It's very cute and cozy in the evening/at night, especially after the rain and with those lights. It's not a big street and there's a limited number of shops, but it's nice to take a quick stroll down. I'll be honest, none of the shops here are really from brands or stores I would normally shop at (lol rich people stores), so we really didn't stop by a lot of them and most of them were closing for the evening anyways (I have learned that lots of things in the Bay Area close quite early). There's some street parking and some parking lots but it looked quite packed. Not sure what it's like on a non-rainy day.

I probably come here the least out of my family. Parking has been a challenge in the past. It was slightly easier now with the new Tokyo Central lot. Thank you. There are just not too many businesses I like to frequent, let's see if the new Tokyo Central changes that. It was nice today to have an event. I spent some time visiting and supporting all the local vendors here. Overall a better visit than I have had in the past, thank you. Ambiance - Want to be an upscale mall. Looks good.

Good amount of meat and noodles. It comes with a side of fresh bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños . Cơm tấm đặc biệt (special rice platter) is plated with a juicy cut of grilled pork chop, Chinese sausage, fried shrimp cake, shredded pork (don't forget to add an egg). Love the in house pickled veggies (I always ask for extra). I use ever drop of their house made fish sauce, which adds the perfect amount of umami to this dish.

Old Oakland and Oakland Chinatown are just a few blocks away. Lots of small places to eat here, although most are closed during the weekend. You can tell this is a major lunch area during the week for businesses located here and the surrounding area. I think if they promoted this place a little better, it has the potential to be a very popular place, mostly because it is so aesthetically pleasing!!

This is a review of the outdoor, multilevel mall, which confusingly has the same name as the larger…read moretwelve-block redeveloped area of Downtown Oakland in which it sits. I don't know anything about the history of that redevelopment--it's from the 1950s, so it was probably bad--this is just my take on the mall. Between 2003 and 2006, when I was still relatively new to the Bay Area and to riding BART, this place would have garnered four stars. I was in high school and college in the 1990s, and everything about this place screamed '90s, from the public art to the fountain to the fun multiple levels. A legitimately outdoor mall that descends underground yet still has plenty of sunlight and open space? Sign me up!--or at at least, I'll eat my lunch here! And I did. I had an internship nearby one summer, and I ate lunch here pretty often, and when that was over and I worked seasonally at UC Berkeley, I would often stop here on the way home and visit La Salsa--remember La Salsa? The memories of those mid-aughts days still make me smile, like playing Street Fighter III: Third Strike. I also used the FedEx Office (then called FedEx Kinko's) a few times for work and grad school. The mall itself is still remarkably clean, but it's also hugely depressing because there are so few businesses left. Go to their website right now. The three categories listed are dining, services, and shopping. There are a few dining and services options remaining, but there is a single shopping option: Walgreens. That's right; in this entire mall, the only place you can buy a non-food-related gift for someone else is a drugstore. I can't say that the mall ever felt terribly crowded, but when I would come here during the day, there were people eating at the tables and sitting on the benches and walking around. Its proximity to BART* should guarantee it lots of business, but alas, I guess enough people are still working from home that businesses just can't survive here. It's a shame, too, because it really is a nice space. Online shopping really has reduced social interactions with strangers and has ruined social cohesion in many ways. *The 12th Street/Oakland City Center BART Station has an exit right into the lowest part of Oakland City Center.

Jack London Square is one of my favorite places to slow down and enjoy the day. There are great…read morerestaurants and cafés, a pet store, a candy shop, and a store for water sports and outdoor gear. It's also just a short walk to World Market, a nearby movie theater, and downtown Oakland. If you're driving, there's a convenient parking garage. What I love most is that you don't have to spend any money to enjoy yourself. You can sit under the trees, watch the boats, stretch out on the grass, listen to live music, and simply enjoy the waterfront. The square itself is pedestrian-friendly, so you can relax without traffic rushing by. Sundays are especially enjoyable with the farmers market and live performances. Today I'm listening to the talented musicians from the Oaktown Jazz Workshops, who also have a home right here in Jack London Square. Every now and then, you'll hear a train passing by, which somehow adds to the character of the place. I'm really going to miss The Plank. It was such a fun community gathering spot and a place where I often came just to unwind. Another bonus is the free shuttle from Alameda, which makes getting here easy and enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a meal, a movie, a waterfront stroll, or simply a peaceful no cost place to sit and recharge, Jack London Square is well worth a visit.

The outlet was on sixth Street and was, at first, an outlet only, whereas the main stores were across the Bay Area. The initial retail on telegraph Avenue was where I worked. It was the best possible experience for me at the time. I spent nearly every weekend camping in the Sierras or cross country skiing as the company loaned equipment to employees in order for them to be able to better describe the items to customers. So long ago, it was still safe for a woman to go on such adventures solo. That company was the basis for so many other outdoor companies similar to this. Patagonia, Marmot Mountain Works, etc. Hap Klopp was president during those early days and very true to his love of of the outdoors.
