For those looking for a quick shopping experience, there is none more appropriate than Burbank…read moreEmpire Center. It is right off the 5 Freeway less than a couple miles from the Burbank Airport. There are plenty of shopping options anchored by Best Buy, Walmart, Lowe's, Staples and Target. There are plenty of culinary options anchored by Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Panda Express and Sharky's Mexican Restaurant. There are plenty of libation options anchored by Starbucks, Jamba Juice and BevMo! There are plenty of other shopping options all around. Traffic flow gets a little stiff from time to time but multiple access points mitigate that very well. Your trip here will not end in disappointment.

This is a great little area inside Burbank Empire Center. You have a Blaze Pizza, Hook Burger,…read moreBevmo, GNC, Jamba Juice, Cava, Dave Hot Chicken and many more. I came to this area in the morning today to stop by Starbucks to get a drink for my wife. But I been to the Blaze Pizza here and Bevmo. I didn't have a great experience at this Bevmo so I never went back. There plenty of parking here or you can just park in the Burbank Empire Center area as well. I believe there a Green Lantern statue here so when I come back I'll look for it.

I've been visiting this mall for over 20 years. It has had its ups and downs, but I'm mostly…read morepleased with its current incarnation. Since the pandemic, I rarely shop in person but I will make the effort to visit the Glendale Galleria. Glendale is a safer, cleaner part of L.A. and it's actually possible for me to feel a bit more relaxed here than in Hollywood or Downtown. The mall itself is rather large and when combined with The Americana across the street, it's a nice place to shop and dine. If you enjoy Asian food, beauty products and other merchandise, this is a great place for all of it. For dining options there is Din Tai Fung, Kura Revolving Sushi along with other options in the Food Court. There is a cute shop called , "Korheim" that sells K Beauty products and there is also a Pop Mart and a Miniso store too. There is also a dessert shop called "Angel/Devil" that has boba drinks and Korean style Dubai Chocolate Cookies- so yummy! On the weekends, it can be pure mayhem here. I prefer to come during the week when it's a less crowded. I'm grateful that this mall is still thriving because it's one of the few places I feel is still worth visiting.

On Sunday (6/14/2026) I went to Glendale Galleria with my mom and my brother…read more My mom bought some shoes and cosmetics, and I picked up both a Beef Kabob and a Chicken Kabob from Massis Kabob. After that, we all had dinner together at Kura Sushi. After dinner at Kura Sushi, I decided to pick up another kabob to go for my other brother at home. As I was walking back to Kura Sushi with the food, I passed by the restroom area near the food court and a kiosk that appeared to offer eyebrow tattooing services. A Hispanic female janitor was cleaning the area. My mom had called me and was asking me to come back quickly, so I was walking at a very fast pace with the takeout order in my hand. Suddenly, the female janitor jabbed me in the arm and started speaking angrily in Spanish. I couldn't understand a single word she was saying, and I was completely shocked by her behavior. I assume that because I was walking quickly to get back to my mom, I may not have noticed that she had placed a caution sign and was cleaning that section of the floor. Perhaps I accidentally walked through the area she was working on. Even so, I found it completely unacceptable for someone to jab me in the arm like that. To make matters worse, she kept speaking to me in Spanish, which I could not understand. I honestly thought her behavior was very inappropriate. I simply responded, "Please speak English and do not touch me, OK?" My mom was waiting for me and wanted to leave right away, so I didn't have time to continue the conversation and just walked away. However, the more I think about what happened that day, the more upset it makes me. I sincerely hope I never experience something this unpleasant again. Glendale Galleria should do a better job of training its employees on how to interact respectfully with customers.

I used to like to come and shop, dine at the Empire Center when it opened…read more It is a huge, outdoors shopping center in Burbank. Free parking. But lately it's an necessary evil, I come only when I really need certain items I have to get in stores at Target, Best Buy, Michaels and the dreaded Walmart. Lots of chains which I try to avoid as much as possible. I stopped coming here for dining or donuts at Krispy Kreme as I don't care for them anymore for years now. Much better choices elsewhere. Traffic got congested in the area, I even saw accidents happen. Also, no one wants to give your turn here at Stop signs. It makes it more stressful.

