This is a great place to shop regardless if you’re spending money or just spending some time. The shops are as beautiful as the people you will see. Best of all there’s always something unique and something you can afford.

Cathedral of Conspicuous Consumption. This is a Mall of Malls. It was packed on Saturday and you have to get lucky with parking or valet. We were about to valet but got lucky.

There’s a Uniqlo and lots of other high end stuff that isn’t for me. There’s a Starbies reserve too. There are hordes of people going every which way so it can get exhausting.

Bathrooms are nice but oddly tiny. There isn’t a ton of food and the places we saw were restaurants and had waits.

It is cool but try and go not on a weekend

This mall is large and very nice. All the designer shops are there. Bathrooms are clean.

They have such pretty decor for each season. I love going to see the Lunar New Year display each year.

The parking is free.

There’s a good selection of restaurants too.

A decent variety of stores, but the mix of very casual shops in a huge selection of very high end shops ends up feeling awkward. I came here because it was the closest location for a specific store - the whole experience of visiting South Coast was a little overwhelming with the crush of tourists. I probably would not come here just to shop without having a specific destination. The holiday decorations were amazing though, which saved the ambiance a bit since enclosed malls feel so dreary and outdated.

In Southern California, it doesn't snow even in winter, so you can't feel the Christmas atmosphere even during the Christmas season, but if you come to South Coast Plaza, there is a large Christmas tree and the interior is well decorated with Christmas decorations, so it's nice to feel the Christmas atmosphere here.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, too crowded in this holiday season. But I love their bridge!!! And the outdoor section after the bridge. 👌

They have two areas, one for the big spender, the other one for shoppers on budget. Your choice 😎

Been here several times never let me down. The mall is very new and there are so many stores. Recent visit before Christmas there are beautiful Christmas decorations. Definitely come and see if you have time.

This is one of the largest and most beautifully decorated malls in Southern California! This mall is immaculate and well secured, safe and clean for an even more enjoyable experience. Shops to soothe and shopping palette. Numerous restaurants and eateries to entertain most any food choice desired. Plenty of parking surrounding the entire property.
If you enjoy are great mall experience, this is your must go to!
