An online dating website or app had a request to describe my personal style. My answer was "John Fogerty shopping at Kohls in the 90s." If I became a zillionaire I wouldn't change much. Yeah, I might book a hotel in Santa Monica instead of the Jolly Roger in Marina del Rey (though it is eminently liveable). And I might plow through the Kohls shirts a bit more recklessly, instead of just waiting for the generous 40% clearance discounts. The place that everyone calls "Newport Mall" is not the perfect candidate for Yelp. Are you deciding between this mall and another? The food court offers several options that are quick and don't have Michelin stars but are more appealing than Chipotle. Dumpling Cafe is my favorite right now. My friends had to hang around JC for several hours while I was working and I told them they were in luck, that just beyond the office buildings was a giant mall. It's not perfect. I was fed up with movie theater talking and figured Babel at 10:40 on a Sunday night wouldn't be bad. Maybe only six people were in the house but half were on phones. But it is convenient, especially on a rainy day. Don't complain to me about the parking price since you can get here by PATH. But, tell you what, if you do wind up spending major $ in the garage, the Dumpling Cafe pork chop bowl is on me. read more

I recently visited Snipes in Newport Centre Mall to buy my son some clothes, and unfortunately had a very bad experience. One of the items we purchased -- a pair of sweatpants -- had a clear factory defect. When my son put them on, one leg was much tighter than the other, making the fit completely uneven. We had removed the tag before noticing the defect, but we still had the tag with us. When I returned to the store to speak with the manager, Vanessa, she was extremely rude and unprofessional. I explained that the issue was a manufacturing defect and that I still had the tag, but she refused to even look at the problem. She told me she "didn't care what was wrong with the pants" and that because the tag was removed, they wouldn't accept a return. She even made a disrespectful comment saying I "popped the tag real ghetto," which was completely unnecessary. We paid good money for these pants, and all I wanted was a fair resolution. Ever since, we've tried contacting Snipes online and through customer service, but all we're getting is the runaround with no real help. I'm posting this review so other customers are aware. Defects happen -- that's understandable. But the way the issue was handled by Vanessa at this location was completely unacceptable. I hope Snipes addresses this, because customers deserve better. read more

Fairly standard Simon mall. Typical mall stores plus a smattering of weird ones. Decent food court, plus some interesting food options scattered around the mall too. Heavy Indian influence. Lots of Kati rolls and dosas. Some good stores to keep kids entertained. J.C. Penney,Macy's, and Kohls. Some pretty good food options located just outside the mall too. Easy to get to by Path train. read more

Newport Centre - Shopping Centers Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I have been an infrequent visitor of Newport mall since 2015. In past decade, the mall has changed significantly for the better. It is so much more brighter and better now compared to 2015. Staff members have done a good job keeping it clean and well maintained. A lot of new and popular brands have opened their store here. It has direct passageway to the Path train station due to which gets a lot of foot traffic. The mall has three floors with top floor having the food court and AMC. The food court has some of the popular chains like Shake Shack, Chic-fil-a, Gong Cha, Panda Express and Sarku. The mall also has a Meet Fresh, Cheesecake Factory, Kura Sushi and Macy's. There are several other apparel, shoes, cosmetic and perfume stores in other two floors. The mall is spacious and open. The parking lots adjacent to the mall are not free. Depending on parking period, the parking cost ranges between $5-$20. We mainly come here when we are in JC and want to stop by Meet Fresh. read more

