Health Food City

This little gem is in the Ralph’s shopping center and a bit difficult to find. It looks tiny from the outside. I had driven all the way from Studio City on a rainy day to find an herb I had been looking for everywhere without any luck, and I was a bit skeptical when I saw the place. When I walked in, though. .. . this is the promised land if you are looking for bulk dried herbs. They have a very impressive selection, and though today I just grabbed what I needed and got going, I WILL be back. It was worth the drive. I didn’t need to ask for help, but I heard the guy helping others and he seemed friendly. The person who answered the phone and checked me out was also nice. I can’t vouch for anything else, but if you are looking for dried herbs, this is the place to go!

First of all, I find that there is lots of unhappy people that wonder around posting bad reviews just because.
I just love this place, all the staff are friendly, helpful, and guide you to the right thing that you need.
Nohemi, Jesus, and Imelda have lots of knowledge and they can help you.
The prices are cheaper than any other store. They also carry a variety of brands.
This is the place to shop for vitamins and natural products.

My wife and I are becoming here for supplements ever since she had a problem breast feeding our daughter and they provide her with supplements for increasing her milk and the when Baby staring getting allergies they give us a great homeopathic medicine for her it works wonders people are friendly they just know what need every time we come here

I was looking for something and only knew the name I had found on the internet. I went to Whole Foods and they did not have it, called the Vitamin Shoppe and they did not have it, but the lady in this store knew the plant in question and that it is more commonly known under its Latin name. And she had it right there. I am very glad I walked by this store by chance today and found it.

Been a client for about ten years and keep going back.
Friendly staff.
Lots of brands.
They have bulk items.
Teas
Salts and salt free items.
If they don’t have they will order it for you.
They know their stuff.

I’ve been shopping here for a few years now. I like that it’s a small business; the staff is always friendly; and it feels good to have a place nearby that’s not another corporate giant. I know I can trust their products, or trust that they’ll at least carry the «well-​known» brands within the herbal industry. It also seems like the staff is using these natural products themselves and can make some basic suggestions. Instead of running to the drugstore now, I just go to Health Food City when a need arises.

It’s the store you wander through and see all kinds of things you might not be able to find at other Health Stores, but don’t really need.

If you are looking for loose herbs, this is the place. A wide selection of loose herbs, sold in bulk at reasonable prices. I used to shop for them at Wild Oats, when they closed, I went to Whole Foods, but their selection is very limited.

Trader Joe’s no longer sells some of the products I used to often buy at their stores. Thankfully, I’ve found them here. Been shopping at this store for the past 10+ years. Decent prices and well-​stocked shelves. And, I always seem to find something interesting here that I’ve never seen or heard of before.

The staff is lazy and uninformed. I asked the girl behind the counter to help me find something and instead of coming from behind the counter, she stands there trying to guide me by saying to your left, no up, no to your right… come on! There prices are ok, but the service sucks!

My dad lives in taiwan and comes here every time he’s in California for one reason alone, the selection.
The staff are helpful, but don’t bother you unless you need help (and happily so).
The store is clean, small, and reasonably priced.
I know this is short but that’s about it!

There’s a really good selection of vitamins, herbs, bulk items, and drinks. The bulk items include foods, grains, teas, spices and more.
The staff is super friendly, and helpful.

I’m actually a regular customer of theirs, my mom is a big supplement junkie and I love the fact that they have so many loose leaf herbs you can buy by the pound! The staff is really friendly and speak spanish so my mom can speak to them if she needs assistance. They have a big selection of health books and natural beauty products too.

Very cool spot for your health needs.
Since I refuse to give GNC any of my money – if I can’t find it on Ebay, HFC is my fallback plan.
I buy my Met-​Rx shake packets here. The staff is friendly, and they’re a fully stocked store.
The one thing that is kind of weird is that on their website, you’re able to see what goes on in the store in real time. They installed the camera right behind the counter to record transactions.
Well, like I said before, cool proucts & cool people make this a cool place.

Like a kid in a candy store… like a kid in a candy freakin store!
… its right across the street from Whole Foods. and it seems like they have more of a selection on vitamins and supplements — aisles and aisles!.. and I think its a little less expensive.
They also have a HUGE variety of lotions, shampoos, deodorants, and so on. Dr. Bronner’s, Jason’s, etc, TONS.
They don’t have a wide selection of foods (but they have coconut water!). And they have lots and lots of books!
Like Natalie said. they are not all about décor, the shelves are super packed. and its a little confusing to find something… but just ask for help.

This is the place I go when I need some serious herbal supplements, homeopathic treatments, and teas and such.
For the most part, the people who work here are quite knowledgeable about the products they sell, and more than willing to answer questions and provide help.
I’ve been having some trouble sleeping as of late — all this Unilocaling can keep a girl all worked up, you know — and a friend of mine told me about a supplement she was taking. I’d gone to Phoenix Pharmacy to ask about it last week and got rudely turned away by the shrew, er, I mean salesperson on duty, which was a bummer ’cause they’re much closer to my house.
So I made the trip to Health Food City and as soon as I asked for the product, they not only pointed me right to it, but took the time to explain the difference between the brands they sold.
One of the young ladies working there seemed to overlook a tea that I was looking for — I’d saved the box from a purchase I’d made long ago at that location — but I ended up finding it myself.
This store is under a block away from Whole Foods Market, which also has a wide variety of herbal products and the like, but their prices are too high and the service, when you can get it, isn’t always pleasant.
This place may not be much on décor, but they always have well stocked shelves, they know the product, and if they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll special order it for you.
