This is a perfect choice for when you're traveling with a group and have a lot of differing preferences.

I always recommend doing a quick walk through to see all the options available. They have over 35+ vendors and a great variety of food from pizza to BBQ to ramen to empanadas to Latin to sushi and seafood. I tried Wicked Maine Lobster and ordered a crab sandwich with fries. This was the perfect portion and the crab tasted fresh, and the fries were perfectly seasoned.  The market has plenty of seating inside and outside. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather! The market is located near the airport and you can see the plans overhead. It was a little loud for talking sometimes but you get used to the plane noise quickly.   I always enjoy visiting this spot when in San Diego!

Looking for souvenirs and specialty shops? Seaport! Parking is also very affordable and available. I always park here whether I'm visiting a hotel, the park, or Seaport itself. It's a perfect spot for taking a breather and simply enjoying the day! My family and I took a family member who was visiting us for the day. We grabbed some ice cream at Ben & Jerry's, coffee at Spill the Beans, and took a ride on the San Diego seal (a hydro-terra) ride. Seaport Village is a central point in downtown SD. It's not just a tourist attraction, it's so much more. The heart of the marina in SD!

Love food halls and this one is no different. A bit smaller but very cute!…read more I ordered elote from "elote" and a surf n Turf burrito from Flor's farm to table. The elote was $9.50 and a decent size but too pricey for really what it is... The burrito was HUGE and delicious! Love the house sauce inside the burrito, good amount of meat (a few tough pieces but easy to spit out), and the mild sauce really isn't spicy at all so just a nice addition of flavor! Quick service - but also I went at 3:30pm on a Monday.

I really…read morelike this place because it's clean, nice, and there are a lot of food options, so we can just walk around, relax, do a little shopping, and eat all in one area. There are a few restaurants here that I personally like, especially Din Tai Fung and Haidilao. There's also Starbucks and plenty of other spots depending on what you're in the mood for. The whole area just has a comfortable vibe to it compared to a lot of other malls. Parking has honestly never been too difficult for me either. Even when it gets busy, I can usually still find a spot without too much trouble.

Apocalyptically awful parking lot!…read more This parking lot is a chaotic, soul-crushing labyrinth that may very well be the single worst design I've encountered in my 79 long, well-traveled years on this planet. Upon entering, you're handed a cheerful little ticket promising a free first hour--how generous! What they don't tell you is that you'll spend roughly two-thirds of that hour trapped in a slow-moving purgatory just trying to escape. You've got about 20 blissful minutes to enjoy yourself before trying to join the line of cars that moves slower than a sloth on melatonin. I genuinely cannot tell if the exit gates are malfunctioning, cursed, or if the drivers ahead of me were participating in some sort of cognitive endurance experiment. Multiple cars took a baffling 4-5 minutes each at the gate--an interaction that should take about 10 seconds unless you're attempting to solve a Rubik's cube while blindfolded. By the time I escaped, I had aged another decade. I will absolutely never return to this parking lot. Bring a helicopter. Hope this helps.

I only have two malls i consistently go in San Diego, the Fashion Valley Mall and the UTC Mall…read more However, UTC mall is more of a leisure... to walk around and kill time, for my son to play at the playground, for the festivities on the holiday season especially Xmas, to have family fun dates and good food experiences at nearby restaurants and the mall I always go to every time I have issues with my Apple iPhone and techs. The fashion Valley Mall tho, is my main mall. This is the mall where I actually do most of my shopping. We watch movies at the AMC theater when we have extra time and get food at the cafeteria/food court area after hours of walking. My son never misses going inside the Laderach to get a free taste, the best chocolate there is. We love going to this mall, especially with my son now being a teenager, we would most likely be doing lots of our shopping activities here especially at his favorite boutiques, like the zumies, Hollister, Rayban, and plenty others I do not recall.... We also love going to The escape room where the mall is. My favorite is the Nordstrom Rack! ;) The holidays tho could get really packed and busy but there's alot of nice things to see and lots of good deals to look forward to.

Hello May!! Came to…read moreFashion Valley on what must've been an off Sunday because...where was everybody? I hadn't been here in years, fully prepared to fight for parking, but jokes on me. Endless spots to park! That's a first! Are malls dead now? How are stores surviving? Anywhoo, I still spent more than planned. Damn you, Sephora! Pros: *Surprisingly easy parking (a rare mall miracle) *Huge mix of stores from bougie to budget - Louis Vuitton, Coach, Hollister, Macy's, Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, H&M, Zara, and Gucci to name a few *Open-air vibe with palm trees; very San Diego aesthetic with a tropical feel; complete with fountains and artistic landscaping *Solid food options with a food court, cafes, and kiosks, Cheesecake Factory, Seasons 52, and my fav, True Food Kitchen *Clean and well-maintained and easy to wander around *There's a lot of variety here to keep you entertained *They have seasonal events that is a nice addition to shopping Cons: *Felt oddly empty for a Sunday..kinda eerie but it may be an introvert paradise *Dangerous for your wallet (you will overspend) *Some stores seem like they're hanging on by a thread *Malls just don't hit like they used to despite the pros- mainly because everything has gone up! Shopping isn't as enjoyable when things cost an arm and a leg. Overall: 3.5 Stars - Still one of the nicer malls around if you're in the mood to stroll, shop, and accidentally blow your budget (Guilty!). Would I come back? Only if my bank account approves!

I've been looking for a spot for potato noodles in San Diego. While they're not as thick as they…read morelook online, the texture is spot-on. The perfect amount of buonciness with a good chew. I ordered the Beef Slices (the classic soup with added beef) with half potato noodles and knife cut noodles. The soup was well-rounded and loaded with mushrooms, quail eggs, seaweed, and tofu skin. It felt hearty without being heavy. The noodle combo includes a drink, which was a nice touch. For under $20, the portion was good and served hot in a clay pot. I'm a bit indecisive so I went with the three fresh flavors on the server's recommendation, but I got flavor fatigue by the end. The knife-cut noodles also didn't stand out compared to the potato noodles, which are clearly the star here. The stall is located in a food court with shared seating, but the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid option if you're craving comforting, filling noodles. Everyone should give it a try but I probably wouldn't would come back just on my own.
