*** Only accept Visa or Mastercard for spending over $100 ***…read more Rivera Food Service is a wholesale restaurant supply store selling bulk food/drinks cater to mostly Mainland China shoppers. This of this place as warehouse version of Hawaii Supermarket. Membership is not needed and anyone can just walk in. [Parking]: Limited free parking spaces and the parking lot was packed when I came here on Saturday afternoon. [Selection & ambience]: The warehouse here was less organized than its next door competitor NTFOODS with bulk cardboard boxes stacking up in middle of each aisle. Half of aisles led to dead end and I had to constantly make multiple small detours within the store. This place was even harder to navigate than NTFOODS. I also smelled unique Chinese herbal scent that you can only find in certain Asian supermarkets. They do sell boxes of fortune cookies here as well as a small fresh produce section. No electronic tags here vs NTFOODS. Some items are actually more expensive than what you will find in typical Asian supermarkets or even Costco. Personally I would much rather visit NTFOODS over Rivera Food Service (all located in the same plaza.)

This place is located on Baldwin Ave just after the bridge and before Lower Azusa if you're heading north on Baldwin. There's plenty of parking here since it's basically a warehouse that is open to the public. This place is cash only if you're buying under $100. They will accept credit cards after that amount is met. Be sure to check the prices for produce, such as the vegetables, they may cost more than Supermarkets outside of this store. They carry a lot of different sauces, bulk refrigerated fresh noodles, frozen meats and seafood, take out boxes and also boba supplies. Yes, you heard right boba! They sell boba toppings in huge containers as well as the cups, straws and drink mixes. Anyone want to open their own personal boba shop? Well they can grab some stuff here. If you like hot sauces or cook with a lot of chillies (numbing ones included). They sell the peppers here in bulk. They also have sauces, like soy sauce, sesame oil, dumpling soy sauce...etc. Ever wonder where you can buy a big bulk of fortune cookies, well they have them here for sale. Selections may vary throughout the week and day due to certain businesses buying up the stock.

The old boss lady looked at me like I have no money or I'll steal her pots and pans. She followed me isle to isle. She howlered to me "Hey! You take my things outside no come for return!". Omg, is that how she says hello to her customer? I picked out the stuffs my girlfriend sent me here, came to the counter to pay and off course the same grouchy lady helped me. Again, the rudeness just oozed out from her mouth " You don't come back for return understand!". That was it, I just left a bunch of things on her counter and walked out. I didn't bother to say a word to this lady because I refused to teach her any manner, not my job! I gave another store my business and happy with my decision.

Right now they're undergoing renovations so it's chaotic looking. Great selection of items, it's like all other locations, staff are helpful. I prefer the layout here because I'm used to having the entrance on the RIGHT & the EXIT on the left. Since it's still Los Angeles county, the sales tax here is more compared to the Inland Empire or Orange County. The prices overall are competitive to regular grocery stores but it's a warehouse so you may essentially shop for everything here-- if you have a big enough of everything to store it.

During my recent visit, the cashier, Liz, treated us disrespectfully because I had a large purchase. Instead of providing customer service, she told me I should use the self-checkout. Customers with two carts should not be made to feel like they are an inconvenience. This experience was disappointing and unacceptable. The attitude of both the staff and management at this location appears to have deteriorated. This is not the first time I experienced bad service at this location recently.

A Costco-sized warehouse devoted to food and food-related stuff. 1,000 10-oz paper cups at .02 per cup? Yes. It's a membership place, but no fear. Stop by the front desk and get a free "day pass" to get VIP membership treatment for the day. Food first? Fruits, vegetables, meat, frozen stuff, you name it. Costco pricing. Paper goods, cleaning supplies, pots and pans -- that stuff goes on for miles. Everything is neat and clean and well organized. They have all the cool commercial-style kitchen electronics there, too. I got my industrial looking microwave there that feels like it weighs 100 pounds. Long line at checkout, as most customers are buying A LOT of stuff. But no shade on those shoppers getting just an armful or two. See you there.
