The katsu plates were well wrto hit with the amount of food and had enough flavor. The sashimi bowl is a skip, it's not that much food for that price... This place is another major grocery addition to the area and it's certainly much needed!

Our favorite is the foldable tote bag!

I frequent this Safeway about once a month when there is a good deal to take advantage of so I came…read moreto this location today to pickup 4 corns for $1 and Beef Chuck flanken ribs for $6.99/lb. I have come for the ribs deal in the past but every time, they have either run out or what's left is big strips of fat on bones. I came to the meat department and was 2nd in line for the butcher. The first person was waiting for the butcher to finish slicing the flanken ribs so she could choose the packages she wanted. Once the butcher finished and put the ribs in the open fridge, she chose what she wanted and left the rest that had little meat and mostly fat. I decided to go back to the butcher and wait when shortly after, an employee approached me with the name tag "Noel". He asked if I needed help and I told him I was waiting for the butcher so I could ask them to slice up some more ribs. Noel looked at where the leftover ribs were and had a condescending tone and said to me, "there are no more in the fridge?" I explained that I was waiting for the butcher to come back because I didn't want just fat and bones. He snarkily said "They all have fat, they are chuck, what do you expect? Well, they are at lunch, you will have to wait a while". I had my 4 year old daughter with me and I said "I have time, I will wait". He then went on to do whatever work he needed to do, checking temps of the frozen section and fridges with a thermometer while I waited there. He went to the back and I could hear him talking about me to the butcher and I could hear his abhorrent tone about me waiting for a better quality cut. 10 min later he goes to the meat rack in the back and uses the meat wrapping machine to wrap some more ribs that were already cut and in trays. He puts them on a tray and puts the tray on the butcher window and condescendingly repeats himself "They all have fat, they are chuck." I wanted to tell him about my experience in the past and that since I had time today I didn't mind waiting, but my 4 year old was there and I just wanted to pick up the groceries and take her home. As I was picking the ones I wanted, he again gave me attitude and said "You know it's 2 max as the limit." I said "Ok, I got it.", He said with an angry face "What?" So I said it louder, "Yes, I got it". Little did he know, my wife also has an account so I used her number since she was at work and was unable to be present. But I didn't feel like he was worthy of an explanation to begin with. I had to bite my tongue multiple times while he made sarcastic, snarky, condescending comments to me, and about me to his butcher, then at me again. If I didn't have my daughter with me, I would have been more vocal, but in this situation I decided to put my complaint online. In summary, I am local and I used to frequent this grocery store, but after Noel's demeanor, I will not be coming back. I will take my business elsewhere and will recommend my friends to not come to this location. If Noel is at a job to provide service to the public, he shouldn't be. He should be an overnight stocker where he doesn't deal with people because he has no people skills. His sarcastic remarks and condescension was behavior that I was taken aback by, and it was the first time that I EVER had this type of experience in a grocery store, and I'm 42 years old. I will be posting this on Google and Yelp as well. I'm sure he will see this post and hopefully he can rethink about his behavior and learn from it, and be better because of it.

They do need to work on the hygiene a bit, as they packed up the whole shank raw in a plastic bag and gave it to me to take home in my car. The bone was sticking out of the bag. At least wrap the whole thing in butcher paper and tape it shut, just some professionalism. Still a good shank though and it's nice the store has so many other items too. Very friendly staff.

Lucky is always overpriced compared to Safeway, but it's easy to stop by on my way home from work…read more Today, when I went through self checkout, I was informed by the courtesy clerk that you can no longer bag your groceries while checking out at self checkout. She told me that you have to scan all your groceries first and then bag after. Usually, I put the bag up on the scale before scanning the groceries and then just put the groceries into the bag, but they no longer allow that. So she pulled my groceries out of the bag to allow me to scan the rest of the groceries.

Skip this Lucky's and go to Safeway or somewhere else instead. Looks like a huge store but once you…read morego inside, it's dark and eerie. There are two point of entry but one is closed, best to park closest to the main sliding doors. The lights are dim or flickering throughout the store. It's a large store that you don't run into people. The aisles are fully stocked and the produce area looks fresh with variety. The baked goods are suspicious. Some looked like it had mold in the bottom. There are employees around but mostly at the checkout area. The self checkout machines were at least working well.

