“Parking can be a challenge, your best bet is usually to park in one of the large parking structures. Tons of dining and shopping options, be warned that prices for everything here will be quite high!”
“I had a lovely experience at this nail salon from the moment I walked in. I was immediately greeted and guided to the woman who did my nails. She took her time, and her attention to detail was phenomenal. She constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable and walked me through different base nail color options, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend this place!”
“Mercado Del Lago is an amazing spot to visit! This place has a great selection of restaurants, so whether you're in the mood for a full meal or just a quick bite, there's always something good to choose from. One of the best things about this location is that it’s right next to the lake — you can enjoy your food while taking in the beautiful, relaxing waterfront views. Parking is sufficient and convenient, making the visit stress-free. There’s also a noticeable police presence, which adds an extra sense of safety and security. Highly recommended for dining, relaxing, and simply enjoying the scenery! ??️”
“The Market Place has a super selection of shopping and dining stores. It’s such a large development that it’s quite difficult to cover it all in the same day. We were are I Can BBQ for dinner today and Snooze for breakfast yesterday. Both are excellent for meals and for us; worthy of return visits !!!! Don’t miss this area !!!!”
“What an amazing intersection! I've passed through this intersection many times in my life and I'm still alive. I'm not afraid to pass through this intersection again so I give it five stars.hy am I being prompted to review the intersection of El Toro and Trabuco?”
“Honestly, I only go here for grocery outlet. My experience with the rest of the plaza is how long the walk is to the bathroom. People seem to use and enjoy it though, so, guess it’s not bad? Especially if you have kids. Or like grocery outlet.”
“The customer service from the HVAC company was outstanding. They took the time to explain the different options, and the installation team was courteous and knowledgeable. Our home is now more comfortable than ever”
“The shopping center is great. And hopefully I can describe this correctly... If you want to go on a date and the weather is nice, their outdoor seating is amazing at night, with the lighting and trees it creates a great backdrop. A couple really good food options as well that service the outdoor seating area. Patio heaters are plus as well.”
“This Starbucks at Culver Plaza always delivers a great experience! The drive-thru is fast, well-organized, and the staff are consistently friendly, patient, and professional. My drink was made perfectly, fresh, and exactly the way I ordered it. The team keeps the area clean and the service smooth even during busy hours. Thank you to the amazing crew at this location for excellent customer service and a great start to my day!”
“Shopping center with a mix of restaurants, boutiques, department stores and a movie theater. Parking lots can get crowded on weeknights and weekends. Always keep an eye open for e-bike riders biking in the parking lot and roadways, this area is frequented by many.”

“Great place to walk around, there are plenty of stores for food shopping and activities. Eos fitness is open 24 hours and they even have a bowling alley. There is plenty of parking as well and tons of stuff to do. If you’re looking for food or something to do this is a good option.”
“This hidden gem is actually very centrally located and has some very impressive art and lighting stores. There are also furniture and textile boutiques along with various other shops and even a yoga studio. You can also enjoy brunch at the cute little restaurant or sit and read near the fountain. There’s always parking in the back if the front is full but in the six years I have been coming to the design center I have never had parking be a problem. I highly recommend it to any local designers or residents!”
“O Fine Japanese Restaurant was a very pleasant experience. The fresh and delicious flavors really stand out. The sushi was perfectly prepared and you could feel the quality of the ingredients. Definitely a place I would return to.”

“My favorite sandwich engineer "Nicole" at Whole Foods created me another amazing sandwich. Marble Rye / Pastrami / Coleslaw and Mayo. Was filling and amazingly light. #pastrami #wholefoodssocalifornia #nicole #dinnerisreadyfresh”
“It is a grocery store and a take out food venue. Lots of off the beaten path products like salmon belly and crawfish. A very good selection of wild caught whole fish is available along with products for all over the world including many from the Philippines. I always end up at the cooked food counter. Mmm mmm good! Satay pork chicken and beef just to name a few of my favorites. It is truly a treat to try something new/different/exotic every time I go there.”
“This is a favorite place to go for breakfast or lunch....... Bagels and Brew! It's a friendly place to go. They have great food and quick and friendly service that keeps us coming back.”
“This Plaza has been a great place for shopping for the last 45 yrs for me & my family.. Thx to all the businesses that have stayed for so long. Establishing great relationships with customers old & new..??”

