Adj: Marvelous Mall, Superb Shopping…read more Westfield Galleria at Roseville is my favorite shopping mall in the greater Sacramento area. There aren't that many malls in our metro, so we don't have many choices, shopping plazas yes, but malls, no. I grew up going to malls a lot for fun (window and for reals) shopping, for hanging out with my cousins and friends, and I have lots of great memories from all the fun I had at different malls, mostly Arden Fair and Florin Mall, but sadly there's not a lot of malls left. Westfield Galleria at Roseville is by far the nicest in our region so I enjoy coming here. The mall itself is huge, it spans a couple of blocks. No matter which end of the mall you start at, you'll make your way through. The parking can be quite challenging on a weekend, but if you're willing to park up higher in the parking structure or out in the sun, you'll find parking more easily. There's also EV charging for a fee for those w/electric vehicles. There's something for everyone here, from the large dept stores like Macy's and Nordstrom that anchor the mall, to the food court with all the delicious mall foods, snacks, and drinks, to clothing stores, home goods stores, sporting goods, to Daiso, there are so many choices and so many interesting things to look at and try. There are even luggage stores and seasonal (holidays) stores. For those who don't care to acquire more stuff, you can have some pretty fun experiences here as there's the movie theatres and arcades so it's something else you can do rather than just shop and eat. My kids enjoy all the toy stores and when they were little, they loved playing on the Kaiser sponsored kids indoor play structure, which is a great place for some rest for parents and for kids to burn off some energy and get out their wiggles if they're getting restless (or uninterested) in the shopping experience. Overall, Westfield Galleria at Roseville remains a clean, spacious, and well-maintained shopping mall and I hope it stays that way and continues to see new additions to offer different stores and more facilities improvements and updates.

I ordered the duck over rice at KP International Food Court and the duck appeared dark brown, old,…read moreand tasted spoiled. After a couple bites I stopped eating it because something clearly seemed off. When I brought it up to the manager, instead of taking the concern seriously I was told they cook their duck only twice a week and the issue was brushed off as "personal taste." I later received a message pointing me to a sign they have posted saying refunds are not possible due to personal taste. That sign actually raises a bigger issue. When a place feels the need to put up a sign warning customers that they will not address complaints about the food, it makes you wonder how often customers must be raising concerns in the first place. Restaurants that consistently serve fresh food usually do not need to put up disclaimers like that. This was not about personal taste. When meat looks old and tastes spoiled, that is a food quality problem. Calling it "personal taste" does not make it one. That is a problem with the food, not the customer. Instead of acknowledging the concern, the response was dismissive and unprofessional. I have included a screenshot of the message I received so people can see how the situation was handled. Based on this experience, I would not recommend getting food here.

Lots of eateries and vendors in this building that smell and look delicious. I stopped by here for a coffee at the coffee stall, but would love to come back to have a meal. Unfortunately, that evening me and my nephew already had dinner plans elsewhere. There's even a popular brewery near the back and it seems like this place is widely popular with lots of families, enjoying food and beverages in the back outdoor area. Just a fun food hall, which I think is going to bring some more activity into the area.

They also have tables where you can barbecue, but we decided to go with some premade menu items. Chicken Teriyaki: well-cooked, flavorful, and a good combo of sweet and savory! Jjajangmyeon: I wish there was slightly more meat in this dish, but the noodles paired with the black bean sauce were quite comforting and rich. Bulgogi Stone Pot: This was my personal favorite. I loved the sizzling hot beef and crispy rice near the bottom of the bowl, and mixing everything together made the dish more flavorful.

We got pork rice and egg tomato, which allowed us to have more protein in our bento.

Ambiance: they have a couple tables but it seems like this place is more takeout forward.

