Food4Less Great…read moresavings and deals that definitely impress! Needed a few things for the holidays, but also to stock up on the everyday and can I just say, F4L came through in lots of unexpected ways including in the frozen, produce and dairy sections, okkkkaaay!! The non-dairy milk was/is abundant from Almond to Coconut, Cashew to Rice, classic Soy and even Pea. Beyond grateful for all the Beyond Meat products at the BEST deal in town. Not to mention MorningStar, Impossible and everything in-between. Great snacks, juices, and so many 2 for 1 specials. We found parking right in front in their parking lot on the corner of Sherman Way/Hayvenhurst Avenue. All the staff was personable, even the security was quite the warm person during our visit. While some produce was low, we still managed to find fresh mushrooms and spinach. Shopping with my family we discovered a great bakery area as well, not mention a holiday cake for my mom, niece and nephews. I discovered cookie dough flavored Oreos and dairy free ice cream for myself. During the holidays and peak hours the parking lot is definitely still a zoo of sorts, but be patient, take your time and you'll get in and out easy. I'm not a frequenter of Food4Less locations with other reasonable places closer to me, but this is the closest location and one I'd recommend in the Lake Balboa area of L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, just off the 405 fwy passed the Van Nuys Airport. Typically open 6AM - 12AM/Midnight every day of the week with some differing/reduced hours on holidays. If you been to any Food4Less you know you self bag your groceries. Their plastic bags are super nice, clear and sturdy with the logo on each side. Good spirit selection, locked up in front. Also great wine and beer options, we definitely grabbed so things for Christmas and New Years. Hoping to return again soon for any and all occasions now that I know I've been sleeping on this grocery gem for a bit. I did frequent the Reseda and Canoga Park locations when I lived on the west side of the valley once upon a time ago, but this is definitely one of the more well put together and kept up locations.

I feel sad this TJ store will relocate close to end of year by hazeltine and Ventura blvd next to…read moreTaco Bell. That place would have even less parking and parking not free if you park elsewhere. I think this original TJ store in Sherman Oaks is the best TJ store for seniors, since parking space even in this small parking lot is always available. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Today 3/21/26 after attending church service near Sherman Oaks we passed by the store to get a set…read moreof Trader Joe's bags. 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. This is a guy that should be taught a lesson.

Food4Less is one of those stores I always forget about but when I come in I always think 'why am I…read morenot coming here more often?' there are so many great deals on every day items that it's a great place to come to get essentials. I will say their produce is lacking (in my opinion) but for packaged goods and basic meats, it really is a great option. Don't sleep on it. The interior is really a no thrills kind of place. You're not really coming here for the decor though. I also find the checkout process an area that could be improved upon. Often times it gets backed up with the checkout people just wanting to get you through there without any concern for the previous customer who, more often than not, is still trying to get their items bagged up. But once again, you're coming here for good prices. You need to understand that there are going to be 'sacrifices' in other areas.

I have come to this Food 4 less several times as it's close by and in a convenient location to me…read more Parking is plentiful but there's a little bit of concern by some of the people who hang out in the parking lot, sometimes I've seen some possibly shady behavior on the side of the building. Inside the store is very clean and the shelves always stocked with everything I need. I feel like the customers here are friendlier than at other stores, people don't seem rushed and they actually smile and move their carts if they think they're blocking you from something in the aisle. I do feel though that frequently the lines are long and it's a little limited on how many they have checking people out. Allot of the cocktail cabinets are locked now, so when you want to purchase something for a cocktail you have to push a button and wait for one of the limited employees to be able to come to help. However other things like Beer are not locked. I don't remember seeing anything else locked in this store. Food 4 less shares the lot with some restaurants on the other side and a gas station, be careful when leaving the lot as the traffic on parthenia is always zooming by and it's sometimes hard to get out of the lot.

They also sell hot food items here, there's a counter selling food. You can even sit here and enjoy your food. A freshly squeezed juice bar is my favorite here as well.

So I tried a different piece and decided to open it and not only is it fried dried brown pieces there a big piece of skin which is nasty. Is it chicken skin or maybe employee skin?

Which is sad because many out of work people would like a job.

as many others have pointed out this store has gone downhill over the past years and is…read moreexperiencing real problems - it has a very unfriendly feel to it now and after my experience on 5/21/26 I don't know if I'll be returning unless fundamental changes are made - their Loss Prevention team decided to profile me again and this time stopped me at the exit demanding to go through my bags and check my receipt. 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.

There are deli…read moreoptions, desserts and salad bars for those that work in the area, in addition to the regular items we all shop for on a regular basis. I found finding the items I wanted rather difficult, compared to other Gelson's markets, although I might just be biased using their La Canada Flintridge store as a baseline. I would shop here if in the area, as it has so many options to choose from.

Ultimately, I know Smart & Finals is one of the stores I can count on for bulk and individualized unique packaging that works in your favor.

When I walked inside, the cakes is on the right side of the entrance so it was convenient for me. They had some nice options for a whole cake but I just wanted a slice. I saw some flan which I know my wife would love so I got her that and a slice of strawberry cake. I walked to the produce area and it was nicely organized. Everything looks fresh and they were fully stocked. I went to the ice cream aisle to get some crunch ice cream. I used the self checkout which was simple. I had an issue where it couldn't detect the weogh of the cake so I couldn't pay, I went to ask a worker nearby and she fixed it for me.

This is a Bargain store. The prices for most of the items are reasonable and cheaper than other…read morestores. If you like an item, I would suggest getting two or more because next time you go. They might not have the item anymore. For service, I would say that customer service is okay. Cashiers can be friendlier. They have really nice seasonal items. I usually stop by during the holidays to see what they have in stock. I would say wine and beer is really cheaper than other stores surrounding. For parking, this store has a parking lot shared with other stores. Therefore, it might be hard to find a parking spot in front of the store during rush hours.

The store is a decent size inside and it's well organized. I walked around the store and I didn't find the teas until I was about to checkout.

The prices are reasonable on certain items. The staff are very friendly and polite.
