and there was plenty to choose from. Their pricing seems to be a lot cheaper then the Sunrise Market that I go to at Industrial City and they have more varieties to choose from. Since I was pressing for time, I couldn't really stroll around and enjoy the unique items that this store had to offer. As for the store, it was very clean, bright and the staff seems friendly.

Came here last night to explore the snacks I heard this place sells. I live near a lot of H&Y or Y mart supermarkets, so I was looking for things I don't typically see there. There is plenty to look at, I definitely spent a lot of time trying to pick some of the perfect items. One that stood out to me was making your own candy sushi. I felt like a scientist making this stuff! Super fun and there was a lot on the shelves there. I got a bunch of different packages of ramen, already ate one and was so good! Can't wait to go back and try something else out!

I come to Teso Life for one thing and one thing only: Japanese flavored Kit Kats! Of all the other various places which sell these Kit Kats, Teso Life consistently has the widest variety of flavors (not just the usual matcha, dark chocolate and strawberry). Yes, they are a little pricey, but they are imported and hard to get; so worth it if you want to treat yourself (or others). They even have high-end gift boxes of unique flavors (ex: Saki!). As others have complained about this store, yes, the aisle are very narrow and cramped. I came early on a Sunday morning, and it wasn't so bad. Ideally, you should come during "off-peak" hours to have a more enjoyable experience. Or....go to their new larger location, also in Flushing! Teso Life also sells other household and beauty items but honestly, I didn't even look at those items. This visit was strictly a Kit Kat run! Hahaha Warning: you WILL end up spending more money than you wanted to but hey, carpe diem! Enjoy the little treasures in life! :)

I think I have a Kit Kat obsession, no comment from the Peanut Gallery please. After reading about this spot from a few Yelp Elites, I am hooked! By the time this draft publishes, I think I've made two trips here in one month's time. Dangerous on my wallet and waistline. I found many varieties of Kit Kats imported from Japan on my travels and around the city in general but no one beats their variety thus far. On my visits here, I managed to find three special Japan exotic flavors: Amaou Strawberry, Sake Plum, and Sake Peach! Not to mention the other fun kinds: dark chocolate, matcha green, green tea, Chestnut, Cranberry Almond, Purple potato, Sweet Potato, Red Bean, Lemon, and Strawberry Cheesecake! Some flavors are hit or miss but half the fun is trying. Prices range from $4.99 - $14.99, custom boxes for gift giving too. I've also noticed they sell home products for the kitchen, facial products, makeup, gifts, socks, and fun toys - everything awesome from Japan. I even managed to find the bottled tea drinks and sea urchin rice crackers! What?! Yeah, so cool. Totally recommend you making a pit stop even if you're not looking for anything specific, Window shopping at it's best. I'm a fan. Join the rewards if you like it, I know I did.

Nowadays, at every corner in Flushing you'll find yourself walking past a Teso Life. Better yet, if you're curious, you'll find yourself inside one. From carrying interesting flavors of kit kats to the best asian beauty products, Teso is the #1 best place to find it all. This store is definitely one of my favorite places to window shop and regular shop lol. A great place to kill time and my savings. They offer a wide variety of asian snacks and ramen to lots of unique home goods and beauty products. It's guaranteed that you will be carefully looking up and down every aisle much like a regular target run. I find myself walking in for a quick glance but end up stuck inside for an hour. The only reason Im taking off a star, because I noticed that they were selling visibly moldy pastries in their fridge...

Experience: This was my first time at any Teso shop. I came in here after seeing all their little piggy toys in the window. This store carried so much more than what you can see from outside the store windows. I was surprised that there was a fridge of fresh Japanese snacks such as mochi. There were tons of snack aisles too. Even just for matcha Kit Kats there were 4 varieties. There was also a lot of Japanese makeup to choose from. I found chips here that I used to have to bring all the way from Hong Kong. There were brands that I've definitely seen while shopping in HK. It was nice to see brands that I recognized. You know those Japanese sodas that sushi stores rip you off for $5? You can find them here for under $2! (I've actually never tried those because they're so pricey for such a small bottle!) If you're super into Japanese snacks, definitely check out Teso Life. Decoration: Not much going on as far as decoration goes, but the store was well lit. Recommend it?: Yes. Welcome Teso Life! A great addition to Roosevelt Ave.

Wide selections of candies and snacks.. price is fairly reasonable and some actually cheaper than H mart and other Chinese grocery stores!

