Costco Burbank is a huge store where you can find almost everything you need. Today I saw a large…read moreinflatable pool for kids, a wooden slide for a private house installation, camping tents, clothing, food, household appliances, furniture -- basically everything from small everyday items to large household goods. You can only enter the store with a membership card. Recently, they also introduced a new rule: only the cardholder is allowed to pay for purchases. This is not always convenient, as in our case sometimes my husband paid, sometimes I paid, and sometimes our daughter used her card. Now this is no longer allowed. Shopping here is never a quick trip -- it usually takes around an hour because the store is so big. On average, our family of three spends about $250-$300 per visit, and that amount of groceries usually lasts us for about a week. Another interesting thing is that there are always different brand representatives in the store offering samples, so you can try products before buying them. It's actually very fun and helpful, and if you like something, you can purchase it right away. That's how I discovered one of my favorite flavors -- ginger, honey, and lemon, like a jam or spread. Now I love adding it to my tea. Overall, I do recommend this store for its variety and value. However, one downside is the long checkout lines, although this is understandable given how busy and popular it is.

And the worker scan to thẻ next line . I forgot to know his name but I thanks to the supervisor to bring this attention to matters and I hope this method will keep all the service to ALL Cosco locations. THANKS AND GOOD BLESS YOU ALL AND I SHALL BE BACK WHEN I NEED.

This review is strictly for their food court. Our kiosk station ran out of printer paper for my…read morereceipt. Mind you I was asked to pay, twice. It finally registered but no printer paper. After seeing others ordering and printing their receipts my wife finally got a worker to assist us. After checking the printer, he leaves to grab a replacement roll of paper. Then on replacing it blurts out, "you haven't paid yet boss." Now I'm getting upset, with my response being "oh yes I did, after two attempts!" Followed by the printer, now generating the fully paid receipt. No apology, just an "oh yeah." Large indoor food court with sufficient seating. And pigeons waddling their way in. The condiment station was the favorite hangout, with tables being a close second. And not a table wipe down to be seen. Our order of cheese pizza and hot dogs were met by, probably the nastiest tasting selection of fountain drinks I've ever experienced at a Costco Food Court. I much preferred the Pepsi offerings anyhoo. And to top it all off, before we'd actually seen any pigeons doing their thing on top of the condiment dispensers; mustard, ketchup, relish. I'm rolling along with my mustard; squirt! I prefer no ketchup on my dog. And then my relish? One squirt and all gone, empty. The Mrs. Never got any. And after informing the employees they were all out, never replaced. And others continued to make the relish change request. To no avail. Thank goodness we did get our chopped onions at the counter.

Upon entering there are shopping carts and baskets. Take a rolling one (trust me) and get ready for a wonderful store filled with food stuffs that will make you swoon. The neatly stacked shelves are filled with things like chocolate, jam, pasta, tinned seafood, chips, and pasta are all neatly organized. Tags indicating country of origin (largely from Europe) are helpful. There are refrigerators full of charcuterie, cheese, and French butter. Freezers have ready to bake breads and pastries from a bakery in Canada. It's actually quite overwhelming (in a very good way), if you don't know what you need. You'll definitely see lots of things you want. The people that work here seem happy and are very helpful. When we were looking at chips, one of the employees shared his favorites. The best part of the visit was meeting the owner. He was enthusiastic and extremely informative! He told us that everything in the store was sampled and scrutinized for taste and quality. He knew everything about the products and why they were sourced. He helped me find a delicious arbequina olive oil from Italy and tins of sardines packed it butter. Swoon. By the end of our visit my basket was full! While the items here are pricey I truly think that the quality is worth it. Parking is plentiful and conveniently located just outside. The store is clean and well organized. Bring your own reusable shopping bags because you'll need it for all the wonderful goodies. Definitely returning!

Pure electricity that took my friggin' breath away. I was overwhelmed as I stumbled around with my kid who also was in awe. The staff are fantastic. Eric is a master Jedi and was so thoughtful, energetic, detailed and soooooo fun with his descriptions, guidance and suggestions. I am was so so happy to hear that that this place is extending its square footage as well. (Thank you Eric for sharing and showing us the new space!). I don't know what to say. You just have to go. Imagine yourself in some great food adventure and you enter a vast other wordly cathedral filled with gems and golden treasure. That's Epicurus Gourmet. I've been in LA for well over three decades and its rare that I am frozen in my footsteps when walking into a new spot - but this place did it. A vast Disneyland of tinned fish, butters, pastas, meats, chocolate, spices, so so much more. Honestly, for anyone passionate about food and cooking, it may make you cry visiting this spot. Perfection. Go. Many thanks to Eric and the entire staff for making our first visit with you wildly memorable and deeply enjoyable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Soooooooooo glad you are nearby!

