This is a small market that sells specialty grocery, small bulk section and fresh produce. The prices are great and the produce is fantastic. Very friendly customer service and recently remodeled. There is a small parking lot along the side of the market. If you're in the area it's between Magnolia and San Jose on Glenoaks.

Store opened around 2010. Very small, hard to shop if there are more than 3 people inside. The owner is questionable at best and does not like to be confronted if there is something wrong with his stock. I have a friend who went in and the owner sold him soda at half price, turns out the soda was all expired. He also opens up packages of butter and sells them individually. If you ask for an expiration date he gets mad. My friend also bought some Armenian bread. Went back 6 days later and got the same thing, except it was not fresh, it was like sheet metal. When my friend questioned the owner he said it was ok and wouldnt take it back. He stated it was a different kind, even though my friend had the other package at home for comparison sake and it was the same, the 2nd package was stale. Again when my friend asked to take it back, the owner refused. The next day my friend called the bakery's phone number on the back of the package and they said it was stale as well, and that the owner was trying to get rid of old stock. My friend then called the health dept as the owner, on three occasions has sold expired items to him and then turn around and say they are fresh. Very bad business! Cant be trusted. After the owner found out about the health dept, the owned had a friend call him pretending to be from the health dept and they more or less threatened him stating that he could not prove any of his allegations. The next day when my friend went back the owner told him that he could no longer use his credit card and that he would be doubling the price on anything that he tried to buy. Today my friend went back again and the co-owner was there and told him that he would triple the price on anything he tried to buy on his next purchase. Is this really how we do business in the United States? I dont think so!!! The is guy is a thief and a liar and has no respect for his American customers, do yourself a favor and stay away!

I desperately needed a large grocery store open at 2am recently and saw Vons at this location was…read moreopen. This was the first time I've shopped there. After awhile I started to find what I needed and picked up a few other items as well. Was very surprised at how many shoppers were there at this time. I can't say enough about the cashier. She was very helpful and patient as I was fumbling through the checkout. The produce was good, as were the prices and the cashier made sure I received all the discounts available, which were significant. Overall an experience that was better than expected!!!

This is my go-to grocery store. I love their selection and their rewards program through their app…read more I've never had any difficulties finding what I need. It has a great selection, it's clean, and the employees have always been friendly. I also appreciate that this store values inclusivity and gives meaningful employment opportunities to people who might not always be given the chance elsewhere. The only thing that has been a bit of a hassle has been renting their rug cleaners. The wait is often long (been stuck waiting for assistance for more than 30 mins on multiple occasions). I was also given a faulty rug cleaner that I had to come back and have replaced, which was kind of annoying to have to lug it back to the store and then once again wait to get a properly working one. But, all that aside, this continues to be my favorite store.

I had a frustrating experience at this Ralphs location today. I was using self-checkout and…read moresearched broccoli crowns that was clearly labeled "broccoli crowns" for $1.49. When I selected that option, it rang up as $2.49 instead. I called over the attendant to fix it, since you obviously need an employee to delete or correct an item. I explained the situation, and he looked at me like I was asking him to do something outrageous. He even looked at my friend to say, "Is she really asking me?" It was honestly uncomfortable and unnecessary. Who else would I ask.. All I needed was help correcting a pricing error. It was Sunday around 3 PM and the store wasn't even busy, so I don't understand the rude attitude. If you're assigned to self-checkout, assisting customers with issues is literally part of the job. Customer service makes a difference, even during small interactions. This one just left a bad impression.

This store has greatly improved. This place was so bad for a moment when I started coming here…read moreagain almost 3 years ago now. But what has changed is the rude staff are all gone (in my experience), everyone who is there now is friendly or at least neutral to me. Better than rude or awful. The speed at which checkout moves is fast or at least acceptable now. It used to be extremely slow, but it's greatly improved. You also used to close the self check out relatively early which now I notice you do NOT, which I am VERY appreciative of. Frankly I just can do it much faster than anyone and I prefer it to get in and out quickly, so thank you for keeping it in place and open later than you used to, that keeps the human cashier lines manageable. I'll buy wine so that's why I may need the human to help me out. But nothing more annoying to me than it being 10pm and there's 1 mile long line with full carts and all I need is 2-3 things, well that experience pretty much doesn't happen anymore which is very much appreciated. I find your evening staff to be notably most friendly, they're talkative but not obnoxious or slow and I feel comfortable coming through the line if I have to. There's a couple annoying things, like a few annoyingly narrow spots you have in extremely busy areas, I can't figure out why you have so much stuff directly in front of the cereal + chips aisle. People cannot pass through there easily, every single time I come here I bump into someone, like easily a 99% success rate that I'm going to crash into someone. That's not good. Same goes for too much stuff down the middle of the cheese/deli meat section near the bank, makes passing nearly impossible at times, then again near the self checkout you always have a lot of liquor which makes passing difficult. Customers don't like having to pretend it's a stop sign intersection to pass by, we just want to shop not have an island of liquor impeding progress. Another thing that bugs me is this is the only Ralph's that doesn't put clearance tags on the frozen food section stuff. Why? I've gotten mixed answers. One guy told me it's because the tags don't stay on because the packaging is wet from the freezer, well that's BS because other Ralph's stores do it just fine and the stickers aren't coming off. But another time I saw a guy at the self checkout take something from a woman who said she didn't want it anymore, so he went directly to the clearance door and just chucked it in there. So basically he didn't have time or care to find the true location (fair, he's working self checkout not restock) and so it ends up in the clearance spot, when it's not actually priced as so. Which makes people just buy it because they think it so on sale when it's not! A third time, I asked how to even know what the clearance price is? The guy told me "you find out it at the register". Well I want to know now, not when you ambush me into it and then we find out it's not on discount and you just throw it back into the discount section to repeat the cycle. Isn't that insane? Ultimately though the 2 gripes aren't going to keep me out of here anytime soon, I just thought it may be worth explaining.

