From discount favs like Daiso and Five Below... To movies at the Regal Theater on level 2. LA Fitness, Creamistry, Trader Joe's, The Stand thriving great and even more coming soon such as Chick Me Out and Paris Baguette Bakery Cafe, to name a few. Partake in use of their huge spacious parking structure as well as parking throughout the entire NoHo West plaza. A lot of non-structure parking is without restrictions and validation is offered at the theater. The first hour is complimentary. Beautiful art, greenery, murals, attention to details and even a splash fountain. They have plenty sidewalks/walk paths in every direction and space for cars to maneuver in and out. I will say as this place has become growingly busy you may be on a parking adventure for a short while. A few connecting local bus routes via LA Metro near by. I've enjoyed a lot of great places here. The Trader Joe's is so spacious and you never know who you might run into at the movies as I've spotted quite a few famous faces when I do see a film here. Glad to see this place doing incredibly well. Definitely be back again soon!

You have the main department stores with Macys and Nordstrom and the retailer store Target. They're all situated on either ends of the mall. I don't think Neiman Marcus is still open as they're closing stores here and there. I just came for a wander around to kill time but of course the stores calls you in. Window shopping which always lead to actual shopping. With the newer wing that houses all the higher end stores. The original food court still does pretty well but I can't say much with the Topanga social and it didn't last long. You have all your classic stores and then the higher end which this mall does offer a lot. Compared to the other Westfield, it's way bigger and better. There's plenty of parking both with covered structures as well as open lot. A good amount of restaurants surrounding as well as a movie theatre. It's your one stop shop.

Wow, their "Topanga Social" food court is so freakin' cool, a whole separate vibe from the rest of the mall with dim lighting, neon signs, there is live music there at night on the weekends, such a great place for your boys, crew, families, and especially date nights. A fun time for all, I would highly recommend!

My favorite mall ever! Is this party because it's a mere 10 minute drive away from my house?…read moreProbably... but that being said I love the Northridge Fashion Center. I enjoy getting a drink occasionally from Agua Cabana on the second floor, and the perfect mall snack is an Açaí bowl from Bearies on the first floor. My favorite stores include - Pop Mart, Box Lunch, Sephora, Bath & Body Works, Miniso, Hot Topic, Hollister, Old Navy, Journey's & Sophi's Cosmetics. It's a smaller mall but it's local & always a solid place for a hang out. There is also many on site restaurants that I enjoy such as Yard House, LongHorn Steakhouse, California Pizza Kitchen & Red Robins. There is also an Escapology located here outside the mall which is great as an interactive experience. The workers I've encountered here are typically very friendly & the mall is kept very clean.

It's a smaller mall compared to others nearby which tends to have more stores. If I'm here it's for either one or two stores or to just walk around to see what there is available. This visit was for something simple that needed to be done. Which I knew that they had a certain store. Surprising it was pretty busy for a Monday. Mind you it was a holiday and kids are off of school. But to see this place pretty lively was amazing. Each visit, tends to alway be pretty mellow. The stores aren't quite the same as they used to be. Loads of the stores that once thrive have faded away. But something new would takes its place. Hopefully they'll last for some time. I did noticed that the food court does seem to have some interesting vendors. Plus there's a new Panini Cafe at the old Red Robbin's location. It's quite big which I was surprised to see walking in today. They have both an indoor patio as well an outdoor patio. The mall isn't what it used to be. The bigger chain stores have gone or either went out of business. Macys is still there which I'm quite surprised. Regardless, people are still going to be buying whether it be a new store or an old one.

