What happened to our beautiful open space here in Manhattan Beach?…read more This used to be such a lovely upscale area to come and sit outside next to a water feature. Everything is dilapidated now. The water feature doesn't work. But there are still scores of screaming kids that run up and down the concrete remains. The escalators to and from the parking frequently are broken. And yet they continue to charge outrageous amounts for the parking, now through centralized pae stations rather than meters which are unattractively bagged with bright yellow plastic bags. TL/dr: One would expect more from a high and neighborhood common space.

Parking is free here. I have been here a few times throughout the years. I drive by a couple time a month, but don't stop in the plaza much. I recently came here to check out Bada Coffee. It replaced Starbucks. There's a nice fountain outside which is great to watch & listen to while sipping coffee. The shops here are: Bada Coffee Ralphs Dollar Tree Jack's Pizza Great Clips Peninsula Urgent Care Dentists of South Bay Sally Beauty Supply Cleaners Taco Bell is at the corner of Calle Mayor & PCH. Not sure how this plaza got its' name, but there is a huge Plaza Mayor that was completed in Madrid, Spain in 1619. That plaza looks to be so different from this one. Looking on Google, there is no count of how many "Plaza Mayor"are in the world! It simply translates to "Main Plaza" but is usually a central public square. Signage with the list of stores here is outdated. They need to update them.

After doing a little shopping at nearby William and Sonoma, I had a few questions to ask these two, and boy was I not prepared for the answers! Within 15 minutes, I realized the concierge services offered here are top tier. Bren and Hope (pictured) informed me they can cater to Village customers by: 1) providing you with a ticket to secure your luggage or baggage you wish to safely store while you shop at your convenience... 2) provide wheelchair rentals for the disabled or physically challenged... 3) make restaurant reservations for you... 4) charge your phone(s) while you shop... 4) answer a plethora of questions you may have regarding all things Manhattan Village. These two boom with personality and their knowledge knows no boundaries! They are a true credit to the Manhattan Village brand!

But it has been awhile prior to our first restaurant run. Truly a great beachside destination. Plenty of eateries (and many of them dog friendly!) and shops for everyone's budget. The beach is literally a block or two away and parking isn't horrendously expensive unlike some other beaches or shorelines. (A buck and a half per hour is a steal!) It's a pretty chill and kickback area. Some grub spots have live bands/music you can vibe to. But the best part of the village is definitely walking by the shores! The views. Of the water alongside the mountains are breathtaking. I imagine the best time to come through is during the spring and summer. We have yet to experience the area during the fall and winter seasons. We do intend to find out, though! Will update as needed!

The atmosphere felt cozy and energetic at the same time with music, friendly voices, and the smell of fresh food filling the air. Teenagers would love how easy it is to explore because everything is close together and full of personality. The service at the small shops felt personal and welcoming which made the whole experience feel more meaningful. The value was impressive because there were many affordable treats and unique items that did not feel overpriced. The quality of the stores and food stands was high and everything felt thoughtfully arranged. The selection was wide enough to keep teenagers entertained whether they wanted snacks, clothes, handmade items, or just a fun place to walk. I have only been there once before writing this review but it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable places I have visited. I highly recommend that teenagers go there because it gives them a chance to feel independent, creative, and connected to a lively community.

Review #993 2026-063…read more Vista Plaza is a business center located off of Pacific Coast Hwy. & Vista Montana. Originally, it was anchored by Kmart/Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) & Bally Total Fitness, & both were replaced by supermarkets. Tenants (non-exhaustive list): Bank of America Dragon Martial Arts H Mart Groceries & More Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai Michaels O'Reilly Auto Parts Papa Johns Pizza Sprouts Farmers Market The Beach Hut The Salvation Army Family Store I used to work out with my mentor at Bally's & didn't come to Vista Plaza for anything else until OSH replaced Kmart, but it was short-lived since they didn't even last a year, though I picked up some wonderful veggie starter plants. And later Sprouts when Bally's closed. I had an unfavorable review of Sub Club Italian Deli (Review #536) for older deli meats sale that they were trying to pawn off due to the pandemic lockdown; my fam got sick from the deli meats. I had to remove it because it was owned by a colleague, & didn't want any repercussions against my spouse. This spot was later replaced about 2 years ago by Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai (refer to Review #965), a change for the better. H also took her taekwondo belt test at Dragon Martial Arts. The main studio on Sepulveda Blvd. where she took her lessons was a smaller space, so it was held at the Vista Plaza location. My daughter's godmother & godsister has been thrifting a lot since the pandemic lockdown & loves shopping at The Salvation Army Family Store. I was fortunate enough to have hand-me-downs from her godmother during infancy & toddler years, my niece during elementary & middle school, & my esthetician's petite adult daughter for her middle & high school years, saving me thousands of dollars & recycling clothes for Mother Earth. We're usually here at their specialty sales like "fill-a-bag" or 2 day promo in January &/or summer. Vista Plaza isn't dense like some others in the South Bay, but it's popular enough with 2 markets: Sprouts & H Mart at the helm.

I never tire of coming through here because not only do the stores carry lots of things I need, it's also pretty convenient. I'm a fan!
