Not many stores are left. Most of the businesses are gone and stores are left empty and vacant. It is a ghost town over there. It was so depressing that we had to leave. Very sad! Like Mission Viejo Mall. That is also sad to see. That was a gorgeous, thriving mall back in the day. What has happened to Orange County? 🤔

I love this theater the most out of all regal theaters. Reclining seats, great food, good service. Clientele could be more considerate of others in the theater and a few of the seats at the tops could be replaced but overall great place.

This place is well kept and maintained. However, its been sad to see how a lot of the shops and restaurants have closed down over the years. All the same this is still a nice area to visit and at least the cinemas and things around it are still open.

Mystery movie night was fun. Unfortunately concessions help was unaware (made no attempt to check with manager) of promo $8 for a small drink & popcorn. This promo can be pulled up by searching mystery movie (regal theatre). Movie Freelance was really good.

I love the Kaleidoscope because the octagon dome looks so nice. I love the movie theater in this mall at Mission Viejo better than The Shops. I always visit this mall when I go to the city of Mission Viejo.

I went to the restaurant called Riptide which is a teppanyaki sushi place. The portion are big. the music the style of the restaurant is nice. It gets a little warm in the evenings. Service was its never been good until Melissa By far the best service Ive gotten there was by Melissa a waitress there.

We ate at Pinini Kabob Grill. Really good and fresh food. Big portions too. Parking can sometimes be difficult there. For whatever reason just outside their door is the worst sewer smell everytime. If I remember I hold my breath.

I took my daughter who is 8 yrs old went to the kids halloween haunt they are having on Saturdays and Sundays 15$ a person.. you go thru a kid friendly maze and the kid get candy around almost every turn. Its from 2-5. Got my prepaid ticket for a 2pm time frame but didnt get in till almost 2:30.. There is free parking..3 level parking is small but closer..best bet is 1st level but escalator didnt work..lol..even 2nd but second level it says 90min parking so I made sure to move dont need a ticket.. make sure you also scan the code to get the list of stores that are also giving candy away in the mall.. Sals Pizzeria was so yummy.. they also have a 10%off coupon! Reasonable prices great taste.. they also did a science show with dry 🧊ice.. they had some pumpkins the kids could decorate the cost 15$ they are big pumpkins 🎃lol something you dont want to carry around so park kinda close so you can put it in the car.. in all my daughter loved it and we saw a little side show for 3$ each of a pretty cool collection a Gentle Giant is sharing with us all.. it was a nice day

We visited the movie theaters. They upgraded it since we had last been there. Really enjoyed it. The seats are very comfortable.

The area is dead, like ghost town but I love the restaurants. I wonder what it needs to get back on track

This mall is awesome - stuff just doesn’t seem to find good traction here. But I’m a fan! Great movies, easy parking, new location of a Mariners church location too!

This mall no longer has the vast selection of stores available as most businesses have closed and left. Don’t waste your time here unless youre only coming here to see a movie and then have Sals pizza afterwards. (Yogurtland, islands, Jumpin, jammin, and other businesses are gone.).

Review №14

2023-10-08 07:48:03

Im kind of on the fence here, it still has a movie theatre and a few restaurants but I think malls in general are fading out. This one is hanging by a thread.

This center is dying fast. Lots of empty suites. There are even churches filling up the empty spaces. So sad.

Review №16

2023-02-14 05:43:43

Sals pizza is legit. Tastes just like NYC pizza.The Tesla chargers are in the basement level but they are installing more.It would be smarter if they installed them where two cars could use a charger by mounting the chargers on an island. Oh well. There is definitely a smarter way to make/install the chargers.

The new Urban Market is unique. Gets a little busier on the weekends. Portola coffee is okay. It needs better service/baristas with a little more personality. Coffee was warm not got. We did order peruvian bread from RTE - very yummy and service was good.

Nice Shoppes, but the elevators were not working, and the escalator was out of service.

I truly do like this place BUT they need more for teens and kids!They got rid of the Jump and Jammin :(A good amount of food choices but not a lot of things to actually do.We live real close but my kids rarely want to go here because there isnt much to do...There is a movie theater, laser tag and food but thats all. Unfortunately my teen doesnt like watching movies and laser tag is expensive but we do still go occasionally and have fun while we are there

Went to a great movie, book club 2. BUT, 30 minutes of ads starting at the movie time was clearly frustrating. Almost left. Will try different theatre next time.