This outdoor is only about 1.5 miles from my house but I very seldom come here. Stores include…read moreWalmart, Target, Lowe's, Best Buy, REI, Michael's and a few more smaller stores. You can also find here Krispy Kreme, Olive Garden, Outback, and several fast food restaurants. Let me tell you why I don't like coming here. Traffic is a nightmare. It always has been but it got even worse when an entrance to 5 freeway was added. Not a fan period.

I am so surprised that I haven't done a review on Americana at Brand for all these years that I…read morehave been going there, shopping at their finest stores, and eating at their finest restaurants, which my friends and I always had the pleasure of doing. It has been a while since I'd gone there, up until last night around 6:30 pm. We didn't go out to dinner, but had few things from their cute stands that sell coffee, pretzels, and ice cream. Sat outside to watch the water show that comes on every hour. It is SO beautiful, refreshing on any day, especially during evening time to closing time. They have variety of things to do there. There is everything for everyone to keep them busy. It's breathtaking and just simply wonderful & green all around you. Some of the great places to dine are the Cheesecake Factory, an Italian restaurant called Amici. They have fine, delicious Italian food. Have been there few times, and once on a date. They gave a 2 spirit Barnes & Noble for book lovers, an AMC movie theatre that used to be Pacific Theaters, A Seabutter Sushi restaurant that is very good and romantic with patio seating. They also have the Mexican restaurant Frida.. Just to name a few of their iconic, yet high end businesses. You can walk, take the trolley, take your dogs for a walk, and simply enjoy the fresh air. Their Christmas lighting ceremony is MAGNIFICENT!! Must see!!! I am glad we were able to go there again last night and had a FANTASTIC time!! Service is on point. They are always cleaning the place, plenty of restrooms to use, spotless clean, and you can find parking anywhere in their parking structures and outside. Whatever that you do and spend time and money on, is valuable and SO worth it to me and so many others. 10/10.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION? Universal City Walk is an interesting place, it's always on the cusp of being…read moretorn down or threatened to be replaced but it's such a classic, how can it be? Stocked with plenty of food spots spanning from fast food to sit down eateries to donut shops and treats galore. You'll find a Hello Kitty Cafe & Store, Voodoo Donuts, Starbucks, Buca Di Beppo, Pink's Hot Dogs and ALOT more. Add the huge amount of gift shops and specialty shops and you cal spend hours here! My personal favorite spots are the Nintendo Store, Universal Studios gift shops, and the NBA Store. There's soooo much merch and tempting options. Come prepared to spend, yet practice self-control. Lots of the hubs in CityWalk are pricey, don't expect cheap finds, it's a tourist spot after all. Not in the mood for shopping? There's a movie theater smack in the middle of the action. My parents told me it's gotten a little run down as of late, but it's still open for reason. They have large screens and it's a Universal staple. CityWalk is mostly known as the gateway to Universal Studios Hollywood. You can walk right up to the Universal gates once you reach the end of CityWalk. Some people come in and out of the park to have lunch at CityWalk or an end-of-day dinner. I highly recommend both options. Overall, CityWalk is kept clean and the pavement is consistently power washed. Some shops have better service than others, but I've never really had a terrible experience at any of the stores or eateries. My only gripe would be the industrial food court area. It's a little dated. I've also noted construction, I really hope greed doesn't win and we get to keep CityWalk! I've been coming here since I was a kid.

I believe they open here recently and it's popular. The other place I think is very popular here is Ma's Italian Kitchen which I been to before. The food is great here and customer service is outstanding. I visited the Vons grocery here as well and there 2 Starbucks here (one inside Vons and the actual store). There a decent amount of parking here and I would recommend this shopping center.

Lakeside Shopping Center is anchored by Vons, Bank of America, American Red Cross, Fantastic Sams,…read moreStarbucks, Panda Express, Lotus & Light, Cleaners, more and most recently, Handel's Homemade Ice Cream (HIC). I came to this center to support Handel's HIC Grand Opening Day. I also supported Panda Express. I didn't shop at Vons or at any of the other businesses. It's not a very big shopping center, but it was packed when I was here. Parking was slightly challenging as there are some tight space. Just be careful when backing up and exiting. Hence, 4 stars. I don't live nearby Burbank. I probably may not return back to this shopping center. If I'm in the area for whatever reason, I will definitely drop by to shop at a few of the other businesses within this shopping center. Thank you Lakeside SC!
