This butter is legit
Janice A.

Definitely a 2-3 star. Not all employees are helpful. Some are rude and don't make you feel welcomed. Probably not the nicest Costco in the valley. This is the closest Costco to me unfortunately. Great deals. I wish some products they didn't get rid of but they did bring 2 back that I appreciate. Parking is a B even with the disabled parking is always full. Test your patience here when looking for parking space. Needs improvement.

2025/11/11: I came here today to get my membership card since I signed up via Groupon, they have a special for signing up for membership, they will give you a $40 gift card. So I got my photo taken for my membership card, the lady tried really hard to get me to upgrade to their executive level membership It's been a long time since I was last a member so I browsed and look around, tried out the samples. I saw a few things I wanna get next time I visit. This location has a large parking lot but it's always packed. I found out that they now accept visa as payment, they used to accept American Express only.. I also found out that anyone can use their pharmacy without a membership.

1 1/2 minute read: We've been Costco Members for some years now. Always been treated just fine in all departments Some ten days ago I went to get my eyes examined and had Costco Optical department fill my prescription. I was helped by Larissa. I was impressed by her patience with me. It wasn't faked. She came across as very sincere, friendly and she definitely knew what she was doing. I was very very please. Larissa was very professional, helpful & kind. She explained everything I needed to know and did it in such a smooth, reassuring manner. I received my glasses a few days sooner than I expected. Thank you, Larissa and thank you Costco.

Costco warehouse is insane.

I love Costco. But make no mistake about it. The Van Nuys Costco is my favorite of all the Costco's anywhere. I've been to Costco's in Canada. I've been to Costco's in Seattle Washington. I've even been to Costco's in Mexico, but this by far is the friendliest staff with the best merchandise and of course it's real close to my home so I love it. Stop in at the Van Nuys Costco and say hi to Amy. She'll greet you as you leave the store she's a cute little blonde with the yellow pen that marked the receipts.

Egg review only...Who's got the best price on eggs right now? Costco is who. I have four granddaughters, basically a daycare and these girls want eggs every morning so sold out if not something I want to hear. Costco to the rescue! You have to get in line and be there early, but if you want the best deal for your buck and quantity, Costco is for you. I like a lot of other things at Costco but today its about the eggs, and breakfast!

A trip to Costco is always quite the adventure. It's always exciting to see what new products they have and also check out the seasonal displays. You can always find certain products there, but the brands may change from time to time. So if you see a set of dishes you like, BUY THEM! Because that exact set might not be there next time. I also really enjoy to look through the clothing section because sometimes they have really great deals and even cute kids clothes. It's really easy to blow a couple hundred dollars here in one trip. I always buy diapers, wipes, the taco kit (highly recommend), eggs and berries here at the very least. The prices for the organic produce is great, but they don't always have it available. If you need something, Costco probably has it. Folding tables, back massagers, plants, pots, fans, heaters, automotive supplies, dog beds, laundry detergent, a kayak...the list never ends! Costco is always the place to go when you are throwing a party. Drinks and snacks in bulk are great, as well as their premade foods. Their pizza is SO cheap too! They also have good sized cakes and pies available for a good price. Also, I have been gifted jewelry from Costco and it was absolutely stunning and so reasonable priced. I actually replaced my wedding band with a ring from Costco and it's everything I could have ever wanted. Treat someone special to some beautiful and affordable jewels!!! Lots of parking, but you might have to circle a bit depending on the time of day that you go. This costco somehow runs out of carts so fast. A few times I have waited outside for them to round up carts or even found one out in the parking lot myself.

On November 17th, I purchased Advil for $19.99. Upon attempting to return the item, I was issued a refund of $17.00. When I inquired about the discrepancy, I was informed that the reduced refund amount was due to a current promotional sale price for Advil. The short Hispanic male employee didn't accept my return. I was returning $19.99 Advil. He is not educated well enough. Another cashier Yansi A - female didn't know help me at all. COSTCO RETURN policy "Costco will accept returns within 90 days from the date the member received the product; see product page for return instructions".

This Costco has great clearanced items, I've gotten some good deals here. I've been noticing lately that they have a lot of ethnic items you don't see in most costcos which I love!! I've seen Afghan Bolani, Indian Pani Puri and tandoori chicken. Parking it the worst unless you get here super early or towards closing. The gas line moves pretty fast. Hit up the food court after shopping for a slice of pizza or one of their famous hotdogs!

