I find Ralphs has semi small aisles; this Ralphs location has semi wide aisles, which I appreciated. Plenty of parking. The location always has an item I'm looking for. Alcohol selection is good. Bakery is very nice. Pharmacy and even key machine copier is in the store. I can get most of what I want from Ralphs.

This place used to be a gem in the Valley. Now it feels like it's actively trying to make shopping…read moreharder. Aisles--especially around the pharmacy--are routinely blocked or cluttered, so just getting through the store can be a hassle. Then there's the decision to lock up a large portion of the alcohol and spirits. I get the intent, but the execution is terrible. I'm not going to stand around waiting for someone to unlock a $5.99 bottle of triple-sec. Literally. --I'll just leave and buy it somewhere else. Which brings up the obvious problem: there's rarely anyone around to help anyway. If you're going to lock up everyday items, you need staff available. Otherwise, you're just creating friction and losing sales. The store overall feels overcrowded and poorly maintained, which only adds to the frustration. It's a pretty stark decline from what this location used to be. At this point, with Trader Joe's, Pavilions, Whole Foods, Gelson's, BevMo, and Costco all nearby, there's really no reason to deal with the hassle here

I surprised the guy by not being guilty and was glad that Cindy from the Gelsons Staff was there as a witness but the incident has left me shaken and upset. There were also witnesses by the people who collect money for charity outside the back exit and am grateful that they were also present. Gelsons really has some employees with major personality flaws - not sure if it's a racial issue but you'll notice many others in reviews noting their profiling of racial groups - this is no longer a pleasant place to shop for me and I don't think I'll be back unless certain individuals are no longer at the store.

This will be my shortest review to date, but this Ralphs location has become my favorite Ralphs in…read morethe Valley for many reasons, especially today. I called the Seafood Department to place an order for some fried fish. I had called last Friday around 7:30 p.m. to order fish, but it was too late. Anyway, Adrian (sorry if I misspelled your name, sir) answered the phone and was very polite and courteous while taking my order. Now, this is a "you buy, we fry" service inside a grocery store, so I wasn't quite sure if I could call in an order. But after my last visit, where I placed an order and walked around the store while the fish was frying, I honestly didn't see why they wouldn't allow it. I originally wanted catfish fillets, but they were out. Adrian offered catfish nuggets as a substitute, but I passed. I then asked for red snapper or rockfish, but they had neither. I moved on to cod, but at $19.99 a pound, I said, "Not today." Finally, he told me they had tilapia for $10.99 a pound, so I ordered two pounds. He asked what seasoning I wanted, and I told him I wanted to try all three -- Cajun, lemon pepper, and one other that I can't remember. He told me it would be ready in 12 minutes, and when I arrived 12 minutes later, it was ready! It was fresh, hot, and delicious. I could hardly wait to get back home and eat it all lol. I will definitely be back next weekend. Thanks again, Adrian. :-)

She is Jewish and Sherman Oaks has a big Jewish community here. The neighborhood is not the best because it borders Van Nuys. But to the subject, I like shopping here. Parking is annoying here, and they need to hire more employees. People do steal from here. I have seen security chase them. Some of the employees may seem rude, but I have not come across any yet. But I still like shopping here when in the area.

I really love this Trader Joe's Sherman Oaks location -- it feels brand new, bright, and very well…read moreorganized. Shopping here is always a enjoyable experience. Parking is super easy and convenient. You just drive up the ramp, go through the gate (it opens automatically), and there's no ticket needed. You even get one hour free, which is a huge plus. There's plenty of parking both underground and at street level in the Citrus Commons complex. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's in general and shop here every week. What makes this store special is the selection -- you can find so many unique products that you won't see in other grocery chains, including a lot of European-style foods. Some of our favorites are eggplant spread, sauerkraut, frozen sweet cheese pancakes (blinchiki), pork dumplings, and many other great items. Prices are reasonable (around average), especially considering the quality and uniqueness of the products. The staff here is incredibly friendly -- honestly, one of the nicest teams I've seen in any grocery store. The atmosphere is always welcoming, clean, and easy to navigate. Another great bonus: there are actually two Trader Joe's stores right across the street from each other on Riverside Drive. This newer location is bigger, brighter, and has even more variety. And if one store is out of something, you can simply check the other -- so convenient! Highly recommend this location -- we're lucky to have it here in Sherman Oaks!

I also did my grocery shopping to get it out the way. It is on the smaller side, now that I spent a little more time in there browsing, but able to get what I was looking for. The aisles are spacious which makes the store appear bigger but it ain't. I did my rounds pretty quickly and it wasn't crowded. Pretty stocked up otherwise. The only downside: the female cashier who checked me out yesterday did not bag items for me (other places they do it automatically) that was odd. She stood there as I bagged them. Haha ironically the cashier behind her had a buddy who was assisting in the bagging process with the cashier(short staffed? Or selective?)

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.

Pharmacy staff are great and helped me fill a prescription that was having distribution issues, they're fantastic. However, as the Amazon Fresh in Encino has closed,I recently started Pavilions grocery delivery.On one occasion I called the store requesting to switch my order to pickup and although the staff told me "no problem pickup anytime after 8" a delivery driver attempted to deliver it anyway. I figured that was a mixup and they did issue me a full refund. I placed the order again and it was delivered the next day without any issues..right to my front door. I was happy. Then I ordered delivery again and my apt complex gate is wide open for deliveries. I live in a large complex with roughly 400 units that consist of 4 buildings enclosed behind a gate. No driver called me that they needed help finding my apt, I was at home waiting for my food. The driver left a photo for outside near a dirt road? I could not find my groceries I searched everywhere and contacted chat immediately. I even sent a pic of my door with my unit number to show where they should have been delivered...clearly not the same as the delivery photo. I was told I would be getting a refund from chat representative, but here I am 4 DAYS LATER and no refund is even pending! The transaction went from pending to fully being charged on my card! I will be filing a chargeback on my card and canceling my fresh pass to stop future deliveries and I will never shop at any Albertsons owned stores again, they've completely lost my business. Guess I'll try Ralph's now. I have attached the delivery photo along with a pic of my front door as proof btw!

This was my first time here at this location and I am a frequent shopper of TJ. We asked if there are any more totes because what was out at the bin is only 1 color. After checking they brought out the rest of the colors and we even helped them arranged the bags on the bin. I was in line to pay and all of a sudden the cashier told me " I remember you, you were here a while ago to buy those tote bags." I told him it's my first time at your store. He then continued saying "no you were here I remember you. I REFUSE TO SELL those tote bags to you. " he was loud and with a sarcastic smile on his face when I insisted that it's my first time and he can checked with the guy that brought out the stock. He still will not believe me so I went to another cashier. I asked his name and I took his picture. I left the store so humiliated and afterwards I went back and complained to the girl in the customer service. I also called the store again and asked for the manager and told them about my experience with NICK. The cashiers name is NICK. NICK I HAVE NEVER FELT SO HUMILIATED IN MY LIFE. YOU SHOULD BE FIRED. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION. The tote bags that I bought will be a gift to a friend. I do not make a business out of the tote I bought. Anyway here is the picture of this guy.
