They have been doing lots of improvements on the property and new tenants into the space. I've visited several new shops in the mall. Going to Round1 and Chagee to speak of a few new locations. They also hosted several community events to bring more traffic to the space.

There aren't many indoor malls in the OC area so I decided to check out The Shops. The mall is…read morehidden away from view from the Main Street but parking is relatively easy to find. The mall reminds me of the malls from the 80s except a lot more run down. It was fairly empty for a Saturday which is when I would expect to see the most people. A lot of nostalgic stores were there including a Spencers. There was a decent selection of stores from high end to normal. Majority of stores were on the normal side. The food court was a good size with a large selection. It is large and spacious with plenty of room to go mall walking on those really hot days!

The selection of little shops, some were open and some were closed, are so cute. The shops that were open, looked inviting and friendly. The prices on items were somewhat reasonable. During the day, depending upon which day, this place can seem dead or bleak. I don't know how some businesses survive here. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. As much as I want to love the Kaleidoscope, I really liked Union Market, and I would return to this spot, just for the adorable small businesses located inside. The Kaleidoscope, itself, is really run down and disappointing. Please read my separate review on my opinion of Kaleidoscope. If you ever consider going here, most definitely head to Union Market. Enjoy!!!

I was really surprised to come to Union Market around 6pm and see how empty it was. It was…read moredisappointing to see there were only 2 restaurants open, and one of them you had to ring a bell for the people to even greet you. This space is huge and really cool with a lot of artwork on the walls. There's great potential, but I think malls are a dying breed since covid. This spot has a couple really cool retail stores, including candle making and events with crafts. They also have a good sized bar, hangout areas, foosball, corn hole and more! They even have live music! It was just so sad to see how empty it was and how many businesses have shut down. I'm thinking this space is probably used more for private events.

I like the nectar juice bar because they always have good healthy drinks to take in midday. They have a very nice fire pit outside that you can sit outside after dinner and eat your ice cream around a warm fireplace.

Great service.

I can't believe I didn't leave a review for these guys! Well here it is!…read more It's been a year since we had them out to install gates for the house. The proposal process was SUPER easy- everything was done through email and the office person is so fast with responses! They actually had a project nearby so they scheduled a time to come over to actually take a look as the area by the stairs in our house is a bit funky but they were able to come through and make the space work and it looks nice! They give you the option of black or white and another nice feature of these gates is that they swing shut. Meaning when you open the gates to get through you don't have to close it behind you as the gate will swing shut automatically. Really smart design. Great service and product all around! Highly recommend!

I believe the movie theater is still operational. The escalators within the parking structure work but the escalators within the mall do not. I would suggest to park on the level you're wanting to visit if you want to shave some time off climbing stairs. I think there's a time limit on the parking but not sure if it's enforced. Plenty of parking and they have charging stations for your EV. If there was more shade, I'd come back to eat or drink outside. You could probably get some good steps without having a crowd; plus you could take the non-working escalators for your stairs/climbing exercise. Their website is officially expired. At the time of my visit, I didn't see any security walking around.

I found them through yelp and was glad I did. I showed up as a walk in (assuming that I may not get much one on one help especially if they had previous appointments or other things going on) so I was ready for a quick glance around and introduction to see what they had available, but they took me in and Kathy sat down with me for almost an hour or so! She had another appointment scheduled while I was there but her husband came through and took the appointment couple while she stayed helping me. I felt very taken care of. They even offered me a drink while I was there! I needed help with taking old diamonds from my future in-laws old wedding rings and creating a customs ring to include the diamonds. Kathy was very informative and experienced in what looks good, why specific designs are created in those ways, and asking the right questions to help me (a very uninformed novice to jewelry) find what I wanted in creating such a special piece. We ended up with a custom made ring inspired by another design and the turn around from placing the order to receiving the ring was not long at all! They even worked hard to help me get the ring before the day that I was planning to propose. Which was a huge stress relief! Even after the proposal, we were able to take the ring back in and have it resized (we got it a tad too big....oops!). After the resize you can't even tell that it was cut and reattached to make smaller. Kathy also sat with us to talk about wedding band options, helping us think about what look/type of ring we'd want. Pulido Jewelry created a beautiful and sentimental piece that will last forever. I can't thank them enough for the time, care, attention to detail, and warm welcome in helping us throughout the process. They are amazing. Go to them ASAP! She even mentioned they can work on any other family heirlooms we may have. Definitely will return for our next fine jewelry in the future. Thank you Pulido Jewelry!!

Excellent service and quality. I wouldn't trust my jewelry with anyone other than Pulido Jewelers!read more
