This is an A-OK supermarket. The location is a bit more urban for the South Bay, and tends to get a tad crowded, but overall the food prices and selection is good. Parking is fairly easy, especially if you're not lazy and are willing to walk a little, not expecting front parking in the lot. We usually go to the Food 4 Less in Hawthorne, but tried this one out. I'll say the the great thing about Food 4 Less is if you're catering a party that you should order: 1) Fried Chicken 2) Pre-Made Sandwiches 3) Fresh Cupcakes (opt for the real whipped cream, not the buttercream topping) It's really a good affordable place to cater your party. read more

Worst place to shop. Cashier was brainless. Called a customer stupid in front on her. Started crying for managers help because she didn't want to deal with it. Jumped to go open another register and left her customers in line. I got shoved by a woman claiming to be next in line even though the cashier had no recollection of leaving her original lane. Beyond infuriating. Disgusted by my shopping experience. read more

A normal Food 4 Less. The staff seems helpful and friendly. They have a good mood. The lighting inside is also pleasant. The prices could be better I think. I also wish they had more vegan options. Grocery Outlet would be better. I also wish they gave a coupon for checking in on Yelp. read more

Good food for less, very enjoyable experience and workers so so kind and friendly and helpful.

THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!! There's only 1 cashier & literally 27 people in line!??? Seriously, at this time of night!? ZERO POINTS!!!

Very very very very very poor service in the cashier...not helping at all..the cashier doesn't care of customers

Customer service was terrible. I went to the express checkout with ONE item. An employee told the customer before me that he was the last one in line. I made eye contact with the cashier to let her know I only one small item--a flavor extract that a friend had been searching, but couldn't find. She refused to check me out. read more

Simple and straight to the point. I purchased fruit on Wednesday 13th 2022. Purchased at the Food 4 Less in Gardena, on Artesia. The actual fruit was, two pineapples which were two for 3.00$, a cantaloupe, and two honey dew melons. Here it is the 17th Sunday and all but my honeydew are rotten and brown and mushy! I knew when I saw the sale sign that said 2for3,something must be wrong! And when I tell you they had a very large table full,and in several places! Food 4 Less you should be ashamed aquiring bad produce problay a penny on a dollar. And passing the bad product on your customers! I will never ever buy meat or produce again from and food 4 less! I cannot express how disappointed I was when I peeled and was ready to cut up my fruit!!! Would have returned them but the 3$ was not worth the gas! And I'm going to also email corporate! read more

Food4Less - A guard that has a problem with food 4 less customers - Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

This store NEVER has enough checkers! Only one checker for regular sized baskets, and 2 for express. Are they saying they just want us to buy 15 items and leave the store? Long lines in each One. Yes, i asked them to open another lane. The bathroom here is deplorable. It's "possible" the floor was mopped sry some point today, but the tile is falling in, there are huge holes in the wall, not a lot of tissue dispensers. And the large stall of the women's bathroom has just a roll sitting on the rail. The food prices are reasonable, and I guess that's why I come here. Lots of selection. But, make sure the price you see actually goes with the product you want. I found lots of items on the shelf in the wrong place, or just taking up space. The price shown is not for that item read more

It smells so bad before you even get into the store smells like somethings dead . Like really what is that smell who wants to buy food after smelling something like that read more

Service here sucks! AnnMarie cashier #3 in a Saturday at 9:45am was rude and just abrupt when cashing me out. Prior to check out I had asked a clerk to assist me with alcohol and he just dismissed me and she witnessed the encounter which was not nice. He laughed and lied about his name . First it was Benjamin then he said Cory. She obviously felt some type of way about it. She mentioned him upsetting me due the encounter. I was not though. I chalked it up to him being young with no customer service training. She however was way older and salty. This place needs to get it together. People of color need to do better. We are already judged then here you come with the stero type of behavior. Do better! read more

Out of the 3 Food 4 Less I shop, this one is my favorite. Last Friday(July 12th) I went to this Food 4 Less. I was in the produce section and one of the items I needed to get was fresh corn on the cob. It was my first time buying fresh corn on the cob(someone else would always buy it). So I didn't know how to buy the fresh corn. It was priced 5 for $3.00( good sale I thought). I got my 5 but I saw the produce man Salvador and asked did I do good in my picking? He shook his head no lol. So he went over to where the corn was and came back to me and said he'd be right back. Asked how many I needed and went on his way to the back. He came back with much better corn that I had in my bag. I appreciate Salvador for going over and beyond. Excellent customer service. Thanks again Salvador and Food 4 Less. read more

