This mall has changed a whole lot. I have been coming here since I was a baby and it' has changed a lot. I wish they had better stores for ladies but JCPenny's always have great deals. My favorite place to go is Yogurt land always healthy place to get dessert. My favorite flavor is mango and kiwi strawberry and topped with a sour gummy worm perfect for a nice hot day :) PS. they charge more if you eat it there so always say u want your order TO GO.... This mall always have awesome events to attend, always something for the kids and the whole family. The best event they have is free ZUMBA 9am--10am it's fun and an awesome way to loose weight they also have it for kids every 3rd Thursdays at 6pm Make sure you attend the farmers market every Thursdays 10am-3pm I'm there every week with my mom the fruits and veggies are very fresh :) and if your hungry get the bacon wrapped hot dogs yummmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :) They might not have the best stores in the mall but i'm up there all the time enjoying the food and events :-) Me and my sister wasted 5 dollars playing the fun arcade game trying to win a bestbuy gift cards lol fun read more

This mall is pretty empty from one side and full of places to eat on another. They have a JCpenney, Sears, IKEA, Chillies, 24 Hr. Fitness, Panera Bread, Old Navy, Chuck E Cheese, and a GNC just to name a few. :) read more

I come here because my kids like the play area. I can hit up the Target and let my kids run around like crazy in the play area, then get a meal at Panera. The mall is steadily improving and they are bringing in more community events. read more

I enjoy shopping at the SouthBay Pavilion! My favorite stores here include JCPenney, Anna's Linens, Vitamin World, Big 5, and Ikea! I have shopped at this mall since I was a child. I like how they have made many improvements to it over the years. I especially enjoyed the weekly Farmer's Markets and raffles when they used to host them on Thursday mornings. Now I miss them because they have moved the Farmer's Markets to Wednesdays between 1 PM - 7 PM, which conflicts with my work schedule. All in all, I really like to shop here! read more

Pretty decent food court here if you're in the area. I mainly only visit Ikea but i was hungry one day after visiting a client across the street. This place is about 2 steps better than the old Indio Mall in Indio, CA. It is nice to see that the Chuck E. Cheese's i grew up going to is still around. They might have closed the old Big 5 but they put a Target in it's place. read more

I love this mall, sometimes even just to go have dinner. My 6yr old daughter and I absolutely LOVE Five Guys!!!

I prefer this mall because it's not a busy and confusing mall to get around. I only go during early afternoon hence why it's quiet. Not many stores but like how the movie theater is close to me. The Del Amo is bigger but way too crowded and hard to find parking. If you want to do a simple lunch/dinner and a movie..then this is a good place to check out. read more

I'm sorry, but how is this a mall? There is seriously NOTHING to do here. Theres not even a bookstore or a movie theater. Go to Del Amo instead. I would give this place ZERO stars if it were possible. read more

This mall is super ghetto fabulous. I used to be in there every now & then when I worked in that area whenever I got a Hot Dog on a Stick corndog & lime-ade craving. As for the rest of the mall... meh. The remodel made it looks nicer on the outside, but it's pretty much the same ol' Carson Mall on the inside. The exception being the tobacco shop there. Probably the most reasonable place to pick up decent cigars in the South Bay. The new Target is nice, but the new Target in Redondo Beach by the Galleria is way nicer (and HUGE). read more

This mall is reminds me of Del Amo indoor swap meet. It's so ghetto. All the stores sell junky clothes. The Chuck E Cheese smells like kids' feet. I don't even consider. THEE only plus is the near by Target and Ikea. read more

Carson Mall Sucks! They have the most awkward selection of stores. It seems like a hooked up swapmeet. Only one place is more boring than this place and that's the Buena Park Mall. read more

The mall itself is super small. The two biggest stores that they have are Sears and JCPenny. Other thab that they have a couple of jewelry stores and a small food court. I would have to say that outside the actual mall they have better options such as an Ikea, Ikea, and Ikea! I mean who doesnt LOVE Ikea! They also have a wingstop which is by far my favorite wing joint thus far! They have a target as well which is great and convenient and a Big 5. I dont know of those outside stores are considered to be part of the SouthBay Pavilion but they are next to the main mall. They also have a small post office next to the chucky cheese. read more

A staple in the community that's starting to get it's groove back and bless us with updated stores and new movie theater! The addition of target wingstop Jamba Juice panera bread and Buffalo Wild Wings outside make it a great spot for everyone to visit now! Just need a plus size women's store and you'll be on a roll! read more

