    A bit dated shopping mall. I find it slightly awkward to walk around because there are different…read moresets of elevators that lead you to garage parking and not the point of destination where you want to go. Parking garage also dated. There is a Walmart, T&T inside.

    I believe these are the pork mung bean noodles in a clay pot. It's so flavourful and packed and I…read morereally recommend it! The pig intestine from the food stall "hong Kong" I dont recommend because it was $7.5 for those two tiny skewers which was a little sad. Remember to bring cash when dining here because some stalls only accept cash! Ps this stall requires a $5 deposit for the clay pot, so be sure to empty out the soup and return the pot for your $5 back!

    stopped in at city square shopping centre to meet up with a friend for dim sum near city hall, and…read morehonestly, it's such an underrated little spot. on the busy intersection of 12th and cambie, this place has a bit of everything, anchor stores like dollarama, daiso, and sungiven foods, plus a ton of smaller shops that give it a cozy, local vibe. the glass atrium makes it feel bright and airy even on gloomy vancouver days. there's a food court with solid options, kin's market, and a few wellness spots. there's also hot yoga, fitness world, dental, a florist, salon, and spa, seriously, it's like a mini community hub. parking was super easy, two free hours if you validate with a retailer (over $5), and it's super convenient being steps away from the cambie canada line station. not your huge flashy mall, but it's got charm, convenience, and a lot of what you may need in one spot.

    This review is regarding the PARKADE only, not a reflection of the mall itself or the stores…read morewithin. You MUST validate your parking at Sungiven Foods for 2-hour free parking, all other stores only validate for 1.5 hours - and I learned this the hard way. It was my first time driving to City Square, and I saw the sign in the parkade that read "Enjoy 2 hours free parking with purchase". I went to Dollarama first, and had my ticket validated there. I shopped around, and Sungiven Foods was one of my last stops before returning to my car. As I was driving out of the parkade, I was surprised that there was an overdue balance of $4.25 at the gate, even though I was in City Square for less than 2 hours (I had a timer on my phone). I called parking assistance and they sent Chandani to deal with the issue. She did not want to listen to my situation and was very rude and unhelpful. She kept insisting I pay for the ticket or go back upstairs to revalidate, and then walked away. I understand she may not have any authority to authorize anything or override the ticket, but she did not bother to listen or try to get help. I checked my timer, and saw that I was cutting it very close to 2 hours, so if I had re-parked my car and went back upstairs to revalidate, I would definitely go over the 2-hour limit. I paid the ticket and checked the website when I got home, and I understand that the City Square regulations states: -90 minutes FREE parking with a minimum $5.00 purchase from City Square retailers. -One retailer stamp per parking ticket allowed. Please bring your parking ticket along with you to the retailer for validation. I am upset because there was no indication (either on the website on signage posted in the mall or parkade) that the retailer stamp HAD to be from Sungiven Foods specifically (and be validated there first) in order to qualify for 2-hour free parking (instead of 90 min). Chandani also gave me the wrong information, and I would not have been able to re-validate at Sungiven foods anyways if I went back upstairs, as only one retailer stamp per parking ticket is allowed (as per the website). I did email the admin at City Square as well with my concerns over the signage, and asked for a possible refund. Chasity from Reception & Administration directed me to Precise Parklink in regards to the ticket refund. I didn't bother contacting Precise Parklink because on paper, I did exceed the 1.5 hour parking limit, but the reason for this is because of the misleading and unclear signage in my opinion.

I was impressed that from one corner I spotted theatres, dining options, retailers, banks and a drug store. My favorite area is the huge outdoor plaza. Open sky, seating, dancing fountains and a waterfall. Nice even for pets. Perfect spot for having a coffee. Concierge, gift wrapping, coat and parcel check, escalators and elevators are available to enhance a guest's experience. There is a variety of retailers such as Urban Outfitter, L.L. Bean, Rogers, Sporting Life, Nike, Eyes Inspire and Sephora to name a few. Royal Bank, Van City Credit Union, Canada Post and Dental offices are some of the businesses that have set up shop here too. You have to have dining choices and there are over 30 right now to please the appetite. I've been to Japa Dog, Saboten and Cazba in their deluxe food court. All were surprisingly five star experiences......impressive for a grab and sit down casual meal! Earl's kitchen and Bar, Bow and Stern and Hello Nori are on my radar for my next visit. Pay parking seems to dominate the areas I've parked in my five visits to this center- unless you are visiting a financial institution for under 30 mins or have it validated by certain retailers like London Drugs. Tip: Remember where you parked. All the levels look the same! LOL

London drugs is also bigger and better here -- it recently reopened at a better location inside this mall with entry from the plaza and drew a huge crowd on the May re-opening date. I think Amazing Brentwood offers much better value since its opening and their ratings have gone up from 1 star in my books, ever since they updated their parking signage. I appreciate that they improved from their early opening days in 2022/2023. Now, it's easier to find their parking lots with free 3 hour parking and more convenient to pay via scanning of a QR code. In addition, there are four restaurants here that offer complimentary underground parking for 2 hours. Overall I am pleased with their service and they offer good value. It's amazing for convenience where it groups together good shopping brands like Lululemon and Sephora plus reputable Asian and Western cuisine such as Hadilao, Neptune, Earl's, Tap & Barrel, Bow & Stern, and La queria etc all in one location. I would recommend Brentwood for their spacious parking lots, cleaner food court environment, underground parkade on rainy days and for the various restaurants at Brentwood with happy hour options.
