What I wrote close to a legal-adult age gap ago (#1) still largely holds true, with a few notable…read moreexceptions: construction never truly finished as the place is perpetually under it; it no longer resembles what it was for the last decade and is more updated and spacious than ever. In fact, the multi year transformation that its currently undergoing makes it less of a traditional mall and more of a mini city that has spawned into a mixed-use commercial district. Their use of natural lighting all throughout the space makes it an ideal place for a photo in any corner. In addition to the space, many stores have stepped in with a good number that are high-end to appease all of the new money coming into the city of Richmond. It has become a leisurely destination for families and teenagers as folks roam the mall from corner to corner. One of the most significant transformations has been their food court, which has been dubbed the DiningTERRACE and features a number of food and drink spots. The only downside has been the mediocrity of most spots, which has plenty of room for improvement. Parking is also a mess, especially during the weekend. Folks are constantly competing for space and camping out has become a necessity during their busiest times. As many skyscrapers have been built nearby and it's proximity to the metro rail, this place will only serve to be busier as time goes on. ____________ (#1) 18 years has flown by.

Some of these shops are ones that you can only find in the 604. Seems to be more of a place where Asian Ma and Pa stores thrive without drama from the rest of the city. There are a lot of herb stores as well as fashion boutiques as well. Every time I step foot in this mall I feel like I am in Hong Kong. I am really feelings the 604 love here. I would come here again if I could. Drawback: If you are looking for good food, please go somewhere else because their food court is limited. Good news is these are foods that you don't see in US Asian shopping centers. The size of this mall is the same as Mustafa Center in Singapore. If you want bigger go somewhere else.

Also got their famous ginger scallion chicken with rice, and it did NOT disappoint. Super flavorful, comforting, and generous portions all around - great value.

This review is regarding the PARKADE only, not a reflection of the mall itself or the stores…read morewithin. You MUST validate your parking at Sungiven Foods for 2-hour free parking, all other stores only validate for 1.5 hours - and I learned this the hard way. It was my first time driving to City Square, and I saw the sign in the parkade that read "Enjoy 2 hours free parking with purchase". I went to Dollarama first, and had my ticket validated there. I shopped around, and Sungiven Foods was one of my last stops before returning to my car. As I was driving out of the parkade, I was surprised that there was an overdue balance of $4.25 at the gate, even though I was in City Square for less than 2 hours (I had a timer on my phone). I called parking assistance and they sent Chandani to deal with the issue. She did not want to listen to my situation and was very rude and unhelpful. She kept insisting I pay for the ticket or go back upstairs to revalidate, and then walked away. I understand she may not have any authority to authorize anything or override the ticket, but she did not bother to listen or try to get help. I checked my timer, and saw that I was cutting it very close to 2 hours, so if I had re-parked my car and went back upstairs to revalidate, I would definitely go over the 2-hour limit. I paid the ticket and checked the website when I got home, and I understand that the City Square regulations states: -90 minutes FREE parking with a minimum $5.00 purchase from City Square retailers. -One retailer stamp per parking ticket allowed. Please bring your parking ticket along with you to the retailer for validation. I am upset because there was no indication (either on the website on signage posted in the mall or parkade) that the retailer stamp HAD to be from Sungiven Foods specifically (and be validated there first) in order to qualify for 2-hour free parking (instead of 90 min). Chandani also gave me the wrong information, and I would not have been able to re-validate at Sungiven foods anyways if I went back upstairs, as only one retailer stamp per parking ticket is allowed (as per the website). I did email the admin at City Square as well with my concerns over the signage, and asked for a possible refund. Chasity from Reception & Administration directed me to Precise Parklink in regards to the ticket refund. I didn't bother contacting Precise Parklink because on paper, I did exceed the 1.5 hour parking limit, but the reason for this is because of the misleading and unclear signage in my opinion.

Dumpy old school Asian mall at the SW corner of Cambie and Garden City. Had no idea this place even…read morehad a food court until my friend discovered it by accident the other day. Parking is available in the middle of the mall, accessed from the S (McKim) or W (Odlin) sides of the complex. The mall is basically a rectangle with stores around the perimeter, and the parkade in the middle. The food court (2F, W side of complex) is pretty dated and beaten up. There was some sort of roof leak in the eating area, so there were buckets on the floor. Since nobody seems to know this place exists, there is quite a bit of seating, which is nice. As of the time of writing, the food court hours are 0900-1900 daily. Places do start closing at 1800 though, so best to come earlier.

The new Oakridge Park (the artist formerly known as Oakridge Centre) isn't even complete yet, but…read moreso far it is absolutely amazing. It is beautiful & gorgeous, opulent & dripping in elegance. The decor outstanding, the soft lighting, the flooring supreme, grand artwork throughout, stunning high-end retailers & a diverse food hall. All the big players in retail are right here - Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, Dior, BLVGARI, Christian Louboutin, Moncler, Tiffany, & more. This is only the first phase of this massive $6.5 billion dollar redevelopment project. Some issues - Oakridge Park if you're reading this - turn the AC up. Or get a few industrial type fans set up on the ceiling to circulate air throughout the mall. It was stuffy throughout the entire mall. Due to the extremely high ceiling setup, fans will be required. You're welcome. One other thing, the wooden seating decor (see my pics) at one of the future entertainment areas - reminds me of the pews in older churches = very uncomfortable. Put some padding down on the seats for people sit on. & my butt won't hurt. At the Time Out Market Vancouver food hall, I had a Fennie Burger - it was too salty. However, Mello donuts continues to deliver the finest donuts in Metro Vancouver - don't miss out on taking a few home on your way out. Time Out Market is an extremely pricey food court. I'd rather spend this kind of cash on a full on restaurant experience. However, the food court options are spectacular ie Lunch Lady, Espana, Mee Bar, Via Tevere Pizzeria, Downlow Chicken & more. For dessert try - Mello donuts & Beaucoup Bakery Cafe. In terms of the layout of this food hall compared to The Amazing Brentwood Mall, it disappoints. The seating arrangement is too crowded. Take note, there's a few cocktail bars scattered throughout the mall. So if you're grown & sexy & feel like chilling out at the bar - cheers. Otherwise it's a stunning mall & I can't wait to see what comes in via the next phase. Ps bring all 5 of your credit cards - it's mighty high-end in here all the way.

I went on a Monday morning during FIFA to check out the newly opened mall…read more It got off to a bad start: the skytrain exit was still under construction with hoarding covering the stairway to street level. How is that station going to serve the population that is about to descend on this mega-complex? From the street level, the mall entrance is grand and at the moment a bit empty and cavernous. Before entering I am greeted with "coming soon" signs on retail spaces. a foreshadowing of things to come... I wandered the retail level. It was beyond quiet, but it was a Monday morning. There were great hunks of the retail real estate hoarded behind pretty graphics on temporary walls. I stopped at a Christian Louboutin window admiring a pair of shoes when I was assaulted with a death glare from a dower sales person on the inside shewing me away. Overall I'd say the retail level has a tranquil ostentatiousness that well serves the many luxury brands, and lululemon. I then went upstairs to the food court branded "Time Out", where soundtrack of a FIFA football match was blaring over the sound system throughout: a stark contrast to the zen grand hall of luxury retail one floor below. I wandered through quickly noting none of the vendors branding was anywhere in sight. Each kiosk appearing identical to the next. The only difference being the menu items themselves. I felt I had stumbled across an incongruous oasis of toxic masculinity: a massive sports bar. After a quick walk about I headed back to the skytrain via the grand second floor exit. I won't be returning anytime soon...
