South Coast Plaza is my favorite mall in SoCal! There's such a great variety of stores, from…read moreeveryday shopping to luxury brands, and you can easily spend hours here. The location is also a huge plus, with several other great shopping centers nearby, so you have even more options without having to go far. Definitely one of my go-to shopping destinations whenever I'm in the area!

My childhood consists of memories at south coast plaza. But today has very much changed my views…read moreabout this upscale mall. I might never return after the treatment my fiance and I received. It was over 100 degrees today and we wanted to walk our little corgi around the mall because it was too hot to be walking our dog outside. Walking outside in that weather or even anything over 80 degrees is dangerous to dogs, they can have heat strokes or severe burns on their paws. We never had problems walking our pup at indoor malls. On many occasions coming here to do errands I would see others bring their pups, so today I brought mine with my fiancé to go shopping and spend family time together. Our dog is small and well behaved, he doesn't bark and if he does it's usually because he's super excited. Sales associates and kids we passed by loved him and petted him. He was being a good boy. However, we were told to leave the property by atleast 4 security guards, all within 5 minutes! So ridiculous. Even as we were leaving we kept getting stopped by one asking us to leave. I don't understand the harshness of these guards, do they not know it's literally scorching outside? I get dogs are not allowed here but I've seen many times people bring their dogs. Why target us? I'm not sure what the problem is with these security guards. There are other things to be worrying about. Real unprofessional for a "upscale" mall,

Fashion Island is a higher end outdoor mall with some interesting shops and an amazing food court…read more The grounds are beautiful, and it can be fun to just walk around and check everything out. If you have young children, the koi pond with its giant koi fishing can be a huge hit, as there are stepping stones through the middle of the pond and the layout is just gorgeous. There are also several quite amazing water fountains that they'll love running around. Plus it can even give you an excuse to do so! Not to mention, there are numerous stores to visit, including a legendary three or four-story Restoration Hardware with ocean views, an Apple store, tons of boutique clothing shops, Nordstroms, and a few places to enjoy lunch. There is also a PF Chang's with ocean views. Don't forget the amazing gelato place either! It moved from its old location so check the map. It's still there. Service-wise, this is higher end so you can expect decent service wherever you're at. Overall five stars. This is an OC institution.

Update on HUGE cockroach infestation at Fashion Island (FI), Newport Beach…read more Went to FI this 2026 summer and after three summers, I am happy to report the cockroaches are gone. The Irvine company that owns and runs FI never responded to my emails requesting they rid their sewers of the infestation but finally they have acted and now, FI is clean and cockroach free. Hope it stays that way because it was so tragic to experience such a traumatic event year after year. Now they must act and remove the rats scurrying around between Lululemon and Macys. Rats are easier to eliminate than cockroaches but shame on FI for allowing rats to roam freely. Rats are so gross!!!

Come over now! Modern Makers Mart is in session (Saturday, Feb 7). It's an outdoor shopping…read moreexperience. These vendors/artists are here often. Google to find their schedule. Pop-up businesses in the center courtyard. Follow the laughter and music. Everything is handcrafted. It's inspiring connecting with the artists and picking up unique pieces. An amazing value. Priceless memory pieces. Support someone's dream. For some, this is their full time job and others their side hustle. A wonderful community experience!

This is a small shopping plaza right near the North Lake. It's in a very convenient location as you…read morecan take a walk around the lake and afterwards, drop by the shopping center for a bite to eat or a drink. There are many choices for food such as sandwiches, pizza, or hot pot and several choices for drinks as there is a coffee shop and boba tea place. And if you wanted to hang out all day, there is a movie theater, fitness studio and kids activities like the robot academy and art studio. The outdoor seating area is very nice with plenty of shaded areas so you can grab your food to go and eat outside. You can also sit with a view of the lake. In addition, there is a grocery store if you need to do some last minute shopping. The parking lot is plentiful and restrooms are very clean. It's usually not too crowded either during the week. The shopping plaza is patrolled by some security people which is nice.
