Asian Garden Mall

There are lots of little shops, and on weekends—Saturdays and Sundays—outdoor festivals start around 6:30 in the evening. You’ll find many ethnic food vendors, meat vendors, and live music performances. Admission is free, and the whole atmosphere feels like a big Vietnamese get-together at the Asian Garden Mall in Little Saigon. It’s beautiful and full of life. You can see traditional Vietnamese women dressed beautifully, wearing jewelry and gold, adding a cultural charm to the event. There are also many small and delicious food markets, little restaurants, and street vendors selling all kinds of treats. In addition, you’ll find small Vietnamese markets, ice cream shops, and bakeries offering fresh and tasty options. Altogether, it’s a lively, colorful place that combines food, culture, and community spirit.

I recently visited Asian Garden Mall with my family, and it’s still one of the most iconic landmarks in Little Saigon. Architecturally, the mall is notable for its high wooden ceilings, exposed trusses, and natural light from the clerestory windows — giving the space a blend of traditional Vietnamese aesthetics with a touch of postmodern openness. The red lanterns and decorative elements add warmth and cultural identity, especially during the Tet and Mid-Autumn seasons when the space feels most alive. Commercially, the mall is a mix of charm and repetition. There’s a heavy dominance of jewelry stores, áo dài boutiques, and gift vendors, which reflect the strong cultural and ceremonial focus of the Vietnamese community — but the lack of diversity in store types limits the browsing experience. Many vendors sell similar inventory, which can make the layout feel redundant if you’re not looking for something specific. The food court is well-maintained, but nearly all the vendors offer overlapping Vietnamese dishes (pho, bún bò Huế, cơm tấm, etc.), so you’re not getting the kind of variety you might find in newer Asian malls like Rodeo 39 or The Source. That said, the pricing is reasonable, and the quality is authentic, if not cutting edge. Despite the commercial homogeneity, the mall still serves as a social and cultural gathering point. The center stage regularly hosts performances and community events, which is a nice anchor that adds life to the space. On our visit, my kids especially enjoyed the cotton candy vending machine — a small touch of fun amid the more traditional retail offerings. Final thoughts: Asian Garden Mall is a cultural landmark first and a shopping destination second. It’s worth visiting if you want to experience Vietnamese-American heritage in Orange County. Just be aware that it’s more nostalgic than innovative — which may appeal to some and underwhelm others depending on expectations. Overall: 4.2/5

Came to this place on Sep27th for early Moon festival. There were multiple choices of street foods. Enjoyed the atmosphere and lively cultural activities here!

The food was hot and the chicken was good. The hot and sour soup was like like very hot 🥵 and spicy colored water. The people were very friendly the prices reasonable.

So, I have a new appreciation for Asain Garden Mall that differs from when I was a kid. If you want to go to a mall and bargain with vendors, this is the place. The storefronts are reminiscent of the mall in China without the hidden walls that take you to some clandestine gallery of bootleg luxury items. If you cannot find a parking space inside the lot, park on the public street right behind the back lot. There is also an overflow lot to the side of the building. Lots of jewelry shops inside on the second floor and some on the ground floor. Don't be too shy to bargain. Do it or else you will be up sold. Always question and don't be afraid to walk away. Restroom for male and female are on the ground floor, near the stage. Theres always a line for the women's restroom. I've been coming here for over three decades. You know I'll be back, even just to peruse.

Located on Bolsa Ave., in Westminster is this nice Vietnamese Mall. This is the place where you could find a lot of jewelry stores that can give you good pricing on jewelry. They have ample parking but they do get busy during the weekends and holidays. We came on a Sunday afternoon so the crowd wasn’t that much. We have been coming here several times before I made a review and so far all the vendors on the first and second floors are all nice and accommodating. They have all kinds of street food so better come in hungry. I would suggest for first timers to always browse each food vendor and amaze yourself with all the choices they and then finally make your decision. You can never go wrong with all the food choices that you make because they’re all good.

