Really enjoy shopping at this Ralph's location. Workers are friendly and the staff call me by my name. Amazing selection specially the "exotic fruit" selection. I highly recommend the red dragon fruit available this week and the cara cara oranges are to die for! The only problem is parking! read more

This place a pretty much a disaster from start to finish. The only redeeming quality is a good dejection of grocery items compared to other alternatives in down town. Always understaffed at the registers, the employees clearly hate their jobs and lives and there's one check out guy who screams at customers to move through the checkout line because he's afraid he'll get stuck ringing more people up than his counterparts. He's a super aggro, you'll likely feel like punching him in the face annoying. Yes, you know who you are sir. I hope you read this. So....if you don't mind obnoxiously long wait times to check out and an insane check out clerk yelling at the customers like you're in boot camp this is a great place to shop. They don't seem to have any management level folks working here for some reason. Oh and the parking garage reeks of urine. lol read more

Beware of incorrect pricing at check out. Green onion was on special for 0.99 and the machine at self-checkout had it as $1.99. Unfortunately the staff said I would have to go thru the regular checkout line to get that correct and refunded. I didn't want get in long lines for $1 difference. However, It's not the first time I caught incorrect pricing. Just be aware. For the most part it's a good store with many varieties including asian cooking products. read more

CLOSE THIS LOCATION!!!!!! Website says they close at midnight yet they are denying shoppers at the door at 11:40. Customer service and management here is non existent! This is the most dangerous grocery store I've ever experienced. It's the only grocery store to serve downtown LA and the service is horrendous! Management allows employees to cuss and talk to customers like they are crazy! They don't honor policies. This is the absolute worst store I've ever experienced in my whole life! Yall just hiring anyone to work here. This grocery store should be way more elevated and committed to a service that is representative of a long standing grocery chain! read more

Honestly coming to the DTLA location is always a mistake but coming at 12am was an adventure. You get all the characters and more. Dancers. Beggars. People with no shoes. Gym rats. Suits and ties. It's truly an inclusive Ralph. Boxes were all over the place. They were stocking some shelves but it felt like it was the norm rather than the time of the day. They close off the self checkout and the line stretched around the corner before you check out. Waited about 10 minutes. Not enough staff interaction but they were quick to bag my items. Tempted to give it a 2 star but honestly I saw some items I never seen before and have been for the store was pretty vast and separated / sectioned off decently that I will round up. read more

The store was clean, organized, and bright! There was even a Starbucks and Krispy Kreme! They take store inventory seriously especially when it comes to baby, feminine, and personal products because you have to pay for those items on that aisle and it's securely blocked on the other end except for emergency exit. We got to the register and Delfina and Kevin were so helpful and provided top notch customer service! read more

Romeo is an extremely rude employee who makes shopping here a deeply unpleasant experience.

An update: although it seemed at first they tried to keep it open likely due to complaints, they've closed once again before 12am without notice or signs. Instead, they stopped all the elevators from working from the parking garage, locked the front doors and the workers were inside hiding. One was nice enough to signal that they are closed from afar but otherwise, multiple people drove off or walked away around 11:45pm. Do not risk coming at 11pm or at night in general. They are basically closed when they need or want to. 100% would not come here if we were not so close. read more

I went in, SEE PHOTO, and after the "experience" contacted Kroger (owners of Ralph's)Customer Service at +1 (800) 576-4377 Both employees on this line were very professional in taking my info. The 5 stars are for this Kroger customer number and for Vinnie. Vinnie was fantastic in listening and info provided as was his co-worker a woman before but I didn't get her name. Definitely recommend if someone has a store experience and they would like to talk to someone outside of the store. This is a great number to do it so this review added an updated for that experience. Thanks so much, Krogers! Vinnie was fantastic. He works for Kroger the owners of Ralph's and are a resource to go to regarding shopping experiences at Ralph's for this five star update is due to Vinnie and his coworker that are at this number, they don't work in the store at the Kroger's phone number! read more

If they can keep out homeless people? They can certainly keep out non-service animals! Two and three dogs is clearly a violation and an indication of them not being for service! One dog is a service dog, possibly! Not two! Not three! Management continues yo not keep digs out of the produce and others areas of the store!!! read more

Yeesh, this location is pretty rough. Every time I come here there is either a shoplifter being detained by the armed security guards, crack/meth heads roaming the isles, or someone screaming and yelling about something. The underground parking lot REEKS of urine and the elevators are always out of order (I actually got stuck in one for a few minutes and almost had a panic attack). I get that it's DTLA, but damn near half of the store is a store within a store and you have to pay two separate transactions if you have purchases from inside the enclosed area and outside of it. God forbid if you have a prescription at the pharmacy (which I do), it's three separate transactions per visit. All that being said, being a Fresh Fare, they have a really nice selection of fresh, crisp fruit and vegetables. And despite the separate transaction, I prefer their pharmacy over any CVS. 2.45 Stars. read more

This is my first bad review of a place and the worst grocery store I've ever been too. Over crowded and the lines were not moving at all. The staff BARKS at you to move and push people if they don't move immediately. Once I paid the worker told me "you better start packing your groceries QUICKLY" after I waited an hour in line. DONT go here unless you want to ruin your day. read more

