First-time visitor to this mall, and I really enjoyed my visit…read more Some of the big names in the retail world have stores here, which was a nice surprise. Stores such as Apple, Aldo, The Gap, Banana Republic, Bed, Bath & Body, Bloomingdale's, Coach, Express, Hollister, Macy's, Vans, and many others. The mall is a good size, very clean, and well-maintained. The food court was extremely clean, comfortable, and somewhat fancy-looking, with plenty of tables, benches, and chairs to sit and relax throughout the mall. Friendly employees can be seen cleaning throughout the mall, assuring that this place is kept as spotless as possible. Free parking is available both in the parking garage adjacent to the mall and in non-garage parking on the east and south sides of the mall.

This mall has unsafe bathrooms and needs to up their security asap. Today was the second time I…read morewent to the family bathroom and there was a grown man (without a family) in the restroom using it as his private toilet and when he came out he left the bathroom a mess, toilet clogged and all, so the line of children waiting for this jerk couldn't use 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!

This has developed so much since I was here in 2021 and I like the new additions like Nordstrom…read moreRack and LA Fitness. They have a few elevated fast food-ish places like a Mediterranean place owned by Umami. We scored a free parking spot outside the garage so no validation was needed.

I've driven by this mall so many times on the freeway & I finally was able to go check it out…read more Good: plenty of parking, spacious walkways, clean, doggie potty area, big movie theater. Bad: mall is split up with streets running through it, parking is expensive, extremely limited number of stores to actually shop at, majority of stores are located across the Laurel Grove Drive which is quite a walk if you parked in the main lot in the middle of the complex. I only went to Daiso, Five Below, Starbucks because those were the only ones you can shop at in the main part of the mall which is unbelievably weird. It's like this mall had an identity crisis, couldn't figure out if it should be more of an entertainment center (movie theater, restaurants) or shopping center (Daiso, Five Below, Nordstrom Rack). Many vacancies, alot of random stores that you wouldn't go to unless you had or needed to like Spectrum, nail & beauty salons, orthodontist, chiropractor, Verizon, Carbon Health. The main part of the mall is Nordstrom Rack, Starbucks, Daiso, Five Below, LA Fitness. Gnomon (computer graphics, visual effects school) & Regal Cinemas take up the majority part of this section. There seems to be no thought to what a mall shopper would want or wish to go to when they arrive to the heart of a mall. On the "strip mall" area which is across the street and around the corner, there are Ulta, Trader Joe's, mostly cafes, quick bites like Jersey Mike's, Crumbl, It's Boba Time, MOD pizza. Again, only Ulta for someone looking to do mall shopping. Although this mall is modern, clean, great parking structure (expensive but lots of spaces), there's absolutely little to offer. Would I go back?? No way! This is an incredibly disappointing shopping center & if you're hoping to do some retail therapy, go to Sherman Oaks Galleria or Westfield Fashion Square.

Studio City Plaza is where it's at…read more This little big plaza with lots of great favorites including Sephora, Trader Joe's, Blue Bottle Coffee, Mendocino Farms, Crave Cafe, Pinkberry and more it one you'll want to explore. The parking lot is a mini beast with so many people coming and going, but you can luck into a good spot or even close by. Parking is limited to I believe roughly 90 minutes though not super strictly enforced to my knowledge, that said it's good to be mindful. Great landscaping. Good bargains. Delicious meals. Friendly service in every establishment. It doesn't get more Studio City than this hub off Ventura Blvd between Laurel Canyon and Radford Avenue. Still a local favorite, though I do get nostalgic for DuPar's (now where Sephora resides) and now also Crave Cafe which has officially closed.

I stopped by this plaza today to go to Loqui for lunch. My wife joined me so she wanted to go to…read moreCrave Cafe and Athleta as well. Parking is limited here so you'll likely have a difficult time finding a spot if you come in the afternoon. I was lucky to see someone leaving so I got their spot. Some cars like to double park and it's a narrow spot so just be aware. Trader Joe's is here which is likely the reason there a lot of people taking up the parking spots.