Standard American staples that can be a touch cheaper since you bag your own groceries which is a good thing since many of us Americans are starting to feel too entitled. Soo difficult & bothersome to turn off a switch to save energy created by polluting, global warming powerplants which pollute the air we breath. Most foods here are boring, insipid, but a-ok. The one star is for the produce department with its wilted, ready to spoil in in two days lettuce and other greens which look as though they are in the same sad condition. Vegetables have phytochemicals needed for good health, anti-cancer properties, fibre to cleanse the digestive system, etc. And the veggies here at Food for Less seem antithetical to our well being. I only come here since I take a friend shopping for her weekly groceries, but even she doesn't buy vegetables here but goes to Tokyo Central née Marukai for superior greens & produce. read more

YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2017: 16/100 I come here primarily for 2 things: beer and steak. Compared to Albertson's less than a mile away, beer is cheaper by at least $2 and steaks are cheaper by at least $5. I know. I've made price comparisons. Tons of parking, but tons of carts everywhere. (More often than not, I see someone collecting them, but they might want to do it more often during the day.) Never really had issues with the staff. And the place is pretty darn clean overall. US Bank branch inside if you happen to be an account holder. And if you feel like a movie, there's a Redbox on your way out. I still yet to try their deli! Satisfied customer - ME. read more

Food4Less - Beer and steak! - Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

With this Covid 19 virus going around and all of the groceries being in high demand, I expected the store to actually care about the customers health! I walked in to get a gallon of milk and orange juice for my kids, I noticed half of the milk and juice in the fridge were expired since may 23!!!! I asked an employee and she said the manager just wants them to take out produce and fill in the empty gaps! She then brought me milk and juice the the back cooler and said those had just gotten in this morning. When I get home i realized she had given me expired product as well! May 4th was the expiration on the milk!!! Before walking out of this specific store, please make sure to check all your items expiration dates! read more

This food4less location is awesome. Neat, well arranged and well stocked. Unlike most locations I visit they opened plenty of lines to get the customers out faster. Their parking lot was plenty and what I loved the mist is that they had plenty of slots to leave your baskets when you are done shopping. This location was very impressive to me. To be honest I forgot I was shopping in a food4less. Items were very easy to find. Signs were very legible and easy to read. I love that fact too that they are a parking lot away from fast food restaurants so you don't have to go too far to pick up something to eat. Too bad this location isn't very close to me because I would stop by often. read more

They never have what I need, especially in the produce section and there's always a long wait at check out. Unfortunately, I'll have to drive out to another market that's further out. Frustrating! read more

No reason to come here except convenience right at the end of the 91 freeway for post-road trip shopping pit stops, opem till midnight. And maybe the fact that they have a bulk / family-size section with pretty good prices if that's your thing. They used to have good cheesecake by the piece in the deli, now they don't, and their hot deli food like fried chicken always seems old and just isn't good. The rest of the store isn't really "food for less" as prices are average and things in produce and packaged meat often are not fresh. Kind of ghetto atmosphere. read more

So we just moved to Gardena and all I could say is that this Food 4 Less is awesome! I like the one in Carson but it was always packed, at this one it's never packed and there is always parking! I've been to it several times at different times of the day and it's a breeze! It's also super clean and organized. read more

If this Gardena Food 4 Less wasn't so conveniently off the 91 and on my way home from work, you will find me at the Hawthorne Food 4 Less. Things that drive me nutty at this location: - When their ads advertise their chicken thighs to be on sale, I NEVER find any thighs here. NEVERRRRRRRRRR. Only drums! - They only have pre-packaged meat/fish so no butcher/person around to ask for a specific cut. Once they are out, you are SOL. - I find the stocking of essentials a hit or miss. I always walk away with things missing from my grocery list because they've ran out or it hasn't been stocked (especially if it is an advertised sale item). The good: - Nice large parking lot - Staff is friendly - Reasonably priced goods IF they have it in stock! read more