Of course, you can't forget the free food samples--I always enjoy seeing what new items they're promoting. At my last job, Costco was also a community partner and supported us with food and beverages for nearly all of our events, which made me appreciate them even more. Lastly, the food court is a must. I somehow always leave with a hot dog and a slice of pizza. The only downside is the parking. There are plenty of spaces, but it's almost always packed and can be a bit outrageous to deal with.

I recently had a very frustrating experience at food court @ Costco on Sepulveda Blvd. Van nuys CA…read moreThe service was extremely poor, and the wait time was unbelievably long. It was clear that there were not enough employees available to handle the number of customers, which led to unnecessary delays and a very disorganized experience. Customers were left waiting for extended periods without any clear communication or sense of urgency from the staff. The overall system they have in place seems inefficient and not designed to handle busy times effectively. I've included a picture to show exactly what the situation looked like--it speaks for itself. Costco usually has a reputation for good service, but this visit was very disappointing. I hope management takes a closer look at staffing and improves their process to better serve customers.

** ELITE WHOLESALE = EXPIRED GARBAGE CENTRAL - DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CLOWNS **…read more I ordered a huge pallet from Elite Wholesale thinking I was getting a great deal on snacks and drinks for my store. What a complete scam. Almost everything they sent was **expired or on the verge of expiring**. Chips tasted stale and rancid, candy was rock-hard and stuck together, snacks had that weird off smell, and the drinks were either flat or way past their sell-by dates. I'm talking boxes upon boxes of junk that should've been thrown out months ago. This wasn't a few bad items -- it was the **majority** of the shipment. I opened case after case only to find expiration dates from 3, 6, even 9 months ago. Who the hell sells expired food and drinks in bulk like this?! These crooks are preying on small businesses and resellers who expect wholesale products to at least be fresh. **Warning to everyone:** If you're stupid enough to order from Elite Wholesale, check **every single label and expiration date** the second your order arrives. Don't trust a word they say. They'll swear everything is fresh and current, but it's mostly old, expired crap they're trying to unload. Total waste of money. I had to throw out or heavily discount most of what I bought. My customers complained, I lost sales, and now I'm stuck with a bunch of garbage I can't sell. **Elite Wholesale is a shady, low-quality operation.** Save your money and your reputation -- stay far away from these expired-food pushers. **Zero stars. Never again.**

SoCal Flower & Supply is my happy place! Coming here is such a treat for me because there are…read moreSOOOOOO many pretty flowers. I'm by no means a florist but I really enjoy putting together floral arrangements at home and this place has every kind of flower anyone could possibly think of. This place has both retail and professional florist customers (you can tell because their racks are always stacked vs. my three bunches haha). Francisco and everyone else that work there are so nice and helpful! Last time I came on a Friday close to Valentine's Day and it was so busy but everyone was as helpful and nice to me as they are to some of the bigger florist customers who probably spend wayyyy more money than me. The first time I came here was a little intimidating (it's very different than the Trader Joe's floral section, lol!) because the floral coolers are spread out across different parts of the buildings. But you can ask anyone and they will point you tthe right direction and once you get a hang of the space after the first time you're good to go! It's worth it I promise!

I stopped by a few days before Thanksgiving to buy meat for my Assyrian Stew and found the line in the back.

Handy Market has been around longer than I've been alive. It was founded in 1970 and upon entering,…read moreit certainly feels dated but there's something to be said about all the colorful and varied produce that's neatly displayed down its narrow aisles, almost like a Wes Anderson film. Imagine rows of radicchio, rainbow chard, exquisite endive, squash blossoms, sunchokes and artichokes, fennel with their fronds tangled in long red chilies surrounded by pungent herbs like perilla, lovage, tarragon. An extra star just for that. But... My only gripe is their weekly Saturday BBQ. Through the years I have enjoyed both kinds of ribs, the brisket, sausages, turkey and chicken that they cook and smoke right outside in the parking lot. Even if you don't see it, you'll smell it within a couple blocks. I can't think of a better way to promote a bbq business and Handy Market knows it. They're counting on all the new customers who get lured in by the intoxicating scent of grilled meats on live fire to try this sad, sorry excuse that they call BBQ. All the meats are dry, tasteless and overcooked. They do not season any of the meat, not even a lick of salt. They want you to buy their sugary bbq sauce and baste them on the grill. Meaning you still have to finish cooking it at home but it was tasty enough and the price was low so it was worth doing for many years. Lately though, it's been expensive and inedible. The quality of all the meat has become sus and I was sold the driest beef ribs with texture like leather, that they probably dug up from the back of a freezer and a smelly turkey leg that's left over from like, Thanksgiving. My homemade bbq sauce could not save either meat and suffice to say I will never order barbecue from here again. What's happened to you, Handy Mart? I just can't believe you've slipped so far. This is the worst bbq in all of LA and I cannot recommend anyone eating here. Those brave souls who do not heed this cautionary tale cannot say you haven't been warned. Good luck.
