Ralphs

This Ralph’s is usually a good and clean location. Having said that I never write bad reviews or any at all. I just had a horrible experience. I managed to get in line about 10 minutes before 2. The line was about 2 people in front of me but plenty of time. I didn’t know the machines automatically shut off but either way I was in line with good time. Then two guys behind me clearly drunk kept shouting «hurry up» to everyone in front of them. They had a beer 12 pack and tequila. They were anxious to make it and started being obnoxious. They went in front of me and asked the guy right in front to buy their beer and they would pay them cash. Literally without saying excuse me, without saying anything at all want in front of me. They told the couple who had just finished to «bag their own shit». The associate was an older man and so frazzled he didn’t even realize what was happening, he just kept repeating «it’s the law» like a broken record. So by the time the guys behind me passed their items the machine shut off and I couldn’t buy my wine and liquor which wasn’t much. I wasn’t able to get there earlier because of work. I also never got an apology from those guys and the sale associate asked them if they were drunk and never checked their IDs. I respect the law but I don’t respect drunk assholes who aren’t controlled by either security or the person in charge. They should not have been sold the alcohol for they were drunk and shouting obscenities so there goes the law! If the sales associate can’t decipher the situation he’s not doing his job. After all that he finally understood why I was extremely upset. He thought those guys had «asked» me, so he clearly wasn’t paying attention. This isn’t good service nor is it good security. I’m a female and those guys should not have been allowed to be so pushy and drunk in public and THEN be sold alcohol when they were BEHIND me on top of that. Sales associates should make sure not to allow that practice. Very disappointed in this establishment.

Always great deals there. Clean and neat.
It’s a really big Ralph’s. Kind of «target like» with the elevators and such. So there’s lots of parking.

This store has some serious sanitation issues. !! I have gotten sick from their deli food twice, and from the sushi twice. I will never ever buy sushi from this place again! I thought it might have been a bad piece of fish, but I bought the steamed dumplings last night and got horribly sick once again.
I also got sick from deli meat (boars head roast beef and turkey) and packaged chicken. I think that whole section is just unsanitary, it has happened too often. By law they are supposed to clean the machines every four hours and believe me they do not even wipe them down between helping customers. I have seen employees with runny noses coughing etc. and they are handling the meat and deli food. It is disgusting!
You are taking a chance with your health by getting anything from that section. once or twice could be a coincidence, or just bad luck, but it is no coincidence when you get sick four times in a year .I am otherwise a very healthy person with no medical issues. I have been shopping at this Ralph’s since they opened, so I know things have changed. all of this has happened in the last year. The store also has rats I have seen them in the parking lot and around the back. Buyers beware you have been warned. I know I cannot be the only one.

Love the fresh juice bar, it’s my favorite place for juices and smoothies! I only wish it moved a little faster. The cheese section is really nice too.

Horrible — 10 people in line and one cashier…
This is the worst place to shop at night!

This srore is great! Always greatfull attitude from personal! A lot fresh great stuff!

It’s great that this place is 24 hours and we shop here late often. However, we regularly cannot find what we are looking for here. Often the produce is not well stocked and they try to make up for not having parsley by filling its spot with cilantro, and things like that. They regularly our out of things that seems like any grocery store should have, not to mention this huge Ralph’s. And if they’re not out, perhaps they just don’t restock the shelves often enough? Regardless, we almost always leave with something not checked off of our list. We also are almost always are left without a bagger and have to bag our own things which is a minor inconvenience but can cause line holdup issues when I need to be paying but there’s still a ton left to bag. This is still our main spot because it’s closest to us, but they have a lot to improve on.

Love this supermarket… delicious smoothies are made at their juice bar thats organic and fresh. I love that they have a variety of choices such as dates and vegan agave honey subsitute. Really delicious and wholesome, I cant find smoothies as good as theirs even at famous smoothie places like Jamba.
I buy my flowers from Ralphs because its affordable and they are beautiful as well. I always get orchirds and bamboos

Love this ralphs I loved working her and I love coming here. All the employees are always so kind to everyone. You would really have to be a nasty mean person for them to be rude to you but the customer service is always great! Love the managers love my deli people and they are all truly hard workers

Went here today and the High School Boy working in the Seafood Department had this gigantic hickey on his neck! It grossed me out to look at him and I couldn’t help but wonder if he had just had a quickie in the parking lot and whether he had even washed his hands, or was that smell of fish in the air really fish or was it leftovers from his afternoon delight? Yuck! I think I’ll pass on seafood for today!

Don’t Buy the Gift Cards here! Dad was given a $ 100 Visa gift card from his work place and there was $ 0 on the card. I went online and someone had used the card information to pay for their Time Warner bill. DON’T BUY GIFT CARDS!!!