I hadn't been to this Asian Garden Mall for over a decade. Since it was Lunar New Year last week, I flew back to Orange County to celebrate the Lunar New Year party at my friend's house. Asian Garden Mall is a traditional Vietnamese cultural place where people come to buy necessary items for themselves, such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, souvenirs, herbal tea and medicines, and many authentic Vietnamese restaurants. They also have street food at night, where people can try a variety of delicious authentic Vietnamese dishes. This is a place for friends to gather together for social events.

One of the most popular landmarks in Little Saigon! I've been coming here ever since I was little considering I live a block away. They've changed very little and have stayed true to the Vietnamese culture that they've embodied. They have a huge range of shops and at very affordable prices. The food court, bakery, restaurant, makeup counters, clothing shops, and a couple of jewelry stores are on the first floor. There are other clothing stores, arcade, and the rest of the other jewelry counters on the second floor. It is definitely a place for tourists because of all the fun toys and cute gadgets that they have. The parking is a lot more spacious in the back and they've just recently added more to the side a couple of years ago. Highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area! :)

This is honestly the best place to celebrate Lunar New Year. My parents would take me and my brother to this place almost every year. The outdoor festivals during the Lunar New Year are the best. There's also the best foods being sold during the Night Market. The stores inside sell the best food. I had che, toys, and waffles. The best places ever.

Attended AAPI celebration at the Asian Garden Mall. It was a beautiful show with variety dance show and fashion show. It lasted about 3-4 hours. It was sponsor by Little Saigon TV Network.

Asian Garden Mall, known in Vietnamese as Phước Lộc Thọ, is a shopping center in Westminster, California, and one of the largest Vietnamese-American shopping malls. We've been to this Asian Garden Mall in Westminster a few times, and it was an interesting mall to walk around. The mall has a lot of jewelry stores, toy stores, clothing stores even traditional Vietnamese outfits. However, we couldn't find anything to buy, though. It had a lot of authentic Vietnamese food in the food court. They also have dim sum there. They celebrate the Lunar New Year or Vietnamese New Year (Tết), and we've been to their Night Market before, and it was fun to see many food vendors there. It's always a bit challenging to look for parking spaces there. P.S. If you wanna buy something there, make sure to prepare some cash.

It was a fun place for the Asian Market Night. Food was okay, but I would need to try a place that has a good selection and reviews before I can make a comparison. Conditions in the mall need cleaning and renovations.

My goodness, I can only imagine this place in its heyday. According to my family, it was busy and full of food vendors and diverse shops. This has been a staple in the neighborhood for a long while. The number of eateries has dropped, but you can still find plenty of great traditional dishes that are ready-made or made-to-order. Bring cash, as some vendors charge credit card processing fees. As far as retailers go, this is a good place to shop for jewelry, clothing, toys, and Little Saigon souvenirs. Prices seemed on the higher end, perhaps to cater to tourists. Events are still held here, as evidenced by the stages for performances. When we came on a weekend, not much was going on - the focus seemed to be on shopping and dining. Oh, and it was quite warm... the AC wasn't on, unfortunately, and it was quite a sunny day. Parking wasn't awful for us at all. Surprisingly, though we were there in the afternoon, there was a decent amount of parking available in the back.

Great place for anyone looking for good quality gold and diamonds! Lots of food choices that goes from phó to dimsums and drinks. Interior is very authentic promoting Asian ambiance.

A place you can't miss if you're around the Santa Ana area and love asian foods! This place was one of my favourite malls to visit ever since i was a little kid, so coming back was an amazing feeling! I'd recommend walking around the small market shops outside, they have so many things ranging from new year items, food, and decor! The inside of the mall is also a delight, with so many other small restaurants, it's a must try for their dim sum or sugar cane drinks! There is also an upstairs that has more jewelry, clothes, and shampoo, more based on home items. Parking is a massacre so i'd recommend parking at a complex next door and walking, it is free for one hour

BRING CASH and hungry belly. : ) My annual visi to the Asian Garden Mall/Phuoc Loc Tho for Tet/Chinese New Year market. There were Vietnamese music, lots of venders selling New Year items, fruits and lots of fireworks! : ) There are many places to eat inside and outside as well. Tet this year will be on Wednesday 1/29/2025 so Tet Market will be going on until the last weekend prior to this day. I got to see Dragon Dancers as well! It felt like home away from home for a moment with all the beautiful plants, flower, exotic/tropical fruits and Tet accessories for decoration. They have this 1x/year around Tet. It was not so crowded around 7PM on a Saturday night compare to years prior to COVID. Some kids and adults dressed up in their traditional Ao Dai to celebrate which was nice to see. Parking: Free. Be Safe Out There! I have fear of parking in this area because it's always full and busy but I survived! : ) Parkings are behind the mall and also on the street so prepare to walk.

