He overheard our conversation and kindly advised us that regular mulch bark wouldn't work for orchids, recommending us to go to Yamada Lawn Care in Gardena. I'm so glad we followed his advice, or we would have ended up using the wrong products,yikes! When we visited Yamada, Kenny was incredibly patient and helpful. He took the time to recommend exactly what we needed. We ended up purchasing the orchid bark along with a few other garden supplies.Yamada is a small, family owned shop that seems to be a go-to spot for local gardeners. If you're having trouble with your plants or flowers, I highly recommend stopping by and talk with Kenny. He really knows his stuff and will guide you on how to care for your plants, flowers, or trees. Prices are very reasonable.

I was greeted as soon as I entered and immediately offered help (I'm not the savviest) They helped me choose plants based on my vision, they even staged them to show me plans for how to plant them, and offered the most competitive price in the South Bay. The pricing was unbelievable - the haul I left with would have easily run me 3-400 at Home Depot - I spent less than $200. They also helped me load my car and lined my trunk so it wouldn't get dirty. These people are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and I cannot recommend them enough. I will be back for all my landscaping from now on. Today was my first time visiting and they have made a lifelong customer of me.

Warranty Experience with Chef's Toys and Mulberry Technology…read moreInitial Purchase and Expectations In 2023, we invested a total of $26,472.61, which included taxes and two warranty insurance plans, for a 3-door KINTORA refrigerator and a 2-door KINTORA freezer. Our initial experience was smooth and hassle-free, largely thanks to our salesperson, Estaban Aguirre. Unfortunately, we later discovered that Estaban was no longer with the company. The Issue Arises On March 6, 2026, the hinge of our 3-door KINTORA refrigerator broke, rendering the refrigerator unusable. Since we had purchased a warranty, we immediately reached out to Estaban for assistance, only to learn from Raul Flores that Estaban was no longer employed with Chef's Toys. Raul provided us with contact information for Mulberry Technology, who was supposed to handle our warranty claims. Challenges with the Warranty Process This marked the beginning of a frustrating ordeal. It quickly became apparent that Chef's Toys was not well-acquainted with Mulberry Technology. Raul initially gave us an incorrect contact number for starting our claim. He directed us to Joshua Wohl at Mulberry, who, while not involved in claims processing, was helpful enough to connect us with the appropriate department--after we had already experienced several unhelpful responses from Raul. After sending our purchase order to Karime, our contact at Mulberry, we learned that Chef's Toys had never registered our protection plan with Mulberry or transferred the necessary funds for our warranty. We attempted to follow up with Raul but received no response until we escalated our concerns to Chef's Toys' corporate office. Unfortunately, reaching out to their main line at 714-662-2433 during business hours of M-F between 9am-5pm only led to a voicemail, and our emails through their website also went unanswered. This is TERRIBLE! Resolution and Lingering Frustrations Eventually, Raul from Chef's Toys responded and offered a courtesy repair for our refrigerator door but informed us that our remaining warranty coverage would not be honored. This was frustrating, as we had already paid for the warranty. During this period, on March 25, the Health Department visited and deducted points from our inspection due to the non-functional equipment. We promptly notified Raul about the urgency, as another inspection was scheduled for April 6. Fortunately, the Health Department accepted our communication with Raul and a photo of the completed repair as proof. The entire process--from the breakdown on March 6 to the repair on April 6--took a full month. This delay was disappointing, especially given that waiting for a part should not have justified such a lengthy timeline; someone could have delivered the part to expedite the repair.

2.21.26 Hubby looking for a knife, I'm looking for a sharpening tool…read more It's a smaller scale store but I can easily spend at least an hour roaming the aisles. I love to cook & I see all the possibilities of the items to make life easier or more efficient here. My santoku is starting to become dull & needs sharpening. I couldn't my favorite chef 's knife (the whole knife block cannot be found!) Hubby found a chefs knife & he got me the sharpener. I told him I wanted to get the stone/honing block but he opted for the metal kind. The staff are super helpful & answered our questions. There so many "toys" I wanted to buy but I must resist the urge to amass more "clutter" (that's what Hubby calls it, but he reaps the benefit when he eats what I cook). I still need a dumpling rolling pin, but they only have standard types at this location. Aisles are fairly spacious & inventory appears well stocked, neatly arranged & sorted. Prices are fair & marked accordingly. It has its own designated free parking lot. Good shopping trip, met our goals.