I’m taking a couple of stars off at this Ralphs because of the self check out. I go to this grocery store just about every day and whenever I go to the self check out there is ALWAYS a problem.
I’ll start scanning something and out of nowhere the machine will say, «An attendant is going to assist you» and I look around for an attendant and they are NEVER there. I can’t continue to check out until the «attendant is going to assist you message is cleared.» Sometimes I’ll wait about 5 minutes before someone walks over and helps other times I have to literally leave my checkout lane and go search for someone.
Either fix your self check out machines so they don’t give you error messages when you haven’t done anything wrong or make sure there is always an attendant there to assist. Ralphs is starting to work my nerves.

I LOVE my Ralph’s! It’s one of the bigger locations, so I dig that I can stroll in here night or day and it never feels crowded. They even have a juice and a nuts bar now– which is great. It’s super clean, the crowds are great and I never leave without one of their super affordable Sushi to go. Most affordable place we found for our basic cat food, coffee, water and soy milk needs. They have great deals on drum sticks, plus we’re constantly saving a lot on their coupons mailed to us.
I’ve lived in this neighborhood for almost 7 years now and it doesn’t come as a surprise that most people that work there, have been there the whole time. They’re sweet as pie too. Also love it that they have handicapped employees that are such a joy to watch! It really feels like a warm place overall and gives me a nice neighborhood feel.
Shopping and knowing the management is open-​minded and clearly great? PERFECT.

Because you live in Los Angeles I will say what you want to hear, do not go to this location at 11:30 AM to 1 PM or 5 PM to 7 PM, you will want to drive down to the Santa Monica pier and drive off the end because the parking is so horrible. Yes yes yes they do have all the tasty trader Joes food.
I do love Trader Joe’s grocery store better than any other grocery store, they have all the organic food and everything is super quality and super fresh. The only thing I buy from Ralph’s is organic ginger, but Trader Joe’s has great organic coconut oil, apples, frozen food, and tasty coffee to sample every single time. When I saw to Trader Joe’s in my vicinity I knew I found a home in my new main neighborhood.

This is a pretty nice Ralphs. It’s accessible from Toluca Lake, Universal City and North Hollywood. There’s a parking lot, and a ton of nice things like a juice bar, a cheese counter, a bakery and a sizable produce section. I don’t see myself coming here out of my way to shop at Ralphs, but I had to find a certain type of cheese for a friend and sourced it here! Thanks Ralphs!

Prices: 1÷5… in the name of LA, inflate!
Generalized Inventory & Selection: 4.5÷5
Beer Selection: 3.5÷5
Self-​checkout: Yes
Parking: Lot and Garage w. Elevator
Deli: Boars Head, bonus.
I am embittered towards their prices.

I don’t know what I hate the most?!? The fact that everything is so organized or the staff is so friendly? I hate the fact that all their meats and seafood are always so fresh! BEWARE of an employee named, «Antonio» in the meat/​seafood section!!! He goes above and beyond helping out customers! I walk in wanting to buy a skirt steak and walk out with a rib eye… Overall, avoid this place if you want to prevent friendly and organized service with a smile.
TIP: Avoid parking on top level… Park underneath… You’ll save a ton of time driving around

This is my neighborhood Ralphs. I split my time between here, and Trader Joes. It’s kind of like my food version of a broken home

I really like this Ralphs! There is actually another location literally right around the corner from my apartment in North Hollywood, but I choose to go to this Ralphs in Studio City because it is much nicer. That NoHo one has homeless and sketchy people roaming the parking lot, and is also really busy, so I choose not to go there.
This Ralphs is great because it’s at a good, easy to get to location: Vineland and Ventura. I used to get frustrated with the parking on the main level, but then I found out they have an underground parking garage. I really enjoy the underground parking garage because I found it extremely helpful when it was raining the other night. I didn’t have to go outside and get my groceries wet from the rain! :)
This Ralphs is also a pretty big location too, although I personally get a little lost when looking for things. They are never out of stock on the things I buy, and the sales associates are always very friendly.
They close at either 12am, or are open ²⁴⁄₇ (I can’t remember which exactly, but I remember enjoying their late hours for late night grocery shopping).
Overall, my go-​to grocery store! Highly recommend.

My roommate and I call this the «good Ralph’s» because the other one near us is gross (on Vineland and Magnolia). So I was even more of a fan once this Ralph’s opened a fresh juice and smoothie bar in the produce section.
Get one of the pre-​designed juices or smoothies OR design your own.
The Power Play sample was good.
I got a 24oz juice. I chose a cucumber base. I added watermelon, mint, lemon and lime. Total was less than $ 8 but it is one of the freshest and most delicious juices I’ve had. Better than nearby Jamba Juice for sure.
