    I'm writing from the perspective of someone who recently visited this mall for the first time in 30 years. This mall is a mix of contradictions. The layout and aesthetics are a bit dated; but it is clean and well maintained. The two key anchors were Walmart and Sears; Walmart remains, but Sears is defunct. On the exterior facing La Palma, there are some big-name merchandisers: Burlington, Ross, DSW, T*J*Maxx. Inside, there is a cohort of determined smaller merchants--but there's a lot of un-leased retail space, too. There's a very nice Kirkorian movie theater. There are more than a few restaurants and food shops that get shout-outs on social media. I think you go to this shopping center if one of the tenants is your destination. Unfortunately, this mall is not a destination in itself.

    Can't really ding a place that is TRYING to somewhat revitalize itself. Came to this mall since they were holding the Anime Night Market event right outside in the courtyard between the mall and the theater. Honestly, no idea WHY they didn't just hold the event inside the mall itself when it was burning hot outside and there was effectively so much dead space inside. As a resident of the 626, I'm no stranger to the concept of a dead mall seeing as the Puente Hills Mall is a great example of one and I can say that at the very least this mall is somewhat trying and there's some what good shops to drop by. The main thing is their massive Walmart with a Taco Bell inside. Hands down one of the biggest Wally World's I've been to and the only one that was offering food samples (I've never seen this before). They also have a Ross and TJ Maxx which is great for sales and random home decor, seasonal trinkets, and strange snacks and foods. They have an arcade with some rides there for the kiddies, but I'm unsure if they would do better with a Round 1 instead. Two Hands Korean corn dog and a pretty popping Bath & Body Works. There's also some miscellaneous gift and pop culture merchandise shops (Halloween costumes, etc. included), but easily can go through this mall super fast as there's nothing much either way. Their directory is definitely outdated seeing that a good chunk of the shops no longer exist there (RIP $1 Book Shop) and there's lots of empty kiosks and storefronts. As with the PH Mall, I feel like the presence of a Daiso or Miniso inside here and some clothing chains would solidify the shopping experience, as well as a nice dining chain like Hai Di Lao or something, though it's hard to say with many in person malls struggling as of late. I would never go out of my way to go to this mall, but as it was where the event was located, it's not THAT awful to kill some time at if you're there for some reason.

    Came to BPDT to Visit Porto's with 2 of my friends on a Rainy Friday 2.24.23 There was no rain outside the bakery. Thank goodness, we went around 11 a.m. but definitely lines at the cafe & bakery sides of the Bakery. Lines went by fast along w getting our items within a timely manner. It's expecting too since it was busy morning. They do have a side where it's only cake purchase. So that line is much faster. We went here To enjoy each other's company over scrumptious pastries, lattes & sandwiches. Parking is always hard here. There is a good decent size parking but seems to always be battling somewhat of a marking a spot nightmare. So expect that. I originally wanted to come in for their seasonal Love month items. Raspberry Almond cookie & Guava Mousse Rose is available only during February month. ~Raspberry Almond cookie was really soft & chewy. The center raspberry jam is not overly sweet too. Yu definitely can taste The almond flavor in the cookie. ~Guava Rose Mousse is light airy like pound guava mini cake. It's guava taste is delish w actual guava fruit bits inside the cake. So delish & you can eat the rose. Not strong rise taste at all. Along w it not being too sweet. Got my usual yummy iced strawberry matcha latte. That's a must indeed. So good & not overly sweet. Highly recommended. Also since it was raining. I got a Dulce de Leche latte. Really good too. Not too sweet. ~Red Velvet cake, grabbed for a girlfriends bday. Was perfect. Not too sweet. For the red velvet lovers. It's good. They offer writing Happy Birthday or special name greeting on a white chocolate complimentary when you ask along w they have a small oval white chocolate HBD sign too. FYI Porto's is a really cute Cuban bakery. Walk in with a high ceiling and you're welcome w a glass see thru window into the bakery room where they decorate some of their beautiful desserts in front of you. Pretty cool. Definitely an iconic must visit Bakery, Porto's if you're in the area or just to grab the best pastries for a party yet a birthday celebration cake! There's also so much more than Porto's Cuban Bakery. There's Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park Mall, lots of Eateries. Must visit Iconic Route 39 Beach Blvd.

    Mixed reviews of this mall. I actually find the layout and potential of this mall to be pretty good. However, some of the shops are closed, and there really isn't a food court. They have an outside area leading out from the 2nd floor that has a few eateries in it- EggSlice is a great breakfast place inside there. The open outside area is actually quite nice, but it would be amazing if this mall went through another renovation or remodeling. On the bright side the have a great movie theatre- the Krikorian I believe. They also have John's Incredible Pizza which is quite nice. They have a few restaurants as well like Olive Garden and the fantastic Portillo's Hot Dogs. Parking is very easy. I also want to give a shout out to the security staff. I thought they were very nice and helpful. I actually spent about 15 minutes talking with them. This mall has a lot of potential to be great. 3 stars for now. Will revisit in one year.

    I visited this mall for a party at the pizza place. When I tried to leave the escalator and elevator were both out of service. My husband and I are both handicapped adults that had to get carried up the stairs. The employee at the pizza store said it is the mall responsibility. Nobody from the mall was in sight.

    What's the name of a burger place that used to be next to buffalo wild wings? They were super close to each other, at the entrance of the mall, does anyone know?
