I think this may be one of the smallest Trader Joe's in the area. It has a shared parking lot with other businesses in the shopping area which includes a Starbucks. Good luck finding a spot. Large metered public parking lot across the street for all businesses in Riviera Village. Meters take coins or credit cards and the minimum time is 1 hour. $1.50/ hr 5/26/24. Ahem. Sundays the Riviera Village Farmers' Market. Ok bye.

Trader Joe's in Redondo Beach is located inside a very small plaza that has a small parking lot to park in. I felt like this entire parking lot looked overcrowded at the time I went and it wasn't even on a weekend. The inside of this Trader Joe's is what you would see typically and overall I did find a few goodies to enjoy. I bought some tasty snacks and also some drinks for the road. The place is stocked well and overall I'm sure you'll be able to find your grocery items to cook up a nice dinner!

I love walking to this Trader Joe's location in Redondo Beach near my house. They have everything and have recently increased their produce. I love their healthy frozen food options as well as their protein selections.

This is a convenient location with everything you need in a Trader Joe's store that you'd expect. The service, as always is very friendly. Parking was easy for me in the morning, but I can see where it could be harder later in the day. The have lots of good packaged food items which are unique to Trader Joes and the TJ branded items are high quality.

Now, TJs is mainstream and does not operate as uniquely but the products they sell are still great, many of which are unique.

This is a great Ralphs. My daughter bought me the most lovely flowers that are still fresh and…read morehappy. They are just beautiful. The place is ever so clean and very well stocks. They have a great selection of more out of the Country foods. We love their produce section. They have a good selection of organic as well as other produce. They also have a great frig section where I can get my garlic mashed potatoes ready to heat up. The bakery is not the best but fine. The deli is very good with a fine selection. The service is great. If there is an issue with an item they will take it back (need your receipt). They keep the carts out of the parking lot and easy to get to. The staff knows where everything is. They also have a great canned section and some cute dog toys.

I will not be coming back to this Ralph's for a long while, or at all. I've been coming to this…read moreRalphs for years. Most of the staff knows me and are very friendly like family. I come here once a week to shop for myself and my elderly parents. I usually am rushed a do not have much time as my parents are alone at home. Last week Sunday, I noticed that they had installed some new security system on each entry and exit door at first it is not noticeable except that the lotto machines are enclosed now and hard to get to. I didn't think much of it at first. As I started shopping, I kept hearing the alarms go off very loudly throughout the store. It was annoying and hard to shop and concentrate on what I was getting, etc. The peaceful Store I knew was no longer peaceful. I finally made it to the cash register with my groceries. I usually spend over $ 300-400 here. As I started to reach the exit doors, I realized I couldn't play my lotto that I get for my parents the machine was closed off by metal bars. I was told to go around and enter again with my cart so I did .. I got my lotto ticket and proceeded to go back out where I came through because again the doors are enclosed so I couldn't go through the exit door because I couldnt it is blocked off the alarms went off and was told to make a U-turn and go through the store and out the exit door. I was approached by the manager that is always very unfriendly and seems to hate his job because he walks around like a zombie with no emotion and no expression and never greets anyone in the store that I've noticed throughout the years Ive gone there ... I was followed by him, but he never said a word to me. I then said to him what is the best way to get out of here he said through the self checkout, but I noticed the self checkout was packed with people in line. He then asked me what aisle did I purchase my items through and I said aisle nine I found an aisle that was empty and went through there to get to the exit door as I went through the exit door my cart wheels locked. I was treated like a thief and felt so embarrassed and betrayed by the Store that knows me for years and years . I was approached by one of the workers that used his remote to unlock my wheels. I'm sure the Manager locked my wheels as he didn't believe that I had paid for my items. I will not be coming back here. I felt that I was treated unfairly like a thief after so many years of coming to the store . I will take my Business else where . I will miss the workers as they are very kind, and always concerned about me and my Family.

We went to this Trader Joe's and loved everything except the parking nightmare. The lot gets full…read moreand you will wait and wait for a spot and some of the drivers are quite rude. The service at this one is just great. They know where everything is and will help you. The lines can get long, but it moves fast. The entire staff is nice. Their selection of products is great. I don't care for their cheap wine, but every thing else is great. I love their frozen section and they have a good vegan section as well. Their produce is good. Their prices are fair. My daughter saw some lovely flowers, so fresh, and bought me some. I love them. They smell great. If you can get there early in the morning the parking is not so bad and after dark it is okay. It is a really nice store.

I have a love/hate relationship with Trader Joes. If you get there before 10 am it is great. After…read morethat you can be trapped in the parking lot by an endless stream of cars. You can't back out of your spot. The drivers in the parking lot can be aggressive, but not where near Costco levels. I really wish they would move to an option to not get a printed receipt. It is just a cost for them to buy the paper. I am sure that is passed to us. The receipt just ends up in the trash. We are paying for trash. I mention the idea to the workers every time I check out and they always remark that they wish it was possible too. It is possible. They just need to do it.

I absolutely love Tokyo Central, it literally has everything and more. Every time I go, I spend…read more$100+. I used to think Trader Joe's was dangerous... no, Tokyo Central is dangerous. You go in for what you know, and that already gets you caught up, but then you also want to try something new because there's always something new to try. Sometimes it's a gamble, sometimes it's amazing and you're like "OMG! I need this every time," and sometimes you're like "what was that?" And you really don't know what it was because the descriptions aren't in English. The staff is always super friendly. If you go for hot food during lunchtime, you will get caught up because you'll want to pile your plate high and forget they weigh it & you can easily end up with a $24 plate on top of all your groceries. They have great sweet treats that aren't super high in sugar, which is a plus. Their ramens are my favorite. I've probably tried every one. My favorite is the one with the black pieces in it (I think they're mushrooms). I still haven't tried the mushrooms, but the creamy broth mix is everything. Their sparkling sodas are always delicious. My favorite is the Hello Kitty strawberry one. I told all my friends about it, and me and my sister go regularly. My sister loves the banana milk! Definitely recommend!

They have a lot of premade food options. Some are decently priced and some are on the pricier side…read more If you go at 7pm or latter they do mark down the sushi and other premade food by 20% off. The thing that's good about going to Tokyo central for premade sushi is that they make all their sushi fresh daily and what's not sold is marked down and got rid of before next day compared to other markets where they sell their sushi that's like 2-4 days old. They went viral for awhile for having a hot food bar, which looked like a buffet but in reality you grab what you want but it's $15.99 a pound. The pound adds up really quick and you end with paying like $30. The food isn't that great in the hot food bar in my option so I'd skip it. The market itself is very pricey it's not a cheap market. So if your planning on buying grocery your gonna pay high prices. I'd go here for a quick sushi roll or some mochi they sell a bag from Japan for $3.99 with red bean that's pretty good. One of my favorite food item is the umami chicken karage with rice that's pre packaged and if you can snag it while it's still hot that great. Its usually on a separate table on in the refrigerated section, It's the one with some teriyaki sauce over it, not the regular one. As you exit you can grab utensils, napkins, wasabi. ginger, soy sauce. Parking is a hit and miss, it's a popular market if you go there at lunch time it's packed or weekends. Personally I drop by to get a quick bite, sushi roll or chicken karage . They do have a food court that has a Japanese bakery, takoyaki , a katsu place. Upstairs they have a sushi bar which is unique I havnt tried it but seems a bit pricey but looks like quality. Looking for something Japanese in food wise, this would be one of the places to go to look for it. I don't know why it seems like every Asian market I've been to is so cramped and hardly any space when trying to get around with a cart. It's the same here.t
