Sunland Produce

Let me start by saying that this place is a life saver. If you live anywhere in the area you know that any other grocery store with these kinds of prices is at least a 15 min drive. They have pretty competitive prices and middle of the pack produce. My only complaint would be that the meat section closes earlier than the rest of the store so you get there to buy meat and find them hosing the place down.

Really love this place. I shop here atleast once a week and venture out on my lunch since i work a few blocks away! The prices are more reasonable than any other market i shop at and they have a wide variety of produce. The meats are also very good and i really like the staff! I will definately continue to shop here

First time here. I came here because it was really close. Everything was over priced. Bought couple of things. Went to the cashier. The cashier was blowing her nose. She looked like she was sick. After she rang me up. The bagger just walked off. I had to bag my own stuff. This place is a rip off! All these old people don’t see it?! I’m sticking to Ralph’s!

Great place to get fruit n veggies for a really really good price. Down part is that sometimes parking is pretty bad.

These cashiers are just plain RUDE! They know not one single thing about customer service. Stopped in for some quick things but damn!!! Didn’t expect to be treated like that just because I’m bringing in business. I mean, it’s not like it takes customers like me to give you my business for you guys to earn a pay check or anything. I don’t expect a red carpet but I don’t expect rude service. First and last

love this place, they have a wide variety of international foods and a good sized produce section with very reasonable prices (much lower than chain stores)… always a quick in and out too

I love Sunland Produce for their produce! There really is no-​one else out there with such great deals! I make a run out here from Burbank every month or so to fill the fridge and meal prep on the cheap.
It’s a full grocery store but if you’re doing for staples and general house products they are more expensive them my local market (Ralph’s). They have a nice deli with many meat and cheese options. I do like that. I’m not a big fan of the meat department. There’s always a smell that is off a little and flies. So most if the time I get my meat elsewhere.
They also have a decent fresh bread section.
This place caters more to Mediterranean, Armenian, and Latin cuisine. So if you’re looking for that hard to find item, There a good chance it’s here.
I met an Armenian gentleman a year ago there who turned me on to sumac seasoning. No other store I shop at had ever heard of it but Sunland Produce carries it in bottle and bag form. Yum! I can’t go without it now.
Bring your own bags because they do charge a small fee for theirs. Parking lot is large and wraps around the store.

Update. They have organic rice now!
I’ve lived in Sunland for over 10 years and passed by this place millions of times. One day I just decided to go in and see.
Wow I would never shop at Vons or Ralphs ever again.
Anyways, this place is amazing!
First, the price beats all other places I know.
Second, cheap does not mean low quality.
Every fruit and vegetable there is freshly picked. The fruits actually taste like fruits. Because they are not picked before ripen for longer self life like all big chain grocery stores.
Third, they have way more variety stuff.
Not only the normally things you need every day but also some hard to find imported stuff.
Btw, they have the exact same brand of organic soy sauce that Whole Foods carries, but $ 2 or $ 3 cheaper!
Wish they carry organic meat, fruits and vegetables though.

I usually come here to pick up grape seed oil and lavash bread. Most of their grape seed oil is imported from Italy and reasonably priced. Their fruits and vegetables are low-​priced but they don’t have that sparkling freshness which other supermarkets proudly display. It’s common to see customers digging and digging through their fruits and vegetables trying to find something that looks decent. And when it comes to checking out its a roll of the dice whether you’ll wait one minute or over fifteen minutes.

Good produce and cheese selection

This place totally impresses me with their selection of fresh, local, super-​affordable produce. The prices on most other groceries are mediocre, but even if you only come for the produce it’s still worth it.
That said, they just lost 3 stars in my book. Eek.
The place is now crawling with security guards who stare you down while you shop. The guy at the front asked me to leave my purse for security reasons aka I look like I’m gonna steal something. Although his attitude was more «No se, es company policy.»
So I go back to retrieve my bag after shopping and my purse with cash, phone, everything is sitting at the front within easy arm’s reach of the door UNGUARDED. If you’re going to make me relinquish my personal belongings, at least be trustworthy enough to guard them! Ridiculous. Get your sh*t together people.