My son bought me a Home Depot crdit card from Ralphs, went to go and use the card and it wasn't validated, this has gone on over a month a total nightmear working with Ralphs read more

Store appears organized and clean. They have extremely heavy security. They don't seem to carry many products. They have a section of reduced price produce near the pharmacy area. They also have a small shelf of reduced price breads in the frozen food aisle. read more

***THIS RALPHS ACTUALLY CLOSES AT 11:45PM*** They will shut & lock the door in your face at 11:45pm or even earlier! Other than that, and besides them being selective about giving cash back & their entrance/check-out system being like a Disneyland ride line, they're usually decently stocked, have good item prices, and have lots of free underground parking with a couple working elevators. read more

Terrible experience. The checkout area was completely disorganized, with no clear line system, which led to people cutting ahead (at the direction of an employee ) and total chaos. The employee managing the lines was demeaning and hostile, and was actively directing people to cut in front of one another. He also verbally assaulted several customers. Instead of helping, he made the situation worse and created a very uncomfortable environment. This location needs serious improvement in both organization, on duty management in the evenings, and customer service. read more

Fresh and fare at Ralph's Fresh Fare DTLA Located on 9th street across from Panini Kabob Grill between Flower Street and Hope Street - they have easy steps or a long ramp off to the side. There is an underground lot just for Ralph's that you can access from Hope or Flower with elevators that go directly to the store. Easy access on foot if local or staying locally as well as close to lots of public transit. The staff is pretty friendly at this location and they're always stocked good as well as always busy. Security stationed throughout and their pretty diligent. A few popular items run low or light especially in paper goods, home goods or personal care items. A central hub for local residents, but definitely also people traveling and in need of a few essentials. The layout is pretty big though can feel a little small during peak hours. Especially on weekends and close to holidays. This Ralph's is central and the primary option in downtown. Other grocers such as Smart & Final and Whole Foods, being the next available, but you'll find better deals here. Being a high traffic grocery store, spirits are locked up, but they're up front so it's an easy assist when you're checking out. I'm not here too often, but when staying in the area recently we did make a quick stop in. Prior to that I'd come in a bit when visiting people in the area. Usually for veggies, a grab n go veggie roll, and beverages. Solids selection of beer and wine, with a wine cellar no less. Enjoy produce here - like their bananas, pre-sliced fruit and oranges. Pickup available/accessible from their spots in their garage lot - close to the elevators. read more

Jail Ralph's. They have literally installed barriers trying to imprison you unless you buy something. The "emergency exit" closes behind you when you enter. The only ways to get out are (1) wait in a checkout line (they have installed barriers blocking exit via unstaffed lanes) or (2) try to exit at self checkout. Oh wait. They have installed a gate that only opens if you scan a receipt. The grocery store is fucking jail. Go literally anywhere else. This is a city. Nobody needs to rely on this trash. read more

This Ralphs has a recent history of shutting down operations well before closing time. Today there was one register opened while around 40 people were in line 5 minutes before closing. I arrived 30 minutes before closing, and the bakery turned away a guest trying to get a birthday cake because it was closed despite the promise of the store to stay open until 12 AM. This type of culture comes from the top, and it will take corporate headquarters to install new management because this type of behavior has gotten out of hand. I worked at Target for many years and we never closed our door or stopped our services not even a minute before closing time. From now on, I am taking my business to Von's for late night shopping read more

Shopping here tonight was a ridiculous nightmare of an experience. First of all, the store is a maze. you walk in, you are forced to walk back and forth before you find the aisle you need. Secondly, they make you pay for alcohol and health care products in a locked-in area of the store. You're not allowed to pay for all of your merchandize and groceries at once. Whoever thought of this concept clearly has no idea how good customer service works. Finally, to add insult to injury, instead of just leaving the store when you are done paying you have to have your receipt scanned by this computer contraption before you leave. Creepy as hell. As a result, i am never shopping at Ralphs ever again! read more

RALPH'S DOWNTOWN IS SERVING FOOD IN AN UNSANITARY MANNER Note the photo. It's a container of crab salad (although they guy incorrectly printed a Shrimp Ceviche label) i got at the seafood section at Ralph's downtown. Next to it is an ordinary non-sealing plastic bag. I've ordered this three times from the various different employees working the seafood counter, and each time they placed the salad directly into the bag....without the container. Their normal deal is to plop the amount you want into this flimsy bag and close it up with that little sticker you see on top of the plastic container, which is insufficient to make a sanitary seal. and this isn't the weirdest part..... They don't use serving spoons. Instead, the guy puts a glove on and just takes a scoopful of the salad WITH IS HAND directly and then dumps it into the plastic bag. This stuff is oozy like coleslaw. When they grab it, the goop starts dripping down their wrists. It's frigging disgusting. The seafood section is right next to the deli section. They have serving spoons there, which they use. They also have plastic containers which form an adequate seal once closed. So ya know, when i order it i go to the deli section and ask for an unused plastic container like the one in the photo. I've spoken to the manager about this and she said she would take care of it. this was weeks ago, Obviously she didn't read more

I have been shopping here for years. I am sorry to see this store decline in every aspect in recent years. Today I walked out leaving my cart behind.

