This is my closest grocery store and might be the most interesting store I've been to for people…read morewatching, besides Walmart. It's getting 5 stars for 2 reasons: 1. The bakers sometimes put extra brownies in the fresh brownies they have for sale in containers. I'll get like 4 extra large brownies or 9 Brookies instead of like 6. I consider this a win. And 2. They have a cute manager that works at night. Kind of spazzy, but at least it's something to possibly peak at while trying to score extra brownies. If I'm not being lazy and it's day time I usually go up to the one on Western. Very well stocked and a larger selection, but this place is fine if it's on your way home or to the beach.

So I already had some items in a bag and the new security guard told me that I couldn't go into the store with items from another store so I needed to thigh up my bag. So the way I see it he assumed that I was gonna steal, I've been coming here for more than 10 years and never been treated this way. So unprofessional if that's a new policy they have now they should put a big sign at the door.

There's also a manager that hasn't been there that long he is always helping his colleagues and in a check stand or working around the store and I've seen the energy at the store come back.

Vons may be a little more expensive but it's worth it for the extra customer service and selection. Grocery store next-door only has one kind of hairspray no men's hair gel and one kind of mousse. Vons has better selection and I don't have to wait a long time for someone to come unlock the items I would like to buy great job to the Vons team.

The store is usually fairly cleans and the employees are friendly. There used to be an employee I thought had the worst customer service but I think she's gone because in haven't seen her in years. They always have great deals if you know how to shop and look for them. It's important to look for these since everything seems so expensive these days. I'm always here so I'll definitely come back.

There is signage posted that the deli closes at 8pm. The last two times I've visited the deli…read morebetween 7pm-7:15pm, everything was packed up. The first lady explained to me they were short staffed so she had to close early so she could get off on time, but she still asked me what I wanted and was nice enough to go to the back and get it anyway. The second lady said the same thing - they were short staffed - but didn't offer to do anything and had an "oh well" attitude. I've now wasted gas and two trips to the deli that's supposed to be OPEN UNTIL 8PM like the signage says. I feel for the workers wanting to get off on time and the store being short staffed, however, that is not the problem of the consumer. Ralph's should adhere to their deli times and figure this out, or change the times so we're not inconvenienced. If I arrive at 7pm, there's no excuse for everything being packed up an hour early. 10-15 minutes I understand, but an hour is ridiculous.

This is a great store and wonderful food and people prices are not bad considering the shopping experience that you get vegetables on ice a real ceviche bar the ladies chopping up the vegetables are so nice. This place is worth your time. Checking out. Parking lot is old school and there's a few spots right up front. Have a blessed day. Great store great people great food yummy yummy ceviche

Thanks again the 5 of you!! Bravo!! These guys are only a handful of the crew that definitely keeps me coming back. Actually every employee there deserves spotlighting recognition.

This amount significantly exceeds what California sales tax would justify and is higher than the advertised price. After reading other reviews on Yelp, it appears this is not the first time customers have experienced discrepancies between posted prices and what is actually charged. I'm sharing this for transparency so others can double-check their receipts. I refuse to support local businesses engaging in this behavior.

Poor Customer Service and Unprofessional Conduct…read more On November 22, 2025, I purchased Horizon Organic Milk at the Smart & Final located at 2775 Pacific Coast Highway in Torrance, CA. The next day, November 23, we discovered the milk was sour. On November 24, 2025, I went to a different Smart & Final location ( 1636 W 25th Street, San Pedro, CA 90732 ) early in the morning to exchange the product. I had my receipt with me. The cashier informed me that they could not exchange it because I bought it at the Torrance location. I politely asked to see that policy in writing. At this point, the manager, Manny, came over. Unfortunately, he was not friendly or helpful. He insisted I had to drive back to the Torrance store and even questioned why I purchased it there. His tone made the situation feel unnecessarily hostile. I explained that I did not have time to return to Torrance because I needed to take my son to a dentist appointment. Instead of providing assistance, he responded with comments such as: * "It's not my problem." * "I can't sell this milk." I again asked to see the policy in writing. Manny initially said it would take a minute, then changed his tone and accused me of "playing games," even though I was simply requesting clarification. After going back and forth, he finally stated that I could exchange the milk after all. I returned inside and exchanged it for the same brand. When I mentioned I would write a review about the experience, the manager followed me outside the store and loudly said: "Make sure you write that you bought the bad milk at the other store. Let's be fair here." This behavior was completely unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. I was planning to purchase additional groceries (bananas and apples), but after this treatment, I decided not to spend any more money at this location. I sincerely hope upper management reviews the store footage from that morning. A manager should never escalate a situation or follow a customer outside the store. Basic customer service training and familiarity with consumer rights--such as California Civil Code 1723--are essential.
