2/27/26 Hubby was looking for a knife sheath to protect his new chef knife.... And me lol. It is sharp 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 read more

Listen to this... 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. read more

Everyone was friendly. They didnt have alot. But the pricing is a bit expensive side. But it was fun browsing around :)

The employee at the register was very informative and even recommended a brand to me that I forget the name of, but it did interest me. I ended up ordering one of the knives they had on display from the company itself, but I purchased one of their Victorinox bread knives, 2 knife guards, and scissors. So far, I have only really used the bread knife, but I'm glad I found this place. read more

Had my knives sharpened here. Dome quickly and at a good price. Would highly recommend them for knife sharpening.

This was like walking into Disneyland :) So many options, the staff was great with helping me find exactly what I was looking for.

I found all the products I needed to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. Some items were really pricey, but they had other similar options in pretty much all price points. read more

Excellent customer service. The people working there are friendly, approachable, and ready to answer your questions. Good prices too.

Wow, what a great experience. Mechelle went above and beyond to help me locate what I needed. She was so amazing, unfortunately they didn't have what I was looking for, but Mechelle was so helpful in pointing me to where I could get what I was looking for. Thank you Mechelle! read more

It's open to the public. Lots of restaurant equipment doesn't pertain to household needs. But lots of items do. And Traeger pellets are a good price read more

This company has almost everything you could want for preparing food. They have equipment. They have an assortment of accessories. I really recommend them. read more

It's definitely a hidden gem and I highly recommend this place. I'm a home baker but perusing through the aisles, seeing all the equipment, makes you feel like you're a professional chef. Gave me a lot of great ideas for baking more efficiently. No one came to help me when I was shopping but I didn't need help, and I'm glad they left me alone to do my thing. I'm going here again for sure! Prices were reasonable. Great experience read more

Absolute fucking joke of a place. Everything is cheaper across the street at restaurant depot and you don't have to deal with shit fucking employees. How are you supposed to see if a product is fit for your kitchen without opening the package? Then they want to charge a restocking fee if it's not in the ripped plastic wrap. Then I see Ray wrapping the brush in SARAN wrap LOL. That's what they charge the restocking fee for? Bunch of idiots running and working at the place. I'll never be back. Literally came back within 30 minutes of purchase because it wasn't the correct product, but because no one fucking shops at chef's toys anymore, they wanna charge customers a restocking fee. pathetic. read more

Newly opened this month, this store is one of three in the Los Angeles area (the other two are in Fountain Valley and Torrance). Chefs' Toys offers a huge warehouse filled with restaurant supplies, everything you need from A to Z, new and used, large and small. It is open to the public, and is just down the street from the Restaurant Depot. So for the restauranteur, chef professional, or even the wanna-be chef, this is a god-send for convenience and inspiration, and has just plain old drool factor. Everything is well organized. The staff are helpful. So, reach down deep inside and pull out that inner culinary creativity. Turn off Food Channel long enough to come here to see what pushes your buttons. You know you want to! read more

Everyone was super helpful!! I love this place!! Way better than Amazon!! It may prove to be a little dangerous, though! I have my eyes set on a blender and a few other things. Minutes from my office. I will be back!!! read more

Great selection of sturdy cookware. Sick of finding only made in China products in your neighborhood stores? Then come here. They have a lot of USA made and European made items, which will last much longer, and have less toxin compare to the China made counterparts. Scored myself an immersion blender... made in France! What??! Will it be a little more expensive? Yes. But you get what you pay for. Quality. Oh, and the customer service is great by the way. Love coming here. read more

This store is AMAZING!! I have never been to a store like this, so to come here and see everything a restaurant could need for but is pretty nice. From dishes (oh man there is an insane amount of that) to large appliances and even trash cans. Even small things like silverware or things to keep food in. I have to say, my mind is blown. The prices aren't too bad either. It is always fun to come!! read more

Great place...why go to regular retail stores when you can purchase high quality chef equipment and cooking utensils here. Worth every dollar!!! read more

When Wendy B. wrote a review about this place, I KNEW I had to visit! There's nothing I love quite as much as cooking and this place every gadget I could possibly want. And everything is so very affordable! Chef's Toys is a warehouse where you can easily get lost in aisles of professional restaurant supplies. From appliances, to food storage, gadgets, plates, cutlery, pots n' pans, baking supplies and kitchen attire; this place has it all! If you're ever wanting to revamp the look of your kitchen, this place is where you need to go to do it! It'll look like you spent the GNP of a small country, for small fraction of the cost! I'll be back for sure. I already know where I'm getting unique gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays! read more

Awesome! This place rules! If you love cooking and the extra awesome pieces of cooking magic- this is the pro and pro-home cook advantage!