I remember coming here as a kid but haven't been back until recently for the lunar new year market. The market was very festive with fresh flowers/bamboo/orchids and a lot of lunar new year candies and decorations. There wasn't a lot of food options and more for shopping. There is a stage for performances but I didn't see anything happening in a weekday afternoon. Inside the mall are shops selling jewelry, traditional Vietnamese outfits, and a a food court area. I didn't spend a lot of time in the mall. There is a parking lot behind the mall but the parking situation is crazy during the festivals. I was able to find street parking nearby.

Man, Love the Asian Garden Mall. Been coming here since the late 90s, and it has not changed one bit. There is always good food and entertainment here on the Vietnamese Holidays,. So much clothes and jewelry you can buy here, like any other malls. They are just minutes away from the Westminster Mall. But, this is a different kind of mall with limited parking. Sometimes you may have to park across from the street of the mall. I see lots of new stores and restaurants here. So, its nice to know that the mall is still doing well financially.

Where the Little Saigon Night Market take place Friday-Sunday 7pm-11pm June 14-September 1,2024 Overflow parking in the street or at the Seafood cove / Dong Market parking lot across the Asian garden Mall

This place is always talked about and considered a "must see" when in OC. I'm not sure if it is because I've been here too much or if things have changed but I don't personally see the hype. I remember coming here as a kid and it was way more exciting. It does give me a nostalgic feel now as an adult whenever I'd take my parents when they're in town. However there truly isn't much going on here besides the occasional night markets or during lunar new year when it is more packed. There are varieties of shops located inside that ranges from jewelry, clothing, anime, K-pop, to a full food court. The building is outdated both inside and out but if you grew up coming here with your family, then it definitely still provides that nostalgia feeling.

Love the food court where you get a variety of food options. Definitely have to come back and check out the clothing shops for Áo Dài when they open.

I really like this mall. It's a bit small yet there is a good variety of shops. Jewelry, toys, clothing, beauty, bake goods, tea, health and many more stores. There is plenty of parking in the back. At the moment is decorated for Christmas.

When I was younger and my parents would take us down to SoCal, we would always stop by here. Since we were in SoCal and Hubby has never been, I thought that it'll be nice to take him here! We arrived and had a little bit of trouble finding parking due to majority of it in the front being time limited. We drove around a little and was able to find a spot near the side of the building. Upon walking in, there's many shops/restaurants and jewelry stores. I originally wanted to come to buy a nice jade pendant or bracelet, but a lot that I've seen weren't what I was looking for. Hubby and I stopped by for some food and we grabbed some sugarcane juice before walking around. We spotted a store that sells Ao Dai's and decided to walk in to look around. I have always wanted to get traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai's but never got the chance to. I found a few that I liked and tried them on and I had Hubby do the same. We ended up walking out with a few different ones. Overall we had a great time and it was very nostalgic.

I literally lived down the street and never went here. It was a cute spot with stores that have clothing, jewelry, and shoes. My friend told me the food court isn't too great here and to not waste my time. I wish there were better options for everything in general. But it was nice to see this place finally and i was curious about it.

We were visiting our friends who lives not too far from this mall. They suggested we check out their night market festival full of viet street food. It was packed! We parked on the street and walked to the mall itself. We walked in the mall which most stores were already closed. But as soon as we stepped outside it was crazy busy. We could smell all the food. We ordered bbq sticks, lobster, spring rolls, tornado fries, Rangoon, popcorn chicken, shrimp cake/ some that I remembered. It was a such a nice cool night enjoying good food with our friends/family.

