we've been coming to Harkins since it opened, it's a modern theater with recliner (reserved) seating. Customer service is good, and the food is actually pretty good for a movie theater. I personally enjoy the salted pretzel the best. Pro tip- if you just want concessions snacks (candy), try ordering at the bar rather than waiting in the main concession lines, sometimes the bartenders there can get you what you need. The seats and theater floors are clean, which is huge when you really just want to relax and enjoy a movie. I've never had a problem with lighting, sound or the projectors. Harkins is definitely our go-to theater. read more

There are only four Harkins Theatres in CA (Moreno Valley, Redlands, Chino Hills). I've been to the ones in MoVal and Redlands. This was my first visit to the Cerritos location and it was fabulous. The customer service was excellent and it's pretty clean throughout. I saw The Death of Robin Hood, which was kind of boring. It was mainly violence, then it ended, lolz. I appreciate Hugh Jackman, but the story failed to entice me. read more

Staff is friendly. Compared to Cinemark which has heated seats, cleaner environment, and fresher, quality food/snacks this place needs some work. It's closer to home and friendlier staff than Cinemark but the food and environment is not recommended. No heated seats, very messy, dirty. Even Icee isn't sweet. Popcorn super stale. read more

My go to movie spot as it is reasonablly priced and located supser close! Parking is always busy during peak movie viewing times and most the day, but that is expected since it is part of the mall. However a little bit further parking with a slight walk is no problem for me as there is always parking a little ways down. I dont have a good to snack, but a good rotation for snacks I like is the the nachos, pretzel, or the popcorn! Definitely do love their candy deals too, but I dont always get the candies. read more

I love this movie theater. It's clean, comfortable seats, and great screens and sounds.

First time coming to the new Harkins Theater here in the Cerritos mall area and honestly this place is great. Ever since they remodeled the movie theater, it feels super modern and comfortable. The seats were honestly one of the best parts. They recline and have that soft cushioned sofa-style feel which made the whole movie experience way better. The picture quality was great, the sound system was solid, and overall the theater just felt really clean and well kept. We kept it simple and just got popcorn and a large soda to share. Honestly, it was more than enough for both me and my wife. We asked for an extra container so we could split the popcorn, and I loaded mine up with butter while she kept hers plain. Small thing, but the staff was cool about it. I also liked the location. It's right by Cheesecake Factory and the whole Cerritos mall area, so there's plenty to do before or after the movie. I noticed they even have a bar inside which looked pretty nice. Next time I go, I'm definitely showing up a little earlier to grab a couple drinks beforehand. We didn't try the food since we had already eaten, but the pizzas actually looked pretty good, and I saw they also have burgers and chicken sandwiches. Overall, this is honestly a really good movie theater and definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

First time coming here as a visual, impaired and blind movie go over. I have to say that this is an awesome spot. The headphones with audio description were off the hook. Definitely coming back again. Hans down. read more

Good location! Came to see the new Super Mario Galaxy movie that everyone and their moms and grandmothers were complaining about (THE MOVIE WAS FINE, GOOD, BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE, IN MY OPINION). I came with a large group of my friends and personally showed up pretty late as the ads started running before the movie started. It was a bit hard to get parking since it's a part of the Cerritos mall and was a Friday evening, so I had to walk a bit. But despite running late, I was able to get in, use the bathroom, and get seated really, really fast. read more

I never go to the movies anymore because like most people I do streaming. But, I am a fan of the Scream franchise, so I went to Harkins Theatres in Cerritos to see Scream 7. There was no line at the box office, we chose our seats and I received a student discount with my college ID. Since I still had time before the movie started, I bought popcorn and a Slurpee at the concession stand. The theatre was clean, I found my seats easily, and there was more than enough trash cans when you exited the theatre. I was hesitant to leave the comfort of my own house because I was afraid it would be too crowded or loud. But, I had a really great time and enjoyed the movie! read more

Another great Matinee Movie at Harkins. I love how easy it is to search movies, selecting seats, and tickets on the App. This theater is always very clean. The reclining seats are very comfortable. There isn't a bad seat in the house! Weekday Matinee are nice and a treat, very few people in the theatre. Popcorn is always freshly popped! read more

