The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick, which was especially nice while shopping at the mall. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, it's a great place to stop for a delicious sushi meal while you're at the mall. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

It was truly disgusting. I've complained this time and last time this happened (homeless man in one of the nursing stations). There should be security in the corridor, especially given that it is right next to an outlet to riverside drive. Westfield, you need to care more about the families and women supporting your establishment!

I stopped by Soto in Sherman Oaks while I was in the area for a laser appointment (I live in Santa…read moreMonica and rarely make it out to the Valley unless I have something scheduled). I had a little time and was looking for a cute lounge set to wear for work and running errands, so I asked ChatGPT for boutique recommendations in the area and Soto Sherman Oaks was one of the places suggested before I even checked Yelp or Google. That alone made me curious to stop in. First of all, this is an excellent place if you like to shop on your own without someone hovering over you the entire time; no pushy sales energy, which I personally appreciate. I was able to browse comfortably and take my time. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for -- the cutest lounge set. They had it in black, pink, and blue, and I went with the blue one. I also picked up a pair of sunglasses and a really cute choker necklace. They have a nice selection overall -- shoes, jewelry, friendship bracelets, bags, accessories -- lots of fun pieces. The pricing is on the higher side, but the quality definitely feels better than what you'd order online. You can tell the pieces are more thoughtfully curated. The only thing I would mention is that greeting customers when they walk in makes a big difference. When I came in, no one greeted me or smiled. One of the sales associates, Michaela, walked by a couple of times and didn't acknowledge me at first, even when I smiled. It wasn't a huge deal, but it did stand out. Once I tried on a few outfits and initiated the interaction myself, she was pleasant and helpful. The other sales associate (I didn't catch her name) was also lovely. Parking was easy. I found street parking right away. Overall, I had a good experience and found some lovely pieces. If you're in the area and like discovering fun, trendy items without feeling pressured, it's worth stopping in.

First 200 customers received a mini cheesecake from Uncle Tetsu with Uniqlo's logo on it and an Ito En milk tea. A fun taiko performance from Taiko Project to kick things off. For the gran opening weekend, there are special deals on select clothing and if you purchase $99 or more, you'll get a water tumbler Uniqlo branded in red. You can find Uniqlo on the first floor, near the middle of the mall, across from Sephora and Pop Mart (coming soon!) Very welcoming staff in line! The store is pretty big! Having experienced Uniqlo in Japan, every time I visit a store in the US, it takes me back :)

Since I was a little girl, I have been a firm supporter of second-hand clothing/thrifting for two…read moremain reasons: 1) I grew up financially in the poverty bracket and still am not flush with the upper class and 2) I am a fan of vintage, unique finds and the experience that makes the fashion feel exclusive to me versus what is being force-fed by actual retailers. This brick-and-mortar experience (versus apps like Ebay, Poshmark and Depop) comes readily in the traditional sense of thrift stores that are largely on a donation-based model selling items at below-market prices and re-sell shops or consignment boutiques which generally sell higher-end, newer fashionable goods at above-market prices (lower than brand new but not thrift) and are curated from store buyers paying customers for their items which they in turn, sell. Think: Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads, Plato's Closet. 2nd Street fits the latter re-sell distinction and although I am not particularly a fan of this type of model (because I am poor); I recently ventured inside the Sherman Oaks location of 2nd Street. 2nd Street is a Japanese based retailer focused on re-selling premium fashion being birthed in 1996 before crossing globally opening its first US store on Melrose in the City of Angels. It has since expanded to more than 1000 locations worldwide with several in the Los Angeles SoCal area. The Sherman Oaks location holding 5,152 square feet real estate on Ventura Blvd near the intersection of Van Nuys Blvd opened in 2020 (how have I never noticed this store before?!). 2nd Street is definitely a hip vibe with a boutique, urban loft-like feel with high ceilings, cement floors and large, exposed wooden beams. The store is neat-and-tidy and organized with half women's and half men's with also some children's clothing. 2nd Street offers purses, coats, dresses, shirts, pants, hats, shoes... most everything except I did not see any jewelry. Darn. The selection at 2nd Street is definitely fashionable and distinct with some amazing finds: one-of-a-kind pieces, luxury brands, trending fashion houses, etc. However, 2nd Street is noticeably a bit steep on your pocket. The prices are out of my range and the lower-priced goods are either less 'cool' or damaged. I found a cute Princess Polly white dress with cherry motif that was super cheap and then I realized it is because it had stains. Many of these items I can get for far less even with shipping, on Poshmark. The negative of high prices wasn't the pow-point of 2nd Street as this was expected. As seems to be the norm of these re-sell shops; customers tend to be low-balled while they turn around and make quite a profit. Several reviews here state thus and mention 2nd Street telling them to "come back" and make several trips. I experienced this in person with a couple attempting to sell at the register and were severely low-balled as I am an expert at fashion and prices. There was another customer who left clothes, they weren't called to pick up the unwanted items/payment and so 2nd Street took the unwanted clothing after all! Shady!!!!! I also overheard a male associate, after that customer in question left, talking badly ABOUT the customer INFRONT of other customers, I.E. me! These wannabe hipsters and Gen Z kiddos are terrible at customer service and running a business which colored my perspective against the store. 2nd Street seems to offer a much better selection than competitors like Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange so I do recommend it for specialty pieces and occasional shopping but I wouldn't suggest selling to them (you aren't going to make much of a return). Management also needs to address the absence of customer service and rude shit-talking about customers in front of other customers. 2nd Street is best taken with a grain of salt at your own discretion.

We stopped by after work so the rush hour was a bit crazy but made it in time before they closed! We had to loop around since they don't have a designated parking lot and all the street parking was basically full. Managed to find a spot about a block away and not bad of a walk at all. We were mainly here for the Baldur's Gate 3 blind bags for the beautiful oversized d20's but checked out all the other cool stuff they have here! I believe the owner is Mandie and she was super sweet and had great energy when my bf and I dropped by! We managed to pull a Rare (Mizora) and a Rare (Halsin) which was really cool from just buying two packs. They have other cool merch like pokemon, final fantasy, dnd, and even some anime stuff. Highly recommend checking this shop out and supporting local businesses! Great place to buy a gift for anyone. Prices are a bit more than retail but nothing too crazy. Looks like they also have events like card games and art showcases. I know they recently had a Baldur's gate 3 signing which is amazing! Looking forward to dropping by again! IG: @ammysalamii
