This location in the Sherman Oaks location is a franchise so they will not be shutting down ladies and gentlemen! They are very friendly and helpful. You can keep up with them on social media. Their name will be changing soon as well. I got a good bundle. Seven balloons filled with helium for about $42. Did you know that helium can stay up for 68 hours? You can add the liquid that makes it stay up to 24 hours. For only like two dollars more. It's not bad at all read more

So the Party City I was going to go to was closed. Decided to visit this one. Plenty of parking since its in a huge plaza. Like other ones I went to and is a big location. Clean and well maintained and the staff was nice. The usual themed sections for kids like Disney, Jurassic Park and Marvel. I could see a Halloween section full of masks and decorations but it was closed to customers. They also have pet costumes! I think you can ask them for a mask and they'll bring it to the front for you. Not sure if I just never noticed but there are so many different balloons! read more

This party city is the absolute worst party city I've ever been too! I went in to inflate 3 ballon's that i had previously purchased at this exact location. The pack came in a pack of 6 ballon's. I didn't use all 6 ballon's at the time so I saved them for another time. That time was today. They refused to inflate my ballon's and claimed that the ballon's were a "safety hazard" I walked over to the ballon aisle and found the exact same ballon's and walked over to the register. I stated, so if I buy these in the pack, they're no longer a "safety hazard" and the manger replied, yes. This is the absolute dumbest rule I've ever heard in my entire life. I had to re- purchase another pack of $10 ballon's plus $2.50 for helium $22 for 4 ballon's. Absolutely pathetic and I will not be shopping here anymore. This was not the first time this party city delivers poor service. It's ballon's, it's not that serious. Neither is this company in a position to deny helium for $2.50 read more

Had an awesome experience shopping for just what I needed for a photoshoot! Didn't get the guy's name but I had to ask someone for help to get into the back area for Halloween items. Seems they close it off for whatever reason, maybe for out of season or something? I was looking for Spirit Gum for glueing horns to my forehead and the guy who helped me was knowledgeable and helped me find it quick. He also gave me tips on application since it was my first time using it. Great service and couldn't be happier! Tiny little bottle which will last a long time. IG: @ammysalamii read more

The boss or manager was yelling at an employee for laughing while he was on the phone in front of us. It was very shocking and uncomfortable for everyone involved. Also half of the store is cautioned off for no reason. Go to five below next door, don't waste your time. Also they dont allow children in for some reason?! There is a crude and offensive sign on the door read more

Absolutely unacceptable customer service. I had one of the worst retail experiences at this Party City location. Despite the store being filled with employees walking around asking if you need help, the moment you actually do need assistance, they either avoid you or come up with excuses not to help. I was shopping with my 11-month-old and had multiple large items I couldn't carry out on my own since they don't allow carts outside. When I asked for help bringing my items to my car -- which was just steps from the entrance -- I was told to pull the car up front and leave my child inside while I came back to request help. Seriously? Not only is that completely unreasonable, it's shockingly insensitive and unsafe. Thankfully, another customer overheard and kindly offered to help me carry the items. He mentioned he's a regular and has seen this kind of behavior from the staff before. This store clearly lacks empathy, basic courtesy, and customer service training. I will never shop here again and I hope others think twice before doing so. read more

Overall the customer service here was very disappointing. The shelves were only half stocked and the lady who checked me out was very rude. She walked away in the middle of me checking out do to literally nothing? The other cashier with colored hair was nice but seemed overwhelmed with the lack of help she was getting. read more

I stopped by this Party City this morning to look at balloons for my niece birthday party. They had a lot of balloons out for birthday, mother's Day and graduation so they were ready. They have other balloon themes as well so you'll likely find what you want here. The staff were friendly, the moment I walked in they greeted me and asked if I needed any help. The balloon is more on the pricey end so be aware of this. They have other stuff here as well and organized nicely inside. I didn't buy the balloon from here since I went next door to another store where they were cheaper. read more

I called last night about an animatronic that the website lists as on sale for $138. They said they have 2 in stock (can't be purchased online; in store only). So I go there this morning. The girl who checked on it last night was there. Another girl went to go get me 1. She brings it down and asks what price I was expecting to pay. I show her the screenshot : was $200, on sale $138. She tells me it's $259. It's an independent store and they don't honor the sales prices on the website. Even though they are on the website and listed as a store with the item for the sales price, they will not sell it for the sale price. I pointed out that their price is even higher than the regular price. Don't care. I left without it. I did have a chat with a clueless representative online and got nowhere. What did I learn? I won't be shopping there. read more

