That being said, ROW DTLA is a dreamscape when it comes to filming content and just catching city vibes in a safe space. Located near the Arts District this space of buildings used to be utilized for the textile industry. With multi floored buildings creating rows of foot traffic on the ground this space is perfect for events, pop ups, and get togethers. It's one of the reasons why Smorgasburg is held here on Sundays. It's why on any given weekend there may be an event being held, whether it be to celebrate AAPI month or the different creatives in the area. This space is filled with homegrown businesses and unique shops to visit. One of my favorite places is Hightide which is a Japanese stationary and supplies shop. The vibes are immaculate and walking in really feels like being in a store in Japan. Another popular space is Scent Bar for those who love perfume and are aromaphiles. With plenty of small curated artists being featured in this apothecary of aromas, Scent Bar is a nice stop whilst visiting the Row. If you're looking for interesting and discussion worthy furniture A+R is a must, located at one of the ends of the Row. For good coffee with artistic vibes you got to check out GGET (Go Get Em Tiger). Next to that if you're looking for stronger waters is Flask & Field with smaller batch and independent distilleries and crafters. All of this and the parking is free for the first 2 hours. In LA, that's unheard of! And it's a large parking structure with modern infrastructure. Blessed. With all this, hopefully ROW DTLA will continue to grow with more businesses and still retain its charm as time marches forward. Good for a short stay or half a day, if you're looking for things to do in LA proper, ROW DTLA is worth your drive.

It's literally right next to where Smorgasburg is being held, so we spent whatever little time we had there and didn't really explore the rest of ROW DTLA. Though I have to say that I was very surprised that were even still in LA. No graffiti, trash everywhere, smell of human wastes or anything. Very clean, modern, spacious, and calming even with the crowds of people there. Felt like an oasis in LA. Though that comes with the price, seeing the businesses here. Yes they look nice but it's giving hoity toity performative LA folks vibe and I can see why rent to live in LA is so high. Nothing really piqued my interest as a non normie, but I'm sure if you are one or like these kind of non franchise, off label places, for normie looking, better quality clothes, home goods, etc. this is for you.

    Fantastic must-visit shopping plaza in Chinatown. It felt so nostalgic for me to come back here…read morebecause it reminds me of my youth and grandparents! I used to come here often as a kid, and the feel/essence of the place has stayed the same! There's so many different shops ran by hard working and often elderly folks. There's shops that sell kitchenware, clothes, shoes, luggage, art, toys, and even a sewing business. Everything was extremely affordable and the quality of products weren't bad. Some stores look closed, but don't be fooled... this place is large and it's easy to get lost. There weren't many visitors or customers walking around. I do worry about if this place will sustain another generation. I sincerely hope it can stay alive for a long time to come Overall, this is a great shopping plaza that I recommend LA Chinatown visitors to visit.

Since it is almost Tet, there are lots of decor and li xi (lucky red letter envelopes) being sold here. You can get knock off bags like Kipling. There are lots of pajamas, ao dai (traditional Vietnamese clothing) and Chinese outfits. There are kids clothes, shoes, toys and pajamas. The workers sometimes will try to sell or advertise their stuff to you but they're not pushy about it. I came on a Monday so it was empty and easy to navigate. They had t-shirts for $10 for 3 and women's pants for $5. The bad: It can be difficult to find street parking. We got metered parking a few blocks down. The interesting: There are food vendors here too and a spooky restroom with flickering lights.

    My parents brought my three younger brothers and me to Chinatown Central Plaza almost every weekend…read morewhen we were young kids. Now in my older age, I don't frequent this place as much. L.A. Chinatown Firecracker 5/10K Run/Walk & Bike Ride event has been held here for the last 48 years in celebration of Lunar New Year and in support of the L.A. local communities. I participated in this event for the past 3 years starting with the 2024 Year of the Dragon. I intend to participate in this event every year from here on out. It's such a fun and festive activity for all ages. Come join us! Most of the original business shops have closed. A few of them still remain. It's not as crowded as it was back in the days. Still nice to stroll through the walkways to reminisce the good times. Some of the buildings exterior appears to be original. The colorful Chinese gateway entrance is a bit dated. Hope they restore it soon. A visit to L.A. must include a visit to this iconic plaza. May you find great restaurants and good shops. Enjoy a peaceful morning with a hot cup of coffee or tea from Thank You Coffee, a delightful egg tart from Wonder Bakery, plus a light and crispy sugar butterfly aka danzan from Phoenix Bakery, while sitting at the bench and people watching. End your afternoon with a nice walk around the plaza and its surrounding area. Don't forget to snap a beautiful selfie with our famous Bruce Lee (statue). Have a wonderful visit! P.S. Will post photos later. Thank you.

