A few weeks back I was hanging out with an old friend and as we started discussing lunch, poke came…read moreto mind. It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

It just tasted like salmon coated in some kind of sesame oil. I still ate it with snacking seaweed but I would not buy again. -Hatch chile Caesar wrap, I liked that the wrap was soft and not soggy. Chicken was grilled and diced, lettuce was crunchy and hatch chile tasted grilled and notably cold, came with Caesar dressing on the side. There was nothing wrong with the ingredients but together it just made a very underwhelming wrap, I didn't really taste any flavor from the wrap even with the help of the dressing. I also would not buy again. Ambiance 5/5 -They had a lot of ready-to-eat food options, both hot and cold. Even though I didn't like what I got this time, I'm open to come back and try other things they have.

This is my go-to grocery spot for all my Filipino & Asian produce, ingredients and snacks!

Although it's small, it's a hidden gem and has such a wide variety of goods! I specifically get all of my sauces here when cooking Filipino dishes and they have many items in stock that are normally sold out by the bigger Asian grocery stores nearby. Their produce is also always fresh and delicious. I've never had any issues with anything I buy here all these years!

Today, I was looking for baby items. The entire aisle was empty! I asked a woman in the pharmacy for help and she asked around then said she'd look with me. We found the relocated baby aisle and she let me know the store will undergo remodeling. I think it's great because it could use a new look. I do think they should've had a sign posted about the relocation as well as the sign posted about where to find formula. Ambiance is nothing special storewise and occasionally there are some nasty customers. For instance, a guy was walking around visibly sick and huddled over then sneezed without covering his mouth and I could see all the nastiness fly out of his mouth. I was so disgusted. I like the sales and the ease of self checkout. The lines can get long if multiple people need assistance at self checkout. I like what I assume is security at the entrance/exit. I've seen one follow people around. I also like using instacart pickup or delivery with this store. It's helpful when I'm busy and don't want both kids in the store shopping.

I went over to the produce section, and the new bags are absolutely horrible. I split five of them just trying to bag corn and ended up throwing the corn straight into the basket. Same thing with avocados -- they kept falling through, breaking the bag or ripping it. When I went to check out, there were no cashiers available. It was all self-checkout, and I had a full cart. I really didn't feel like playing Jenga, loading my groceries up and then unloading them back into the cart. I ended up doing more shopping, hoping someone would come back from break. When they did, it was packed and people were trying to leave. Very frustrating. I've been going there since it was Lucky Food Basket, then Vons, now Albertsons. I think I'm going to have to start going somewhere else. It's just not convenient anymore, and the upkeep is slipping. The people who work there -- the majority of them -- are incredibly nice. All of them are nice, but something's going on with that store!

Okay! So. I ordered Ribeyes last Tuesday evening for a pick up Wednesday morning. I got a call…read moresaying it was too early and they didn't have them out yet (which is no problem at all), and they gave me a rain check because apparently the evening before was the last day of their ribeye sale. I went in to grab the rain check (one rain check for FOUR PACKS bone in ribeye at 8.99/lb, and then TWO PACKS boneless ribeye for 7.99/lb. There was some confusion but everyone I spoke to was AMAZING. We went to pick up the ribeye today after calling and they said they had it aside for me. The manager at the front ringing us up to threatened to not honor our rain checks because they didn't make sense to her. She was arguing and raising her voice with the staff and it was a wild show. She was embarrassing the poor employees. After all said and done, she only honored the quantity of 2 on the bone in ribeye. Everyone else was amazing. The meat dept originally calling to let me know they wouldn't have it and I could have a rain check. To Bryan helping me out, and whoever I spoke to on the phone earlier today letting them know I was coming by to get them. The manager, however, is a demeaning miserable woman. Her poor employees. EVERYONE would get 5 stars, and her.... Zero. Place better management. A manager should lead by example and not treat people so horrendous. We even had to record her on our phone because she was making such a scene.

The Vons even though I shopped there from time to time needed a remodel big time. It was always a graveyard when I shopped there. Dirty old tiles, outdated fixtures and poor lighting was what I remember. Not that I didn't like shopping a uncrowded store. I just felt sorry for the business itself. Enter Smart & Final Extra, a refreshing updated modern store. It has that club warehouse feel but you don't have to pay for a membership of any kind. The aisles are no frills and you can easily find what you are looking for. You can shop weekly for your grocery and household needs with great satisfaction; but where they really shine though is when you are shopping for a party, BBQ or other special event. From paper plates and plastic cups to alcohol beverages to meats. This store has it all. One time I needed a good sharp knife to cut some carne asada for a tailgate party. I found the perfect knife there. I know dub that knife my 'carne asada knife'. They also have the biggest bags of ice anywhere. A big upgrade was needed for the old Vons. It has been answered by closing and reopening as a Smart & Final Extra. The new store is a welcome addition in our neighborhood. I am very happy they are here and look forward to shopping here for many years to come. Shop here.
