Every time I go to Smart and final, I have a wonderful experience. They came a long way the vegetables look fresh and it also have a sushi station/fresh salsa/guacamole. There's one produce man that I don't know his name but he picked the best watermelon for me. And there is one cashier share that I love daily. She gives me the best customer service ever. She's the one with the beautiful gray hair. read more

Horrible I have gotten in 3 different lines because they are so slow. This is not the place I normally go to but wow talk about slow workers. Energy is horrible I asked who is it taking so long ? No one has an answer I asked can I go to self check out even if I have more since no one's line is really moving. They said no. I will not recommend this place to anyone only because I am charging my car here is why I came in. I waited 20 min to check out . On a Monday afternoon read more

I had a very disappointing experience at the Smart & Final in Montebello. I purchased a container of pre-cut watermelon, and when I opened it, I found bugs inside. It was disgusting and completely unacceptable. I had to throw the entire container away. I expect fresh, safe food when buying pre-cut fruit, especially since it's ready to eat. I hope the store improves its quality control and food safety procedures so this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

I get to charge my car while I shop and also their sushi is freshly made every day and it's better than at an actual restaurant. I love my local store read more

Smart N Final always has everything I need plus more. Their staff is always friendly and super helpful if you need assistance with anything. They recently had a Grand Reopening and they moved a lot of items around and added some Self-Checkout lanes. I've always liked self checkout because sometimes I'm only here for a few items and it saves a lot of time. If you need help finding something, the staff is always there to help. The produce is always fresh, items.always in stock, and they even have fresh sushi thats really good! 10/10 grocery store for sure. Also, almost forgot to mention this but this location has a sprawling Tesla Supercharging station with probably about 100 stations. read more

I have really never in my life seen something like this nor am I one to write negative reviews because I am in the retail industry too and I have the patience of a saint but I had to just speak out on my experience today. The girl working the first register JULIANA girl are you okay??? I have never seen someone bag groceries that slow. And I'm not saying a tired slow I mean a purposefully slow that is meant to piss you off. TEN MINUTES TO RING UP ONE PERSON?? When you have like five people in line? Insane. Not just that but on your phone texting WHILE WERE ALL STARING AT YOU WAITING FOR YOU TO PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE???? I have never seen something like that, I assumed she had perhaps a mental or physical disability but she should not be at a register like that. WOW read more

We just moved to the area and it is so nice having this smart n final nearby. I was surprised they even had a few Asian items as well! This place is clean, produce is fresh and service is great. Sometimes the registers do get backed up so a tad bit of a wait but never for very long. They also have plenty of parking as well. read more

MY BBB REVIEW: 04/05/2026 1:53 p.m. Purchased Farmer John's for $14.99 each. I had two coupons for $10.00 off from the manufacturer. So I brought someone to go shopping with to make two purchases. The assistant at self checkout didn't listen to anything I said, overcharged us and removed us from line. I'm so upset there are no words, I was charged three times. Contacted Smart&Final several times about concerns. They have not contacted me or done anything to resolve the issue. Paid double I am constantly overcharged and getting bad grocery. PLEASE VIEW IMAGES BUGS MOLD & MORE read more

Clean, organized grocery store. Reasonable prices. And carts are stocked outside. Nice employees.

The sushi. Continues to be excellent. Fresh, artfully crafted. Hard to believe I found great sushi at this supermarket. It's a relatively new offering. And the Japajese themed faux lacquered trays are beautiful. Easy to pull off the price stickers and wirh a little light cleaning turn then into cool trays to hold jewelry, and other knick knacks. Highly recommend!! read more

