I haven't been here in years and wow has it changed. Overall for the better with tons of stores,…read moreplaces to eat, and inviting areas to hang out. As an open air mall, this style of shopping is inviting and enjoyable. Visiting frequently as a kid, it is a completely different experience. Stores are more high end than I remember. Crowds were exponentially greater! Lines for several stores (including Olive Young) to get in and for Ramen blew my mind. If you want a place to watch the world cup, courtyard is ready and inviting. This area was nice with the high rise century city backdrop. Although it was more crowded than I expected, meeting friends for lunch was great. The restaurant choices are wonderful. We planned to eat at one spot, but due to the wait we changed it up and it was a total hit. Parking was crazy! Lines to go up and down, it took forever to pull in a spot. The prices are expensive too if ya make a day here. Very few places validate.

However, this experience proved to be very disappointing, since the problem was mainly caused by…read morethe parking system of the mall. Although this place is clean and offers lots of great stores, the parking system made everything very annoying. The fee system is complicated, and even after shopping, I ended up paying way too much. A place like this one, which claims to offer an exclusive shopping experience, requires a major renovation of its customer service department and parking system. There are many alternatives available in Los Angeles, where people do not leave irritated by the fees related to parking.

One of the worst Electrify America locations! There are only 3 chargers here and most of the time…read moreat least one of them is down. This week 2 of the 3 are not working. Parking at this mall is crazy as it is but even more so here at Gelson's where the chargers are. There's not really an official line but most people know to wait on one side. Some people will try to be slick and park on the opposite side and say they were waiting. Lots of people trying to prove their importance over others lol. You can see how long someone has been charging by looking at the charging screen yet I have had multiple people on many different visits look at the screen, make eye contact with me and proceed to ask if I'm done charging yet. Like brother you can see I've only been here for 10 minutes of course I'm not done yet? They always try to persuade you with a story- "I really need to charge" "I have a long drive ahead of me" "there's 5 people in line behind me". Ok??? Everyone that is here is here to charge their car, wait your turn like everyone else and don't bother people. If someone was parked here for over an hour still charging then that is an appropriate situation to talk to the person and ask when they will be done but not when its clearly evident the person hasn't been here that long. The entitlement is so loud. I've seen two almost brawls break out here before because of entitled people thinking they should skip the line or make the rules.

This is the electrify America stations near Gelsons in Century City. I would give this company less…read morethan one star if I could. The stations are often broken for weeks or months without being fixed. Station 3 has now been broken for as long as I remember and not yet fixed. I reported this station about two weeks ago, and still not fixed. I am certain others have reported it as well and still nothing done. The operator on the phone was very nice and made it seem that it would be fixed right away. Well now its been about two weeks and nothing has been done. If it were any other kind of business, it would be finished and bankrupt by now and driven out by competition. But we don't have a lot of choices when it comes to fast charging stations. It is the only reason I continue to use them. California is pushing to have every car sold in this state to be electric by 2035. I don't know how we are going to achieve this. With such lousy infrastructure for charging and lousy charging companies like Electrify America, we are going to be in big trouble making this transition. Tesla is way ahead of the game in their charging infrastructure. For the rest of us without Tesla cars, we are out of luck. I fail to understand how the folks in charge of this company can run such a lousy company with unacceptable service. Car companies pay Electrify America for free charging and pass that cost to us when we buy the car. What a bum deal we are all getting with such a lousy company. Those that can't afford a home charging station are really screwed.

Food and Selection This market was a really nice surprise…read more We originally came because they validate parking with just a $10 purchase, but we ended up actually enjoying the market itself. They had a great selection of drinks, including yerba mate options we don't usually find elsewhere, plus a hot food section with a lot of variety. Some prices were higher like you'd expect in this area, but honestly a lot of items were reasonably priced too. Service The employees were all very friendly, and one worker especially went above and beyond talking with us and making us feel welcome. She mentioned she's been working there for around 20 years, which honestly says a lot about the place. Ambiance and Cleanliness The store was extremely clean, organized, and all the produce looked fresh and well stocked. The overall atmosphere felt upscale but still welcoming and comfortable. Even the other customers were polite and friendly, which made the experience even nicer.