Hmmm, I actually like this mall! I'm a little surprised by the 3 star rating. I visited for the first time last weekend and I wasn't disappointed. First things first - parking is in a garage. $5 for 0-3 hours and then it goes up in increments. $8 for 3-4, $15 for 4-6, $27 for 6-24. Credit card and Apple/Google Pay are accepted. Not a fan of this money grab... it's the biggest con here. If you don't want to drive, the mall is easily accessible by public transportation. The PATH station and the Hudson-Bergen light rail system are right there. There's three floors of shopping, dining, and entertainment. It's clean, bright, and has large glass skylight ceilings to let natural lighting in. The layout isn't the best and feels like a maze... it's a bit of a headache trying to navigate through because the signage is confusing. There's a good variety of stores - you'll find both big/popular and small brands. Some notable ones are Macy's, JCPenney, Victoria's Secret, Uniqlo, H&M, Kohl's, Primark, Sephora, Pandora, MINISO, Bath & Body Works, Zara, etc. If you're looking for luxury/high-end brands, you won't find too much of that here. I'd say this mall offers more affordable options. I popped into a few stores and the employees were all very friendly. What I'm very impressed by is their food court! It's probably one of the better ones in North Jersey. They have a lot of diverse cuisine options (Indian, Latin, Korean, Japanese, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Caribbean, Chinese, Italian), alongside a mix of popular chains and small businesses. Some of the mainstream ones are Shake Shack, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, Panera, and Popeyes. I've heard concerns about crime and rowdiness, but thankfully I had a positive and peaceful experience here. I saw a decent amount of security around. If I lived in the area, I wouldn't mind having Newport as my go-to mall for my shopping needs. Since it's a little out of the way from where I live, I won't be coming often. read more

Always been a big fan of this mall, but with the recent renovation it has gone to the next level! It's pretty cool that they added a pedestrian bridge, that way you don't have to cross a busy street and the path tracks. I especially love the upgrades to the food court and movie theater. There are so many new and old shops to choose from, all reasonably priced, and very close to the food and hotels. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

I hear a lot of malls have fallen on hard times in the era of Amazon, but this one is still brimming with life. Even during the work week it's well populated. The mall itself is huge with tons of stores. There are also several big box stores attached. Altogether, it's much more convenient than going into New York for any known brand and the selection is arguably better. Finally, the mall proper is architecturally impressive. read more

While the Sears is finally gone, a Primark is coming, and the rest of the mall is still quite lively, with a Uniqlo, Hollisters, a bunch of new shops and jewelry places, some new restaurants, and overall has survived well despite the malls slowly losing major tenants. read more

And add my pictures to my reviews . While I was walking to the upper level Why did the security guard ask me why I'm taking pictures in the mall like I was doing a crime , well excuse me sir I had to explain to him I write reviews on yelp during my free time , he told me there camera everywhere in the mall , I'm like so I don't care , I wasn't doing a crime , its was very awkward, There not a law where you can't take pictures in public places if that case how do you expect social media influences or News broadcaster -Journalist broadcast news , and there not a law where you can't take pictures in public places its 2025 not 1800's , Thank you to Scottish ( U.K.) dude for inventing the Telephone -Alexander Graham Bell , That's gives me privilege to take pictures on my Mobile Telephone , which i pay my Mobile Telephone Bill Every Month ( The security guard got some dam nerves , He must been smelling himself lol ) .Any how that was my awkward -creepy experience visiting this mall . But any how don't let that stop you from visiting this mall by taking pictures lol P.S. its not that far from American Dream Mall ( With upscale boutiques & Saks Fifth Avenue , and indoor Amusement park ) in East Rutherford , New Jersey and the Metlife Stadium ( N.Y.jets/N.Y. gIants football turf ) and Newark Liberty international airport , from driving or taking Uber or Lyft or New Jersey Transit bus or etc ! Very convenient by the njt transportation: N.J. transit Train- Newport Station. Path Train: Grove Street Train station & Newport Train station. NJT bus: 9, 63, 64, 68, 86, 126 ( Easy Access for New Yorkers- N.Y.C residents To get to ) read more

Newport Centre is a solid place for shopping and spending a few hours. There is a good mix of stores, food options, and services, so it is easy to find what you need in one trip. The mall is clean, well organized, and not confusing to navigate. Staff in most stores were polite and helpful. Overall, it feels comfortable, convenient, and well maintained, especially if you want a straightforward shopping experience without stress. read more

This is a decent mall with 3 floors. The first two floors are shops with some restaurants scattered while the third floor has a food court with an AMC. The mall is reasonably well maintained and clean. We frequently go here since we have AMC A-list to watch movies and it's conveniently close. Also, if you're using the PATH, the mall is conveniently across the street. The restaurant selection is OK with the usual fast food offerings in the dining pavilion, cheesecake factory, Kura sushi, Meet Fresh, Panera bread, and so on. Most bases are covered but there isn't any particular standout food venue. Kura sushi is probably the best but it is still a bit overpriced and not the best sushi option. In terms of shops, I don't usually do much in-person shopping but there seemed to be a reasonably good amount of options. There is a decent amount of security at this mall so hopefully they are able to keep the peace and keep everyone safe. read more

