13 yrs later and still a complete vibe! They have moved with the world and continue to differentiate themselves from TJs which they've in some ways competed with for over a decade! Service: no frills no thrills but you bet they will take GOOD care of you. Quiet leaders that simply get ish done and they're like a machine! Don't worry if what you want is out they can likely make it or find it quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: one table to sit and enjoy your purchase if you got a yummy cold pressed juice, smoothie, or a cold or hot snack or meal. Small boutique grocery store meets food mart.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food selection: they have delish sushi made to go on the spot and fresh pre made options! They have pre seasoned meats for those quick cook at home meals. Delish ready to go cold pressed juices and smoothies (highly recommend the Golden Milk with tumeric ginger vanilla coconut milk or water etc. Also recommend the chicken fried rice when freshly cooked at lunchtime! Also their fruits veggies and Asian cooking and food selections are fantastic. Parking: pretty easy in a decent sized plaza type lot. I imagine weekends can be tricky with TJs traffic. Forgot about this spot as I moved long ago, but will be sure to stop in when I'm in the area! Great vibes and mad respect to a business that has survived the test of time, competition and a major pandemic! read more

I finally stopped by this little gem and I'm honestly surprised I never knew about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great variety, fresh sushi, and the ambiance is just right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has that calm, old school mom and pop market vibe that makes you want to stick around and browse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The women working there were very nice and super helpful. The sushi was wonderful. They also had a bulgogi cheesesteak and that was bomb. Truthfully, it might seem a little pricey at first, but considering the area you're in, it makes sense and honestly it's worth it. One tip though. Make sure you read the labels before grabbing your sushi. I accidentally picked up a few pieces made with brown rice, and personally I thought the ones made with white rice were much better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

I'm always on Yelp hunting for good food spots, and Farm Boy ended up being a really good find. I grabbed a sushi roll that was half California roll and half spicy tuna, deviled eggs and sticky mango rice, and it was honestly so good. Everything tasted super fresh, like it was made that day and not just sitting around. They also have a bunch of Asian snacks, sauces, kimchi, fresh juices, and even sandwiches and if sushi isn't your thing. It's one of those small markets where you walk in and suddenly want to try everything. The best part? The sushi was so good I ended up coming back the next day for lunch with my coworkers. That's always the real test. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the mood for something fresh and flavorful. read more

Oishi! Freshly rolled sushi made from scratch, kimchi, Asian sauces, freshly made juices and tempting Japanese and Korean chips. As well as fresh produce & yummy sandwiches and pastas. My favorite food is Japanese, Thai & Korean food so everything here was to my liking. They used to have a frozen yogurt machine here but they got rid of it because they were running out of space the kind lady at the front told me. It's a very small family run business, everything is made fresh daily so you get different items all the time. I got the sushi roll that had California roll and half spicy tuna with some freshly made Ponzu sauce. It was so flavorful. The rice was perfectly made. I think that is one of the hardest things to get right when you make sushi, is that rice. Ambience wise, it was fairly empty that day on a Friday evening. Very calm inside, I noticed all the workers in the back were Hispanic and spoke Spanish. The two ladies at the front appeared to be of either Korean or Japanese descent, they were very kind and polite. Everything is definitely on the pricey side. The sushi roll that I got & a bottle of mineral water cost me around $14. Nowadays that is about average for what you spend when you buy food. The parking situation is very tight because they share a parking lot with Trader Joe's. It can be a little chaotic to find a parking spot. I'm so happy to have an Asian marketplace nearby! read more

My favorite local mom and pop grocery shop store market with fresh produce, great deals and those amazing pre-made noms including wraps, salads, sandwiches, sushi rolls, soups and more! You can grab a premade juice or have them blend up one for you in the back. They share a lot with Trader Joe's currently (soon to relocated just across the street). The vegan egg rolls are out of this world and they often have them hot and fresh for you to purchase in front as well as those decadent cookies. Lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free items as well. Aside for small grocer market essentials they offer some great miscellaneous items including plants, masks, self care items and more. Bottle and canned beverages are quite the assortment from green tea to still or sparkling water, olipop, bai, gatorade and even cbd beverages. The customer service is stellar. Even though the prices have slightly shifted up to keep up with times, the quality never changes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still a cool clean store with great staff, some limited cafe style seating in front, seasonal items and street or lot parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Farm Boy is located off Riverside Drive/Hazeltine Avenue diagonal Bloomingdales at the Westfield Fashion Square - Sherman Oaks. read more

Farm Boy has become a Valley staple. The sushi is so yummy, and they have some really amazing products. The produce is on the higher price point, but I honestly come here for the sushi. You also can't go wrong with the homemade banana bread either. read more

Love having this place walking distance from my house. Fresh fruits and veggies and pre made foods. The date/peanut butter/banana smoothie and soba noodle salad with spicy dressing are my faves! read more

Excellent local market with a large selection of sushi, Korean side dishes, fresh juices, fruits, veggies and more. The sushi cut rolls are humongous and are very fresh. I normally do a quick pop-in to pick up a spicy tuna cut roll to go and it never disappoints. The fish quality is superb, as you taste freshness in every bite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a cool, small-size store serving the Sherman oaks community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The customer service is always friendly. Enjoy coming back here for sure! read more

