Wholesome Choice

Great market if you need halal items or are looking for middle eastern goods. The produce is really nice and they have a great selection of meats.. beef, pork, lamb, goat, chicken, duck, including the "bits." The space is little busy inside, so keep it moving, know what you want.They have a strong hot food and dessert selection. The folks who work this area are all nice, you can sample some of the curries and meats they have for sale to help you decide.

This is primarily a grocery store that caters to our Persian population. You can find all sorts of exotic items here. Specialty breads, gorgeous flowers, etc. Additionally, their produce department is truly phenomenal. It's also seemingly always teeming with people and it's bumper to bumper shopping carts. I'm personally not a fan of their meat department.They also have a whole section of buffet food vendors which sadly have changed in the last decade and the quality disappeared. Plenty of free parking and they make the most out of their footprint.

There has been a Wholesome Choice Shopping Cart sitting in our neighborhood for the past 6 days. The neighbors have repeatedly called the store to come pick it up and 6 days later it is STILL here. Every time we call, we get passed around as each WC employee from cashiers to managers PROMISE to pick it up and ask for the location or address YET AGAIN - but it's still there. Four days ago, the person stated an employee had just left with a tow truck to retrieve it - but it is still on the corner of our street, so not only are they not taking responsibility for their carts, but they are also lying about their attempts to pick it up. I think this corroborates the reviews here which state that their customer service is terrible. Their concern for the surrounding neighborhood is non-existent.Day 7 and the shopping cart is here.

This supermarket has to be closed for good. I never ever write reviews like this. Not only they rip customers off with their prices, The groceries, food department and deli department is absolutely beyond Disgusting. This is the third time I tried to buy deli meat and the meat was slimy and smelled sour. The first time it happened I was already home and since I lived further away, I decided to throw the whole thing out and not make the trip back there but called and brought up to their attention. Again tonight, I went to buy it and I asked to try a piece. She cuts a piece and puts it in front me nonchalantly, without giving it a thought. I smelled it and it smelled rotten and sour. I couldn't believe it. So I went to the cooked food department and bought a whole rotisserie chicken. When I get home, I cut the chicken in half and there was blood in the middle. The chicken was not cooked at all. This is unacceptable and beyond disgusting. I will call the health department in this regards I guarantee you. But I wanted to make this review and let people know so they can keep an eye on what they buy from the store and be very careful what they eat.On top of all of that the service is horrible. You ask Anybody that works there where something is , No one knows where they're at they keep passing you off to someone else I honestly don't understand why they are even in business. Tonight was the last time I buy anything from wholesome choice. I'm boycotting them and I'm hoping that everyone else does too.

Over the years, the quality of wholesome food has noticeably declined compared to what it was 10+ years ago. This grocery store, with a strong selection of international products, stands out for its range of Persian items, as it's a Persian grocery store. Despite shopping here for five years, I hadn't tried their food since my last sampling experience was disappointing--it tasted burnt. This time, I reluctantly tried a sample they offered, but it was even worse. I ended up throwing it away because the small piece of chicken and meat was dry and burnt, while the soup tasted like it came from the bottom of the pot and was completely flavorless.To me, samples should be fresh if they're meant to attract customers to a product. Persian cuisine is known for its rich flavors and freshness, neither of which was present in the sample I tried.The staff here is friendly and warm, especially Ali at the register, who goes above and beyond. Be sure to use any coupons and register your phone number for rewards. Prices are a bit higher than at other Persian grocery stores in the LA area, so it's also a good idea to check expiration dates on items. The store itself is quite packed, with narrow aisles that make it hard for two carts to pass each other, and customers often bump carts or get stuck. Plus, some customers aren't always attentive, which can lead to accidental cart collisions.

What do they not carry? This place is filled with quality ingredients! And they have their own food section which tastes pretty great. It's a great spot to stock up on halal meats! Fast service at the meat counter, and everyone is very helpful. You can get take-out and eat inside or outside they have good seating.

This review is for the Blue Moon Cafe within Wholesome Choice. Enjoyed the Swiss Bliss crepe that took about 15 minutes to make. The crepe tasted good but was salty. Pay at the small terminal on the corner of the stall.

I hadn't been to Wholesome Choice for several years and My God has it changed!!!They still have tons of International food options, including hot food. I had gone to purchase some spices and etc for the Persian food I wanted to cook...They have increased their prices however they are comparable to other places, and their fruits and vegetables were very fresh...It was packed even though it was during the week and the middle of the day!My biggest concern is that they have packed the store so much with products, that two carts can't pass by (in opposite directions) at the same time which made it very challenging to maneuver our carts... I'm shocked the Fire Department hasn't fined them being that it's a huge hazard should there be a fire or emergency evacuation..The AC must have been out that day too since the entire store was extremely hot and uncomfortable to be in!!!

This review is only for their sangak bread! It's soo yummm and always a hit at get togethers, parties, and potlucks!! Comes out hot from the oven and can be reheated/toasted at home as well. Dip it in anything!The line can get long for the bread but I have never waited longer than 15 to 20 mins. They sometimes limit the # of bread you can buy depending on the line. Grocery store itself always feels crowded and I think it's because the aisles are not super wide.

This owner of the Turkish restaurant in wholesome choice should be removed. He started off begging me to try his food before closing, I insisted I didn't want to and I was interesting in something else, but seeing him plead gave me a change in heart and decided to put faith. what threw me off at first was the way he treated his female employees. He was extremely condescending and degrading to his hardworking employees without any shame... to top that off he first doesn't ask or communicates with me what I want to put on my sides, but seeing he's already made my meal, I didn't want to be rude and waste food so I took it but also told him it would be nice if he could communicate and respectfully ask next time, he instead went on a tangent complaining about how they're the only ones open...and how I should be grateful...how he's been open for 15 years.. completely unrelated to the feedback. Never bring him business again.