Am I crazy? Went to court and decided to try a different spot that I've never tried. I walked in…read moreand nobody was at the front counter. There was a sign that says to take the QR Code to put in my order. I stood there by the counter thinking ok someone will come eventually. A man came to counter and greeted hello and next thing you know it he walked to the back of the restaurant where the kitchen was. I scratched my head thinking, OK I GUESS THEY WERENT KIDDING about ordering through their QR CODE. I had to turn off my WIFI on my phone because XFINITY WAS interfering with my browser access. I'm stepped outside in front of their restaurant and ordered. I ordered their bento with a garlic sausage and a beef soup. What's bad is by waiting in their showroom dining area, I was never given a receipt to confirm if I put in my order. I'm not even sure if it went through. My card confirmed they took my money. So I guess it went through. Their QR code app doesn't even have a way to tell me if I made the order or not. Checked my email and still no receipt. My food was ready in 5 mins. On my way out as the young man handed me my package, I asked him "is this how people normally pay by QR CODE?" He answered with a hesitant tone, "Yes " I replied, "ok just checking." The Garlic Sausage reminded me of the Filipino Garlic longaniza. Slightly different. Maybe it's lighter but it tasted good. There was steamed cabbage and garlic seaweed. Pretty good. I think the food reminds me of home style cooking.

I wasn't prepared for the chilly day in Davis. I changed my outfit several times before we left the…read morehouse. The weather report said 65 degrees and overcast today. I went from a thin top to a medium weight sweater. We arrived in Davis I grabbed my jacket to pair with my sweater. Today was a day spent exploring Davis to see the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Arts (CCACA). What a great Conference. We come each year for this Conference and explore Davis every time we are here. After exploring the first building of the show it was coming on time to eat. We looked around the current shopping center and my husband didn't see anything he was craving. He said we'll go more into town and look for a noodle place. He said he remembered one from our last visit, down one of the alleys. Walking up the street we saw a couple of advertisements. A sandwich board was on the sidewalk for Davis Noodle CIty, the exact place we were looking for. The little Noodle Shop in the alley. We weaved through the other businesses, past the dumpling restaurant, past the outdoor seating and to the front door of the Davis Noodle City Restaurant. The out door seating looked really welcoming, but it was chilly out so we opted for eating inside with the other table that was occupied. There were 3 parties eating outside when we arrived. When we walked inside we were greeted and told to take any table. We choose a table in the corner. The menus were under the glass table top, keeping it clean and easy to read. Each place setting had its own copy of the menu. After looking at the menu, remembering what was offered on the sandwich board in front, and cross referencing it with Yelp Reviews we started ordering. We opted for the Five Spice Beef Noodles, and I asked if that was a good option and she said it was their top seller. The Yelp Reviews were only ok for that dish, but I took our chances. The second dish we ordered was the Dan Dan Noodles She tried to upscale us to the one with vegetables, but that dish was a cold dish so we when for the standard Dan Dan Noodles. Both dishes came out quickly. The Dan Dan noodles were not spicy as I anticipated, which was good, I wasn't really looking for spicy. I liked the flavor and realized that if you mixed it up there is a sauce on the bottom that is really tasty. Dan Dan Noodles ($8.25 a steal) is a solid dish and I highly reccomend it. It's a great bowlful of noodles. If you are hopping for other ingredients you are out of luck, it's 100% noodles with a sprinkling of peanuts on top and a sauce on the bottom. The Five Spice Beef Noodle Soup ($12.75)was as described in the reviews. It comes with American Broccoli and carrots. The beef is so good it melts in your mouth. The broth is minimal and lacked flavor. I'd think that it's advertised as Five Spice that it would have more flavor. I don't reccomend it if you are looking for a strong flavor. If you are looking for great meat, that melts in your mouth, but is also a little fatty then you have the perfect dish. Both dishes came with fresh noodles, none of those dried and rehydrated noodles that some places serve. The noodles on both dishes were different and pleasant. I highly reccomend their fresh noodles. Customer service was good. She came to check up on us and was pleasant. Parking is street parking. And they have a bathroom on site that is clean and well stocked.

