I like this Whole Foods for many reasons. I work really close by, so it is convenient for grocery shopping and eating lunch at a walking distance. They have a variety of lunch choices from salad bar, hot lunch bar, plenty of pizza options, juice bar, vegan area, sandwiches, smoked chicken, etc, etc. The prices are a bit up there but the quality is worth it. I love buying the smoked chicken breast they have here. They always remove all the bone for me and shred it. I buy enough for it to last me days and it tastes sooooo delicious. The smoked chicken is located in the meat department of the store. Highly, highly recommend!!! Ive only ever had wonderful customer service here in all areas of the store. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Not only are they there to answer your questions but they also have specialists in wine choices, cheeses, etc. You wont find that at most markets. Ive had the privilege of getting a private tour of the store with the Mom Ambassadors group Im a part of, which partners with Whole Foods. I learned so much about the standards and high quality Whole Foods posseses. It made me more comfortable paying a bit more than other large grocery store chains. Ive gone to several Whole Foods and this one in Westwood is certainly not the biggest. A lot of people go here for lunch so there isnt always a place to sit, so thats annoying. Parking could be a pain too. For these reasons, I give this Whole Foods 4 stars instead of 5.

I work about two blocks away and I am so glad! I love this place! Ive never been disappointed because even when I havent liked something they take it back and give me a refund even if I have already tasted it. I usually get the grilled salmon in the seafood section but today I didnt feel like fish, so I went to the hot food bar instead (not to mention, its half off every Wednesday). This is what I got: Teriyaki Chicken: It was juicy, tender and not too oily. I was in the mood for chicken with a hint of flavor and was not disappointed. Baked Plantains: Generous pieces that were plump and sweet without any added sugar. They reminded me of my grandmothers baked plantains because they were cooked exactly the same- Delicious!! Sweet Potato Fries: They were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside--just how I likeem! Like I said, I love this place! Although it is not cheap, it is totally worth it. They always have high quality ingredients and great customer service. You wont be disappointed.

This is a pretty small whole foods compared to the one in Santa Monica but it does have a parking in Westwood village, which is a pretty amazing feat. The hot food bar is kinda meh. I looked at the soup today and it looked old and gross. When they were going taco Tuesdays, the meat was flavorless. Im definitely not a fan. However, if you want to burn your mouth the ghost pepper chilly is really hot.

My second home to work. My coworker and I always visit this location on a daily. We usually go for the vegan cookies, or when we missed out lunch we usually grab a bite to eat. When they have sales on Vitamins, we try take advantage of the salel. They are ALWAYS friendly and since we are regular shoppers; we always get the royal treatment. Always a pleasure going to this Whole Food location.

High quality hot dishes, amazing buffet salad bar, excellent fruit selection, and always clean with friendly staff. A great place to stop and rest before hitting the highways while visiting LA. Get off the traffic on Hwy 405. Rest at Whole Foods with a cup of yogurt and fresh sliced watermelon wedges chilled in the cooler as you walk in the door to your right, day or night.

Easy parking Nice selection Friendly staff This is one of my favorite locations! Generally, Whole Foods is quite expensive but this location offers discounts on the salad bar on Wednesdays and other cool discounts throughout the week. I especially love their granola section its simply the best. The vanilla almond is bomb. Overall great place

This store is chaotic and overcrowded, plus its difficult for mobility challenged people to get around based on the layouts in many areas. Overpriced, but I guess thats part of the WF experience? Paying $3 for the same mac and cheese I could get at Target for $1? No thanks! However, the staff members are amazingly friendly and helpful.

This store is for the health conscious person. Its nice and clean with friendly staff. It is very expensive with various prepared food areas and a bar. I was devestated when they removed El Barracho and replaced it with a Asian Mexican fusion restaurant! None the less it is a great store to go to for those items you cant find.

Good healthy organic options as is the case with all locations. Its a smaller store but seems to have all the essentials. Occasionally Ill get prepared food for lunch but it tends to be expensive. It caters to rich ucla students, no question there. Too small really with fewer options in prepared foods.

Same quality I have grown to expect from WF. The inventory seems low here because sometimes the items I regularly purchase are OOS. The parking lot feels a bit cramped too. Much better situation than TJs in Westwood though and the staff is always helpful when I ask them anything.

Nonplusultra. Hier habe ich am öftesten gegessen. Die Salate sind der Wahnsinn. Zum Einkaufen ist Ralphs oder Trader Joes besser.

Great healthy food. A little on the expensive side but quality is excellent. I always come and pick up a few items that I need, then bounce lol. Cant do all your shopping here but they have some items that are affordable to us average waged people.

My wife and I come here weekly to pick up fresh organic food for our dinners. We love to cook together and would grow our own produce, but we lack green thumbs. Fresh herbs is all we can grow. Whole Foods helps us out with everything else. Great place.

Very small location with not so many options compared to other Whole Foods Market locations that carry more items. When I asked a couple of the employees for help in the produce section, they did not look too happy being asked with questions.

Most of the products are way too expensive. I buy organic steak, eggs and milk cheaper from the other stores. I dont think just for the fact that the product is being sold at whole foods should make it automatically more expensive.

Great supermarket, its a little pricy compared to some other supermarkets, but for reasons a lot of their products are msg free, and steroid free, great non pesticides fruits and vegetables and a great on going gourmet food far

I really enjoy the hot food bar. Whole Foods has a much better selection and variety than Ralphs. They switch it up daily and have food for vegetarians, vegans, and carnivores alike

They have a parking lot that is right in front of the store so it is quite convenient. Their options are slightly limited but they have many alternative and healthy food brands.

Great location, not too crowded. Food is always fresh and they have an excellent selection. The staff is especially friendly and helpful (recipe suggestions, etc.)
