Half of self check out was closed, (which seems to be permanent now) so there were only three or four available, and I couldn't self check because I had more than 15 items. There were at least eight people in each of the 2 lines, waiting. There were about 4 people shopping the aisles, yet 16 in line! It's not the employees fault, there aren't enough of them! In the evening, they lock 1 door and post a security guard at the other to be sure you get the full ghetto experience. Go to Trader Joe's across the street, better prices and plenty of employees, very happy to help you! P.S. I once bought Marie Callender's frozen chicken pot pies at VONS, and they were green and moldy. If they had employees, these might have made it back to the freezer in time!

Totally made me feel nostalgic lol The store is gigantic, was fairly well stocked, and the staff was friendly. I will note however that the store feels super old. The floors are really worn in, and during my visit their freezers seemed to be melting/leaking? They had a roll of paper towels shoved under each one and you could definitely tell water was coming out of them lol Overall a solid Albertsons in Santa Ana!

The individual containers of fresh fruit look so appealing and delicious, like the dragonfruit, coconut, strawberries and berries, etc. Love the bottles of fresh watermelon juice! Tried their monthly smoothie for $6. The tropical date smoothie was very yummy and refreshing! Definitely worth it! Salad bar: full of vibrant lettuce and veggies. It was refilled in the time I was there. Big piles of lettuce! Good options to add and customize your salad. Pasta salad, broccoli salad, Caesar salad and sweet potatoes were available. Everything looked so fresh! They also have soup available. Hot bar: good options with protein, sides and pizza. They also have rotisserie chicken, burritos and bowls. I bought a bunch of burritos, which my boys love. At home, we crisp them up in a pan. So good! Nice display of fresh guacamole and chips. Nice cheese display and samples of parmesan crisps, which was delicious! Natural Living dept: the shelves are nicely faced and full. The vitamin staff are friendly and helpful!

Kevin is the man--very knowledgeable and professional. Yes, prices can be a bit higher, but I see it as an investment in my health and my family's well-being. You also find products here that aren't available at most other stores. Of course, like anywhere, people can have off days, but that's normal and not something to judge too quickly. Sometimes negative reviews don't tell the full story, and from what I've seen, the team does a great job handling all kinds of situations with professionalism. Overall, it's a well-managed store and I consistently have a positive experience.

A smaller family operated supermarket which has everything a huge supermarket would handle from produce,meat and wide selection of groceries.The owners mentioned they have been in business over 55 years. They must be doing something right as the store was very busy and the owners knew all the customers names.I bought my snacks and then complimented the owners for having a business for such longivity. As I was about to drive away, one of the owners flagged me down to inform me, one of my car tires was flat.I didnt even realize that I had a flat.They were even nice enough to help me change my flat.Now, thats what I call real service. **** Wally, Ken and Guy , you guys are great.Not only do you operate a successful supermarket, you're great mechanics.Who needs AAA towing afterall? ****

The cashier was kind enough to prioritize my purchase first when someone else allowed me to buy first since that individual is mindful and understands that I only got one item. This place is also close to Chapman so I can easily walk here and get a couple of gift cards instead of just walking to the Target on East Chapman.

The store was clean but everything is super old and is in desperate need of an update. No cashiers were on duty with just the self serve express lanes open. I was going to purchase some wine but would have to waste more of my time trying to get the employee to ring me up at another station as I just wanted to get in and out of there in a flash.

Value too Good to Avoid…read more I broke down and went to two stores because of the amazing Food 4 Less Independence Day sales. I bought quite a bit of fresh produce at bargain prices. Still, I couldn't find everything I wanted here so I also shopped at Albertsons. The cashier whose name started with X was really amazing. She was so fast and polite and cheerful and knew all of those produce codes by heart. I would say she was the best part of the visit besides the Rainier Cherries and Beef ribs I scored at a deep discount. There is a strong creepy factor at this location yet still I seem to be drawn back in spite of the leering at the door. I returned again last week for 2.47/lb Milanesa Steak which is a frequent sale item here. I sliced up two pieces and was able to feed my family of 3 steak teriyaki bowls for less than $5 overall. I also picked up a 2 lb bag of irregularly sized frozen shrimp for less than $8. Those two items made it worth the trip. Overall, I would recommend this as a bargain shopping destination. I suggest going with a friend.

I fully support the other comments noted about poor customer service. I asked a general customer…read moreservice question to cashier Viridiana M. and she brushed me off to go ask another department. My question had nothing to do with anything that other department specialized in. I thought to myself maybe this was just a one off. So I purchase groceries and stand back in Viridianas line to get checked out. I get to the front of the line and she frantically says "I need a minute". Not a problem, who doesn't need a minute now and then? Over the course of the next 5 minutes she kept not just me, but the entire line on hold while she counted money and frenzied through her register area looking for something she misplaced. This type of service is just rude and unprofessional. I am not the first person to opine on her poor work ethic, through Yelp and perhaps this needs to be addressed by upper management/corporate at this point. This particular location had a relatively large selection, but they didn't have one of two items I needed. My point is, you might have better luck shopping elsewhere. The age old adage "you get what you pay for" proved true.

I'm extremely upset and disappointed with how I was treated here. I arrived at 11:55 PM, five…read moreminutes before the posted closing time of 12:00 AM, because I literally just needed to grab some milk. A man was walking in ahead of me, and the security guard let him inside. But as soon as I approached the entrance, the guard closed the door on me and told me they were closed. I pointed out that it was only 11:55 and that the sign clearly says they close at midnight. I even explained that I only needed milk and would be in and out. His response? "Too bad. We close five minutes before every day." Seriously? Then why does your sign say you're open until 12:00 AM? What made this even worse was that as I was walking away, another man came up to the door AND THE SAME SECURITY GUARD LET HIM IN. So apparently the store wasn't actually closed. He just decided who he was going to let inside. What kind of customer service is this? If you close at 11:55, POST 11:55 AS YOUR CLOSING TIME. And if you're going to refuse entry because you're "closed," then that rule should apply to everyone, not selectively depending on who walks up to the door. Absolutely ridiculous and incredibly disrespectful. WTH are you guys doing?

I had a really disappointing experience at this store and honestly felt disrespected throughout my…read moreentire checkout interaction. From the moment I got to the register, the cashier seemed visibly irritated and had a bad attitude when we approached. There was no greeting, no basic customer service tone, just immediate tension that made the interaction uncomfortable. While scanning my groceries, she handled my produce very roughly. I had items like fruits and vegetables that bruise easily, and she was tossing them without care into the conver belt. It honestly felt careless and unprofessional, especially for items that clearly need to be handled gently. I tried to stay polite and asked if everything was okay because the energy felt off, and her response was dismissive and rude, saying something along the lines of not knowing what I wanted her to say. That alone made the interaction feel even more uncomfortable. There was also confusion about a promotion, and when I asked for clarification, she did not explain anything clearly. Instead, she responded in a sarcastic and unhelpful way and made the situation more confusing instead of resolving it. At one point she made a comment about an item I questioned and instead of assisting, she brushed it off and seemed annoyed that I was asking questions about my own purchase. Overall, the entire experience felt unprofessional, dismissive, and discouraging as a customer. I've worked in customer service myself, so I understand people can have bad days, but this went beyond that -- it felt like there was no effort at basic courtesy or respect. I left feeling frustrated and honestly unwelcome as a customer. I hope management addresses this because no one should have to feel that way while simply checking out groceries.
