Plenty of food options here. One of my favorite is Ding Tai Fung, also the Nagi ramen place is another good choice. If you have room for dessert, the Japanese cheesecake at Uncle tetsu is a place I stop for sweets. Plenty of parking, there is usually a lot of parking available at the structure by AMC and Bowlero.

I really like this mall I just visited about two weeks ago…read more They have a great selection of Asian specialty foods, skincare, and toys/things to do. My favorite place in the mall is the Hello Pottery and the bakery upstairs near the Gap. The massage people upstairs could do a little better but I guess because I'm pregnant they didn't want to put too much pressure on me. I felt like they rushed my massage at Diamond massage since it was close to closing time. I have yet to see the entire mall but I loved one of their Korean skincare stores I got a few items, the old navy is nice, Nordstrom employees helped me and told me about my bag that I got how to care for it, the Din tai fung was my first time going and nice. I still want to explore the rest :) especially the market downstairs

Free parking is available. It gets really packed on the weekends so come here during early hours of restaurant and/or store opening or late afternoon. I haven't entertained any eateries from here. I'll have to spend a whole day just to get immersed in all the good eats offered at this shopping center. Watch out, I'm coming LOL.

Both are quite neat!

My Dad is no longer with us... he's been gone for almost 5 years now... miss you dearly and love you always Dad! Now I have taken over my Dad's place. I bring my Mom here all the time usually on Saturdays unless we have a prior arrangement with my brothers to eat elsewhere in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) food galore hub LOL. Hey, my parents used to bring my 3 younger brothers and I out to SGV every weekend since the early 1980's until I started high school and that's when I went out with my parents less and less. We would ride in the back of my Dad's delivery truck (he had a furniture business)... man, those were the good fun old days! Now it's just my Mom and I in a Toyota Prius in the 21st century LOL! At the food court, there's actually a great variety of different ethnic foods. Here are my favorites... 1. For Vietnamese foods, Nuoc Mia Vien Dong is a wonderful choice... they offer 1 or 2 or 3 items plates for very reasonable prices and portions are huge! 2. For Chinese foods, Golden Bull Noodle is my go-to. They have the best and I mean BEST Hainan Chicken Rice... freshest and moistest chicken you'll ever eat! My Mom and I can eat this every weekend and not get bored of it... and we have done so on many occasions LOL. Black Pepper Beef or Chicken stir fry with thick egg noodles is excellent, too. 3. For Hong Kong Style Chinese foods, Harlem's Kitchen is your spot! Delicious wonton or dumpling egg noodle soup, beef chow fun, soy sauce chow mein, thousand egg pork/seafood congee, etc... you name it! They are always busy... that's a very good sign! 4. For Thai foods, your only choice is New Thai Star and that's all you need... just one good one! Pad See Ew Fried Tofu or Shrimp, Pad Woon Sen Seafood, Pad Thai Chicken, and Green Papaya Salad are my go-to dishes. Just great tasting foods all around. They have a very good Spicy Beef Bowl, but I don't eat beef anymore, but maybe I can ask them to replace it with seafood next time... we'll see. 5. For Vietnamese desserts and drinks, Hien Khanh is your gal! Their egg flan is the best of the best egg flan I have ever eaten in my life... so smooth and just perfect in texture & taste. Che Ba Mau has the freshest coconut milk plus your choice of up to 5 toppings. No one beats them in this category of desserts and drinks in SGV! They take home the trophy every time! Actually, you can't go wrong with any of the food vendors at this food court. I've tried them all... there are a few I prefer (above) over others (not mentioned above). Nevertheless, they are all good. It all boils down to what you want to eat at that moment... you have choices! Be grateful that you do. Happy Choosing! Besides the food court, I have shopped at the GW Supermarket for selective items. It's not my go-to supermarket at SGV, but it comes in handy whenever I need something quick and don't want to drive to San Gabriel Superstore. They also have shops inside and outside. I haven't checked out all their shops. Overall, it's a great shopping center. Parking can be a challenge though. They are always busy. Just be patient. We'll see you here next weekend LOL. Happy Shopping and Eating!

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.

It is anchored by McDonald's, Sam Woo Restaurant, and Lucky Market. There are also some small boutique shops and other services for nails, spa, mail, lending, etc. Most recently added biz are R&B Teahouse and a massage place. I have two gripes about this plaza. One is the limited parking. For the number of businesses, I feel there should be more parking. The last time I was here, I had to drive out of the plaza, make a detour, and drive back in. Another is that it's located on a corner of two main streets, Valley Blvd and Walnut Grove. It's best to exit on the Walnut Grove side. You may be waiting for a very long time if you try to exit on Valley Blvd. Good luck! Other than my two gripes, it's still a great plaza for dine-in at the restaurants and drink shops.

I've been a non-resident visitor of the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) area for over 40+ years now LOL…read more San Gabriel Square is no stranger to me. This is one of the largest if not the largest shopping center in SGV unless I've missed an even much larger one. Tons of free parking. They have underground parking, too. There is a Tesla charging station area. Just be careful when entering on the side where the Tesla stations are located because it gets really crowded and tight over there. There are 4 floors of businesses. First and second floors are where you'll find most of the restaurants and food/drink shops. Fifth floor only has the Five Star restaurant. Non-food businesses are everywhere else. There are elevators to get to the 2nd floor and upward. Oddly enough, I really don't frequently visit this shopping center, but I have been here primarily for Wushiland Boba, sometimes for 99 Ranch, other times for Vege Valley in the past (they have moved to a new location), and a few times for Five Star restaurant. I was here last weekend for Wushiland of course. I saw a COMING SOON sign with the below biz(es). I may be coming here more often with all the new food/drink joints arriving soon LOL.
