    Great patio
    Juliana P.

    Lots of restaurants like poke, Starbucks, and flame broiler. They've got some shops like T-Mobile and 7-Eleven. Lots of outdoor seating and central location right across from the John Wayne Airport.

    Look by the chair on the right, that's not a rock

    This is one of my favorite outdoor malls in the Orange County area for mall walking. As it is…read morelocated near the beach, the weather is always nice and there are plenty of places to sit and rest your feet at this mall with a nice view of the beach. The mall does tend towards high end stores with a small smattering of standard stores but in general, there are a wide variety of stores. Plenty of dining options from high end or quick casual. You can even do your grocery shopping here as there is a Whole Foods market. They occasionally have special events. I happened to be here during the Lunar New Year event so one of the areas was decked out with Year of the Horse decorations. I also always walk by the Koi pond to see how the fishes are doing. Staff has always been friendly and helpful when I visit.

    As outdoor mall in the affluent community of Newport Beach, Fashion Island opened in 1967, making…read moreit one of the older malls in the area. It's had it's share of anchors leaving (think Circuit City and Forever 21), but the owner (Irvine Company) continues to pour money into it, to keep it fresh and relevant. As an example, when Forever 21 declared bankruptcy and closed its store in 2019, the building was demolished in 2022 to make way for a new Restoration Hardware gallery store...which we found to be quite nice. Parking is plentiful, (mostly) covered, and free, with a pedestrian bridge on the 3rd floor taking one to the main part of the mall. And it seems to be one of the most dog friendly malls in the area, which is saying a lot. One will see a lot of signs for something called 'The Lot', which is a high end, ultra-luxury, cinema/cafe/restaurant, geared towards the clientele that the area feeds.

    Parking, the worst. Food options, the best. I live fairly close to the plaza, so walking over there…read moremakes it a lot more enjoyable. This plaza has really good options like Chubby Cattle, Haidilao, CoCo Ichibanya, Kickin' Crab, Sunright, etc. There's also an HMart here too! During peak times like weekends and nights, the parking situation is pretty wild, but there are three parking options: parking lot in the plaza, parking structure, and an extended/overflow parking on the other side of HMart. Most places in this plaza is pretty expensive, so you'll likely spend about $20-40 per person at any of the restaurants.

    tl,dr: horrendous shopping area. but good restaurants…read more Likes: + This Shopping Center houses an awesome selection of restaurants like Pepper Lunch, Coco Ichibanya, and MeetFresh. Non-likes: - This large shopping center has only 3 entrances/exits, 2 of which are tucked away. So if you're looking to dine somewhere deep in like at Pepper Lunch, you have to navigate through abundant pedestrian and car traffic to find parking first. The floor plan designers should've included 1 or 2 more exits closer to the Alton Pkwy & Jamboree Rd intersection. - And parking is often horrendous throughout the whole day. From lunch hour to dinner hour, parking is almost always packed. You can expect to spend up to 10min seeking parking during the worst hours of the day. Even the parking structure in the back isn't sufficient during rush hour. - The back alley that passes by the church is riddled with horrendous, tall speed bumps. Awful on your car's suspension. They need to smooth out those speed bumps. Better yet, remove them entirely. They're not needed. - Also, many entitled drivers in the parking lot. For example, when they're at a stop sign and you're driving through the intersection because you don't have a stop sign, they jut out and almost collide with you. And if you honk, both the driver and the passenger in the other car will freak out and make a face at you as if YOU'RE the weird one. It may be worth the investment and mental peace to seek lunch elsewhere. - The center parking spots of the parking structure smelled like old urine. Parking there is a lil secluded, but boy does it reek.
