This is the best pawn and loan around.They are very friendly and can always help you when your stuck in a rut. They also have low interest rates and I would highly recommend this pawn shop over the ones around it. Thank you Norwalk Loan you’re the best!!
Very friendly and knowledgeable, sold my camera for a good price. No hassle or headaches. Great place to checkout!
I went to Norwalk Loan company to see how much I could get for some jewelry. It was my first time selling jewelry and Frankie was extra kind and so helpful. He made the experience go very smoothly. It was the best decision to come here. I recommend this place to everyone.
Great service, not much quantity. Would recommend if you cant find somewhere better
I came in with a item that needed to get rid of and Jerry was awesome and very reasonable for what I looking for , would totally recommend anyone to come here and speak with Jerry ! Totally awesome guy will be back !! Thanks JERRY
I had gave this place a good review last time but the other day I tried to sale some new motorcycles helmets to them and I guess I must look like I do drugs or something but they only wanted to give me $20 dollars for a new helmet I know that they need t ok make there money to but come on I took my stuff and I left. Good luck for those how go into thos place. And the only reason they have good reviews is because they’ll tell you that they will give 5 to 10 bucks more if you give them a good review
Buyers be wear . They tried to sell me a fake omega watch $3000. When I got it authenticated the same day I go back to return it and they tried to charge me 10 percent restocking fee. Only until I said I would make a police report did they refund my full amount. Horrible business .
I had a gold chain and gold ring 14 k he assured me that he paid the highest prices for gold and silver but it isn’t true he paid 75% of gold price while most pay 85% or more I suggest to call around because he lied to me and you can do better

Esunlugar donde mis hijos compran eletronicos y estrumentos
Team member was cool help me get my stuff to get back into recording music store was already closing and made the time to help me out good job..
Good services I would go again
Not that i dislike the place . it is the only place around localy to buy the gear you need.it just seems like most of the time the sales people just dont want to spend time to sell you something. Almost as if they dont know the products?
It’s seems that i must have not hit the customer mark , or maybe I smelled bad been here twice and ignored for awhile. Did Not get any help so i walked around asking for advice from the customers, so i decided to get online where the screen won’t give me a bad attitude or roll it’s eyes at me , or just act like im wasting precious time .
I wish I could tell you it was one person but No the whole store was in a terrible mood.
So much for getting advice or help here. Good luck to the rest of you.
Unknowledgeable, unhelpful and untrained staff. Avoid.
8. Pawnmart Jewelry & Loan
Address: 12101 Firestone Blvd, Norwalk, CA 90650 , Norwalk , California , United States
I have never had any issues. Some employees could be a little more friendly.
Been going there for a few years, got my 3ds back today and they were beyond professional, employees lying so other employees won’t get in trouble, not even sure if my stuff works they didn’t want to verify it.
They dont take phones
Came here to look at guns. Employee stated I needed an appointment to even just look. I asked if he could order me a beretta and he said no. They had one in stock and it was $739.00 wow. He stated that there was a price increase because of the pandemic.
I’m not sure how these guys are trying to stay in business if they won’t even let me look. Also the placed was empty. For guns my advice would be to go to turner down the street or better yet head down to Ammo bro’s 10 minutes away in Cerritos.
9. Bellflower Music Center
Address: 17125 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, CA 90706 , Norwalk , California , United States
The gentleman that helped me was really nice and attentive, he helped me with my ukulele, thanks
Staff Always ready to help
Truly great customer service! Very professional and friendly service. They did an excellent repair on my sax while I waited and did it at a fraction of the cost compared to others. I’m definitely a return customer.
Helpful
Good attention, they help me free to resolve an issue about my guitar
Staff is friendly and customer service is top notch.
Owner has very bad customer service she refused to allow her employee to help me by saying that they were to busy but I was the only customer in the store at the time she also speak to her employees in a very rude manner I been a customer for a couple of years and always had a great experience with the employees I think the owner can learn something from her employees maybe she should stay in the back room and never come out I will no longer shop here and I will make sure none of my friends and family that I always recommend this place to will not shop here either
Way to Expensive
I rented a pretty old tenor sax from Bellflower Music back in August for my daughter, who started on a HS marching band. I signed an agreement, purchased insurance and pre-paid for 3 months. Yesterday, I went to return the sax as the director of music and the sectional leader all complained about the sax that is out of tune and the buttons are not working. In my defense I didnt want to purchase an instrument right of the bet because I wanted to see if my daughter continues to show interest and if she is committed to marching band. As the rental was coming to an expiration on the 19th of October it was time to return the instrument back to Bellflower and purchase a good working sax. We found an excellent but used Chateau at Long Beach Woodwinds and they helped us there compare between different saxes by trying them out. The feel, the tone, the buttons…no comparison to the Conn we rented from Bellflower. I understand you rent out instruments to many people, but take the time to make adjustments and test them before renting them out. I was surprised that no testing was done when we rented the sax but when I returned it yesterday they were testing everything. No comments were done on the contract when we rented the sax in regards to the condition but they put replacement cost for the sax equal to a brand new one. In addition, they now wanted me to return a strap that they never gave us. The guy insisted the sax had a strap but we neither got one, neither the accessories issued were noted on the contract. However, he told me I can come back another day and discuss with the manager. There was no way I was going to drive 1 hour round trip to discuss a missing strap and get charged for another month of rental. He refused to accept the rental back without me paying for a strap. I saw the bin with the straps and it says $5 for a generic strap I said here let me pay you for a strap and get out. He pulls a brand new Yamaha strap and demands I pay for a brand new branded strap. Let me reephasize… no strap was given to us, it is an used instrument…heavily used…with no list detailing accessories on the contract, with an insurance purchased for missing and broken parts…and now I was expected to pay for a brand new Yamaha strap, not the generic kind. I told him I am not paying for a brand new Yamaha strap to which he again said he wont take the rental back. He ended up giving me a discount on the Yamaha strap so we can close out the issue. Bottom line for me, as far as their instrument rental services go, is do not rent from Bellflower. Go to a place that lets you test the instruments, provides a guidance on what you need, especially as a beginner, and do not give you some super old untested instrument and then demand you pay for an accessory that they never gave you. I am not for $5 but for the whole service which seems to be concentrated on renting out malfunctioning and not tested instruments and then skimming more money by trying to say something is missing or broken. The guy was testing the instrument for so long trying to find something but as soon as I mentioned that we have insurance I kid you not he said “no, everyting is fine”. Thank God I purchased that insurance. I am so confident if I didnt he would have found millions of things wrong with the instrument, an old, beat up and u tested instrument….
