    My dad just went to "El super Market" here in Arleta CA on Van Nuys, and he bought 18 ct eggs and they charge him $16.47 for eggs that are 2 weeks old. Can't believe that some of these companies are willing to gauge people that much. Ralph one of the most expensive markets charges $12.99.

    Wow it was my first time coming to this El Super. My friend invited me here to have lunch. Which I wasn't even aware they sold food here. I was surprised with the prices the food was very affordable and tasted great. The red salsa was on point the chicken and rice too. I did not do any grocery shopping so this review is just for the restaurant side of the Super. Will definitely be back for more food lol.

    On 8/25/2023 I went to buy some quesadillas, I was beyond grossed out, there was two quesadillas with MOLD & FUZZ growing on them. This is outrageous and disgusting of the employee to put it out in the shelf for customer to buy it. IDK who in their right mind would put these out there.

    Amazing cake taste amazing

    Thank you so much to the bakery department they made my son amazing cake on time and very fresh will order again more soon thank you so much!!!

    Esta señora Blanca es la peor. She had an attitude for no reason and is awfully rude. If she doesn't like her job she needs to quit & El Super can hire better employees. It's ridiculous.

    This Sprouts has been my regular grocery store for about five years. I often use Instacart for my…read moreshopping, a service I've paid over $100 a year to use. It's worth the convenience, but I recently discovered that I can use the Sprouts app and get the same great service without the membership fee! I'll be cancelling the Instacart subscription when it's up for renewal. I want to point out specifically that the Instacart and Sprouts shoppers--I'm not sure whether they always overlap--are wonderful. The only one whose name I know is Juan, but I've had at least five other shoppers who have all been great. They always read the notes I write ("please make sure it's Italian parsley and not cilantro!") and are very responsive in the chat while they're shopping. The shoppers are a true asset to the Sprouts team--I would really like to be able to leave tips for them, which I don't think I can do. So why remove a star? Because a week or two ago, I was making a meal and realized I was missing a component (gluten free baguette). I looked at the Sprouts app, found the brand I wanted, and headed over for a quick trip. What I encountered was the most haphazardly "organized" gluten-free selection I've possibly ever seen. I can't imagine how the professional shoppers stand it! I guess they probably have things labeled by location. But if someone wants five different GF things, they aren't all in one spot--EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A SECTION OF THE STORE LABELED "GLUTEN-FREE!" There are basically two ways that stores can do it: a) spread out among different sections: GF crackers with all other crackers, GF cookies with all other cookies, GF breads with all other breads, GF frozen pizza with all other frozen pizza, GF frozen dinner rolls with all other frozen dinner rolls, etc. This is what Sprouts currently does, except for the random "gluten-free" section. b) consolidated into one comprehensive section containing the majority of GF items and brands (Schär, Udi's, Glutino), with an analogous freezer section containing all specialty GF items (so you wouldn't find GF hamburger buns with all other hamburger buns, or GF frozen pizza with all other frozen pizza, but they would be in a dedicated section nearby and labeled GF). If you see a section that says "gluten-free," would you expect that it's fulfilling option b? There's an understanding with either system, of course, that there will be other places around the store where we can find GF items; hopefully they'll have the little "gluten-free!" store tag, but we always look at ingredients anyway. I'm sure that they designated that section many years ago, when there were far fewer products and less demand. Now, selection and offerings have grown exponentially, and they've had to change the way they shelve gluten-free items. But it doesn't make any sense that there's a marked gluten-free section, and then other gluten-free items sprinkled around the store shelves with their gluten-full counterparts. It makes it really difficult to make sure you're buying the right item that is safe for a person with celiac disease. Sure, not every person who eats GF products has celiac, but if gluten can make you extremely sick, it sure would be nice to feel safe when selecting items. As with buffet-type situations, I'd venture to guess that most GFers would rather have our safe foods siloed to one area to avoid mistakes and cross-contamination whenever possible. I mean, sure, I don't like feeling excluded or singled out, but if the other possibility is getting sick, I know which one I'd choose. And I bet there are a lot of products I'd like to know about but end up missing! TL;DR: this Sprouts is a great store and I love shopping there *online*! Please, please consider redoing your GF selections.

    Sprouts have made my life easier when it comes to shopping for prepared meals, bowls, protein…read moresides, etc. Their "ready-to-go" meals make it very convenient for me so that I don't have to cook dinner late at night after a gym workout. This week I have stopped by twice because I was craving more of their spicy ahi tuna bowl. The store appeared clean and stocked for the most part. I even picked up two yogurt parfaits. I am trying to eat cleaner lately and buy as I need only; to avoid food waste. I will have to visit another location to compare what each store offers. I want to build my own family meal and utilize it for meal preparation during the week. This store is in a plaza with large parking lot. It was not busy or crowded during the time that I arrived. I appreciate the store hours being late so that I can stop by after a gym session. Overall, Sprouts is one of my new fav stores.

    I have come to this Food 4 less several times as it's close by and in a convenient location to me…read more Parking is plentiful but there's a little bit of concern by some of the people who hang out in the parking lot, sometimes I've seen some possibly shady behavior on the side of the building. Inside the store is very clean and the shelves always stocked with everything I need. I feel like the customers here are friendlier than at other stores, people don't seem rushed and they actually smile and move their carts if they think they're blocking you from something in the aisle. I do feel though that frequently the lines are long and it's a little limited on how many they have checking people out. Allot of the cocktail cabinets are locked now, so when you want to purchase something for a cocktail you have to push a button and wait for one of the limited employees to be able to come to help. However other things like Beer are not locked. I don't remember seeing anything else locked in this store. Food 4 less shares the lot with some restaurants on the other side and a gas station, be careful when leaving the lot as the traffic on parthenia is always zooming by and it's sometimes hard to get out of the lot.

    Food4Less is one of those stores I always forget about but when I come in I always think 'why am I…read morenot coming here more often?' there are so many great deals on every day items that it's a great place to come to get essentials. I will say their produce is lacking (in my opinion) but for packaged goods and basic meats, it really is a great option. Don't sleep on it. The interior is really a no thrills kind of place. You're not really coming here for the decor though. I also find the checkout process an area that could be improved upon. Often times it gets backed up with the checkout people just wanting to get you through there without any concern for the previous customer who, more often than not, is still trying to get their items bagged up. But once again, you're coming here for good prices. You need to understand that there are going to be 'sacrifices' in other areas.

    Five stars all around for this recently opened Trader Joe's. Not only because it's convenient, but…read morethey have plenty of parking and it is less hassle. I like this location because it is modern of course because it is new, but it is pretty big and spacious and the Customer Service is amazing. I encountered many employees that were very nice and literally walked over to the aisles with me to show me what I was looking for. You can never go wrong with Trader Joe's prices and healthy options that they do have. This is now my new favorite Trader Joe's to go to, I am so happy that this open in Northridge. Everything was fully stocked and easy to find. However, the only thing that was bad was that the restroom was very dirty, but I did tell one of the employees about that situation and they said they were gonna handle it. Otherwise, the customer service was phenomenal and they were fully stocked with everything that I didn't need with amazing deals. -Marshay D.

    Typical Trader Joe's. It's pretty but also a bit smaller than most Trader Joe's, but it feels…read moremodern since it's newer. This location used to be China Buffet, one of my favorites growing up and got me through my days at CSUN. I have a fond attachment to this location because of it, and I will surely miss it. At least something great took its place; however, I don't know if I can ever get past seeing my old favorite buffet as a Trader Joe's. I am heartbroken but glad CSUN has a Trader Joe's now.
