Love this place. They are remoleling.  It needed it.
Ron L.

They're finally remodeling this place. Five (HIGH $$$$guys) looking at blueprints,and......workers ripping out stuff to make room for new alignment of aisles. Cheap me...always buys those frozen 9 Tina Burritos in a box for $2.99. I get those for my lunches They have a some bargains here

This store showed professionalism and great organization, during this hectic time of shopping. With giving out tickets to the first 50 customers and blocking the toilet paper, paper towel sections, it worked out totally fine. Start opens at 8am with tickets being taken and 10-15 customers allowed in. 10am regular store hours. What I saw is that the toilet paper and paper towels are be given and when those are out, more comes to the shelves but again with organizational hand out. 1 per customer and either one or the other... hands down the best I've seen, they have enough produce as well. No eggs or milk I saw.

Luckily I didn't have to wait long line before entering. I noticed when coming out. Good to see people are obeying the 6feet distance rules. It was very organized & clean and the lady manager was very professional. (Forgot her name ) I already finished shopping & as I was coming out my husband txt me & ask me to grab some beer & wine & frozen food while I was there, so I had to go back in. I noticed that they didn't have the beer he wanted (Newcastle) But Bluemoon 12pk was on sale. So I got Bluemoon instead but when I was at the register, noticed the price wasn't the same as the sign & told the cashier. And she called the manager, she checked the newspaper ad & said there were minimum purchase to get the price. I told her that I was here couple of minutes ago & purchased & showed her the receipt. She said it had to be on 1 same transaction but she will honor it. So I got the credit back. Huge savings little over $7.00 Bucks. Good Deal!! I was pretty pleased how she handled it. It's not really about the money but the concept of customer service that made me pleased. Good Job !! & Good day that I was able to avoid the long lines going in!!

I really enjoy shopping at the Sprouts in West Covina and actually prefer this location over others…read moreI've visited. I really like the layout of the store--it's easy to navigate, well organized, and makes shopping a pleasant experience. The staff is also always friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. I'm especially excited about the new Klatch Coffee addition! Klatch is one of my preferred coffee spots, so being able to grab my favorite coffee while shopping at Sprouts makes this location even more convenient. Great store, friendly team, and now great coffee too!

Review The place…read moreitself is excellent, and the food is really good, which is why it's disappointing to say that the service needs significant improvement. The staff is extremely slow, and in my experience, there is also a lack of care when preparing the food. The employee leaned so far over the table while making the sandwiches that her clothing and body were practically over the food. I understand that everyone has different body types, but this is something that should be handled much more carefully for hygiene and food-safety reasons. On top of that, her attitude was not very friendly, which made the experience even less pleasant. It's unfortunate because the food and the place are great, but the lack of speed, cleanliness, care, and customer service really affects the overall experience. I hope this can be taken as constructive feedback and that these areas can be improved.

Awesome Japanese market, tons of things you wouldn't find anywhere else, including teas, sauces,…read moredesserts, beverages, etc. They even have a small section with various anime/japan merch before the exit along with some crane machines and games. The bathrooms are pretty clean and most of the prices are pretty reasonable. I do feel like some of the daily made food is a bit overpriced, but after 7pm, they do offer discounts. I do feel that the ambiance offers something very different than other markets as the store is usually decorated and generally feels clean, although it used to feel cleaner in the past prior to 2020. Always love visiting here from time to time, especially to get some sake. The size of this Tokyo Central is also a bit bigger than most others, but I do feel like other TC's are more modern and cleaner than this one, but you still can't go wrong here. Edit: I went today because I was in the area and the store feels much cleaner and they added a brand new sushi bar with a chef where the old anime stuff used to be. It's pretty nice and the store feels slightly refreshed. 4.5/5.

I drove all the way here to grab the good tender meat , sold at reasonable price compared to other…read moreJapanese markets. I usually grab the sliced Premium Beef and Pork. I used it for Ramen noodles soup, very tender and flavorful, just love it! I also grab a loaf of milk bread, super sift to the touch and tasted delicious when I made toast with butter or ate it alone. I also bought some frozen ramen with condiments. Easy ti make for anytime meal. It wasn't on sale, but I still grab it for convenience. They took out the section for apparel, too bad! I used to buy their cute T-shirts and hoodies. They are good quality. Oh, too bad ~~ Cashiers was pretty nice and gave us bags for my Dad's EBT. Really wish they have a Tokyo Central near us, I live to shop there!

