They are not helpful whatsoever, I was looking for something specific, they had about 5 employees walking around doing nothing, and not one asked me if I needed any help. Also their return policy is ridiculous, they don't tell you that certain items are Final Sale and they won't give you credit. Will not go there again. read more

Fun fact: I love Bargain Fair! Bargain Fair is right around the corner (A+ for location), incredibly inexpensive (A++ for prices) and crowded like whoa (I'll give them an A for effort but B for how packed the aisles are). Like, no kidding - do not take a big purse into Bargain Fair because there's a chance you might knock down half of their inventory. The store supplies a lot of restaurants in Los Angeles - big, small, chains and unique places; but my favorite thing is that you can buy in whatever quantity you want, meaning you aren't dropping all your money to get some class in your kitchen. They currently have gorgeous stemless Wine Glasses and a whole ton of cutlery and utensils; they also boast a large array of supplies, ranging from toasters, blenders, processors, salt & pepper shakers, etc etc. The place is equally perfect for small restaurant and cafe owners as it is for new apartment owners; nothing quite like making your kitchen your own at half the price! :) read more

Bargain Fair is useful if you have a restaurant or cafe and want to purchase bulk items for your place. They don't have a lot of high quality things, and sure it's all made in China, but you can get some decent flatware/dinnerware and utensils for less expensive than say, a Surfas, Sur La Table, or Williams-Sonoma. The place itself is packed, and the narrow aisles make it feel cluttered inside. And don't expect much help from any of the staff. I didn't buy anything, but it's mentally bookmarked ;) read more

Are the prices a "bargain" or are they just "fair"? Bargain Fair had a little of both. They stocked a mixture of household consumer and professional kitchen gear, but not particularly large inventory for either. There were some good prices, but better can be found at other discount kitchen supply stores. Despite being on the corner of Fairfax and Beverly, it's easy to overlook because of the drab exterior. read more

Bargain Fair is right across the street where I am living right now and it is a decent place to come in to pick up a few things here and there. You can found certain things on sale which can be a great bargains. This place isn't nothing like Surfas but guess it will do for now. read more

I've walked or driven past this place for years and years but went in for the first time this weekend. Was in search of a tea kettle and found a good choice of styles sizes and very reasonable price points. For comparison cost plus world market had no tea kettles in stock except the ornamental iron faux Japanese type. OXO Bodum and other brands found here. Wandered the crowded aisles and while it was pretty hard to resist picking up some random kitchen items... I Succeeded. next time I have a simple kitchen or diningware need to fill, I'll check this place out. read more

I've been shopping at this store for over 30 years. They have amazing prices, great variety, and excellent service. You can find stuff there that you can't anywhere else. They sell plates, spoons, forks, and glasses by the piece, so you are never forced to buy a whole set. Shopping there is an adventure. The young lady who owns the place is always nice and courteous too. Now that we are all staying home, I have bee cooking a lot more so I've been going back more often than ever. read more

I've been shopping here for years. Definitely the go to place for glasses, serving trays at reasonable prices.

maybe if you're selling wine glasses, you don't hand them to customers in a small paper bag with the glass hanging out of it. really. how embarrassing. you sell glass cups and plates and you don't have anything to wrap them with? You're lucky I had a towel in my car so I can wrap them around so they don't break on my way home. i'm just baffled at how you can give someone a delicate wine glass IN A SMALL PAPER BAG without securing it. even ROSS does that. you guys should be ashamed. read more

This is the place to go for kitchenware. Whether you are starting out and need to start from scratch or have a full kitchen but need to fill in some gaps, Bargain Fair has you covered. read more

I usually go to Sur La Table at Farmer's Market for the latest and greatest in kitchen products but I heard about this place and decided to check it out. They have a ton of merchandise but it's geared more toward a professional kitchens and restaurants, it's "functional not fancy". I did buy several dough scrapers that were probably 90% less than what SLT charges and had to resist many other small bits. I highly recommend stopping here and browsing even if you don't need anything immediately, you'll know to check this place first. It's LA so we expect to have to hunt for a parking space but I've always had luck finding a premium space by the front door or around the corner. Why 4 stars? It's a big dusty, cramped and even dingy but I think their prices make up for it. read more

Super helpful staff! Awesome inventory - I gave outfitted my homes, private jets etc here for years and have saved a TON! The assortment of sizes and shapes for serving ware is unprecedented. Love this place. I'm forever a loyal customer!!! read more

A caterer's Paradise, my husband and I love to shop here together. We find yhe most unique and beautiful items for our company. Friendly, helpful customer service and the best prices in town. Looking for something beautiful to entertain your guest with, this is the place to shop. read more

This place is awesome for dinnerware/serving platters. Catering quality at a great price.