When one thinks…read moreof a historic Chinatown in a major city, this sort of architecture and view is what someone would expect. Unfortunately, there are many vacant store fronts, with still visible signs of historic restaurants, since long closed (e.g. Hop Louie). It looks like Golden Dragon Gifts shop is still operating, though closed when we came on a Sunday. There is an area filled with coin operated kiddie rides (cars, panda bears, etc)...will be back for that once appropriate.

You've got all the essentials like Target, Sephora, Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and even Gold's Gym just in case you want to fit in a quick workout after shopping. The food options are definitely something I need to check out. I haven't tried most of them yet, but there's a solid variety that's definitely on my list like Morton's The Steakhouse, New Moon, Mighty Bowl, George's Greek Grill, and Indus by Saffron. Theres plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. My go-to sweet treat is always CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice for their delicious house milk tea with sago!! I also appreciate that it's consistently well-maintained and that security is always visibly patrolling, which definitely adds peace of mind since DTLA can get hectic. Plus they also have a parking structure, not 100% sure if they validate though or how much it costs.

The atmosphere was already lively and youthful when I arrived, but seeing so many teenagers hanging out there made the energy feel even brighter. Groups of teens were exploring the shops, taking pictures, trying snacks, and just enjoying the open layout in a way that made the whole mall feel like a comfortable place to be yourself. It reminded me of that same playful excitement I felt when I visited Funko Hollywood -- that sense of stepping into a space where fun comes naturally and nothing feels rushed. What really stood out to me was the selection inside the mall. There's a wide mix of stores that teenagers would love, from trendy clothing spots to places with accessories, beauty items, and you can buy without spending too much. It's the kind of selection that makes teenagers feel like they have options -- whether they want to shop, browse, or just look around for inspiration. Even the food court has a great variety, with choices that fit different tastes and budgets, which makes it easy for teens to grab something quick while hanging out with friends. That variety gives the whole place a sense of value, because you don't have to spend a lot to enjoy yourself, and you can always find something that fits your mood. I also noticed how many areas were perfect for taking photos, especially around the outdoor walkways and colorful walls. Teenagers were stopping to take pictures in front of different backdrops, and it made me realize how much creativity the mall encourages. Even though I had been to other shopping centers before, I didn't realize how enjoyable FIGat7th would be until I walked through it myself. The open-air design makes everything feel fresh, and the seating areas give teenagers a place to relax, talk, and enjoy the moment without feeling like they're in the way. It's the kind of environment where you can take your time, explore at your own pace, and feel comfortable just being there. I only visited FIGat7th one time in my life before making this review, but it left a really positive impression on me. It was one of the most relaxed, youthful, and creatively inspiring shopping areas I've been to in a long time. I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a space to feel creative, take pictures, enjoy the selection of stores, and get great value out of their visit without needing to spend a lot.

We were interested in stopping because it was our first time there and wanted to see it, however, we only had approximately one hour to explore. The shopping center wasn't too busy yet since it was so early, but also most all of the stores were closed as well. We did not get the complete experience of everything that this mall offers. A couple of bakeries were open when we visited and I am glad that we stopped! They allowed us to get some sweet treats and pastries, and they actually became one of the highlights of our trip to Little Tokyo! Although some of the stores weren't opened yet, it was great just to explore the area! All of the storefronts at the mall and surrounding Plaza were decorated for the holiday season. This brought an extra layer of charm to the shopping trip and helped create a cozy, festive ambiance! The quietness of the early morning hours created a amazing environment for us to walk through and enjoy our short little excursion to this beautiful shopping center! Although my visit was brief, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would love to go back again, but next time during afternoon or evening hours when all the shops are open so I can finally see everything the Little Tokyo Mall has to offer!

    We visit here maybe once a year, as it's out of the way, and the Outlets of Orange are closer, but…read moreyou have to appreciate the fun architecture and atmosphere of this place. I remember first coming here in 2003. They felt like true outlet stores, with heavily discounted merchandise. Today, it feels like a regular-priced mall. And many items are not cheap. For example, I was interested in a pair of jeans, but checked online, and Macy's was cheaper with their current sale! Several places had buy one, get one 50% off, so 25% off total, which you can find at a regular mall. There also used to be a larger variety of stores, especially in housewares. I would say 80% of the stores are now clothing or shoes. There is a Disney Outlet for toys, Samsonite for luggage, and Vitamin World. There are, of course, sunglasses. The food court is OK, but it gets very busy on the weekends. The only real sit-down restaurant is Ruby's. One thing to know: the cell phone reception is REALLY bad! Several locations have free wi-fi for customers, but I found a few required a password. Another not-so-smart thing is that the bathrooms near the food court have only 3 single-use bathrooms! There are larger ones towards the middle of the mall. But near a food court? Come on guys.