I have been visiting Sherman Oaks Galleria for way too many years. Since my son was probably 6 or 7…read moreyears old. We have a lot of great memories and photos at this place. It has a lot of different types of restaurants, a gym, Burke Williams (massage parlor), a movie theatre, that's huge. Unfortunately some of the places have been shot down like Frida, that used to be El Toritos before, Starbucks that is VERY IMPORTANT to some people, (not to me), plenty of other Starbucks's on every block is no longer there. Cheesecake Factory, along with so many other eateries, a snack shop, along with Buffalo Wings, P.F.Chang is still there. I am not going to name one by one what's there and what's not. All I can say is that everyone over there starting from the security guards are nice, helpful and friendly. It's a big structure based on 3 stories. Same goes for parking. Yes, I agree with some of the Yelpers that the foot traffic has diminished a little bit. That also depends what day and time of the week you go there. I was there on 6/17/26 around 12:10pm and there were a lot of people everywhere. Established back in 2001 and is till a nice place to go solo, date night or have tourists visiting this lovely, big, charming Sherman Oaks Galleria.

The Sherman Oaks Galleria is very nice and inviting, but sadly, it lacks energy; during a recent…read morevisit, we found the mall empty of visitors. It was a strange aight indeed.

When I lived near here, I would come to The Grove often because Barnes & Noble had celebrity book…read moresignings. There was Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Jim Carrey even stayed hours after he needed to until he had spoken, taken pictures, and signed books for every single person who had waited in line for him. However, after the COVID pandemic they've noticeably stopped coming. Still, The Grove is a nice place to visit because it is so polished and touristy. There's the dancing fountain, free trolley, movie theater, shops and restaurants. Meanwhile, The Farmers Market is right next door, so you can easily walk there as well. It's a good place to kill time. Some stores are a bit on the pricey side, though. The trolley is a bit silly since the ride is so short. It takes longer to wait for the trolley than to just walk from one end of the mall to the other. It is a free novelty, though, so if you have nothing better to do, might as well. Recently, there was a parade and festival at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and I noticed several other people like me walking from there to The Grove since it's only around a 20 minute walk up Fairfax Ave. I think people decided to walk since parking at LACMA is $23 no matter what and we didn't want to pay it again. Parking at The Grove isn't cheap either, but it's easy and convenient since it's a huge multi-story parking garage with digital numbers that tell you how many spots are available on each level. My go to restroom is at the top level of Barnes & Noble, but there's also one at Farmers Market. The views of The Grove from the upper levels of Barnes & Noble are nice. There's also an onsite cafe on that level. Meanwhile, this Barnes & Noble is apparently one of the biggest in the US. Around the holidays, they put up one of the tallest Christmas trees in the US. They hang flying reindeer and a sleigh above the dancing fountain. They also put up a Santa house in the middle of the street where you can take pictures with Santa for a fee. One of the changes I didn't like around the dancing fountain, which is one of the few spots with trees and shade, is that they roped it off so that it became outdoor seating for the restaurants whereas before it was open to anyone. Even though I don't live near here anymore, I still end up visiting every now and then because of nearby festivals. At this point it's so familiar to me that as another reviewer had said "It's an LA staple."

Of course the main focal point, the water fountain and little park. There's plenty of parking in the massive covered parking structure. There's also valet at the lower level which is easier in my opinion. You can also park where the farmers market is but they have their own validation system. It's a pretty decent size shopping area which is all outdoor. The main department store which is Nordstrom and then you'll have all the other smaller chains stores. Plenty of dining options, more on the dine in style. If you're looking for something quick and easy, there's the farmers market a couple minutes walk. Of course there's the movie theatre which is great. The whole grove concept is similar to the Americana which is larger. Dining options, shops and of course the fountain. It's a staple in LA that's worth checking out.

They have various mall classics such as GameStop, GNC and Starbucks For eats you have OneHawaiian BBQ, Blaze Pizza, Chipotle and In N Out to name most There's Petsmart for your pet needs.

Great affordable clothing, comforts, services and food. It stays busy, but rarely feels overwhelming. It's very close to the Van Nuys Train Station for the Amtrak + MetroLink and being off Van Nuys Blvd it's connected to a lot of local LA Metro busses/services like LADOT DASH.

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.