This place isn't what it used to be and not because it's failed in someway but more because things are growing around it. What I mean by this is that the place remains the same, it's still being maintained and there are still shops in there. The problem is there are better shops and better food options. We come here more for the memories and to pay respect to its icon status. It remains to be the spot for all Asian immigrants but in particularly, Vietnamese immigrants. This is the spot you go to have a piece of "home". I will keep coming here and will hope that there will be a resurgent at some point for the younger immigrant generations and even those 2-bday-3rd generations.

One of the most popular landmarks in Little Saigon! I've been coming here ever since I was little considering I live a block away.

Great outing for a weekend, tons of fashion stores, jewelery stores, and miscellaneous stores. I love how there's so much culture and different food smells wafting through the indoor mall. Great storefront with wonderful statues. Grab a coffee, treat, and bracelet.

Haven't been here in years. Still dead on weekdays, but the quality of shops and dining options are amazing. Little Saigon and this Asian Garden Mall (two stories tall) is well designed and walkable, with lots of fashion retailers, Vietnamese restaurants, nail/hair salons, bakeries, beverage shops, grocery markets, medical clinics, jewelry stores, gift shops, etc. Parking lot is huge. Enter from back or front entrance. There's plenty to see by walking across the streets too. Looks pretty clean and organized to me. Jewelry section on the second floor. There's lots of space for events, religious gatherings, performance on stage, and more. It really looks and feels like Vietnam if you walk around to observe. The shopping mall doesn't have much customers or tourists inside these days. Super clean place. I absolutely enjoyed the food court options. Some places are worth revisiting in the Los Angeles county region. They have plenty of local security staffs onsite too. Good investment. ATM machine exists. Public restrooms is convenient. I think the food court and views from every angle inside the building is awesome. There's lots of potentials to grow this place. Best of all, everything looks pretty affordable and decent in prices around here. Nice.

I visited this Asian mall since it's supposedly a must see, and a spot to take photos (in front) when visiting the OC, at least for the vietnamese crowd, and maybe mostly the older crowd. I had driven by it once or twice while living in OC years ago but never actually stopped and came inside. Like other reviewers say, it's a mix of shops down below with some closed our out of business, and upstairs is mostly jewelry or medical spaces. I visit during a weekday, so I'm sure it's a bit more popping on the weekends. While inside, I only stopped to purchase a sugar cane drink since so many food booths seemed to offer it.

Mediocre experience. Maybe if you're Vietnamese you can find something special here. Lack of help if you're not Asian/Vietnamese? Let's give people the benefit of the doubt and say they might have limited English skills, and we don't speak Vietnamese, and are not Asian, so maybe a reluctance to greet or help? We were looking to buy 24k gold, but couldn't get help from most venders. Left and went to Artesia, little India and were very happy with our 22k purchase.

2024 Asian Garden night market is a must see. Amazingly authentic and fresh foods from various vendors and moms and pops. Aromatic grilling and flavors. Great family fun event. No entrance fee. Parking is in surrounding parking lots. Move at your own pace and split meals to taste what Vietnam has to offer . Live music and light shows. Affordable pricing as we

Came by here to purchase some ao vai that i need for church i havent come here since last year. But i got some ao dai that i really like.

A pretty historic landmark and a must visit during the summer festivals they host. During the day the place is pretty quiet but it's a great place to buy jewelry - real gold and diamonds. Parking can be limited during peak hours but there is a lot of space available. The night market food is very good but definitely Up-priced. So many cute knick knacks and stores available along with live music - so it's quite loud but you get the see the elders vibe.

I hadn't been to this Asian Garden Mall for over a decade. Since it was Lunar New Year last week, I flew back to Orange County to celebrate the Lunar New Year party at my friend's house.

I love this quaint little hideout. I had to go here to get my mom's expensive watch battery replaced and I also had to pay for a cell phone expert stall to transfer my girlfriend's existing data from her Android to her new iPhone.

The security guard so rude i ask some questions they yell to me he work outside so bad

I would definitely not call this place a MUST SEE. I've visited 2 or 3 times over the years. I have never felt welcome here. The only good find is a place next door that serves over the counter, such as BBQ pork bun, 3 bean drink, etc. called YUMMY Banh Bao.

