Albertsons

Not sure why but the employees have become really rude. Last night I asked an employee who was walking through the store on his cell phone, but he never answered me. I asked again, excuse me sir, nothing. Kept on walking. I understand if it’s his lunch or break time I understand, thats fine, but please tell customers, sorry ma’am but I am on my break. Then I tried to ask another employee at the customer service desk and she answered me but gave me a nasty attitude. I’m really surprised at this. But won’t take my business there and be treated poorly.

In the Seattle area, I don’t really like to shop at Albertsons because they seem to be rundown compared to other grocery stores in the area. This location at Norhpark Plaza Shopping Center is decent looking which I attribute to the location in Irvine in which store design matters to compete.
The layout is organized and spacious. The produce and deli is on the right hand side. I did notice that this store seemed to have Asian grocery products that you wouldn’t find in the Seattle stores so they are clearly tailoring to their customers as Irvine has a large Asian population.
As for the prices, I thought they weren’t that great. The Seattle stores seemed to be better priced. If you are looking for produce, you are better off shopping at Korean markets like H Mart and Zion which offers bargain prices and the product is fresh and of good quality. Though I like that they don’t require a store card to get their sale prices. For American groceries though, I would still shop at this Albertsons if I lived in the area depending on what they have on sale.

Fresh produces all the time and great service !!!
I live vey close and Albertsons is always my stop if I need anything last minute for dinner
Parking is never a problem and inside is clean.

This place is expensive but it’s close to home. The big reason we go here is their huge produce selection. We spend $ 30 a week alone buying herbs and veggies for our 2 bunnies. Problem is that when we lived near a food 4 less with the same products it would only cost us $ 15. Womp womp.
I love this grocery store though purely because it is never crowded. Seriously. Like crowded here is a normal day at any other grocery store. I even went ON THANKSGIVING and it wasn’t bad at all. They still had a ton of selection, it was still all organized, and you could actually breathe. Amazing.
I especially love their huge selection of international items.
There’s just one aisle that throws me off every time. If you can’t find something it’s on this random aisle that is the first aisle coming from the produce area. Nuts, velveeta, coffee, crackers? All those things could have a home elsewhere in the store that makes sense, but nope… they’re on this random aisle. So if you’re ever confused, just go there!
Lines are never bad because it’s never crowded, and the workers are all very friendly and helpful.

I never thought I would find such delight for going to the supermarket, but it’s truly pleasant at Albertstons!
They have so many options of anything that you are looking for. As well, fresh produce, meats, seafood, and poultry. Everything is very clean and organized.
However, the best thing about Albertsons is truly the customer service. WOW! Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and sweet. Debbie from Seafood was very kind, and we had a wonderful conversation. Since I bought half the store when I visited, someone even offered to help me with the groceries. I must admit I almost teared up as I am not used to such kindness at the supermarket, lol.
Anyhow, I will definitely make this my to-​go supermarket. It’s close to our home, affordable, and awesome people!

Yesterday I went to this Albertsons market by my house. I forgot an item and realized when I was in the check out line. Marie M. told me they had a brand of the item on a good sales price. I was donating it to Families Forward, so a better price meant I could buy more of the item to donate. Linda P. was kind enough to get the items for me, so I did not have to go looking for it. I just stayed at the front. I appreciate the great customer service I received from both these helpful employees. They really made it a pleasant shopping trip for me by saving me time and helped me donate more to Families Forward with the great sales price on the item.

I use the self checkout line so can’t really comment on the workers but they are really understanding about me bringing my dog in (he has abandonment issues, I recently adopted him). Everything is clean and organized.

Keeping the four stars. Please note that the Bank Of America is no longer in the store. But the ATM is still here. The store has been rearranged a bit, but the quality of products, cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff remains the same!

This is a pretty good Albertsons that feels clean and fresh with a good produce section and relatively short lines. The freshly made tortilla chips are fantastic and the homemade salsa is decent. They have Redbox as well so it can really be one-​stop shopping for a night in.

They have redeemed themselves by getting rid of those stupid rewards cards. What a pain those are at the other places. Then tonight I decided to try the store-​made fresh salsa and that sealed my fate to want more!