I only come to this Food 4 Less because it's the closest food market to me but I'd rather make the trip to a farther store where they actually force people to wear masks. People come in with no mask and the security nor none of the employees say anything about it. Social distancing like in any place you need to speak up if somebody is too close so that's understandable but cmon AT LEAST ENFORCE A MASK. NO MASK NO ENTRY. This is why the covid cases are high.... do better please. Only good thing about the trips here are that the cashiers are always the nicest and help out a lot with telling customers about offers we might've missed... MANAGER THOUGH GET IT TOGETHER!!! read more

This Food 4 Less is like most of the others. Far from premium shopping, the beets were either too small or too big. The avocados are either too hard or rotten ripe. You can definitely tell why the food here goes for less. On a positive note the average staples are always in stock and the customer service is good! read more

Parking is pretty big but we do have a bit of an issue on sunday night or monday evenings which is expected. Might walk a lilttle but no big deal. My go to grocery store great deals and down the street super convient especially for those sunday bbqs and everyday dinner. read more

Ok, I'm a regular shopper here and really have no complaints....except for today 9/27/19 at about 6:15pm. I was looking for an item and just could not find it...so I asked an employee...."can I ask you a question" this employee, latina girl "I'm on my lunch". Me: "so I can't ask you a question"? She gave me no response so I just walked away. Went found a manager and told him but he didn't really seem to care. I understand she's on her lunch, but she couldn't answer a customers simple question! How rude! Thats the only reason for the one star. read more

Lost my iPhone inside the Food 4 Less, I approached 3 employees and asked for help right away they started helping and a girl named Maya found it!! Thank you so much for caring and helping! Plus lanes to check out move quick that's a big plus read more

This review will be based on 1 person who literally ruined a shopping experience at this store. The name is the cashier is MARISELA I think. Hispanic lady with a face that looks like she hates her job or can be the horrible eyebrows. Regardless I asked her for a couple dollars in quarters and she said, " I got $10" so I told her I'll take the $10. Then she tells me I have to think about it to give it to you. So I ask excuse me you have to think about it and she says yea I'm not going to give it to you. Didn't even ask if I needed a bag and just by her response I literally just wanted to leave. I have never left Food 4 Less in a bad mood. Till I met the lady with I hate life face and eyebrows that make her looked shocked all the time. read more

Food 4 Less is a great place to shop. It has items that you cannot find anywhere else. It's also a bargain grocery store. It's almost a warehouse with huge stock piles of goods. read more

Why would anyone review a Food 4 Less? THIS IS WHY! I cannot complain about the food, the prices and the facility. I CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CASHIER WHO DID NOT SEND MY FOOD ON THE CONVEYOR BELT ALL THE WAY TO WHERE THE BAGS ARE! I HAD TO REACH OVER TO GET THE FOOD WHICH WAS AT MORE THAN ARMS DISTANCE. THE FOOL STILL DID NOT BOTHER TO MOVE THE FOOD FORWARD. WHY DON'T THEY JUST PUT SELF CHECK OUTS HERE. I'M SURE THE CHECK OUT MACHINES WOULD BE MORE HUMAN AND FRIENDLIER AND THOUGHTFUL THAN THE CASHIER.... LAME read more

We do like to buy at Food 4 Less a lot, been customers for years and this review is specifically for the meat department at this store. On Memorial Day we had a get together with our family, planned ahead and when time came we saw that the flap meat (carne asada) was on sale at Food 4 Less, we had bought this kind of meat in the past and never had an issue. We bought about $70 to $75 worth of meat, they had it in containers and looked great but when we tried to putting the seasoning on it we saw that under the first layer there was fat, very thick cuts and hardly a slice we could put on the grill. Our son tried grilling it slowly but it was so thick and so fatty he ended up just putting it aside and went to buy more from another store; we felt cheated, why do they put a nice piece of meat on top and then just garbage? I do understand how important reviews are for a business and do my best to be fair, in this occasion I think is fair to point it out, we trust the store to sell us merchandise that will match their advertisings and this time all we got was a very frustrating experience; hope someone can see this and make sure they teach the people in charge to actually give what they offer. I am a little discouraged to buy this kind of meat again but at the same time wonder if corporate will try and work to improve this so I am not saying not again but will definitely update on future purchases. read more