I love the lay down seats. However, the bathrooms are always a mess. The soap barely works and the paper towel machine is always broken. Some of sinks are blocked off and broken too. It has been like this for months and months. The lobby and condiment area is always a mess too. Its sad to me that the manager doesnt clean it up.

The building is nice, the parking is kinda weird but okay, but the soul is slowly leaving. Im not sure what the building owner, is doing but a lot of cute shops closed. Cant blame the pandemic either, shops started leaving way before then. A few restaurants remain and are good but all the unique, quirky places to shop are slowly closing. Sol Agave, Rip Tide, Panini Grill, Color Me Mine and Burke Williams are there and still good, but I miss Jumping Jamboree, Yogurtland and all the little shops in the Union Market. Without the variety, its starting to feel like a glorified food court. We were promising my toddler a trip to Jumping Jamboree all through the pandemic while mom gets a massage, and now thats gone. I used to want to stay and linger to shop but now I just get what I came for and leave quickly.

This facility has a lot to offer. A great theater with reclining seats without extra $$. GREAT food court/restaurant court as well as great stand alone restaurants. Sals pizza place next to the theater is REALLY good! Parking is usually not a problem, but they have like 4 sublevels of parking if needed. I have been coming here for 20 years and have never had a problem finding a spot.

EV charging stations were down. Thats the only reason we went here.

Review №32

2021-12-07 17:33:15

We love the theater, all projections come with recliner seats and its never really busy.I wish there was more live events in the mall because location is great, right next to the freeway. There are few restaurants but it always feels like its a ghost place, especially during the week. There is a huge mixology bar located on the top floor, but it seems its closed. I hope new investors will see the opportunity and help build this place like it should be.

Review №33

2023-02-12 17:22:12

This piece is in transition right now so there are a lot of vacant slots...I hope it can pick up again to its former popularity as it is a super convenient location with a nice layout.

Not as many eating options anymore for lunch. Went to Buffalo wild wings. Expensive and went home hungry. :-(. No options for gluten free or low carb.

The place is a ghost town, everything is gone and out of business

Need better signage. From the parking lot taking the elevator to the top floor: your signage is confusing. I had to ask a parking attendant.

I think this place is now called Color Me Mine? Anyway my daughters and I went to Color Me Mine and had a great experience! It was a fun and creative day. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of ceramics to choose from.

Went to RipTide Sushi.. This okace is the best.. The service and the bar, excellent..But the waiter on the floor.. He sucked.. Never once did he come around and refilled our drinks. Wont allow him to ruine it for the others who were excellent. Appreciate you Miguel.. Great service. Great time. Shall return

Escalator Out of Service all the time. Read other reviews going back 5 years, escalators broke. Violation of Certificate of Occupancy.No city enforcement. Why not?

2019-09-14 17:27:32

Enjoyed this theater. They have great seats, fresh popcorn, and friendly staff. The place is very clean, and theres plenty of free parking. Within this location is a shopping center which has fine stores and dining, and small food court area.

Place is awesome, I definitely recommend going to the union market where the boba shop locca is, . The employees are great people and the boba flavors are out of this world . You will want to go back for more even if u live an hour away like me lol . Hmm i gotta go get some more now just talking about it . Also if you have kids from 5+ they have the best Lazer tag arena Ive ever seen. And the equipment is state of the art. Security is top tier, helpful and always there when you need us ;)

Very disappointed to hear jump n jammin is being kicked out for no reason. My children loved it there and I would spend time at other stores after I took them there to play. Not anymore! The place has gone down hill significantly since I was younger. So many places have moved in and out like a revolving door. Heard from so many people that the management at Kaleidoscope are not great/easy to work with…. so I will gladly take my business to other, more respectable places.

Review №45

2022-07-12 23:41:42

I always like this place, but sure to COVID, a lot of shops increased their prices, but more often closed down permanently.I still love their boba, use their gym, and they have some live music there with Cornhole tournaments as well.If they can bring back frozen yogurt and affordable Asian food, then this place will be packed. Im curious about the laser tag there, though it seems to also be quite pricey, pricier than laser quest when it was still around. Regardless, still something to do for everyone, but def could use more interesting shops, which is, ironically, overshadowed but the Shoppes mall across the street

Much better when the escalator is working as it was this weekend.

