Amazing sushi. I get the eel roll frequently. The seaweed salad is also fantastic. The sushi chef is very friendly.

I had to arrange food for a large number of people for my father's memorial service in September 2009. Since I live out of the area I called Ralph's, which was nearby to the service, and spoke with a wonderful woman who patiently went through suggestions from their menu. I called a day later to order and had complete faith that they would give me just what I ordered and it would be perfect that I didn't even check out my purchase, but took it straight to the church. BTW, they had a wonderful young man assist my husband and me with all the boxes. When we put the food out IT WAS AMAZING and BETTER than expected. The presentation was beautiful and abundant. They went the extra mile to make it great. It was gourmet all the way! I want to thank them for their helpfulness and great customer service and ALL the food was delicious...sandwich trays, fruit and cheese trays, and the cheese trays. Julia read more

Probably my favorite Ralph's to go to! Love the location, very convenient for us. The staff is always very friendly! We love to get fresh meat/chicken and everything is always great quality. Again the staff is awesome! Even left my phone there on accident once, they were quick to secure it and had no problem with the return! Great store! read more

Let me start by saying I really like this Ralph's, good produce and selection of what I'm looking for, prices are high but the convenience trumps that for me. However, the people at the deli counter need charm school. Every single time I shop (mostly on the weekends as I work) they are knee deep with patrons and invariably there is only one lone person cutting the meats. Usually, though there's one of the deli workers a few feet away placing stickers on the cooked chicken or seasoning some chickens to be cooked. Someone needs to tell them that customers are their top priority. Today I approached one of the employees that was seasoning some chickens and inquired if she worked at the deli counter too and she snapped back at me rudely that she was busy......when the nice other employee who was working alone called her over she yelled at her too. Not too professional. I may have to find another deli counter that values their customers. Life is stressful enough....don't need to get stressed out over lunch meat. read more

went to this particular ralph's with my boyfriend to get some late night snacks. we happened to see this one beer with a turtle on it, for sale $1.99. this made us curious about exactly how bad this beer could be. we got to the register and everything was fine until the cashier saw my boyfriend's id. he had a smiley face sticker on it. she told him she couldn't take it because her manager had told her not to take any ids with stickers on them. my boyfriend asked her if she was joking. although he was behaving in a completely good natured way she got REALLY defensive and almost angry, repeating "THIS IS NOT A JOKE" in a pretty loud voice. when he said "that's an odd rule, is there a law about that?" she got even more angry sounding and said "WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO MY SUPERVISOR!?" sorry, crazy, it IS an odd rule. even more odd than the person who told me i needed to present a california driver's license to buy alcohol at safeway because you can only buy alcohol with a drivers license. when asked why you needed to drive to buy alchohol in california she said "you don't need to drive, but you need a driver's license. no state ids!" i also remember getting screamed at at this ralph's because the self checkout wouldn't cancel our order and we walked away from it to try another one. i know how to use self checkout, they're everywhere in the south, but ralph's self checkout machines (and employees) have some major issues. read more

Wow, what a horrid place! Because of my experiences with this store I will never step foot in another Ralphs again. We bought some horribly overpriced mascarpone cheese here for my mothers birthday tiramisu. When we got home and started to add it to the recipe, we noticed after the first spoonful that is was green! A quick look to the bottom of the package and we found that it was more than a week over the expiration date. I was pretty pissed about this, seeing as I now had to start the entire recipe over (Tiramisu is a giant pain in the butt to make but I love my mother just that much.) So back to the store where I get passed from worker to worker, each telling me to grab a new one. There was a problem with this though: ALL of the containers were well past the expiration date! They were selling rotten food and didn't even come to clear out the rest of the expired cheese when I brought it to their attention. I ended up bringing the rest of them to the help desk and explaining that there were, you know, laws against selling rotten food and that I would like to speak to a manager. I was told the manager wasn't available and that he wouldn't care anyway. I left, and found much cheaper and fresh cheese at Henry's, which is where I should have gone in the first place. This store is disgusting and the people who work there could care less. Never again. read more

I just went to this ralphs for some stuff for dinner and some beer. When I was checking out and asked the lady if I can split the bill between my debit card and my husbands she said not a problem. She than asked for both I.D. Cards. I only had mine. She then told me I could not split the charges because of the beer and I had no way to prove my husband was over 21. So I asked her to remove the beer and I would pay for that with my card all by itself. Then she refused. I asked her what the problem was and she just said she just can't do that and could not explain why. She was not nice about any of this either she was rude and very unhelpful. I normally go here pretty often but now i will be going to albertsons right up the street. read more

