Huge super malls like this are becoming more and more rare…read more This one is massive - with about 4 floors and dozens of stores. It's impressive to see and walk around in and has almost every store and type of food you could want. I enjoyed Nordstrom, Dumplings, Ice Cream, White House Black Market, Macy's, Lululemon, etc. etc. They have all the usual chains (Victoria's Secret....) but some other boutique stores as well. Huge food court on the lowest level and a private entrance into the Ritz Carlton which is attached to the building. Super convenient if you are staying at the hotel, as I did, and I was here every day to people watch, get snacks, or just to walk the levels and get some exercise.

No public transportation nearby, but luckily they still got an easy to find address 1201 S. Joyce St (Google Map, Uber, etc don't direct you to some wrong, mistaken side or back entrance). We came here for the Asian Night Market event on a crisp but warm fall Saturday. Pretty nicely set up with Asian lute / plucked zither / drums. There were five stalls (run by some famous chefs!). The food wasn't really street food / finger food style. Vermicelli noodle for example, isn't really conducive to eating while walking around (in a bowl). The plaza has artificial lawns and nice wide loungers all over. The drawback is that there wasn't any public restroom (at least I didn't find any). That's unacceptable for such a public plaza that hosts festivals often. Sure there are toilets inside restaurants, cafes, and businesses around the plaza but one shouldn't be forced to go into one of them and beg.

Your normal Nordstrom Rack store, full of luxury items priced at non-luxury numbers. I can also see, because of that, why the line was as long as it was. I was also torn between giving 5 and 4 stars but opted on 5 after the staff was not only engaged with who was checking out, but additional staff was on the salesfloor assisting with either that or restocking in between.

This was a poor customer experience…read more I purchased a suit and returned it. At the register, the cashier(Lynne) admitted that she did not scan the jacket during the original purchase. That error is the reason the jacket was not on the receipt. Instead of correcting the situation, the store refunded only the pants, kept both items, and sent me out with nothing. At no point was I given a clear option before the transaction was processed. I spoke with the store manager, Alexandra, who repeated policy but did not take ownership of the fact that this situation was caused by a cashier error. I am not asking for anything free. I am expecting a reasonable resolution when a store makes a mistake. Leaving with no merchandise and no solution is not acceptable.

I usually prefer TJ Maxx over Marshalls, so it pains me a little to say this, but the TJ Maxx in…read morethe Pentagon City area has been pretty underwhelming compared to the nearby Marshalls. Since I now work in Arlington, I visit both stores often, hoping to score the kinds of finds TJ Maxx is usually known for. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck at this location. I still pop in from time to time out of habit and optimism, but more often than not, I leave empty-handed. Selection & Finds: The selection here feels hit or miss, leaning more toward miss lately. There's a sign for a "luxury" section, which initially caught my attention, but the items there tend to lack the quality you'd expect from something labeled luxury. It feels more like a concept than a well-executed section, which is disappointing when you're hoping to discover standout pieces. Store Experience: One of the biggest challenges with this location is how messy it can be. Racks often feel overcrowded, and items are frequently out of place, which makes browsing feel more like a chore than a fun treasure hunt. Compared to the Marshalls nearby, this store feels noticeably less organized and harder to shop. Service: The associates have been fine overall, but the general store upkeep makes the experience feel a bit rushed and less enjoyable than it should be. Pricing: The prices here can be decent, and I know TJ Maxx is known for good deals, but lately I've noticed more items that feel overpriced for what they are. Sometimes the discounts don't feel as significant as expected, especially when the quality doesn't quite match the price point. It makes it a little harder to justify purchases, especially when I'm not finding standout items to begin with. Overall, I still love TJ Maxx as a brand, but this particular location hasn't lived up to the standard I'm used to. If you're shopping in the Pentagon City area, you may have better luck at the nearby Marshalls.