The area is really nice, with a cute little walkable shopping center. The store itself is clean and…read moreorganized, and the customer service is very friendly. They have a great selection of big-name brands, and the prices are pretty affordable. The only downside is the parking, but it's not too bad. It would definitely be nicer if parking were free!

I have been to this Nordstrom Rack few times in the past, but not in a very long time. I needed a…read morenice purse and couple of tiny perfumes. When I say tiny, I mean like something close to a perfume that is not too big in size. I was there like 4 days ago and was browsing all the aisles.I noticed how well, neat, organized the store is now; then it was before. A lot of employees on the floor asking questions if we needed any help. Everything was almost 75% off of the original price! Whether it was clothes/shoes, accessories, perfumes, lotions, soaps and/or other household/fashionable items. Brand names and fashionable trends. I really liked this store a lot. Mini version of the actual Nordstrom's that's in the mall.There were at least 3 cashiers working and all very friendly & helpful with the customers. The line was moving pretty fast & I liked that!! It was easy to navigate almost all the aisles. Top notch customer service, store was very clean, plenty of parking shared with a lot of other businesses and take a good look at my purse and the small bottled perfumes that I got under $180.00.(not including tax). Very content and impressed with everything & everyone! Keep up the good work! Will be back again soon.. if & when I am in the area, and/if I need anything else for me, for a gift, or something else.. Hope this store will NOT go out of business!!

This is a nice little shopping center with small retail stores, restrauants and a grocery store…read morethat has a lot of items. Parking can be tricky but once you figure out then it's not that bad. You also get free 90 minutes parking here and have to give the valet people your key because of the way the parking spots work. You might get boxed in or you'll be the one boxing in the other car. The scenery here is amazing with the little ponds and sitting area. The atmosphere here makes you feel like you're at a park. My wife and I came here because she wanted to visited Hoka store to try their comfortable shows. Then she wanted to go to Erewhon to try their overpriced smoothies.

I've taken a few free workout classes at the Vuori here and they've been enjoyable. While I look forward to walking around this chic enclave, I'll echo what some other Yelpers have said: the parking here is an unnecessary headache. I don't believe in paying for parking at a mall or outdoor shopping center. I think it's a petty cash grab. Additionally, as others have mentioned, many of the spots here are tandem. This is gross, even with valet. I'm going to get creative and find parking elsewhere because I refuse to pay for parking here anymore.

The city walk is the shopping and dining area right outside the Universal Studio. No park ticket is…read morerequired to explore this area but still need to park at Universal lot ($40 general parking). They do have shuttle service available too. It's about 5-7 minutes from the general parking lot. The alley is mostly clean and well secured by Universal Staff. Here they have several different kinds of restaurants including Italian, Mexican, Japanese spots. There is NBC sports bar, Bubba Gump, Raisin Cane, Voodoo donut, Habit Burger, KFC and Panda Express. During the day these places are easy to dine-in, but get little busy in the evening hours. Among the stores there's a Universal Studio store that has almost all the merchandise products similar to the store inside. There's also a Hello Kitty store and a cafe next to each other. I was also surprised to find the Celebrity Authentics Hollywood store that had many different artifacts autographed by actors and celebrities. There's also Hot Topic, Show Place, BT21/Line store, Dodger clubhouse, NBA store, and a sock store. Overall a really good hangout place to spend time after spending all the energy in the park.

I've come here a few times throughout the many years just to walk around. This latest time when I…read morewent the other day on a Friday early afternoon in mid-September was the worst. Same restaurants/eateries and stores that most people have in their areas, but some places were closed up. There are a couple different shops though, but nothing one has to see. What I hated is that they charge $40 for parking even if you're just going to the Citiwalk. I went ahead because I'm not here often, but never again anymore unless I'm actually going to Universal Studios. You can walk through the place in 20-30 minutes.

