Ralphs

I love coming to this Ralph’s location. They always have what I am looking for and the cashiers are remarkably friendly in my opinion. Sometimes the parking gets full but I always manage to find a spot.
The only issue I have is with the Starbucks inside. It’s rather hit or miss.

Horrible Fish & Meat department!!! Don’t go after 2pm. You will receive horrible service. I shop here at least 3 times a week and I am going to go somewhere else! Today I was number 3 in line at the fish department so I waited 20 minutes, to be serviced which I truly understand that some customers need a little extra time. I finally order my fish and because I wanted it fried I knew it would take approximately 15 minutes. I return 15 minutes later and the frying station was beeping. I look over to see my fish was cooked but sitting in a basket. For 15 more minutes I spot 3 more employees and ask them to please give me my fish. None of them can find the guy who works there and all 3 of them tell me they will get someone. The only thing they managed to do was turn off the beeping. 10 minutes later the original guy, Edgardo, I believe his name is, shows up and I tell him what is going on with my food. He says, «Oh, man. I completely forgot your food. My bad. I’m sorry.» I spent more than and hour there because this dimwit of an employee is rude, slow and completely oblivious. He doesn’t know how to give FAIR customer service. Yes, fair, not even good. I have spoken to that department’s Manager about his rudeness 3 times and twice to two sales managers which I must say, helped his attitude but there is nothing that can be done about his service. If it wasn’t because I walked there and I was getting fish for my kids, I would have left. If you want to have good customer service at this Ralphs, DO NOT STOP AT THE MEAT AND FISH DEPARTMENT AFTER 2pm. I tried to accept Edgardo’s sub-​par customer service by saying myself, «that could be my son.» Then I said, «maybe this kid has some mental challenges» because I wanted to give him a chance. I’m not trying to be funny or mean. I’m being honest. Today I have given up on him and if Ralphs won’t do anything, I will. I have been going to this Ralphs for the past 6 years because I live around the corner but today is my last.

I like this ralphs location. Everybody is very helpful. Good selection of organic fruit. Love that they have the bulk bins of nuts and beans. Large butcher. Oh I almost forgot to mention they have a Starbucks inside. Yummy. Now if only you brought back the no salt padrino chips and you would get 5 stars.

Jefferey L deserves an ELITE SHOUTOUT!

So as it turns out, I (we?) run on IST — Indian standard time. We are always last minute and of course, were rushing to an event at 8AM.
OK KARL, CRUCHTIME — WHERE DO YOU GET ROSES AT THIS HOUR?!
Apparently, at this Ralph’s!
We only had one bouquet to choose from. Not the best looking bouquet, and nobody was working at the flower booth.
Thank God Jefferey L was working the produce section!
Even though this was not his department, he spent extra time to make it fresh and photo-​ready, trimming the stems, removing the wilted rose petals, even spraying a gloss solution and re-​wrapping the bouquet.
Best quote of the day — it’s like lettuce — I just pick off the leaves that don’t look too good, to make it nice!
Strong work, Jefferey!
And strong work to Ralph’s for hiring this guy — he is an awesome employee!

Betty Torres has a bad attitude. I came here to grocery shop with my fiancé and she handled it all in a rude manner. I will not be coming back to shop at this Ralph’s. I cannot stand when people work somewhere and have no respect for customers!!!

The lady who work in deli department (she made sandwiches too) has a bad attitude. She miss heard my order and rude!

The people that work there are so rude! It’s funny to me that they post on walls «say hi to all customers» and when customers need/​ask for help they are rude, and not willing to help at all!
They are my neighboorhood grocery store, but I have experienced bad attitude from Ralph’s employees and even Starbucks numerous times! Manager Nicole block is useless! Get some fucking manners and do your job!

This place has gone down hill the last 10 years. The prices go higher and the workers get lazier! They have had some of the same employees for a long time which is the problem, no one else will hire these rejects. They are super slow and are too busy talking to each other in spanish to help anyone. Lazy mexicans need to learn better if they want to get ahead instead of making 8 dollars an hour the rest of their life.

