If you are looking for a place in Queens that truly understands Asian beauty, lifestyle, and everyday essentials, DIGISO at 37-58 82nd Street is hands-down one of the best spots in the neighborhood. I walked in expecting just another small beauty shop, but I was honestly impressed by how well-curated and diverse the product selection is. They carry a wide range of Korean skincare brands—both the big names and the newer trending lines—so whether you're into classic routines or chasing the latest K-beauty innovations, you’ll find something you love.
One of the first things that stood out to me is how organized the store is. Everything is easy to browse, with clear sections for skincare, makeup, personal care, lifestyle goods, stationery, home items, and plenty of cute gift options. DIGISO doesn’t just throw products on shelves; you can tell someone carefully selected the inventory so customers can discover high-quality items at reasonable prices.
The K-beauty skincare selection deserves special attention. They carry hydrating toners, gentle cleansers, sheet masks, serums, sunscreens, and moisturizers from many reputable Korean brands—exactly the kind of products that people are searching for online, but here you can actually touch, test, and compare them in person. The pricing is very fair. Most items cost the same or even less than what you find online, and it’s great to see that DIGISO makes premium beauty accessible without the markups you often see in Manhattan or larger chain stores.
Beyond skincare, the store carries a lot of lifestyle items—small accessories, home goods, gadgets, cute stationery, and seasonal gift sets. Even for quick casual shopping, it’s easy to walk out with bags of great finds. They also restock often, so there’s always something new when you visit.
Overall, DIGISO on 82nd Street is a clean, friendly, and well-run store with excellent prices and a standout selection of Korean beauty products. It feels like a place built for the community: approachable, fun to shop in, and full of great value. Whether you're starting your K-beauty journey or already deep into it, this store is definitely...
Read moreIts dangerous to be in this store longer than 30 minutes!? Haha! I want to buy everything!!!
I start with the candy beside the register then browse for any unique blind box minature sets to the opposite side on the right. I then go to the middle of the store for hair accessories and typically grab 2 claws and a set of barretts.
My favorite section is the far back right handside with THE CUTEST SELECTION OF PLUSHIES! I've gotten a couple medium sized Squishmallows, and also a Kaiju Hello Kitty.
Sometimes pick up a few storage containers for organizing and kitchen items like a pair of chopsticks, a water bottle, a tea and tea saucer, or a lunch bento.
I appreciate their customer points system where its kind of like the tickets you get at the arcade and based on the # of points you have, you can pick a prize.
Staff on the floor are helpful, often seen restocking. And the cashiers are quick and efficient at checkout.
It's a clean, neat, non-cluttered store, despite how many people are touching/rearranging everything.
One thing I haven't bought yet are the clear stackable display cases for vinyl toys. Definitely need those!
I'll be back that's for sure! Isn't it obvious I'm a return customer! THANKS - from a nearby &...
Read moreI have an experience to tell that I hope the employees see if not, some people will consider coming by this place. So, I usually go there to get my hair care products, more specifically the "Tsubaki Deluxe Shampoo" it makes your hair soft and smell amazing, as I was browsing the store and it's other items and cute plushes with my family, a song from the k-pop group "Stray kids" started playing, I'm a big fan of them and I usually don't hear them in public. So, normally, I started humming to it. An employee there noticed that I was humming to the song. Now, after the song ended, I went back to browsing the store now. She told her co-worker something, and he played a different song.. "S-class". Now, at this point, I'm going feral, and I'm extatic that someone else knows who Stray kids are. So, as we were getting ready to leave, I looked at her, and she smiled at me. She knew that I knew that I liked Stray Kids.(I don't know if that makes sense) Now, I just want to say thank you to those employees there. It made me feel so happy and excited that someone else knew them when I thought no one else did. This store will now forever be my favorite.
