Walmart has completed what they call "The New Walmart," and honestly, the experience feels worse…read morethan ever. I didn't stop shopping at Walmart because of one bad trip, I stopped because the experience slowly became worse every single time I went. I've shopped at Walmart for years, so this review comes from long experience, and a noticeable decline over time. During the remodel they added thousands of new products, packed in more shelving, and narrowed the aisles to the point where two shopping carts can barely pass. Finding anything has become a frustrating scavenger hunt. Yes, they have an app -- but it's slow, inconsistent, and not much help when you're already standing in a crowded aisle. Product selection has also gotten worse. Items that used to come in small, medium, and large now often skip the medium size entirely. If that's what you need, you're simply out of luck. Quality control has also slipped badly. I regularly see bread on shelves past the pull date, loaves with partially open wrappers that are already dried out, and yogurt singles stuffed into cartons where only the outside package shows a date -- leaving you guessing how old the product inside actually is. The meat department has become especially disappointing. Cuts are loaded with gristle and fat, and the quality is far below what I expect from a major grocery retailer. The bakery is overloaded with products -- so much inventory that it's hard to believe everything can possibly stay fresh long enough to sell. Produce is another problem. Fruits and vegetables are often limp, bruised, or slimy. Carrots bend easily instead of snapping fresh. Bananas are frequently overripe. Grapes and berries often contain spoiled pieces that ruin the entire package. The final straw came this weekend. After spending more than two hours shopping with two full carts, we ended up with a very inexperienced cashier who stacked heavy canned goods on top of soft fruit and mixed raw meats with produce. Then everything was packed into thin paper bags that tear if they hold more than a few pounds. By the time we got home, several bags ripped open while unloading, scattering groceries everywhere -- including a broken jar of jelly. Delivery has been just as frustrating. Orders arrive on time -- but at the wrong house. Customer service told us to check with neighbors and retrieve the delivery ourselves. One time that meant hauling multiple heavy cases of water back home. The response we got was simply to remove the tip and end the call. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once. At this point, we've already stopped buying meat at Walmart, and we're close to ending our regular grocery shopping there altogether. The "New Walmart" may be their vision of improvement, but for us it has meant lower quality, more frustration, and a much worse shopping experience. What's disappointing is that none of these issues alone would have driven us away. It's the steady accumulation of small frustrations -- declining quality, harder shopping conditions, and weaker customer service -- that finally changed our habits. We didn't set out to stop shopping at Walmart; we simply realized one day that the experience no longer felt worth it.

I was amazed because it was something that could have easily been stolen. I showed up later to pick it up and they were so nice. I have nothing but good things to say about this store.

That was an immediate red flag to me. When I asked how returns would be handled without a receipt, she said I could take a picture of the register screen. It seems unethical to operate like this. Can no one go get some paper? Seems very disorganized and unprofessional. Besides that, I usually enjoy shopping here. Just avoid the apples in bags-- they're always so banged up.

The plate comes with rice, kimchi, and bean sprouts. It's all made to order so it can be a wait. It took about 30 minutes for 8 plates which isn't bad. The lady working there is super friendly. I got a chicken and beef mix. The beef is subtly sweet but very flavorful. The chicken is juicy. Pork is fatty and most in our group said it was their favorite. Kimchi is out of this world and the bean sprouts are nice and crunchy. To me this is a great gem in ridgecrest!

They're not specific to any particular nationality as I was seeing implements for making Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean food. Most things were canned, but there was fresh produce in the back, fish and meat in the freezers, and the occasional pieces of statuary or vases that were for sale. Seems like a nice, family-owned market carrying Asian comfort foods you can find at the Albertson's or Stater Brothers along China Lake.