It’s pretty awesome to have a Ralph’s right across the street from where you live. It is super convenient. This Ralph’s is a bit on the pricey side, but considering I don’t have to drive anywhere to pick up something for my late night cravings, I’m totally fine with paying a premium.
Buy grapes here!!! Their grapes are crunchy, sweet, and perfect! I can eat an entire 2 pounds a night. And before trying these grapes, I wasn’t a huge fan.

Please do not use this pharmacy. They don’t have any inventory. They tell you to come back the next day but they did not order anything therefor you have to wait again for the next 24h.
When they finally have your product they only have ²⁄₃ of it and they tell you the remaining third will arrive 4 days later. By getting upset you get it ordered for the same day.
They are supposed to charge you once but they charged me the deductible at the ²⁄₃ and once again at the ¹⁄₃.
They are fully dysfunctional with no inventory. Please go anywhere else they should be easily better.

The Ralph’s had almost everything I ever needed in the 1 year I was living in one of the apartments next door. The only thing that made me sad about moving away from The Preston Apartments was this Ralph’s. (Almost) all the employees here are super friendly, but Nelson is the absolute best! :) This is probably the best grocery store in the Miracle Mile area.
+ Large store
+ Good selection of food and even cleaning supplies and toiletries (although the makeup section is lacking)
+ Deli food is delicious
+ Produce is usually fresh
— Except when it’s not (sometimes you’ll find rotten fruits but the vegetables always seem fresh)
+ Bakery makes good shiet
+ Boar’s Head sandwiches

This is the best Ralph’s I’ve been to in Los Angeles.
Not only do they have an amazing sushi bar in house, but the deli is operated by Boar’s Head, which has really delicious deli meats, cheeses, sandwiches, and side items. They also have many meal items, because for lunch, the local businesses release hundreds of people into the area.
The salad bar is also great, with rotating items and dressings. My only complaint is that they only have one size for the salad take-​away, which constantly let’s me overload my lunch portion, so I’ve started asking the deli counter for a smaller container. The medium is a good size, which is like ¼−1/3 the size of the large salad containers.
Inside, they have a Wells Fargo near the pharmacy department, which is also convenient since I bank there, and there isn’t another Wells Fargo near here.
They’re always super friendly, and the self-​checkout gentlemen in the evenings is very friendly, and always reminds us to use our Ralph’s card.
Don’t forget to bring your reusable bags, they cost 10¢ each, and it’s bad for the environment, anyway.

Like going to this Ralph’s. Convenient parking underground and lots of meter parking around the block. Only thing is after work there are people everywhere! As soon as you step through the door, there are tons of people coming in and out. They keep the basket straight ahead but I find myself swerving through the people coming out to get to it. To the right they have the deli and a Starbucks. They have Pretty good sandwiches served here. Pick up one from time to time for lunch. Produce is OK. Sometimes the Fuji apples I like to get Iook a little brown and not so ripe. At checkout, the process is pretty quick. Lots of cashiers and fast checkout. They also have self checkout if you have just a few items.

The manager on duty Llagara Eapinosa. like that was very rude. I wanted to return products for which I had a receipt. They made me go get the box on one item, wait over 15 min while attend to other customers.
No politeness whatsoever. Very disappointed in this mgmt

I had been coming here for a few years and satisfied with the experience but now this location is over run with dogs, yes pets being allowed into the store. It’s illegal, unhygienic and Ralph’s makes no effort to end it; not even a sign at the door indicating the laws.
Goodbye Ralphs.