This place feels like Disneyland. So many products, so many options, and such great service. The lady who owns it is extremely knowledgeable, and her entire team is friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

I burnt my tea pot! I started boiling water for my morning cup of tea but there was one problem, there was no water in the pot! Oy to the vey! After researching ways to try and clean or salvage it, I eventually gave up and decided to paint it and turn it into art. I headed over to Bargain Fair, down the street from where I live. They seemed to have everything from the window. I was certain I would find a replacement kettle for cheap. Eh, not so much. This place is jam packed full of kitcheny stuff. They have everything but the kitchen sink. Actually, they might have some of those too. The walkways are packed and cramped. Workers are restocking while you are trying to shop, making the aisles even smaller. There were a few tea pots but they were kinda small and seemed a little over priced for a "bargain fair". While I was there, I decided to look for a porcelain filter cone to make pour over coffee. No one knew what I was talking about. 0 for 2. If you are looking for something specific, you might have a hard time here. If you are just casually browsing, you might actually find a bargain. Good luck! read more

Bargain Fair has a great selection of kitchen supply. My favorites are the elegant and restaurant quality dinnerware. From small dish ( which I love to use a lot ) to the serving plates. Prices are very reasonable. Great customer service. The staff knows the product they sell and are very helpful. PS:I have also purchased my silver ware there way back 2007 and I still have them. read more

I had a difficult experience here after purchasing a defective pitcher, but the manager reached out to me and dealt professionally with the situation. Although I would have preferred not to have to go through so much trouble to receive good service, I am satisfied that the people in charge mean well and care about their customers. Good selection, great location, passable service. read more

Cons: Here's the deal. This store offers much of the same as Ross when it comes to consumer kitchen wares, at around the same price. Pros: What IS worth the trip is the wholesale supply. They have ceramic and glassware that you would see in low to high end restaurants. To be able to buy items individually, that are typically only sold by the tens and hundreds, was a treat. Glass plates for a dollar, steak knives of all kinds, utensils, what-have-you. And, the location couldn't be more convenient. read more

I expected extreme bargain prices; however I found that most things were moderately pried. You can find (mini and regular sized) cast iron pans/skillets starting around $10.. not bad because they're so versatile. I'm not a good judge on cookware yet, but if you're going to compare the quality to dollar store cookware... yes this quality is worth purchasing! Crowded aisles but not really a problem, they have everything you could need! Don't know why the silverware wasn't cheaper than $1 per utensil...... Also don't know why large metal strainers are around $10...... read more

My son and I popped in today for a last minute thermometer for my mom to use for Thanksgiving (she's not usually in charge of the turkey). I haven't been in in years since I moved away, but was SO happy to have had a reason to come in. Wonderfully stocked, but more importantly the service was fantastic. Not only helpful, and prompt despite being busy, but also personable, including from the owner herself. She's got new customers in the form of our family. Heck, even my pre-teen son exclaimed how impressed he was with the experience! read more

I love this place. Barista supplies at awesome prices. I'll definitely be coming back over and over again. Downside is that they don't carry espresso tampers but it's still an awesome store. They have sooo many items. Pots and pans. Cups and plates. You can find just about everything in this place. read more

I LOVE BARGAIN FAIR. Floor to ceiling selection of everything you need in your kitchen or dining table at more than fair prices and without the 2 day amazon prime wait. And everyone who complains about bad service or the "long wait times to check out" is just an impatient, wining, millennial BABY. You want a massage while you wait a couple minutes at a busy time for a local, hardworking mom-and-pop shop too? Come off it you twats. Bargain Fair for life. read more

