    This is a great Ralph store location to visit if you're in the area. Before I wouldn't come to this…read moreRalph location because I prefer another one but since I go to the plaza this grocery store is in a lot now, it's just convenient to stop by here if I need something. There a lot of parking spots here so you shouldn't have any issues and there are other stores here as well if you need other things. This Ralph store has self checkout station and also regular cashier line as well. Be aware that there no butcher for the meat, it's mainly seafood so all the meat are already prepackaged. The produce area is on the right side of the store and the soda are toward the left side where the bakery is as well. When I come to this grocery store, they usually have security at the entrance. It's nicely organized inside and sometime they do some nice decorations with certain items.

They have a variety selection of snacks, sodas, and dairy products. In the morning usually the bakery items are out of stock. They don't have that many options to grab and go. As they are stoking the shelves. They have a variety of plants and flowers by the exit. They have reasonable prices for flower bouquets. For the customer service no complaints. In the morning usually is self check out only. If you purchase alcohol, one of the employees will help you with the transaction. Parking in the morning is awesome . There are plenty of spots to park, but I the afternoon it can be tricky. Overall, a great grocery location. I can find everything on my shopping list.

    I had a frustrating experience at this Ralphs location today. I was using self-checkout and…read moresearched broccoli crowns that was clearly labeled "broccoli crowns" for $1.49. When I selected that option, it rang up as $2.49 instead. I called over the attendant to fix it, since you obviously need an employee to delete or correct an item. I explained the situation, and he looked at me like I was asking him to do something outrageous. He even looked at my friend to say, "Is she really asking me?" It was honestly uncomfortable and unnecessary. Who else would I ask.. All I needed was help correcting a pricing error. It was Sunday around 3 PM and the store wasn't even busy, so I don't understand the rude attitude. If you're assigned to self-checkout, assisting customers with issues is literally part of the job. Customer service makes a difference, even during small interactions. This one just left a bad impression.

    This store has greatly improved. This place was so bad for a moment when I started coming here…read moreagain almost 3 years ago now. But what has changed is the rude staff are all gone (in my experience), everyone who is there now is friendly or at least neutral to me. Better than rude or awful. The speed at which checkout moves is fast or at least acceptable now. It used to be extremely slow, but it's greatly improved. You also used to close the self check out relatively early which now I notice you do NOT, which I am VERY appreciative of. Frankly I just can do it much faster than anyone and I prefer it to get in and out quickly, so thank you for keeping it in place and open later than you used to, that keeps the human cashier lines manageable. I'll buy wine so that's why I may need the human to help me out. But nothing more annoying to me than it being 10pm and there's 1 mile long line with full carts and all I need is 2-3 things, well that experience pretty much doesn't happen anymore which is very much appreciated. I find your evening staff to be notably most friendly, they're talkative but not obnoxious or slow and I feel comfortable coming through the line if I have to. There's a couple annoying things, like a few annoyingly narrow spots you have in extremely busy areas, I can't figure out why you have so much stuff directly in front of the cereal + chips aisle. People cannot pass through there easily, every single time I come here I bump into someone, like easily a 99% success rate that I'm going to crash into someone. That's not good. Same goes for too much stuff down the middle of the cheese/deli meat section near the bank, makes passing nearly impossible at times, then again near the self checkout you always have a lot of liquor which makes passing difficult. Customers don't like having to pretend it's a stop sign intersection to pass by, we just want to shop not have an island of liquor impeding progress. Another thing that bugs me is this is the only Ralph's that doesn't put clearance tags on the frozen food section stuff. Why? I've gotten mixed answers. One guy told me it's because the tags don't stay on because the packaging is wet from the freezer, well that's BS because other Ralph's stores do it just fine and the stickers aren't coming off. But another time I saw a guy at the self checkout take something from a woman who said she didn't want it anymore, so he went directly to the clearance door and just chucked it in there. So basically he didn't have time or care to find the true location (fair, he's working self checkout not restock) and so it ends up in the clearance spot, when it's not actually priced as so. Which makes people just buy it because they think it so on sale when it's not! A third time, I asked how to even know what the clearance price is? The guy told me "you find out it at the register". Well I want to know now, not when you ambush me into it and then we find out it's not on discount and you just throw it back into the discount section to repeat the cycle. Isn't that insane? Ultimately though the 2 gripes aren't going to keep me out of here anytime soon, I just thought it may be worth explaining.