Service is awful. Never gonna shop in Party City. BTW target has the same stuff much cheaper

The service at the Porter Ranch Party City is absolutely disgusting. Reading the reviews there seems to be a trend that every one complains about which is the customer service from the staff. Well let me tell you that this complaint will be escalated to corporate because people complaining and nothing being done is not acceptable. Having worked in customer service for years there is NO excuse for this distain towards a paying customer. Shame on you Party City for hiring from the bottom of the barrel. read more

The service was very helpful and the amount of selections was more than enough. I needed some Jurassic Park balloons last minute and sure enough they had them. read more

I was in the Porter Ranch location on Saturday 11/16/24. I found what I want. My remark is for the clerk who lacked prompt service. He was rude with me and I noticed with the other 2 customers. That senior clerk needs to chill a little bit. read more

You WILL pay more here! This location's franchise owner proudly charges more for the very same items at other Party City locations. And they will NOT honor Party City online pricing. This location has its own totalitarian rules. I dropped by to make a return of an online order I had made and picked up at the Reseda location. As I explained this to the cashier, she cuts me off as soon as she heard the word "online" - without letting me finish - and blurted out, "We don't do online order pick-ups here!" Luckily, I was able to get her to slow her roll and listen to my actual request and things were looking up. That is, until I moved on to asking for her to match the online price of decorations I was buying. They were all priced for $2.00 more in the store. She, smugly, told me that they do not match their own online pricing and there should be a sign on the door. She also said that Target always has different prices in different store locations, and they are doing the same thing Target does. Incidentally, all Target locations match Target's online prices, so hopefully Party City employees come up with some new nonsense to justify the overcharging. read more

Are you the morbid type who wants to see what a store looks like as it enters hospice? This is your jam then. Filthy aisles where most merch finds its home on the floor rather than on the shelves, mysteriously sticky surfaces at every turn, disgruntled acneiform employees with a plastic made-in-China ax to grind... boy howdy, these are just some of the treasures that will satiate your sadistic thirsts. Wholesome family fun for all. But seriously the icing on this rubber cake? Try to return something to this locale. Why you ask? Well because there's an extra layer of excitement when you try to do business with the illiterate. See, say you make a large purchase of party trash for a child. Said child refuses to don the metallic party hat so you bring it back to this location with the original receipt. Now, should you read the PC website, the policy, posted here for your amusement, states that all you need is your receipt to return your mistakes. Nope, not here. If you don't have the original credit card (said hat was purchased by an auntie who lives out of town), the return will be rejected. Flatly. These employees are anarchists, heroes, perhaps, who operate with their own set of rules, completely refractory to any sort of reason. And when you have the audacity to alert them to their errors, well, woe be to you. Better make your way out to this party cat box. And act fast, as it seems this one is fading slowly into closure, dying on the hill where the customer is surely always wrong. read more

This place is so terrible. I got a balloon bouquet for NYE and the big mylar one that costs a ton is deflating literally 15 minutes later. So is one of the latex balloons. When I called them to see if I can come back to get new ones the phone just rings and rings and then hangs up on you. Do not go here! read more

After visiting 3 different stores looking for balloons, I drove to this location and was helped by Catherine. I must say, that I am a horrible decorator and I took on the task of decorating a section at my job lol. Catherine was able to pick some really nice colored balloons and also recommend some additional spring decorations. She was very friendly and made sure I left 100% satisfied! I get balloons every month for my job and now I know where I'll be getting them and I'll be recommending my peers get them from here as well! read more

Hit and miss. Sometimes great service sometimes not. And most of the time have all the things I'm looking for.