The Studio City Center is a unique shopping center off Ventura Blvd and Fruitland Drive though more…read morepopularly considered nearest to the Vineland interection of Ventura Blvd in none other than Studio City, Los Angeles, California. As a shopping center staple of the 818 it's an "OZ" like hub of some of my favorite haunts in the Los Angeles Valley... Including Vegan Studio, the heart aka hearty eat spot that I discovered in 2020... Residuals, a great divey bar for liquid courage, in the corner of this shopping ceneter and Drip & Roll, the brain or rather brain freeze you didn't know you needed with non-dairy options as well as many classic curds but more so whey like frozen desserts. The parking lot is fairly easy to navigate and usually you'll be in luck, however as more businesses shift back into running at some larger capacity for indoor and/or outdoor enjoyment... Street parking is always your friend and there's plenty of it! Get your haircut, your back kneaded, your nails did and maybe a tattoo via the famous Studio City Tattoo just next door to this perfect plaza of local small biz enjoyment. Don't forget to fuel up at many choice food spots as well like Sushi Dan or Tortas Mexico or my choice pick My Vegan Studio. Many more small businesses just next door and beside here with a big public transit hub for a more green day and central to tons of spots and conveniences... What more could you want!

Celebrities Closets are a "Win-Win-Win-Win' for shoppers!…read more Win #1.- SELECTION: The selection of clothing and accessories, handbags and shoes for women, men (and NEW: dogs!) is wonderfully eclectic with unique one of a kind pieces that you won't see at the mall, or on anyone else! Win#2. -REAL CELEBRITY OWNED TREASURES the store is filled with valuable pieces donated by famous celebrities- both old and new, that truly allow you to walk away with your own couture look worn only by you, and the likes of JLO, Oprah, Idris Alba, and more! Best of all, while the owner is new to Sherman Oaks, she is very well known and connected to Hollywood and the music industries. Lateasha, the owner, is a fixture in the store, always there to help and to let you know who owned the items, and when known, when they wore them. A celebrity in her own right--(the daughter one of the original members of The Temptations), grew up amidst superstars, and she herself was a recording artist with Motown and on Broadway as well. She has SO MANY famous friends and her network supports her by regularly dropping off little pieces of history for you to own! Win #3-PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE! Even though she grew up with a silver spoon, Lateasha is deeply sensitive to the needs of various social economic groups, and wants the average woman or man shopping to have their own little piece of "the Rich and Famous", at incredibly reasonable prices (in some cases downright steals)! That is how giving and kind an operation Celebrities Closet is. Win #4-CHARITY A PART OF EVERY ITEM SOLD! Part of the entire business model of Celebrities Closet- unlike ANY other vintage store in LA, is about giving back. So a percentage of whatever incredibly reasonable priced item you buy is given to the CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE! Where else can you buy couture and feel like you are contributing to amazing places like ST. JUDE'S HOSPITAL, and the JUVENILE DIABETES ASSOCIATION? Even if you don't have a pet charity, a portion will still go to one of the charitable "store charities" such as the examples provided. Think you little purchases won't make a difference? Think again! To date, between their Atlanta store and Sherman Oaks store, Celebrities Closets has DONATED over $500,000 to worthy organizations helping people in need! As if all of these "wins" aren't enough, and the financial donations can certainly explain why not only actors and musicians donate there, but the Studios do too;- which explains the great diversity of selection. BUT WAIT...there is MORE!! EVERY WEEK, DONATIONS THAT DON'T SELL ARE BROUGHT DOWN TO SKID ROW AND PERSONALLY GIVEN TO THE NEEDY!

I thought that I'd have to pay hundreds but she has many things the celebs wore only once for $25! And the shop's mission is the best - items sold help support each stars' charity. How cool is that?

There's about 15 spots in this plaza lot, though it's rarely completely full. Ample street parking all around.

Definitely stop in for all the self care from food to soul, hair to toe.
