Checkout staff work their butt off. Store is always 30% full of needed items- why? They are a busy store. I still get my needs: stuffed salmon, flavored soda, prosciutto, great frozen meals and coffee creamer. Love the "aisle of shame"- which has housewares. read more

I love Aldi They have really interesting foods and snacks And a lot of cool home stuff too actually LOL. I love browsing there when I go grocery shopping. I love the fact that they have products that other markets don't have. I especially like the cheese slices here for my sandwiches And if you like melona ice cream ITS 4.99 HERE. ITS LIKE 8.99 at the Korean market. read more

I wavered between 3 and 4 stars, the prices in produce are good. Not a good selection of vegan meat and cheese, too bad. Also a lot of stuff seems like offbrand, and if they're gonna do German imports I'd like to see them lean into it and offer more obviously German products. They don't play music and the staff doesn't seem happy to be there. The overall feeling is a bit glum. But the prices are better than most places. Still, give me a Grocery Outlet any day for anything but produce. That being said, produce prices here are good. and I can see it becoming my go to for produce read more

First time at this Aldi in Gardena, located near (or in) then Pacific Square Shopping Center. There is plenty of parking, and plenty of shopping carts lined up outside, ready for your quarter. I've noticed that brand new Aldis (like the one we frequent near our home) have a slightly different layout than this older one. In terms of product, it was well stocked with the essentials that we expect and even had the 'champaign' cheese that seems to be always out of stock at ours. This store does NOT have self-checkout, so they had two checkout lanes open, each with its own queue. Credit cards are accepted at Aldi's now, so good opportunity to get 5% back using the right credit card. read more

I love Aldi's. They have quality food and great prices, almost always cheaper than the competition. And the service is great. they run a very efficient operation. This store has been a Godsend, helping me eat good food at reasonable prices. The savings that I experience compared to other grocery stores is significant. I strongly recommend you try Aldi's in Gardena. You can't go wrong here. 10 STARS, REPEAT 10 STARS! read more

Love ALDI for the great prices and essentials, but this location really needs self-checkout! It's so outdated having to wait in the aisle for a cashier to call you up. The process feels slow and inefficient, plus the cashiers ALWAYS seem so unhappy to be there! I'd much rather scan my own groceries like other locations, it's faster and a better experience for everyone! read more

Missed a 5 star rating because I love Aldi! They usually have everything on my grocery list each time I go shopping. The Gardena location is the one that I most frequently visit. Their prices on grass fed beef and poultry fit right into my budget. They have brand name items as well as off brand, I buy it all. The team of employees is always very pleasant and efficient when checking out. The store itself is clean, but unfortunately, the restrooms definitely needed some attention. There was hand sanitizer in the soap dispenser rather than soap. I could tell that no one had cleaned the sink, mopped the floors, or cleaned the toilets in quite some time as there was scum in the sink that was pretty noticeable. The floors were sticky and stained. I will not go into the details of the toilet bowls. The same was also found in the second bathroom, both all gender. Message to Management: While I am a devoted Aldi shopper, I am asking that you do better in this area. Because I truly love this location, and I was shocked, it is definitely a must to have a clean and sanitized restroom. read more

So when I went on the Aldi market a while back, it was very dirty inside the store and they didn't have much product. It was just a lot of stuff was empty. I used to frequently visit the Aldi in Huntington Beach and they had so much product in the store was very clean. I was very very unhappy with all these. read more

Good prices and nice assortment of goods. The store is clean. However half the time I come here the line is long to checkout and it takes a while to get through. The cashiers can also be off putting and not super friendly. read more

The store is clean , however I don't know how I feel about not having baskets available ? They rent carts for a quart but sometimes you forget that quarter and it's a set back . Another thing is the no bags at all available ? Not even to purchase . I like the idea you guys are trying to create but it would be nice to advertise that for customers like me who are first timers ! Maybe put a poster somewhere emphasizing to bring a bag and your own basket to carry all items . read more

Do not use their delivery service. I ordered a $24 item and 2 other items equaling $9. The $24 item was cancelled by the store because it was not available. I had indicated a $5.50 tip for the shopper. The total order (not including any fees, just the merchandise received) was only $9 but the tip remained as $5.50. So the shopper got an over 50% tip. I contacted customer service and they refused to do anything about it. They could have at lease given me a small store credit or something. I will never shop at Aldi again read more

The place is going downhill, they need to go back to their german roots. They use to sell things that would remind me of home. From Berlin, I use to always love Aldi. They use to sell things here that I use to love quite a bit. The service here is ok, the place is going downhill. Not sure if its the area or what. The food is ok. But the atmosphere is off when compared to other german markets. read more

