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

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.

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

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!

I couldn't find BBSauce and asked a young lady if I was "just not seeing it 'cause I am old as dirt." Anyway, Crystal stepped up, and the hunt for the B-B sauce was afoot. OH NO TJs was out of my favorite bar- b-q sauce. She asked If I would like her to take a look out back, and I said that was very kind but not to worry, I am in the store a lot. Anyway, I make it to check out, and as I am getting ready to pay, guess who shows up with my B-B-Sauce? Some guy named Cliff..........Nooooo NOT TRUE! , it was my new Rock Star Crystal who went the distance to help a senior citizen. And it was one of the few times I didn't bring Chloe......... most of the TJs team has met Chloe a time or 2 or 3 Thanks, Crystal............ who says shopping can't be fun!

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.

I know all Walmarts have a standard staple items for their stores and groceries stores. However, all states and cities always stock some kind of local things specific to the area. Like the local coffee beans or honey as an example. For that, I am the crazy person who looks for that! This store sells everything. You can find the meat department, dairy, vegetables/fruits, bakery, drinks, pastas/rice, frozen, candy, miscellaneous household items and much more!!! The aisles seemed spacious. Overall, a great experience! The store was clean and stocked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Ample parking. My better half bought some things for family. We found some specialty coffee beans and spices. I only purchased drinks for our room.

I receive the foregoing w/ a Walmart+ membership via a credit card. I was intrigued by Aloha bars: A Hawaiian co offering plant based, sugar free, high protein bars. However, Amazon was selling them in 12 packs for $3/bar. I didn't see any stores selling individual bars. But I did see that Walmart was selling them for $2/bar in 5 packs. In addition, I could receive the bars the same day w/ free delivery. I ended up liking the bars and will buy more. Nonetheless, I will buy them from Walmart bc the price is cheaper vs Amazon, and Walmart offers the bars in smaller packs.

I discovered this place while helping a friend look for a Tesla Supercharger. Right off the 405 on…read moreWarner Ave there is a Vietnamese market called Mekong Supermarket inside the plaza. The store itself is smaller if you compare it with places like Shun Fat Westminster Superstore or Hòa Bình supermarket. There is only one checkout counter and the staff all seem to be Vietnamese. After walking around, they pretty much have all the basics covered. The focus is Vietnamese and Southeast Asian ingredients and sauces. They have their own seafood and meat counter with number tags where you can ask them to clean or cut fish, plus a small deli to go section. I also noticed their delivery vehicle outside that says wholesale, so it seems like they also supply restaurants in the area. Overall it feels like a neighborhood market that also does some wholesale business. The fresh section looked clean and there was no strong smell. I happened to see ground pork on sale for $2.49 per pound. The regular price was $2.79. Of course I had just paid $3.99 per pound earlier that day at 99 Ranch in Irvine because I wanted convenience. While we were there, a Vietnamese lady next to us was buying a big pile of meat and seafood and chatting with us while waiting for it to be cut. She said she always shops here. She ended up buying the last of the ground pork in the display. We asked if there was any left and the butcher said he had more in the back, so we immediately decided to grab two pounds. I think this place is perfect if you do not want to push a cart around a huge store and just need to pick up a few items quickly. They are open until 8pm. Next time I have more time I will come back and explore a bit more to see what other interesting things they carry.

It used to be another supermarket here, but they changed ownerships…read more Parking can get a little bit hectic here since there are a lot of Tesla superchargers everywhere. So if you need charge and also get groceries, this is where you'd wanna go. Selection wise everything is pretty fresh. They also have a lot of prepared Vietnamese foods as well which is nice. Lighting seems a lot brighter here compared to the other place. I think the vegetables can be a little bit more expensive compared to some other places, but if you don't want to go all the way up to Garden Grove or Westminster, this is a nice alternative.

So for those who love eating a lot of greens and variety, I definitely recommend it. It's also a good store when you just need to pick up small items like milk, eggs, or vegetables. Their fruits and vegetables are cheaper than Trader Joe's. They also often carry halal organ meats like liver and chicken hearts. Some items can be a bit overpriced, but the fruits and vegetables are definitely worth buying - they taste like they're straight from the garden. The downside is that you should be careful while choosing berries - sometimes there can be mold (though this can happen in any store). And that there's a credit card processing fee. However, despite a few drawbacks, I'm giving it 5 stars because their business is really valuable, and I wish them continued success and prosperity. I definitely recommend stopping by - there are always many interesting and tasty things to find at affordable prices. The cashiers are also very kind and friendly, thanks for the service!

The salads on display were large portions and more than we needed. We ended up with a great tasting vegetarian friendly Hommus. At the checkout I was greeted with a smile by Donna. The staff I encountered in the store are similarly friendly. I got my change and made a promise to myself to return to Mother's.