Super cool store filled with all sorts of Japanese goodies. This is probably the largest selection of snacks I've seen in the US (except for maybe Mitsuwa). I even saw some snacks that I had while in Japan but have never been able to find here. They also have an extensive drink selection, which is what X is usually interested in. We found some of his favorites for cheaper prices than the Daiso or Mitsuwa. Staff were nice and friendly.

A Japanese supermarket or store right in the center of Flushing. Awesome!!! They sell everything straight from Japan. The items may be a bit expensive compared from buying them from other places. But it is soo cool the fact that you are getting stuff straight from Japan! I will definitely come back more frequently to this place as it has soo much cool stuff and everyday Japanese items that I could integrate into my life : )

Came to Teso as I was walking around Roosevelt looking for skincare products, since Roosevelt is the place to go for Asian skincare and haircare products. Teso has a wide variety of items, from snacks to knickknacks and personal care products. I've come to Teso before with my friend, so I knew there was a good amount of personal care products, but didn't really look around until this time. Man there's a lot of stuff and it was totally overwhelming. Would definitely recommend doing some research beforehand. The skincare products range from about $10 - 300. But if you're not prepared you can ask one of the sales people, there's about 3-6 of them all in that one little area. Generally speaking if there is a skincare product you want and is available at Teso, it's probably the cheapest at Teso.

So easy to get carried away here. They sell a plethora of Asian snacks typically sold overseas. They also sell other random things but we always only ever buy the sweets. I observed a cosmetics section, a home goods section and cute gifts all around the shop. My daughters love to browse the aisles but be prepared to bump into people and the fully stocked shelves because it's tight and very crowded. They have a membership card for savings but I always forget to sign up because checkouts are always rushed because of the crowded lines.

This store has a wide variety of Japanese imported products! You can find beauty products, snacks, home goods, and more. The price is sometimes hit or miss (you can find some of the food products and beverages cheaper at a grocery store). The store is well-organized and they also have promotions frequently. I check the promotions and will buy things discounted / on sale. I have gotten some good deals on candy, sheet masks, and more. Highly recommend stopping by here if you are looking for Japanese products. They also have a much wider selection of Japanese candy and snacks than the grocery stores so if there's something you're having difficulty finding, check here. For more common items like Pocky or Calpico, I'd recommend the grocery store since they will be cheaper there.

Stock here is extremely sufficient and well organized. The issue I have with this Teso Life is that the staff members are rude. One staff was walking around looking down at his phone so he'd walk into the middle of the isle not concerned about customers such as myself who's there to look around and shop. While I was in the make up section, a staff shouted at another staff which also happens to be right into my ear. I winced and dodged in pain as the shouting staff had no reaction and continued to shout to the other staff in Mandarin. Next up is check-out, I went to check out my items in my basket and the staff that was charging me wrung up the items and I was rummaging through my bag for the Teso Life prepaid card. She saw the cash and the credit cards I was digging through and she kept repeating to me, "Your total is 14.56..." "14.56 please" "Miss? 14.56." "It's 14.56!" Keep in mind, there's no line or anyone behind me and there's another cashier ready to take anyone else who's trying to check out. She kept rushing me until I found the Teso Life prepaid card and then she switched to ask me if I was a member and I said no. Note: I went to the other Teso Life in flushing to meet up with my bf and he bought some stuff so I used my Teso Life prepaid card and they asked me about the membership and I said no and they offered to help me sign up and explain about points system etc. What a breath of fresh air.

Sometimes I get Japanese snacks cravings. Like I think about coffee jelly sometimes. Pudding. Calbee chips. More like all the time. This store is like a mini Mitsuwa right in the heart of Flushing. Prices are comparable too! You can join their membership and they give you a card -- not sure what the benefits are yet but I'll see pretty soon since I'm sure I'm already a VIP customer by now...

Awesome store with lots of Japanese goods for pretty decent prices. Nothing too outrageous that I wouldn't have expected given that they do have to import these products from Japan. They have everything you could possibly need: cosmetics, kitchenware, bathroom supplies, snacks, sweets, umbrellas, cute decor items etc. They have deals on some items (usually by the door) so be on the lookout for that. Don't forget to sign up for their free members reward program too! I'm a big fan of royal milk tea and so glad that I could find it here for a good price!