10. Familia Pawn
Address: 12160 Firestone Blvd, Norwalk, CA 90650 , Norwalk , California , United States
The best place in this area to pawn your gold items! I went to about 10 others places over the last month and Family Pawn gave me $50 more cash than any other shop could offer! Very friendly and polite. I’ll be back!
Staff is always super nice to me each time I have stopped in over the years. Plenty of electronics, guitars, jewelry, and memorabilia, I came across a few gems today – You just gotta keep your eyes peeled.
Super friendly and gave me the best offer for my item!! Loved their service!!
Great family friendly establishment, good prices too!
This place is just a money wash, they said ” they only buy gold and for 20 a gram” don’t waste your time unless you really hurting. I think I should open up a pawn shop these people rob poor people, what a shame
Do not try to buy anything from this place. I paid for an item on offer up, waited a week for the owner to ship it, then today he canceled the order with no response to why. Then he reposted the item for sale. Bad business practices.
Very rude people
11. Mariachi Bakery
Address: 11042 Rosecrans Ave, Norwalk, CA 90650 , Norwalk , California , United States
Staff was very welcoming and nice. The food and drinks were yummy!
I love this place empanadas are so good , the bread very soft & coffee is very good I highly recommend the caramel flan latte thanks to all the staff. I hope this business prospers they are a great addition to the community. <3
First time here, but definitely won’t be our last. We Loved it. There’s plenty of parking in front and on the side of the bakery. Walking in, you have a patio seating to the left, inside also seating area, They have many baked Mexican breads and deserts, The menu is simple also including empanadas and burritos.
We ordered a strawberry thres leches frappe, my son ordered a concha bread.
The concha was crisp on the outside and soft delicious on the inside, perfect taste.
My strawberry thres leches frappe was delicious, Like having a real thres leches cake with strawberries. We will definitely be back to try the burritos and empanadas.
Chocolate crossaint was good, however the conchas were very dry from the bread to the sweet crust. Idk, very over hyped.
Coffee was okay and food was not the best
I tried this place for the first time this morning because I was curious. It’s an overpriced mexican bakery. There is much better bread at at a local neighborhood panaderia. Also, at the panaderia, they have champurrado. It’s a glamorized mexican panaderia.
bad
They need to fix the 3 leches cakes they to dry & the taste is not good enough
was excited to try this place out but it was such a letdown ): there was hardly any bread, the guava strudels looked over proofed & flat. They only had a pink concha left which tasted like soap, the champurado was good but I couldn’t get passed the pieces of cinnamon sticks & clumps coming up, would have preferred a smooth zip to enjoy the taste. I probably went on a bad day, overall the staff was friendly & it looked very clean.

Re
“They’ll be back in 15minutes” 4times in a row I tried coming here!! Used to be great service now it’s pathetic. The guy even closed the door on me as I walked up once and ran out the back. Of course he left his famous “be back in 15minutes” sign..it’s ok the next smoke shop is only 5min away ♂️
Says open at 9:30 and 9:42 shops not open. O well let’s see who else is open as advertised. Smh
Wasn’t greeted guy with pink hair was just on the phone I was gonna buy a nail and cap but posted prices were way to high literally double what I usually pay I love to support local shops especially one that’s walking distance but not with that customer service or high prices I guess I’ll just continue getting my glass from my regular place just sucks because it’s so close hope things change here
20. Alpha Electronics Inc.
Address: 10943 Alondra Blvd, Norwalk, CA 90650 , Norwalk , California , United States
Friendly and very good at what they do. & surprisingly affordable
Did a very great job fixing our dryer in a short amount of time and now it works better than before it broke. Thanks
Honest , intelligent guys.
Very knowledgeable great place to have your electronics worked on and repaired
Nice staff but they kept my tape deck over a month without fixing it. I had to call twice to inquire about the long turnaround and that’s when they told me they were looking for parts. I wouldn’t have heard anything had I not called. I finally gave up and said please reassemble my deck and I’ll pick it up. Gross lack of communication.
Tried to get me
There’s one thing that I cannot stand when you call to see if they can provide the service that you need and you hear them all the information and they don’t even return your call
