She was getting me SO HYPED up about this place that I took time out of my weekend to drive 50+ minutes here for a visit - but I ended up disappointed. Of course, I know that Tik Tok are all over this place and there's a bunch of teens posing the same pose at the same spots for likes (like my daughter) so I am sure she had fun with her friends. However, I just wished they had more shops and restaurants for me to hang out at while the kids are in line to take their pics. Overall, I give a 6/10. (My daughter gives it a 11/10 but it's too bad she doesn't have her own Yelp account). Because I am a good mom (lol), I don't mind bringing her back here, but I personally think I'll have a better time shopping at South Coast a few blocks away. P. S. No admission charge. Free parking.

This is one of my favorite outdoor malls in the Orange County area for mall walking. As it is…read morelocated near the beach, the weather is always nice and there are plenty of places to sit and rest your feet at this mall with a nice view of the beach. The mall does tend towards high end stores with a small smattering of standard stores but in general, there are a wide variety of stores. Plenty of dining options from high end or quick casual. You can even do your grocery shopping here as there is a Whole Foods market. They occasionally have special events. I happened to be here during the Lunar New Year event so one of the areas was decked out with Year of the Horse decorations. I also always walk by the Koi pond to see how the fishes are doing. Staff has always been friendly and helpful when I visit.

As outdoor mall in the affluent community of Newport Beach, Fashion Island opened in 1967, making…read moreit one of the older malls in the area. It's had it's share of anchors leaving (think Circuit City and Forever 21), but the owner (Irvine Company) continues to pour money into it, to keep it fresh and relevant. As an example, when Forever 21 declared bankruptcy and closed its store in 2019, the building was demolished in 2022 to make way for a new Restoration Hardware gallery store...which we found to be quite nice. Parking is plentiful, (mostly) covered, and free, with a pedestrian bridge on the 3rd floor taking one to the main part of the mall. And it seems to be one of the most dog friendly malls in the area, which is saying a lot. One will see a lot of signs for something called 'The Lot', which is a high end, ultra-luxury, cinema/cafe/restaurant, geared towards the clientele that the area feeds.

It used to never be this way until recently. Recklessness and obstruction. Better hope something doesn't happen and causes a big lawsuit.

Thank this plaza for all its convenience! + My friends really like the Jersey Mike's here. + There has always been room for parking in the back. + Conveniently very close to the freeway 405. Non-likes: - Despite the large parking lot, the front section is often crowded during work hours. - In the evening it dies down, but then most of the shops close around 7pm anyway, which isn't super convenient for me.

SCM review is coming soon. Google calls it a shopping mall in the "metro classic" neighborhood of Santa Ana. My first time here and it has a parking lot that is wide open. I can see it getting packed on weekends and during the holidays as with any mall. There's a good variety of mom and pop shops, along with some chain stores and restaurants. Trader Joe's is across the street, along with Starbucks and other familiar names. Seems like a good place to shop and eat, which is what I do best, lol. The place appears to be "bussin" (is that what young bucks say nowadays?! lmao!) and I'd come back for sure. I don't think I'd come at night though (doesn't seem like the safest area)...unless I'm with a crew or a dude friend. One thing's for damn sure: I'll come back for AYCE Sushi SCM!! That place is worth my commute here!

I recently came here for a Lunar New Year event, so it looked really packed because of the event itself. But it was spacious and parking was pretty decent. Lots of uncovered parking outside. It will get hot if it's a sunny day, and if you're walking further away from the parking lot, prepare for a warmer walk. With a few good dining options inside, I think that probably would make it worthy of a return visit to The District.
