Upon entering there are shopping carts and baskets. Take a rolling one (trust me) and get ready for a wonderful store filled with food stuffs that will make you swoon. The neatly stacked shelves are filled with things like chocolate, jam, pasta, tinned seafood, chips, and pasta are all neatly organized. Tags indicating country of origin (largely from Europe) are helpful. There are refrigerators full of charcuterie, cheese, and French butter. Freezers have ready to bake breads and pastries from a bakery in Canada. It's actually quite overwhelming (in a very good way), if you don't know what you need. You'll definitely see lots of things you want. The people that work here seem happy and are very helpful. When we were looking at chips, one of the employees shared his favorites. The best part of the visit was meeting the owner. He was enthusiastic and extremely informative! He told us that everything in the store was sampled and scrutinized for taste and quality. He knew everything about the products and why they were sourced. He helped me find a delicious arbequina olive oil from Italy and tins of sardines packed it butter. Swoon. By the end of our visit my basket was full! While the items here are pricey I truly think that the quality is worth it. Parking is plentiful and conveniently located just outside. The store is clean and well organized. Bring your own reusable shopping bags because you'll need it for all the wonderful goodies. Definitely returning!

Roll me in butter and slap me into a pancake - this place is just effing GORGEOUS…read more Visited this spot for the first time today and was absolutely blown away by the joy, love, care, attention, passion and expertise in this place. Pure electricity that took my friggin' breath away. I was overwhelmed as I stumbled around with my kid who also was in awe. The staff are fantastic. Eric is a master Jedi and was so thoughtful, energetic, detailed and soooooo fun with his descriptions, guidance and suggestions. I am was so so happy to hear that that this place is extending its square footage as well. (Thank you Eric for sharing and showing us the new space!). I don't know what to say. You just have to go. Imagine yourself in some great food adventure and you enter a vast other wordly cathedral filled with gems and golden treasure. That's Epicurus Gourmet. I've been in LA for well over three decades and its rare that I am frozen in my footsteps when walking into a new spot - but this place did it. A vast Disneyland of tinned fish, butters, pastas, meats, chocolate, spices, so so much more. Honestly, for anyone passionate about food and cooking, it may make you cry visiting this spot. Perfection. Go. Many thanks to Eric and the entire staff for making our first visit with you wildly memorable and deeply enjoyable. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Soooooooooo glad you are nearby!

The produce and fruit prices here is unbeatable. They always have variety of things on sale specially their top sellers. Let's say cucumbers cost over $2.50 a pound in other markets and here it's almost always 99c a pound. Today I was surprised to see a 10 lbs bag of potatoes for $1.29 now that's crazy. Even though I don't buy non organic potatoes it's a great price for people that do. Apples 79c peaches 1.29 a pound which I stocked up on to freeze once they are ripe. I got bags of cherries for $1.29 a pound. Sweet and juicy cherries. I especially love the bulk section of dried fruits and nuts here. I always buy the dried fruits that are imported from Armenia such as sour plum, peach, apricots, pears and more. Love it They carry a wide selection of imported rice, legumes, pastas, olives etc.... Two isles of bread from pita to lavash to tortillas to ciabatta and more. The deli is amazing but I'm not crazy about the meat department. Customer service is average for a supermarket and finding parking here is always challenging. Overall a great place to shop for food specially for large families that want to save a bit of money.

Today I was in the Van Nuys area so I decided to go to the super King Van Nuys instead of my normal…read moresuper King store in Northridge. What a big disappointment! I was faced with this Rude employee named Martin who tells me flat out that the employees of the store or at least Martin is not about Customer Service or the customers needs. Earlier I had walked by the tangerine booth. I saw that the bin was empty. I went over to Martin and ask him where are the tangerines located he pointed where they were. I looked over and I said the bin was empty and if they can fill it. Non-responsibly he struck his shoulders so I walked over to produce Manager and asked can they bring out fresh tangerines since the bin was empty. He said fine in 10 minutes. I continued with my shopping and 20 minutes later I came in and the bin was still empty so I went over to Martin and as I couldn't find the produce manager, I asked can they fill the bin he says when I get around to it so I walked over, found the produce manager, and I asked for the tangerines to be filled. The produces Manager went and ask Martin to do that. exactly 2 minutes later he walks up to the tangerine bin and tells me why did you go and asked the mgr for Tangerines? I told you I will get to it when I get to it. I told him that I had a doctors appointment that I've been waiting for 20 minutes and I'd like to finish my shopping to which he responded well we don't work around the customers schedule we work whenever we want to. This has left such a bad taste in my mouth and so contrary to my experience in Northridge. I hope the store manger pays attention to Martin and his lack of customer service attitude.

Parking can be a little tricky, especially during lunch hour, but I got lucky and found a spot right in front of the entrance. Once inside, the setup is pretty straightforward: turo-turo style food station on the left and a small Filipino supermarket on the right. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. Their lunch combos are reasonably priced depending on your selections, and they have a wide variety of Filipino dishes to choose from. The food I picked was flavorful, fresh, and definitely hit the spot. One quick tip: bring your own reusable bag since they charge $0.15 for a paper bag. Overall, this is a solid option in the SFV when you're craving Filipino food (tastier food compared to Seafood City). I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

Keep up the great work and maintain that high quality! When it comes to food, my wife and I are very picky... quality first..

Too bad they were out of boba. I got an oolong tea, a Danish Toast and a Blueberry Block pastry. Both were delicious with just the barest hint of sweetness. Then I headed to the back for some hot Chinese food. While browsing nearby waiting for my turn, I noticed a big guy hassling the worker to add more chicken to his 2 items combo. He should have just ordered more chicken à la carte, but kept insisting on paying extra to top off his combo, something the worker could not do. Before I could say anything to mediate, he stormed off acting like it was a language barrier rather than him just being difficult. I felt so bad for her. Please be kind to these workers who are really trying their best!

I usually do stop by if I'm within several miles due to their quality coffee, pastries and steaks. Today coffee with some pastries. The coffee is ground fresh and is amazing and the pastries were still coming out from the back. I had a Medialunas which is a small buttery and sweet croissant and a Miguelitos which is a layered dulce de lech pastry. They also offer various breads, other delectable pastries, sandwiches, and all types of grilled steaks. Yerba mate are on the shelves in various packaging. Parking is easy in the early morning but difficult other times. Plenty of tables for dining and some counter seating. Probably one of the top 5 food places on the Valley to visit.