Review №47

2021-11-09 00:22:41

Their is a great movie theater, a few places to eat and have drinks, and a color me mine. This place use to have more food options but a lot of places closed during covid. There is also a spa in this shopping center and a fitness center. Most of the parking is underground.

Wonderful Tuesday evening. We enjoyed Buffalo Wild Wings and perhaps next time we will visit Sol Agave Restaurant. I really liked the live music they had in the bottom courtyard area. Hopefully more people will visit so that this place stays open.

Review №49

2022-07-02 00:45:03

So many of the storefronts are empty. The movie theater is nice, and so is laser land and Riptide. Union market is empty as well. Kind of a bust overall.

Review №50

2023-10-30 07:12:49

Nice place to visit. Nice theater, but the seats are falling apart and need to be re-upholstered. :)

Review №51

2020-11-06 20:41:39

So sad this mall has struggled since the day it was built. Property management doesnt keep it clean. So beat up. Gone are all good restaurants. 75% is Vacant. What are you all doing? Call it a day and demolish this eye sore and waste of space. Indian burial ground?

Review №52

2019-11-22 13:25:38

Lights and the atmosphere during Christmas time makes this place kind of magical and pretty. Also, there is this continual smell of fresh laundry wafting through the air here. It makes for a pretty interesting sensation cocktail to brighten your evening if youre into that kind of thing.

Review №53

2017-02-13 14:21:50

Great concept, needs some finishing touches. I like the open space, and that you can shop, eat or just chill. I think adding a few more interesting types of variety of eating places would make it great. The bar in the center is a nice touch too. Very nice.

Review №54

2018-08-14 20:27:24

The escalators didnt work. There was no parking except right beside the freeway. Any who spent time next to a 12-14 lane freeway knows what thats like. The sushi restaurant we chose to eat at should be closed down. I wont mention the name. The theater sound system and seating was really good though which is why we came. That would be the only reason we would even consider going there again.

Review №55

2021-03-03 02:46:48

This place used to be the jam. Great variety of stores, amazing atmosphere. Sad to see it deteriorate, the movie theater is amazing with recline seats and great prices, but Covid killed movie theaters. There hasnt been a good entertainment spot here since the Derby Dueling Piano Bar left.If youre looking for something interesting check out the lower-lower parking garage levels. The local car dealerships store their cars down there so you can get a sneak peak at the inventory.

Review №56

2022-11-21 04:59:29

Only a few shops open, main attraction is the movie theater, great potential bit if your going to shop go the mall across the street

Review №57

2017-03-14 09:21:05

I work here its an alright place. The union market is a great place to hang out or study, with nice drink options like Milk Box and Portola Coffee. If you want something a bit stronger try out dry society. And if you want some good food try out my restaurant Anchor Hitch!

Review №58

2022-11-24 02:45:55

Oh my goodness, this place is falling into disrepair. The escalators havent worked in weeks, the stairs are crumbling and dangerous, and half the shops are closed.

Review №59

2018-04-14 21:52:53

This place when it first opened was hopping. Super fun, excellent shopping, great restaurants, rad vibe. Now its a ghost town. Everything is shut down, and only only restaurant remains. Wild Wings. When we went in for a bite to eat, it felt old, run down, bad service, filled up with ghetto kids, and everything looked dirty. Its got a total downbeat vibe, you just want to go!

I like it! Its a great place! The movie theater is a clean.

Review №61

2022-03-27 16:25:48

Not a huge fan. I find it does not have the atmosphere or the traffic to make it a place I want to frequent. Irvine Spectrum or Aliso Viejo are much better for movies and food overall.

Review №62

2018-10-18 09:41:01

Lots of restaurants. The best one would have to be Rocco’s pizzeria! Friendly and clean staff amazing authentic tasting Italian pizza and pasta. Yogurtland as well as a movie theater and laser tag arcade. Fun for all ages friends and families, birthday parties or just a day out. Definitely stop by Rocco’s for amazing fresh pizza.

2017-11-09 23:48:52

This place was a dump a few years ago. The new anti-mall theme adopted from the district in jamboree Irvine. It offers a cool vibe and a lot to do in comparison for what It was prior to the renovation. This place deserves 5 stars since portola coffee labs opened up shop and also because of the awesome ping pong tables is a huge plus!

