    First-time visitor to this mall, and I really enjoyed my visit…read more Some of the big names in the retail world have stores here, which was a nice surprise. Stores such as Apple, Aldo, The Gap, Banana Republic, Bed, Bath & Body, Bloomingdale's, Coach, Express, Hollister, Macy's, Vans, and many others. The mall is a good size, very clean, and well-maintained. The food court was extremely clean, comfortable, and somewhat fancy-looking, with plenty of tables, benches, and chairs to sit and relax throughout the mall. Friendly employees can be seen cleaning throughout the mall, assuring that this place is kept as spotless as possible. Free parking is available both in the parking garage adjacent to the mall and in non-garage parking on the east and south sides of the mall.

    This mall has unsafe bathrooms and needs to up their security asap. Today was the second time I…read morewent to the family bathroom and there was a grown man (without a family) in the restroom using it as his private toilet and when he came out he left the bathroom a mess, toilet clogged and all, so the line of children waiting for this jerk couldn't use it. It was truly disgusting. I've complained this time and last time this happened (homeless man in one of the nursing stations). There should be security in the corridor, especially given that it is right next to an outlet to riverside drive. Westfield, you need to care more about the families and women supporting your establishment!

    I have been visiting Sherman Oaks Galleria for way too many years. Since my son was probably 6 or 7…read moreyears old. We have a lot of great memories and photos at this place. It has a lot of different types of restaurants, a gym, Burke Williams (massage parlor), a movie theatre, that's huge. Unfortunately some of the places have been shot down like Frida, that used to be El Toritos before, Starbucks that is VERY IMPORTANT to some people, (not to me), plenty of other Starbucks's on every block is no longer there. Cheesecake Factory, along with so many other eateries, a snack shop, along with Buffalo Wings, P.F.Chang is still there. I am not going to name one by one what's there and what's not. All I can say is that everyone over there starting from the security guards are nice, helpful and friendly. It's a big structure based on 3 stories. Same goes for parking. Yes, I agree with some of the Yelpers that the foot traffic has diminished a little bit. That also depends what day and time of the week you go there. I was there on 6/17/26 around 12:10pm and there were a lot of people everywhere. Established back in 2001 and is till a nice place to go solo, date night or have tourists visiting this lovely, big, charming Sherman Oaks Galleria.

    The Sherman Oaks Galleria is very nice and inviting, but sadly, it lacks energy; during a recent…read morevisit, we found the mall empty of visitors. It was a strange aight indeed. The exception was the Cheesecake Factory, which was not crowded, though there were 10 to 15 other diners. Validated parking is available if you dine at one of the few remaining open restaurants or businesses.

    A staple in Los Angeles that's always a nice place to spend some time walking around. There's a…read moregood amount of shops and plenty of restaurants. Of course the main focal point, the water fountain and little park. There's plenty of parking in the massive covered parking structure. There's also valet at the lower level which is easier in my opinion. You can also park where the farmers market is but they have their own validation system. It's a pretty decent size shopping area which is all outdoor. The main department store which is Nordstrom and then you'll have all the other smaller chains stores. Plenty of dining options, more on the dine in style. If you're looking for something quick and easy, there's the farmers market a couple minutes walk. Of course there's the movie theatre which is great. The whole grove concept is similar to the Americana which is larger. Dining options, shops and of course the fountain. It's a staple in LA that's worth checking out.

I came to shop and dine, arrived at…read more12:52 PM and left at 2:57 PM -- literally just a few minutes over the 2-hour validation limit from Gap, where I made purchases. Despite being a paying customer spending money at your stores and restaurants, I was charged the full $15 parking fee. Now that's not the first time that the validation is not working or applied!!!! But now what ? You will go back to the store after walking to your parking floor?!? This policy feels unreasonable and excessive. Customers who come to support the businesses at The Grove should not be penalized with outrageous parking charges over a few minutes. Situations like this discourage people from shopping and dining there. There should be a grace period or a reduced fee for customers who slightly exceed the validation time, especially when they are actively spending money on the property. Very disappointing customer experience.

I've taken a few free workout classes at the Vuori here and they've been enjoyable. While I look forward to walking around this chic enclave, I'll echo what some other Yelpers have said: the parking here is an unnecessary headache. I don't believe in paying for parking at a mall or outdoor shopping center. I think it's a petty cash grab. Additionally, as others have mentioned, many of the spots here are tandem. This is gross, even with valet. I'm going to get creative and find parking elsewhere because I refuse to pay for parking here anymore.

    This is a nice little shopping center with small retail stores, restrauants and a grocery store…read morethat has a lot of items. Parking can be tricky but once you figure out then it's not that bad. You also get free 90 minutes parking here and have to give the valet people your key because of the way the parking spots work. You might get boxed in or you'll be the one boxing in the other car. The scenery here is amazing with the little ponds and sitting area. The atmosphere here makes you feel like you're at a park. My wife and I came here because she wanted to visited Hoka store to try their comfortable shows. Then she wanted to go to Erewhon to try their overpriced smoothies.

We scheduled multiple visits and they let us spend time visiting different layouts, take measurements, and didn't pressure us to decide right away. Preparing for the move-in day itself was also a great experience - they've got a load-in dock at each building for the truck to pull right up to rather than fighting street parking. All of the appliances are brand new and high-end, and you will very likely be moving into a brand new unit that has never been lived in before. Internet is already installed and ready to turn on, and is fiber so you can crank all the way to 8g up and down if memory serves. Another highlight is being directly above the new Trader Joe's. You can take the stairs down and be right at the entrance! Last but not least - Brittany was an absolute gem every step of the way, and made it a wonderful experience all around. We highly recommend living here!

Mimi was our leasing manager who was unbelievably helpful and made herself available through every single step of the process. I literally do not have enough kind words to say about her. When we moved in, we experienced an issue with our dishwasher and within 2 hours of submitting the request, Luis and Vince (maintenance team) showed up and replaced the entire unit. They were also so kind and had the best energy. All of the finishes within the building and unit feel very luxe and the team here is nothing short of fantastic. We absolutely made the right call in moving to Citrus Commons.

    UNDER CONSTRUCTION? Universal City Walk is an interesting place, it's always on the cusp of being…read moretorn down or threatened to be replaced but it's such a classic, how can it be? Stocked with plenty of food spots spanning from fast food to sit down eateries to donut shops and treats galore. You'll find a Hello Kitty Cafe & Store, Voodoo Donuts, Starbucks, Buca Di Beppo, Pink's Hot Dogs and ALOT more. Add the huge amount of gift shops and specialty shops and you cal spend hours here! My personal favorite spots are the Nintendo Store, Universal Studios gift shops, and the NBA Store. There's soooo much merch and tempting options. Come prepared to spend, yet practice self-control. Lots of the hubs in CityWalk are pricey, don't expect cheap finds, it's a tourist spot after all. Not in the mood for shopping? There's a movie theater smack in the middle of the action. My parents told me it's gotten a little run down as of late, but it's still open for reason. They have large screens and it's a Universal staple. CityWalk is mostly known as the gateway to Universal Studios Hollywood. You can walk right up to the Universal gates once you reach the end of CityWalk. Some people come in and out of the park to have lunch at CityWalk or an end-of-day dinner. I highly recommend both options. Overall, CityWalk is kept clean and the pavement is consistently power washed. Some shops have better service than others, but I've never really had a terrible experience at any of the stores or eateries. My only gripe would be the industrial food court area. It's a little dated. I've also noted construction, I really hope greed doesn't win and we get to keep CityWalk! I've been coming here since I was a kid.