Oh my god. Asian Garden Mall has one of the worst place to shop. My mom was here to buy a wig and a lady (in her early 50s or late 40s) who is a vendor raised her voice at my mom because my mom needed to talk about something. My mom asked about something 2 times and the lady vendor yelled and raised her voice at my mom. I interfered and said that I would report this because the lady vendor crossed a lot of line and was being very rude. The lady vendor not only raised her voice or yelled at my mom but she also did in front of onlookers and people who were passing by.

Came to pick up a T-shirt at Little Saigon. Clean shop filled with fun items that showcase viet pride. This mall is filled with nostalgia so I'm happy to see it still standing after all these years. Coming to get sanrio stuff and jade bracelets with my mom, sweets from the bakery, platform sandals, sailor moon tshirts with the iron on graphics and bootleg CDs back in the day will always be great memories for me. Also, I park in the lot here and walk over to Bánh Cuốn Tày Ho since their parking sucks there.

A bit of a mixed review that may not be accurate since I came on Lunar New Year (1.22.23). You pay for parking on the holiday, AND some of the streets are shut down. (5/5) The lion dance and the fireworks themselves were amazing. It was really fun watching the lion dancers interact with the kids and taking the LiXi (red envelopes). They started off with bowing to the statues and proceeded their way around the building. If you come on a holiday, be prepared to wait 1+ hour for food bc it's so packed and crazy. The prices for the gift shops there are a little higher so there's definite markups.

01-15-2023 My family and I experienced Vietnamese new year celebration here. Lots of traditional things to see and enjoy: clothing, food, ao dai fashion show, etc. Best time to stroll around to enjoy all the colorful surroundings. The hostess at Nep Cafe mentioned to me that at night time, there are lots of food to savor along the mall. Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

This is the review/5 star for PHAT jewelry repair. there're 3 brothers very professional and friendly with very reasonable price to fix/repair your jewelry. It's worth every penny and 2 hr trafic to get there!! Thanks Phat & his Brothers!!!

It had lots of typical Asian stuff like Asian food, jewelry, clothes, toys, etc. some of the stores only take cash, so bring cash if your come here. There were places to sit and relax. The building was a bit hot though. There was hardly any parking in the building's parking lot, so I had to park far and walk.

There is this little meme on social media amongst young Vietnamese-Americans where they post themselves in front of the Asian Garden Mall and captioning it "visiting the motherland". Although the mall is kind of old-school, it's still pretty cool! It's one of the biggest Vietnamese malls in North America, and the outside is pretty nice to look at. Also relatively clean inside. They also have a few food vendors inside the mall, but I don't think it's anything worth trying. Good if you're feeling hungry though and it's not too expensive. I also bought a couple of Ao Dais (traditional Vietnamese clothing) from one of the stores, and the store owner was really friendly! I bought an Ao Dai for $30 each which I found it to be quite fair. Other than that, this mall is by no means extravagant, but I like to pay my respects to the businesses here and help support the community.

AGM is a nostalgic place for me, and most of the people who work there are friendly. I came by to look for ao dai to perform in & for pageant night. MOST people at the stores are helpful and kind. The store called Don Bay Marketing had some of the worst customer service EVER. The woman in green, who I believe is the business owner, yelled at me as I was exiting the store. I had taken photos in the ao dai which I didn't think was a huge issue since I wanted to see how it looked on me. There was no space in the store for me to look in the mirror fully. So, I took a photo of myself in it. Upon leaving, she told me "if you just come in here to take photos in the ao dai and leave, then don't come back". Good for her because I'm NEVER coming back & you should take your business to shops that aren't like this.

It has been many years since I visited this mall. My aunt and I had fun shopping at the various shops. We got a lot of cute outfits that were reasonably priced. If you like the long Vietnamese dresses, they have quite a few stores that sell these. There used to be more eateries here, but it looks like they got hit with the pandemic and went out of business. It's not as nice as it was before, but still a nice iconic place to visit, especially for tourists or people visiting from out of town.

Ever since I was a little kid, my family would visit this mall and shop whenever we were visiting family in town. This mall holds a lot of nostalgia for me, so it will always have a special place in my heart. The mall is packed with jewelry shops, clothing stores including traditional and modern Vietnamese áo đại, and Vietnamese food and drinks. For Tết, the place is filled with beautiful decorations, and the parking lot packed with food vendors, karaoke, and firecrackers. Most recently, my fiancé and I came to look for our wedding áo đại, and it was so much fun getting to share my culture with him. I'm hoping to be able to return for Tết sometime soon!

