For a certain type of person, one who likes to cook and who has a dull child's understanding of…read morepersonal discipline and responsibility, a store like Chef City is the kitchen supply equivalent of a cocaine emporium, where the offerings are enticing, expensive, addictive, and ultimately, unable to permanently satisfy one's urge. It's me. I'm that person. And that's why I've shopped at Chef City for years. Chef City has been there for me when I needed a good knife; a deep-fryer; a set of mixing bowls; and an 80-quart stock pot with a basket, for boiling crawfish. But "need" has played a very small part in my relationship with the place. Just as no one needs cocaine, I don't need most of the very cool stuff that Chef City sells. Nonetheless, I'd buy a lot of it, just to have it, and the fact that I don't is less a result of rational thought than of my fear of damaging of my marriage. The store doesn't always have what I want, but the staff is always accommodating, and, adorably, when I show up with a difficult-to-meet requirement, I get the sense that they really hope they can help. "Adorable." Yep, that's what I said. And I promise you that no one has ever referred to anyone at Amazon - from Bezos to the delivery driver - that way.

Great gifts for the cook on your list? An offset spatula, liquid measuring cups (the variously sized metal are a favorite,) pans and ramekins! Questions?

DELIVERY SERVICE (3.4 Stars)…read more A new stove and fridge was ordered with different delivery dates. My stove came in and was of course given a window from 9:30 - 1:30 and they came around 11:30. The guys were super nice and did the job quickly. They came in, took the old stove out, and brought in the new stove. IT WAS LOUD and scared my new puppy. I noticed while they wheeled away the old stove, parts of the top of the stove fell out and they don't bother to pick up the pieces even after walking by them many times. They brought in the new one and well I have hardwood floors and questioned "is that scratching my floors" as they push it around the kitchen and they told me no. Hmm I see ring minor markings but not that noticeable. Let's see how this goes when the new fridge comes.

I came here for some Oftast dishes which are a lot like corelle dishes but much less expensive. I did find the dishes I was looking for but I had a time finding my way out of the store. This gave me more time to see all the cool things IKEA has to offer. I ended up finding some kitchen items I had never thought to look for. Signs pointing to the exits actually do not take you to the exit right away. The signs will take you to what feels like going through a Disneyland turnstile line. Just when you think you're getting out of the store or onto the Disneyland ride you've got a whole other roundy round or two to get through and lots of other goodies to see. Cool stuff here if you have the time and patience. I'll definitely be back. I love my dishes!

This review is for TODAYS EXPERIENCE only…read more I want shoppers to be aware if you're signed up for their E club you get a $10 birthday reward. I used it today on an item that wasn't in the store to see but had to purchase there I had to go to a warehouse to pick it up. It was much smaller than I thought. I returned it within 20 minutes. They refused to give me the $10 birthday reward back in a digital card. They said when you use it, you lose it even though I DIDNT use it because I returned the item IMMEDIATELY she basically said too bad no exceptions!! Be aware if you have a birthday reward, you better not return any item that you buy it with or you will lose it. I recently spent approximately 4,000 there on furnishing a wall system & cabinet for the living room. Good customer service would have been to put it back on my account it's the principle not the money.

The company under this new upper management only cares about collecting their payments, not about quality work and customer service. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND BE HAPPY WITH YOUR KITCHEN!!! I contracted with them to reface my kitchen, and I have the following issues: * The cabinets do not match the bases. They even agreed with me and asked me for a paint bid, but then decided that they do match. * The laminate on the bases is already delaminating and it hasn't been a year, in some cases hasn't even been a month * Poor quality parts were knowingly used for warranty work, which resulted in them telling me they would need to come back before they ever even finished. At this point, I think the poor quality workmanship and use of broken materials is intentional. Additionally, they make it very difficult to get work done in the afternoon, as they state they only work until noon. See attached: Statement of information that details the change in management that took place January 2025 Screen Shot from CSLB License Board detailing that their license (639021) is subject to cancellation if a new qualifying person is not replaced by 4/2/25. Screen shots of emails for them requesting a paint bid and then stating that everything matches. Text messages with the now CEO and CFO detailing that installers only work 5 am to noon. Picture of the mismatch from the cabinet to the base with THEIR sample that also shows that the laminate doesn't go all the way to the top of the base. Picture of delaminating base.
