Knife Stores in San Diego, California

"We stopped in to purchase a professional knife that would keep it's edge. Even though this is a full service site for restaurants the staff couldn't be nicer, or more informative or helpful to someone who is a novice chef. Alvaro answered our questions and provided great service. I highly recommend this place for the great prices, merchandise and genuinely nice staff!"

"I purchased a cold beverage dispenser on June 25. Noone told me at check out if the item has been used EVEN once to try things out, I wouldn’t be able to return it. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF IT DOESNT WORK IF YOU DO NOT TRY IT ONCE? I have proof on camera showing that we tried it once but it was not efficient and it’s been sitting in the store ever since. The manager try to put it together himself and it took him 30 minutes for a simple machine. And..."

"Outstanding customer service. Very helpful employees who actually walk around the store asking patrons if they need assistance. Only came in as a residential customer, but will definitely be back when it's time to make upgrades to my kitchen. Will definitely be spreading the word to my friends who own food businesses."

"Large selection, nice and organized aisles good prices , check your receipts before leaving the store the cashier charged me $25 dls for an item that was $1.99 but another employee helped with the refund he was very nice . I will return to purchase again 🙂 …"

"I came to these reviews to see if anyone else had a racist encounter at this specific location. When I came in to buy some silverware as a birthday present to myself, I went up to the checkout counter, this was on a Thursday afternoon when the mall was not busy at all. When I approached the counter the woman who was on register at the time, she looked like she may have been the manager, would not look up at me or acknowledge me in anyway I waited..."

"An Unforgettable Shopping Experience at Williams Sonoma - Thanks to Satji! My recent visit to Williams Sonoma was nothing short of exceptional, and I felt compelled to share my absolutely superb experience. The store itself is a testament to quality, boasting an impressive selection of great brands that cater to every culinary and home enthusiast. The cleanliness and inviting ambiance of the store made for a delightful browsing experience. Howe..."

"I received a high-end coffee machine from Williams Sonoma as a gift, valued at $1,200. Initially, I exchanged it due to some dissatisfaction, hoping to find a better fit. Unfortunately, the replacement model was too noisy for my liking. When I returned to the store to explore other options, the employee informed me that he wouldn’t sell me another machine because these expensive machines cost the store money and go to waste. He also suggested tha..."

"Today I had the pleasure of meeting John when I went into William Sonoma. While I was looking at the Breville microwave oven, I asked John for the dimensions. With all the angst of a 12 year old girl having her first period he gave me a tape measurer and said I could have just Google it. Then continued to berate my grandmother for daring to ask for just a coffee maker. I appreciate that you don't give a s**t about your job but maybe if you had an..."

"This is the only home goods store I've been to that lets you try out knives, complete with a cutting board and fresh food to demo. It's important to see how the knife feels in your hands when you are working with it. The staff was super helpful and eager to talk to you. The store also offers knife sharpening for $5 a blade."

"In January 2023, I purchased 6 Larnaca Slate Grey Metal Kitchen outdoor cabinets from Williams Sonoma for over $12,000. I chose these cabinets and built an outdoor pool bar area according to the specifications of these exact cabinets. I was unable to unpack the cabinets and finish the remodel with these purchased cabinets until May, 2023. However, after just 1 month of placing them in the outdoor pool are I had built, I noticed the stainless s..."

"I bought a set of pans for 435$ in December. Nowhere on the site then (or even now) does it say backordered. No one can tell me when they will be delivered, every month it gets pushed back another month with no one on the customer service able to confirm. Still on the site they don’t show backorder, it shows a delivery date of 2 weeks away, with no indication that you’ll be waiting for your order to show up for 3+ months. I’ve posted reviews on t..."

"I have always loved Williams Sonoma, but I didn't love this store. I was in a line waiting to check out and an employee began to argue with the me and the customer in front of me because she changed the line formation and wanted us to move from being next in line to the back. I couldn't believe it. I put my purchase down and left. It was crazy and busy and instead of going with the original line, she decided to "improve" the problem. I won't go b..."

"I'm usually not a person who gives anyone bad reviews, but in this case I have no choice. I'm a regular customer who frequently shops here for supplies I need for my business. Even though it is still during the quarantine phase of the Covid19 pandemic, their hours according to Google maps is from 9-3pm. I arrived at the store at 220pm just to get a knife sharpener and low and behold, they had the doors locked but the open sign is lit up bright in..."

"Worst place ever. If you want to pay more than what is advertised in their price tags, this is the place. It’s the customers fault, they “order” things for you and the products never arrive. Every person at the counter gives you different price, different answer, every time. Not professionals"

"We bought a black wok. After first use it was all scratched and has a brown, rusty colored residue on the surface. We returned it and requested to change it to stainless but was charged 25% restocking fee. Item was low quality and staff was not helpful."

"I drove all the way from Solana Beach to do a return. Google is telling me they are open from 9-4pm. I drove down there to the shop. Open sign was on. Doors locked. This is ridiculous. I also called multiple times. No one ever answered the phone."
