Food and shopping downstairs, karaoke upstairs - so make it an all-day affair! Plus, there's plenty of desserts and drinking along 1st & 2nd Streets.

If you plan to visit here, I suggest to park in the Office Depot parking lot . It's free for the first hour, and as long as you buy something(a bottle of water) in the store, it will be free all day :)

It's an outdoor plaza that has a lot of small little stores. Plenty of parking . Good for chill and hanging out with friends.

Jason Su

Crowded . Great places to walk around, eat, and window shop. Check out Mitsuru cafe while you're there! Hama sushi is also good for a traditional Japanese sit down experience.

Kendal Cockrel

Crowd is a mix of tourists , locals, and weebs. A good place to people watch after grabbing a snack at any one of the shops nearby.
