2.21.26 Hubby looking for a knife, I'm looking for a sharpening tool…read more It's a smaller scale store but I can easily spend at least an hour roaming the aisles. I love to cook & I see all the possibilities of the items to make life easier or more efficient here. My santoku is starting to become dull & needs sharpening. I couldn't my favorite chef 's knife (the whole knife block cannot be found!) Hubby found a chefs knife & he got me the sharpener. I told him I wanted to get the stone/honing block but he opted for the metal kind. The staff are super helpful & answered our questions. There so many "toys" I wanted to buy but I must resist the urge to amass more "clutter" (that's what Hubby calls it, but he reaps the benefit when he eats what I cook). I still need a dumpling rolling pin, but they only have standard types at this location. Aisles are fairly spacious & inventory appears well stocked, neatly arranged & sorted. Prices are fair & marked accordingly. It has its own designated free parking lot. Good shopping trip, met our goals.

Warranty Experience with Chef's Toys and Mulberry Technology…read moreInitial Purchase and Expectations In 2023, we invested a total of $26,472.61, which included taxes and two warranty insurance plans, for a 3-door KINTORA refrigerator and a 2-door KINTORA freezer. Our initial experience was smooth and hassle-free, largely thanks to our salesperson, Estaban Aguirre. Unfortunately, we later discovered that Estaban was no longer with the company. The Issue Arises On March 6, 2026, the hinge of our 3-door KINTORA refrigerator broke, rendering the refrigerator unusable. Since we had purchased a warranty, we immediately reached out to Estaban for assistance, only to learn from Raul Flores that Estaban was no longer employed with Chef's Toys. Raul provided us with contact information for Mulberry Technology, who was supposed to handle our warranty claims. Challenges with the Warranty Process This marked the beginning of a frustrating ordeal. It quickly became apparent that Chef's Toys was not well-acquainted with Mulberry Technology. Raul initially gave us an incorrect contact number for starting our claim. He directed us to Joshua Wohl at Mulberry, who, while not involved in claims processing, was helpful enough to connect us with the appropriate department--after we had already experienced several unhelpful responses from Raul. After sending our purchase order to Karime, our contact at Mulberry, we learned that Chef's Toys had never registered our protection plan with Mulberry or transferred the necessary funds for our warranty. We attempted to follow up with Raul but received no response until we escalated our concerns to Chef's Toys' corporate office. Unfortunately, reaching out to their main line at 714-662-2433 during business hours of M-F between 9am-5pm only led to a voicemail, and our emails through their website also went unanswered. This is TERRIBLE! Resolution and Lingering Frustrations Eventually, Raul from Chef's Toys responded and offered a courtesy repair for our refrigerator door but informed us that our remaining warranty coverage would not be honored. This was frustrating, as we had already paid for the warranty. During this period, on March 25, the Health Department visited and deducted points from our inspection due to the non-functional equipment. We promptly notified Raul about the urgency, as another inspection was scheduled for April 6. Fortunately, the Health Department accepted our communication with Raul and a photo of the completed repair as proof. The entire process--from the breakdown on March 6 to the repair on April 6--took a full month. This delay was disappointing, especially given that waiting for a part should not have justified such a lengthy timeline; someone could have delivered the part to expedite the repair.

It was neatly wrapped in protective paper, and the cut was precise -- it fit perfectly for the project I was working on.

Kidding Around the Kitchen provides cooking classes and demonstrations geared toward the family…read more I just attended one of the classes with my daughter today, "Wok and Roll" at the Japanese American Museum. Todays class was "A hands-on cooking class of easy and healthy stir fry and sushi recipes the whole family will love." The class size was small and there were enough work stations for every child to try to make something different. The work stations included: Farmers Market Rainbow Stir-fry Thai-riffic Chicken Pasta and Veggie Stir Fry Cucumber and Avocado Sushi Mexican Sushi Bites Crispy Candy Sushi Moo Shu Vegetable Roasted Color flower Sun Tea My daughter was only interested in making sushi everything and we were successful in working the three stations that made sushi. After the class was finished making the dishes, all of it was laid out buffet style for us to try everyone's handy work. Chinese take out boxes were provided for taking home what we made. The food itself wasn't "fine cuisine" but the class was very informative, fun and provided a great opportunity for kids to try a food they typically wouldn't try at home or even at a restaurant. Even though, I consider myself a foodie and a well-informed cook, I did learn something new from the class and it was simple enough that it got my nine year old daughter interested in cooking! We were also able to get all the recipes in a handy dandy stapled handout. I learned that Kidding Around the Kitchen provides weekly demo's Sunday's, 10-noon at the Hollywood/Atwater Farmers' Markets. I look forward to taking my daughter to the next class.
