Big Square is my favorite market for bread and flowers! If…read moreyou love traditional Puri bread, this is the place! Made with quality flour and baked fresh hourly, they are usually served hot from the oven, and I can't resist eating 1/4 of it before I get home. The fresh cut flowers and plants welcome you into this Armenian market, with tall, vibrant roses unlike those found at most florists. Big Square also offers a solid selection of produce, meats, pastres, alcohol, and other goods. Specialty items like Armenian coffee, unique condiments, and hard to find deli products are always available. For meat products, they have frozen quail, which is usually difficult to find... however, I have never been a fan of their other meat items. The one time I purchased shank and liver, it wasn't as fresh and of quality I anticipated. Parking can at times be difficult and drivers are a bit aggressive. I suggest shopping here during slow hours vs. peak times.

Greens were not fully dried either prior to cooking so that resulted in just water pouring out with spicy seasoning. What was supposed to be a treat went in to trash in 2 seconds. At $6 / each it should at least have properly chopped greens. The line at the bakery area is ALWAYS an absolute chaos if you don't speak Armenian you are not a priority.

My go-to used to be the La Canada Flintridge store, but when I saw this huge Ralphs, I knew I've found a better store. Mind you, La Canada has a high-end meats on sale, but overall, I'm impressed with the organization and size of the store. It's just a few miles further west, but worth the drive.

My one-star review is mainly directed at management, specifically a manager named Ana. My family…read moreand I have shopped at this store for years and have spent thousands of dollars here, as I'm sure many other local residents have. This is also the busiest store in the area, so professionalism really matters. Unfortunately, I've witnessed repeated behavior from this manager that is completely unacceptable. I've seen her yell at middle school-aged kids at the front of the store, right outside the Ralphs entrance, with no self-control and no professionalism. I've also seen her belittle employees--speaking to them as if they were toddlers rather than adults--and I once saw an employee sitting outside almost in tears due to how they were treated or accused. On another occasion, she was yelling at a mentally ill individual outside the entrance, which again was highly unprofessional. Employees also seem genuinely afraid to speak up or push back against her behavior. From what I've observed, she appears to abuse her position of authority and manipulate situations in her favor, creating a work environment where staff feel intimidated rather than supported. She regularly accuses people of shoplifting without clear proof, often based solely on her own assumptions. Her attitude is extremely condescending, and she seems to pick and choose which customers she feels deserve customer service. That is not how a manager should behave. What's most frustrating is that when concerns are brought to other managers, they appear dismissive and brush them off, as if management simply protects one another regardless of behavior. This creates the impression that there are no consequences. Some of the Employees at this Store are Great and consistently provide excellent customer service and professionalism. That is the standard all managers should be held to. Sadly, this particular manager is a liability to Ralphs, and it's disappointing that the company doesn't seem to recognize it.

I've been a customer of this incredible Armenian supermarket in Glendale, California, for years and…read moreI can't say enough good things! They bring a vibrant mix of Armenian, Iranian, and Mediterranean flavors under one roof. Every time I visit, it feels like a little taste of home especially the candy section. It instantly reminds me of my grandma's treats, just nostalgic and delightful! Their meat section is also a standout; the mortadella cold cut and sausages are exceptional so professional and rich in flavor, it's a must-try. Beyond that, they have a wonderful array of Persian snacks, cookies, and a wide selection of fresh produce. I'm always so happy shopping here; it's clean, well-stocked, and the staff are super friendly. There are always plenty of employees, so it never feels chaotic. The only small downside is that some of the refrigerated foods are a little pricey, but considering the quality, it's a fair trade-off. Plus, you can order hot foods to go! they grill up delicious meats right on site. Parking is at the back, which is super convenient, even if the front lot is a bit tight. Overall, this is a gem in Glendale, and I highly recommend it!

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.

Blink and you'll miss it but if you stop, you'll probably come back…read more This place feels like a true neighborhood staple: part deli, part international market, part "what did I just discover?" The kind of spot where everything looks a little unpolished, but that's exactly why it works. The marinated meats are the standout trays packed with seasoned cuts that look ready to go straight onto a grill. Same with the prepared fish, which looked fresh and heavily herbed. It's very much a "trust the process" situation here. Inside, you've got shelves of imported cheeses, spreads, and pantry items, plus a surprisingly solid produce section. Not huge, but fresh and well-priced. Service is efficient more functional than friendly but they'll point you in the right direction if you ask.

It wasn't busy, parking is limited as mentioned by others, but was plentiful on a Saturday afternoon. We bought other vegetable items. They too were delicious.

The meat was so tender that it was immediately absorbed into my bloodstream! The bread was just barely toasted; perfect IMO. The other ingredients were complimentary players. The place itself is almost barn-like and there is an endless supply of potato chips and not much else. There are a couple of tables outside, but it wouldn't be adequate for a large group of people.

They seriously looked at me and said one of their employees complained about me. He told them I touched him and he didn't like that. The shock ran through my body. What? I may have tapped him and smiled saying Merry Christmas to him. I am a 72 year old woman who is very friendly to people and was shocked at this. Why didn't they just tell him to stand up for himself rather than chastising me for being friendly? I am from Canada living in LA and I see people are less friendly in CA, especially in Glendale. I am a retired social worker of 26 years and would never be inappropriate but suppose I understand. I'll just say I spent a few days feeling shamed like a child and was unable to return for a month until I came to acceptance that this was handled very badly. At least I feel it was. As a result I have to monitor my every move and squelch any natural inclination to just be real. Wow. Still feeling the sting. To the managers who approached me, shame on you.

The owner is very humble and truly cares about both his customers and his team. He makes sure his staff are happy, and when people are happy at their jobs, it naturally creates a wonderful experience for customers as well. Thank you for the great service, and cheers to many more happy shoppers!

Their produce department was organized and everything looked fresh. The selection on freshly baked bread and lavash was amazing as well. The deli was full of cold cuts and more. Overall a wonderful market to shop at. Great quality and customer service. I will be back. Also they had the most funny greeting cards for birthday and wedding. lol

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.

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.