“Welcome to Utopia, live work and shop all in one place. All within walking distance. Great bars, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, gyms work lots of trails nearby, it's happening,”
“Nice place to visit with kids and all family. Clean and new location to spend some quality time with loves ones. If you want to play, buy or fix the bike you have everything in one place. I like this place because you have a lot of space to park your car. Also, you have a very good learning center for kids to have tutoring and extra classes.”
“Really good food but somewhat pricey, but as they say, you get what you pay for, so it's worth the higher price. The steak with garlic spinach is awesome. Excellent staff and atmosphere.”

“Well my Car got towed so I had to take this trip on a bus. My pup goes with me everywhere, and didn't care for the bus driver and neither did I . They stop abruptly all the time. ,and it took four hours from Fullerton to Irvine. I'm needing back my car. So this Irvine center ( really nothing special) I went to visit the Dentist , all business,no pleasure believe me. There is a 7 11 next door or two, and it's a small one as if people in Irvine don't frequent 7/11 stores often . They didn't have much. The guy behind the counter didn't have much personality either. So I can't say much except I've been to more upscale centers in the desert than compared to Irvine , and Nicolas my pup feels the same.”
“This plaza has a good variety of places to eat and locations to shop. There is a Home Depot and they also have a McDonald, Taco Bell, Chipotle, and Flame Broiler.”
“Saddleback Lanes, love this place. Family friendly, 5 star customer service, reasonably priced, social bar plus comfort food menu including Gluten free pizza. Parking available.”
“Cute strip mall that is the epitome of Orange County. Moderately to very busy based on the time of day.. takes a bit of time to find parking but theres always something. Everything around is a bit upscale and tidy, youll always see someone out on a date, family dinner, walking the dog, or working on a paper. Always a reminder that people are still living their lives when I come here instead of other dead strip malls”
“This is probably one of my most frequented shopping centers in my local community and I find it not only Convenient but I also find the parking easy and indoor dining addition to the Ralph’s, there are many other vendors that add to my shopping convenience! I love this Ralph’s and have alway found it to be well laid out, well stocked, ample employees, fresh produce and they always have amazing deals weekly that you can easily access via the app or online. And the best part is that the points you accrue thru their savings card can then be applied at any She’ll station for various amounts off of gas at the pump! I’ve been saving $.80-$1.00 at the pump on average plus a multitude of in store savings on food and drinks.”
“Has a lot more items in stalk the all the other smart and finals in the area the one in lake forest hardly has anything stalked but you can always count on this one having full inventory”
“Love this street mall, there is so many stores I go to, such as PetSmart, Barns and Noble, Ralph’s, CVS, TJ Maxx, Staples and others. Restaurants, banking and gas stations, movie theater, even Farmers Market! Also, lots of parking!”
“I left a nail salon of 20+ years during Covid and was recommended to check out Happy Nails. I've been coming here now for 3 years and I am very pleased with the change. Tanya does my nails and is excellent! She is always on time and does a great job with my nails and toes. The salon owner is always so welcoming and makes sure you're taken care of. If you're looking for great service, I would recommend coming here.”

“Quaint shopping center with a car wash, hair salon, gas station, fast food and sit down dining. Not overly crowded at any time of the day and the property seems to be well maintained. This is the kind of center you can knock out 3-4 of the honey do list as well as feed the kids. If you are local to this center then you know how convenient this location is. If you haven't been here, give it a look.”
“Kids playing in front area while parents chill talking and drinking. Well lit areas. Clean planters and sidewalks. Furniture is clean and sturdy. Lots of food choices. Place is still surviving although not nearly as popular as 30 years ago.”