We only came here for the cheesecake factory that is clean and don't have sticky floors. The parking for 2 hours will cost you $10. It says that parking is $9 and there is no way you can pay for parking unless you have a smart phone. They charge you a $1.90 for a convenience fee. What a rip off. You're in NJ, you can find another man within 5 minutes of driving. read more

My favorite mall since I was a child. Has a lot of stores quite a varied mall with various stores. Food court is varied as well.

I like going here since there are certain stores that interest me. The value of certain things has gone up and I guess might be worth it. In general if you want to just hang out or spend time doing something I would come here. read more

Newport Centre is a good mall. It is what I would call a middle class mall with stores like Macy's, Uniqlo, Aeropostale and Zara. The food court has the usual fast food options (Panda Express, Chick-Fil-A, Popeyes, etc.) If you want a nicer dining experience, there is a Cheesecake Factory too. The best feature of this mall is the AMC movie theater on the top floor. There are not many movie theaters in this area so it's definitely a useful offering to have around. read more

Very peaceful. The associates are friendly and it is located in a great area for hungry travelers!!!

It's a decent place to go but nothing all that fancy , after Covid their stores started opening later and the vibe in the mall is not the same , but being that is the only mall in the area I guess we don't have much of a choice , store selection is basic .. to the point I'm starting to simply buy my stuff online . read more

It's a decent mall near the light rail and the path and mini stores to pick from if you're living nearby and there's no other major options other than going to Grove Street. You can find many things here, but there are no stores with office supplies, which I learned the hard way when I had to go buy a mouse, and couldn't find any stores here. If you're looking for shoes and a nail salon, all in one place is your place. read more

When I moved into New Jersey back in '89, this was my first mall I visited with friends. I was at the mall last week with my partner in 8 years. The mall seemed different, brighter and nicer than I remember it. Anchored by Macy's, Kohls, JC Penney and a Sears, the mall is large, with two stories of shops and a third, top floor of eateries. The food court on the third floor has a wonderful selection of fast food places. It was nice to see this mall again as one can get here by car, light rail or the PATH train only a few minutes away. read more

I haven't been here for years. Came here for the first time again in maybe a decade. There is a parking lot right by the mall but you need to pay (on weekends, it's $3 for 2 hours. It's not the payment that bother me, it's the security of the lot. As we drove into the lot looking for a spot, we saw a parked Tesla without wheels! The car was propped up and raised up by 4 metal props and all the wheels were gone! read more

Newport Centre is convenient, but that's about where the good things about it end. If you plan on visiting, make sure you go on a weekday vs a weekend for a better experience! I live very close to Newport and if I don't want to have to go into the city for something, I'll usually try and check here first. Their store selection is limited at best, Express, Zara, and Windsor are my go to's. They do have Macys which is good for a wild variety of items but fair warning, this store is typically messy and hard to find an associate in. One glowing review I have for this mall is for the upper floor food court and cinema. They have a ton of different food choices if you're looking for a quick snack and seeing a movie in the theater is more than enjoyable. I love the reclining seats! Also a big fan that the mall has a light rail stop. If you're in a crunch, Newport will probably be able to provide what you need if you're okay with dealing with unorganized stores and throngs of little kids running around. If not, head into the city for nicer options! read more

As a born and raised JC girl, Newport Mall has always been the place to go for everything. I worked there, I shopped there u name it. It's kinda a part of my childhood. Good variety of shops and restaurants with new businesses added recently. It's def become more high end over the years with additions like Micheal Kors and Coach but the old school feel of this mall I don't feel will ever change. My only issue that angers me to no end is the fact u have to pay for parking and the rates go up at the drop of a hat! Unacceptable. The ticket machines barely work and it's hard to get an attendant. Don't spend more that 3 hours or read more

