    Inside
    Ranjan P.

    Never met a T.J.'s I didn't love. It's a treasure trove of goodies, edible and non. We moved to S.M. and went here for the first time. It's just like the one I'm used to in Millbrae. Full of yummy stuff, customer service stellar and warm, never phoning it in. We went in practically every aisle and knocked it out of the park. Whether it's ready to eat salads and sandwiches or their frozen aisle and my favorite beverage these days, their rose sparkling green tea concoction, which given I don't drink alcohol but love the taste, I swear this stuff tastes like fermentation in a can Ala beer. The store is neat and clean, spacious, but not overly so, which is why I hate going to warehouses type places like Costco, god forbid, where you need to rife around in a cart or scooter. This is a more compact shop. It has a restroom in the back. A little floral department, and though I didn't see it, I'm sure it also has the requisite samples station. It's such a bummer that T.J's stopped their coffee samples, which I adored. Parking is easy and free in their shared lot.

    Screw removed from French baguette
    Ben L.

    This is not meant to bash this store or products, because I frequent here and enjoy TJs....but I had an interesting surprise when I went to cut my French baguette today after grocery shopping. I'll post photos but the end of the baguette had a screw stuck in the loaf!! Quality insurance failed here and the screw must have fell in the batter prior to baking! WILD! I checked the rest of the loaf and there doesn't appear to be any more hardware items present! Please check your food items - you never know! It's five stars to the market location, but one star to the bakery!

    Cheddar cheese

    I really love this Trader Joe's. I come here once a week to shop for the family and am able to pick up all the normal stuff plus great frozen food options. The staff at the store is overwhelmingly friendly and helpful whenever I ask where I can find something. Some of my favorite items to pick up here are eggs, Boursin cheese, triple cream brie cheese with mushrooms, frozen soup dumplings, and frozen chicken tikka masala samosas. This store is a gem and really saves a ton on the monthly grocery bill!

    Mangled corned beef brisket.
    Dennis M.

    We bought a corneb beef brisket yesterday. It was vaccuum seeled. It looked like a nice piece of the point. Jen soaked it for me last night. The plan was to smoke it. I pulled it out and have never seen such an example of terrible butchery. I will never buy a corned beef from them again. This is not going to cook well.

Their sashimi selection is incredibly fresh, beautifully cut, and perfectly packaged to-go. I'm a huge fan of their tuna--especially the otoro, chutoro, and akami--but you honestly can't go wrong with their salmon, uni, or any of their other fresh fish selections. Their hot food section is just as impressive and made fresh daily. Whether it's chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, sushi bowls, nigiri, chicken karaage, or grilled salmon, everything hits the spot and tastes homemade. What really makes this place special is the family behind it. You'll almost always see Ken, Shu, Misako, or their mother Ryuko, and they make the whole experience feel welcoming and authentic. And if you're into whiskey or just a casual drinker, keep an eye out for their selection--they occasionally carry rare bottles like Yamazaki and Hakushu, which are getting harder to find these days. Overall, Suruki is a gem in San Mateo. Quality, freshness, and great people--what more can you ask for?

They have a cheese department that they pair with the wine department and can suggest various combinations for get-togethers and intimate dining. I love their hot bar for takeout and their deli can make handmade sandwiches that are second to none. I'm so glad this grocery store is in town and would recommend it to anybody who likes food as well as likes to cook. Speaking of sandwiches, it's not unheard of to go in there for lunch have them make a turkey or roast beef sandwich, get a side and then on the way out there's a Jamba Juice right next-door. Make my day!

She took me after she got my from the airport and it lived up to the hype. We did a little grocery shopping for my stay and it was so refreshing. We got veggies, breakfast, fancy cheese, and ready meals. It was a cute small spot for the town it was in! I was pleased with the amazing ready meals we got. I got a salmon dish on top of rice with zucchini. It was so good and I wish I had a piazza's near me. I love the Brie cheese we got with the fig jam. I got some of my fav sparkling water too which was nice!It has definitely inspired me to find some of my own. The service there was great too! The two guys at the check out were fast and very kind to us. Overall it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to spend a little more time when they're not closing.
