Everything is clean, nicely organized, and quiet. The woman working there was a very stable woman (giving me, earth sign vibes). Its like an artists dream in there, I would definitely go again.
Very friendly! Super knowledgeable and courteous. They have an amazing inventory and selection but only carry quality products for a great price. They have their own parking in back. Owned by the sweetest couple. Will be back! Highly recommended!
UPDATE: If I could give 10 stars, I would. During my visit I was greeted and helped by a friendly saleswoman, who reciprocated my good mood by saying I was “a lovely person!” Simply made my day. Can’t wait to visit sometime again soon.Helpful, friendly staff in an unassuming but well-stocked store. Everything from paint to glue to paper to thread. And they will help you find it in their floor to ceiling inventory!! It’s so refreshing to visit a locally owned business with great selection and even better prices.
My favorite art store. Huge selection. Pleasant atmosphere. Knowledgeable owners and clerks. If the owners give you advice, take it.
Great customer service. Walked in and they took care of me from start to finish. Had everything I needed, were super kind, and got me the best bang for my buck. If i ever need art supplies Ill be back here.
This shop may not look like much from the street but don’t judge a book by its cover. It is an amazing art shop for beginners like myself and experts alike. They are extremely helpful, accommodating, and patient even if you know nothing about art supplies and want the cheapest thing like me. Seems like a local couple owns it and feels very personal. Great experience. I wish these kinds of shops were everywhere.
The owner of this establishment is beyond helpful! I shared with him that I was beginner and teaching myself how to draw so I can improve my illustration skills. He willingly went down the list of supplies with me and helped me find everything I needed, also gave me great knowledge on what I needed for the medium I was going to be working with. I will become a loyal customer based off of his helpfulness alone but he also has great and affordable prices including a student discount. Thank you so much for your amazing service and knowledge, I look forward to returning to your store and doing business with you! Highly recommend this business to all artist in LA/Koreatown, whether you’re a beginner or a professional!
Nice customer service, prices are reasonable. Will come here again.
Came here three years ago to purchase art supplies, and the couple running the business were very friendly - they even gave me some free erasers and discounts as well. The owners knew the materials very well, and gave me advice on which comics to use. I’ve always wanted to go back. I moved two hours away recently and it seems as though it will be a while for my return. I love this place so much - it is small, yet has everything you need and is very cozy as well. It is run by the most sweetest and kind people ever. I will definitely come back when I’m older. ❤️ I would rate it six starts if I could. Thank you so much.
This place is awesome.Much larger than it looks from the street, and everyone that works there is always super friendly.They actually value their customers and want to help people get what they are looking for!
I recently came here to buy art supplies for school and the owner of the store was beyond helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the things that I needed. They even pulled out my instructors list of supplies and told me exactly what my instructor preferred. I was really amazed by this whole experience and I am definitely recommending this store to my friends and I’m definitely becoming a loyal customer of theirs.
The store is very pleasant and cozy! The owner was so sweet and friendly and helpful. She gave us 20% off discounts, and I found everything I needed. Their paper selection is also great! Worth my money!!
Nice little mom and pop art shop gem. Hidden but worth the trip.
They always have exactly what you need. Quality Supplies no matter your Medium.I choose this place over any other Art Supply Store in LA. They are the Best.They have everything you need. And if you want to up your art game or just start it, they have anything you could want or need for a beginners or experts. Small or Large scale they have it all.Family Owned and operated. Support Local Businesses. I have never regretted any purchase from here. Plus they always give students discounts.
Easy and quick service, they do a good job of controlling the amount of people inside so its safe and I was in and out under 10 minutes! they also offer a nice range of art supplies Ill likely be going back for. thanks :)
I always go to Blick or Michaels for my supplies but I thought I’d check this place out. Such an amazing place and great people that work there. Joanna helped me out with everything on my list of supplies I needed. Very informative and explained different washes to me. The prices definitely beat most art stores. Has everything you need in stock.
As good as ever, youll find the proprietor and staff here among the kindest, conscientious and courteous people youre ever bound to meet. Always helpful and attentive, I cant say enough good things about Tops Art Supplies.
The lady with the short hair is so nice and helpful. She helped me find everything I needed for my pattern making class. And she also give me a free pattern hook. The prices are great and students get great discounts.
Ive been coming here for about ten years now. Always great customer service and very fair prices. The store owner has seen so many art school/class syllabus so their memory of what you need is great. Highly recommend coming here!!
Greatest little hole in the wall art supply store! The staff is so helpful and personal when talking with you. I always feel at home whenever I visit here. Plus they have a great selection of Montana spray paint! Yay!!!
Awesome staff, great prices, awesome selection and always have what I need or can get it ASAP! Love having a local art supply shop that can really give me good in person service and help! Amazon and online cant touch this place!