Farm Boy - Salmon, cream cheese and avocado. - Grocery Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Farm Boy has quickly become one of my go-to spots for fresh, flavorful Asian food. Their menu is full of variety, from crisp chicken salads to handmade sushi and everything always tastes incredibly fresh. Today I tried their beef bulgogi plate and it was absolutely delicious! Tender, perfectly seasoned, and they do not skimp on portions, which is such a plus in today's dining world. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in both the food and the customer experience. Whether you're grabbing lunch or something to take home, Farm Boy delivers quality every time. Highly recommend! read more

A great little Korean mom and pop market. Their strawberry smoothing hit the spot. Parking was hellish, though. This would definitely be a regular haunt for me if I lived or worked nearby, but it's not worth a special trip. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place. The sushi is an extremely limited selection and the prices are higher than at my local sushi spot. I picked up a spicy tuna hand roll and a California cut roll and both were just meh. There wasn't enough rice in the hand rolls and the rice on the California roll was kind of slimy. I picked both items up before noon on a Friday so you would expect them to be fresh but these seemed like they could have been sitting for a while. Doubt I'll ever return. read more

It's a special little hidden neighborhood gem - worth driving out of your way for. Excellent customer service, great sushi platters and other delicious treats and hard to find favorites. read more

I have had a lot of spicy tuna rolls in my life. Farmboy spicy tuna roll is top 3 easily. Heard about farmboy thru ig and it seemed to be popular w locals so I had to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in a super busy parking lot adj to Trader Joe's, farmboy is reminiscent of the Asian supermarkets u would find in garden grove :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small, no frills and packed with plenty of Asian pantry staples, excellent lunch options, rly cheap fresh juice, & ofc amazing sushi :) will def be back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Picked up a poke bowl and it was delicious. The fish tasted fresh and we brought it home and ate it with rice as it only had veggies with it. I like the vast selection of Japanese pre made sushi's and foods they had to offer. It's nice to have a little Asian market near by to pick up our goods. Will definitely come back to try more and when we need a restock! read more

I love farm boy they have amazing spicy tuna and spicy salmon with crispy rice. We also usually get the spicy cucumbers.

Best sushi! They have other great items like salads and ready made food for the go. I love the fresh juices they sell. I have been coming here for years!!! read more

I come here multiple times a week for the sushi and the miso. It is always phenomenal. The price is super reasonable for how great and fresh it tastes. I really like their farm Poké bowl. It's more of a salad, but they really do not skim out on the salmon and the dressing that they use is amazing. The miso soup is so freaking good read more

Absolute gem if a store. Fresh sushi, hand rolls, juices and sides. Good selection of fresh vegetables or fruit. I was so worried theyd be a victim of the new trader joes but because both stores are staying open they are ok for now. Love this spot read more

Farm Boy is a hidden gem for premade Korean food!! I'm only disappointed that I am JUST NOW learning about it. Great little grocery store! I highly recommend the Kimbap, kimchi (regular, cucumber and radish!), marinated bean sprouts, and marinated meats! They even have mochi. Yummm! They also have dry goods, veggies, fruits, fresh juices, and more! They are my go-to if I don't want to drive all the way to ktown or northridge. Parking: They share a parking lot with Trader Joe's but I can usually find a spot. read more

I love supporting small businesses and this particular one is a tiny Korean market located in the Trader Joe's in Sherman Oaks shopping center. It seems they excel in prepared foods that they make "in-house" in the kitchen in the back. They also have sushi rolls if that's your thing. I spotted some gimbap (Korean sushi rolls for $8.99), but maybe I'll try that next time. Along with some Korean and Asian (and gourmet) products, they sell produce as well. Some of the items they carry are less expensive at larger grocery stores or at Trader Joe's or even Aldi's and some seemed less expensive. The organic strawberries were a reasonable $1.99. They have interesting baked goods for sale and I was scoping out the Asian and American prepared foods and didn't see the use of MSG. I picked up some kimchi, limes that look promising (hoping for juice!), onigiri type or flavor I haven't seen at the Japanese grocery store, and ginger candies to help me get through an upcoming cruise. read more

My favorite local, and treat myself type of joy. They have the best products fresh : )

I've driven by this place countless times in the last decade and I finally stopped in today. This is a cute little grocery store with produce, Asian sauces, snacks, and a wide selection of grab and go food options. I really wish this place was by my work or at least on the route because there were so many things I wanted to try! But today I decided on a spam, chicken katsu, and bulgogi musubi, along with a sesame spinach salad. The salad was fresh and flavorful. Nice and light with the perfect amount of sesame oil for flavor. Spam musubi was tasty and well seasoned. Haven't tried the other two musubis yet but I'm sure they're equally tasty. There is also a fresh juice bar and miso soup (which is behind the counter at the entrance) that I wish I saw before I finished paying because I definitely would have gotten some of that too! Other things available that I hope to try in the future: various sushi, katsu sandwiches, jap chae, summer rolls, the list goes on. read more

