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.

It's a nice shopping center anchored by Target, Sakura, HomeGoods, Blaze Pizza, and Panera... just to name a few. I have yet to check out the other businesses within this center. From the outside main streets, it doesn't look like a very big center. Once you drive in it, there's quite a bit for shopping and dining. Cute outside seating in various sections. Abundant parking available. One day, I would like to come here and just walk around to get a better exploration of this place. I may just dine at Sakura for lunch or dinner, shop at Target, and get ice cream dessert at Bruster's. That sounds like a plan! I'll capture some photos next time. Thanks for your patience.

We don't always come this far into town, but when we have, the Town Center architecture and list of shops and restaurants has provided a siren call. We finally answered it a few weeks ago, stopping at Panera Bread. We ended up driving around much of the complex, since we didn't know exactly where Panera was located. That revealed lots of free parking options, and a uniquely shaped center. Will definitely have to come back and explore more when we have more time. I'm always up for a walk-through at HomeGoods, so there's another draw, right off the bat! Luna Grill sounds interesting and worth checking out. Blaze Pizza sits next to Panera Bread, offering another fast casual dining option. The eclectic style architecture mixes a dash of Mediterranean with Craftsman, which takes a bit of doing to pull off, but they've seem to have made it work. It's a mash-up, yeah, that's it! Nice to experience a home town shopping / dining plaza with some innovation and stylish character.

You could spend the entire day here with an array of shops (some of them experiential), restaurants and even a movie theater. The center is well maintained and curated with purpose. The stores are hopping and no doubt these are some important doors representing a slice of global retail brought to you in a beautiful, modern environment. The hybrid indoor/ outdoor feel is very chic and the landscaping and surrounding architecture is atmospheric. It is no wonder that on any given day you will find influencers filming to document their latest finds. There are both luxury as well as mass market retailers and everything in between. While many of the top tier luxury will be found in Beverly Hills, there are still plenty of high end stores. There is also a great assortment of affordable brands too as well as some surprises like The Container Store and a Tesla Gallery. The food assortment here is astounding! Whether you choose a sit-down restaurant or a food court pick, you will have an incredible array of options to choose from. The restroom facilities are also great. They are climate controlled and clean. Love the walls that completely partition the stalls from one another and give you a sense of privacy. The only things I found off-putting about Westfield Century City was the obnoxiously expensive parking and the hopelessly dull pop music that was being piped in throughout the center. It really diminished the ambiance. It's too loud and was very distracting. I don't mind music in public places, but if you are able to lure respectable brands like this center does, please have some finesse and taste about what you play. I feel like the music would have been the same if I had gone to a kids trampoline park. Overall, great shopping center, but the exorbitant parking fees and teenie bopper music selection are detractors.

And after standing there for 20 min and the line moved 2 people I asked if they could call more cashiers up.

That would maybe make sense if there weren't multiple employees visibly walking around in pain sight with the blue necklace, on their phones, doing go-backs, or just standing around instead of helping check customers out. Clearly, staff was there. The 4 they had aren't being used properly. Long lines, poor communication, and zero urgency to help customers. This isn't a staffing issue, it's a management issue.

I'd say I'm going to miss her, BUT I heard they will be opening a new store for their sister brand, La Femme En Noir, that Lisa will also run. Let me just say: she BETTER! To me, she is as iconic to the brand as Micheline herself! These gorgeous clothes will surely be missed, but I'm truly hopeful that the closing of the Vixen brand, will be an expansion of LFEN. It has absolutely been a beautiful experience while it's lasted, and thanks to the incredible workmanship of the Vixen brand, I am confident I will continue to enjoy my amazing frocks for years and years to come. Thank you, Micheline, for making us all feel so gorgeous!

That real bathrooms are available as opposed to ports potties. There is a small food court and a couple of food and drinks stands throughout although the selection isn't super gourmet.
