This Ralph store has self checkout station and also regular cashier line as well. Be aware that there no butcher for the meat, it's mainly seafood so all the meat are already prepackaged. The produce area is on the right side of the store and the soda are toward the left side where the bakery is as well. When I come to this grocery store, they usually have security at the entrance. It's nicely organized inside and sometime they do some nice decorations with certain items.

The produce and fruit prices here is unbeatable. They always have variety of things on sale specially their top sellers. Let's say cucumbers cost over $2.50 a pound in other markets and here it's almost always 99c a pound. Today I was surprised to see a 10 lbs bag of potatoes for $1.29 now that's crazy. Even though I don't buy non organic potatoes it's a great price for people that do. Apples 79c peaches 1.29 a pound which I stocked up on to freeze once they are ripe. I got bags of cherries for $1.29 a pound. Sweet and juicy cherries. I especially love the bulk section of dried fruits and nuts here. I always buy the dried fruits that are imported from Armenia such as sour plum, peach, apricots, pears and more. Love it They carry a wide selection of imported rice, legumes, pastas, olives etc.... Two isles of bread from pita to lavash to tortillas to ciabatta and more. The deli is amazing but I'm not crazy about the meat department. Customer service is average for a supermarket and finding parking here is always challenging. Overall a great place to shop for food specially for large families that want to save a bit of money.

I was faced with this Rude employee named Martin who tells me flat out that the employees of the store or at least Martin is not about Customer Service or the customers needs. Earlier I had walked by the tangerine booth. I saw that the bin was empty. I went over to Martin and ask him where are the tangerines located he pointed where they were. I looked over and I said the bin was empty and if they can fill it. Non-responsibly he struck his shoulders so I walked over to produce Manager and asked can they bring out fresh tangerines since the bin was empty. He said fine in 10 minutes. I continued with my shopping and 20 minutes later I came in and the bin was still empty so I went over to Martin and as I couldn't find the produce manager, I asked can they fill the bin he says when I get around to it so I walked over, found the produce manager, and I asked for the tangerines to be filled. The produces Manager went and ask Martin to do that. exactly 2 minutes later he walks up to the tangerine bin and tells me why did you go and asked the mgr for Tangerines? I told you I will get to it when I get to it. I told him that I had a doctors appointment that I've been waiting for 20 minutes and I'd like to finish my shopping to which he responded well we don't work around the customers schedule we work whenever we want to. This has left such a bad taste in my mouth and so contrary to my experience in Northridge. I hope the store manger pays attention to Martin and his lack of customer service attitude.

Vendors were in their stalls preparing for the Saturday-Sunday event, but they weren't selling today. So bummed! We looked across the street and saw the sign for Pratunum. Unassuming, so I checked Yelp and asked hubby if we could stop by and see what they had since I've never been to a Thai market and wanted a seasoning packet to make Pad Krapow at home. So glad we stopped in! We received the friendliest greeting from (did he say his name was Tom?) and he couldn't have been more helpful! He didn't have the exact thing I wanted but told me where in East Hollywood I could find it.. and walked me to an aisle to show me alternatives. We had a lovely visit, talked about restaurants, he was telling me how hard it is to find Holy Basil for sale in the SFV but said it's easy to grow and gave me a snipping! I'm pretty excited to start a plant. The store is immaculate. The shelves are neat, and it's well lit. Their prices are so fair, too! I will most definitely return to visit again!

They probably only carry a handful of things or perhaps they were sold out of a lot of things for the holidays, not sure! There was maybe 1 worker up front and a few shoppers who seemed like regulars since they were chatting in Thai with the worker. This spot is located across the Thai Temple and has a very small parking lot. The lot also has a one way in, one way out and some of the spots are marked for certain businesses, especially the market! We picked up a few instant noodles that we still have yet to try but also grabbed some bottled refrigerated drinks. Basically everything here is Thai which was really cool since we rarely see and products from there! Can't wait to try the noodles, the coconut drink we tried was very good but also very much on the sweeter side, but worth trying! IG: @ammysalamii

He literally said in his own words, "You're lucky I didn't ask for your receipt!" Like that's so rude! He also doesn't hide that he is racially profiling us by the way he tries to speak to us to make sure we aren't robbing, in example he asked us if we have tamales or something along the line because we are Hispanic?

Ambience: one table to sit and enjoy your purchase if you got a yummy cold pressed juice, smoothie, or a cold or hot snack or meal. Small boutique grocery store meets food mart.

I picked up a few items tonight, and one item missed the mark. * The Bad -- Hard Rice: The pickled pear baked salmon onigiri had a tough, dry texture. * Food : The package label showed the rice ball was already three days old. * High Price: It cost nearly $7 for stale food that I could not finish. Their prices are high. Head to the Valley's Japanese grocery store like Mitsuwa in Northridge for sushi or a Korean grocery store like Greenland Market in Van Nuys for prepared food made the same day at lower prices. The Good: * The spam musubi was made the same day and tasted fresh. * The butter mochi was delicious. Final Thoughts: I expected fresh food made that morning. Selling three-day-old rice balls at this price is unacceptable. I will not return because they sell items past their prime. I would not buy their sushi based on my experience as it might be old as well.