Nice selection, friendly and helpful staff, very reasonable prices. Selection changes from time to time so if you see something you like, stock up because it may not be there on your next visit. Carts require a quarter, so make sure you have one with you if you need a cart. Return the cart to get your quarter back Highly recommended. read more

I like this location has many choices. But one thing that you need to consider is to hire a people that is customer friendly. read more

Beware of the ALDI on redondo beach Blvd!!! I went there to purchase this chicken breast on sale on 11.04 and was told 1. That add applies to a different ALDI? and the add applies to SPLIT chicken breasts and not the boneless, skinless chicken breast in the Add??? I spoke to two managers and they would not listen or even recognize I had an IN date add which they refused to honor? Beware of the redondo beach ALDI because you won't know which add applies to them??? Addendum. I attempted to send an email to aldi customer service but three times the email failed to go through from my gmail account and was labelled "spam". Finally on my fourth Attenpt it appeared to go through read more

ALDI - Advertisement I brought into the store which they refused to honor? - Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

I really enjoy yours store because the prices are lower than regular grocery stores with the same quality.

After reading most comments I am shocked how negative people are about the baskets and petty grievances toward the hardworking staff at this fantastic market ! Your not going to beat the prices or the quality . lots of name brands and fantastic European brands that American consumers are so weary of . Don't let that put you off because it's great products . The signature Aldi items are out standing. The breads fruit and cheeses are superb . Meat and fish and poultry is good too . All condiments are well priced you will safe a ton of money by shopping here . The bathrooms are clean and I think it's fantastic the checkers get to sit down on those chairs , if you ever have worked as a checker it's exhausting and thank less work , I say bravo to the the hardworking people of ALDIS !!! The housewares are fun and interesting what a fun concept store . Go see for your self ! read more

Welcome to Gardena, Aldi! I shopped at Aldi with fam over the years in Chicago where they are based out of Batavia, IL. There are a couple things to know. First, you have to put a quarter in to a get a shopping cart. At the end your visit, you have to return the cart, once you connect the lock properly from the cart in front, you get your quarter back. Second, once you checkout, you have to go to the wall and bag your own groceries. I know this is different for SoCal but, they do not have courtesy clerks to keep overhead low thus, the competitive prices. First thing, I grabbed was a little bag of mini-donuts, I think they were only 1.69 *Just a few others* 10 oz. bag of chips 1.29 Fish sticks 2.99 Baby carrots 0.95 Gallon water 0.79 Sloppy Joes sauce 0.79 6 pack cup instant shrimp cup 1.54 Olive oil spray 1.39 5 pound bag potatoes 1.79 Christmas popcorn tin 3.99 Almond milk 1.99 Double stuff cookies (yes!) 1.75 Chuck steak for the fam 5.22 ...and more! Another customer asked me about the cart return process. I helped her out and she thanked me as well as commented on the awesome prices. Aldi is for me and my fam. It may not be everyone's cup of tea as they do have brands most are not familiar with and the cart process is what it is. Seems they negotiate w/own their suppliers for certain costs. Good on the seafood options and not too bad with vegetarian as well. Clerks and staff were efficient and kind. Great vibes all around. read more

There was only one reason why I came through here: CURIOSITY. Hubbers and I drove by a few days ago and had NO idea what this place is. I had some time to kill so I decided to come by and check out what ALDI is supposed to be about. Located on the same exact spot where Smart and Final used to be. Parking lot is shared with a few other businesses, but not a problem. I didn't need a cart since the intent was to just look around. An elderly woman had asked me to return hers since it w was too strenuous for her. (She had a cane, so I understand it might be a bit of a trek for her.) I returned the cart at its designated area and went straight into the store. (I later learned that a quarter is needed for the shopping cart which will be refunded back when the cart is returned. Had I known this, I would have given her a quarter! I feel bad...BUT NOW I KNOW!) Oh, and for the record, I like this idea. That way, people won't be just leaving their carts all over the place potentially dinging other people's cars (I find it really annoying when people don't return them to the designated area when it only takes a few seconds.) or even risk carts from thievery. Moving on. So, it's a grocery store! I'd describe it as a notch or two down compared to the likes of, let's say, Smart and Final. The first impression I got at walk-in was how clean and neatly placed everything is. The floors were without stains or marks. All the items in each aisle were stacked very neatly. The selection for frozen as well as fresh food was pretty decent. (Fresh salmon, WHAT?!) Most items weren't famous brands you normally see at a regular grocery store, but they weren't without it either (they carry coke, for example.) It was easy to maneuver everywhere. I left empty handed, though, as I didn't really need anything. Like I said, I came through out of curiosity. I'd return should the need come up, though. I'm strangely intrigued to try some of their items. read more

