    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 work like 10 minutes away from Irvine Spectrum. I avoid going here unless I absolutely *need* to…read more For me it's just way too overwhelming. All of the times I have came here though to shop and whatnot, I've always had a pleasant experience. They carry a variety of great restaurants and shops. There's always ample parking everywhere but can be overwhelming. Pet friendly! Well, I really came here to say is I'm so excited that Olive Young will be arriving here and that it will house its first Orange County location!

    Stopped by here since we needed a place to chill for a bit, and overall, it's a nice, quiet mall…read more It's certainly not dead, but I wouldn't say it was packed either, which was nice. There are some decent food options, and it's a pretty reasonable size, so it's easy to walk around without feeling overwhelmed. I'd definitely come back here again when I'm in the area.

    Reading my previous review, the first thing that comes to mind is "wow, what happened?!" How did I…read morepossibly describe this mall as a "gem of a shopping center?" A more accurate description would be "the-mall-that-accepts-anyone-as-a-tenant." I'm pretty sure the beauty supply store is a front for a money laundering operation (they are never, ever open), most of the other stores don't stay open until 8pm (and I'm not talking about just the watch/jewelry stores), and there are just a handful of random, funky places in here. All that aside - I don't really come here to "shop" - but it's a great place to mall walk. It's here that I learned mall walking was a real thing. Weekday mornings, you'll see a fair amount of retirees walking the mall, many before it opens. Not going to lie: my husband and I have turned into evening mall walkers. So, thanks, Mission Viejo for giving us a place to walk.. but not necessarily shop. I really think the leasing department needs to look at what would do well with the community, not just be desperate and sign anyone. Look at how other centers are thriving. 2026: 52/100

    Located within the Kaleidoscope Center, this place has so much potential. I came here with friends…read moreon a Saturday evening, and this area had a lively atmosphere happening. The selection of little shops, some were open and some were closed, are so cute. The shops that were open, looked inviting and friendly. The prices on items were somewhat reasonable. During the day, depending upon which day, this place can seem dead or bleak. I don't know how some businesses survive here. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. As much as I want to love the Kaleidoscope, I really liked Union Market, and I would return to this spot, just for the adorable small businesses located inside. The Kaleidoscope, itself, is really run down and disappointing. Please read my separate review on my opinion of Kaleidoscope. If you ever consider going here, most definitely head to Union Market. Enjoy!!!

    I was really surprised to come to Union Market around 6pm and see how empty it was. It was…read moredisappointing to see there were only 2 restaurants open, and one of them you had to ring a bell for the people to even greet you. This space is huge and really cool with a lot of artwork on the walls. There's great potential, but I think malls are a dying breed since covid. This spot has a couple really cool retail stores, including candle making and events with crafts. They also have a good sized bar, hangout areas, foosball, corn hole and more! They even have live music! It was just so sad to see how empty it was and how many businesses have shut down. I'm thinking this space is probably used more for private events.

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.

    It used to be a parking struggle on weekend nights cuz of the lounge on the corner buttt the…read moreparking situation is worse. 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!