NIce Costco co-Located with a gas station. While the lines were not too bad int he store the parking section was simply nuts. Most of that was related to the geography of the store and where the gas station was. The rest of the store is set up like most. This particular location had a great set of reusable zip-lock bags that we had not nor have seen at other locations. They also had a good selection of wine and spirits. The RULES! 1) NEVER EVER go in hungry. That 25 gallons of dill pickle chips is much easier to resist on a full stomach.... true story there. 2) Avoid the free samples. People seem to lose their minds with this stuff. They abandon carts with crying babies, block isles, etc all to get that tiny portion of hummus. I have been shoved aside by someone desperate to get a free piece of cheese. Honestly I have seen more dignity from actual starving people in a disaster zone but I digress. 3) Avoid the weekends like the plague. 4) See #1 5) Go often. Costco uses alot of psychology and the fear of missing out is one of them. Odd items you must have pop up then go never to return. I CAN'T MISS OUT AGGGGGGG 6) Know your codes: At costco any price ending in 0.97 means it has been marked down. Any price that is not a 0.99 or .97 such as say 0.49 means it has a manufacturers discount. and price with an * aka "The Death Star" on it means its done and will not be reordered so stock up. If it ends in a .00 or a 0.88 a manager has reduced the price at that location to clear it out. 7) When in an unfamiliar city head to the Costco. They always stock local items you can't find at yours (like two pounds of single origin Kona coffee for 30.00 at the Kilaua / Kona store etc.) and have cheap gas. (Same on Kauai)

Hot Dog

Costco is Costco - it's the same experience no matter which location you go to. This one is a little spicier since it's in the good ol' hood of Van Nuys! Parking lot is Thunderdome as everyone drives it like they stole it! You better put a pep in your step and keep it moving until you get to the safety of the inside deathmatch! It's free-for-all walking around and there's no mercy in this dojo! It's quite the obstacle course dodging the elderly, the jerkasaurus customers who needlessly create traffic jams by stopping in the most inconvenient spots, kids trying to escape from their parent's clutches, people trying free samples like they've never eaten or drank anything before, spillage in aisles, people using their carts like battering rams, sad sack entitled brats, etc... You never know what you're gonna run into so limber up - remember movement is life! You can buy most everything you need in bulk to hunker down for weeks/months, visit the optometry section so your eyes don't rot and stuff your face with cheap eats from the food court as you contemplate your life's decisions that led you to spend more than you originally anticipated. Costco is where dreams are made or shattered, strength is forged in fire and a hot dog costs $1.50!

chest of drawers left unassembled
Marnie L.

I am the biggest fan of Costco!! (usually). I cook and do dinner parties, so I value the enormous 'value' of shopping there. I wanted to buy a beautiful chest of drawers for my mom. After realizing it weighed more than 250 lbs, we decided to have it delivered. The delivery was an additional $50, but "installation and box material removal' were included! My mom and I agreed it was the best $50 we would ever spend. The delivery came, and the delivery guy said it was not his job to bring it in, unpack it, install it, or take the box. I told him that was not our understanding and I didn't know how I was going to do it. "As a favor," he opened the box, and the packing material barfed all over the floor; then he said again, "This is not my job' and left. My mom reviewed the contract on the site and spent two hours on the phone trying to get someone to come back and finish the job. They said someone could come back on Monday, FIVE days from the delivery. In those two hours, (while she was trying to get someone to come back), I pulled out a box cutter, filled two black 50lb trash bags, and off-hauled the garbage. The chest of drawers is still sitting on its side with no feet. There is no way I can install and turn over the piece by myself, and my mom is 83 years old and uses a walker. The biggest kick in the teeth of the whole thing (aside from the chest of drawers still sitting in the middle of the room) is that when she called Costco, the Costco agent reached out to the delivery team (the two useless guys who came to the house) and they LIED and said that I REFUSED SERVICE!!! I try not to think people suck, but in these situations. PEOPLE SUCK! We are waiting for someone to come back to the house. Let's see when that happens.

I was just discriminated for no reason without cause no verification.Employee by the name Raed said he was the owner and could deny me food and service stating I didn't scan my card which I asked if he saw the cameras which he then switched up saying I was cussing and I did not I just raised my voice which isn't a crime. Then another employee by the name Josh took my membership card and refused to give it back

Is Costco enforcing having a membership in order to buy from the food court? Just curious since I remember back in March they said they were going to start enforcing this

Yes, they are asking to show cards at the door at this particular location. I'm unsure about the outdoor food courts in Burbank & Woodland Hills.

Least busiest to go shopping?

Tuesday morning.

Can you pump gas 24 hours even when the store is closed?

No. Gas hours are around the same as regular store hrs

Does Costco take food stamp cards (EBT)?

Yes

Do you need an appointment for the eye exams?

No they take walk ins!

Does anybody know what the gas rates are at Costco? I don't see a sign with the prices on them..

We stopped at Costco gas station last weekend, there was only 2 options, gas 87 and 89. I filled up with gas 89 I think it was $3,179 and if I remember correctly gas 87 was… Read more

I was in my home state recently and always plan to return to my local Ralphs…read more Starbucks is inside this Ralphs location. I bought a pass and customer service helped me with my transaction. I find Ralphs has semi small aisles; this Ralphs location has semi wide aisles, which I appreciated. Plenty of parking. The location always has an item I'm looking for. Alcohol selection is good. Bakery is very nice. Pharmacy and even key machine copier is in the store. I can get most of what I want from Ralphs.

