Fun place to browse if you love kitchen gadgets. I had a great time walking around the aisles, there's so much to look at. It's a little pricey, but they seem to have everything you might need. I picked up a Lodge griddle, tongs, a bench scraper, a mini measuring cup, and two mixing bowls. The store was really clean and well-stocked. read more

Hands down a great kitchen supply store. Great prices, lots of options, and chill but very helpful staff. Adrian helped us and he was very knowledgeable. Definitely will be returning and highly recommended! Thank you Adrian and Chefs Toys! read more

They're not cheap very expensive well the white variety of selection of kitchen toys for chopping and cooking. I recommend online way cheaper, but if you wanna selection to choose from a good material, they do have good stuff but expensive. read more

amazing assortment of kitchen stuff for the seasoned chef or the beginner. Everything is high-quality.

Huge selection, so much fun to browse the whole store! I don't own a restaurant so I just come in here to shop for my home kitchen but there's plenty here for me, the variety and prices are so much better than shopping at Target. The people working here are really friendly and helpful too! read more

I have always wanted to check this place out when I am cruising on Miramar road. I do not own a restaurant but I do like to cook. I went there one Saturday afternoon, there were a lot of items that are used in restaurants. (restaurant appliances, enormous pans and pots, utensils, food storage displays, knives, kitchen gadgets, prep bins, sauce bottles, etc) They basically have everything and anything you could think of and more. I ended up buying a few items that I've always wanted. I now know what they have to offer so they will be on my list if I'm looking for something specific that most places might not have. I only spoke with one guy that worked there. He was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

This review is strictly for lack of customer service. Called in this morning at 8am and spoke to Jesus. I provided a specific item I was looking for and a part number. Jesus told me he'd research the item make sure it's in stock and call me back in 15 minutes, we confirmed my phone number for the call back. Never got a call back. So if you're looking for information that requires a bit of quick research and a call back, I'd make sure to speak with someone other than Jesus. read more

I shop at Chefs toys multiple times a month as I'm a regional manager for a restaurant chain in Southern California. Today my restaurant in Del Mar needed a new rice cooker because theirs broke. I currently have norovirus so I called to see if I could purchase it over the phone and send an uber to pick it up. He said "how about we just deliver it for you" he took my info over the phone, and sent his driver to drop it off in lesss than one hour. I loved them before, but I love them even more now! Thank you so much! read more

I was looking for glassware for a party and was unable to find what I needed anywhere until I came here, 12 piece Libby coupe set for a reasonable price. They have tons of beautiful glassware in different styles and large quantities. In case I need anything else for events I will return here for sure !! :) read more

Chefs' Toys - Libby Coupe cocktail glass 12 pieces - Knife Sharpening Near Me - San Diego, California

We had heard good reviews about Chef's Toys knife sharpening service, so we took some of our Henkel knives for a professional sharpening. When we got them back, they were sharp, but the lines of the knives were absolutely ruined. If you have good quality knives, definitely avoid this place. Let me explain. A quality knife (these *were* excellent) has a nice rocker from the tang to the tip so that as you rock the knife while cutting food, they make good contact with the cutting board all along the blade. When ours came back, they had removed way too much material from the mid point in the blade, leaving a gouge in the blade curve and ruining the most important part of the knife shape. It's obvious that the person doing the sharpening didn't know what they were doing. We will NOT be returning, and you should definitely find some place else to take your good quality knives. read more

Went to the new Chefs' Toys in San Diego for their grand opening event... whoa! Such a rad location! Bigger and brighter than their old location that was on Carroll Way. The new location on Mira Mar is awesome and I'd highly recommend read more

Did not have what I was looking for which is a propane flare. But staff and the store was amazing if you own a food business and other stuff highly recommend checking them out if you are in Miramar read more

Dropped off some knives for sharpening and got them back the next day. Well done! Easy

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice selection of items with some unique items I did not expect. Parking was an issue only because our stopping in a last minute decision (we had a large vehicle at the time). The whole place was as I expected; warehouse style. Bought some items for my son in law the backyard cook/smoker. I would return read more

Nice location. I was sent here on work errands to find mounted soap dispenser for the restaurant I wait tables for. Polite staff here helped me out right away and I got what was needed. That's what I was reimbursed for. For me, I will be returning shortly to pick up some accessories for my home cocktail making. Great selection of the shakers and mule-mugs etc. Thank you guys read more

MY PRIME STOP for my pans and other tools I need to run my baking business. Nothing is bad or poor quality of this store and I can't explain enough how many times I've come here in a pinch and they have everything that I ever need in stock. All my pans, piping bags, and cooling racks come from here. I've told so many people about this store and my cousin is STOKED that there's a new location in San Marcos. And the commercial kitchen I rent is also in San Marcos so it makes it REALLY convenient if I ever need to head in again for last minute tools. Location is always clean, and Annabelle was amazing when she helped me out. I've been in and out a couple of times so she may not remember me but she's always given me a great experience. Once me and my husband move into our new home, I'm convinced that almost or all of our kitchen equipment will come from here. Thank you THANK you, Chefs' Toys! read more