Four stars because if the prices and shorter hours. For the most part they have anything and everything you might need for last minute party ideas. You will just pay the price for it. Last minute I was short on plates, went to pick some up and saw other fun things to add to the occasion. Spent way more than budgeted because I d couldn't hold back on their selection. Be careful if walking in without a list and no budget. read more

False advertising on the website assigned store was porter ranch I got there to fill up 20 foil balloons TEAM MEMBER TOLD me they do not honor the deal on there website which is 12 foil balloons for 19$ she told me since the ballon were not purchased there it would be 4$ per balloon I asked to speak to a supervisor he kept it short and sweet by stating that the only reason they don't honor the deal is due to them being a franchise and not corporate... now back to the team member she was extremely nonchalant and uncaring and outright uninformative ... extremely disappointing read more

Wouldn't recommend this store. Bought a faulty balloon that wouldn't hold helium and asked if I could exchange for another, same price. I bought the first one with a coupon and they wouldn't honor the price, so I had to pay the difference which is annoying. It was their fault for selling a faulty balloon. Just go to the mom and pop store party corner. Better customer service. read more

It's unbelievable that this store is overstaffed with employees, that offer not useful assistance. The store isn't that big, and yet they seem to get lost finding items. the asian and the manager named Richard. They both need to learn some customer service. Yep tell everyone and there momma not to come here.spend your money somewhere else. read more

Staff isn't the most helpful. The few times I've come here and asked for help, they basically roamed the aisle looking around no different than what I had been doing. I also want to point out that I have found on several occasions the prices I've seen on the Party City website have been less than what I have seen in store. Luckily they'll price match so if you see this dependency just show them the lower price online at checkout and they'll give you that price. I don't know why they don't just keep the prices the same over the two places, but whatever. Just a little tip to help you save a few bucks. Obviously around holidays like Halloween this location can get very busy but around other times of year it is nearly a ghost town. This is a great location to quickly get in and out if you're in a rush. read more

I brought a few ballons inside the store to just get helium in them. The lady was going to charge me a few dollars for the air then the manager says no $65. $65 for air????? unbelievable. the manger should be ashamed of himself for trying to rob me. will never go back to this party city. the dollar tree store charge me $1.50. don't let this store rob you. also half the things they sell in there are in Walmart next door for a fraction of the price. read more

Store is clean and organized, they have a great selection of balloons for all types of events and the cashiers make great suggestions making your visit a brise. read more

Poor customer service but plenty of employees. Terrible boy baby shower selection. Over priced balloons. They have a lot of party stuff but I expected so much more of their baby shower section. So I just tried to use their baking cups to make cupcakes and they are way stretched out. My cupcakes for the baby shower are not forming well and the quality of these paper baking cups is awful. I just reduced my 3star review to 2. I make cupcakes all the time and this never happens. read more

I placed a "curbside order" as advertised on their website . I received an email about the processing of my order and was instructed to not go to the store until I received an email about my order being ready. I had originally scheduled my order to be picked up at 2:30 pm I decide to still head to the store without receiving the email. So I call while i'm outside the store at approximately 2:50 thinking they might be running late as I saw a huge line outside , and I am told by the employee that for some reason their emails were not going through. Not only that she explains to me that apparently this is not "really a curbside pickup location" ( why would they advertise it on the website and give you instructions about an employee coming to your trunk if they do not offer this service!!!????) I had originally placed this order with the sole purpose of saving time and just driving up and receiving my order . But instead I am here waiting in this huge line outside the store just to pick up balloons !!!! I will attach screenshot of email stating the directions to pick up orders. This is very disappointing will not be ordering from this store ever again! read more

Party City - False Advertisement !! They do not offer curbside pickup!!!! - Party Supplies Near Me - Porter Ranch, California

Avoid Porter Ranch location! This location is consistently the worst! I have never had such difficulty. The franchise owner does not honor online pricing (their pricing is often inflated) nor do they accept online returns WITH receipts unless it is from their location. They claim they can do online returns using your phone number even but even when they see your account pop up and know my name, they claim they don't see the purchase. It's so unbelievable in this day and age. Avoid at all cost. I've never seen another Party City operate in this archaic way! read more

There's a gentleman by the name of Sebastian who is blowing up balloons who couldn't have been more rude to me today and not helpful whatsoever read more

Party city has always been a fun store to go to. Most recently I went with friends to shop for a baby shower. I had shopped there before but only for a few specific items. I absolutely recommend Party City for the huge selection of balloons. I'm not sure if it's the cheapest place, but they are definitely dependable. The issue I have with Party City is that many of the products (table decorations, napkins, plates, etc.) are sold in small quantities and it's expensive. A good example of this is plastic utensils. A 45-pack of utensils (knives, spoons, forks-15 each) cost almost $6. You can get the same thing at the 99 Cents store...for 99 cents. I would still recommend this store because of the extensive selections for party goods, but I would know exactly what I need and go the dollar stores before heading here. read more