I have been going to this store for over 20 years now. The people are nice and helpful and I usually can find everything I want. It's a fun place to shop if you want serious cookware. Or you need professional cookware Or glassware. Prices are pretty good to. read more

It was my first time at the shop and everyone was so helpful and sweet! All their products are of high quality as well as reasonably priced! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for kitchen utensils. read more

Amazing prices and customer service. Anything you need for your restaurant or kitchen, they've got it! Catering, cafe needs, glassware, it's amazing at how many products they have at each location. read more

Great family business with a commitment to serve. I know the store for over 40 years and the owners are so nice and friendly . Of course they also have great prices and fantastic variety. read more

The most amazing store in all of LA. A one stop shop for all the incredible houseware items all in one place. You can become addicted to this store !!!! A must place to definitely shop for your home. read more

I truly love this store, it has more items then the one in Mid-Town and the lady that works there knows everything. She is so kind and friendly and she even puts up with me, Lol She has a special way to ring up my order as she knows that I change my mind and keep adding items every other minute, SMH however she is soooo calm and cool, never rude at all. Bargain Fair has two locations, however this one is stocked to the very top and it reminds me of a drug store as well as a hardware and restaurant store all in one. I buy so many unique little items there, from cotton balls to cleaning products and everything a caterer needs in between. This store makes me SMILE, I feel at home in this store and can literally spend hours here just looking around. They have all the trendy plates, mini bowls, dishes, glasses, flat ware and place settings you see at the 5 star restaurant and you never know who you will see shopping there. Always worth the trip. Having guest over for dinner, shop here and impress your guests, Lol! read more

Love! Love! Love! this store. went in for the first time looking for bar tending supplies, and was amazed with the options and variety they had. I was able to find everything I wanted, and I am so glad to have found this store. It is local and accessible, therefore I don't need to wait for my items in the mail any longer. Definitely will be back!!! read more

Super helpful staff, exceptionally organized shelves, and they had everything I needed and then some!! Loved my experience and would go back for my entertaining needs and great new finds. read more

Well first of all this place is extremely overpriced for the low-grade Poor quality bar and restaurant utensils that they offer. Had they decent prices I might stop by in an emergency (owning and operating four bar restaurants can be demanding) But nothing could resolve the situation that you will be thrown into by having to deal with the horrible complacent a**h**es they have on staff. I spent a decent amount of money at this location, The item I purchased turned out to be bogus it did not work at all I suspect that it is a black market copy and never was meant to work. They might be an ideal location for Hollywood bars and restaurants however they do not back up their product and nothing you buy there will be returnable no matter what they say when you buy it... Extremely disappointed. Nightmare to deal with. Just go ahead and buy all your stuff from an online source and save money, hastle and avoid the drama...CHARLEY'S FIXTURES on Venice and Western is much better anyway. read more

My first Yelp review ever. But I could not let this pass. I would give this place zero stars, but you can't. Customer service -- Forgeddaboutit!! Let me first say that I have shopped at this store off and on for OVER 30 years, first time in 1976. But I will not be going back except to redeem a store credit for an item they would not give a refund on (which I'd rather not do, but I'm not going to let them keep my money for nothing). And I had to argue with them to get that far. They were set on letting me eat my hard earned money. I bought a sink stopper for my kitchen sink. Got it home, put in in the sink, filled it with dishes and water, left them to soak. When I came back there was no water in the sink, so I pulled out the dishes and pulled out the stopper. The rubber on it was all cracked. Went back the very next day. They said they could not give me a refund because it was USED!!!! Well how would I know it was defective unless I used it?!?!? So buyer beware. If you use it it's yours, come heck or high water. But this customer would rather get some customer service. Even all the dollar and ninety-nine cents stores around town let you return items that are defective. They lost a good customer after 37 years. read more

I've shopped here a few times and was quite impressed with they're selection. The last time I was in the shop I bought, amongst other things, some small pie tins. After using them once and washing them they turned out full of rust and they were obviously unusable. Took them back to the shop, showed them to the lady and she said she can't do anything about it because that only happens when they left in water - something which I obviously wouldn't do, I know better than that. So thanks Bargain Fair, now I know your customer service sucks! It's really not about the product, it was under $4 and I could clearly just replace it with another. But the product you sold me is defected, and the fact that you'd rather turn me away with no solution than just say sorry says a lot about your business. I am not going to shop there again, I'd rather spend my money some place else. read more

