I felt a little rushed as I didn't want to stay too long, could definitely check things out for more than an hour. The shop itself is comparatively small but it is PACKED. There are things from the floor to the ceilings and the aisles are narrow, even scooching past someone would be difficult, especially if you or them were holding something. the owners speak English and can help you find whatever you are looking for. Prices are so reasonable and with the increased tariffs, alot of the price tags are crossed out, but the final price is still great, especially for the quality. Parking is small, each space is labeled for each shop. Would definitely shop here again in the future!

Working with Doug Schonfeld at Chef Toys has been an exceptional experience from start to finish…read more Doug is a wealth of information when it comes to EVERYTHING that belongs in a kitchen. He has a way of explaining things that makes even complex decisions feel straightforward and manageable. What I appreciate most about Doug is how genuinely helpful he is. No matter the question or challenge, he takes the time to understand what's needed and always comes back with thoughtful, practical solutions. He's a natural problem solver who anticipates issues before they arise, which makes a huge difference. Doug is also incredibly responsive. Whether it's a quick question or a more detailed request, he consistently replies promptly and thoroughly, keeping everything moving smoothly. Above all, Doug is honest and trustworthy. His recommendations are always grounded in what's best for the situation, not just making a sale. That level of integrity is rare and makes him someone you can confidently rely on. Doug is the reason we love Chef Toys and continue to choose them every time here at Orange Coast College. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication make all the difference. I highly recommend Doug at Chef Toys to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely supportive partner in kitchen equipment.

I have a trusted knife sharpener, but wanted to give Chef's Toys Knife Sharpening services a try…read morebecause it's close to my work. Bad decision on my part. When I got back my "sharpened" knives, one of them had nicks and burrs. I don't know if you can see in the photos. The bottom part of the blade feels chewed up and rough. I had two other knives sharpened and they're not as sharp as when I've had them done with people who know what they're doing. I will only go back to see ask if they can fix the one with the nicks. After that, never again. I'm actually scared to have them touch my knife again, but it's want them to be aware of the lack of quality. If you care about your knives, call ALL SHARPENED UP (Orange County) or GARY'S KNIVES (South Bay and West Side) instead.

This location is far better and more convenient compared to others I've been to. The layout is…read moreclean and easy to navigate, and the aisles between the racks are well maintained. For a warehouse of this size, that's not easy to keep up with--I've worked in and managed warehouses before, so I definitely notice and appreciate that. The only downside is the snack selection. Compared to other locations, there are significantly fewer options, which was a bit surprising. Not sure why that is. Overall, it's a great place for buying in bulk, and the organization and cleanliness really stand out.

Went to Restaurant Depot with my girlfriend's parents before Mother's Day to pick up supplies for a…read moreTeppanyaki feast at home. Definitely a good spot if you're buying in bulk--tons of options for meats, seafood, and party-sized items. We ended up grabbing shrimp, scallops, hot dogs, and beef for the grill. That said, the experience in the cooler section was frustrating. We needed help identifying a cut of meat because the pricing area had multiple different labels and prices, but one of the employees basically refused to help and just told us to "look over there." Because of the confusion, we accidentally picked up two different cuts thinking they were the same and only realized it later at checkout. Overall, decent selection and useful if you're cooking for a group, but customer service could definitely be better. 3/5.

Costco business center is my go to whenever I need to buy meats, restaurant quality tortilla chips,…read moregreat selections of various sizes of tortillas, various styles of French rolls, hoagies and buns, that regular warehouses do not carry. Certain produces such as iceberg lettuce that other Costco stores do not sell. They also seem to get larger quantities of stock, like Cherries. We went to several warehouses that showed low stock through the app, but they did not have any, so I checked the business center and they had boxes of availability. Given, Costco business center is more for small businesses as a lot of things might come packaged for individual retail sales, but there are still a lot of bulk items that give you large savings for the family. Since regular membership allows you to access business centers, it's a great way to allow your membership to work for you.

It is…read moresharp AF I looked through the rolling pins, needed one for making dumplings but all they had was a plastic-like roller. I'd much prefer a wooden one. Additionally, I wanted to also look into getting a better whisk, but I think I will make the wood what I have. And I knew I was gonna need a digital scale to help me through my sourdough journey now that I was gifted two sourdough starters--one from Italy and one from France (one of my clients was very giving & thoughtful). The price is range from $40-$85., whoa! Amazon has them for about $30. I will have to think about this.. Met Gonzo, yes, that's how he spelled it, a delightful & enlightened staff member who was very helpful with recommending which would be best. We could've had a whole conversation for a half a day! LoL. In the end, I decided to think about it before purchasing one (turns out later, best decision I made all day) My glass measuring cup is in storage & I find it cumbersome so I bought a lighter version (2 cup). Happy with my purchase. Hubby bought his item separately & let me roam the aisles. Highly recommend this store. Gonzo was instrumental in making me feel welcomed & appreciated to be shopping here, hence the 5 star. As I mentioned many times in the past, I greatly value customer service. It's what keeps me as a return customer

Listen to this…read more.. Chef Toys wants to charge a 30% restocking fee if a product has to be opened and taken out of the box. But if they sell you an item that THEY took out of the box and have had on display, they want you to pay full price while claiming the item is still "new." We placed an order over the weekend for about $4,000 and were told it would be ready to pick up by Monday. I got there around 12, and the order wasn't ready. Not a big deal--we waited. Then we found out that one of the items included in our order was the display fridge. We told them we wanted a brand-new fridge in a box. The employee kept stating that they "just took it out of the box," but in reality, that fridge has been sitting there on display for a long time. We asked for either a boxed fridge or a refund. The employee did not hesitate to state, "I will meet you at the front and give you your refund," without even trying to offer another alternative or find a solution. There were no customer service skills from the employees or Buster, the manager. The situation escalated pretty quickly, and Buster very rudely kept telling me to stop talking instead of trying to handle the situation professionally and understand why we were upset. We have been doing business with Chef Toys for a very long time, but today they lost a customer because of Buster and the way this situation was handled. I do want to acknowledge and thank the Director of Sales. He understood the situation and very calmly tried to find a solution. Unfortunately, by that point, it was already too late. He showed the professionalism and customer service that we should have received from the beginning. He should be hired as the manager instead.
