Finally 2 new restaurants, Ding Tai Fung, North Italia were opened. Today we tried to eat lunch at North Italia. Great restaurant! Better than Cerritos location. After lunch, we stopped by Tesla, Rivian, Lululemon, Zara, and Alo. Finally all my fave stores are opened as well as restaurants. Easy shopping in the contemporary vibes, added new kid's playground, I don't need to drive all the way South Coast Plaza anymore. Parking is easy, close from home, I felt sooo happy to come to Brea Mall.

I also love seeing the newer stores being added because it gives the mall a fresh feel and brings in more people and different types of businesses. *Din Tai Fung *Phillz Coffee *Pottery Barn and more coming! What I appreciate most is how versatile the mall is. There's something for everyone in its choices whether you're coming to shop, grab something to eat, run errands, or just spend some time out. It has a welcoming atmosphere and feels like a place that can appeal to all different ages and interests. It's nice to see a shopping center continuing to grow while still keeping things clean, convenient, and enjoyable. Everyone is so kind here, so they get a good service score overall from me! In every store I have visited so far, I have noticed that the price range varies $-$$$ so it is accessible to all! Definitely a mall I'll continue coming back to!

It's a decent size mall. I stopped by to pick up something last minute which they had. I've never…read morebeen here so it was something new. Parking situation was great as there was load. I ended up walking in where the food court was. Just from the looks of it, your basic mall food vendors. Don't know if that's the only section that offer food or if they have more at another location in the mall. Walking through when they just opened, it's your basic mall. I didn't really check out the whole place as I just needed to pick something up. They did have a lot of stores which I have never heard of. Honestly don't even know what department stores were on the property. Just from this visit, it was decent.

Not so crowded, more aesthetically pleasing, and just an overall better experience compared to when it was a mall. The shopping here is pretty good. JC Penney, Kohls, and Target always have great deals and are rarely super crowded except for holidays. I don't really like the Sears here-- it's always hot and smells bad in there, finding an associate to help me is near impossible, and customer service is eh. The food selection here is great!! They have all my favorite fast food restaurants and Panera is great. The Pizza Studio place is a personal favorite. However, I just heard that they're putting an Old Navy or Gap in the town center.....eh

It will always be the Whittwood Mall to me. I grew up with this mall, almost literally. It was…read moreconstructed in 1961, but my family moved to Whittier right before I was born, and my late paternal grandmother used to always tell the story of taking me in the stroller near the mall as they enclosed it in 1977 or 1978, and infant/toddler John S. used to imitate the hammering and other construction sounds, and he associated those sounds with being in a stroller with his grandmother. It's still hanging on, somehow. I don't know how much longer JCPenney ("Penney's," as we call it) will last, my mother's best efforts to keep it financially afloat notwithstanding. The Sears will almost surely close within the year, but that's all right, because I still and always will associate that building with The Broadway (RIP). And some of my earliest memories were created at this mall. Because the Penney's and Broadway shoe departments looked similar, I used to think they were the same place when I was four or so. I distinctly remember the shock and then gradual understanding of how two different places could look so similar but actually be different. I also memorized my phone number (my parents still have it, two area-code changes later) while walking from our parked car to Penney's: "2-1-3, 9-4-7 . . . ." I really miss the enclosed mall. Not because it was unique in any particular way, but there were all these small details that only I and a few other people of my generation remember. Like those wooden animals that were a poor substitute for a play structure in the center of the mall, and the huge-huge-huge diameter metal pipe that encircled those animals but that wasn't an actual fence, as children could squeeze under it easily. And the weird lower level of the seating for the pathetic-but-delicious food court. And the arcade! This review is now completely sopped in my memories, so I'll tell you more. There used to be a focus-group company that would try to get people to sign up for surveys while you walked. I went to one with my (older) sister, when she was a teenager and I was maybe 8 or 9. We saw mock-ups of a commercial for milk that eventually became a real live-action-and-animation commercial. That was so cool! And Miller's Outpost (RIP) and Stride Rite (RIP), and the Gap before it turned into a horrible sweatshop company and the actual phone store with all the crazy phone options and Boston Store (RIP) where I got lost for the first and scariest time as a child and Conlon Bros. (RIP) and Sav-on in the mall before it became Osco and then Jewel-Osco and then back to Sav-on before CVS bought it. Sav-on used to have ice cream like Thrifty, and the same oldish woman with the denim smock and longish, graying braids would be working most of the time. And that mysterious but comforting women's store with the fake spooky gas lamps that flickered on either side of the storefront. I also miss Farrell's (RIP) and its arcade where my siblings set high scores on Centipede. And the original theater (RIP) and the replacement theater (RIP), where I got good at the TMNT and The Simpsons video games in 7th and 8th grades. I even miss the tire store and Jewlecor (RIP) and the janky but massive Crown Books (RIP) that replaced the B. Dalton (RIP) on the opposite side of the mall. Another formative memory was walking west in the mall with my mother in the mall building on August 30, 1985. We were right near the wooden animals I described earlier, and some announcement came over the loudspeakers. I couldn't make it out, but suddenly, everyone around us was jumping and cheering and smiling and clapping as if the Rams had just won the Super Bowl. I asked my mom what happened, and she said that they had caught Richard Ramirez, the serial killer known as the Night Stalker who had terrorized Southern California for months and who had also killed the neighbor who shared a backyard fence with my cousins (I didn't know this at the time). I learned how to drive in its massive parking lot, including the ridiculous ramp up to the bank (now Bank of America). There's also a separate ramp down from the bank. The first ramp is hard to get to now that Chick-fil-A and its complicated drive-thru line are right next to it, but try it anyway! Not to mention those weird covered parking spots underneath the bank. (Can you believe the parking lot used to fill up so much that we used to actually need to park that far?) I know I had long eyelashes as a child because the furniture store (kind of like a proto-Pier 1) where Buffalo Wild Wings is now used to have a cashier who always used to tell five-year-old me that I could sweep the floors with my eyelashes. I hate the Target and PetSmart and the huge parking area in front of them, because that was where most of the mall was. It ran east-west from Penney's to Sear, with that slight "L" added later to connect Mervyn's (RIP), now Kohl's. I also miss Dandy Donuts (RIP) and the weird laundromat. Sorry.

