Stores have been closing due to the lack of business in this mall. At current status, its a Ghostown! Shopping is really non existence. "Its rather creepy." Its a sad situation to see that so many businesses are closing down. There is talk that this mall will completely close for good, maybe a couple of years from now. Rumor has it that this mall will be demolished for condos or some type of housing real estate investment? Overall I would come back! Its probably a good time to shop at this mall now since everything will be in liquidation soon. As for now, every stores is giving some type of discounts. No congestion, no traffic and plenty of parking. The mall is clean. I advise to look out for some deals. I seen discounts here and there that is ridiculously great! Lots of history at this mall. Going to be sad to see when this place gone.

Review #606 2025-095…read more I'm backtracking my review count because the original #606 was for defunct Bird Talk Chicken that "it was removed due to the review & photos posted appears to depict a YEE" (I went back the next day because my fam really loved their food so it's unrelated). Anyways, the last time I've been to South Bay Galleria was in 2019, & dined at a few restaurants & shopped at a few stores: Sunny Side Up Deli & Grill (refer to Review #272), Fresh Splash (refer to Review #273), Cafe Meli Mellow (refer to Review #434), Crazy 8 (refer to Review #372), H & M, Payless Shoe Source, etc. Post pandemic, I only recently visited a handful of times for a Yelp event at French Touch (refer to Review #790), birthday parties at Wonder of Dinosaurs, Urban Youth Parks, & most recently, I went to an event at Orange Door Spaces with fellow mom from SBCS & watched a movie at the AMC Dine-In with my Yelp gal pal, Lily W. South Bay Galleria opened in 1985 & housed anchor stores like Nordstrom, Mervyns, Macy's. I started coming here in the late 1990s when I moved to the South Bay. I noticed declining foot traffic (likely because the food court lines have gotten shorter) since the departure of Mervyns in 2008 or 2009, followed by Nordstrom, & more store closures. Their foot court is on the 3rd level with a handful of eateries distributed on other levels. South Bay Galleria will be undergoing major redevelopment from its traditional shopping mall into a mixed-use complex. News vary from residential units, hotel, with commercial spaces & a parking garage on the surrounding parking lots, with the potential of some original buildings remaining, though a significant portion will likely be demolished to make way for the new development. There's not as much shopping opportunities/retail stores as there are experiences: Battleground (competitive multi-player story driven free roam VR experience), VR Place (10 station VR experience), QuestRoom (escape rooms), Skate Farm (skating rink), Funshare Arcade (arcade games, claw machines, ticket redemptions), Cherished Memories (elective 2D/3D/4D sonogram), Zen Relax (massage). Peekaboo Bin Store might be interesting, a sort of bargain hunt/discount, last chance store. Mall hours are short, & opened from 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM. If you're here for the movies in the evenings, park in the structure & exit at Level 4 to enter the empty mall (I was lucky to run into security patrolling the grounds to learn about this outside Q). I don't feel very comfortable here at night due to the parking lot's desertedness, but am glad to see security both times when I was here at Orange Door Spaces & AMC. I'm not sure if I'll be returning any time soon, but my kiddos are curious about VR & may stop by Battleground or VR Place, & possibly QuestRoom (are escape rooms still a thing?). Sad to see this once bustling mall fade away.

This plaza is running a shady operation by aggressively towing cars to make money. They have a…read moretiny, almost unnoticeable sign at the entrance about towing, and if you don't immediately enter a store after parking, they call the towing company right away. They even have someone secretly monitoring you without any warning. How do they determine who's a customer and when? They don't--they just don't care. To make matters worse, the towing company is within walking distance, so they show up almost instantly. Getting your car back will cost you around $500, making this an outright scam. It's clearly a setup to trap unsuspecting visitors and make a quick profit. Avoid this place unless you want to deal with an unnecessary and extremely costly headache.

It's such a delight to find this corner has finally been upgraded!…read more It used to be such a drabby place. The only place worth going to here was the 99c store, otherwise, there really was nothing else. Then demolition and construction started going up a year or so ago. Popular spots are now occupying and making the most of this prime space: The Habit, BurgerIM, Starbucks, Jersey Mike's. There's even a fitness center. And the good news is they did all this without having to compromise other businesses standing there beforehand: the pet store, UPS, 99c store. Last but not least, they didn't compromise the amount of parking available for all patrons despite all these new and popular trendy spots. And the project isn't done yet - it's looking like there's still some revamping going on. Looking forward to this corner's final look. It's a way overdue (and well-deserved) upgrade. I absolutely welcome this change.

You can do groceries, get bargain buys and get a snack or a meal after all at the same place. The only issue here is that during peak hours (or days) parking can be a challenge! (Most especially on the weekends.) I mean, these spots are pretty dang popular. So, plan ahead, plan accordingly. I never tire of coming through here because not only do the stores carry lots of things I need, it's also pretty convenient. I'm a fan!

If you happen to be around the area and can't make up what to eat, this corner will most likely…read morehave something that will entice your hunger pangs. There's a wide variety of grubbies you can choose from: Japanese Curry (The Curry House), Seafood (California Fish Grill and The Crab Shack), Peruvian (El Pollo Inka), Japanese (Kanpachi and Torimatsu), Hawaiian (Aunties Café and Teriyaki Hawaii), Mexican (Chile Verde Mexican Food), Vietnamese (Tapioca Pho), and if you feel like it, Subway. There are non-foodie businesses here as well including a nail salon, dry cleaners as well as a newly opened animal hospital. These are just the businesses off the top of my head. I'm sure there are few I've missed... Parking can seem insane during a lunch rush because this entire area is wildly popular during the week (ditto the weekend) but if you don't mind a brisk walk, you'll find one. The crowds haven't dwindled in the past couple of decades I've been coming here. There's a reason why this corner is very popular. If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a try. You might just surprise yourself with a discovery!

Even while handling other responsibilities, Stephanie stopped what she was doing, opened the display cases, and made sure I was able to compare different options so I could make the best choice. Her customer service was excellent, and I truly appreciated her kindness, patience, and attention to detail. She made the whole shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free.