I started shopping at Food 4 Less again because I was gradually finding other stores to be rather pricey (took me long enough...). It requires driving a bit extra (like... extra 10 minutes) to get here, but it's worth saving tons of $$$ when getting groceries at this place. They definitely have items that I don't normally find at Wal-Mart or Target, so that's a major plus. Overall, it's a very clean place. It can get rather busy after 4:30pm on weekdays, yet there'd only be about 2 lanes opened for checking out. So you'd be standing in a long line with 10-20 other people who also have 20+ items in their cart. Other than that, awesome store for grocery shopping, whether it's a major haul or picking up a few things after work! There's plenty of parking here too, so that's always awesome. It doesn't feel all cramped. read more

for sone reason there is only one register open not sure why have to wait in a long line avoid unless you have time to waste

You can pay by credit card here but the checkers don't bother to ask you for ID or bother checking that the face on your debit/credit card is the same as the one using the card. I've been to this location several times and never once do they bother asking for ID. So if you happen to be into credit card fraud this would be the place for you to come but eventually KARMA with rear it's head! Someone stole my wallet here and charged $121.00 on who knows what here. read more

This place is alright --- things are moving around a lot and the produce section is always organized. However, the lines are always long because they have 1-2 cashiers at most regardless of how busy it is and the cashier I had last night was just AWFUL. Her name was Nancy. She was rude, she wasn't at her register and when I asked, "Is this one open?" she gave me an attitude, "uhhh... yeah. That's why I'm here." (not at the register). When my wife and I started putting our groceries on the conveyor, she didn't even make eye contact, say hello, smile or anything... instead she was on the phone... laughing, chatting it up while completely ignoring me. It was agitating... near the end of the transaction, she finally put the phone down and I told her, "try to smile a bit more... this wasn't a really welcoming experience." and her response, -eye roll- "uhhh...yeah, okay." read more

I drove 17 miles to this which was my favorite grocery store since I moved to this area. This morning, suddenly a very rude man whom I assume to be the manager told me in a non polite way "where is your mask?" When I said I didn't have one he yelled "you can't come in". I looked at their website for the hours and saw nothing about the mask requirement. I see that in the worst of times the worst comes out in the worst people. Some when they get a small bit of power, it balloons to their head and immediately they become tyrant rulers of a flourescent lighted "kingdom". It wasn't being told I could not come in, but the way in which he said it. He yelled so as to let everyone know the boss has given an order. I simply replied "thank you" and left. And this person walked out after me to tell the gentleman handing out sanitizer wipes , "If they don't have a mask, don't let them come in!". Again yelling. I had already had an unpleasant online shopping experience with this store. Thankfully Albertsons is across the street. They are a lot more professional. read more

This Food 4 Less is always out of stock, I believe the manager takes cases or pallets and have their truck delivered to his house and his relatives, house too. They never have what they should have in stock, they need a new manager, IMMEDIATELY!!! read more

I often go to the Gardena Food4 less and I am impressed by the willingness of the staff to stop what they are doing and help me find what I am looking for (particularly Jana) but often the butchers department staff go unnoticed with one exception a jovial character by the name Daniel! Daniel is the guy I seek out when I want advice about which cut of beef to BBQ! Daniel is the guy who will stop what he is doing and search for an item that is not on display!So kudos to Daniel he is an asset to your company a rare gem! Regards Alexander WILLIAMS I visited Daniel in the meat department of the Gardena Food4Less to ask his advice on some steaks for grilling on the BBQ last week! He advised me to get some Porterhouse steaks he was offering! I did and boy am I glad I did so,they were tender, melt in your mouth delicious!Thanks to Daniel my dinner was a success! read more

Plenty of parking and good location. After reading the reviews I didn't expect good service and therefore didn't go in with high expectations and I went in and got out. Jennie-o ground turkey are a couple dollars cheaper vs ralphs, vons, and even Walmart. I'll definitely come back for when I need to cook for a potluck and don't want to burn a hole in my pocket. read more

This location is much easier to get to than the one on Cherry. The security guards here say hello, and it's cleaner too. Food prices are fairly reasonable. There aren't many things that I can't find. And I normally can spot someone if I need help. I do not like the fact that they don't have paper towels in the meat department. Most of the time the meat has blood or a film on it. I washed my hands before leaving, but I hate having to tough other groceries with dirty hands. That's how germs spread. read more
