Ralph’s

Best Ralphs ever!!! The staff here totally have your back. I left cash back in the self checkout machine which they saved for me until I came back. There are decent human beings

I’m seriously getting over this place, since its last remodel it seems to be getting busier each week. I have always been an evening shopper and sometime that helps in finding parking, but then I have to worry about all the pan handlers in the parking lot.
My real problem with this location is the lack of product now. The produce section is always lacking and even the water section seems to be bare. I took photos from two separate weeks and same result. It’s really getting hard to shop here, I finally wrote their corporate office hopefully some changes will be made.

Great place to go to the market on Saturday or Sunday’s at 7 am no Parking u can go in an not struggle for parking hardly go here but there are a lot of workers restocking and will help u if u need help finding stuff

I really actually like the store BUT tell me why tonight we go to park and someone is on the side trying to take a piss outside… then e moves to leaning on the tree to pee. We thought he was some wasted guy but as we see him walk away into the light I say «tell me why it looks like he works at Ralphs?!» We go inside to get our tater tots and such and as we are in the frozen isles sure enough in walk the outdoor pisser with a freaking Ralphs name tag on. I almost lost my mind … We go to pay at the far register by the bank and sure enough here comes the pisser heading back in from outside coming to bag our groceries!?! UMMMM NO SOR PLEASE KEEP YOU DICK AND PISS GERM FILLED HANDS OFF MY FOOD! I know you didn’t wash your hands …
I seriously almost lost my mind!!!
To make it worse … His name tag was «Kenny P» sounds like «can he pee» and and unfortunately we know he can!
I am not one to complain or try to get people in trouble but this is just nasty and you are a grown ass man you know that ain’t right and if you wanted to keep your job you wouldn’t be outside in front of the store taking a piss while you are working !!!
So disgusted

This Ralph’s is pretty terrible. The only reason I ever come here is for something extremely quick, usually redbox, because it’s a few blocks from my apartment. Otherwise I avoid this place like the plague and go to Burbank. The service here is downright terrible. All of the employees, especially the checkers, are downright apathetic. The unfriendliest bunch I’ve ever met. One Of the checkers consistently asks «How are you doing?» and then when I give the normal «Good, how are you?» He just doesn’t respond, and then says nothing the rest of the transaction. He’s like this every time. Why ask the question if you don’t plan on answering the followup? Why not just say Hi if you don’t want to have to speak to anyone beyond your required greeting? This is par for the course at this location. Honestly, most of the other checkers don’t say anything at all. Kind Of disappointing considering Ralph’s usually has better service.

Walter the Nighttime «Manager» has No Backbone, Non Professional, and Apparently Takes Threats made to His Customers inside the Store Lightly. My Girlfriend was inside this Ralphs location shopping and was threatened with a Weapon (Handgun) by an Apparent dilusional Man who stated «You wanna get Shot?»… She called 911, and Notified the «Manager» Walter who shrugged it Off and continued assisting other customers. He didn’t Care, plain & simple. 10 Units from the LAPD NoHo Division Show up to Shut Down the Store and Conduct a Search of the location for the Suspect based on the Threat. This situation and the lack of Security and Concern for customers is Ridiculous! This is Going all the way up the Chain to Corporate. I Usually Shop at Ralphs, and have had Positive experiences at other Locations. THIS Location is Off the Charts with Safety & Security or Concern. In light of events that are Occurring in today’s World, I would think that having a Customer come to a «Manager» a RALPHS REPRESENTATIVE and basically tell you They were Threatened INSIDE YOUR Store with a Weapon and where other Customers are shopping is a Credible threat Walter. Do Your Job Walter, Learn how to be a Leader if your going to be a «Manager»…or in this case, Maybe You won’t be a «Manager» much Longer. You put my Girlfriend, Your Employees, and other Customers in Danger with your Lack of Urgency to deal with a situation that could have turned deadly.

VERY UPSET. I am very intolerant to gluten. Went grocery shopping at Ralph’s and they had a yogurt labeled as gluten free. Went home, ate it, and now I’m miserable and in pain. Went back and read the container; the first ingredient was WHEAT FLOWER. THIS IS SERIOUS. A person with celiac’s disease could be in serious trouble if it were up to whoever is labeling things at Ralph’s. And now I’ve wasted ten dollars on Greek yogurt that I can’t eat.
Besides that, the security and employees are rude– if you don’t like your job, get a new one and quit ruining other innocent people’s days with your neglect of product placement and labeling and your lousy attitudes. See picture.