Very cool to find a place with imported Japanese goods. It's very clean. Well organized. And staff are working hard to make it a good shopping experience. Note: it's just one floor, and not big in sq ft. Which was a bit disappointing, because I thought it was going to be like Japan's daiso stores of japan's DonQi stores, but was not. There was a good selection of snacks. A lot more expensive than regular Asian super market. Even a little pricier than like a HMART. They also have the signature tin can Japanese cookies in the blue boxes sold at all Japanese airports - so that was impressive. And same brand of those famous cookies, they had the pudding! Surprised and impressed they had them! Tried it at the Sapporo factory. Flavors was bold, tasted pretty good They also had Japanese make up - selection was not bad. But prices were like 3x more than if purchased in japan. But I guess saving on airfare? Might be worth checking on amazon What was good was for some of the kitchen stuff lol. Priced like 1.50-3 for helpful tools - very exciting

Really nice selection of Japanese sweets, snacks and make up. There was so many skin care options and it was surprising to see things imported straight from Japan. I loved the sweets section. There was so many flavors of kit kat and insta ramens. I wish there was more selections of bento boxes and maybe more home items like slippers. Cute spot for errands! Will be coming back !

This relatively new Japanese themed convenience store is a delight to visit. I love the Japanese culture and sometimes it's tough to find suitable authentic snacks such as crunchy small soft shelled crab snacks and goods when they are so far away. The store is bright and organized in a way that gives you the familiar convenience store feel. Right up front is the candy and chocolates with soft drinks located toward the right hand wall. The workers there were well versed in both Mandarin and English. I don't think I could finish browsing this whole store in one go. Overall the store was featured filled and suitalbe for those who hunt after Japanese snacks and products. However the prices were quite high.

If you're looking for a Japanese paradise for d grocery shopping, you've found it. Teso is a store with affordable groceries variety of options from imstant ramen, can drinks to snacks .

When banzai closed I was pretty bummed but in its place is now a fun convenience store filled with korean and japanese and other asian type goodies. Perusing the aisles I saw a lot of things that appeal to me. They had japanese sodas in orange, peach and watermelon flavors, different types of tea like milk teas, matcha, cherry blossom sakura and some apple and lemon tea leaves that looked interesting. There was an assortment of cakes, chocolate banana desserts and frozen mochi in the fridge section. There were also two aisles full of asian snacks like special kitkats, wasabi, seaweed and matcha snacks, pikachu cookies, ramen noodles and the like. Some can be found in the neighboring chinese markets and for a bit cheaper but its fun to dig around and see what they have thats different. They also had different stationary and household kitchen items for sale and an area dedicated to asian beauty products. The checkout line gets pretty long during the weekend since this store is pretty new. If you want to pick up some hello kitty soy sauce, fancy premium chocolates or a rillakuma doll this is the place for you.

This place is like what Banzai used to be, in its glory days when it was located in Flushing Mall. A good selection of Japanese products are available here, ranging from makeup and skincare to kitchen supplies to snacks to stationary to plush animals. And everything is priced acceptably - it's like an upscale dollar store. I bought a pair of kitchen shears, a scrubber, and a utensil holder for under $8. Pretty sweet! I will say that I do wish they had a premium selection alongside the cheaper stuff, as I wouldn't mind spending a little more money on a higher quality knife for example, but I guess that's not the niche they're aiming to fill. Of note is their selection of ready-to-eat or near ready-to-eat foods in the refrigerators. They've got desserts like mille crepe cakes, and particularly of note, ramen noodles. It's always been easy to get your hands on noodles in Flushing, but not ramen noodles. Also, they're open pretty late! I've always felt that stores around downtown Flushing, and really NYC at large, closed too early and thus didn't take advantage of nighttime business. I was in there at around 11pm and they were still fully open for business. Not sure what their hours are, but that's pretty impressive. Oh, and to seal the deal, there's no credit card minimum. Rejoice! Basically, there's no reason not to visit and take a look around. I'll be impressed if you manage to walk out empty-handed.

This place where Banzai used to be at. Sadly Banzai closed down.. yesterday morning as soon as I walked in this store in the front were a little disorganized & a guy in grey shirt was busy texting on the phone instead of focusing on customer. The aisles need to be a little more bigger where people could come by and go. It's just too tiny for people to pass by that I have to bump into a lady with her stroller. Most of the snacks, noodles packet, drinks they have in teso life they have it at other supermarkets. So nothing new about that. While I was passing by this place few times when they were under construction. They had teso life wallpaper covered on the door. I thought that they were gonna have Royce chocolate but they didn't. They have shampoo, snacks, drinks, bathroom stuff, and etc. I had to give 4 out of 5 stars is because I didn't find what I wanted it which was the mist empty bottle. They have soap pumping bottle, lotion bottle but not mist. Also the workers is on you, they follow you even though you don't need help. That part was just OFF Just a note: Put up RFID scanner in a shop doorway or stall a big tv camera in the front.

one of the nicest places to get ramen and good anime related items, sake and amazing sweets and a good place to play.

