    Their tinned fish section is amazing! There were so many options. I didn't know what to get. The grocer helped me choose and I'm excited to try them! I think I went into a fugue state because when I left, I had over $200 in gourmet items! I picked up some amazing cheeses, meats, tinned fish, olive oil, and French butter. They also had my favorite olive oil. I bought 2 bottles. They were smaller bottles than what I would normally purchase, but per ounce it was still less expensive than my usual 750ml one. Saving money on my favorite consumables is a total score in my book! I will definitely be going again, but maybe I will have to put myself on a budget. The whole experience was wonderful!

    Hot DAYUM look at this Tea selection!

    For food lovers like myself, there's no better place to discover true epicurean delights. From butters, pastries, and artisan breads to sardines, olive oils, cheeses, and caviar--this shop has everything you need to create an unforgettable dinner party or a beautifully curated gourmet picnic. I've been coming here for years, and it has long been a staple for me, and many others, especially during the holidays. It's one of those special places you return to again and again because you know you'll always find something exceptional. The service is consistently helpful, and the prices are exactly what you'd expect for thoughtfully sourced, imported items from afar. Respectfully reviewed.

    Great selection of canned products, with a vast selection of just about everything under the sun! We picked some nice caviar and all the fixings, made for a delicious afternoon treat. Not something I have the budget for weekly, but a nice treat.

    Where has this place been my whole life?! We walked in hunting mizithra cheese (didn't have it today), and ended up wandering around like kids in a candy store except the candy is artisan cured meats, cheeses from around the globe, mustards, vinegars, olive oils, sauces, and all kinds of gourmet goodies. They literally stock over 2,500 items from Europe and beyond, with new arrivals showing up every week. The employee was super helpful and suggested a La Tur cheese from Caseificio dell'Alta Langa, (he said it's similar to triple cream Brie) and one of their French baguettes (baked in Montréal and shipped in frozen, how awesome is that???!!!!! ). We also grabbed a pistachio mortadella on a whim. Back home, we threw together a quick charcuterie board and let me tell you, that baguette was insane. 7 minutes in the air fryer at 350F and out came what might honestly be the best baguette I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, pillowy soft inside, paired with that La Tur (which I normally don't even like Brie-like cheese) and boom: total foodie epiphany. This place really is a food lover's playground. Whether you're stocking up for a special board or just want to explore weird and wonderful flavors you can't find at the usual grocery store, it's worth a stop. Honestly already plotting my next haul. Highly recommend dropping by if you're into good food and great finds.

    Butter!!!

    I've been supporting this business for about two years now, spreading the word, and commuting quite a ways to get my preferred bread baking flour..... HOWEVER, with time, I found expired or near expired ingredients on the shelves and not the reaction I expected when I brought it to their attention. Even with all the social media hype, it seems that certain products are not moving off the shelves quickly enough. They agreed to special order certain varieties of flour for me but I had to persistently follow-up; the level of customer service promised or implied isn't what I experienced. This is a great little warehouse with lots of goodies, and I'll continue to pop in when I'm in the area, but I feel they fell short in aligning with the type of customer and home chef/baker who values freshness and quality.

    What a hidden gem! I've heard about this spot for a while and didn't really know what to expect. It's in a warehouse type building, so there's not much signage. It's pretty bare bones inside, but there are shelves and shelves of AMAZING products you can't find anywhere else. I did like two solid laps in the store before actually shopping because I was in awe of what they had to offer. An employee came over and asked if I needed help and honestly, I didn't really know what I was looking for, but I told her I was interested in some sort of Italian chocolate treat. She picked out these cookies for me that I think have changed my life. I would upload a picture but the bag may or may not have already been fully consumed. They are called Pan di Selle! They've got pastas, sauces, candies, butters, jams, and sardines galore! They also have baking supplies for making bread for any sourdough people out there! I ended up getting the bag of cookies, a bag of pasta and a little jar of pesto. I can't wait to cook them up! I definitely think this would be a fun place to shop for the foodie in your life. Prices are not too bad, depending on the item. I can't wait to come back to do some holiday shopping! The inside of the store is very spacious which makes for a pleasant shopping experience.

    Wonderful grocery store with a huge selection! They carry brands and items that are hard to find elsewhere. Don't pass up under frozen baguettes and croissants, they are imported and absolutely delicious! I always stock up on their pasta, sauces, and meats in the freezer, as well of their cans of tuna and sardines! Prices are high, but considering the novelty of the items and the quality it is worth the splurge! Plenty of free and easy parking and the staff was also very friendly and helpful, highly recommended if you are looking to cook a special meal!

    A plethora of goods!
    Lilian F.