Horrible service I don't recommend at all! I was looking for someone to help me and everyone I came across could not help me. I actually had to tell them I was going to call corporate if I didn't get any help. That is so disappointing. If you don't like your job you shouldn't work in that type of job. read more

The Good: -Close to home -Lots of selection -Great ideas for parties, weddings, etc. -Lots of kids stuff and trinkets for the goody bags The bad: -The staff didn't seem that knowledgeable of what they carried -No one asked asked me if I needed any help (wandering 20 mins) Eh, I'd go back if I was throwing a shindig but you can also try 99cent store for cheaper stuff. You'd be surprised what party stuff you can find there. LOL :) read more

This Party City is part of a large shopping center that also contains a Walmart and a Babies R Us. Parking lot is free. The selection is very good. We needed a handful of things for a party and when we came here, we knew we were going to find it. read more

BUYER BEWARE! ADVERTISED PRICE IS DIFFERENT THAN IN-STORE PRICE! I found an item I wanted on PartyCity.com, and the website said it cost $5.00, and it was in stock at the Porter Ranch location. When I found the item and brought it to the register, they rang it up as $10.00. I pointed out the discrepancy, and no one apologized with "Sorry for the error." That's because IT'S NOT AN ERROR. This is their policy. The clerk explained that the price you see at PartyCity.com and the price you get in store are simply two totally different things, and the only way they will honor the price they advertise online is if a customer pulls out a phone and shows it to them. This is clearly false advertising. Even though the website tells you the item is available in-store, nowhere does the website disclose that you'll be charged DOUBLE. I recommend looking up the independent party supply store in nearby San Fernando for lower prices and honest service instead of this place. read more

The Manager "Sebastian" should not be the manager and needs to have his title taken away. He has no customer service skills nor understands the concept of going outside of the box to keep a customer happy. He basically would not refill a balloon that takes less then 30 seconds. Stated he has orders to be filled, there was an hour wait! For a balloon again... I will repeat that need o be refilled (because there balloons suck- deflated in 3 days) which literally takes 30 seconds or less. The cashier also has a helium tank in the front to use but he would not allow her! "Commented she is the cashier and needs to do her cashier work" However , there were no people in line and the cashier was available. In any other business, we are taught to multitask, we are to keep busy at work, customer satisfaction is the goal. Not under Sebastian's leadership. I hope a VP or Director of party city reads these comments and truly reviews this experience. This would be a 0 rating but the 2 girls at the cashier were very supportive towards my situation. For that, the 1 star is for the girls NOT "the manager". read more

I didn't know they had terrible customer service until I experienced it. So, my daughter accidentally pops a balloon, the cashier charged me for it but doesn't tell me, so since we're all being sneaky, after my purchase and as I'm waiting for my final balloon to get blown up, I walk over to get another balloon. She says "do you want me to charge you for that balloon" I say, "I already paid for it" she says, "I charged you for the broken one", I say "where does it say I have to pay for it because I have a receipt here that says I bought a balloon so I'm taking my balloon" ... the bickering goes on until the alpha male yells "MA'AM!!! YOUR RECEIPT IS FOR THE BROKEN BALLOON! YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BALLOON YOU BROKE!" So I say, "why are you yelling? No one is yelling. You need to stand down." All the employees looked like deer in headlights, alpha male walks away pissed taking it out on everyone nearby, so I take advantage, leave with my balloons and leave the deers with angry male employee. read more

It feels like the employees at this location go out of their way to be rude and upset you :/ I picked up three $13 balloons to complete an order that was going to be partially delivered by a different location (this location does not deliver). I asked for a bag to put the balloons in so I could safely drive and they said that'll be $1.50 after I paid. Never mind. I then realize my 3 letter balloons are held together by one clip. I asked if I can grab the weights my other balloons came with and they charge about $2 each. I explained that the other location includes weights in the price with free delivery and they said "we don't do that here." No apology, no solution. This made me appreciate the Burbank and Van Nuys locations for always being friendly and as helpful as possible. read more

Can corporate come and take over this location? Obvious the franchised owner is terrible. I can see why they have all the negative reviews. They don't even participate in after Halloween sales! Who wants to pay full price for costumes after Halloween when other stores are discounted? read more