I love Japanese snacks and stationary! But to say the least- they're very rarely found so concentrated in a single store that's not in the vicinity of a well established "Japanese" neighborhood. I'm glad a Teso opened up in flushing :). This place has a variety of snacks that seemingly cover the entire store. The inside is very clean and well kept; objects are where they're supposed to be. In addition, they always have sales that rotate every week! I was here a week ago and they had hatomugi rice water (a toner of sorts for your face), and face wash on sale, this week, they had cotton wipes and sun screen on sale. The prices here aren't necessarily bad... they're sometimes cheaper than what you would be able to find on amazon. Teso also offers a point system where each dollar spent equates to one point, and when you collect 100 points, you get a $5 coupon off your purchase. It is free to join the point system, and probably takes like 45 seconds to register as the cashier will only ask for your phone number and last name before registering you into their membership system. The employees are pretty nice to. I really appreciate it when store employees occasionally ask if you need help-- rather than stalking you like a hawk. Teso employees are well informed on the uses of each product, and if you're unsure of what a certain product is, don't be afraid to ask them for help!

This review is based on my experience shopping at different Teso locations in Queens. The majority of staff are almost always rude/not friendly. Clearly the CEO does not prioritize it either. This seems to be a common complaint, and nothing has changed. I also noticed little smudge marks where the expiration date should be printed. Which leads my friends and I to believe they are removing the dates on purpose to continue selling expired food/candy. I will no longer continue supporting this chain.

Teso Life is a new addition to the Flushing neighborhood (which is a huge plus!) Welcome, Teso Life! Its former self was Banzai, also a Japanese discount store ranging from household supplies to kitchen gadgets. It also reminds me of Daiso Japan or the Japan Home Centre (JHC) discount stores from Hong Kong. For the most part, I enjoy walking up and down the aisles. I just wish that the aisles could've been more spacious because two people can't fit in the same aisle at the same time. I was surprised to see an entire aisle of baking tools!!! And boy, I was even happier to come upon a doughnut cutter (which I've been trying to find a stainless steel one that isn't too expensive for quite some time, since I can't seem to find a donut pan that will fit snugly in my little toaster oven). The donut cutter is $1.50 (a SUPER GOOD deal!) They're also selling bento making tools like flower-shaped cutters, utensil-shaped cookie cutters, big and small stainless steel tart molds that come in a pack of 2 (Note: $1.39 for small tart molds & $1.49 for the bigger ones), toaster oven baking trays, and disposable piping bags with the tips (either included with the pastry bags or sold separately ~ but still pretty cheap in my book). The Japanese snacks are a bit more expensive @ Teso Life, so I would buy them from other Asian supermarkets instead. Some Yelpers mentioned that they got followed around by the staff while looking through stuff, but I didn't experience that in my case. A girl who works there even handed me a basket when she saw me holding a few items in my hands. I ended up getting the donut cutter and 2 packs of tart molds (aka 4 molds in total). Overall, I find it to be a pretty good shopping experience & I'll definitely return in the future.

店长嘴上积点德吧。When you are unsure if your customers can understand what you're saying in Chinese, at least say it after the customer is gone and not in their face lmao.

Cute little store! I happened into this store after having dinner with a friend. I was attracted to the decor which was bright, clean and inviting. All of the products were asian which I loved. I love finding international products. I would equate this store to an asian CVS. There was so many interesting items, from food to toiletries to cosmetics. I didn't go through the entire store, just the front which appear to be the cosmetics area. I did purchase a facial mask. There were three varieties. I had to ask one of the employees to translate what was in on the box as none of it was in english. I was told the three mask targeted moisture, anti aging and one that lightened your skin. I opted for the moisturizing mask. It was reasonably priced at $6.99. From the prices I was able to read, the store is pretty pricey, but if you like finding new and interesting items, check them out. While i did not explore the entire store, I'm giving it a four star because it was very clean, organized and the employees were all very friendly. I took away one because it seemed a little overpriced.