Beautiful place to go with the family. Plenty of Restaurants and easy parking two floors.

Review №66

2017-06-13 16:27:33

I think they should put more couches in the common area in UNION CENTER public cafeteria. There just isnt enough room to sit sometimes. I come here every week, and its really a good, cool place to relax and read. Nitro coffee is really good from that spot there.

Review №67

2019-11-25 19:25:25

The courtyard is under construction. But all the businesses are operating. Its sad to see Union Market that slow. Great place to be but without people around is not so much fun. Also Tapas went out of business.

Review №68

2020-01-11 23:42:25

This place is under-rated... They have the best movie thearter, best LA Fitness, best mexican restaurant, hibachi/ sushi place with a happy hour, great spa, frozen yogurt, kids play area and a sports bar with buffalo wings. What more could you want?... I highly recommend making it a destination for the whole family.I work out, see a movie, get dinner, have frozen yogurt and then wonder why my life is so great.

2018-02-24 01:59:25

A beautiful outdoor designation venue that offers a movie center, quick grab snack shops, laser quest, Burke Williams Spa, LA Fitness, Jump n Jamming, Yogurt Land, a urban food court and Riptide restaurant. Sadly, there are a few empty stores. The downside of this venue is the parking. There is not easy access to parking. Once you find parking you have to take an escalator up several floors.

Review №73

2017-06-14 16:14:06

This place is nice. It has a nice movie theater and now a new food court that has several good options. My favorite is the Shabu Shabu restaurant inside. Sometimes they have a DJ there though and its REALLY loud to the point that it spoils the fun. Its a young crowd kind of place.

Review №74

2019-09-14 04:56:04

I kinda like this place. Lots of snack choices, and a great place to people watch, and who doesnt like people watching? 😁 Ride the Ferris wheel, buy a new shirt, or better yet get your girl a new top and put a smile on her face 😁

We stopped for lunch, there were many choices, which is always nice. We got tacos, good hot food in a clean environment. Very pleased we stopped here. Highly recommend

Review №76

2018-03-07 16:56:10

Fun place to hang out. Lots if shops and food. Took a star off because the parking is a bit confusing. Seems as though they have two parking structures that seem connected but arent so if you end up in the smaller if the two you may not find a spot and will have to go back out onto the street to find the other parking structure.

Review №77

2018-09-08 11:57:17

I imagine that the planners of this place thought I was a good idea to create a hip mall where people could hang around and shop. In practice it doesnt work at all. Ill list off the things that make this place a failure. First off lets go over the selection of shops this place has. Hmm, I dont seem to remember any. There really isnt any place to shop at this place at all. Just a few unspectacular restaurants and little shops. The two busiest places seem to be the Edwards theater and Howies game shack. The mall has lots of empty spaces from places that have closed and some, presumably, that have never been occupied at all. You really get a sense of how barren the mall is when you see all the empty spaces in such a small place. Secondly, location. This place is situated right across the street from the Mission Viejo mall. This obviously creates a situation where people would rather go to the Mission mall since there is more shops there and it’s too far for people to walk to both malls. All this place caters to are teens and college students that want to just hang around and not much else. Also the parking in this place sucks with super narrow pathways and very little room for cars to drive.

This place is so run down and it shows everywhere you look! If it wasnt such an odd building, it might serve better as an apartment comlex.

Review №79

2017-03-06 21:07:07

Lots of places to eat and things to do here, but not many shops. That said, the collection of small eateries on the second floor, towards the freeway, is absolutely outstanding. I think it is called Union Market. It reminds me of Soho in Costa Mesa or the LAB Antimall.

Review №80

2018-05-28 00:36:14

The Italian eatery was fair, pasta was so dente, sauce tasted like it came from a can. The coffee place was closed when we tried to have a cup. The whole mall, with the exception of the Edwards Theaters, felt dead and there were plenty of signs that its struggling to make it.

Review №81

2018-01-03 08:09:27

Great location to get to from I-5 or Mission Viejo. There are a lot of empty of shops in this shopping center. The parking lot is free, but limited on time. The 1st and 2nd floor have time limitations and if you drive a truck over 7ft in height you can not park beneath the 2nd floor. This can make it difficult to watch a movie, enjoy game day at Buffalo Wild Wings or have a long work out at LA Fitness. It is very clean with plenty of walkways to make it not feel crowded.