    A fun little shop with unique, curated items that you may not find in your average grocery store! It's accessible through a pretty empty side lot with plenty of parking. There was a decent amount of foot traffic inside and we had no issues with parking. Once inside, it feels like you are inside a large warehouse with racks and tables of curated goods. You can expect to find goods ranging from all your specialty charcuterie needs (multiples fridges against one wall with lots of cheeses, pate, meats as well as olives, crackers, jams) to items that you may want to experiment with in your home kitchen. They have a wide selection of dried pasta shapes, olive oils and even a selection of jars of duck fat, beef tallow, butters. If you're just looking for some fun snacks, they have things ranging from imported shortbread crackers to foie gras chips. They also have a selection of some Asian goodies -- but other than maybe some special shoyu you can probably get these elsewhere in a grocery store within the price mark up. Only giving it one less star because for the average consumer things might be on the pricier side but great place to explore for special occasions, gifts, or if you just want to be a bit experimental with your cooking/food! Definitely stop by if you love a good charcuterie spread!

    Located in an industrial strip building at the unnoticeable corner of Lankershim and Sherman Way, this spot is a hidden gem in the Valley. With imported and specialty food ingredients not readily found in mainstream grocery stores, I shop here for all of my favorite European staples: butter, croissants, pasta, chips, crackers, chocolates, and even seasonal items like fresh truffle. These items are not only elevated in quality, but also taste. While some of their products can be found in other specialty shops, Epicurus Gourmet offers everything under one roof and often at slightly better prices. The staff is also very helpful and will guide you in locating items throughout this spacious warehouse market. If you like traveling for not just sightseeing but also for the food, shopping here feels like a little culinary trip. My meals definitely tast better with ingredients purchased at Epicurous Gourmet.

    Stopped here for the first time after seeing it on my feed on IG. They had stuff from all over which was so great walk through. The employees there were very knowledgeable and super friendly. I got some butter, squid ink pasta and a baguette made in France! I can't wait to try all my exported items.

    Someone say Sardines?
    Arpy L.

    The largest collection of Sardines from all over the world, each more interesting than the next. Got a bunch from Spain and my favorite was the curry one - do not sleep on that Sari wearing Sardine. And there's also the French one that they'll suggest you sear a little. I mean they had other things, butters and cheeses and sweets. I was there for my savory moment and it delivered. Also, the owners/employees are a delight you can literally walk in there clueless and they'll share some stories and insight and you'll leave with something you'll love. Just stop reading this and go okay. It's an experience.

There's also fresh seafood for purchase by the pound. The last time I was here I bought the freshest Prince Edward Island mussels for just $10/lb. You hear that, overpriced McCall's? You could also order the succulent lobster roll at $35 (worth every penny) but we come for Nori Nights, every Thursday to Saturday, with two seatings a night to enjoy moreish handrolls with luxurious fillings like caviar and sea urchin. The ambience of the "hidden" restaurant is inviting and lush, with vintage charm and whimsy, like a posh speakeasy.

The owner is incredibly sweet, and her son is the chef. You can really feel the care and pride they put into the food, and it shows in every bite. I love the variety they offer as a deli, and everything I have tried so far has been delicious. On top of that, the value is unbeatable. You are getting two incredible lobster rolls for the price you would normally pay for one elsewhere. I can absolutely see myself coming back more and more, and I cannot wait to try more items on the menu.

Service was satisfactory. Fish was very fresh and tasty. I would come again to try the restaurant and their other fish products I missed. So this place is a choose your own adventure (handrolls, fish shop, cafe), built out in this tetris sort of layout. Upon entry you have some high chair seating and the cafe straight to the back. Along the other side is some window seating followed with the fish shop on against the last wall. Overall its pretty small so seating is limited. So much so I was indirectly informed to move from the window seating after sitting there with my bev and bread because that was for the handroll section. So I promptly went outside. Ordered: Iced Chai Latte: 5/5 - Excellent Chai. Best I've had in a minute Banana Bread: 5/5 - Recommended to me by the server. Sigh, reminded me of those good ol covid days. Very good banana bread. BBQ Fish: 4/5 So fun fact - on sundays whatever you buy from the fish shop they'll bbq it for you, pretty cool right? While the prices are a little steep, most of it is by weight so my selected fish actually was only $6. When we do the bbq option you get a little slaw to go with it. I asked the guy to give me a relatively affordable but good option and now I don't remember what it was I know. But it WAS good. It was light, a little citrusy, and surprisingly meaty? If I closed my eyes and did a blind test you could've had me fooled for red meat. If you don't like bones and all I would suggest something else. Now I have to say as soon as I ordered that one of the girls who worked there was on her off day and ordered a salmon burger, and apparently that's off the menu and isn't every week! I felt bamboozled, the fish guy did me wrong haha. With that said, if you can be here for that it seems well worth it, the grill man was mostly cooking patties and I asked one party how was it and they said it was delicious, really packed too, that burger was thick! Now there is some outdoor seating (3) but between the handrolls in the back and the bbq in the front it could be hard to find a place to sit. I got there around 12 Sunday and a few things I wanted were already sold out so I'd say make it earlier or order ahead if you can. All in all this place has been on my list for a few years now and I'm glad I finally went. I enjoyed what I experienced so far but I'm willing to go back to get the full nine yards.