I'll be honest, I am not a regular shopper of Vons. Not because I do not like the market. It simply…read morethat I have numerous markets closer to my home. I will add that I have visited this specific store twice and I was impressed with the cleanness of the store and impressed by how well stocked this store was on both of my visits. The female employee i encountered during both of my visits was very friendly and professional and assisted me to locate exactly what I needed.

It's Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday…read moreEverybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend... I came, I saw, I conquered the ice cream desire our household. It's also a plus when the kids nap on the way home. With the last Rite Aid in the area closed I had to find the Thrifty ice cream for the kiddos and after a quick Google search Vons carries it (virtual dance)! 4/5 Online/App I was going to buy online for pick up but needed at least $30 to avoid paying a fee so just walked in instead (get them steps in). Don't need that much ice cream in our home, or do we? Hmmm 5/5 Selection Didn't browse the aisle but everything looked fully stocked. Bakery items were decorated for Halloween as well as the pumpkins outside. Now it's time for all the Christmas decorations. 5/5 Parking There are restaurants and a pharmacy next to this location but never too many cars to find a spot. So if you need your Thirfty ice cream you know where to go. Happy Friday! Psalm 19:2, God bless

Very popular and busy supermarket…read more I have only been here twice, but I am really starting to like this market, and it may be my primary place to buy groceries, aside from Costco. The store is always well stocked and well maintained, employees are friendly and helpful, the variety of merchandise is wide, and prices are very affordable I also love that hot and cold food items are readily available, and that they offer sushi, which is very tasty.

Stater Brothers - Covina (October 9, 2026, around 7:30 PM) I…read morehad a very disappointing experience at the Stater Brothers in Covina this evening. While shopping, I briefly left my cart unattended for a moment to grab an item nearby. When I returned, the cart was gone. I searched the store thoroughly but could not locate it. As a result, I had to go back and re-select everything I had already gathered. When I reached the butcher counter, I recognized the meats I had previously selected. The butcher confirmed that a newer employee had just brought the cart back. While I understand that an unattended cart can occasionally be moved by mistake, no effort appeared to have been made to locate the customer or confirm whether the cart was truly abandoned. I was left to redo my entire shopping trip and also lost my reusable bags, which were in the cart, forcing me to purchase replacements at checkout. What made the experience significantly worse was the interaction with the cashier, Jennifer. When I explained what had happened and noted that my reusable bags were missing, she was dismissive and unprofessional. Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience or assisting, she repeatedly blamed me, defended her coworkers, and lectured me on how I should shop in the future. When I stated that this had never happened to me before, her tone became more condescending. It felt as though she was more focused on performing for the other employees nearby than resolving the situation or showing basic customer service. I understand that leaving a cart momentarily is not ideal, but the lack of any attempt to locate the owner, combined with the cashier's belittling and defensive response after I had already spent extra time re-shopping, left me frustrated. This was not the level of service I expect from Stater Brothers. I hope management will address this with the staff involved so other customers do not have a similar experience.

TJs is on my rotation of grocery stores. I have a primary market to buy the basic essentials, but…read moreI switch and have places to buy specialty items. TJs carries their own brand that cannot be found in other stores. Their produce, dairy, bread, meats are primarily organic grown/made. The most sought-after item is their TOTE BAGS! They are made of denim, good for taking your lunch or snacks. It has an outer pocket and different color straps/handle. When they are released, there is a limit of four per customer. Be prepared to wait in line, but do not delay, they are guaranteed to sell out. The employees are the nicest and most friendliest of all grocery stores I have ever been you. It's easy to see they "like" their job and value the customers. You can buy flowers, ready made salads, canned and frozen foods, cookies, ice cream, and greeting cards at a bargain price, etc. The infamous TWO BUCK CHUCK wine is now three dollars, still a good value. On this visit I was pleasantly surprised to see Pumpkin Wine! I chilled it at home, it tastes like spiced cider. They also sell their own brand of Mexican beer, cleverly named Trader Jose (available in Dark or Light brew). It tastes just as good as the competitors. Sincerely, Rosemary

This location is always a great stop! The store is clean, organized, and well-stocked sometimes…read more.. i prefer going here on weekday mornings to avoid the crowds. The staff is friendly and helpful, and checkout is usually quick and efficient. I also love that the prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of the products. There's always something new or seasonal to discover. Overall, this is a convenient and close location for me but I prefer La Verne location. Bigger store and better selections.