If you are trying to get your equipment fast and a timely manner please avoid this place I ordered 2 shelves far were supposed to be delivered by the following Wednesday it took 2 weeks. Then I had to drive up multiple times and they order the wrong ones. It took a month to get 2 simple shelve. I should have just order to webrestaurant since it took longer . read more

If we could give them 10 stars, we would! We're opening a restaurant east of Miramar and we've been going here to get supplies. Will, especially, is awesome. He's been a huge help and we're glad he's been there walking us through the equipment and giving us advice. read more

This place is really nice. I'm just some random dude and went in today to get one offs. They didn't give me a hard time for not buying in bulk or anything, nice. There are some neat benefits to the place, like if you want a spatula they have 30+ types and sized and materials etc. They essentially have a ton of stuff "normal places with cookware" don't, and most everything for better prices. read more

Very helpful, I walked in clueless and got the help I needed to make up my mind on what I needed for my needs. The employees are great at following up on inquiries through email and respond promptly. Im happy stopping in everytime, thank you. read more

Love Chris! He is always so helpful and in a good mood. I love the layout of the store- clean organized and helpful staff.

Mark here is absolutely wonderful -- he bent over backwards to get us a brand-new three-door True Refrigerator in record time. We're taking delivery tomorrow, and we can't wait to get it. Thanks, Mark and Jesse -- you run a great store here!!! read more

Annabell and Chris were very helpful. This was our first time here and we have just started a baking/French macaron business. We have friends in the restaurant business and we would definitely love to tell them about this place. This place doesn't get too many local residents because it is well hidden between miramar/Mira Mesa. Thank you guys! read more

I bought a refrigerator $3,600 item from them. Overall a great experience with Price/Service/and Delivery. Delivery guys did everything possible to move in and out the old and new equipment. Glad their delivery service included taking the equipment inside the building and not just "drop ship" like others. They took off old refrigerator doors and door frame so the old fridge could be taken outside, and then installed everything back to its place. Manager called us to make sure everything was done correctly and to our liking. I recommend Chefs Toys for first time equipment buyers. Great people. read more

Worse place ever. I had a 5,000 dollar warmer breakdown several times and they take their time to get you taken care of. They are great at taking your money but fixing any problem you have with the product is another story. Will never buy anything here again. read more

I rang before I came and chatted with someone that was very friendly. The place is pretty cool and the prices are great. The friendliness continued during my visit, walked out paying about half the price I found online for griddle. Yay. read more

I always thought online deals are much better than in retail stores, but not this time. I was shocked when I saw one appliance I was looking for my business in Chefs Toys at much better price than online. So I bought it. Thank you, guys !!! read more

First we called to inquire about a specific item - woman who answered was extremely helpful and nice. Stopped by and found the parts for our restaurants sink and much more. Thank you Anabelle for being so accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

First off, REALLY NICE GROUP OF PEOPLE!! Everyone here is super helpful and very informative. They order their items in bulk and that keeps the prices low. Ever wanted something in a restaurant that you can't find in normal stores? This is the place. I'm a home cook that had a lot of chef friends and it helps to have access to the same equipment that they do. Been here two times already and already planning a third visit. Check them out!! read more

The item I purchased did not work well, but since it had been used, the store refused a return and also refused store credit. I would not make another purchase at Chef's Toys. read more

I love this place the employees are very friendly i met Chris and Mike today and i found a lot of stuff that i use for my business as far as pricing it's are good not too expensive and the only carry good quality items i will be shopping there again read more

I have purchased many pieces of equipment from this company and every single time there was some problem or another with it. I had 2 ok experiences with them I bought an ice machine and fridge from them they came took the old appliance away and brought the new appliance in. But I had some terrible experiences as well. I went to the store to look at dish washers. After talking to the rep and finding a suitable dishwasher they said it is an easy install simply plug it in and attach the soap lines to it and you should be good to go. They forgot to mention there was no plug attached to the machine. Even the delivery guy said they usually come with plugs and when I spoke to the company they said they never ship with plugs which is fine I just wish I had known when purchasing. When I ordered the stove they told me it would be delivered on this date between this and this time. We close down the restaurant for lunch to move the stove in and out. They tell me the oven is held up in traffic it won't get there till the next day around noon. Great so we close for no reason. Next day I get a call at 6 in the morning saying they're outside with the stove. I rush over and get it taken care of. Couple days go by and the cook tells me the oven doesn't work. We almost never use the oven and I figure the cook simply hasn't turned some knob to let the gas flow so I don't take care of it for a while. Couple months later we need the oven so I try to set it up and find it doesn't work. I'm still in my 1 year warranty so call up to get it repaired. After spending hours on the phone with chefs toys and the manufacturer being bounced around between both finally, the manufacturer sends someone out and tells us they won't fix it because we are using too large of pots. Nowhere in the manual does it say to use any size pots or warn about using large pots. The pots we use are on the larger size but not hanging off the stove in any way. Chef's toys tells me their hands are tied and they can't do anything. After only going to them for all my equipment I'll never go to them again. read more