They allow homeless people to harrass you as you walk in and out. ²⁴⁄₇
They told me they couldnt do anything about it. YES YOU CAN!
No other Ralphs allows their customers to be harrassed. It’s like the walking dead over there.
Also: The aisle numbers are unable to be seen from the other side of the store. It’s chaos in there! Good Luck. Worst supermarket in America

I like this Ralphs. Its clean, the employees are helpful when you ask them, and I find almost everything I’m looking for (health food store stuff not included).
I once saw an employee helping an elderly person with his shopping to his car! The people going here are more of the younger crowd at night. Much appreciate the good looking people walking around if I don’t say so myself…
Price:
Not the cheapest…

Imagine that Betty White had «Youth-​Regenerating-​Plastic-​Surgery», and then blended her genes with Scarlett Johansson. That is what has happened in recent months to THIS Ralph’s location.
The ancient and feted aisles of the old Ralph’s, that Lucile Ball, Pauli Shore, and thousands people from the 80s used to wander, have now been updated — to stalls of hand-​crafted cheese vendors, conscientious fruit-​tenders, over-​educated mushroom specialists, and invasive customer-​satisfaction-​initiators — in every aisle. This place has become «Whole Foods Lite».
Unfortunately the semi-​total transformation did not go all of the way. The fish-​mongers still don’t know their ass from their elbow… and the meat butcher is not up to par with the Ralph’s just 15 blocks south. Plus, most greens (fresh herbs and vegetables) are cheaper and better at Jon’s. And Fresh Whole Fish is a million times cheaper and better at Seafood City.
BUT — I don’t live near Jon’s or Seafood City — so this Ralph’s is where I SHOP.
That said — I am very happy with the new Scarlett Johansson gene.
Sorry Betty.

Brian G is the best !! He is always friendly and helpful he needs to be Manager ! has great service and treats people with respect. He also makes someone’s day better.

RALPHS cleaned up and replanted the side garden that had been a garbage zone and has gone through a HUGE REFURBISHING with more brands and more up-​stock. Several weeks into this, I’m having a difficult time adjusting and finding what it is I want.
There also seems to be more security guard presence than ever.
The question is, what about the prices? And is the average person really looking to Ralph’s for gourmet cheese, expensive organic ready made? And what about the drought and the price of meat? Can it really be everything to everyone?
After an initial feeling that the prices had all gone up by fifty cents or so to pay for that major refurbishing, I noticed that the ADS for RALPHS have shown more competition (probably against Albertsons, and also to all organic/​health food stores) with 10 FOR’s (Buy ten of a selected number of products and each will be discounted by fifty cents or so) and a shiny-​sheet magazine featuring a lot of information about the healthier foods and coupons in it.
Using the 10 FOR’s I bought my entire supply of canned soup for the winter as well as my entire supply of stewed tomato products for the next several months, with chunky type soups at a dollar a can and the stewed tomato products at 49 Cents a can — which matches or beats the 99 Cent’s only and Dollar Tree stores.
As well, MORE ITEMS ARE MARKED «Local» (a la the now defunct Haggen’s markets in Southern California) so I can indulge in my HOMEBOY salsa, and there is a bigger and better array of cheeses, though these are not inexpensive.
Location being a larger factor in where most people shop for food, I think there is enough population density and enough people commuting past this Ralph’s to keep it going.
HOWEVER my UPSET with cashiers — which has been communicated repeatedly — who are now letting customers bag their own groceries — supposedly against their job descriptions, according to managers, continues. Considering that I refuse to use the SELF SERVE check outs because I WANT THEM TO HAVE JOBS, this really irks me.

I just now left this location and the employees are very rude and the person in charge was a heavy set Hispanic lady with glasses who refuse to help me find the items I am looking for and had a temper with me and treated me like if I was stupid because I did not know the layout of this location…

