Before it used to be kinda empty after Lido Supermarket left....however in 2005 when 99 Ranch Market moved in things started looking better for this shopping center, more stores, shops, and restaurants! Now it's a thriving Asian shopping center! Here is a list of the general big retail stores and restaurants: 99 Ranch Market Lido Saigon Seafood Harbor Restaurant Little Sichuan Restaurant 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe Newark Buffet East West Bank Dollar Tree Wendy's Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits Big O Tires The other side of the shopping center consists of some of following Restaurants and Stores: Fitness 2000 & Kids Castle Chevron Gas Station Del Taco Quiznos CoCurry Thai Cuisine Kioku Sushi Iron Sushi Newark Good Year Tire Center Bank of the West Parking: Parking here at this shopping center can be a HASSLE especially on the weekends due to soo many different restaurants & shops, 99 Ranch Market, Dollar Tree and now the newly opened 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe. I recommend parking on the opposite side of the shopping center, by Fitness 2000 and Kids Castle and walking towards the 99 Ranch Market area because it will be EXTREMELY difficult to find parking near that side on the weekends, weekdays however you should be fine. ** However, please be aware and do NOT park your car in the Wendy's or Popeye's parking lot, your car is subjected to be TOWED unless of course, your dinning at Wendy's or Popeye's. So if your shopping at 99 Ranch Market or 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe, do NOT park in the Wendy's or Popeye's lot!** Shopping Carts: Both Dollar Tree and 99 Ranch Market have shopping carts for customers to use during their trip to the store, so you can be sure to find plenty of shopping carts throughout the shopping center parking lots. Overall, it's a pretty big and decent thriving Asian shopping center that is now full of businesses after 99 Ranch Market moved on in!

You cannot afford to be obese after dining in any Chinese restaurant in every corner. I will never forget how difficult it was to park after I got my drivers license a decade ago. Even crooked parkers will give you a hard time. The best places to visit are the supermarket (gone as of this year), Hong Kong Chef, Yokee Milk Tea, BoDo Lucky ramen, and bakery. I never want to come back to this plaza in my car; I prefer to go to the next plaza where 99 Ranch Market is located and walk my butt from there.