If you've never been to an ALDI in Europe, it's basically the exact same look and feel as its American counterparts. However, they definitely cater to the American shopping habits with a lot more variety and selections. You even have to deposit a quarter to borrow a shopping cart, but get that deposit back if you return the shopping cart to its home base. Prices are okay, not the most expensive but definitely not the cheapest either. If you live in Gardena, come give ALDI a look. Who knows, you might find some hidden gems. read more

Located off Redondo Beach Blvd in Gardena parking shared with the other businesses not a large store but a good size they seemed to be pretty stocked up with fruits and vegetables as well as cereal and other stuff. Overall not a bad grocery store a good alternative to your Ralph's and Albertsons. Prices not too bad either. read more

The quality of the food is really good. It feels like a more economic Trader Joe's. The execution is what's not so good. A lot of times the carts that take quarters don't work and you lose a couple quarters before getting a cart. Also, much more often than a regular grocery store there are things out of stock. Lastly, the price tags are OFTEN not accurate. Today's examples were ice cream bars that were many boxes posted at $2 just to see it for $4 on my bill. I like the quality of the food so the pros outweigh the cons, just be careful if you're on a budget. They have to honor their posted prices so you can definitely ask for a price change, but I didn't want to hold up the line. read more

ALDI - a person holding a receipt in their hand - Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

I love Aldi's. This place is awesome and I have no idea that this location did pick up groceries so you're able to order them and come and get it. Although I did try and order my groceries yesterday they were too busy and so now I'm doing it in the afternoon, which makes it a little traffic for me but it's worth it. The food is good quality even though nothing is namebrand. And the fruits in the vegetables are good to go. I love the grapes they're huge and I end up eating a whole bundle while I'm in the store grocery shopping lol, this parking lot is packed there's a lot of people here. This is a great location they're very well stocked. You have to put in a quarter to get your shopping cart but you get it back when you return it it helps keep the cost down of people having to go out in the parking lot and round up all the carts. Which intern makes groceries cheaper for us. Like I said, good spot, good store. Good customers and good food. read more

To all the privileged people out there who complain about the shopping carts, I have to shake my head. First of all there is a huge problem with people stealing shopping carts from local stores, so that is part of the need for the deposit (which you get back when you return the cart) but this store has phenomenally low prices and part of that is because they cut down on staff by incentivizing shoppers to return the cart themselves. It's not the kind of store that has 10 versions of every product, but I find a great majority of the groceries I need here. They have some niche products but likely won't find very specialty items like exotic spices here. Everything very fresh and it's always organized. read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't very crowded. Tip: Bring 25 cents if you want a shopping cart, don't expect the checkout person to bag your stuff - there's a section to bag your stuff, and don't expect a bunch of name brand items. This place is pretty big and it's clean. They offer a variety of produce, meat, milk, stuff for baking, and packaged goods. I didn't recognize most of the brand names, but I still bought packaged tofu, their frozen strawberries, and a package of spinach. The tofu didn't seem marinated enough to me - it seemed bland, even though it was marinated. The berries we use in a smoothie, so I haven't had the chance to taste them thawed out. The spinach is good, though. It was a good deal. Although we didn't buy any meat, it looked pretty fresh and well packaged. I don't know if I'll come here for my main groceries, but it's nice to have close by when I'm missing a few ingredients! read more

Terrible service of the cashier level they claim they are not packers when I help you pack they just throw your stuff on the basket as soon as I can without any concern or care for you or the items that you could just purchase they want to get you out of there as soon as possible read more

I had heard about Aldi (usually in the "we need a Trader Joe's in this neighborhood" discussion), and was passing by today so finally stopped in. Color me impressed. Disclaimer: I was not making a grocery run, so didnt have my list or anything, was just scoping things out. First, by far and away, the prices. Because they don't have certain frills (hot bakery, butcher, rotisserie), you save. You bag your own groceries and you save. People, if you have a problem bagging your own groceries, you haven't noticed most grocery stores in CA moving to this model. The place reminded me of Fresh and Easy. I haven't tried their meat or frozen section yet, but I really liked some of their components. They have $2.50 wine, guys. I liked the look and taste of their produce (big thing for me). And the grocery carts! Smart. Excited to go back. read more

Ridiculously low prices for decent quality groceries. I've bought eggs for less than $1 and pineapple for $0.95. I think it's super rare to find a great bargain nowadays when it comes to groceries and organic foods. Aldi does have a small organic section and I'm pretty satisfied with the selection of broccoli and standard vegetables. Shopping carts require a deposit of $0.25 and bags do cost money. read more

Great prices and good quality! And workers so far they have been friendly and helpful.