My review is for the sushi department. I went in on Tuesday about 3pm, I was having a craving for sushi and we went in looking for a specific one, it was not available but the employee went out of his way to make it for us and that really was the highlight of my week! Thats all! read more

Well, this is a clean Ralph's store with very good selections and decent pricing. But I had an allergic reaction to the store-within-the store, presumably blocked off for high theft items. The line to purchase in this section was ridiculous. On top of this you still have to navigate extra security doors for some liquor items Ridiculous read more

Rude employee creating confusion directing traffic in checkout lines. After ten years, now shopping elsewhere.

I arrived at the store at 12:36 AM, well before the posted 1:00 AM closing time. The downstairs elevators were shut off, so I had to drive out of the parking garage and head to the front entrance by 12:40 AM. When I got there, the security guard was at the door arguing with customers and refusing to let anyone in. Even one of the store employees was locked out and mentioned that they "sometimes close early," which is completely unacceptable. If the store closes at 1:00 AM, customers should be allowed in until then. Shutting down early, especially without notice, is unprofessional and frustrating. This needs to be addressed read more

If I arrive at 11:58 PM, I should be let in the store. Whoever Kelly (or Nelly) is...an animal. She was so rude as I tried to enter the store. She "shooed" me away, which is terrible customer service. I get that some of the customers here can be rough sometimes, but the employees can be even worse. read more

As a student living on a budget, I appreciate how many affordable options this store has. I came in for snacks and basic groceries, and the sales were perfect for stretching my money.

RE: PHARMACIST Float on duty (10/8) & Pharmacy manager / Maribal (located @ 645 W 9th St. Los Angeles, CA 90015) & DISTRCIT MANAGER *I am CA lawyer making this statement voluntarily under penalty of perjury. It is sad i have to share extremely unpleasant experience here. I transferred my medications BECAUSE Free Delivery. I clarified 3x with Pharmacy staff Marbal. My insurance has already approved in 10/3. The medication NEVER delivered until today (10/8). They know I need the medication every day. Today Pharmacist on float called me saying" there is charge $98.00. The pharmacist refused to give her name. She also refused to transfer to other pharmacy. It is illegal not to transfer when patient requests unless it is controlled substance. They hung up on me 2X Rude & Unprofessional! Horrible management! Huge misrepresentation!

Ralphs is conveniently located, and it's perfect if you're planning to head to the park afterward. I stopped by to buy fruits, vegetables, and salt, and was happy to find travel-sized salt and pepper--great for those not staying in the area long. They also offer discounts on items, like salads with colored price tags. The service was quick, and the ambiance was quiet, creating a calm shopping experience. The decor is typical of a supermarket. However, I couldn't find papayas, which are amazing in California, or specific probiotics for digestion, which was a bit disappointing. Otherwise, it was a solid and convenient shopping trip! read more

Worst part of my day when I have to come here and flush my money down the drain. If you're one of those people who has a problem making themselves throw up, just walk up to this place. Stand outside for a few minutes, the smell will make you wretch. The odor outside is horrendous if you poured concentrated bleach on the sidewalk, the bleach would run away. It's a combination of death and excrement. At least it smells a little better inside. But that's about where my positive comments for this place end. Everything is marked up considerably. I imagine this place has lots of theft, and they pass the loss onto its customers. If you have a car, bus pass, access to the subway or use of a helicopter, avoid coming here. Go anywhere else. Big box store, membership club, any mart with the word wall in it. You'll find exactly the same products and produce at dramatic discounts from this place. The Kroger company ought to be ashamed of itself for how it runs this place. It's like this: if I approached this place and I saw one of its employees being accosted or mugged, I'd probably ignore it and walk on by. This place makes me indifferent to humanity. This store actually has successfully turned me into a worse human being for shopping here. They are getting more sneaky everyday, I saw jumbo avocados marked at $1.79, but it was a digital coupon, I entered my number and still had to pay $3.00. So that's when I decided to write this review. read more

Ralphs - $3.00 avocados were the last straw. - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had a very disturbing experience at this Ralphs location. The cashier did not ask for my Ralphs Card, so the loyalty discount was not applied. When I politely returned with the receipt and asked to correct the mistake, the cashier became aggressive, insisted he had asked (which he hadn't), and refused to help, sending me to another register. After the refusal of service, I took out my phone to document the situation. The cashier did not ask me to stop recording or mention any policy. Instead, he began yelling, mocking, and making insulting comments toward me in front of other customers for 10-15 minutes. I then spoke calmly with the manager. The manager also refused service, saying: "He refused to serve you, so I refuse too," and falsely claimed that recording inside the store could "send me to jail," which was clearly said to intimidate. The receipt was never corrected, and no refund was issued. This behavior violates basic customer service standards: refusal of service, public harassment, and false legal statements. I expect corporate to review this incident, take appropriate action, and correct the receipt. read more