This used to be my go-to movie theater. It's big and spacious, and all the seats are recliners. However, I feel like the quality has gone down. There have been multiple times when the seats weren't working. Also, the ICEE machine doesn't work sometimes. Either get it fixed or buy a new one. There's no clear concession line. It's more like you line up for whoever is available. And if someone opens at the other end and yells that they're ready, by the time you get there, someone else already gets in line. I went to watch Mario Galaxy opening weekend, and the screen wasn't working. They gave us a refund and a free ticket to use another time. It was a hassle because we had a large group. We had to pick another showing, and we all didn't get to sit with each other. What sucked was that we'd bought a lot of food to eat while watching the movie, but we had to wait another hour for the other showing. read more

Still my FAV theater hands down! Came for the Jane Austen Series they had going on. The recliner seats are unforgettable! (So comfy) Popcorn on point with the laying of butter! Love all the other snack options they have. It's just a great theater with friendly staff. Restrooms are always clean and smell good. Overall, you're just destined to have a solid movie going experience! Love this place so much, fr! read more

Love the location. Plenty of parking. Bar area available and comparable prices. Did not like how the concession line is handled. One person taking and filling the orders takes ALOT of time.

We had a movie cutout halfway through and waited about 20-30 minutes for it to come back on. Afterwards we were given complimentary tickets for a future showing. Finally went back today and they claimed someone else had used our tickets and they couldn't do anything to help us. Long story short, we've been to this theater twice and both times were beyond disappointing. Would not go back. read more

Very easy to get an movie ticket from kiosk. Theatre was very clean and spacious seat. It was very comfortable seat and enjoyed watching action movie before heading back home. read more

Came to watch He-Man yesterday and literally had a panic attack. I forgot my phone in the theater and went up to the entrance and luckily the manager Giovanni was up there to assist me. He did everything he could to calling his associates and then he continued to escort me back to my seat. He was just as concerned as me and thank god I found it under the seat. He really helped and I was really thankful he was there to assist me finding my phone. We always come here and have even more of a reason to keep coming back. Thanks again Giovanni!!! You're the man, keep up the good work read more

Although it's a bit of drive for us, we still make the effort to see a movie here. It's the best theatre around without debate. It's relatively new and built for the luxury experience, unlike most other theatres that converted from the old school layout. The theatre i big, 16 screens with a large concession area. The highlight is the bar/lounge area which is never full. The bar is beer and wine only. The theatres themselves are spacious with plenty of room to walk without having to crawl over anyone. Seats are comfortable and everything is always clean. Another nice thing is that there are plenty of dining options nearby for before or after a movie. read more

As someone who loves going to the movies, Harkins is one of my favorites. Beautiful theater, but what made this trip even better was the attendant Connor! He was so so kind and was so patient with my family and gave us so many wonderful options for our snacks. It was genuinely an enjoyable conversation and my whole family and I won't forget it! Thanks Connor! read more

I have to say Harkin's has remained a well maintained theater since it has been open. The best part of seeing a movie here is it is one of the cleanest theaters I have experienced and staffed well. My husband and I saw Avatar Fire and Ash in Cine XL and if you know that is a long movie but with recliner seats you forget you're seating for such an extended period of time because you can put your feet up. The concession stand offers nice options compared to other movie theaters. read more

Went to see "The woman in the yard". Not your typical blum house movie. Incredible all around, a psychological thriller that was well executed. The review is for the theater. Great service, clean, comfortable seats, awesome sound. Every interaction I had with the staff members have been a pleasant one. Good leadership shows through everyone in their team. Highly recommended read more

We absolutely loved our movie we saw. We watched Moana 2 with 4 little kids, all under 5. We all loved the RECLINING SEATS!! Those are a game changer! They were so comfortable and the kids loved playing with the buttons. Lol. We had some rewards so we got a free medium popcorn and upgraded for like $3 to an extra large which comes with a free refill. We got both so that we don't need to come back. Everything was super nice and we even had extra seats since the movie theater wasnt packed at all. Overall it was a great experience and we'll definitely come back to this one. read more

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY $5 Concessions Credit for Rewards Members I don't watch movies often, but when I do, Harkins Theatres Cerritos is my go-to. Both for proximity & amenities. The staff have been cool, too. One time, I dropped my phone under the reclining seat during Godzilla x Kong, and the cleanup crew helped me locate it. Word of advice - don't look underneath the seats. It's filthy! Think old cartoons/Three Stooges where they brush dust & dirt underneath rugs and/or beds. For my $5 Birthday Month Concessions Credit, I asked the person letting moviegoers in if I could solely redeem my promo without watching a movie. She replied in the affirmative. Thinking the promo wasn't valid for the bar, I had to try, regardless. Perturbed, but not surprised, I couldn't use the $5 for alcohol, so out of all the concessions, mozzarella sticks seemed a good choice. Mozzarella sticks- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=24&select=rWAdfaxxw0LUpXA34fT8YA 4 mozzarella sticks, accompanied by marinara & ranch dip. Great cheese pull! My snack was served piping hot, and was what I expected. A fine snack. Harkins Theatres, I would be a more frequent visitor if modern movies didn't suck so bad & prices weren't so high. The times I do catch a flick, I've always been satisfied with my moviegoing experience. Highly recommend! read more