I've shopped other ALDIs before for the discount pricing but wasn't aware that their food doesn't have the same additives as the regular grocery stores. We eat healthier food for a much lower price. We used to shop Food4Less and noticed a HUGE difference in the amount we were spending. By far we spend less and get better quality food at Aldi. The dog food they carry has also been amazing for our dogs and their allergies. read more

Very professional shopping experience. Good knowledge of where items are, very easy to understand, GREAT selection of items to choose from. Fresh items, very reasonable prices an overall excellent experience here. THIS store has MORE available items then our store in Lancaster, CA. Thank you for the outstanding service and making people feel at home. Very friendly staff and personnel. Sincere, Tom Petrik read more

They always have a great selection on meat and poultry at very reasonable. They sell Brand x items at a fraction of the cost of brand name items that other markets sells. Very good value. Would highly recommend. read more

No wonder this Aldi crappy store has 3 stars doesn't deserve more today I was shopping by the second time there I found everything that I need when I decided to leave the line was in the back of the store. Because the prices are cheaper imagine what kind of people goes there! they don't have all kind of vegetables or fruits that are seasonal the stock is very weak. Many selves empty the milk fridge was also empty many items was missing. I saw the price tags on the selves and not behind them. Finally I got into the cashier the cashier was rushing me extremely rude to the point that I had to yell at her to stop to kick me out in a hurry of the store as fast as she could. YES CASHIERS IN THIS STORE ARE EXTREMELY RUDE I said: calm down lady! I had to take my time. Some items are very cheap that I don't even know if it's trustworthy to eat them. Brands I never seen before scary! From where they are getting such a cheap food and selling to the public. Horrible service I don't recommend Aldi to anyone. Don't full yourself going there. I just realized in my second try going there. Spend a little more and go to a regular market that you know the brand and they will treat you better. I won't go back there anymore who knows what I'm eating??? to complete the nightmare the carts outside with the $ 0.25cents that you have to deposit to take the cart use it and rescue later your coin which is another deal because everyone lacks smartness they are around that area lost like chickens and they don't know how to plug or unplug the F....cart to get your quarter back.They don't read English consequently everything turns hard to understand. Can you imagine the kind of low lives that goes shopping in this crappie market! The store works with the minimum personal inside the store is not even a full market they tried to imitate Costco but they couldn't. It's unbelievable the lack of manners and tact with customers. The brand of the food I never seen and I don't know where is coming from yeah people not everything that shines brighter is GOLD. Looks more a scam then the true deal! I'm out of the market forever I never visit ever again and I strong recommend that you don't go there! Have some love to your body and don't eat the weird brand that they have. Have you seen this salmon brand and this dark chocolate brand names??? read more

Aldi is my type of store. No frills, no whistles just good quality food for very reasonable prices. I shop for a family of 6. Typically make dinner 5 x's per week, pack 2 b-fasts, 2 lunches per day and make 1-2 huge breakfasts on the weekends. I spend about $175 per week, which is a lot less than I use to spend at my local Ralph's and still had to buy meat somewhere else as my local store doesn't have a meat counter. Most of the meat is vacuum sealed and lasts about a week with out any issues. I don't have to worry about forgetting to take something out of the freezer. My grocery day is on Monday's and usually takes me 45 minutes, since the store is small. I totally don't mind putting in a quarter for my cart, actually I think it's a brilliant idea. Cashiers are not chatty or super courteous but they're super fast and I never wait long- so no complaints. The counter to bag your groceries is also a good idea, as I pick a corner and bag everything the way I want without feeling the stress of someone waiting for me to finish. In closing, I am very happy and will continue to shop here. read more

We liked no frill market ALDI in Germany very much, so when we found ALDI opening here, we were very curious. Finally we went this one in Gardena and found it 1 very clean 2 very reasonable price 3 many variety 4 fresh fruits and vegetables 5 well organized and efficiently designed inside 6 not crowded We were very pleased and bought many good food including Bavarian white sausage. We will be back here soon. read more

I love Aldi's the prices and the customer service are fantastic!! I love their plant based items and parking is great!!

This was a complete waste of time. First of all, it was annoying that I have to deposit a quarter to grab a shopping cart. It was difficult to find what I was looking for. It only has beer and wine. It's definitely not a full-service grocery store. read more

I like the Aldi concept and aside from being a little tough to get to - the other Aldi's I know of area a minute or two from a freeway ramp, this is good. I seem to be there when a male cashier is in and he's good and actually helpful within what seems to be the Aldi low-touch style. read more
