P & J African Caribean Products — Local services in Gardena

Horrible customer service and experience. I went into the store and was holding 3 small items. I got in the line. While in the line the man working at the cash register yells at me and says “get a basket”. I responded that I do not need one and have no problem holding the items. He then yelled “don’t put any items down on the counter”. I hadn’t put any items anywhere but it in my hands while there. I have no idea why he said this because the store is a mess, especially the counters. They have dirty open boxes all over the countertops so it’s not like their priority is to keep the place clean and organized. I usually avoid this store because of past experiences I have had with consistent horrible customer service and the messy setup of the store. I went today because I was desperate and needed to buy a specific food item for a event which is only sold at this store. I hadn’t been to the store in over one year and nothing has changed. The store does not have competition that is why they are still open. There are no other stores that sell many of the items they sell, so the owners do not care about the customer experience as long as they are making money. After this experience I will never shop at this...

Miss home(Nigeria/Africa) and want to have a taste of the delicacies you've not had for a while for an affordable price?..... This store is the right place. I wasn't expecting the prices of stuff here to be reasonable, but it was!

Got ground melon seeds(egusi) for $20, and we used it to make soup for 3 times. Garri for $10 lasted throughout this time as well. Leaves(bitter, pumpkin) for $4 each.

They have ọgbọnọ, stock fish, bonga fish, even the most popular noodles in Naija(Indomie).

But I must warn you, the stock fish you are going to find here(at least the one I one I got when I went there) has an extreme amount of sodium, so be sure to put the fish in hot water, let it sit for at least 20 minute, then drain before using it in your soup.

Go find out for...

They have all the African foodstuffs and spices you can think of. It’s like a traditional supermarket in Nigeria but you are actually living in United State Of America. Plus all their African foodstuffs are very fresh fresh fresh including their Fresh African SNAILS. I love buying and stocking up our Nigerian foodstuffs from P & J. And the Brothers/Owners are very nice and...
