Came here to try some mall Chinese food at China Garden, rated as one of the top spots in the area…read more Upon approaching the counter, we were greeted by a pleasant young lady who walked us through the items they had and offered us samples to try. We settled on the Bourbon chicken, orange chicken, and General Tao's chicken with lo mein. They had a Bourbon chicken daily special with veggies for under $8.50. We got the three entree special for under $12. The chicken dishes were each really good and fresh with each having their distinct flavor profile. All in all, really good "mall" Chinese food that I would come back to when in the area.

I'm a fan of Willow Lawn Shopping Center. I remember it's early days as an outdoor mall, then…read morebecoming an enclosed shopping center, and then back to an outdoor mall. I even remember going to the movies at the Willow Lawn Cinema! Man I'm old! Through all of its growing pains, face lifts and renovations, I have continued my support of this centrally located shopping center. Some restaurants have come and gone, but there's always a good selection of eateries. I'm a regular at Ross, Old Navy and DSW. I'm hoping there will be an influx of business with the new Dick's Sporting Goods store here! I love the Five Guys, Noodles, Tropical Smoothie, Panera and Chick-fil-A. This A.C. Moore doesn't have as much as some of the other shops, but I patronize it in a pinch. Alpha Comics is here and I love browsing in that store and it's right across from Ducks Donuts! The Kroger is always packed, I avoid it. It's nice that they've added a play area and a picnic spot too! The parking configuration is a bit confusing sometimes, but it's not hateful. This mall is one structure that seems to always reinvent itself! Overall, I'm glad this RVA classic mall has survived thru the decades! Keep on truckin' Willow Lawn! Yep, I said it!

Willow Lawn is great for Staples, AC Moore, and Kroger, but if I'm looking for anything more, this…read moreis not my pick. However, it's undergone a big facelift over the last few months and I'm interested to see what happens with it! Aside from Old Navy, there aren't any clothing shops I'd be interested in perusing, but there's a new taphouse that I'd like to check out. There's also a Five Guys, a liquor store, Starbucks, Panera, and Noodles & Co if you're hungry or thirsty. It's your typical strip mall, with smaller stores in an outdoor setting. I do think it's headed in a much more positive direction as a result of the building renovations, so my fingers are crossed that they're able to pull in more anchor stores to make this a more popular shopping destination. Parking is never a problem, and the holiday decorations get two thumbs up from this girl! And did I mention the Staples is great? Because it is.

Oh Stony Point, how far you've fallen…read more I don't know if it's COVID or what has brought about the mass exodus from this outdoor shopping center but it's a shell of what it used to be. 10 years or so ago - I was so impressed with all the stores here. Some of them the only high end ones until you get to DC. Tiffany's, Restoration Hardware, Anthropologie, Sur la Table, body stores, Bebe, Saks 5th Ave and tons more. Tiffany's and RH remain. As well as Saks and a few others holding on like Pandora and Brighton, but that's it. A vast majority of the shops have closed as well as the restaurants. I remember when this was a bustling shopping center with children playing in the main area and people walking their pets. It was a ghost town today. I hope it can be revived.
