    Just came home from this market. First time I've been there. After getting home, I weighed a tri-tip that I had purchased because it looked rather small. Turns out it was . They charged me for 2.66lbs, Was only 2.10lbs, over half a pound short. I recommend checking and weighing anything you purchased from this place.

    One of the best Armenian/Russian grocery stores. They have everything you need from groceries, to produce, bakery and flower shop. Amazing place, workers are just so friendly and professional, and very helpful. I actually drive to Glendale to come to this store to get my bread and meat. Meat for all sort of occasions, bbq, ground meat, also ready to eat food, pelmeni, russian dumplings, salads. Just wonderful selection. Highly recommend, visit if you are in area..

    Outside dock with drinks stored I. The sun over a 2 day period observed.

    What happened to the Korean market? We already have plenty of Armenian varieties here in Glendale?

    Search Korean Market in Korea Town on the Yelp! App to find the nearest Korean Market.

    Do they have shakitari noodles here?

    If you're asking about shirataki noodles, I didn't see them when I went. Ralphs has them though, although it's the Americanized name brand; so no more housefood, jayone, or other Korean brands

    I have personally been a customer of this store for years, almost every day, and I have never…read moreencountered or noticed any disrespect towards customers. On the contrary, the service has always been high, even better than in many other stores. As for the manager Lilit, I can only speak positively about her. From my personal experience of communicating with her, I can say that she has a high level of professionalism, and it is unacceptable to offend someone on a personal level. I have personally seen her benevolent approach to each customer. Although problems can arise in any store, this is not a sufficient reason to offend or treat a person disrespectfully. As for the general level of the store, I can confidently say that it maintains very high standards.

    I've been coming to Golden Market for over 25 years, and I truly miss the days of the previous…read moreowners, Soorik and Ofelia. The level of care and customer service back then was completely different. Recently, I had a very disappointing experience with the current manager, Lilit. I returned chicken that was clearly uncooked--not for a refund, but simply to make them aware so it wouldn't happen again. Instead of handling it professionally, she became defensive, raised her voice, and insisted the chicken was cooked, essentially accusing me of lying. As a long-time loyal customer, that was very upsetting. I was respectful, but the way I was treated was rude and dismissive. This is not the kind of service Golden Market used to be known for. Because of this experience, I highly discourage anyone from going there. I will not be returning, and I will not recommend it to my family or friends. I truly hope management takes this seriously and brings back the level of respect and customer care that Soorik and Ofelia once provided. Btw I Think she needs to know that she is just a manager at local grocery store and she is super uneducated and low class.

    SHOUT OUT TO ARSHO FOR PROVIDING TYPICAL AMAZING CHECKOUT SERVICE!…read more I visited the store on the morning of July 27 2026. I live in a Trader Joe's dead zone, so I often visit any location that coincides with my errands. ARSHO showed me merchandise she assumed I would like based on something she saw me carrying. Arsho caught a missing produce item from one of my packaged item. She was pleasant and did her job well. She represents what we come to expect from our Trader Joe's employees, she lives up to the quality and great service we are spoiled by. Arsho if you are reading this, I hope I spelled your name correctly. ;)

This particular Trader Joes is in the heart of Glendale. It is shared with Coffee Bean, and Walgreens. I only go to this particular TJ whenever I have a dentist appointment. Well, on 5/28/26 at 4pm I walked in to this TJ to buy few items to take with me on my mini trip. They were: one gallon of water, 4 bananas, ready made/cut watermelon, 2 Sparkling waters (Tangerine flavor), and large bottles of Pellegrino. I didn't notice that the date on the cut watermelon was expired. When I got to my hotel and wanted something sweet and cold, I opened the container and it was all smelly, not crisp, and watery. Parking was very crowded and had to circulate like 4 times until I found a space. Laura checked me out and she was quick and fast. Even exchanged 2 sentences with me. Store was nice and clean, and everybody was very helpful. Love Trader Joes very much. Please check your refrigerated items along with the expiration dates. After taking like 6 bites of the cut watermelon, as much as I HATE to waste food, I had to throw the rest away. That's not going to stop me from shopping at any one of their locations..

Every time I…read morevisit, the store is immaculately clean, there is plenty of parking, and I have never once had to wait in a long checkout line. The meat counter, pre-packaged sections, and deli offer by far the best selections in the area. The deli is where I visit most frequently, and it is truly a standout department. One of the associates there--I believe her name is Gloria--is by far the friendliest and most caring worker I have ever encountered. She makes an effort to remember your name and treats every interaction with genuine care. When she is busy working on an order, she will politely tell others, "I am helping my customer." That level of pride and personal ownership is incredibly rare these days, and she deserves highest praise. This store has a fantastic team, and Gloria makes every visit a wonderful experience!

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the delicious smell of baked goods the permeated the air. The second thing I noticed was how pristine everything seemed to be. The displays were all lovely. For the most part, you'll find the same items that you see at chain supermarkets, except the prices here are a bit higher but not as outrageous as Erewhon. I ended up paying $3 for a grapefruit. Ouch! Renaud's Bakery is on site, and you can get freshly baked Wolfgang Puck Pizzas. There is also a deli counter, butcher, & fresh seafood too. The lady at the register was genuinely nice. *Private parking lot.
