The health department needs to make more visits to this place…read more My family and I have been coming here since I was a little girl, my dad loved getting the flans from this bakery. Refer to the pic I posted. As soon as you enter it's on the right hand side. They have bread, flans, jello, fruit. I came in and looked at the bread and there was A HUGE FLY INSIDE where the bread was at!! It was flying super slow like it had been in there for a while. I told one of the girls and she dare give me attitude because I told her there was a fly in there!! She said "what else did you need" I said "nothing else! Just need you to take care of this!" And she said okay. I walked away and went to other little stores. As I was leaving I looked to see if she got rid of the bread and the bread was in there still. Same one as when I told her to get rid of the fly. All she did was get rid of the fly and she left the tainted bread in there!!!! Disgusting!!! This is people's health ya'll are playing with!!! Not okay and never going back there. People pay $$ for edible food , and these establishments just don't gaf. I told everyone I know about my experience so they can be aware!! As for other restaurants here, it's always a hit or miss!!! Not coming back!!!

A shell of its former self…read more What was once a vibrant market, now has so many empty shops. Kind of depressing, but a fun stroll to get some dulces and people watch. Still lots of little things you can buy like shoes, cookware, pinatas+candy, food, candy etc. Feeling kind of sour aftertaste from the arcade games (that uses credit card system). I got $10 worth of credits and then all the machines suddenly turned off. Now I'm stuck with a half full card that only works at this arcade. Just like many shopping malls, this place is also slowly dying.

One of the few remaining malls that's still hopping!…read more A large selection of shops of all types. The main areas are kept pretty clean because they have an ample staff of folk, and their food court has a good selection. The value is in the selection of shops, and there's almost no dead/open spots, every shop is filled - all offering deals this time of year.

First thing's first, I'm glad this mall is SINGLE STORY. I don't have to worry about my fear of…read moreheights and it doesn't feel stuffy because it has HIGH ceilings. However... with a single story comes a TON of walking. Be prepared for that! There's a lot of your standard mall stuff here, so it's not worth mentioning about the department stores, but the mall portion is a fine experience. There are lots of clothing stores and dessert places, and there's a movie theater and some nice restaurants, but I will say there's NOT much to do as a fun activity for families with small kids. Older kids will have some things to do like VR or build-a-bear, but smaller kids will not. Food court is fine, there's some good options and I actually like that it's next to the entrance/exit of the mall so you don't have to be "stuck" in a second story hidden area forcing you to walk by stores while getting out of the mall. Standard mall food court options like Sbarro, it's really just a place to hang out. Again, nothing special, but super clean and open space brings this to an average 3/5 for me.

This Walmart, though, always has a trash whirling around in the parking lot. There are plenty of other stores and restaurants here mainly geared towards families. For the longest time, the parking spots really irked me - particularly those near Blaze, etc. Jaime G. recently posted some pictures saying they repainted the lines to make them larger, but I had to see it to believe it. Sure enough, they have three painted the lines as of 9/15/15! Everyone in South Gate drives a big gnarly truck or an SUV... or they just can't park period, so it was getting pretty frustrating. THANK YOU whoever made the final decision on getting it fixed. Security is usually driving around in a golf cart if you need assistance. Also, they frequently have events, deejays, and little concerts here, etc. It's pretty vibrant for South Gate. I like it. Review #395 Yelp challenge 76/100

I visited Stonewood Center with someone, and instead of feeling lively or fun, the whole place made…read moreme feel tense and unsafe. I tried to enjoy it the way I usually do with new places, but the atmosphere felt unpredictable in a way that teenagers or young adults definitely wouldn't enjoy. As I walked around, I kept seeing groups of people arguing loudly or acting in ways that made the environment feel unstable, and it surprised me how often it happened. It wasn't just one moment -- it felt like something concerning was happening every time I turned a corner. What bothered me even more was how poorly monitored the mall seemed. There were areas with almost no staff or security around, which made the whole place feel even more unpredictable. Even the parking lot felt uncomfortable because of the lighting and the people wandering around who didn't seem to be there for shopping. Instead of feeling relaxed, I felt like I had to constantly watch my surroundings, which is the opposite of what a mall should make you feel. I really tried to give Stonewood Center a fair chance, but the longer I stayed, the more I realized I wasn't having any fun at all. I didn't feel safe, I didn't feel comfortable, and I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to teenagers or anyone who wants to enjoy their time without worrying about what might happen around them. I've lived for 24 years, and I've been to plenty of malls, but this was one of the few times where the environment itself felt like the problem. I only visited Stonewood Center once before writing this review, and honestly, that was enough. Because of how unsafe it felt, I'm giving it a 1‑star rating and hoping it improves so people can feel comfortable going there again.

It's made up of several separate buildings on a quad-like area that house food stalls, restaurants, a tap room, and an art gallery. At its heart is a courtyard for playing, eating, or relaxing. A word mosaic of "love" written in dozens of languages blankets one wall. On another, a colorful elephant stands tribute to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an organization that rescues and rehabilitates orphaned elephants. The positive message is clear. As for the food, I had a good lunch at Faka's Island Grill. However, I would have liked to see more compelling and standout options. Like, "I have to go to The Enclave because they have X." For now, the outdoor living design outshines the culinary content. That said, there are enough options that you won't leave hungry. And the good vibes will carry you long after the food is gone.

The 2016 YELP 500, Review #135:…read more I created this entry/entity so that those who are traveling to the area, like myself, can easily figure out everything that is in this shopping center through one entry on Yelp. This helps out a lot when you have a whole bunch of people not from the area and you, perhaps, just come out of the movies. No one is ready to go home yet and everyone is hungry. The first thing you want is to know where to go. The last thing you want to do is Click 50 different places when you don't know the neighborhood. This could lead to frustration if everybody can't get what they want. Now enter the Downey Gateway Yelp entry. Once you read up on it and look at the pictures, you will realize that this place is pretty loaded with variety. From Burgers to Pizza. From Cajun food to sushi and even hummus. From fish to healthy grilled foods and there is even. Something dedicated to your sweet tooth for dessert (or anytime) - a frozen yogurt shop! Oh and we can't forget the other businesses that are not food related, such as Financial Partners, Adalies, Vanity, Allure & CrossFit. So I sincerely hope the Downey Gateway offers everyone something that they love. Sincerely, A guy from Florida that loves this place.