I reached out to them at 9:17am. A few minutes later, I received an admittedly pleasant call from someone on their team based in California. We then proceeded to text from there, at which point I gave him my address and paid $130 to begin the service. At 10:41am, I asked for an update. At 12:57pm, I received a response asking if they could come sometime after 4pm. I agreed, and he said he would have an exact ETA for me soon. At 5:06pm, I asked for an update -- I got no response. At 6:57pm, I asked for another update. The exact response I got was: "im sorry lets please do tomorrow." I was annoyed, but I also understood that bad weather had hit my city that day, so slowdowns might be expected. I immediately responded and told them we need to schedule an exact window for my services to begin the next day. No response. At 8:11pm, he ignored my previous text and instead informed me that a driver could show up in "in 30 min." Given that I was told over an hour ago that they could not show up until tomorrow (to say nothing of the fact that 1) I didn't believe him, given our previous interactions, and 2) it would be almost 9pm by the time someone would allegedly show up), I told him that would not work for me, and that we needed to determine a window for service the next day. I offered any time between 8:30am - 11:30am. The only response I received to that text was "Ohhhh" So then I followed up again: "When in that window works?" The response I received was "Let me ask you do you need your 12v replaced?" No. I do not. At no point in our 12-hour call/text string did I ever say I needed my 12V replaced. I explained that, and this individual simply gave the message a thumbs-up in response, and continued refusing to commit to a service window. The next day, I reached out at 8:30am, asking where they were. No response. At 10:10am (more than 24 hours after this whole process began), I informed them that I would be cancelling my service and expecting a refund. Given that I was now fully convinced they were trying to scam me, I told them I needed proof of a refund initiation within the next 2 hours, otherwise I would file a chargeback as well as lodge a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I received my refund at 10:37am. The representative, when showing me proof of the refund, told me that they "had a driver that was gearing up to get ready, but there you go." Had there been clearer lines of communication, plans that didn't change, and commitments provided, I could have looked past almost all of the above. But the lack of responses/responses that didn't actually reply to the questions I asked, combined with an ever-shifting window for service that ultimately culminated in an over 24-hour-long wait for nothing, was just too ridiculous.

I had a great experience with this EV charger installation team. They were on top of everything…read morefrom start to finish--super organized, communicative, and professional. They showed up exactly when they said they would, which I really appreciated. My charger ended up being delayed from Amazon, but they were incredibly flexible. They still came out on Monday to complete the wiring, then returned on Wednesday to install the charger once it arrived. That level of reliability and follow-through made the whole process smooth and stress-free. On top of that, they were just genuinely nice and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will definitely use them again in the future.

One thing that immediately stood out was their responsiveness. While other companies took days to get back to us--if at all--this team responded quickly and provided a proposal without delay. Their efficiency and professionalism were clear from the very beginning. The crew was professional, courteous, and efficient. Although the installation was estimated to take around 7 hours, they completed it in under 6 without compromising quality. The work area was left clean and organized. Our project required upgrading the panel to support a 220V connection, and they offered the most cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality. Their pricing was fair and transparent compared to other companies we considered. What also stood out was their strong knowledge of city ordinances and policies, which made the decision-making process much easier and gave us confidence every step of the way. We especially appreciated the extra effort put into installing the outdoor outlet--thank you for going above and beyond. I've already recommended this company to several friends, which reflects the high level of service they provide. Thank you again for a job well done.

It was a hot day, and so we asked for ice water with our order. You would have thought we were ASKING FOR GOLD, the way the employees got so huffy and rude!!! After confirming we were Paying Customers, they proceeded to talk under their breath about how they were going to switch to bottled water so "people couldn't get free water" anymore, suuuuuper cool to hear!
