This Nordstrom rack is pretty big. It seems to be unorganized a lot of the times when I come here. There's a lot more clothes and stuff than the Huntington Beach store I usually go to, but yet I don't always find things I want compared to the other one. I like to come here when they have Clear the Rack sales, but it's always so crowded during that time that I find it hard to find something nice since a lot of nice items are taken. No complaints though since everyone comes here to find designer brands for a cheaper price. The staff is nice and are helpful unless it's holiday season and some of them don't seem like they really care to help out. But other than that, they're pretty nice during the rest of year. read more

My favorite store to buy dress shoes! I come here about twice a year and buy about 3-4 pairs of shoes for around $30-40 each. Can't beat the selection and price. Then when they are all worn out I go back for new ones. I don't see the point of paying $200+ for a pair of shoes. No one can tell and they get scuffed up just as quickly. read more

Will not do an exchange without a receipt. I was given clothes that do not fit my son and I'm very disappointed they were not willing to accommodate me in any way. I will make sure to tell all friends and family not to shop here for gifts in the future :/ Nordstrom apparently no longer prides themselves on customer service. read more

are you willing to dig through designer denim and go on a hunt for shoes? if so, then this is the place for you. its always a hit or miss for me. sometimes i find tons of goodies, then there are days when i drive home with nothing. i get most or should i say all of my designer denim and handbags here read more

i saw this rebecca minkoff purse that i REALLY like at a nordstrom rack nearby my house but there were scratches on.... it was the last one but the sales associate there didn't want to give me extra discount on.... booo.... so i decided to come here and boy......... they got TWO for me to choose from and they are brand new looking, even have the dust bag inside!!!! woohoo!!!!!! read more

this site has a large selection and the line although appearing long always moves along quickly.

They have a great jewelry and accessories section here, but not that great of a shoe section. I didn't check out their clothing, but it does seem pretty popular, and this is definitely a popular location. On weekends, the lines for check out are ridiculously long. read more

Great place to find some premium denim -- although there's a sign that you can only try on 3 and buy 3 at a time. What a bummer! Bought a pair of 7 For All Mankind for like $45. I was shocked at how well they fit. I didn't need to get them hemmed. Yippee! It's so difficult for a typical short Filipino girl like me to find jeans that fit me. The only bummer was when I looked at the receipt, I noticed that the jeans were actually crops!! Yes, these "crops" came down to my ankles. Very sad. Ended up returning them with no problems. Went to the Brea location this time and picked up a pair of True Religions for $99. Still gonna have to get them hemmed -- either that or get my legs stretched. But for safety's sake, I'll get them hemmed. BTW -- Please don't complain about how messy the store is. These are off-priced items. If you want to save money, then you're gonna have to dig. They don't pay people to make the racks look nice and pretty. If you want pretty, go to Nordstrom and pay full price. read more

"The Rack" (as my friend Rachel refers to it) hasn't ever really knocked my socks off. I'm not one to really care about labels so I don't get excited to come here. I've found a few random things but nothing super special. My friend swears by the designer department. Tonight I found a pretty awesome top and the perfect plain black button up cardigan. Not bad. One thing I don't understand is why they sell Neutrogena and haircare/nail polish products. They always have. Neutrogena is a drugstore brand. It's not even really discounted at the Rack. I think it kind of cheapens the store to see them selling drugstore items. Now, if they were selling slightly discounted Nordstrom makeup counter brands, that would be AMAZING. I'll keep dreaming. read more

definitely my favorite Nordstrom Rack location, hands down. sure, it can get busy at times with a ton of customers, and yeah it can be a mess, but what do you expect for an off-price store?! if you're looking for designer clothes at significant discounts, then don't complain about the crowds or the mess -- you're not the only genius to think of looking for a bargain. this location is huge, probably the largest Nordstrom Rack i've been to, with an extensive selection of merchandise, from designer denim and clothing, to designer shoes, accessories, and fragrances. definitely a much better selection than other Nordstrom Racks. this location has the widest variety of designer denim that i've seen, and i've purchased at least 2 pairs at half (or less than half) the original price. because it gets so busy, it tends to be a hodge podge (as any off-price/discount store gets), so if you're brave enough to go, make sure you have at least a couple hours to spend just browsing, but for optimal shopping, plan to spend a few hours so you have plenty of time to peruse the racks amidst other customers. read more

This is the largest Nordstrom Rack I've been to.. Their designer shoes selection is the biggest of all the nordy racks... They have the biggest selection too... There is a 2 story parking lot, but on weekends and holidays parking can be difficult to find... read more

I love NR, no matter what their location they always have the great finds at a decent price and the place is always neat and clean inside.

