    4 years since my last review, so time for an upgrade! For me, the Irvine Spectrum is a planned trip…read moreas it's about a 30-minute drive each way. The important thing to know is that if you come during the holidays or on a weekend, it will be busy. The good thing is, as long as you don't mind parking on the very upper levels and walking a bit, I've always been able to find parking. But if you don't like walking at all, this probably isn't the center for you, and there's a lot of walking if you want to explore everything! What I love about this center is that you have everything from Nordstrom to Target, literally! You can find some very unique restaurants, along with typical chains, so there's something for everyone. We'll occasionally see a movie here as well, but that's another review. What impresses me the most is how well-maintained and clean everything is. Even the elevators in the parking garages are graffiti-free, which is very unusual. Now, not all the locations have maintained their interiors as well, but that's on them and not the Irvine Spectrum. My favorite time to come is still in December. We've always found the night atmosphere to have a lot of great energy. And yes, there are a lot of teens who hang around and have loud fun; they're harmless and add to the energy.

    I was honestly shocked by what we found at the Target at Irvine Spectrum. Irvine is known as a…read morebeautiful, clean, upscale community, so seeing a refrigerated food section in this condition was extremely disappointing. Take a look at the photos. There is a significant buildup of dust, dirt, hair/lint and debris along the refrigerator case, shelves, vents and edges--right next to food that customers are expected to purchase and take home to their families. Some areas look like they have not been thoroughly cleaned in a very long time. This isn't a small spill that happened five minutes ago. The amount of accumulated dirt visible in these pictures raises serious questions about how frequently these refrigerated cases are being inspected and deep-cleaned. Target is a major national retailer, and customers should be able to expect a clean and sanitary environment, especially anywhere food is stored and displayed. I'm posting these photos because management needs to see the condition customers are seeing. I hope Target takes this seriously, inspects the entire refrigerated-food area, cleans it properly, and makes sure it is maintained going forward.

    This is one of my favorite outdoor malls in the Orange County area for mall walking. As it is…read morelocated near the beach, the weather is always nice and there are plenty of places to sit and rest your feet at this mall with a nice view of the beach. The mall does tend towards high end stores with a small smattering of standard stores but in general, there are a wide variety of stores. Plenty of dining options from high end or quick casual. You can even do your grocery shopping here as there is a Whole Foods market. They occasionally have special events. I happened to be here during the Lunar New Year event so one of the areas was decked out with Year of the Horse decorations. I also always walk by the Koi pond to see how the fishes are doing. Staff has always been friendly and helpful when I visit.

    Fashion Island is in a great location and the property itself is really big and nice to walk…read morearound, but the actual retail selection leaves a lot to be desired. The Shopping & Entertainment: The Stores: Most of the shops just aren't stores that everyday consumers actually want. It's mostly filled with weird, random boutique stores that no one has ever heard of, charging ridiculous prices like $300 for a single t-shirt. No Movie Theater: For a mall of this size, it's pretty disappointing that they don't even have a movie theater to catch a film. The Silver Lining: Parking: The only consistently good thing about this mall is the parking situation. No matter when you visit, there always seems to be plenty of parking available. Final Verdict: It's a beautiful outdoor space to stroll through, but as a practical place to shop or find entertainment, it's just not the best.

We didn't make it into every store, (the japanese bakery line was so long), but just the grounds of this little outdoor mall itself was enough.

They used to take up the north section, and the main 3 rows was a CAMPtrain of cars. Now they moved to the back row and kept some of the north end. 1030, half the shops havent opened yet and already cars CAMPing for spots just destroys the whole chill vibe this place used to have. I really dont understand this valet, i literally could park it myself same distance next row over, and hes not like space saving parking the cars like ud see at high end restaurants with small lots so.....besides milking a frustrating situation, have a fun weekend! They could probably raise the price to like $20 and people would still be forced to cough up to park, theres just not enough spots and not even half the potential shops are even running. It would make sense if the camp bought like an off site additional lot for overflow and the valet would bring your car to the kiosk. Still sad the blackwater bakery snuffed out, i liked their very rounded top loaves. But now theres a new bakery? whys it named 1954 bakery & cafe? it wasnt here in 1954 for sure. oh yay its 11, ima go get me brunch now. toodaloo!

I enjoy walking around the plaza with lots options to choose from. Each person and get food to go and all sit outside the table. Good value.

    tl,dr: horrendous shopping area. but good restaurants…read more Likes: + This Shopping Center houses an awesome selection of restaurants like Pepper Lunch, Coco Ichibanya, and MeetFresh. Non-likes: - This large shopping center has only 3 entrances/exits, 2 of which are tucked away. So if you're looking to dine somewhere deep in like at Pepper Lunch, you have to navigate through abundant pedestrian and car traffic to find parking first. The floor plan designers should've included 1 or 2 more exits closer to the Alton Pkwy & Jamboree Rd intersection. - And parking is often horrendous throughout the whole day. From lunch hour to dinner hour, parking is almost always packed. You can expect to spend up to 10min seeking parking during the worst hours of the day. Even the parking structure in the back isn't sufficient during rush hour. - The back alley that passes by the church is riddled with horrendous, tall speed bumps. Awful on your car's suspension. They need to smooth out those speed bumps. Better yet, remove them entirely. They're not needed. - Also, many entitled drivers in the parking lot. For example, when they're at a stop sign and you're driving through the intersection because you don't have a stop sign, they jut out and almost collide with you. And if you honk, both the driver and the passenger in the other car will freak out and make a face at you as if YOU'RE the weird one. It may be worth the investment and mental peace to seek lunch elsewhere. - The center parking spots of the parking structure smelled like old urine. Parking there is a lil secluded, but boy does it reek.