Ahh Ralph’s you have so disappointed me. I used to love shopping at Ralph’s but last night I had an experience that changed my mind, quite possibly for all of the stores which remains to be seen but at least for the location on Magnolia in North Hollywood.
I rushed into Ralph’s at 8:49 to get deli meats for a late dinner and when I went to the deli counter the 2 employees were chatting so I waited for 5 minutes before I interrupted them to order my deli. When the one employee walked over she said we are closed to which I responded it isn’t 9 yet and I was here for over 5 minutes. She walked away in a huff and sent the other girl over who swiftly shut the lights in the deli case and immediately had an attitude saying you are the last we are closed.
So I ordered my deli and while I was there another women walked up to ask a question and again the rude counter girl said «I’m closed» the women just wanted to know if she would find the macaroni that is in the deli case during the day in one of the outer cases after they closed to which the rude women stated ‘NO WE THROW IT ALL OUT” and she turned her back on the customer. I then asked about the chicken they usually have behind the deli only to be told there was none but when I walked back by when leaving in a grocery card was a huge basket of chicken getting ready to be thrown out.
Now this is where I am disappointed with Ralph’s. You mean to tell me you throw out all the food in the case instead of offering it to shelters for the homeless. I know for a fact many of the shelters would gladly have some one pick up the food you as a big corporation deem unusable.
But the other fact if a customer wanted to buy it she should have been able to since it was still 2 minutes to 9 but since you are throwing it out maybe you could have made the money you need to keep your prices from going up like they have since you remodeled the store.
I have been in business all my life and if one of my employees even turned down a sale I would not be happy at all, first of all that is not good customer service, second I realize every sale for my company means higher profit, which leads to better pay for my employees and lower prices and if the product truly couldn’t be sold for some reason by donating the food the goodwill toward the community of homeless brings in new customers who no longer see your company as a big greedy conglomerate.

This is one of my favorite Ralph’s in the Valley.
Little known secret: I get my birthday cake here every year. Their bakers really knock it out of the park and have creative cake offerings like hamburgers, Dia de Los Muertos and watermelon themed at literally a fraction of the cost of some of the fancier cake shops.
They also have a juice bar, a decent selection of sushi and a ton of produce. The parking lot can be a little tricky and feel a tad sketch sometimes, but it’s pretty much the only drawback. The nicest Ralph’s in the Valley (IMO) is in Universal City, so if you need the Gelson’s experience at Ralph’s prices go there. This location, however, will still give you a lot of good options at pretty good prices.

I am a fan of anything that stays open late for the people who work until midnight. This is the only Ralph’s that closes at 1 am anywhere near my home which is convenient for me because with school and work I don’t always have time to do shopping during the day. Solid 4 stars for saving me from going to school and work the next day without food.

I try to avoid this Ralph’s like the black plague because it is definitely one of the worst ones I’ve been to… mostly because of the location + the plaza it’s located in.
This Ralph’s is in North Hollywood… so the area isn’t THAT great. Granted, it’s on Magnolia and Vineland, really close to the up and coming NoHo Arts District area, but it’s still not nice. Literally every time I’ve come here I’ve seen cops trying to take care of hooligans in the parking lot. There are sketchy people loitering throughout the plaza, and it makes me scared my car is going to get broken into.
They recently renovated it so it looks better on the inside. It definitely seems like an older location. However, I still find myself going to the Ralph’s on Vineland and Ventura because that one is a lot nicer, has better parking (underground garage!) and makes me feel a lot safer. Avoid this Ralph’s if you can!

All I can say is WOW! I went to this store today and didn’t even know it was there grand opening since they just finished remodeling and it is a beautiful store now! They changed the set up a little too and it looks great very, very nice! I will be shopping at this store a lot more now lol

I use to love this location since it’s so convenient for me but now the crazy people have moved in. On days where I just want to get what’s on my list I have to worry about people harassing me for money/​food /​to buy something from them. RALPHS has done nothing to stop them. Come on! My hubby no longer wants me to go by myself because of these people they will bug the crap out of you.
Other than that, I love the store and their staff. Great people willing to help. Everything is always stocked and they always have managers sale items. The only bad thing about their store is the «fresh» donuts. But then again who actually buys those. Oh wait, me. Hahaha

Tonight the store reeked of pot so bad it made my throat start to close and even my guy started sneezing. It was gross. Some rude woman that appeared high grabbed a discount item out of my hand as I picked it up from the valentines candy area.
The security guard looked bored when I am sure he could have been doing something like keeping an eye on the snack isle.
And then the rude cashier was busy digging in her purse for something and wouldn’t even make eye contact with me. Finally she handed me my receipt and I said I had 2 quick questions on store policy and she got frustrated and abruptly answered in a condescending and impatient tone.
Worst experience shopping at Ralph’s. I usually shop for all of my groceries at this store, but I’m looking for a new local store after tonight.