OK this place is pretty good we have pretty much anything you need when it comes to supplies for your kitchen and yourself. The reason for the four stars is the price a little bit on the high side for me anyways considering how far I have to drive to get there about 38 miles but I do like to go there at least once every three months if you live close by you won't be disappoint read more

Scam artists here, always trying to find a way to keep your money. Doesn't work/do as advertised Sorry 30% restocking fee How about f you chefs toys. Worthless pieces of scat. Action sales in Irvine or even restaurant Depot is worth more than this dump... Response to chefs toys from their response: Your machine said cooked oats, it did not, I returned it, then you claimed I did it wrong and there is a 30% restocking fee... Great business model losers. Get bent when I call the guy out on it too... Oh I'll make oats myself and see if it really works. I said get, I'll go get them and we can cook them together... He said no I was wrong and he would do it himself. F you guy. Not only was my first experience with you guys 5 years ago based on a racist employee calling his co workers derogatory slang towards Hispanics, just 2 years ago I was told I couldn't get a refund for an item that didn't heat, that I HAD to get it repaired by an authorized outlet, then was told you could exchange it, but by that time I didn't want the oven, it was trash. I actually had to bring in con air corporate office to tell you guys to give a full refund... Your business practices are such trash, and I am tired of pretending like they are not... So don't come at me with your BS replies trying to make me look like a disgruntled customer and you tried to do right... read more

One of my favorite places to come for chef supplies. Being a culinary student, this place is my go-to whenever I need emergency or backup supplies. Everything that has to do with the kitchen, they have. Great quality and highly recommended. I will always shop here for any of my cooking needs. read more

Since moving back to CA, I've been searching SoCal for a real decently stocked restaurant supply store similar to Cresco in Las Vegas. Well, I found my store! Chef's Toys in Anaheim (they have other locations as well) has ended my long painful search. They are located almost across the street from a Restaurant Depot Warehouse. The outside of Chef's Toy looks a bit deceiving as being a small store. But once you step inside, there is a ton of merchandise all neatly stacked and displayed. The staff here are all really friendly and answer your questions patiently. I was on my way to work, so I did not have time to really peruse this store, but my quick walk around told me that they have anything a serious home cook or restaurant owner would need. I was surprised how difficult it is to purchase aluminum pizza pans, like what pizza parlors use and abuse. Smart and Final and Sam's Club do not carry them, and the Costco Business Centers in So Cal are too far away. I came in looking for 14" pizza pans and ended up getting some other sizes as well. I decided on purchasing 2 each of their 14" 16" and 18" sized pans, and a deep dish pizza pan grabber, costing me about $31 out the door. I've also been looking for a reputable knife sharpening vendor as well. While I did find one in Irvine, I'm going to try this place. They do not sharpen the knives at this location: I was advised by the staff here that the knives are all sent to their Fountain Valley branch for sharpening. They charge $3.80 per knife. Turn around time is 24 hours. I'm use to paying by the inch in Vegas, but it appears that this pricing structure will even out between my small paring knives and my longer boning and chef knives. The only slight disappointment I had with Chef's Toys was that even thought I'm a private consumer, I did not receive any type of industry pricing, like I use to get at Cresco. Despite this, I will definitely be shopping here for all of my cooking/kitchen equipment needs. read more

Definitely a fun store if you're in the food industry or simply love cooking or baking. A good variety of choices for the commercial kitchens. They have everything from cookery to baking supplies to chairs and table for your fine eatery establishment. Reasonable prices too and very friendly staff. I do wish that there's more disposable bakery items or food containers. read more

Place is amazing...a little pricey but the quality of the products is far superior...old saying goes...get what you pay for...I recommend just bring your wallet.. read more

Basically a Toys R Us for Chefs... or anyone that really loves to cook. They have a huge selection. Anything you might need for a kitchen they have it... or you don't want it. Lol read more

Been coming here for many years. First I Thought they were expensive or in The high side, but after going through other vendors such as across the street Restaurant Depot, and even Action Sales, I find Chef's Toys to be the best. They run it the American way, Unlike Action Sales. At Action Sales you'll be sorry to try to even return anything. It is despicable at Action Sales. Talk to DOUG the sales associate he is very helpful. read more

Racist Caucasian sales associate was incredibly discriminatory towards my special needs child. The rest of the individuals were nice but this guy was ridiculous. He physically touched my son by placing his hands in him. Reported to HR and they were not very helpful. They didn't see anything wrong. Horrible administration! read more

Just had the best help ever from a guy by the of Reggie. Hands down very helpful. Made our day!

