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.

Update 2026: -- Hostile environment. Two incidents in one…read moreevening. One driver suddenly shouted by me, "Do you wanna die?!" Several mins later, as I was moving into a parking spot, another driver cut me off, honked at me, and gave me a contemptuous hand signal. 2024: tl,dr: Beautiful plaza. Beware the traffic. Likes: + Variety of restaurants and shops. + Pleasant promenade between shops and restaurants. Appreciation: I used to complain about the lack of entrances/exits into this parking lot. Over the years, thankfully they have added one to slightly streamline outgoing traffic. In recent years they've added an exit leading into alley that leads out onto Barranca Pkwy. Non-likes: - Bad traffic. Many entitled drivers cut the wait at the stop intersections. Drive slowly and be careful. - Sometimes pedestrians cross without looking both ways first.

Whether you're craving poke, burger, or a smoothie, this plaza has it. + HUGE parking lot. + Numerous entrances/exits. Makes for smooth traffic flow. + Never too crowded. + Located just down the street from Veterans Sports Park. Very convenient for me in between my athletic sessions. + I have also picked up fruit from the Stater Bros here to share with my pickleball friends at Vets. Non-likes: - The road geography around here is a lil weird. If you're at the Valencia Ave & Tustin Ranch Rd intersection, and you somehow accidentally go north on Tustin Ranch Rd, too bad. There won't be a left turn or U-turn at Edinger Ave, because these two streets don't meet. You have to continue until you reach Walnut Ave to find a detour back. A lil inconvenient.

4 years since my last review, so time for an upgrade! For me, the Irvine Spectrum is a planned trip…read moreas it's about a 30-minute drive each way. The important thing to know is that if you come during the holidays or on a weekend, it will be busy. The good thing is, as long as you don't mind parking on the very upper levels and walking a bit, I've always been able to find parking. But if you don't like walking at all, this probably isn't the center for you, and there's a lot of walking if you want to explore everything! What I love about this center is that you have everything from Nordstrom to Target, literally! You can find some very unique restaurants, along with typical chains, so there's something for everyone. We'll occasionally see a movie here as well, but that's another review. What impresses me the most is how well-maintained and clean everything is. Even the elevators in the parking garages are graffiti-free, which is very unusual. Now, not all the locations have maintained their interiors as well, but that's on them and not the Irvine Spectrum. My favorite time to come is still in December. We've always found the night atmosphere to have a lot of great energy. And yes, there are a lot of teens who hang around and have loud fun; they're harmless and add to the energy.

All of the times I have came here though to shop and whatnot, I've always had a pleasant experience. They carry a variety of great restaurants and shops. There's always ample parking everywhere but can be overwhelming. Pet friendly! Well, I really came here to say is I'm so excited that Olive Young will be arriving here and that it will house its first Orange County location!

They have a great selection of the typical mall shops like Victoria's Secret, Hot Topic, H&M, Foot Locker and Crocs. They also have some more unique stores like Candeeland and Milano shoes, a few coffee places, etc. The mall has a fairly large food court and lots of seating. It has really nice lighting and the architecture feels very modern. They have a nice Italian restaurant inside the mall call Boudin SF, which I believe is a bakery. I ate lunch there and got the chicken pesto sandwich. Very good spot for lunch after walking and shopping. This is definitely a 4 star mall and worth checking out.