Hands down best place for sushi or tepan. This was the yellowtail sashimi, beautiful dish and just melted in your mouth!

Review №85

2018-11-12 00:21:50

Seems this place has gone down hill over the past years. There is not many retail shops and it is lacking the excitement and energy it once had. it also has a few areas that need a little love but in reality it is an out side mall which rocks so Im cutting it some slack.

We wanted to get a bobba tea but they were out of Boba....it happens. The mall is nice they had live music playing.

2021-06-19 15:00:58

Let me start with the good, Kaleidoscope is located in a great location in beautiful Mission Viejo, near the Shops at Mission Viejo, and just up the road from Costco. On the outside of Kaleidoscope is Panini Kabob Grill, the food is delicious, and very reasonably priced, the staff is friendly and helpful and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. Lots of convenient parking very close. Unfortunately, the rest of the mall is dreary, and doesnt have an inviting feeling. Surprisingly, there are some great places in the mall for sushi, frozen yogurt, a wings restaurant, ect. There is also a movie theater, but Im not sure if it is open. The problem with the Kaleidoscope is probably the management, and lack of vision for the property. What a shame.

Review №88

Lots of empty store spaces. Hoping the movie theater opens soon again.We love there is now a Sal’s pizzeria here. You should try it!

We went to Tapas and Redtide. Tapas was always dirty, bad smell, no service and no quality.( It is closed down now). Redtide was good a year ago but now, it seems they lost the good management. Very poor service, and quality of food also not as good as before. It just doesnt worth it anymore.

Review №90

2017-07-07 14:20:36

Did not like the place due to all the stairs, non-working esclators and one VERY SLOW elevator that stunk like someone urinated in it. They need a better elevator and make it a upgraded elevator. I will pick other places to go see a movie before i go there.

Review №91

2017-06-21 00:05:22

The offerings in the courtyard are minimal, however the new restaurants in the marketplace are worth checking out. Good bar and coffee bar. There is also milk bottle, homemade pasta and Greek style food along with Japanese and Pokey.

I wish this shopping center was packed full with shops... but I guess the mall being less than a quarter mile away doesnt help. The Union Market on the top floor has some cute shops. It definitely has the type of granola vibe that I like with a cute clothing store, cafe, restaurants, a scent and a candy shop. There are other restaurant options on the top like pizza, ramen/Asian, sushi and Mexican. So, if youre hungry, head to the very top floor. There is also A movie theater at the very top. A level down has a Yogurtland and an indoor kids play arena along with a video game shack for those gaming enthusiasts. The first floor has a Burke Williams and a mattress store. Not the most fun floor when youre seeking entertainment.

This place is pretty much on his death bed and it doesnt look like ownership is really trying to do much to keep the kaleidoscope afloat.

I had several items taken from my car. I reported the theft to security and the property management company (Sentinel Development). I was told I had to file a police report for them to move forward, and I was told that thefts frequently occur.I filed the Police Report and told Sentinel Development. I never heard back. Three weeks went by, so I called them back to see what they learned. I was told they had no footage of the theft, that the tapes delete themselves after 2 weeks, and that the Sheriffs office never contacted them so they didnt feel the need to move forward with it. I worked with Casey and Garrett at Sentinel Development. They were of no help. I dont mean to sound like a jerk about this, but its pretty clear they didnt care. And if thefts frequently occur, I think they have a duty to post a sign disclosing as much.Andrew

Its a pretty nice little mall. Though, its selection of stores is very limited; It only has eateries, play places and the theater. Though, there is one clothing seller there, it isnt worth mentioning, especially when the Mission Viejo mall is literally across the street (Crown Valley Parkway).

Bizarro world. Once you get in and navigate the maze of parking structure and out of service escalators, this multi-level entertainment plaza seems odd and lacking in facilities, and maintenance. It seems to be confused about exactly who they are trying to serve and why. I think this would be a perfect place for 13 year olds.

We ate at Rockin Bs Burrito Bandito. The food is great! There is a drawer with marinating meat. That seems like the way to go.I ate a carne asada burrito, and my wife ate the puffy tacos with grilled chicken. Both were delicious. The salsas were tasty, and there were three choices.The only two complaints were that there was not enough dining area, and only one person was on the assembly line.