Usually, I shop in-store, but with it being so close to Christmas, I wanted to avoid the crowds. Understanding that stores are busier than usual, I decided to place an online Pick Up order for convenience. Unfortunately, this experience was the complete opposite of convenient, and I will no longer use Pick Up at this location. I would rather deal with the crowd than go through this online process again. First, the system does not notify you when items are out of stock, nor does it offer substitutions. If an item is unavailable, it is simply left out of the order without any notification. There is no message asking if you would like a replacement, and you aren't informed that the item is out of stock at all. You only realize something is missing once you get home. Even the online receipt does not reflect updates clearly. The only way to notice is when your card is charged a lower amount, which then forces you to go back into the store feeling confused and inconvenienced. My main concern, however, was the pickup process itself. The app indicated that my order was ready. I pulled into the pickup spot, marked that I had arrived, and entered my parking spot number. I waited in my car for 20-25 minutes, and no one came out. I eventually had to walk into the store to let them know I had been waiting. I was told my order was ready, yet no one was on their way to bring it out. There was no apology or acknowledgment, and it seemed like this was a common occurrence. I then asked to speak with the manager, Daniel, whom I explained my concerns with specifically about waiting 20 minutes after being notified that my order was ready. When I mentioned that I had to come inside despite selecting drive-up pickup, he appeared confused and simply responded with "okay," stating it was probably a service issue. The interaction made me feel like I was the inconvenience. I understand that some issues may be outside of his control, especially if the service is handled by a third party however, there should be still "sorry for the inconvenience it's a known issues that we have (or will bring up) with or higher ups) sometimes feeling apologetic and understanding helps when interacting with customers especially if you're in management. The only reason I'm giving it three stars because I do understand that online processes are out of some retail's control so the store it's self read more

4/09. They closed at store at 8:30... posted signs are 10. They refused service of many. Waste of time & gas!!

Avoid this place, nothing healthy and all of it is processed, GMO, will just keep your family unhealthy

Everything is cleaned organized calm , great deals , and the service from the cashier Marayah was awesome she has a great personality very friendly and also very funny . I love when I go somewhere and the service is so awesome , she is great made my end of shopping great . read more

Used to be such a great convenient store but since the grand re opening and installing the self check it's been more inefficient. They should go back to have at least 1-2 checkout lines open and maybe expand the self check area and make it actually easy to use. They took away the bags until after you scan everything. read more

OMG....awful!!! One star because it's close to our home. My husband ordered online to pick up dinner, he was told it would be ready at 3:00...he gets there, waits until 3:50 only to be told that they haven't started his order!!! WTF?!?! incompetence at its finest!! How completely awful and just plain wrong!!! Wasting peoples time is not ok! He canceled the order and left! Awful POS place! read more

Actually, I walked in to use the Wells Fargo ATM and decided well, let me see if there is anything I need for the house. It was about 10am, the store was clean, cool and already busy. After thinking about what I needed which were clear 24oz or pint cups for to go food or soups.. I walked to the restaurant supply aisle. Sadly, they did not have what I was looking for but they did have a good selection of restaurant supply stuff. I would say if you own a small restaurant business and don't have Restaurant Depot, Costco Business accounts then this place will do. Also, If your throwing a party and need food, seasonings or supplies Smart and Final is a good option. read more

Ive been a customer at the Montebello store for over 20 years and let me just say their staff has always been friendly and helpful. However, this new self-checkout system is horrible. It's a pain in the butt and very time consuming when you have lots of times and no other registers are manned, specially looking up produce. In addition, the space designated for the self-checkout is horrible. As much as I hate to say it, if there are no employees working a register, I'll just walk out and go somewhere else. read more

This store is very organized and clean. It's open very early so we can stop by before going to work. Things tend to be on the more expensive side here, so I usually come for the good deals. read more

I called to inquire about purchasing small packets of mayo & mustard; the lady who answered briefly put me on hold & within a few seconds another lady answered & asked me in detail what I needed. Well, she checked physically & gave me breakdown on other brands available & their price ranges. And yes, they were in stock! I have to acknowledge & compliment this store & its staff for their great customer service & their thorough follow thru! We need them periodically when bringing sandwiches to friends; reliefs the waste of large condiment containers specially mayo if there's no refrigeration available... Of course, I Immediately went there & purchased them! The store is always clean, organized & well kept. These people are so nice! So, for your specialty store needs- don't forget about Smart & Final in beautiful City of Montebello! Thank You read more

This store is always hit and miss with product today. I went in for rye bread one day before St. Patrick's Day and they had plenty of corned beef. Unfortunately they had zero rye bread. How do you expect us to shop at your location? If you don't stock enough product to meet our needs Very disappointing. read more

