The campus isn't kept as clean as it used to be. The center now has several closed storefronts. A lot of them have been closed for several years. The Coco's has been closed for almost a decade. It's ironic considering the newly upgraded UTC mall is literally across the street. So is the new trolley line. That never used to be the case. When Albertson's left, Bristol Farms moved right in. Chipotle and Five Guys ended up being great additions to the center. Roy's was the last "anchor" business to leave the center. It was fairly recent, but I doubt there are plans to replace it. It makes me wonder if the center is going to close down, and is just waiting for the leases of the remaining businesses to run out.

The downside being honest is the parking, usually I find a spot somewhat easily but especially around lunchtime it does get very busy and you may be driving in circles looking for a spot or someone to leave, the good side of that is people come and go somewhat quickly there so spots become available on a regular basis. Overall this place is very clean And offers a bite of shopping while you grab a bite as well !

Inside this district is just sad. Its so open with nothing in it and feels lifeless. I think there should be some couches and plants to offset the ugly flooring. They have a fencing place here. That's interesting. There's nothing that I would come here for but the theaters. The movie tickets are also more expensive here. 17$ for matinee ticket here. So, I will pass on that as well. This place is so dead the service also feels dead. I didn't enjoy being here.

The courtyard is nice, but it's more about seeing and being seen than actual value. Overcrowded and pricey parking doesn't help.

CONVENIENT (4 stars)…read more Clairemont Town Square?! lol. It deserves a yelp review. It has all the basic necessities! Sure, it's just a plaza but a plaza with much potential. Perfect for a local neighborhood plaza with grocery store, banks, some simple shopping, few chain eateries, a boba shop, etc. I can invision this plaza glowing up in the next several years as the neighborhood becomes more appreciated in value thru the coming years. What I like the most were the two banks I use literally near/next to each other - convenient to make physical transfers. Basic shopping for food or to grab a bite to eat after simple errands. Call me old, but I appreciate the convenience of everything being close by and all in the same area. Until the next visit...

My number one reason for visiting is the Ace Hardware store!! We needed to change the locks on our front door so we came here. They had the kit available when everyone else was out of stock.

There's a Burlington Coat Factory, Petco, Michael's, Von's grocery store, Bank of America, Five Below, and much more! Overall, a nice shopping center with many options!

Nordstrom Rack in la jolla is a discount retail store located in the shops at la jolla village,…read moreoffering a wide selection of name brand clothing, shoes, and accessories. Pros: This is a solid spot for finding discounted name brand items if you are willing to look through the racks. There is a decent variety of clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories, and you can sometimes find really good deals depending on timing. The store is organized by section, which makes it easier to browse compared to some other discount stores. It is also in a large shopping center, so it is convenient to pair with other errands or food stops nearby. Staff are usually helpful when you need assistance with locked items or sizing, and checkout is generally quick even when it is busy. Cons: The biggest issue is inconsistency. Some visits have great finds, while other times the selection feels picked over or limited. It also gets very crowded, especially on weekends or during sales, which can make shopping feel a bit hectic. Parking can also be annoying during peak hours since the plaza is shared with many other stores. Verdict: Overall, this is a reliable place for discounted shopping if you are patient and go at the right time. Weekdays or off peak hours are usually the best for selection and a smoother experience.

I am not a Nordstrom Rack shopper. I could count on one hand how many times I have been in one…read moreprior to this one opening. But now that this one is within walking distance of my house I have probably been there close to 10x. Pros about this store. It is clean (probably because it is brand new) is usually neat (doesn't have the unkempt look Ross, Burlington or TJ Maxx has), staff are friendly, it is well stocked. Cons: it seems more expensive than other Nordstrom Rack's I have been to. Maybe it is just the types of items I am looking at, maybe it is inflation but the deals they have did not seem to be that great. I have found better deals online. It is nice to go there to see something in person then come home and order if from another place for less money. One thing I thought was weird about this store (not sure if it is all Nordstrom Racks or just this one due to being new) but they had a pair of Uggs in store that were 99.98. Online on their own Nordstrom Rack website they were 79.98 and I asked if they could price match their own website and they said no. So I had to go home and order them and luckily since it is the holiday season I got free shipping (free shipping online is usually if you spend $89 or more) I will keep popping in here from time to time (get my husband's Jack Black here, as Ulta in the same shopping plaza doesn't carry the size product he uses) and I love all the Tony Moly stuff by the registers is half what it is anywhere else (lotion tubes) as it makes great stocking stuffers and kidlet loves the squish mallow Tony Moly lip glosses.

She told the customer to go to Mission Valley instead and stated that she herself was the manager when asked to speak to one. The customer was understandably upset. Seeing this interaction while waiting in line made me feel unwelcome as well. Later, that same manager was taking photos on her phone, though it wasn't clear why. This isn't the first time I've observed this kind of behavior at this location--I've witnessed similar rudeness twice now. Even though it wasn't directed at me, it still left a bad impression. They could really benefit from better customer service training, especially at the management level.

She walked us through the process and got my custom ring exactly the way my fiancé and I imagined. Multiple CAD designs but got it right. Took a little over a 3 weeks to a month to get the first CAD, another week to perfect and about 1- 1.5 months to finish product and my fiancé had it well in advance. Eden also was able to get my fiancé his own custom ring for a deal with getting 2 rings. The top view doesn't do the flower basket and engraved bridge with cathedral setting justice! Eden was so pleasant that I came back and had them make an engraved champagne diamond ring and engraved wedding band for another great deal.

We booked an…read moreappointment based on their long list of 5-star ratings, and specifically chose Fay due to her positive reviews. When we arrived we were handed off to David (the owner) with no explanation. The appointment felt rushed and impersonal from the start. David didn't ask basic questions like our names, budget, or where we were in the process, and offered little guidance. We are early in the process, so I was hoping to try on different styles to get a sense of my preferences. But after trying on just a couple rings there was no effort to understand my priorities or suggest alternatives. I felt like I had to push just to see more options. Our 2PM appointment was essentially over by 2:05PM. I left feeling sad and disappointed that such an important and special moment was handled with so little care. Before going here, I recommend looking at the other 1 star reviews -- they are honest and I should've listened.

A nice French woman employee (I heard the accent, I said "merci", she was très heureuse &&)... helped me find the current rack location, hidden in the back of accessories. It was a small selection... but among them were several cute pairs that were my style. Got 2 Jones New York, 1 Lucky & 1 other licensed designer I forgot, each for $9.99. Very pleased - and that will hold me for a while, til I misplace or break these. Thanks LJ Marshall's - you're one of the best Marshall's and you definitely have the most staff on the floor to help people find stuff! Also: super fast checkout today! This is definitely a theme here, compared to Solana Beach!