Came here this morning to get stuff I needed for the restaurant, went in their website before to check hours of operation it say 7:30 open! Upon my arrival there was this older guy smoking outside the place! I get off my car to go in! And he rudely said we are not open, I said I checked your site and say 7:30 he goes yes but we cannot change that, false info there!!! I'm about the new life we living and understand, but you don't have to be that rude to a customer! That's all read more

If you love to cook and/or entertain Chefs' Toys is a great resource. The focus is on commercial restaurant/bar supplies. Many items are applicable to the homeowner - especially if you host several events each year. Bookmarked the FV location 3-4 years ago, never got around to visiting - was very happy when the Anaheim location opened a few years ago. They don't have food items like Surfas Culinary district - not a big deal for me - I'm mostly after hardware! Each place it's advantages - both rated 5 stars for supplies. Have made several visits since then - some of my purchases include: margarita salt rimmer and replacement sponges, bar drip trays and mats, condiment dispensers, bar garnish holder tray, knives and knife accessories, large spatulas, large pots, and grill cleaning items. They have Sheila Shine - the best stainless steel cleaner/polish! Bought my large Paella pan at Sur La Table (gift card) and later found a slightly larger one for cheaper here. Recently purchased a chefs coat for my Halloween costume (Mario Batali) and a case of beer mugs for my Super Bowl party. Some items may be overkill in size or quantity - you may be able to do a bit better price wise at Sam's/Costco (if they have what you're looking for). I had to purchase a case of 24 beer mugs - their price (including a Yelp check in discount!) was only $55 tax included). Just over $2 per mug. I shopped around online and could not beat their price - often the price was close to twice as much. In addition, they offer knife sharpening; you can download a complete catalog from their website. The guys working are mostly behind the checkout counter, not really out on the floor - there are always more than one; never any problem getting help, service has always been efficient and friendly. With a 10% off check in offer, Chefs' Toys is definitely a place to check out! read more

So you wanna cook huh? Well you got to have the right tools. And Chef's Toys got ya covered. They got everything you need and more. Ok so what you want to turn your kitchen into a restaurant full of cooking gadgets and gizmos? This is your place. Need to pull off a big party and need industrial size and quality then you got to go here because they have all kinds of good stuff at decent prices. I swear I have almost as much fun shopping here as Home Depot, and probably spend more time lurking the aisles of cooking fun here than the aisles of work and projects at HD. I've purchased lots of goodies here from fine strainers, to a manly garlic press. 2 gallon measuring vessels to pizza screens. A cool melon baller to a silicone Bbq Brush. Big ass tamale pot to a 1 egg pan. A great fillet knife and super flat top spatula. They also do knife sharpening here and when I drop off my knives I know that they'll be razor-sharp when I get them back. So whether or not you need an industrial mixer a barbecue a ice maker, spatula, keg-orator, salt n pepper shaker or anything else you could possibly think of for your kitchen they got it here. Every time I've gone there I always find what I need and even stuff I'll need for the future like those silicone cake pop rollers. Oh the goodies I could make! The staff here will help you find anything you need for your cooking fun and if they don't have it on hand (very unlikely) they know right where to order it for you like they did for my Forschner 12" fillet knife with the non slip handle. Oh yea they used to offer a Yelp 10% deal, used mine long ago. I'll be back read more

Cool store! Whether you're looking for a potato peeler, paella pan, knife bag or an industrial churro maker, they probably have it. I also liked the music they were playing...The Smiths and New Order. read more

Wow, very cool place with all you could ask for in your home or pro kitchen. Excellent quality professional grade supplies at low prices. Shame on Williams Sonoma for price gouging! Go here if you value actual function over glossy copper coatings. Huge selection, incredibly helpful and friendly staff, uncrowded, and excellent quality at fantastic prices. Large selection of baking supplies not easily found elsewhere. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, not sure why anyone would have had a different experience. read more

Chef toys has been growing and now has several locations. They carry pretty much anything a chef could want, and if they don't they can usually order it for you pretty quickly. Not as posh as, say, Surfas, but they get the job done. No gourmet foods, but every type of Lexan box, spatulas, knives, whatever.... I like the one at Fountain Valley, as its my "local" toy store. read more

We had been using a cheap-o pizza stone for making pizza at home and it literally cracked in half. When it happened, I heard it and thought, "really?!". So we needed a new pizza stone, obviously one that works better. We found one! It's big enough to fit a large size pizza on. My only issue with making pizzas that big is getting the whole thing on the stone. Chefs' Toys also offers knife sharpening service and carries Wustof knives. This is a really fun store if you're into cooking. The professional kitchen tools vs "civilian" tools, the difference is really night and day. Time to check on a new paring knife for me! Yay! read more

Very helpful staff. Good prices, well organized, and lots of fun stuff for someone who is not in the service industry. I had my knifes sharpened here and they came out well but they forgot to call when they were done. read more

Came in because I broke an expensive piece of equipment at my bakery. Everyone here is so friendly and Victor was really helpful and happy to help me out. We will definitely be back for more items we need in the bakery. They've got everything! read more