Apparently this two-story tall building is the largest Vietnamese-owned mall in America. [Flower Festival]: Each year the Asian Garden Mall hosts its annual Flower Festival two weeks before the Tet Festival (the Vietnamese Lunar New Year). [Night Market]: Each summer (mid June to the Labor Day weekend) the Asian Garden Mall hosts an outdoor night market on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 7 PM to 11 PM. [Parking - Day-to-Day Shopping]: Our party came here on Sunday afternoon and it was one of the most packed Asian shopping mall parking lot I have visited since the COVID shutdown. At least it was free parking and I was able to find a spot after circling around the lot for 15+ minutes. [Shops]: Expect 50% jewelry shops & vendors (there's even a mini jewelry center on the 2nd floor), 16.7% Vietnamese clothing shops selling traditional Vietnamese dress áo dài, 16.7% food court serving Vietnamese food, and 16.7% miscellaneous shops (e.g. salon, a fairly rundown Asian bakery, pop culture shops, etc.) Horrible parking, convenient one-stop shop for quick & mediocre quality Vietnamese street food/bites, and occasional interesting seasonal events (e.g. Flow Festival and Night Market) - take the bad with the good & I guess the mall is alright.

I've been coming here for years with family and now my own family. Its an indoor Asian mall filled with a food court, souvenir shops, and a ton of competing jewelry shops. You can find a good deal on a lot of items here and bargain with the many different vendors since there's so much competition inside. I used to come back then when the monks used to stand outside in the scorching sun barefooted holding their donation baskets. Ever since Covid I haven't seen them anymore.

Came here for Vietnamese food, durian smoothie, and jewelry. My favorite durian smoothie place is closed after COVID, which is sad. I would usually pick up a few snack/street food items from the food court. I also come here if I want to do retail therapy with jewelry shopping. There are a lot of jewelry vendors I can choose from. In case if your jewelry is damaged, there is a vendor who can fix your jewelry with a reasonable price. There are some parking in the front and more in the back. It was never an issue. Might have to take a little walk if I happened to park further away.

It was a great experience for me today. The parking was not so bad or completely full. I was surprised, since the last few times that I was, it packed.

It's an alright mall. Most of the stores is just jewelry while 10-20% is food, drinks, clothes, and cute supplies. If you want to splurge on jewelry, there's plenty of options to pick from! But if you're here for food and drinks, it's mostly Vietnamese food and drinks. Of course, there's sugar cane juice here too. I forgot when they do it, but sometimes they have a fun night market here at times with street food and clothes to buy. Some of the workers don't speak English that well so be patient as they work on your order. As for parking, it can get super crowded even though the lot is big. I usually find parking though!

This Mall at this time of year and as it gets closer to CNY, is just busy. You have to take your time with purchase especially in the diamond and gold areas.

We came during the night market on a Friday night. It was fairly busy but the vendors said it gets even busier on Saturday! We got the banh khot from this stand and it was delicious! It was $15 for 7 pieces which is standard from nightmarket prices. It was my first time trying banh khot and it was such a great experience. It was nice and crispy but still soft and creamy in the middle. The fish sauce that came with the banh khot was so delicious and elevated the food.

I myself am not Vietnamese, but I have always been intrigued by this place. I decided to go to today and walk around. Pros: I like the feel of the place. It looks like it hasn't been updated since it opened in the 80s but I like that. Cool place to visit once. There's seats at the top level that overlook the mall. Cons: Not much variety. Mostly jewelry stores and trinket shops selling cheap quality overpriced items. Left with nothing. Actually quite small. The place looks huge from the outside, but it's pretty small. Small food court. I was expecting more food choices. If you're not Vietnamese, you might get funny looks or stares from the older folks. I don't mind the stares but when my boyfriend and I walked by, some ladies outside of their shops looked at us, laughed, and spoke in Vietnamese. Maybe it was nothing, but the way they looked at us and laughed made me feel like it was directed at us.