One of the best Albertsons where I shop!
They have the best selection of produce, even more than Whole Foods. It’s hard to find purple potatoes elsewhere (even Sprouts has them, but only in a package of a variety of potatoes), and I like to cook with ingredients you usually don’t find at a typical store, like lemongrass or purple kale.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. Especially Marie! I’ve been helped by her a few times, I’m only a fraction her age, and she’s always friendly, positive, and seems to love her job. Wish I could be more like that. Armando is also really helpful. Staff also seem to like working with each other.
The aisles are wide, floor is always clean, everyone in their department seems to know what they’re talking about. I love coming here during the weekday since its way more relaxed.

I visited around 7pm 2÷3÷15. Cashier lady was extraordinary service early morning best service in grocery market

I go here alot to pick up items to satisfy my cravings because I live like down the street from this Albertsons. I really like this Albertsons because it’s very clean, carries a huge variety of items and their staff is helpful. Also I just wanna say their sushi is seriously realllyyyy good. I was pretty amazed by the quality of the sashimi from a supermarket !!!

I came here recently to get some veggies and noticed that the Bank of America branch inside the store is no longer here. It has been removed and only one ATM remains. Still like going to this store as it has great selections of vegetables and many other grocery items.

This location has a lot of focus on its produce. When one walks in the rightmost entrance, one is greeted to the right by a wide open produce section with refrigerators lining the walls with both refrigerated groceries and precut fruit. (During my previous visit, the precut apples seemed to be turning brown, though.) This wide open section, occupying about 20% of the store, also contains their bakery area and deli.
The staff at the sushi section are very social. They talk a lot with others and say «thank you» to me when I pick up a sushi for purchase (including during my most recent purchase). Usually during other general shopping situations, it is possible to avoid having to socialize with other staff.
The rear of the store has open refrigerators with sale items down the rear perpendicular aisle, as well as the dairy and juice section. The frozen foods section is kept clean.
They also do recycling in a back room with machines.
Other than sale items, the prices are pretty much the same as any other Albertsons in the area.

love the color scheme!!!
interior designer?
who the hell is it?

This is absolutely my go-​to grocery store. This Albertsons (like many others) is very clean and organized, but the workers at this particular location are very friendly– mainly the cashiers who are a bit older. If you come often they truly remember you and always ask how you are. Some of the younger high school students aren’t very friendly, but then again I avoid asking them things unless I really need to.
Best perk of this location is that you don’t feel like you’re in a FREEZER the minute you step in. Maybe it’s just me, but so many grocery stores are so incredibly cold I can hardly handle going!

I am disappointed with this supermarket. I only go here if I have to even though it might mean driving further to go grocery shopping. Plus the prices are so high.
When I first moved here almost 2 years ago. I had asked the produce man where a certain item was and he looked at me like I was an idiot and pointed in the general direction of where it was.
I don’t think some of the checkers are properly trained. Once I had a gift card and they didn’t know how to deduct the amount from the gift card. For some reason the card got demagnetized and the first checker said that it had to be deducted manually. I told this to the following checkers and they didn’t believe me so I had to wait until the manager (?) was able to do it properly.
Some of the checkers don’t even know how to add additional credits to the rechargeable cards.
These are some of the reasons why I rather use the self-​check out so that I don’t have to deal with the inefficient checkers.
I just called them today to ask if they had something in stock. I had to wait for three or four people to pick up the phone (while being put on hold) to finally have somebody give me the right answer.

**************************Supermarket Sushi***********************
Overall this is a great store, especially since the updated the location after Pavilions popped up a couple of years ago.
Anyhow this is just a nod for Supermarket Sushi, where the actually have an in house person making some basic rolls and sashimi 5 days a week.
The spicy tuna cut roll for $ 4.95 is surprisingly tasty and is better than some make that many that I have had at those all you can eat or similar sushi bars.
I love being able to satisfy my sushi craving during the day when I just want a snack. I posted a couple of pics.

If you have to shop at either this place or Pavilions, this place has far greater values.
The staff is super friendly and they have been there a long time.
Their BOGO meat specials rock, and they seem to have a great special on beer!
Plus like another reviewer said, the’ve got Red Box here, not one, but two!