I used to be a tenant there The management there is the worst I spent $10,000 on the channel letter sign When I took a space in the mall After he approved it you made me change the color of the sign I had to spend another $2000 To show you are rude those people are Do you have way too much ego The manager place like this The mall as a negative energy Nobody there is doing any business Only the movie theater is busy all the time They put new store 21 forever selling older rejected merchandise from the other store Management company trete tenant Wis no respect That is why energy Is very bad you feel it when you walk in the mall Very negative The mall is been run down By management I feel very Sory Roos and Burlington cost factory They are removing in there I don't know how to convince him to go in there they're not gonna do anything any business I predict they will stay for one year and go out of Busines And also been about four months good I'm supposedly getting my deposit back from the store They always make me lie excuses for not giving you that my But I will take them to court Also read more

While at bath and body works I was treated very well. All of the employees were very helpful. My sales associate Mia was exceptionally sweet. I will come back just because she was so helpful and nice. read more

Everyone bashes on this mall but, I basically grew up here! How could I hate it? Sure, it doesn't have the fancy, top-notch stores. Then again, its CARSON, not Beverly Hills for Pete's sake! Love it or hate it, you'll get what you need, no frills attached. This mall suits me just fine. :) read more

If you can shop here without going to the bathroom then by all means come! Bathrooms are always f*cked up, men and women's. Pretty run down mall I don't know why you would even come here anyways... Lots of great places to eat outside of the mall! read more

I saw this shopping center as I was driving home and had to drop in to get a gift for my niece. I was going to get her something from Target but saw there was a Sanrio. Surprisingly the Sanrio Store here has an awesome selection of items. I wasn't expecting to find anything but I ended up buying a few items. Sorry Target, next time. I don't live near by this area but I would definitely come back just for the Sanrio Store to buy more :) read more

On the second of October I went to south pavilion mall. It was around 10 in the morning on a Sunday. I went to spend time with my mom, brother, and sister for my birthday. We went to so many stores such as Sephora, Bath&BodyWorks, and Sears. The mall isn't so big, but it's quite interesting. This actually makes it a bit easier to find the store you would like to shop at. My mom and brother went to Sears to do some shopping meanwhile my sister and I went to Claire's to find her a new nose ring. The jewelry at Claire's is so pretty. Since I don't have any piercings we decided to head to Sephora to see what they had in stock. At the end of the day they took me to Buffalo Wild Wings as a birthday surprise. The mall isn't very big so I would assume it gets really crowded on busy days. Overall this was an amazing experience, the employees were so kind and caring. If we had a question or concern they were more than happy to help. I would definitely recommend this mall to other people. read more

Can i say its SINKING FAST.....! I see them adding all these restaurants around the mall but in the mall is a lot of unfamiliar stores. Reminds me of the BEGINNING of the FALL of HAWTHORNE MALL! Its lot of empty spots/stores other stores i dont know the food court oboy they not gone make it. I walked in and out in 10 minutes not finding nothing i wanted to look at. Oyea a movies just keep watching that'll be a $1.00 movie soon...GOOD LUCK O.G CARSON MALL! read more

Wow talk about bad first impression,walked into the store metro fusion on late Monday afternoon & the worker in the front desk was smoking a cigarette, it was an older gentlemen, I have never experienced that before super turned off by that not only is he tainting the clothes with the smell but I saw families walking around the mall so he possibly passing on cancerous fumes to children and families. 09/01/2015 3:00 PM read more

Small mall easy in an out. A lot of parking good restaurants around coming soon a Payless super store and forever 21.

Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance absolutely crushes this place in every aspect but this area is certainly improving and has potential

I went to this mall going from Daniels jewelers and Kay jewelers on a Wednesday night decided to turn around because it look like a gym class was going on or a dancing class I was guessing it was Zumba. I asked couple people what was going on but I couldn't even hear what they saying and I'm standing right next to them .. My husband and I ordered subway and sat down we couldn't even hear our own conversation We definitely not coming back to this mall... read more

Southbay Pavilion Customer Service has the best help. All the girls there are really friendly and keep a smile. I have never had such a great shopping experience. read more

Recently Fred sand bought this mall and is looking to add a cienma and other stores to the mall which has 35,000 sq ft of space available. Finally we will see improvements in this mall that are much needed, but this will take time. As of now this mall is not great. It lacks a macy's, movie theater, and many other stores. So right now its 2 stars, but i could see it posible hitting 4 stars with fred sand's additions to the mall. Just google south bay pavillion fred sands and read the article. read more

I find it pretty hilarious on how ppl bash on a mall like this. Ghetto? really, do u even know the meaning of the word?? Just goes to show the supply and demand for the name brands, which i honestly do not care for. .... I rate it with a 5 simply because after all the bad reputation it is still standing and I applaud it. read more