Bargain Fair, I love you. Where else could I get many of the same designs as Crate + Barrel and Williams-Sonoma, for many dollars less? As I mentioned they have many modern knockoff designs, interspersed with high and low end restaurant/kitchen products, a wide range of everything. And MUCH better than the relatively limited choice you will find at a store like a Target. If you don't need your selection curated by a place like Crate & Barrel, this is the place for you. Had a delightful chat with the woman at the counter, she was very chill and nice. Staff generally leave you alone (the way I like it) but the few times I've asked they've been helpful. read more

So I wrote a review for this place about a year ago, in which I stated I had driven nearly two hours to arrive at their store after checking their website to be certain they where open. When I arrived in the middle of the day, during business hours no one was there. After posting the review the owner responded with an apology, fixed the misprint, and offered a discount off my next purchase. Well that wasn't until today over one year later!!! I'm glad to say she kept her word and honored the discount! I appreciate good business dealings and people who are truthful and trustworthy. So thank you Bargain Fair for being awesome. We like shopping at the Pico store too, but the Beverly store is really well stocked and has a few more options. Overall both stores are great, and we will continue to purchase supplies for the company at both locations! read more

I debated strongly about whether to give this place 2 stars or 3 stars. I've been shopping at Bargain Fair sporadically over the past 17 years, and quite simply there is good news and there is bad news about this place. First the GOOD: Great prices on all kinds of kitchen related items. This place is stocked to the gills with kitchen accessories, and everything is reasonably priced. The fact that everything can be purchased piece by piece is just handy. If you need a good cheap spoon or knife, this is the place. If you need a good cheap dinner plate or ice bucket, this is the place. And the list just goes on and on. Now, the BAD: The wait at the cash register when you actually want to checkout and buy something? Excruciating. It's one thing to stand in line at Costco or somewhere where there are 15 lines and they are all long because the place is so popular. But this place has gotten more and more unbearable with the wait times. And it's always just one person at the register, just tinkering along... looking back and forth at their computer trying to locate prices or search for stock, while everyone else in line wanting to just make a quick purchase is SUFFERING. I mean, is it really that hard to hire a second person to work the other cash register? So for those considering shopping here, If you need those couple of steak knives for dinner tonight and you think you're just gonna pop in here real quick and buy them, think again. Better bring a magazine to read while you wait in line. Also, I recall from years ago that the attitude at the counter was friendlier. Recently I stopped in to return an item that I had bought by mistake. The item was still in packaging, obviously unused. And after waiting (the usual) grueling amount of time to get up to the register for my return of a $6 item, I am met with extreme coolness and unfriendliness. I get it, they don't really love returns, but does the fact that I've been shopping here for going on 2 decades now, perhaps entitle me to some basic polite counter service? Apparently not. Take it for what it's worth, but know that there is a price to pay for the great deals on plates and glasses. Long wait times and extreme lack of friendliness from staff. read more

I have an unhealthy obsession with this place. Don't get deterred by the semi- difficult ( on the corner of an EXTREMELY difficult intersection...but hey, that's living in a city) location, and lack of parking. This place is worth the trip. I do a great deal of cooking, and sometimes am in need of certain cookware that I don't have, and am not willing to splurge on. This place is perfect. It has fair priced yet quality equipment. The pots, pan, Dutch Oven, etc are all in perfect working order, and I've had them for years. The staff is really helpful and the owners are kind. Finally, as silly as this feels to admit, on random occasions, I'll get a " Happy Cooking" from the owner on the way out. That never ceases to make me smile. And, yes, the cooking is always happy! read more

Horrible customer service!! I bought an electric kettle few months ago that was defective in structure to the extent that hot boiling hot water was spilling all over every time I was trying to get the water into a cup. Chefs choice brand clear kettle is very unsafe to use!!! Owner didn't not want to replace it with another product that is safer to use and neither return my money back. Save yourselves the headache and stay away from that store! read more