I went to this Ralph’s almost every week without fail while I was at USC for the two years of my school program to get my grocery shopping done. I had done a good amount of Unilocal research before making this my market of choice, based on its cleanliness, stocked items, safety and parking. There are closer Ralph’s locations to the school, but they’re not in the best areas and I definitely wouldn’t want to go to some of them at night!
This Ralph’s has been reliable during the two years I would frequent the store. I’ve never come across items on shelves with past expiration dates, and the shelves themselves were always well stocked. There were a few times where I couldn’t find the specific bread brand that I wanted, but there were lots of others to choose from when this did happen. I’ve found that this location has a greater variety of items than compared to some of the other Ralph’s stores I’ve been to.
My grocery list was never really complex – bread, cheese, spinach/​veggies, tortillas, milk, cereal, ice cream and ground turkey/​chicken breast – but I was pleased that I could find everything so easily in this Ralph’s. I’ve definitely been to some others where I was confused and had the hardest time locating things! But for some reason, in this Ralph’s, everything just seemed to be in logical order and I could always navigate my way just fine.
Parking can be a nightmare in L.A., but there’s a small lot downstairs from this store, so I never had to stress about street parking (or looking for parking). There are a good amount of stalls, too, so though parking can be tight, you’re sure to get a space (it may not always be the closest to the store entrance, but you’ll get a space). You just have to take the stairs/​elevator to reach the store entrance.
The only downside of this store is the parking lot can get sort of dark, and sometimes there are homeless people hanging out right by the elevator exit or the store entrance. But, if you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you … I’ve been to this store many times by myself (always in the broad daylight) and I’ve never had a problem. Plus, this store’s conveniently located to some of my other favorite places in Beverly Hills (aka Sprinkles Ice Cream), so I could always reward myself with a treat once all my grocery shopping was done, if I didn’t have too many perishables!

My local grocery store and I’m completely satisfied. Clean and organized. The staff is very helpful. On occasion you can get lucky
with food samples. Free Parking garage is always a perk in LA!

This is a perfectly acceptable large chain grocery store. They carry pretty much everything you can think of except some high-​end gourmet or organic items. Here are some of the many things I like about the store:
The employees are really nice overall and the checkout clerks very friendly, even chatty.
The bathrooms are clean and well marked in the back of the store. You don’t have to wander back hallways to find them.
The store is really large and the aisle pretty wide in comparison to some other grocers.
Huge underground parking lot. I guess it fills up but I’ve never been there when I couldn’t find a spot.
The produce section is large and they have a pretty nice selection of organic produce.
The hours are great! They’re open from 6 am to 1 am.
There is really only one thing I don’t like about the store and that’s the check out. They never seem to have enough people working the registers. If you come early in the morning the only option is self checkout, and every time I try to use them there’s something wrong. Once I came in a rush to grab some milk and literally couldn’t buy it because the machines were giving me problems and there were no registers open.
Other than the problem with the registers I’d say this is a good grocery store if you’re not looking for anything too unusual.

Standard Ralphs with an added bonus of having both ATMs and a fully functioning walk-​up teller service for Wells Fargo folks like myself. Always cordial and has the M&Ms I crave.
OK, I don’t generally crave M&Ms perse, I don’t know where this recent sweet tooth came from. Quite frankly it’s scaring me because I don’t like nor want my teeth to feel like they’ve been chewing sugar all day before I get back home to brush again. Also, I’m not down with the guilt pangs I go through for eating so much chocolate throughout the day at my office, in a sedentary position.
Wait, what was the point of all this again?
Right, Ralphs. This one is convenient but also kinda bomb for having my bank inside.
Dunzo. And happy holidays to y’all!

Ample underground parking, Wells Fargo branch, super fast check out, Coinstar AND the best fresh baked apple fritters
soft, perfectly glazed, applely, sticky really fill cortisol cravings.
I get around all over town all day long and I never stop moving business or chores forward so, it’s important to have a Ralphs location on my radar. Two mental lists, «perishable» and «non» allow me to head home directly at the end of the day without having to do any marketing.
Store and manufacturer coupons plus «greenpoints» for using recyclable totes and savvy sale shopping add up to big savings. I’m a fan :-)