I'm obsessed with this place. They've got amazing premade meals and the store itself is clean. They have fresh squeezed juices and a small selection of fruits and veggies. They have a small parking lot that is adjacent to Trader Joe's. I highly recommend coming here. They also have homemade peanut butter and homemade ramen noodles read more

A friend of mine has been telling me to come here and I'm so glad I did! This grocery store is tiny but mighty. It had everything I needed and more. I bought two sushi rolls, 3 Korean side dishes, some produce, musubi, fresh juice, and pantry essentials like soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar. Despite its small sauce, I feel like there was more that I didn't get a chance to take a look at. Already looking forward to my next visit and I'm hoping to try their kimchi and the butter mochi! read more

I love farm boy! It is a small Asian inspired market with lots of Japanese and Korean delights. They also have a plethora of ready made food for quick lunches, or even breakfast (yogurts and juices in the back). The food is a mix of Asian and American foods like sushi, Chinese chicken salads, Korean noodle salads, turkey sandwiches, tempura, and chicken katsu. If you're not looking for ready made food, you can shop for fresh fruits and veggies, with better quality and usually better prices than Trader Joe's next door. If you're looking for meat, that will be in the freezer section only unfortunately. But, they have amazing Korean beef and chicken bulgogi! Don't forget to grab a mochi cake in the front for dessert! read more

FARM BOY I LOVE YOU! I crave their premade meals. They have so many fresh and delicious options that are great meals when you are in a pinch or have a craving for some delicious Asian cuisine. When I am feeling lazy about making my lunch, I stop in and pick up a few meals for the week like their soba noodle bowl, chinese chicken salad, poke bowl or bibimbap. A lot of the premade food is vegetable based so the meals always feel really light and healthy. Also the quality of their sushi is GREAT! Not what you would expect from a tiny little market. Fish is always fresh and they don't skimp on the fish in their rolls. I feel like their produce can be hit or miss, but they usually have big beautiful fresh roses that are always fun to admire. I also always get a BIG container of their brown (purple-ish) rice and miso soup. Both are behind the register so you can ask when you check out. At the register you can find all of their delicious baked goods. I have been eyeing the chocolate chip cookies for a while, but I've only ever tried the banana bread. If you haven't been to farm boy, you are REALLY missing out! Pop in on your next lunch break! But don't go right before they close because they will be sold out of most of their premade goodies. FYI they also do sushi platter catering! read more

Delicious fresh food. So many options, sushi, deviled eggs, macaroni salad, yummy smoothies, so much!

Farm Boy is Sherman Oaks' local mini market. They sell everything from fresh juices, sushi, produce, grab & go items to frozen meats (did someone say bulgogi?!). Note they have a heavy asian influence, which means you can find asian produce & eats - on the flip side, it is a small market so you can't find everything you need (i.e; bread, flour, etc). I've personally shopped here for the past 8 years and they never cease to amaze me - not only with their selection, but with their ever so friendly staff. Even with the most recent pandemic, they have stepped up their game to provide even more essentials that they typically don't stock (toilet paper, paper towels, eggs, oats, dry pasta). **Support Local Business!** - Hungry but don't have time to cook? Try their grab & go items! Personal favorites: egg salad sandwich, chicken katsu sandwich, fresh green juice, musubis, pickled cucumber salad, deviled eggs, fresh wonton soup (they serve you at checkout), seaweed salad, bean sprout salad - or pick from their ample variety of sushi! If you're having a sweet tooth, try their homemade pastries & tiramisu at the counter or in the mini fridge right when you walk in. - Produce selection on point. Herbs, veggies, fruit (precut & whole) - Misc items that you may not find everywhere: FRESH KIMCHI, Kewpie Japanese Mayo, Seaweed wraps, Wonton Wraps, a huge selection of dried fruits, nuts & candy at the back of the store by the juice section, trumpet mushrooms, bean sprouts, fresh flowers. Side Notes: - They offer vegan pastry & grab & go options - They date everything - so check to make sure you're getting the freshest grab & go item. - Parking is shared with Trader Joes. read more

Farm Boy is like that one trusted friend, you can always call and they're gonna come thru for you. I've only been in a couple of times but it's always when Trader Joes doesn't have something I need. Enter Farm Boy, to save the day. Most recently I needed a cup of shredded coconut, Trader Joes was out and apparently has been for quite some time. I told my son I needed to pop into Farm Boy to see if they did, not only did they, they had a TON of it. Super yummy, super fresh, WAY better than Trader Joe's shredded coconut. Totally saved the day, the day being my Banana Bundt Bread - ok, not mine but Chrissy Teigen's - yea yea is she still canceled...? Who knows and idgaf this recipe slaps and I love making it. I really need to stop sleeping on Farm Boy and just give them the attention they deserve, tons of fresh produce, gorgeous fresh flowers, great customer service. They take credit/debit cards with a minimum $5 purchase, with everything priced so low I had to scrounge up some change to come up with a couple bucks for my coconut. Fantastic store, show them some love!!! read more
