I feel sad writing this review, but I felt just as sad on my visit to the Marketplace at Steamtown…read more Years ago, when I line shopping took the world by storm, I remember the malls dying. It was a strange time. Since then, retailers have learned what works in a brick and mortar and what doesn't on. Most shopping centers bounced back, even if it was often with different types of shops. I'm really not sure what is going on here. The food court only had a few options open and so many empty booths. The mall itself was just dead and most of the people I saw coming and going were patrons of the crunch fitness. I thought perhaps it could have been the time of day that I visited, but it was incredibly busy outside, so I doubt it. Being a historic landmark, I really hope they figure out how to reconfigure this mall and increase business soon.

There is plenty of parking with a decent amount of space to move around, and easy to locate the entrances. The mall itself is pretty big, with decent selections of stores to choose from. Most of the stores found are your typical retail stores, as JCPenney is still open and running. I was a bit surprised to see FYE still in operation, which didn't have a big sign indicating it was closing. In the mall's condition, it is nowhere close to becoming a dead mall anytime soon. The only thing I found a bit of a surprise is, that the food court is tiny not providing a lot of services. That also includes limited tables which is another spark. Who knows if it downsized over time or not. The only store that's connected, but isn't accessible to the mall hallway is Home Goods. With that, Viewmont has it all.

It's one of the better local malls in the area. Though, their food court leaves much to be desired. The bathrooms were...not the best in cleanliness when I visited. Their Forever 21 was really nice, though. I also like the teeny tiny corner Claire's.

The Boss store, Coach, and Jockey were a few of the better stores we were interested in. We noticed that a lot of the stores had overly pricey items to be an outlet. I did notice they had several food trucks and a food court. Wasn't interested in either. Maybe I'm comparing this center to ones closer to my home, but I wouldn't make it a priority to stop by again.

With few establishments open due to COVID, I noticed a few spots inside this food court (including chinese, italian, coffee, and a mediterranean spot). My sight was set on "pita fresh," a spot run by an older gentlemen who clearly works hard to make you happy. Offering to place any toppings onto my salad without incurring an additional charge, he created my salad essentially from scratch - using an unopened bag of lettuce, hand slicing fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and pickles. He placed a good amount of dressing and in the end, my salad felt priceless. Extremely fresh, hearty, and tasty despite feeling like I'm 'in the middle of nowhere' (I'm living in the New York City folks and I deserve to be judged). It's amazing this place does not have more reviews. The place is clean, safe, spacious and well equipped to handle a range of food tastes from Chinese to Italian to mediterranean. On top of all this - their coffee shop (called "Crepe Soleil") offers an abundance of coffee flavors including salted caramel and toasted marshmallow. A+, don't miss this place whether you're in-town for the skiing or shopping.

Walk around and saw a couple of food trucks. There was a seafood truck was able to enjoy some fresh fish and shrimps with chips, very good. Happily spent another $30 but it was worth every penny.

The weekday dinner had lobsters and the weekend lunch had crayfish. We enjoyed all the food and the waitstaff was very attentive, they made quick rounds to collect plates and refill sodas. There is a lot of variety in the selections and they're all pretty tasty. Their sushi was good, we really it. The only thing I did not like was the wasabi, it looked neon green, the color of slimer from ghostbusters... it was looking too artificial. Their dessert/fruit table also has a wide selection and we had no issues whatsoever. The ice cream machine was kind of slow, I saw a lot of people had difficulty with the chocolate side of the machine. This is a great option to have out in the Poconos. We will alway return.

There is a nice fountain in front for ambiance. Some of the food was mislabeled or had no signage. There was some sushi which was fine, but no hibachi option. It was nice to have fruit options with dessert. There was a variety of meats, noodles, and soups. There wasn't a ton of variety, but it'll do the trick. Neither of us felt great after, but I can't tell if it's the quantity or quantity. The prices are a little cheaper during the week and during lunch where there is one flat rate on Sunday, so if you're going on one of those days, it may feel like better bang for your buck.

