    My favorite market. I will have to come back to this one through the coming years. Like the downtown grocery store in La Jolla that I always go back to.

    Sangak is the best in Irvine. Take-away food is pretty good, too. Also they have an extensive selection of middle-eastern sweets.

    Candy, the short female supervisor at cashiers section is RUDE, unprofessional and a smirking cheap, incapable of handling any small situation and only knows how to be rude and cause scenes.

    Fruits and veggies are the cheapest in OC. Never go to a chain supermarket for that stuff.

    Best Gyros in town. Thai chicken salad is great too. Make sure to get a pecan tart too. Outstanding. Oh yeah, and can't beat their price on Gnarly Head wines.

    If you're interested in a dalliance away from Sangak bread, cruise their bread aisle. They stock exceptional local (LA/OC) pitas/lavash/armenian breads/challah etc.

    It's ok. Sometimes the meat doesn't smell very fresh. Prices vary a lot. The produce is ok, but the produce area is packed out with people usually.

    Their Empire boneless/skinless chicken breasts are cheaper than Trader Joes'. They don't stock organic.

    Why is it when a place becomes successful, it's their customer service that goes down the tube? Sad. I used to come here every week, now months go by.