Least favorite Jersey Mall I have ever shopped at. Longtime history of fights, stabbings, shoot outs, car theft and now poor covid precautions. There is a decent (if that) selection of stores to shop for men that include Macys, HM, Zara, G star and a couple more. I usually do not expect much help from the employees staffed at these stores. This is my first visit since the covid era. Signs for all covid precautions are visible but not much enforcement. I ran into a couple of mall hand sanitzer stations that looked dirty and were empty. Several visitors were not wearing their masks properly. I walked out of 2 different shoe stores because employee's were unmasked. Social distancing is not enforced with gatherings of people stagnant and blocking walk ways. I did not see any mall employees sanitizing the common areas or frequently touched hardware such as door handles or escalators. Jersey City residents (with id proof of residency) were previously able to get their parking tickets validated for a discount rate but they have currently made it so difficult to obtain this convenience. The usual mall customer service station is closed with a big sign that says "Guest services has relocated to the management office" (located on another wing of the mall) but when I went to the management office and stood in line for 15 minutes the woman behind the glass window pointed and told me there was a piece of paper (along with many other pieces of paper) taped to a door stating that you must go to the "west garage" then go to "Aisle A3" to get a validation. I did a mini cardio workout just to get a parking ticket validated. I would have more respect for their game if they just canceled the resident validation. This inconvenience was just a huge shady hassle. Typical of this mall! Will I return, probably when I need a quick emergency outfit and I am on a time restraint but I would not recommend. read more

It is an indoor mall that was conveniently located around the corner from our hotel. Since our hotel did not provide shower gel, this mall was home to a Bath & Body Works, where I was able to quickly get in and out and purchase exactly what I needed. Believe me when I tell you there were many people in the lobby of the hotel carrying their blue and white bags and I knew there was one of their stores located in the mall. Was it anything special? Not really. Any unique, cute, little shops? No. Just the basics. Will it work in a pinch? Absolutely. read more

Pros- they finally have a Starbucks and Uniqlo Cons- Dangerous. Just got heckled/berated by a desperate beggar in the food court. Had to call security to escort him out the vicinity. Parking fee machines rarely work. Tips- some people park in shoprite/luxury apartment areas/target parking lot as they're all free and they can just mosey to the mall, lol read more

They can use more stores in the mall. I love the fact Uniqlo Store (if I spelled correctly) I shopped there for many years. I hope it is here to stay. read more

Ah....can't believe I have not put in a review for this mall yet. This was THE MALL back in the early 90's in Jersey City. I remembered coming here all the time with bunch of my high school friends to either catch a movie, shop around, or just a hang out place for kids. Yep, we all go through this stage and Newport Mall was my "go to" spot. With that said, this mall has changed a lot over the years with the store and shops/stands opening and closing. They have also renovated several times throughout the years just to maintain the wear and tear and tried to make Newport Mall to look more modern. The mission is accomplished. The stores, however, has changed. Yes, there's some high end stores but many more teen shopping stores...a phase that adults like myself are no longer interested but hey, I guess there's something for everyone and for every budget, right. The only that never changed since this simon mall had opened is the paid parking lot and it's ever increasing price to park. Regardless of your purchasing of any goods/services at this mall, you'd still have to pay to park here. read more

Newport Mall has improved tremendously over the years. Fifteen years ago, my friend used to call it "the sad mall." It's not so sad anymore. Granted, it's not Westfield Garden State Plaza or the Mall at Short Hills, but it's got some good stores, a decent AMC movie theater, and not-too-shabby food options. During the work week, office workers will go to the food court for lunch. The mall is also conveniently located near both the Light Rail Station and the Pavonia PATH. If you drive there, there is a paid parking deck available. The Sephora and Lush are nice. I also like the Panera Bread for lunch. read more

I have been to this mall quite a few times and it's been an enjoyable experience for the most part. A few times, there have been a few inconsiderate people i.e. those that walk into you or take up the entire walkway. However, the mall is spacious and has tons of different stores. The majority of the stores are clean and organized. I like that they have a Cheesecake Factory, CVS, and a nail salon here. This place is heaven for anyone who likes to shop. read more

