I recently stopped by the Sprouts Farmers Market at Eastland Center, and let me tell you, it's…read morenice. especially since it's just a minute off the freeway, so super easy to get to. The center itself is a big shopping hub with plenty of parking. it's always bustling, but I swear, no matter how busy, you can always find a spot just maybe a little walk from the front. It's been a couple months since my last visit, and wow, they've added a fantastic new section right as you walk in on the right-hand side. Now, they have a cozy coffee and breakfast area! They brew fresh coffee and serve breakfast sandwiches from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The prices looked super reasonable, like breakfast burritos or a cheese sandwich and I can't wait to try them, though sadly, I got there in the evening, so it was already closed. Next time, for sure! Of course, Sprouts is known for its fresh sushi, bakery, and their custom sandwiches. they really do a sandwich bar better than a certain big chain (cough, Subway). The price is about $5.99 or $6.99 with chips and water so it's a steal. My only gripe? They used to have this pesto sauce( my absolute favorite) and chipotle, honey mustard and it's gone! Now it's just mayo or mustard, which is a bit of a bummer. Management, if you're reading this, bring back pesto! Despite that, it's still a crowd-pleaser, always a line for those sandwiches, and for good reason. One thing I'm not a fan of is their fresh meat section. it's nice, but always overpriced. Whether it's chicken, salmon, or beef, I just can't justify it. Trader Joe's has better variety for less. On the bright side, their fresh produce is always top-notch, big sections, tons of snacks, vitamins, and even a great soap bar selection (I always grab a few). I got a roast beef sandwich on whole wheat it was divine and some fresh prepared salad and salmon for later. Plus, they have at least eight self-checkouts so helpful when it gets busy. They take all major credit cards, and I love that they have both big and small carts the smaller one makes navigating those aisles a breeze. All in all, a fun stop, and I'll be back. just, please, bring back pesto sauce for sandwiches!!

Review The place…read moreitself is excellent, and the food is really good, which is why it's disappointing to say that the service needs significant improvement. The staff is extremely slow, and in my experience, there is also a lack of care when preparing the food. The employee leaned so far over the table while making the sandwiches that her clothing and body were practically over the food. I understand that everyone has different body types, but this is something that should be handled much more carefully for hygiene and food-safety reasons. On top of that, her attitude was not very friendly, which made the experience even less pleasant. It's unfortunate because the food and the place are great, but the lack of speed, cleanliness, care, and customer service really affects the overall experience. I hope this can be taken as constructive feedback and that these areas can be improved.

Okay, Tokyo Central -- I'm back. Again. Against my better judgment…read more It's a full-blown love-hate relationship, and honestly, I'm not even sure which side is winning anymore. I love the ready-to-go meals. I hate that my wallet cries every single time I walk through those doors. And yet, here I am. But here's the thing -- they never skimp on quality, and that's what keeps dragging me back like a moth to an overpriced flame. Those roast beef sandwiches are still $4.99, and at this point, that price tag alone deserves a standing ovation. In this economy? Iconic. Their uni puts every other Asian market I've tried to absolute shame -- no contest, don't even argue with me on this one. The real MVPs of the store, though? The soup noodles and sushi rolls. Genuinely elite. And don't even get me started on the drink selection -- if it came from Japan and you can't pronounce it, they probably have it. As for the meat section -- surprisingly solid. Most cuts were quality grade, which, given the prices, is the bare minimum they could do. At least they're holding up their end of the deal. Will I be back? Obviously. Do I need therapy for it? Possibly.

They are good quality. Oh, too bad ~~ Cashiers was pretty nice and gave us bags for my Dad's EBT. Really wish they have a Tokyo Central near us, I live to shop there!

Well no ish idiot, I don't think you'd serve leftover wings from last night, but just because you made them this morning that doesn't mean they are fresh you DAB. Some people are just stupid and ignorant. I'll shop at Von's down the street, they never have a problem dropping fresh food in the fryer nor do they complain or make comments when asked nicely.

Larios Market was recommended to me by a wonderful fellow Yelper. You know who you are. Thank you!…read more I wanted to get guacamole, salsa, and chips for a team potluck lunch. I got rave reviews on these items that they are super good at Larios so here I am to confirm. This market is located at the corner of Barranca Ave and Arrow Highway in Covina. It's actually a meat market, but they sell produce and other food/dry items plus hot foods. It's a very small place with maybe 3-4 tight aisles. I went straight to the refrigeration area. I saw lots of different salsas and a handful of guacamole. At first glance, the appearance of the guac did not look appealing to me. It looked brown and kind of watery at the top. I was hesitant to get them, but since they were recommended, I got 3 of them. Now looking back, I should have only gotten one just to try them. It was not that great IMHO. Maybe they were not made that day and have been hanging around for a day or so. However, the roasted red salsa was really really good... I would highly recommend this one. Pico de gallo was decent. Crab ceviche was just okay... too much of the V8 taste. I ended up buying 6 containers and spent over $50 on guac and salsa. Probably more than I need. I didn't bother with the chips as they look more on the oily side. Anyway, staff was nice and helpful. Check out was fast as it wasn't super busy at the time. Parking is limited. They do have a few tables and stools outside in front of the market for those who want to eat here after their food purchase. I'm not sure if I would come back for the guac, but I may come back for the roasted red salsa and possibly their tacos and burritos.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like someone thanking to your parents that way. No response from him and he proceeded to scan the items. Manager or employee shouldn't be speaking to customers with that response or that tone. If you don't have cashiers before you open the store to customers, you shouldn't be opening the doors then. Very unprofessional and urgently require management skills, priority skills when running a supermarket. Star should be a negative

I have had a few negative experiences especially with the service deli and bakery employees. Well yesterday I went in and I saw the self serve bagels that are near the entrance. I wanted to buy a few and noticed there were no bags only the plastic wraps to pick them up. I asked a male employee from the bakery if he had any bags so I could purchase bagels. He quickly said no and continued working and ignored me. Really so disappointed and it really makes customers feel like we are bothering you. What happen to customer service.

The sale items are also misleading if you're not careful. I saw a big sale sign and a number which I thought was the sale price but when I checked out I was told no, that number was how much I saved if I bought the item.

TJs carries their own brand that cannot be found in other stores. Their produce, dairy, bread, meats are primarily organic grown/made. The most sought-after item is their TOTE BAGS! They are made of denim, good for taking your lunch or snacks. It has an outer pocket and different color straps/handle. When they are released, there is a limit of four per customer. Be prepared to wait in line, but do not delay, they are guaranteed to sell out. The employees are the nicest and most friendliest of all grocery stores I have ever been you. It's easy to see they "like" their job and value the customers. You can buy flowers, ready made salads, canned and frozen foods, cookies, ice cream, and greeting cards at a bargain price, etc. The infamous TWO BUCK CHUCK wine is now three dollars, still a good value. On this visit I was pleasantly surprised to see Pumpkin Wine! I chilled it at home, it tastes like spiced cider. They also sell their own brand of Mexican beer, cleverly named Trader Jose (available in Dark or Light brew). It tastes just as good as the competitors. Sincerely, Rosemary
