Long H.

This is my favorite traders joes location. Staff here always nice and willing to help. Prices are reasonable, produces are fresh, items are always full. If you don't see something, the workers will go into the back and look for it or will let you know when the next shipment will come in. Parking can be tough at times during peak hours, does get crowded as well. I typically shop at night, a few hrs before closing time on the weekdays to avoid the crowds. As of April 2026, my favorite new item is the garlic butter mixed nuts, absolutely delicious and a must get! I also currently like the banana pudding ice cream.

2 pink, 2 blue (limit 4)

If you want to get your hands on the Mini Pastel Canvas Tote Bag for $2.99, get there when they first open at 8 AM because they will sell out by 830 AM (limit 4). It looks like the most popular colors are pink and lavender, although I grabbed pink and blue. They will release a limited supply every day this week. However with each passing day, the demand is less so I guess by Friday, the line won't be so long. Shout out to Craig. He is the nicest crew member I have met at this Trader Joe's location (in 5 Points Plaza). When I stopped by on Monday 3/16, he immediately knew I was looking for the tote bags. Craig informed me they got a surprise drop over the weekend but didn't receive any that day. He told me to swing by the next day because they more are expected.

One star because of the cashier I had today. This was an older female cashier with dark hair. She had an attitude. Shocking Trader Joe's has this type of person working there. This happened today September 10 at 2pm. Awful person.

We stopped to get some salads. The store was extremely busy. Organize, neat, clean. Nate was our cashier and he was very considerate. He offer us utensils which was excellent. Highly recommended

So good you can't eat just 1.

My new favorite addiction are the tortilla rolls chips they have! It's a gluten free friendly version of "Takis" but tastes so much better! I like to stock up on them, one time I went and my bag was overflowing with chips that the paper bag handles ripped off. A really busy employee stopped what he was doing and helped me pick all my chip bags up from the floor and gave me a new bag! What an amazing customer service. Thank you for helping me!

MOLDY old Trader J.'s pistachios
Jessica B.

Nice people and service, but their pistachios are all MOLDY. I can't even believe they DO sell such a bad quality MOLDY old stale pistachios. Time to change the provider!

Today I went to Trader Joe's. I wanted to buy reusable shopping bags. The kind young man A.Thom at the register told me there was a limit of three, and if you bought three, you would get one free -- so you were allowed to take a fourth bag. When I got home, I saw that I only had three. My daughter had asked me to buy them so she could take them to her cousins in another country, and since she has four cousins, I needed to buy four bags. So I had to drive back. I thought maybe I had forgotten one at the register. When I returned, the cashier had changed. They took me to the manager. The manager Shawn said there was no such promotion, that he would not give me one I forgot at the register, and that I could either buy another one or return the three I had purchased. I said, "But that's what I was told." Maybe the cashier was mistaken, but at that moment I believed I was entitled to take four. Also, this Trader Joe's is 25 minutes from my home. If I was just going to buy that one bag, I could have gone somewhere only 5 minutes away. I said, "Did I really come all this way for nothing?" The manager's attitude embarrassed me. He acted as if I was lying. If I were going to lie, I would have said I bought three and only went home with two. Besides, I am Muslim. It is Ramadan, and I am fasting. Why would I lie for $3.99? I was truly very hurt. In the end, I paid and bought one more. But I found his behavior very rude. He said he would ask the cashier the next day. I don't want to put the cashier in a difficult position. Maybe he was mistaken. But I found the manager's behavior very unpleasant. I won't be shopping at Trader Joe's for a while. It will take me time to get over this Today I went to Trader Joe's. I wanted to buy reusable shopping bags.

I loved buying flowers at the Trader Joe's . Fantastic store. A bit of everything that's healthy and wholesome. Huge variety of foods and foodstuffs, note that everything I've had tastes great. Both organic and regular. Easy shopping, very helpful staff. Decent prices. Highly recommended.

If you're a Japanese fans--this place is for you. My Japanese products always last longer and better quality. More than a decade coming here and planning to come here as long as I am able to. Food Court! Amazing! Delicious! Never disappoint! Lunch hour is BUSY and every table is taken. Parking is tight. They have varieties of Japanese food and drinks in here. There are other stores in here as well selling toys, books, etc. Parking is tight on weekends and lunch hours every day. There are more parkings underneath the store. You just have to turn left after passing the front of the store.

The parking lot…read moreis quite small, and there was active construction at the entrance during my visit, which made the area noisy and a little difficult to navigate. Having been to other Mitsuwa locations, especially the one in Torrance, I found this store to be very cramped and dark by comparison. I also had trouble finding many of the items I normally buy at Mitsuwa--they simply didn't seem to be stocked on the shelves. The prepared foods were another disappointment. The selection didn't seem nearly as appealing or extensive as what I've found at the Torrance location. I ended up picking up a few things, but was surprised to find that they were more expensive than similar items at another Japanese grocery store in the area, which I visited afterward. Overall, I'd choose the Torrance location over Irvine based on this visit. The Irvine store just didn't have the selection, atmosphere, or value I've come to expect from Mitsuwa.

The parking lot is vast, there are a lot of other shopping opportunities in the plaza as well as places to eat. The store is always clean and well stocked. Staff is always helpful & there are self-checkouts on both sides of the store with helpers on hand. The reason for the five stars is their clearance! I always scout the deli section for Boars head items, as well as the hot foods. There is typically day old baked and fried chicken at 50% off. Great for a quick bite for my boys & our wacky sports schedule. Most clearance items expire within a week. I've bought bacon and froze it & it defrosts and cooks perfectly fine.

I come to Ralphs for specific products and they don't even have them because they are so bad at taking stock of their inventory, or ordering more of items that sell out consistently every week. Also, I don't know if it's standard practice at all Ralph's locations or all grocery stores, but they don't serve hot chickens until 11:00 a.m., which is ridiculous given that they open at 6:00 a.m. and plenty of people do their shopping early in the morning. Why don't they just do them in two batches each day? This store is being run by people who don't understand how customers work and who don't understand how to run a business.