Many, many moons ago, Newport Mall was the spot to hang out. My friends and I would go after high school to aimlessly wander around, get full on free samples in the food court (chicken teriyaki!), and watch movies in the movie theater (2 for 1 special anyone??). But fast forward a couple of decades and the mall has largely lost its appeal. For starters, the quality of stores had stagnated and even regressed. Sears is a shell of what it once was. JC Penney is a pseudo Target with higher prices. Only Macy's and Kohls seem to have their acts together. However, for the privilege of visiting these glamorous stores, you're looking at a minimum $3 parking charge in the adjacent garage. And if you're there for more than a couple of hours, the rates quickly skyrocket. They offer a dollar off parking for Jersey City residents, but whereas before you were able to validate your parking ticket in the main level of the mall, you are now forced to drive to the farthest corner of the parking garage to search for a tiny office in order to validate. Feels more like a side quest for a video game and likely will dissuade many people from validating their parking. Newport will always have a special place in my heart, but for movies (assuming I ever go back post covid) I'd stick to Secaucus. For mall shopping I'd recommend either Garden state plaza or Jersey Gardens. Pros: food court - chicken teriyaki, panda express, Popeyes, chick fil a! Cons: the concept of having to pay for the privilege to spend additional money while shopping is something that bothers me to my core. read more

I am a local to the area so i have been going to this mall since i was a little child with my parents. Remember in high school when going to the mall was a hangout spot? Yup, i was there. It was amazing to see the transformation of Newport Mall while growing up as new stores and new remodeling comes in. I feel like Newport Mall is the perfect size and has all the stores i need. When i am in a rush or looking for something specific this is the place to go. It has all my favorite stores like Zara, Call it Spring, Forever 21, Sephora, and H&M. You do have to pay for parking which i really don't like that but if you don't want to pay for parking, It is just walking distant from the light rail and there's busses that leaves you right in front. The food court has a lot of varieties of things and there's also a movie theater up there. read more

can someone explain why they're so adamant about people paying for parking @ the kiosk where you walk to enter and exit the garage when you're able to pay as you're driving out of the garage ? with covid - the machines are the garage walkways should not be in use ! large crowd were forming around them. people sitting on the stairs, not wearing masks. you had to weave closely through people to enter or exit the garage. come on. get with it also - NO ONE IS WEARING MASKS. i won't waste my time uploading the 20 photos taken during my half hour trip today. read more

Newport Centre is a "Simon" branded mall, so they have the Simon wifi signal available. This is useful as there are a few spots in the shopping center that are "dead" spots as far as my 4G signal goes. The mall has all the usual retail outlets that you might expect and the regular anchor stores. Nothing special there. Super huge food court here with at least a dozen different choices. Indian, sushi, Subway, burgers, pizza, chicken, Chinese and more. There are TV's tuned to a music video channel for entertainment. Bonus: It's right across from the Newport PATH station and it also straddles the Bergen Light Rail with a station here. read more

Went to pick up an order I placed at Adidas. I found the mall very busy, with not a lot of social distancing happening. It was my first time inside the mall, and I have not been before the pandemic, but I don't see myself returning any time soon. I was able to find an information board as soon as I walked in and found which shop I wanted to go to immediately, which was a nice bonus. Looking forward to the pandemic calming down, and then will hopefully be able to return and not feel so nervous about the large crowds of people! read more

If you do happen to visit this mall with toddlers or kids , Watch Out! The kids "play area" is tiny and a hazard. The play area is nothing but two platforms on either side of the aisle holding a few car ride ons. What makes this hazardous is the way it has been designed. The platform is elevated and sharp on the edges and inconspicuous. The rise in platform is just not evident. I have seen kids trip on it on multiple occasions and get hurt. I have emailed the mall authorities about the same as well. Would appreciate if other parents reading this review also report the same so that the appropriate action is taken. read more

I usually visit this mall a few times a year only, as it can get overly crowded during the weekend and that is when I've frequented. The last two times I visited I noticed they opened a new eatery and have changed the entrance for the light rail riders from where it used to be. It is the closest mall from where I live with a good amount of familiar stores and the food court is the upper level is not too shabby either as they've changed a few of the vendors throughout the years. There is also an AMC movie theater located on the top floor which is convenient if you're suddenly in the mood to watch a flick after you've shopped till you dropped and stuffed your face with fast food lol. Overall is a convenient place to get to by car, bus, light rail and PATH trains. read more