I had 30 minutes to kill, and I love produce. So, on a whim, I stopped in here and checked it out. It’s a blah concrete tilt up building; inside is a Middle Eastern market but with a lot of international products. Some have commented, it’s not the cleanest store, but it was okay for me.
When you walk in there is a Security guard, a good idea in this neighborhood. There was homeless guy hanging around the front parking lot but didn’t seem to bother anyone. When I entered, what caught my eye was their weekly ad. The prices are really great. Bartlett Pears were 39 cents today. There are lots of other specials. pomegranates are 49 cents a pound, apples, gala or fuji apples are 39 cents a pound. Both look good and at supers are 4 or 5 times more expensive. On Wednesday 10/​29, T Bone steaks are $ 3.99 a pound… that is ridiculously cheap (don’t know the grade of meat). I’d hate to be here when and if they run out… a butcher may think about running out himself.
I saw people of all races/​colors, and the parking lot had beat up old cars and a few new Lexus and Mercedes. And walking to the produce department, you’ll see American, Asian, and middle eastern goods, Mexican products, Lavash, French jam, etc
But at least ¹⁄₃ of this store is produce, with some very hard to find stuff. First, I did buy a pound of pears for 39 cents. They were slightly bruised/​imperfect in appearance, but that’s OK at that price, likely Grade 2 that many discount produce markets purchase, whereas Vons and Ralphs, etc. purchase Grade 1. But the Fuyu Persimmons were perfect and 79 cents a pound, with the less common Hachiya persimmon (inedible until overripe!) is 99 cents a pound. They had the rare Dragonfruit, which you can find at Farmer’s Markets and Whole Foods for about $ 6 a pound, but half that price here. Honeydews were 3 pounds for a dollar — 70 cents a pound in most places. I also got a pound of cactus fruit (aka prickly pear or tunas in Spanish) and some Manila mangoes, at 99 cents (not even available in many places this time of year).
Then, I found some fresh sugar cane, the sweet chewing snack, that you chew and extract juice in your mouth, but spit out the fibers. They also had Quince (kwins, not said like the Spanish number for 15) used to make tart jams.
Check out was fast, I was through there in 5 minutes, but there were lots of people behind me. Wish they had a location like that down here in OC… Big enough but small enough.

I love this place, you can get a lot of fresh vegetables with much better prices. I didn’t give them 5 star, because today I went to get turkey pastrami which was on sale for $ 2.49 and they didn’t have it because of some delivery problems, well that’s not the costumers fault, I went there just for that, and I asked if I can get a rain check, and unfortunately they do not give out rain checks.
To the Sunland Producer management please get together and come up with rain checks, if you are having delivery issues and you have advertised on your weekly add that Turkey Pastrami is on sale then you have to satisfy the customer needs, by giving out rain checks. Once you come up with a rain check solution my four star will turn to five star until then it will stay four stars!!!

Fantastic produce department and a lot of ethnic (middle eastern and mexican) food. Also a decent meat department and lots of «interesting» canned & frozen goodies.
I have been coming here for about 20 years and have nothing but good things to say about it. The fact that I now live 1 ½ hours away, and still make it a point to go by here, speaks volumes.