I really come to the Citadel outlet, but when I am in the area, I try to come by and go to the…read morestores. This outlet actually has improved in my opinion and has really good stores with great deals. It is somewhat smaller than other outlets, but they do have all the popular stores that everyone knows about. I went into Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, and under Armour. They had really good prices and really nice things that actually I couldn't believe were on sale now. I do like that. It's easy to find the stores and you don't get lost like other outlets it's easy to park and they have a nice food court with variety. I do recommend here if you want to shop or grab a bite to eat or if you're in the area, they do have decent prices and good quality clothing with good name brand stores. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area again. -Marshay D.

I have been to Citadel Outlets probably like 30 years ago…read more My friend was visiting from Tampa, Florida and staying at the Double Tree Hilton, which is inside Citadel. When I found out, I said I am going to go and see her. I am glad that I did, and we were happy to see each other. So today practically all day, we spent some time together at this lovely, clean mall that is surrounded by so many great stores and eateries. There are probably over 130 stores and places to eat inside and outside the mall. Let me not forget to tell you, some of the restrooms that we used were SPOTLESS CLEAN!!! They have different stores such as Disney, Nike Factory Store, Coach, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Michael Kors, Guess, BOSS Outlet, Beauty and Specialty Stores, Tommy Hilfiger (one of my favorite designers & brands). Converse Factory Outlet, & Gap. Just to name a few. They have vending machines available with snacks and drinks. Also, a lot of nice restaurants nearby. Free parking and close to the I-5 freeway. We went to Gap and Converse, and I bought me 2 pairs of tennis shoes. Get one, and the other one was 50% off. Fantastic deal. From Gap, I got a nice, long, black jacket. Thin material and very comfortable. They also had clean dressing rooms at Gap. Every item has its own value and price. Both stores that we went to had great employees who were eager to help us. Customer service was above and beyond our expectations. We even had lunch at Panda Express. The list can go on and on and on. It has been like 7 years I haven't seen my friend. She used to live here, we used to work together, and then she relocated back to Florida to help her parents. It was a great outing, the only thing was that there was construction going on around the mall. Maybe they are building more businesses? Thank you all for everything. Always be & stay consistent!!

Plus a Crocs with a huge selection of charms and themed shoes inspired by movies and popular culture. The other department store is Macy's, a more upscale looking one. The Nordstrom jewelry salespeople do a great job of continuing to chat in a large group as customers shop. The handbag associate on the other hand was excellent and helpful. I also was surprised to see Aeropostale and Cotton On. I thought the former had gone out of business. My only complaint is the food court. Why is it tucked away in a corner down a separate wing? And I wish the crepe place also made savory ones.

Some areas it's park at your own risk. Parking at the BofA and by the 99 Cent Store can be pretty hectic, so be careful and mind your own!

I came right when they opened on a weekday, so I was able to avoid the weekend crowds…read more Since I came early, I was also able to find parking inside the free parking garage, which was amazing since I came in the middle of a heatwave and having my car in the shade meant it wasn't cooking in the sun while I was inside the mall. I was a little confused because I took an elevator which spat me outside when I thought this was an indoor mall. It turns out that some stores are outside, while the majority are inside. If you're looking for somewhere to go in the middle of a heatwave in LA, this place has amazing AC. At one point I was even rubbing my arms because it was so cold inside. I'm a sucker for anything cute, so I was glad there were so many Japanese stores that reminded me of my trip to Tokyo. A couple of the stores even had the rows of vending machines that drop out capsules with various items inside. It was disappointing to see one of the stores had a broken token machine, so you couldn't use the vending machines even if you wanted to. Both the stores and restaurants are a mix of reasonably priced to expensive. If you go to one of the actual restaurants instead of one of the fast food places at the food court, I'd recommend making reservations since the one I went to is notorious for having long lines. Both at the store and the restaurant I went to, the employees greeted me and were friendly, asking if I'd want any help or letting me know about discounts they had that day. All malls are pretty much the same, so I wouldn't go out of my way just to visit this one, but if you're in the area, need somewhere to hide from the heat, the free AC and parking here are definitely a draw.

While walking the place, I found they had so many other Asian brand stores like Miniso, Meet Fresh, Uniqlo and Kinokuniya bookstore. But most surprising of all was finding a whole 99 Ranch inside the mall. After dinner, we did some shopping here. Later at night, I came back here to play some games in Dave & Buster's. But the signs can improve a bit for better direction. I was so confused how to get to the parking near D&B entrance. Also, the parking garage seemed under maintained. But overall a really great place for both locals and tourists.

The variety of dining options is my favorite thing about this mall.

Throughout the mall there are plenty of drink spots and dessert cafés. I honestly haven't even had the chance to try every restaurant yet because there are so many options. Beyond the food, I also enjoy browsing the small independent shops throughout the mall. There are many Korean beauty stores, home goods, K-pop merch, clothing boutiques, and other unique stores that are fun to explore.