Troy in the meat department consistently delivers excellent customer service. I was sad when he moved from the San Marcos location and was delighted to see him in Oceanside. read more

Veggies were more fresh than the Ralphs on Oceanside Blvd and the Ralphs on Cannon Road. However, after checkout and driving halfway home we realized we were charged for 13 lettuces for a total of $12.87 instead of the one lettuce that we were purchasing which should have been .99 cents. Then we also noticed we were charged for 7 boxes of k-cup coffees when we only purchased 6 boxes from the clearance, we were charged $8.49 and $2.00 for one box instead of just the $2.00 clearance price-the cashier double scanned the box for both the regular price and the clearance price. We took items back and two managers told us they would refund the money and not charge us for the coffee($8.49 + $2.00) or the lettuce ($12.87), however we were only refunded $21.36 which did mean we were charged the clearance price of $2.00 for the coffee since the cashier double scanned the item. I'm the type of person that will never return to a store after catching cashier double scanning items and changing one item into 13 items all on one trip. Not only did the cashier make serious errors but the two managers told us how they were going to fix the errors and then the manager did not follow through with the correction by overcharging us another $2.00. This cashier turned a $22.43 checkout into a $43.79 checkout. FRAUD ALERT: THIS RALPHS COULD BE DOING THIS REGULARLY OR THIS CASHIER COULD BE DOING THIS REGULARLY - CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS - IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THIS IS THE ONLY INCEDENT As for us we will most likely never return to this store which is fairly close to our home. We have decided to frequent Costco, Aldi, Frazier Farm and Sprouts more often. I've also complained to Ralphs corporate. P.S. ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SALES RECEIPT STATES SAVED $4.99 FROM COUPONS, THERE WERE ONLY 2 COUPONS FOR $1.99 AND $2.00 - THESE RECEIPTS ARE PROGRAMMED TO DECEIVE THE CUSTOMERS AS MY CALCULATOR ADDS $1.99 AND $2.00 = $3.99 NOT THE $4.99 THAT THE RECEIPT STATES read more

This is always my #1 choice when I need to go grocery shopping. The employees are hard-working and friendly. The atmosphere is nice, and I always find good deals. The produce section never disappoints. Also, I love how they always have many lanes open, so that I never have to wait in line long at all. Also, the self-checkout is quick and convenient. My bank (Union Bank) has a branch in Ralph's, and also am ATM, which is very convenient for me. read more

I'm a vegetarian, so for me the produce department is everything -And this place has tremendous variety, including a very large selection of organic fruits and vegetables. The produce staff is very friendly and obliging. The rest of the store is very good, with great selection and better-than-average prices for this area. read more

Love this grocery store. Always in stock of everything we need. Extremely clean. Very helpful and happy staff

Ralphs, Old Grove is great. The deli area is nicely stocked and the selections are good. The seafood section is minimal, but they make up for it with an nice selection of meats and an excellent wine area. Mind you, this is not like Sprouts, or Traders for seafood and meat, but for general grocery items, they have an extensive selection. The staff is always super friendly and the have always been there to help if needed. The best part is they have a check out with 4 kiosks, so you really have no wait. Compared to the local Albertsons, and Vons, this place them all beat. read more

I shop at Ralph's at least 4 times a week, sometimes just to grab a thing or 2. I like Ralph's because you find stuff there that you can't find at the other grocery stores. My problem seems to be that I always have to wait in line, because they never have more than 2 registers open. Now, that wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to check out with Alfredo. I don't know what the problem is, but he's always (and by always I mean all the time, for real) rude, or annoyed by something. I could give some examples, but here is the most recent: The other day my yogurt got behind in the belt, he though it belonged to the customers behind me, and totaled my order. Just then I noticed it, told him, he rolled his eyes, exhaled, and told me I had mixed it up with their order. Huh? He then rung it up, but punching the buttons hard. I felt so uncomfortable! I avoid him every time if he is on the registers, but sometimes I'm in such a hurry that I have to put up with it. I feel like I'm stepping in egg shells!! Let's says 'hello", put my head down, and make sure I don't do or say anything to piss him off. Am I the only one who gets treated that way by him? The world will never know... I'm still going back there though, but because of their stuff. If I want to go shopping and find great, outstanding customer service, I go to Von's. read more