Not a bad smart and final. The store itself is structured like your typical s and f store. This one has a smaller selection of specialty items. For example, there weren't many options for wing and teriyaki sauces. Overall the store was roomy, and service was friendly. The store was well stocked with prices visible. Minus one star for parking. I had to go in circles to get a spot on the lot. read more

Never again ordering from there delivery to home services. They don't have half the things and second they don't pay attention to detail two of my things marked as if they were added never got them! Han C you did a terrible job! read more

I feel like I go to different markets all the time. I don't know why but I just end up going and getting random things that I just thought of that day. Today I thought of going and getting clam juice. Yes I know it is a little strange and I did hear from a friend that clam juice at Smart and Final is only about $3.50 for a large bit can. So I wanted it and I decided to go and get it and this is where I ended up..the Montebello Smart and Final. This is a pretty new one considering that you have to think about parking. The parking lot is a little bit on a small side but I don't come here on weekends so it was pretty empty. Walking around the isles were super clean and very organized which I love and I did find the clam juice and it was at a very very great price! read more

This is my monthly stop for stocking up on my drinks and snacks. They always have some kind of specials on drinks or cheese or whatever else you might need. The manager is a darling and helped me find some snacks and offered to special order stuff for me if I can't find it. The layout changes once in a while though so you have to read the signs on the aisles to navigate but the convenience and prices are great. The parking lot is huge and they have alcohol wipes for the shopping carts for the pandemic. read more

Use to only buy for parties & large gatherings but more and more find myself shopping on a regular basis @ this location. Sams club & Costco have such large packaging, many times end up throwing away a lot of product. Smart & Final offers me a choice of packaging/pricing on many products. Love the options. AND...the roasted chicken is juicy, plumper & taster than the competition by far! read more

I always shop in here weakly and never had a problem but today I decided to say hello to my cousin who lives in the apartments next to it and didn't even spent 30 min in there, my surprise the security guard called the police to give me a ticket as soon as he saw me going there cause I even got to see how they were putting the ticket in my car, the officer told me that in the call they were told that the car was there all day which I laughed because it was less than 30 min and, so annoying that they do that, I won't ever again come here to make my weakly shopping they lost a frequent customer just for that read more

FUI when u use the organic bag to pack fruits or vege watch out !

There's no sign to show how to use different kind of bag !!!! Absolutely misleading consumers. Feel bad for seniors specially read more

This Smart & Final is a bit of a hidden gem. On Wednesday's, they have their meats discounted. You can find a really good deal on steaks, chicken or fish by checking out the meat display case on the lower right hand side. It's labeled "Reduced for Quick Sale" since the freshness date is about to expire. (Make sure you mention that at the checkout too!). You can also find great deals on sliced bread and bakery items which have been reduced for quick sale. Again, I suspect their freshness date is approaching expiration which is why they are drastically discounted. Nonetheless, the items are still fresh and edible. Just eat them fast! My favorite items to purchase are the rotisserie chicken under the heat lamps and the HUGE gallon of sugar free Vanilla liquid coffee creamer. CONS: The store closes at 10:00p.m! This is a perfect shopping place for your Sunday morning brunch. Recommended! read more

So from reading all the,negative reviews I've gathered that customer service is not a priority at this location. Where / how or maybe IF these cashiers get any type of customer service training.. Apparently not! One,might guess that the hiring mananger hires n throws these cashiers at a register .. For one SERGIO today waa not too happy about being at his job. Or Maybe he just doesnt like it at all or just doesnt like dealing with people .. Maybe he should,request to be placed in the back somewhere away from the customers. Let me,just tell u something SERGIO (I hope u read this) when a paying customer (side note, thanks to us paying customers u have a job) asks for help finding something is because they need the help n your "go find it in isle 5" response is not proper customer service.. Thanks but no thanks.. After a long day, dealing with shitty customer service is the last thing I'd like to deal with.. Id rather drive the extra mile to a different location n hopefully theirs is better.. ELA one has by far put this location to shame so far.. Guess I will make it a point to stop at that one from,now on.. Too bad this thing forces u to give a star or,wont let u post.. Because this location deserves ZERO stars read more
