“I drive out here every Tuesday because this location is the best. The customer service is why I come. They are like family-today however, was a different experience. They have this manager in this location named Vanessa. She is completely rude. She opened up a line we put our things down to be scanned then she says it’s cash only which is not identified on the sign been here so many times I know better she is only gonna be here for two weeks. Thank God if she’s the one you send around to make sure locations are doing well she is the worst person I’ve ever met in the store, I will be going back one bad experience is not bad but she is extremely horrible customer service rude to everybody. I will wait until her two weeks are up before I come back here to my family at the store.”

“Wish this was closer to me. This is your main Chinese grocery in SFV. Wide variety of Asian produce (jackfruit, rambutan, lychee), meat and fish, snacks, tea, the list goes on. Lucky it’s here, and I’ll definitely continue coming out from time to time.”

“Go way out of my way for this place particularly for their seasoned ground chicken, ground beef and chicken breast. It is out of this world amazing and you can bbq it, air fry it or oven etc etc.”

“I'm so glad we stopped by. Nice friendly staff, great selection, and fair prices. We found a great Christmas tree right away. Having it flocked will pick up tomorrow. They do offer delivery for a fee. They have sheep, turkeys, chickens and quales, that I have seen. Can't wait to come back for their pumpkin patch and maze! I've read and heard great things! Small parking lot, but plenty when we arrived, 30 min before closing. Would recommend.”

“Probably the most convenient and cheapest place to purchase groceries and other home based items and necessities...this supermarket is smart using the British adopted idea of putting a quarter in the shopping cart so the customer has to return the cart to the store if they want their quarter back...they have everything the other supermarkets have and at a lesser cost for most items and the staff are always friendly and helpful so I am giving a solid five star rating for sure...”

“My first time here, to get Thai tea, and boba.I love this place. My new favorite store the prices are so much better and so far everything I need I find it here. I'm so happy that I found this store.”

“Very happy I finally came in here to get some kosher meat and some frozen chicken nuggets that are kosher for my kids. Very clean, doesn't have that stinky smell that butcher shops usually have. Very friendly staff and organized. I was very happy with the generous amount of chicken they give for their schnitzel. I saw the meat was also fresh! I will try their other meat next time I go in. Will definitely be back and recommend to other friends! They also let me know they have Shabbat dinners prepared for friday evening which I loved. I also love how they have a whole oven roasted chicken to take home that's kosher. Love this little gem that's close to my home!”

“I am a loyal customer for more than 25 years. Your store has very good selection of variety of products . Friendly staff, clean and organized. Thank you for all the hard work!”

“Discover an excellent array of Russian delights, from sunflower seeds to delectable chocolates. Their cooked items, particularly the carrot salad, Olivier salad, and flavorful pelmeni, are personal favorites. This spot is undoubtedly a great place to find various Eastern European goods. The service is not only helpful but also contributes to a delightful ambiance.”

“Security lady was very helpful very professional thank you for having such a wonderful security make me feel safer in there and lots of parking spaces very clean”

“??? The best market I've ever been to in the United States ??Here there is absolutely everything you want, from plebeian food to dishes that make you drool ? just by looking at this work of art. I would start all this magnificent disgrace with “The Triumph of the Stomach.” I definitely recommend visiting this wonderfully magnificent market.”

“I went to return an item without a receipt and it was so easy. I really like shipping at Aldi's. Fruits and vegetables are so bright n colorful, fresh and a great price.”

“In a perfect world, I would never have to come here. ? I personally don't give a crap about "being seen" or overpaying for all of my groceries for clout, or whatever. lol

HOWEVER. I do come here occasionally, & it's more often than I would like. Because Erewhon does something that nobody else does: they carry specialty diet products & smaller brands that aren't widely distributed. & I appreciate that. They also appear to have slightly stricter quality/ingredient standards than a lot of the other health-focused chains now.

I used to come here for Fermenting Fairy kefir & sauerkraut before she moved to Florida. Then it was a different brand of sauerkraut - Wild West Ferments, I think. Now it's mainly for Beelers bacon, the Brown Butter Baking Co cupcakes, their in-house made chili crunch, the occasional in-house keto brownie or caramel peanut butter bombs, or Koko Kai coconut yogurt.

This was the first place I could buy Sauz, & thanks to Erewhon, they were able to expand into Whole Foods & their prices eventually went down.
I think Toodaloo didn't survive, but Clusterbucks did. Better Sours used to only be here as well, & now they carry them at Ralph's.
Lots of success stories because this place was willing to stock & take a chance on a small, new, local brand & give them a fighting chance to build a fanbase. That gives them the leverage to eventually make their way into a larger chain, paving the way for nationwide distribution if they desire.

I don't agree with everything Erewhon does, & some of their products are absolutely overpriced solely because they know their clientele will pay it anyway - but as long as they keep offering special things relevant to my diet/lifestyle that I can't get elsewhere, I will keep showing up for them. Reluctantly, but that doesn't really matter to them. ?”
