I came here on a weekend and had an enjoyable time. They have the typical stores (Macy's, Nordstrom, LEGO, GameStop, etc.) and it wasn't too crowded. Personally it felt like a more well maintained and larger version of the Westgate Mall in San Jose (it had a similar feel for me). There definitely are plenty of stores to keep you in the mall for hours. Parking is plentiful and there's a good selection of food choices.
Though there was nothing unique (for me) that would lead me to come explore this mall again unless I happened to be in the area (simply because there are locations of the same stores that are less of a drive). Though it's definitely a great place and very convenient to come to if you live in the area!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 3316562018Jul 22, 20241 check-in
I've been coming here on and off for 50 years. It's always been well-maintained and has a nice mix of stores. The food court has a lot of options and plenty of seating spaces. I think my favorite part of the mall are the Bufano statues which have been here since day one.

I have been living in the Bay Area throughout my life and never heard of this mall before. I clearly don't understand why nobody talks about or go to this mall, but this is one of the best malls to go to in my opinion.
The mall has a very nice dining terrace where there are plenty of good food places to go to. As usual, they have Cheesecake Factory, Uncle Tetsu, and Panda Express. The design of that area pars with the one from Westfield Valley Fair Mall since to its modern design.
Next to it is the exterior side of the mall. This is better than the one from Westfield Mall at Valley Fair because it has a bigger space for people to hangout and a place for children to play on the grass.
There are good shops to go to such as Hot Topic, Macy's, Apple Store, Zumiez, and GameStop. I am surprised that some shops sell anime products, which is something that doesn't come across as usual.
I highly recommend this mall to anyone who lives in San Mateo or closer to that city. There is plenty to do here!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 13, 2024
Clean and well-maintained mall. The bathrooms were clean as well. Came here to pick up some shoes and the maps, which were located throughout the halls, were descriptive and helpful. It is somewhat of a walk from the parking lot though. The parking lot is quite big and the mall has plenty of stores to choose from. Great place. Very much recommend it.

I love the service and everyone who keeps a smile on during the day. Whole bunch of stores to choose from from clothing all the way down to children's toys. Especially the food court has amazing seating and great value food. Great place to go to.

It was my first time here. I heard about the shopping center from friends I know from high school and work over the years. The center is interesting that it's an indoor mall as well as an outdoor mall. The outside reminds me of Santana Row and the inside is like valley fair in San Jose, CA. I enjoyed walking around, eating at California pizza kitchen. I went shopping at lulu lemon and Nordstrom. I enjoyed sitting outside on the patio and people watching in the open green space.

This is a beautiful mall. Every store I shop at is here, which makes it an easy shopping day. For the most part, the mall itself is clean an visually nice! 5 stars all the way.
I took away a star bc the bathrooms were dirty. This is too nice of a mall to have dirty bathrooms.Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 3Oh no 1