This is very specific. There's a dark pregnant woman with short dark hair as a cashier. She seems to be pregnant. I'm positive she is because the motive was based on her irritation due to? Idk, I was in line. She was helping a customer which I was patient to begin with. I have worked customer service in my 20s so I get it. I'm a mother and I understand how to be patient overall. Anyway, the people in front of me were annoyed on how long this woman was taking to help a customer. These people were making sounds and faces. Meanwhile I'm behind, minding my own business. Jolly, singing and talking to my husband. Two customers are rang at this point and when I'm finally next. No issue, all smiles and happy. The lady randomly tells me to relax and take a few steps back with major attitude and uncalled for. I was in line and moving up to make space for the next customer because they needed space to put their groceries. I wasn't even close to the next customer or register. Idk what the issue was? It was bizarre. Where was this energy with the two men before me when they made a fuss about it? Whatever stress she was feeling was projected onto me. She was very unprofessional and sorry to say, the ghetto in her came out. There's NO excuse to be that rude due to hormones or pregnancy. I've worked with people before. Take that rage elsewhere or maybe don't work and be all grumpy. I thanked the younger kid bagging my items. But this woman was unbearable. I could've said something but because I saw her bump, due to respect- which she lacked. I didn't say a word. This generation excuses behaviors like this due to being a woman. I'm a woman and I don't agree with crap behavior. Regardless of mental health and pregnancy. Been there. Do better. read more

I came into this Ralph's for a quick shopping trip to grab a couple things. I don't generally shop at Ralph's or any of the big brand name carrying grocery stores, but I figured because it was only a couple things it wouldn't kill me to not get it from whole foods. WRONG, first off let me say this does not reflect this location or Ralph's as a company but rather the patrons of this location specifically. As I was trying to decide which kindof soft cheese I should get based on which one would give me less gas, my chain of thought was abruptly cut short when a man running top speed bumped into me very hard. Apparently he had been lining his pockets with deli meat samples, enough to complete entire pounds of almost 6 different varieties. As well as had three different kinds of cheese wheels down his pants, which explained his inability to run and avoid me as an obstacle making his dash for the door. So anyway the security takled him and beat him up pretty bad, he wasn't moving when they dragged him to the back but as they were removing the cheese wheels from his pants I told myself whatever wheel they pull out last would be the deciding choice for myself and my cheesy situation, to my delight they pulled a big wheel of Brie from his track pants and for a second I fell in love with a man who probably doesn't know what it feels like to be loved...anyway I think he might be dead now but he wasn't that cute, lol my friends are so right, I'm always finding true love in truely the wrong places!! read more

Literally the security makes it so uncomfortable to shop specially when he is only targeting Hispanic women and children. I saw the security guard follow the teenager with his little brother. Not because they were stealing or unsafe but because he whispered to my husband " those are the type you need to be careful with, they grow up to be thugs". Then he proceeded to demand he sees the mother's receipt because supposedly the shopping cart set off the alarm, when it was because the teenager got stuck between the doors near the bakery section and proceeded to harass the family and threaten to call child services. Followed and also said "what gang are you from?!" We love shopping at this particular location but it makes it uncomfortable to watch members of our communities to be treated horribly by a security who most likely does not live in the area. read more

I like this Ralphs.. everyone that works there is friendly and helpful. It's always clean and well-stocked. They have a great organic section and although I have noticed items out of stock in the organic produce section such as cilantro and green onions they typically have some really beautiful dandelion greens and fresh herbs and a good selection of fruit and other produce so I commend them for that. Their Simple Truth organic products are usually a good price and readily available. There's always parking and it's located in a very nice shopping Center. read more

Approached this one older man and asked him if he could make me a bowl of Poke, he said no, you have to do it yourself and as I was still talking, he kept walking away from me. I approached him and said"I am talking to you and you keep walking away from me". That is rude and unprofessional. He didn't even apologize. His name was Mario in the seafood department. Poke looked very fresh along with all the other toppings and ingredients. Just by looking at it, it was super OVERWHELMING! He had nothing else to do, because he had both of his hands behind his back and just walking around. If he wanted to to help me, then he would have. This was on the morning of 7/17/26 a little before 9AM. On the other hand, Tony, who worked the Sushi Bar, in the same seafood department, saw what happened and apologized on Mario's behalf. The fridge for Sushi and other ready made fish items was EMPTY. Tony asked me what is it that he can do/make for me? I replied Spicy Tuna roll. He even wanted to know how many pieces? I told him 8. Right away he went back into the kitchen and made me what I have requested. For 8 pieces was only (12.99). Not a bad price. Came back and handed me the Sushi. Got home and tasted the food and it was very fresh and delicious. Next aisle that I visited was their frozen section. Needed to buy few waffles. There were 2 guys, that absolutely refused to help me. Wouldn't even let me speak. So, I looked around and found the waffles that I was NOT looking for. I wanted the Belgian Waffles and didn't see any. Got the Vans brand Power Grain Protein waffles, and gluten free Original Waffles. So for 4 waffles together came out to be $18.89 with tax. Next disappointment was, went to check out and there was no one at the registers. Waited for like 5 minutes, until this woman came and turned the light on for register # 4. Couldn't catch her name. Store was in a very nice condition, very clean, and fully stocked. They have everything from A to Z. Nice music was playing overhead. They have a very nice, big, 2 sections of patio/outside seating and every now and then, if you are lucky, you may find some items from everywhere that is on sale!