Their gifts are one of a kind , nothing you can find in the malls or Walmart . They are well made with special designs and meaning . The 4 th of July palm pal ( stuffed toys ) are so cute . From time to time they have a different bear for fund raising. Today was $12 great bear to feed the families in needed . The store is big , spacious and very comfortable to browse around. Of course they have a loyalty program. You register with your phone number. Parking is right outside the front door and they have public restrooms for shoppers . Wonderful service and great store !

Local grocery store with decent stock often discounted for members and serviced by seasoned and…read morefriendly staff. Raley's, a shrinking brand here in this part of the bay, still holds a large footprint in downtown Fremont. Benefiting from the big parking lot shared by many eateries, cafes, and specialty stores and entertainment, the grocery chain welcomes many to its storefront and keeps them coming back with their weekly deals. Some of the parking spots are tight but there are spaces all around the shopping center if you're willing to walk. But once you're settled, head on inside and be prepared to shop! Be sure to join their free membership to maximize savings (aside from their weekly deals, they have some specials on Mondays and during holidays). A jarring sight, however, is the security officer standing watch at the front entrance which makes you wonder if their presence is due to a necessity or simply a security protocol for deterring that necessity. From all the visits I've made, the security personnel are just as friendly as the store's staff who are frequently traversing through sections to restock, check inventory, and help customers. As you continue walking in, you'll pass the dining space and prepared food section where you'll find fried foods, stirfrys and soups sitting in warmers. Nearby food stations also host a good collection of more freshly prepared foods and a deli for sandwiches. The prices can be decent with their added discounts at times, but I've yet to be hungry enough to try. The biggest impression for me at this store is their dedicated produce section. Organics as well as fruits and vegetables of the season are in full display, vibrant in color and heaped in abundance. Some of their more perishable produce may be found in the chilled cases on the side. In addition, I'm a big fan of their seafood and meats section as the staff behind the counter are friendly and helpful. The selection can be minimal during peak times but the quality seems to be pretty good for the value. Their bread, cereal, and coffee sections are also well stocked and we've also been able to find some solid pumpernickel bread as well as Dutch crunch French bread. After perusing the store and piling your cart, you'll head to the registers, however in all my visits so far, we have been able to use the self checkout which, for the most part, has been a good experience. The staff float around and are helpful in the event that an item needs to be cancelled or a SKU needs to be looked up. A few areas of improvement would include their water fountains by the bathrooms which haven't worked in our visits and general bathroom upkeep. Overall, Raley's does a great job welcoming folks near and far to their well stocked store, serving fresh and on-sale items. The store is organized and frequently refreshed with new stock by their band of employees roaming the aisles with smiles. You'll also find that patrons here are quite friendly - almost a neighborly feel to it. If you're in the area and need a quick bite or a pantry run, Raley's has what you need and for a good price, too!

I come here a lot They seem to be low on staff however…read morethat's not that big of a deal If the meat department is closed for the day I would put a sign saying so instead having customers wait for help they are not going to get This is also the third time I've approached the meat department with no butcher in sight we really should not have to ask for help but if a bell was put there that would be helpful too I also observed that there was. No manager present today so I asked and was told I don't know where they are I don't know when they will be back I called customer service and suggested a sign for the meat department and was completely ignored and told have a nice day Still a very nice Safeway with friendly staff and a lot of good stuff to buy

(Totally understand the non-Safeway newspapers are there for purchase) One star because I thought it was super odd so I checked the Safeway corporate site and went to another Safeway and they haven't implemented selling Safeway sales newspapers. So you can deduct why they really didn't give me one Safeway sales paper. Super sad.

But we were in search of some cake so we decided let's try and see if they have anything. We arrived to the parking lot and it's basically a mess. People coming in and out of very tight spaces and not looking where they're going. A normal space here feels so crammed. It's like they were giving you the absolute minimal space between cars to cram in as many spaces necessary. Now going in, is fine. We went to the bakery area, the cakes were there but not ones we wanted. So we left. Again. Not saying Whole Foods isn't a great place. It's just getting parked is the battle which I try not to have to deal with as much as possible. I would rather travel to other Whole Foods to not have to deal with this specific parking lot. Or go when it's not peak times which is probably like weekdays not during lunch.