This place used to be a gem in the Valley. Now it feels like it's actively trying to make shopping…read moreharder. Aisles--especially around the pharmacy--are routinely blocked or cluttered, so just getting through the store can be a hassle. Then there's the decision to lock up a large portion of the alcohol and spirits. I get the intent, but the execution is terrible. I'm not going to stand around waiting for someone to unlock a $5.99 bottle of triple-sec. Literally. --I'll just leave and buy it somewhere else. Which brings up the obvious problem: there's rarely anyone around to help anyway. If you're going to lock up everyday items, you need staff available. Otherwise, you're just creating friction and losing sales. The store overall feels overcrowded and poorly maintained, which only adds to the frustration. It's a pretty stark decline from what this location used to be. At this point, with Trader Joe's, Pavilions, Whole Foods, Gelson's, BevMo, and Costco all nearby, there's really no reason to deal with the hassle here

I really love this Trader Joe's Sherman Oaks location -- it feels brand new, bright, and very well…read moreorganized. Shopping here is always a enjoyable experience. Parking is super easy and convenient. You just drive up the ramp, go through the gate (it opens automatically), and there's no ticket needed. You even get one hour free, which is a huge plus. There's plenty of parking both underground and at street level in the Citrus Commons complex. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's in general and shop here every week. What makes this store special is the selection -- you can find so many unique products that you won't see in other grocery chains, including a lot of European-style foods. Some of our favorites are eggplant spread, sauerkraut, frozen sweet cheese pancakes (blinchiki), pork dumplings, and many other great items. Prices are reasonable (around average), especially considering the quality and uniqueness of the products. The staff here is incredibly friendly -- honestly, one of the nicest teams I've seen in any grocery store. The atmosphere is always welcoming, clean, and easy to navigate. Another great bonus: there are actually two Trader Joe's stores right across the street from each other on Riverside Drive. This newer location is bigger, brighter, and has even more variety. And if one store is out of something, you can simply check the other -- so convenient! Highly recommend this location -- we're lucky to have it here in Sherman Oaks!

I also did my grocery shopping to get it out the way. It is on the smaller side, now that I spent a little more time in there browsing, but able to get what I was looking for. The aisles are spacious which makes the store appear bigger but it ain't. I did my rounds pretty quickly and it wasn't crowded. Pretty stocked up otherwise. The only downside: the female cashier who checked me out yesterday did not bag items for me (other places they do it automatically) that was odd. She stood there as I bagged them. Haha ironically the cashier behind her had a buddy who was assisting in the bagging process with the cashier(short staffed? Or selective?)

Mom waits in line at customer service, but they are too busy to actually help her. Finally, they took a moment and addressed her. She showed them the loaf, they told her to go exchange it. They didn't refund the cost of the bread or offer a store credit or anything for the inconvenience of driving all the way back to the store. At the bakery, Mom chose a replacement loaf and asked a bakery employee to open it and check to make sure it didn't have a hole. They looked at one slice. She asked them to check the entire loaf since the bad loaf also had a few good slices and they gave her attitude. This is Pavilions' problem. You sold a bad loaf of bread. It was not deliberate. But it is your problem to resolve. So make some attempt at customer service to encourage us to come back to your store. Driving all the way back to the store and waiting in line at customer service and simply getting what we paid for the first time is not resolution. Make an effort. Do better.

Riddle me this...who can walk into Trader Joe's and leave with only 1 item?!…read more I have been coming to this location for decades without ever reviewing it on yelp...How did that happen?! Whenever I shop here I really only need a few things...but then I remember, "hey, I need that, that, and that too!" My wallet shivers now when I park my car...lol The shelves are usually well stocked and the employees always have a smile on their faces ready to assist in any way they can to make your shopping experience here pleasant...(and to get you to spend more $$$$, joking) The parking lot can get tricky during peak hours but be patient...someone will eventually leave so you can park!

This was my first time here at this location and I am a frequent shopper of TJ. We asked if there are any more totes because what was out at the bin is only 1 color. After checking they brought out the rest of the colors and we even helped them arranged the bags on the bin. I was in line to pay and all of a sudden the cashier told me " I remember you, you were here a while ago to buy those tote bags." I told him it's my first time at your store. He then continued saying "no you were here I remember you. I REFUSE TO SELL those tote bags to you. " he was loud and with a sarcastic smile on his face when I insisted that it's my first time and he can checked with the guy that brought out the stock. He still will not believe me so I went to another cashier. I asked his name and I took his picture. I left the store so humiliated and afterwards I went back and complained to the girl in the customer service. I also called the store again and asked for the manager and told them about my experience with NICK. The cashiers name is NICK. NICK I HAVE NEVER FELT SO HUMILIATED IN MY LIFE. YOU SHOULD BE FIRED. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION. The tote bags that I bought will be a gift to a friend. I do not make a business out of the tote I bought. Anyway here is the picture of this guy. This is a guy that should be taught a lesson.