They have EVERYTHING for japanese products! I am not joking, it is even better than DaiSo or Mitsuwa! Have to go back!

Great. Came all the way from Huntington and wanted to buy the hair serum. They said, oh they make a mistake on the price. And they just try to make me pay 10 more bucks for it. Great ad. Great service. Great manager.

My boyfriend is visiting from upstate and I thought it'd be a great idea to take him to teso life. However, as soon as we walked in, my boyfriend was racially profiled and we were followed for the entirety of our visit. When I was in an aisle by myself, I (asian) was not followed. However, when my boyfriend who is biracial came to join me, an associate of the store immediately started following us and staring at us anytime we moved to another aisle. Literally every aisle we went down, she would follow us and stand by the end and watch us as if we were gonna steal something. It was very uncomfortable for my boyfriend and I as we were not expecting to be treated like this as PAYING CUSTOMERS. The rest of the customers were asian as well and none of them were being followed except us. Do not go to this establishment unless you want to be treated with absolute disrespect and racism.

A fantastic Japanese addition to Roosevelt Street. I adore these little shops with their seemingly endless supply of goods from housewares to beauty to snacks and drinks. There is a lot to look at so take your time! My only gripe is that the mark up for the beauty products is quite a lot. My advice would be to look online for specific products to get a feel of price but truth be told, the instant gratification of having the products in your hand is hard to beat ;) Highly recommend!

I felt the price is cheaper than Target. Items' price are Attractive and reasonable. I Really enjoyed shopping in Teso. And I am exciting to find more new items soon.

Love this store sooooooooooooooo much! Looking for Japanese snacks? Omg this is the BEST store and you'll find plenty of awesome & rare stuff you cannot find at any major Asian supermarket! Japanese beauty & cosmetics, men's stuff, kitchen, stationeries...etc.

Absolutely hated shopping at this specialty shop in Flushing that has a large selection of Japanese candies, stationary and household items and even a small souvenir section in from selling trinkets one would find in a Tokyo gift shop. Why I hated it? Well, the isles are just way too narrow and it's extremely difficult to move around and look for something. Plus, the crowds made it even worse. I felt like every isle was blocked off and even if someone moved out of your way, there just isn't enough space to get around them. It's too compact and stressful to shop here. Prices seemed decent but I just couldn't take the claustrophobic setting. Not going to come back here and not recommended.

This is our favorite place to find Japanese products. We went to several of them nearby but this has the best selection. Love many of the snacks and drinks. My daughter loves the skincare products.

My spot for snacks and Japanese drinks. Also they have all kinds of skincare, makeup and household items. Sometimes I'd go in without needing anything and always come out having bought something. Remember to join their rewards program because you can easily accumulate them for cash back.

I happened to be in flushing today and saw Teso. So I decided to go in. I was i an awe it had everything thing I could possibly use. The workers were nice nobody followed me and I'm not even their race. And when it was time to ring up my purchase the Male cashier was very nice and polite to me. I will most definitely go there again.

Really great place with Japanese products that range from food, makeup and everything in between. They carry a ton of amazing Japanese snacks and drinks! Their makeup selection is pretty ample too. Thing you'd have to buy online, they have it here. My only complaint is the same as everyone else's. The aisles are super narrow and it's basically a one way aisle.

There's a large range of Japanese products in this shop ranging from kitchen and bathroom supplies, bottled drinks, plushies, candies that can be bought in some Asian supermarkets elsewhere, stationary, skincare and makeup supplies, and more. I was hoping to see some premade meals like those in other Japanese markets but they didn't, which wasn't really a problem anyway. I am glad this place has opened in Flushing with a wide range of products, including some drinks that I had bought before from vending machines on my trip to Japan because it reminded me of the good memories I had there. However the drinks were a bit pricier than expected in comparison to sunrise mart in St. Mark's, East Village. I would come back here to check out skincare or makeup products, stationary, and maybe kitchen and bathroom supplies as some of them looked interesting. The cashier's service was nice and I received a proper farewell. The aisles were narrow so be careful around the china in the kitchen section. I had to bump shoulders with a stranger in that aisle. There were a lot of employees who followed customers around, which kind of bothered me since I just wanted to look around first given the large range of products stocked. They did not really ask customers if they needed help and it kind of felt like they were trying to keep an eye out for any attempted thefts. I did not linger in any aisle for more than an appropriate time of about 1 minute and couldn't even finish seeing everything but the constant stares from the staff were kind of uncomfortable..