2 Minute Read: Back in the 1990s, Ina Merlo, a very good…read morefriend, would ask me to drive her here and there. Ina was born in 1892 and when I met her she'd just turned 92. She reached 104 yrs/o. Why do I mention Ina? When she wanted to grocery shop, she'd ask me to drive her to PAVILIONS in Hollywood. She told me, "Pavilions is a little more expensive but everything is the best!" So, PAVILIONS it was and PAVILIONS, it stays. Two days ago, I went to the aBurbank PAVILIONS, as I was a'hankerin' to make Turkey Giblet Gravy from scratch. As usual, it was a pleasant visit. Any questions you have, they Staff is always ready to help out. At the Deli, I was treated by a Lady with a nice smile. I ordered rare roast beef, and turkey. I requested they'd be sliced on the slicers number one thickness. I told the lady I'd be back in a few minutes. So I went to the meat department A young Attendant greeted me very happily. I asked her name, "YAJAIRA", she replied. YAJAIRA went out of her way to help me get what I was looking for, and did it wit such gusto, that I was impressed. Anyway, Ina was right! PAVILIONS is the BEST. Thank you.

And their go to when they haven't heard of a cut is "we don't have it". How do you know you don't have it if you don't even know what it is?

As a loyal customer of this establishment for over two decades, I have consistently visited the…read moredeli and meats department at least once a month. However, I am compelled to rate this establishment one star due to a particularly unpleasant experience with a female deli employee whose first name begins with the letter "J." Despite my frequent visits, the overall customer service in the deli and meats department has declined. The season butchers have been replaced with individuals lacking the necessary experience and customer courtesy that were previously present. Over the past three months, I have encountered the same issues with this particular employee. It is important to note that the fee charged for slicing a Tri Tip into a carton container is not the primary concern. The issue lies in the employee's behavior and attitude, specifically their unwillingness to properly wrap the sliced meat. This has occurred on multiple occasions, most recently at the checkout counter when the cashier pull the foil-wrapped package from the plastic bag causing the juices of the meat to spill all over the counter. This has happened to me every time this employee has served me. The Tri Tip sliced meat is dry and devoid of juices due to this careless employee's failure to wrap the meat carefully. It is imperative that this situation be addressed. Management should provide this employee, "J," with proper training on how to wrap sliced food correctly. Additionally, it is crucial the ambiance that all employees, including the deli and butcher employees, maintain a pleasant and friendly demeanor. A salutation is always appreciated. Despite these concerns, the BBQ remains outstanding as always.

First time visiting an Aldi store and i was not disappointed at all…read more On Sundays, they open at 9AM FYI because I got there early and noticed that it was still closed ( at 845AM) and also important to note, there are early birds already pulling up to start their shopping. The store layout is unique here compared to other markets that I shop at frequently. Still, they had fresh, beautiful fruits and veggies at very competitive prices. In example, I got a mint cucumber bag for under $2 a pack of 8. I came for the ahi tuna steak which are tasty when prepared correctly. They carry a little bit of everything, from food items to office supplies, hygienic items, toys, etc. Not a huge store but there is plenty to browse. The check out process was different; when it was my turn, the belt where all the items scroll on, ends at the moment where you are about to pay; making it awkward and a tad bit pushy to bag your own items quickly, as they may fall due to the limited space left there for your items. Overall, a pretty cool store to add to my list.

I am a long-time Aldi customer and shop at this location four or five times per week, which is why…read morethis experience stood out to me. On the afternoon of June 12, 2026, my 14-year-old son and I checked out with Olivia. We had only about a dozen items, and there was no one waiting behind us. Since my son is not accustomed to Aldi's self-bagging process, he was trying his best to bag our groceries but was moving a bit slowly. Rather than adjusting her pace, Olivia continued scanning rapidly and placing items into the cart, including some in the child-seat area. At one point, our half-gallon of milk nearly fell out. I understand that Aldi's business model emphasizes speed and efficiency, and I generally appreciate that. However, customer service should still matter. Because there was no line behind us, I was surprised that there seemed to be little patience for a young teenager who was genuinely trying to help. When I commented that things felt rushed, my concern was either misunderstood or ignored. At the end of the transaction, Olivia held my cash while waiting for space to place a frozen pizza that was still on the scanner. While her explanation made sense operationally, the overall interaction felt cold and unnecessarily rushed. Perhaps she was having a difficult day, but the experience came across as impatient and passive-aggressive rather than helpful. I want to emphasize that nearly every other cashier I have encountered at this Aldi has been friendly, patient, and accommodating. This review reflects one disappointing interaction, not my overall opinion of the store. I will continue shopping here, but I hope management reminds employees that efficiency and courtesy do not have to be mutually exclusive.
