ChefsMart

Anything and EVERYTHING you need for cooking is HERE!!! I love this place!
I came in here looking for a chef’s hat and found a bunch of them on clearance! Then I walked around just to see what they had and found that many of their items are priced competitively against ANYWHERE you buy kitchen utensils/​stuff.
If you’re a cook/​chef and you find you’re in need of whatever utensil you just have to have in the kitchen — this is your go-​to place.

Originally came here to order chairs for my office. Noticed all the kitchen supplies.
Great prices and selection. Highly recommend if you like cooking

Great prices and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You will get lost in there though. Make a list of what you want otherwise you will get seriously sidetracked.
I don’t own a restaurant, but I like to cook and try new recipes. And I thought many things here were super useful.

Love this place! It’s a bakers paradise! Significantly cheaper bakeware than you’d find anywhere else! I bough enough piping bags to last me two years!

Great prices, the staff is very helpful. Inventory has a great selection. I ususaly only go there for bartending supplies, but they have so much more. Parking is plentiful, and location is easy to get to. Just off the 405 fwy.

A huge warehouse full of stuff for the chef in your life!
Yes, they cater to the restaurant industry with commercial size fryers, pots, pans, beverage containers and more… However there are useful items for the small time home chef also.
We came here looking for bakery boxes back in December. Perfect boxes for all the holiday goodies we baked to give to friends and family at great warehouse prices!
There are soo many things here to see. If you are a home chef, go check it out, you never know when you need a 36″ steamer…

Your basics
Basic restaurant needs, nothing fancy. The two items that I checked on pricing were within $ 1 of Amazon. The staff tried to be helpful, but I got the feeling that none of them cook and could answer questions from experience.

Good friendly service. I came here looking for an electric lemon juicer and a candy thermometer. I found them both with reasonabl prices, and some nick necks for the kitchen.
Everything was dandy until I got in the car, glancing at the receipt, I noticed it was kind of high for the things I bought. It turns out instead of charging me one plastic pastry scraper, they had charged me 100 of them. It took them a goody amount of time to straighten it out by starting with their warehouse price setting. Well, no one is perfect, I’ll let it slide this time.
The juicer worked pretty good, but not the candy thermometer, I think I need to get the digital one.

This place ROCKS! The only comprehensive commercial restaurant supply your in the South Bay. In the case they don’t have something they are usually able to order it. I furnished my cooking school with a lot of stuff from there. This is not a Sur La Table or Williams Sonoma kind of place this is hard core restaurant equipment. Think 60qt stand mixers and commercial refrigeration, as well as restaurant utensils.

I didn’t know what to expect when I came here. Turns out it’s a warehouse for commercial grade kitchen/​restaurant items. They have a wide variety of items from GIANT rice cookers to fluorescent open signs. They even had this pot stirrer that was bigger than me! I was just browsing, but their prices seemed pretty good. And, they can order basically anything you need.

So my fellow Unilocaler Marko tells me about this place. I just happen to be in the neightborhood so I stopped in. Quite a store. With me; I browse on the first visit and shop on the second. I am getting ready for my next visit and I am going to buy 1) chef’s clothes (including sou chef’s hats), and a much needed brand new set of knives… Plus– Ineed to get me a set of table service, for my next cook off.
Be careful though, you may end up with things you think you need but really don’t and then– you may not have a place to store them once you get it home. Ha! That’s ME!!! Saying this as I think I may buy this huge rice cooker pot.

I love this place… good prices, friendly staff…
great location.
Check it out!!!

I’ve recently gotten pretty serious about my cooking and have been wanting to find an alternative to Sur La Table or Dean & Deluca. I found it! ChefsMart is a huge warehouse with deep discount prices!
You can find everything from serving trays, BBQs, Lighting, menu displays, plates /​forks /​knives, aprons, chefs outfits, pots /​pans /​knives, etc. And, they have a diverse set of items from many cultures — Western BBQ, Asian, French, etc.
Prices are super cheap here — get this. I recently purchased a 10 knife professional carrying case from Sur La Table for ~$ 45. One of a better look and equal quality was selling for $ 11 at ChefsMart (they do have more expensive brands for $ 45+). Bravo!
Now that I’m the new 2011 Alewa Heights Top Chef in Honolulu (for you, Terry K.), I’ll be going here to get many of my supplies for future competition! Wahoo!

A home gourmet’s dream shop.
Get all your commercial grade kitchen ware here at a much lower price than other department or specialty stores. If you see a piece of equipment that you see on Top Chef or Food Network that costs an arm and a leg on the website or at Sur la Table, get it here for a lot cheaper and industrial strength. Seriously. Of course, there are a lot higher end items out in the world but you will pay a lot more for them and if you are not the executive chef of a 5 star kitchen, then you probably won’t be able to tell the difference anyway and it will last just as long.
I came here looking specifically for 2 items: baking sheets and a cone strainer for sauces.
The baking sheets came in all sizes (half, full, quarter) and were the industry standard aluminum colored heavy duty types. Cheap. They also sold the Silpat sheets for the half and quarter sheets which were as cheap as I ever saw them. We cooked with them already and there was absolutely no warping or hot spots whatsoever. Great great buy.
The strainer was one of those cones that you see chefs making sauces with in kitchens all the time. It fits easily in any of your stock pots and is much easier to strain out sauces than using your flimsy colander or strainer at home. It’s easy to clean and hangs on a rack for easy storage.
I felt like a kid in a candy store. There are a lot of items I would like to buy when I go back. If you like to throw parties, this is definitely the place for you. They have giant drink dispensers, buffets, stock pots that I can fit in (no small feat) and tables/​chairs for every occasion. The fact that anyone can buy is great. If you had a business license, I’m sure there are other spots that you can get better rates but the average home chef does not have that license so this to me is the best option. Check it out!

If you entertain at home and need supplies for a big party but you want long lasting stuff come here. If you want to pay more for more fancy stuff go to costco or sears

It is hard to find good foodservice equipment and supplies stores nowadays. ChefsMart is somewhat out of the way from my house, so I don’t go there so often. Regardless, I enjoy walking around their ailes buying little things like pots, pans, plates, and cooking/​baking utensils. They display a variety of restaurant goods and stuff that are a must in any suitable establishment. Also if you’re looking for commercial equipment but don’t feel like ordering stuff from a catalog, this place seems just fine.
They carry all the basic stuff you are likely looking for. but i don’t think they carry brand names such as All Clad or other hardcore silverware, dishware, and expensive knives.
Price wise, I am not sure whether they are the best prices in town. I suppose I’ll update this when I know for sure.
3.5 stars for now.