This Nordstrom Rack is huge, which means more selection, especially for men. They have great deal on shoes, clothes, and accessories. No need to go to Men's Macys anymore! read more

I came here to check out this place to see what they got compared to the Nordstrom Rack in Oregon. Over 75% of the store is dedicated to women's apparel which left a fairly small men's section. The clothes are neatly sectioned with the names of the designers displayed which made locating clothes easy. It's in a convenient area next to South Coast Plaza and they do have some great bargains on more upscale clothing. If you're looking for some casual designer wear for a nice bargain, Nordstrom Rack is a great place to hit. Another place that's great for bargains which is a bit more upscale than Nordstrom Rack is Off 5th (sister store to Saks Fifth Avenue). read more

Great selection on jewelry and accessories. Clothing is a hit and miss. Its under construction at the moment.

Most nordstrom racks are like treasure hunts for me. This particular site has a great deal of designer brands, and I'm not sure if that's because it is trying to cater the rich, as it is located next to South Coast Plaza. Regardless, I always seem to never leave this place empty handed. Look thoroughly, there's tons of treasure to be found at this location. read more

Sorry to all the haters but for real this is the biggest nordstrom rack ever. It is no better or worse then others in terms of lay out or general total insanity, but it is bigger with better stuff and more of it. You could shop here and pack a suitcase, fly to europe or asia or wherever and just sell it. Especially if you were buying with euros or whatever- any currency other then dollars basically. read more

Great selection! Long line, usually. Have to decide if prices make it worth your wait. Line moves quickly. Check back often for new merchandise. read more

This is my favorite Nordstrom Rack!!! Great selection of women's clothes and shoes. They also carry a great selection of suits for men. Great place to shop! read more

Really good selection. If you need hemming, ask for Mia!

Had to write a review solely for the amazing customer service I received from Robert/Robby. I found a sweater that was so cute but the stitching fell apart at the bottom so I asked for a discount. He brought it to the back of the store and 10 minutes later, the sweater was sewn! Really nice and friendly guy. Surprised I could get such good customer service from a discounted store. Their clothing from the sale section are good deals as well. read more

Best customer service I have ever received at this Nordstrom today Unfortunately I forgot the ladies name but she was older and at the register she was so kind and nice I don't live around here at all but I would defiantly come back because of the experience I received today if I am in the area read more

I Came to the store day after Christmas for the deals and a return. An employee came to the front door who appeared to be the store manager but I can not confirm this. There were 20-30 people outside waiting at 9 AM for the store to open. Google maps website said they open at 9am. Saks outlet next door was opened at 8am the day after Christmas. This employee told 20-30 waiting customers that she was sorry and that they opened at 10am. To turn down 30 people's worth of business is a really bad call. I love this location but I'd say I'm a bit disappointed. I'm shopping Tustin from now on... read more

My all-time favorite Nordstrom Rack in Orange County. They always have a big selection of designer labels and I always find good deals here. Once I scored Christian Louboutins for $250 at this location. The staff here is also great and is very attentive. Highly recommend this Nordstrom Rack read more

I like Nordstrom Rack. But this location isnt really organize well in my opinion... Selections werent great either.. I havent come out with anything yet. read more

My favorite Nordstrom Rack out of any I've ever been to. Over the years I've found some great deals here and just a generally great selection. My go to place when looking for a new purse or a pair of shoes. read more

I love Nordstrom Rack and expect all of their locations to be hit or miss when it comes to product, but recently this Costa Mesa location has been so busy (which is great for them) but they are severely under staffed causing huge lines and wait times over 30 minutes to check out. Customer service and staffing could use some attention! read more

Definitely good spot to get more stuff with good price. Good deals. I would recommend checking in more frequently

Get there early to get first pick in the good buys.. This place has pretty good selection is is usually well maintained and easy to shop.