We walked in there after shopping at ikea. The stores in there did not particularly interest me, but at least it was cool inside. There is a nice children area for them to run around and burn off energy. I will probably just go to target, ikea, and 24 hour fitness when I come back to shop in that area. read more

Carson Mall is a great place to shop for things you need. It might not be a big mall but it's worth shopping their. An amazing shopping outlet. read more

Boringest mall I've ever been to...I only go there to shop at fashion avenue (girly clothes store)...and to work out at the 24 hour fitness that's by there...but other than that...zzZZzZzZzzzZ read more

very poor... yes my rate to this mall was very poor... first of all, i work with developmentally disabled people here in the City of Carson. i went to this mall today with my clients for their outings... while walking around the mall i started taking pictures of my clients and my other coworkers strolling in the mall "of course with my clients consents" then i was approach by security and stop saying that we are not allowed to take pictures at the mall... i explained to the security that im taking pictures of my clients being out in the community and that i have their permission to do it... i was told by the security that i needed permission from the mall's manager before i could do that... again i asked the security about other pictures people take when their at the mall... there is a million pictures of this mall on Facebook, Instagram, yelp and other social media available online or on the web... the security could not answer... i decided to talk to the manager of the mall to see what the answer will be... after 10 min of waiting in their office was i finally approach by the manager, i explained to her what the situation was and all she can answer was thats their policy and that anybody that takes pictures in that mall will be stop by their security... Seriously!!! this is bullshit... this mall is discriminating on people that is mentally and physically challenge... i saw other people taking pictures of their families shopping at this mall and they weren't questioned... i know that the mall is private property and they have rules but the fact that the only person that was question was me and my clients. Everybody at the this mall carries a camera phone from security, employees to the costumer... Next time post your rules, whats allowed and whats not... read more

Small mall, good parking. Great if you need to run in and quickly grab something. Not a lot of high end stores.

So many great places to eat and shop...Five Guys, Chile Verde, Panera, Sansai. I love old navy and my kids love the play are and kids club

this place sucks! it's like del amo swapmeet in a fancy building. i think del amo swapmeet is better though. they don't really have stores with things you want to buy, they have these little family owned stores with ugly ugly ugly ratchet clothes that i'd NEVER wear. the only good stores in there is probably .. *crickets* um .. Old Navy. it's pretty lame. read more

pretty crappy mall like most of the other reviews have stated. the only decent stores here are target, sears, jc penney, and ikea. the crowd is pretty ghetto during the day as alot of the high school locals like to pass the time here. read more

like everyone else that i agree with this mall is whack..it's really no point to this mall. the only reason to go even in the parking like is for IKEA and wingstop read more

The mall is very small, very few stores. I only come here to go shopping for my daughter at Jcpenney and Old Navy. Otherwise its really nothing to find. read more

I have been a resident of Carson since 1988 and have seen all the several renovations at this shopping site. Each time, the management, in my opinion, has delivered a better shopping environment with popular chains and family oriented services. This latest renovation with the addition of Cinemark Theater is a long-overdue and a welcome venue to the city. In this era of competitive online shopping and decreasing disposable income for families, this mall serves as a welcome alternative for local retail shopping for every budget. Haters should recognize that it is impractical to compare the South Bay Pavilion to the Beverly Center or to Del Amo where the surrounding per capita income can easily afford and covet ridiculously high-end priced merchandise. This mall perfectly addresses the need for quality, diversified merchants, and major retail anchors for middle class residents of Carson and surrounding areas. The City Council is to be commended for collaborating with mall management to attract major retailers (ie. Burlington Coat Factory) and popular trendy eateries in a safe and esthetically pleasing environment. Yes, the mall is small scale compared to others.. but it also has ample parking that is closer to entrances making it easier for seniors, disabled, and families with small children to navigate. As a resident, I appreciate the shopping convenience and the much needed tax revenue the South Bay Pavilion provides to our awesome city. read more

This was my go to mall as a kid, but stopped going for awhile although I live nearby. It looked like an indoor flea market, with an Old Navy and an Ikea. I went there last week and was completely impressed. JC Penney now has a Sephora (not fully stocked but has the basics, which is good because when I run out of products I don't have to drive all the way to Del Amo Mall); there's a movie theater; there's Rue 21; also, Bath And Body Works and Forever 21 Red will soon be there. The food court is being renovated as well. read more

The mall looks great after the recent remodeling and adding new stores like Target. I miss Fashion Bug and wish it would return. Sears, JC Penney's, Target and Ikea are great stores. You cannot control how the people act. There are rude people in every city. read more