Only really interacted with the Mrs. Boss, but staff has always seemed courteous. The bell at the door to get in is a little strange, but once inside, the store appears like a small store with a fairly large variety of product. I havent used the parking lot yet, because Im generally on foot with my dog. Ive always shopped at Blick, but Im happy to support local businesses/ mom and pop stores like this one. I also like Artists & Craftsman (which is a larger selection of painting supplies), but I know the Mrs. seems pretty flexible about ordering products you may need! Admittedly, I also use Amazon but so far Ive had only pleasant experiences at this business! (Only hesitation was of my dog, who is far from petite, but IS well behaved). Ill be back soon enough!
The staff here is always so nice and helpful. Everyone is always so friendly and ready to help. I love that they have their own parking conveniently under the store. Love coming here for my drawing supplies!
Went with a friend recently. The prices are great and its a really quiet but nicely stocked store! Also super friendly :))
Tops is an amazing art supply a gem on the east side of town.The prices are incredible, often 30% cheaper then some of the larger chain stores.The inventory isnt as big as some of the chain stores, but if youre looking for Quality materials they have many of the top products.
Small mom and pop art supply store. The staff couldnt be nicer. The selection is limited due to space constraints, but they have awesome calligraphy, and rice paper supplies. They did have one Montana Gold spray paint cabinet, which is what I was looking for, as well as some basic prismacolor graphite pencils. Its a little on the expensive side, which is to be expected and what your get for not shopping at the big chains.
Recently discovered store and have to say, “this will be my go-to for supplies onward.” A true gem indeed, off beaten path and tuck away of in heart k-town. Store has everything for just about every level of artist from amateurs to professional seeking tools to craft art. The owners informed they’ve been open for 33 years, wow! Now that’s a testament of success for any small business still standing. There’s parking in back and the owners are super nice.
Small selection but good quality products. The store is family operated I believe and they know the products very well. They usually have great deals on canvas as well as pens/markers.
Always great, friendly, customer service! An array of good paints and brushes as well as other supplies. Everything you need
This art store was recommended to me by one of the associates from the Lacc Bookstore and I had a great experience shopping here. The sales associates were very helpful and they each helped me knock out the list of items I needed. They were also very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place. They are currently having a 40% off sale till March 1st, 2018.
I have an active art business and Ive been shopping here for my art supplies for years. I happen to live in the neighborhood and am not Korean. They are extremely customer oriented and they have just about everything I ever use. I havent had to go to Blick for a long time now. Plus they are less expensive than Blick for the same products. I always call before I go to make sure they have what I need in stock. If anything happens and I need to bring something back they are really good about it except for products that are not returnable which they always let me know if that is the case. One time I was running a little late (10 minutes) and they were closing. I needed a product for a job that had to be finished that night. So I asked them if they could leave it outside the door in the back. They did since I gave them my credit card over the phone. They have also let me owe them on a few occasions. Like I said I have been coming in there for years so I dont think they would do that for someone they did not know. But at this point we are family. They like to see repeat customers and once you get to know them they will love you.
Wonderful mom and pop/local, art store. Its smaller than your typical art chain store, but they definitely carry all of the essentials, and the owners are so great that I hugely prefer Tops over Blick, Michaels, etc. I usually avoid conversing with sales people, but I always leave Tops in a great mood!
This place is great I went yesterday for the first time to get some art supplies for my son they are really helpful and the prices are really reasonable !
Words cant express how amazing this store is. I would buy art supplies from this store again (though it is an hour-long drive...) in place of Michaels, Blick, and even Amazon (in some cases). There are great deals, and this small store has everything an artist could need. Nearly all of the supplies are high-quality (they have a huge variety) and they even have brushed imported straight from Japan!! The owners really know about their supplies and make sure you know what you are buying. I love this store and I would love for all of you reading these reviews to go here without hesitation!!
Very clean, well organized, and friendly staff. It may be small but it is an excellent art supply store that will accommodate your needs.I go here often and never leave disappointed.
A great experience the older women literally got everything I needed quickly and even gave a 10 percent discount since Im a student! Definitely going back! Theres also free parking in the back which is rare in k-town!
This is a hard review, because although Tops does have good art supplies, and at reasonable prices; their customer service is atrocious. I went there to buy art supplies for a class I was taking. However, I would also return frequently to get supplies for art work I was doing for myself; they would ask me why I kept going when my class was already over. The tone they would use was very condescending. I had never before been asked by a store owner why I was buying their products. The kicker was when I went to buy white paint; I asked the owner if they had any in stock, then he told me in a rude tone that they didnt have any and rolled his eyes at me. Whatever happened to smiling at your customers, and charging them without asking them why they are bringing revenue to your store? Needless to say, since that eye rolling incident I havent done business at Tops.
A family owned store, Tops has a full range of art supplies and always makes you feel comfortable. They especially cater to Otis fashion students, and if youre there more than a few times, they will remember your face, and probably your name. Wonderful people, wonderful store - cant recommend it enough.Hrs: m-f 9:30-6:30sat 9:30-5:30
Lovely family-run store with cheaper-than-average prices for studio art supplies! quite small, so they might not carry everything - but for studio basics like canvas, paint, tools, etc. they are great!
Amazing customer service! Really personable, and they take care of their clients, especially their regulars. Shop local!