I am usually a defender of these kinds of restaurants --- slightly below average rating due to poor…read moreservice is the mindset I try to approach them with. Unfortunately, this place has both bad service and food is not great. 2 stars for the price. Food (3/10) - I don't know how to describe it outside of the fact that it's just bland. I got the "Marco Polo noodles" which is just Chinese jia jiang mien. Let's start with the positives. I liked the noodle texture; it had a nice spring and were thick for a decent chew. Now, onto the bad. You could just tell that the noodles would be bland just by a look and smell. The smell of the bowl wasn't one of fragrant stir-fried pork but it actually smelled like starchy water. The sauce was super watery and had no flavor and I don't think there was even ground pork in the noodles. From what I could tell, it was some diced up mushroom and then black bean paste, without black bean flavor might I add. I had to add a GENEROUS amount of soy sauce and chili oil to make it taste decent. Honestly, I'd say it's pretty hard to mess up this dish as a whole and there's a lot of leeway on flavor but I have not tasted something that bland in a while. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the thai tea. This thing was so sweet that it was borderline undrinkable. I had to wait for the ice to melt in the drink before it was bearable and even then, it still left this residual sticky taste in my mouth. Also it's 4 dollars for canned thai tea; she grabbed it out the fridge. The only sort of saving grace of this restaurant is that it's relatively cheap. $12.50 for a good portion of noodles might convince me to go back(?) VERY BIG maybe though. I might want to try their soup noodles. Service (5/10) - It didn't really seem like she wanted me to be there. She kind of just sat behind the counter on her phone with an Airpod in the whole time. She was just on her phone the whole time and overall inattentive. When she was, she was just asking if I was ready to order (twice in the span of under 3-ish minutes). Ambiance (6/10) - Eh. It was just kinda weird. The lighting was dingy. Also didn't like how they left dirty tables around (clearly looked like they had been there for a while). Overall, probably wouldn't visit again. Might give it a second chance but food for price was pretty good. Unfortunately, bad food for good price is a no-go for me.

The lady serving us decided to give us the two smallest buns that had the least amount of frosting on them. They looked like they didn't rise before they baked them. She only added a little caramel sauce and a small scoop of pecans. She gave us the last original Cinnabon that was sitting out in their window instead of just giving us a new one from the same pan as the other two. When we finally found a table to sit at in the food court and looked close up at it, it did not even fill up the box like the ones we get at sunvalley mall. There were big spaces between each dried out layer. When I took my first bite it was crunchy and tasted like cardboard. So my first thought was how long was this sitting in their oven and was it even made today? I would not recommend going to this location. Their food is not fresh, they're skimpy on the sauce and frosting, and just on taste alone its a 1 out of 10. If you're craving Cinnabon I suggest you go to sunvalley mall where it will actually taste good.

Is Arden Fair my favorite mall? No, but it is close to where I live and always gets the job done!…read more Arden Fair is a big sized mall with plenty of parking - it obviously gets pretty busy on the weekends and especially around the holidays! When I visit, I usually stop into stores like Claire's, Foot Locker, Hot Topic, Lush, Macy's and Sephora. They also have a Miniso, Pandora, Spencer's, Coach and a brand new Pop Mart - just to name a few! Their food court is pretty decent offering Charley's Phillysteaks, Taco Bell, Panda Express and even Sbarro. They also offer different places to eat and grab drinks around the mall such as Cinnabon (my family's personal favorite), Jamba Juice, Wetzel's Pretzels and Hot Dog on a Stick. Santa and the Easter Bunny even visit for photos during their respected holidays! Overall, I'm not really sure what to say about the value, each business is differently priced obviously depending on where you go and the service is the same. I tend to only come to Arden Fair Mall when I need something specific and try my best to get in and out!

I visited yesterday and had a really disappointing experience at the carousel. The staff member…read moreworking was extremely rude, especially toward my child. My daughter was simply trying to choose which animal she wanted to ride, and instead of being patient, the employee told her to "just pick one." When I helped my daughter onto the horse, she was a little scared and said so. Instead of offering reassurance in a kind way, the employee raised her voice and said, "you're fine." It was very off-putting and not how anyone--especially a child--should be spoken to. When working with kids, a little kindness and patience go a long way. This experience definitely took away from what should have been a fun moment.

When she got there, we got in line and ended up waiting about 10 minutes to get to the register. We both ordered a burrito bowl (chicken and carnitas). One of the biggest draws is the self-serve chips and salsa bar. The chips are so good and the selection of salsas and add-ons was awesome! We went outside and sat at one of the "bar" spots. Our food came out in about 10 minutes. The servings of salsa and guac on top were remarkable! We mixed up our bowls and dove in! It was a very hearty bowl and we were glad since it was not super cheap ($17.80). We sat at the table for almost 3 hours and the servers eventually came and grabbed our bowls and not once pressured us to leave. The place was so busy and buzzing with conversation. The vibe was super chill and the people watching was so fun!