This was the last time I will go to the movies at Harkins Theatres at the Cerritos Mall. My daughter wanted to see the movie Backrooms, so we decided on Cerritos Mall Harkins. We visited the concession stand and purchased a large soda and a large popcorn. During the movie, which I found very entertaining, we stopped at the counter to get our free refill of popcorn. The employee (DJ) asked for my phone number, so I gave it to him, but I asked why he needed it for a refill when I did not give my phone number when I purchased the initial popcorn. The employee said that he had to go get his manager. When the manager, Mitchell Siersma, walked up, he said that I could only get a refill if I had Harkins Rewards. I shared with him that I was not told this when I purchased the popcorn. He said that I had to download the app and become a member to get the refill--If I had known this, I would not have paid more for the large to be refilled. Therefore, I stated that the employee that initially sold me the popcorn should have notified customers that they need to purchase the app to receive the refill. He just stared at me with an odd smile, so I asked the manager for his card, so I could make a complaint, but he said that he did not have one. When I got back home, I disclosed to my son what had occurred, and he revealed that the same happened to him at the Cerritos Mall Harkins last week. We will not be back. Very disappointing! read more

Harkins Theatres is the largest family owned theatre chain in the country. I came here to watch Thunderbolts* and didn't realize they actually have wines and craft beers on tap to enjoy before, during or after movie. Their leather reclining seats were really comfortable. Clean men's restroom too! The biggest downside was difficult parking due to popularity of the Cerritos Mall, but overall I had an enjoyable time and I can see myself re-visit this movie theater again. read more

This is literally my go-to movie theater, me and my husband come here at least every month (or even twice, three times). We actually went two Fridays in a row already and 2025 just begun haha. Always a great experience here. I love love love their popcorn, like I swear sometimes I go, just for the popcorn :') It's also great that they have the loyalty cups for 3 dollar refills. We always save these and take it with us every time we go to the movies for our Diet Coke. They have a good amount of stuff in the menu as well, we eat dinner here at times during our movie when we don't have time to grab a bite before the movie. Love their chicken tendies and mozz sticks! They have a bar too, which I've never tried but it's a nice touch. Service here is pretty decent as well, I haven't really had a bad experience with any of the workers. Keep it up everybody! read more

Came here to see The Thing on the big screen in theater 2 with a friend. Never seen the movie before and probably would have lost interest if I saw it in a standard theater. The sound was excellent and the remastered version didn't feel super out dated. This theater is located at the mall so there's plenty of parking out front. read more

Great movie theater, nice and clean. Food is great as well. Seats are very clean compare to other places.

Consistently providing excellent customer service! We realized that we purchased our tickets for the wrong day. When we called, Jacob assisted us and immediately canceled and reissued our tickets for the correct day. Thank you, Jacob! read more

Eric the bald guy was rude. He saw this couple ( guy and girl) cut us in line and still decided to help them instead of us. Made us miss 10 mins of our movie by the way. He felt kinda sexist since we were all girls and decided to ignore us. Mary Jane on the other hand was amazing and kind. She actually knows how to treat customers. read more

pizza was dog shit what the hell is that it look weird and it smell funny will NOT be getting it again!!!! slushie fire doe

Slowest workers in the world. My movie started at 6:15, got there at 6:10 and waited in line for 30 minutes to get my food when THE LINE WASNT EVEN LONG. When I was standing in line for my hot dog for 10 minutes I asked the girl if my number had been called....all they had to do was get my fucking hot dog out the oven..it was already ready. They had me wait in line and miss the first 5-10 minutes of my movie. I've seen many of them just daydream while doing their job and they actually walk so fucking slow. Please do better because there is no excuse. This is ridiculous. read more

We enjoy coming here and using the app makes ticket purchases very easy! read more

Love this theatre. It's always so very clean, smells fresh and it's right next to restaurants. The unfortunate part about my most recent visit was because it was an early 10:00am showing the bar was not open until 11am. Neither one of us was going to walk out in the middle of a movie to the concession area. Everything should be open and accessible to any paying customer during business hours otherwise note it on the website so it gives us the choice. read more