If you’re looking for a health food store or organics this might not be the place, but if you’ve been shopping at Ralphs or Vons or similar, this place is going to amaze you.
I’ll list some things that I think are pretty terrific and you can read the labels because I do suspect that no matter where you buy produce you probably should be washing it before you eat it and that label readers will find some products here that would fit the healthy eating category.
Some things you’ll find here, besides people from all over LA and the World:
A HUGE selection of teas including herbal teas from Germany, China, England, Persia, and Poland, and even Yerba Mate from Argentina. The Polish Malina brand includes bilberry and chokeberry and is excellent. (I use my auto coffee maker to make tea with these so you see I’m not a purist.)
Spring water of the type that has mineral content — a few brands. Natural Spring water from volcanic Iceland.
Coffee — skip the known brands and try the real Turkish if you can take it!
Hummus. It seems every time I go some freshly made brand is on sale at about a dollar a container less than Ralphs.
A MASSIVE selection of Olives and Olive Oils and also Vinegars. Usually a brand will be on sale for about $ 10 a gallon. For soap lovers a variety of OLIVE OIL BASED SOAPS including ones that are rough looking and ones that are white and scented floral or rose. (You know these are good for your skin!)
Nuts and Seeds of every type, some natural, some flavored or spiced. Lots of dried fruits, trail mix and party mix type offerings.
Huge containers (think Smart and Final size) of tahini.
Orange Blossom and Rose Waters.
PRODUCE THAT IS NOT READY TO GO BELLY UP LIKE SOME OF THE DOLLAR STORES SELL. I have veggies I bought a couple weeks ago in the fridge that are doing fine so it’s OK to stock up, maybe shop every couple weeks, like in the Old Days.
A great array of cheeses. The prices on these are competitive to slightly less than other stores, many imported, ditto sausages and meats.
A wonderful place to buy for parties!
My suspicion is that the caterers are buying here and that some of what you buy at smaller corner markets may actually come from this place. The prices are low enough that buying retail and reselling something you could still be making a profit.

Good and cheap fruits, veggies, middle eastern products, meat, lamb, chicken, pork, olives cheeses and deli meats. The prices are so cheap, esp.
produce (fruits, vegetables) But their meats are the same prices like other supermarket. The only thing that they need to change is their deli dept. the helper are slow and only 2 person most of the time that’s why the wait takes so long.

Hands down, the best prices in the area for fresh produce, international foods, spices, and cheeses. They have an amazing selection of teas from all over the world… I am in love with e Polish strawberry tea! It tastes and smells just like the real fruit. (Way more tasty than my usual zinger brand tea that will remain nameless, lol)
The prices, you’ll be floored. We eat a TON of veggie and fruits, and a whole cartload (literally) cost us less than $ 40. They have the hugest apples, .89 a pound… I could go on and on, but you gotta make the trip in to check it out!
Just be sure to really check all your fresh stuff, sometimes the apples can be bruised and the leafy greens do leave a little to be desired… they turn over a lot of stuff here, but some things seems fresher than others. (It rotates, so just keep your eyes open and it’ll be cool.)
Lots of parking here. Crowded sometimes, can be a frenzy of folks all over the fruits and veggies, but they are pretty cool. Not the snobby haters you’ll find in Wholefoods, for sure. That alone is a plus!

In the middle of the boonies of Sun Valley lays a market that has been around since 1990. Sunland Produce has been a great place to purchase produce and meats as they are a wholesale company. During the preparation of any BBQ event, I always make sure that their chicken and pork kabobs are apart of my menu as they are very affordable by the pound and very delicious.
My only issue with this establishment is they close a bit early which makes it a bit difficult to get to on the weekdays straight after work. =T

BEST place for affordable produce.
They have lots of other stuff too. Great selection of nuts and snack mixes.
Not the place to go if you are looking for certified organic stuff though. This is opposite from Whole Foods in many ways. Stuff is labeled though if you are a more conscious buyer and want stuff from the U.S. In my experience, a lot of their produce comes from Mexico.

What can I say but this is my fav store for fresh veggies and fruits. U can fill your cart for just $ 40 or less. Love the fruits of all types, shapes at a cheap price. What do I get excited about? Nuts!!! Fresh almonds to roasted, pecans… omg, theirs are fresher and tastier. Frozen corns are one of my tip for anyone. For less than $ 3 u can have yourself a big bag of corn, all peppers, okras, cabbages, «saluyot”(okra leaf), oxtails, eggplants international. ask me why. I didn’t know there are different kinds of eggplants. For cheese lovers, gouda cheese to fresh parmesan, find this store very useful. I would think this is a mideastern store but who cares, they got everything!!!
The owner is so humble. He knows how to speak tagalog, I would say fluently. :)
