I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now and I love this mall. I love that. There’s so many stores with Matcha, ice cream, cream and Matcha donuts and all things Matcha! My husband and I would come here for the movie theater. And most recently, my good friend Emma and I went to a nearby shop for a spa day,

My kids love it here. There is always a family oriented event planned. The shops have something for everyone in my household and I can do most of my shopping in this area. If I had to come up with any draw back it would be how popular the area can be at times (making it hard to navigate.... to overcrowded). It just goes to show that other folks love it as much as my family.
