There's plenty of luxurious and well known brands in this place, including LV, YSL, Gucci, Tiffany, David Yurman, Apple, Zara, H&M, and Tumi. There are five floors with Regal Cinemas on the top floor and food court at the lower floor. In food court, they have Din Tai Fung. Since Oregon has no sales tax, this mall is popular destinations for tourist, saving them some extra dollars. As we explored the mall, it looked clean and well maintained. In the common area there was a nice water fountain. The food court space wasn't too exciting other than it had DTF. All the stores we went had friendly staff. Security personnels walk around the mall to keep it safe. But outside the mall building, the surroundings are not as secure, so I suggest do all the shoppings during the day time.

If you are on a road trip and are in the area, why not? Sure, as other Yelper's mentioned, there are some empty stores here. A couple of the other malls we visited seemed to be better. But, none of them had the store that my wife wanted. The food offerings weren't much. They do have a Din Tai Fung and a Raising Canes. It's an okay mall. Parking was free for me. No complaints.

The store was clean and organized. The prices of the items were comparable to other shops we had visited in and around Portland. Among the products, I loved their magnet wall full of unique designs. There were really nice stickers and postcards. After exploring the store for several minutes, we picked few magnets and stickers. Staff members were friendly and interacting with guests. The checkout was quick and easy. Highly recommend this store to anyone looking to do souvenir shopping in downtown Portland.

They have a nice location right by Powell's Books so it was a nice way to hit two birds with one stone. Everything in this shop made for a great gift, from stationary to stickers to apparel for all ages, and even Portland themed children's books. The staff were super friendly and helped look in the back to get me more sizes in the children's shirts. This was a nice stop for souvenirs without paying airport prices.

Also the service was very friendly and informative, especially on some of their high end curated Pokemon cards.

A cute store to shop at especially if you love Pokémon!…read more When I first visited this store, the first thing that caught my eye was the huge and inflatable Eevee outside the store. It was super cute and fun to take pictures with. The store staff locks the door from the outside, so you have to flag down a staff member to let you in. I thought that was strange, but I realized they are probably doing that for anti-theft purposes since they do carry a lot of expensive items. Walking-in, I was amazed with the décor and selection. It was like I was walking through a store from Japan itself. There was a good variety of items with stuff from the Pokémon company to stuff created by small business owners. I ended up getting 4 Pokémon prints to hang in my room that were created by a small business owner. They had a deal for buy 3 get 1 free, so I could not refuse especially since the prints were so cute. I liked how they had deals like that for a lot of things. When I checked out, they even gave me a free custom sticker. My only critique is the prices. The prices are generally on the higher side for both the imported and custom made goods and this is coming from someone from LA. The 3 prints I bought totaled to around $45 which a bit high. Overall, a good experience here. I would come back if I had some extra money to spend.

The front clasp is appreciated to keep it in place. The color is exactly as depicted in the Portland Gear website. Generous lower front pouch too. Love this backpack!

This review is specifically regarding on-line ordering…read more First of all I'd like to say that I've been a fan of your products for quite some time. Kudos to creation and production. Now, the other side of the coin. After recently purchasing 3 items, I wouldn't ever recommend to anyone that they should purchase from your website. Before ordering, I was not sure which exact items to order and looking for someone from your company to perhaps help me make that decision, I realized you have NO live reps to even discuss my dilemma. I realized that none of your stores even have a phone number to call. This is very poor. Which leads me to your app/website. It is NOT user friendly. I had to spend quite a bit of my valuable time combing through, not only your site, but also reviews on other sites as well, Instagram, YouTube, etc. I work very hard for my money and I want to be a good steward with it. Your company did not help make that happen. After spending much time researching, I rolled the dice and hoped for the best. After deciding and placing my order of 3 products, the first package arrived, unfortunately missing an item. I had to go through your difficult to navigate site again, this time to report a missing item. I waited quite a bit longer to receive the 2nd product and then days longer to receive the missing product. Come on, you can do better! Your products are not cheap but your customer service is! Any company that i support, especially with the word 'Portland' in the store name, has to be better. Until you improve your customer service, I will use and enjoy the products that ive already purchased, however, I will NOT be making any new purchases and will not recommend purchases through app or website to anyone. I'm in your corner PortlandGear, get it together!

But because it is no…read morelonger home to the rich variety of tenants and all the vibrancy that you would find in the 1980's and 1990's, it has devolved into a three star affair. I have fond memories of hanging with pals at Coffee Ritz, checking out the latest in trendy fashion at Jay Jacobs, or buying jewelry at the Fossil Cartel. There were numerous other retailers that I would frequent as well, but their names escape me. Today, The Galleria building is as stately as ever. Built in 1910 and then known as the Olds, Wortman & King Department Store until 1974, it is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and an official Portland Historic Landmark. These days, that once vivacious atmosphere is lifeless and is now home to The Western Culinary Institute, Brooks Brothers, and City Target, a Target Store that is much smaller and more dense than the sprawling suburban Target stores. Even with the Starbucks on the ground floor underneath City Target, there is still something missing: soul. This is such a great location, surrounded by transit, urban dwellers, and tourists, why wouldn't you want to do business here? I would be so delighted to see more tenants come and breathe some life into The Galleria and revive this amazing building. 2015 - Review # 76

I will say the store layout was a bit interesting, with some areas that felt more cramped. It was fairly crowded when we went, so I did have to squeeze by people to make my way through the store. I spent some time browsing the clothing section and found several items that caught my eye. The clearance section was a bit disorganized and the sizes were not labeled clearly unfortunately. Customer service at Muji was friendly and adequate. The staff working in the fitting room area were especially helpful. It would've been great to have more fitting rooms available, as the line moved slowly and took up a good chunk of time. You are also limited to bringing in 5 items at a time but you can swap out items as needed. I ended up purchasing multiple tops and a few pants for everyday wear. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to browse the homewares section but was pretty satisfied with my clothing purchases and shopping experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

It was within walking distance of our hotel in the Pearl District, so we didn't need to contend with parking. It's overwhelming at first - I had heard of how large it was, but you don't quite get the scope until you start walking through - here are books and people everywhere you look! You can just wander, or make a plan of attack and strategically try to visit every corner of the store. We kind of did a combination of both, and started at the top floor and worked our way back down to ground level. The prices are typical of an independent book store, but they had a nice selection of used books and some great value books to snap up, too. There is literally something for everyone. There are lots of local authors and books set in the region. There are bookmarks around each info station with suggested/popular reads for each section of the store. There was a nice selection of local and bookish items and gifts, too - totes, t-shirts, postcards, stickers, etc. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I'll be stopping in any time I'm in Portland!