If you're going to sell a damaged product to someone who wants to fix the item the fact that an additional discount is not offered is very terrible. So you will sell the same damaged product to another sap that gets taken advantage of. Super disappointed in the stores management. Will be contacting corporate due to selling damaged items. Come on guys. You're there for the customer. Make them happy. Oh and it was the only pair within 30 miles. You going to pay for my gas too? read more

This location has pretty good selection of clothing, and most of the workers there are extremely nice. However, one lady that works at the cashier named Patricia is one the rudest and most condescending customer service workers My family and I have ever come across. Since we do go shopping at this location frequently, and I've had the displeasure of coming across her multiple times; and EVERY single time she's ringing me up she suspects me of switching tags and calls someone over to look at the price double check the tags. I hate having to get that kind of attention when I'm spending my honest money. read more

This has to be the best Nordstrom Rack I have ever been to! It is enormous with a GREAT selection and very efficient (there were 22 people checking out on a saturday and i got out of there in 8 minutes). The clearance section is HUGE and super cute. There is reasonably priced designer stuff everywhere! I think it has to do with the fact that the most successful nordstrom in the world is right across the street. I have never had so much fun shopping in a discount store tbh. read more

Im not a chick so I cant tell you about the girly stuff......But This is a very good place to find discounted mens leather shoes. This is the primary reason why I shop here. Obviously pricing is alot cheaper than the regular Nordstroms. Great bargins and fun to shop when you have the scavenger hunt mentality !!!!! read more

I like their new fast check out with a person in a green tshirt, could use more people to help though, I'd probably spend more if it was easier to check out...always has great deals, beware of some crazy customers though... read more

This is the nicest Nordstrom Rack I have been in and I've been in quite a few. So spacious and everything seems to be so well organized! The employees were helpful and the prices are hard to beat. My favorite part about this store is the fact I don't have to dig through a bazillion shirts in all sorts of random places. The clothing is very well organized by brand and styles, not to mention colors! The shoe selection is giant, although it seemed as if the shoes were kind of just thrown in on top of each other. It would be 5 stars except the employees were sort of hard to come by. Also, the parking seemed to be a bit of a nightmare, but overall I will be returning for sure :) read more

Just playing with my ladies rack. And yes. She lets me have fun with them.

I used to love this Nordstrom Rack because of their great and vast selection of brand named items. I didn't mind driving all the way to Costa Mesa just to visit this store. I got most of my Tory Burch shoes, Burberry sandals , Armani jeans and my Rayban Aviators here. However, lately, it has been a mess! A hot mess!!! I have to literally weave my way through racks and racks of clothes, that shopping became less enjoyable for me. I like going through the racks but when the items are all jumbled together, it is chaos!!! And the shoe department - super crazy!!!! I think I like the other stores better because you don't have to go request for the other pair. Sometimes the line can be very long and the wait, longer. The staff are just ok. There are some who really take their time to help you out but the others, you can say that helping you was a bother to them. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this store! Who doesn't like Nordstrom style and quality for a little cheaper price?! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because sometimes the place can get a little crowded and lines get a little too long....but of course that is expected at a popular place like Nordstrom Rack. read more

One of my favorite Nordstrom Rack stores. I just had to add it to my review list. It never fails, I always leave with a great pair of heels, wedges or sandals. They have a great selection of shoes in my size 5.5! They rotate the clothing their everyday, there is always something you can find. Service here is phenomenal. Confession of a Shopaholic. read more

My favorite Nordstrom Rack. They have higher end and designer items. I've gotten dolce & gabbana sunglasses for a penny! I went today to find baby clothes during the triple points days and ended finding a burberry baby set for only $20. The shoe department could be a little cleaner but besides that I love it. read more