Driving to the store is easy as well as finding a parking space. Plenty of blue placard spaces and I like that.

For food, I would say this store is very cheap compared to other grocery stores. Produce is way cheaper than other stores in the area. Deli department can be a headache since some people cut the line and don't wait for their turn , even though, getting a number and waiting in line is required. If you are interested in buying international and domestic beer, wines, and liquor, this store has a huge selection of alcoholic beverages. For ambiance, I would say this store has improved. It is way cleaner than it used to be. Employees are constantly cleaning and mopping the store which is a plus. Be careful of the carts when walking around in this store. Parking is easy. This store has a big parking lot in the front and on the side.

It has a great selection, it's clean, and the employees have always been friendly. I also appreciate that this store values inclusivity and gives meaningful employment opportunities to people who might not always be given the chance elsewhere. The only thing that has been a bit of a hassle has been renting their rug cleaners. The wait is often long (been stuck waiting for assistance for more than 30 mins on multiple occasions). I was also given a faulty rug cleaner that I had to come back and have replaced, which was kind of annoying to have to lug it back to the store and then once again wait to get a properly working one. But, all that aside, this continues to be my favorite store.

Whenever I happen to be in the NoHo area and need to do some grocery shopping, I would like to visit this particular Ralphs! I happened to be in the area on 5/22/2025 and needed to buy my son couple of birthday gift cards and do very light shopping. I got what I needed and my cashier was pleasant, kind, professional and helpful. I believe his name was Justin: cashier #10 at the time when I was at the store. He quickly checked me out around 6:45pm and I left. Got everything I needed. Since I have done grocery shopping at this particular Ralphs many times in the past, I can say that this is by far my favorite Ralphs in every way. It is not too big, nor is it small. Easy to navigate your way around. Everything that they have is quality, fresh, affordable prices and fully stocked. Employees are very helpful, professional and kind. Nice ambiance, SUPER CLEAN and the music that they are playing which I believe is 80's music makes my shopping experience 10 times better and enjoyable:-)) Plenty of parking spaces and it is in a BIG shopping center with so many other businesses. Keep up the good work employees, management at Ralphs and always be CONSISTENT!!

I'm still confused why someone is working in the bakery if they don't have the skills to handle a simple cake request. I called again the next morning at 8:15, spoke with a woman, explained exactly what I wanted, and left a note with my contact info and what the cake should say. I was told it would be ready after 4 PM. I arrived at 4 only to find my note sitting on the cake with absolutely no decoration done. Then I was told I could write on it myself. I literally had to go behind the counter and do it myself. For all that inconvenience, I got $5 off. Completely unprofessional and a waste of time. Don't promise bakery services you can't deliver.

The best part of the visit was meeting the owner. He was enthusiastic and extremely informative! He told us that everything in the store was sampled and scrutinized for taste and quality. He knew everything about the products and why they were sourced. He helped me find a delicious arbequina olive oil from Italy and tins of sardines packed it butter. Swoon. By the end of our visit my basket was full! While the items here are pricey I truly think that the quality is worth it. Parking is plentiful and conveniently located just outside.

A vast Disneyland of tinned fish, butters, pastas, meats, chocolate, spices, so so much more. Honestly, for anyone passionate about food and cooking, it may make you cry visiting this spot. Perfection. Go. Many thanks to Eric and the entire staff for making our first visit with you wildly memorable and deeply enjoyable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Soooooooooo glad you are nearby!