Had a bad enough experience that Im going to actually take time to give this place a 1 star. The owner (a Korean man) seems to have rudeness in his blood. Hes consistently annoying every visit... telling customers to shop quickly and follows me around. Like just give me a shopping basket lmao. 1/5 The owner is just so unfriendly, theres plenty of places that actually deserve business.
Top notch place for art supplies, been going there for years. Really nice and helpful storeowners, good selection of materials at very reasonable prices. Always a good place to shop! Highly recommend!
Reasonable and covenient store.The best and only art store close by in the neighborhood, nice and convenient art store.
The place is really nice! Prices are fair, but are better when there are holidays because they have discounts! A wide variety of pencils, paint, sketchbooks,& canvas. There more, but too much to list
Wonderful store, very helpful owners and sales associates. Stocked with specialty fabrics, brushes for calligraphy and variety of other standard products.
This place is a hidden gem for artist. I say this because it has a good selection of art supplies and fashion supplies. I enjoy coming here because the owners are very helpfull and know their products. I would definitely recommend this place.
Super helpful and they had everything needed for class, including the instructors list! In and out with every needed supply for art class in 20 minutes. So glad this was our first stop!
I was looking to get my parents some Asian Art materials and to my surprise, they have a vast variety of supplies that was perfect for my parents. I was also on a budget and they were more than willing to work with me. Definitely will come back for more!
Excellent art store! I agree with other posters that everything is organized well and the owners are so helpful. They even gave me a discount after they rung me up!
Wow... Im an art teacher working in Los Angeles for over 10 years. I have bought art supplies from every possible outlet in LA possible. This place is the biggest rip off ever!! DO NOT shop here! They charged me $35 for a $15 bottle of glue. If I wasn’t so desperate on time for a lesson I wouldn’t have paid but man oh man this place is an ABSOLUTE RIP OFF!!!!!!
I have been coming here for over 3 years. I am in there sometimes twice a week. They say Im their best customer. It is run by a very friendly and helpful family. They are always curteous and cheerful. Prices are great. Support your local businesses !!
This place was recommended by a classmate and I came in today and I have to recommend this place to everyone!!!! The nice man not only helped me with my list of items he also gave me extra discount on some discounted items which is fantastic! Im giving this place 5 stars for price and for the great help I received today. I Will come back.
Great store that had supplies I needed. I went in for sewing thread and left with art markers also! Great prices and helpful couple! I will be coming back for more art supplies.
Everything you need in one cute low key little hole in the wall shop in ktown! Good prices, amazing selection on papers and not to mention the owners are SO nice and helpful!
This was my first time and I have to say, there were so many supplies but the store seemed too small. Other than that, I recommend this place for all art majors.
They personally helped me find everything for my art classes. Felt right at home.
I highly recommend this place. I was shopping for a friend and dont know much about gouache or the other mediums, however, the lady at the shop gave me some good pointers. I left a happy better informed customer. =)
This place is really cool and its in Koreatown. The owner of this place their are really nice. I think it has all the art supply you need for art class or art school. The inside is really clean too
Store looks small but depends what you are looking for I am sure youll find it.They have all kind of staff for art painters.mFrom acrilic paint.

So nice and welcoming!! My new favorite art store!!
The lady who runs the store is extremely helpful and they have a little bit of everything that you would need for an art or craft project.
The woman was really nice and took the time to hand cut some white cardstock for me since they didnt have any precut ones. I got just wahat I needed!
I have bought supplies at this store since the 80s. I was pleasantly surprised to get a 40% discount for the holidays on my last visit.
Really great prices on art supplies, sometimes even cheaper than at big stores. Very friendly staff
It is a small place but it does seem to have a variety of art supplies.
You have to ring the doorbell to get in, but the owner was extremely friendly. He asked me what I was interested in and gave me a small rundown of all the items that he suggested.

2022-09-11Great mom and pop shop with good prices. You feel well taken care of as they are very knowledgeable about art and will help you pick out what you will actually use/need rather than try to upsell you. Very kind, lovely people. Support small businesses!!

2022-04-19Never in my life has anyone ever humiliated my mother and I this horribly. A few years back my mother brought me in to buy me some art supplies for my birthday and as soon as I walked in I knew something wasn’t right. The store clerk followed us around the entire time and when we asked about the prices of items that weren’t clearly marked, they replied with “oh, that’s too expensive, you can’t pay for that.” What?! They just assumed we were broke because… why? Maybe because we were Hispanic customers? This experience left me traumatized and I can’t believe they are still in business. Horrible experience. Btw the the most expensive item I inquired about was like $30, so there was definitely some racial discrimination behind those comments.

Review №10
2021-06-11I cant express how much I love this store. It has everything I need from quality acrylic and oil paint to fine and coarse paintbrushes. Its all at a reasonable and affordable price, even better than the prices in Amazon in some cases. The canvases are usually on sale which makes things even cheaper for me. There are brush holders, jars for paint water rulers, poster boards, miniature decorations, clay and clay tools, and basically anything and everything you might want as an artist. On top of that, the customer service is great with the employees being knowledgeable about the supplies and are very courteous and polite. I love frequenting this store and would highly recommend it for artists of all skills and levels!