I stopped at Lehigh Valley to kill time and explore the mall. From the way it looks, it's not a…read moredead mall but one that is on the borderline of being an active and/or a dying mall. This is one of the biggest malls in Eastern Pennsylvania, covering mainly Northampton, Monroe, and Lehigh Valley County. With that, this mall can be busy. Overall, the hallways look clean and tip-top, nicely lit, and well cared for. The crew works hard to keep the mall in great shape. The selections I find here are typical; many general stores ring a bell, and some you may not find, such as Boscov's. Overall, I'm impressed with what's offered at Lehigh Valley Mall. Will I be back again? When I drive by in the area and have time.

The layout feels dated, and the energy inside just isn't there. A few decent stores keep it afloat, but it's mostly uninspiring, with a lot of empty or repetitive spots. It's not terrible, but it doesn't live up to the hype or to what you'd expect from a regional shopping hub. If you're in the area, it's fine for a quick visit, but definitely don't go out of your way thinking this is some kind of retail destination.

The mall is fairly big, with two floors, carrying a lot of familiar brand stores, and even ones that I'm sure some have never heard of. The interior has a modern look, which I'm sure had its renovation done a couple or several years back, but adds up looking clean and nice. It's in no condition of being a dead mall, despite there being a couple of closed stores, specifically anchor stores that don't exist anymore (pretty much all malls these days). The food court has a number to offer, with some of its usual eateries and a couple of ones that will blow your mind. Plenty of tables are provided to fit many people. For restaurants, there are Red Robin, The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's, Muldoon's Steakhouse & Pub, and Chipotle Mexican Grill. I wouldn't mind coming back to this mall, but won't be anytime soon due to how far I am.

If you enjoy eating at the Cheesecake Factory or Chili's or Olive Garden you will be very happy eating food from Wonder. It is a solid food experience. (Although I did not care for the escarole&artichoke. Woefully under-seasoned. The good thing about Wonderful is that they offer food from a "variety" of "different" "celebrity" restaurants. So if you want tacos and your wife wants Greek food or pizza, this is a good one stop one delivery charge. And another good thing is a wide variety of beverages and desserts and a children's menu. The truth of the matter is that they approached a bunch of famous chefs and licensed their names and then they dumbed down their menu so that they could make it fast and easy with competent kitchen staff as opposed to trained culinary professionals. I ordered the DiFara pizza. I have been to DiFara's pizza when the original guy was still alive trimming the basil from the plants on his window sill. This was not a DiFara pizza. As I type this that man is not just turning over in his grave he is whirling like a dervish. They were nice enough to include the instructions on the pizza box. It starts with 1 square pie shell. I don't think they use frozen pie shells at DiFaras. If you bought Air Jordans and thought you would play basketball like Micheal Jordan you are in for another disappointing experience. If you want a variety of decent food, competently prepared? Have at it.

This time I ordered all chicken except for the momo because to be honest, I hate fatty pork. Ordered chicken choila and sekwa, chili chicken, and pork chili momo. I asked for no onions on every line and Nepali actually listened. It took some time for the restaurant to get the food to the driver, so makes me think everything was prepared fresh. Everything tasted great, spicy but not face melting spicy. It was easy to pick up some cilantro and cumin notes, as well as other spices I unfortunately cannot name. The only down side was the momo was a bit soggy but the taste was really good. I'll definitely order again from Nepali or actually shop at the store for unique ingredients.

Parking is very limited and we nearly got t-boned pulling in, but people never esteem those things that come easily. There weren't any beverages on the menu, but there is an impressive array of soft drinks available to buy in the store, and a moderately well-stocked bar. The menu is limited but it all sounded good. We each ordered a soup, and we tried to order three sides to share, but they only had one available- the chat patey, so we got that. It turns out to be a sort of spiced crispy puffed rice dish with little bits of pickled carrot and pepper. I could have eaten the whole thing myself, but I was afraid that my family might never forgive me. The Kid also ordered the pork shekuwa ($10.99) which is a kind of seasoned grilled pork cubes with vegetables- think kebab without a stick. It was delicious- the pork was juicy and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The Kid and I both ordered the pork jhol momo - a spicy broth filled with pork dumplings ($11.99 each). My Bride got the chicken jhol momo ($11.99), which was just as delicious but I found it a touch less spicy. The dumplings (momo) are apparently a popular street food in Nepal. With tax, but before tip, this delicious and sinus-fixing feast for the senses came to $55. Worth every penny. TL;DR - the parking sucks but the food more than repays the effort. Highly recommended.
