South Bay Galleria

South Bay Galleria is a solid go-to spot for shopping, dining, and family time. The layout is easy to navigate, and there’s a good mix of major retailers, smaller specialty shops, and plenty of food options. It’s clean, well-lit, and feels safe, which makes it a comfortable place to spend a few hours. We especially appreciated the family-friendly vibe—there’s something for everyone, from a quick coffee stop to catching a movie. Parking is usually pretty easy too. Whether you’re running errands or just looking to relax indoors, South Bay Galleria is a great local option.

It has a nice mix of stores without feeling overwhelming. I like that it’s not as packed as the bigger malls, so shopping is actually relaxing. The food court has some good options, including a poke bowl place I always stop at. Parking is easy and free for the first few hours. It’s a solid spot for errands or a casual day out

How does this place stay open? They have a dinosaur “fun area” for kids that looks completely dilapidated. It’s what I imagine The "Willy Wonka" event in Glasgow must have been like. If you enjoy being the only person in a mall and having the complete undivided attention of a few workers in the even fewer stores that are still open, then sure - this plays rocks.

This mall use to be the place to go but now it definitely needs a remodel. The only thing this mall has going for itself is the AMC theater. So hopefully they can do something about that especially since I live so close and the other malls are to far

South Bay Galleria combines historical elegance with modern entertainment. Its stunning glass ceiling fills the space with natural light, creating a captivating atmosphere. The diverse arcade options cater to both youth and adults, offering endless entertainment. Foodies will delight in the variety of culinary offerings available in the different food stores, satisfying every craving. The AMC cinema provides a cinematic experience with the latest blockbusters and state-of-the-art technology. Overall, South Bay Galleria is more than just a shopping destination—it's a vibrant hub of entertainment, dining, and cultural experiences, blending historical charm with contemporary amenities to appeal to locals and tourists alike.

Don’t be fooled by the website, this mall is all but abandoned. You could easily see all the shops here in 1hour, 75% are boarded up. The mall itself is fine, well played out, clean and in good repair. One of the shop clerks told me that the mall is so empty they use it and the car parks to film horror movies.

Freshen up the place, add a coat of paint! Update the signs. There is no valet parking. Fix the elevators! It's a dying mall. There is no denying that. But the stores that are open are nice stores. Lots of good places to shop and places for the kids to play. The mall does need tlc more than anything

A nice guilty pleasure to sit at the bar before a movie, have a drink and order my dine in. Safe parking and family friendly. Such a cozy vibe, sometimes I' ll watch the same movie again 🤣😂.

They need to open up some new stores inside but the surrounding area has all sorts of stores I love to frequent. Sprouts, Kohls, Target, Islands, AMC, Zumiez, Red Robin, Tilly's and Hot Topic are all legit. Also the coffee shop near Red Robin. Sad to see recent closings hope they lower the rent or otherwise find ways to help new stores open up. They should encourage pop ups and esports tournaments, just various one time events that bring hype and foot traffic. An iconic south bay establishment

This mall is dead! Based on review and scores I thought I was headed somewhere I could spend an afternoon, but I should have been skeptical when I pulled in and parked right in front of a major entrance. If I told you there were 20 people here, that would be a generous estimate. I saw 6-8 people walking around with another 6-8 eating in the small food court. 1/3 of the store fronts were empty, even the movie theater was dead. There is a mall near me that is also 1/3 vacant. That tells me the owner operator needs to offer incentives and possibly renegotiate leases. I ended up buying some watered down lemonade but was only inside for about 30 minutes, the time it took to walk the structure. High traffic area, they just need to jump-start some excitement.

TL;DR at bottom. Long rant. Wanna read? This mall was ok and it could be better. Yesterday on Sunday April 27. I've found myself at another mall, in a city, located next to a beach city, faraway from my home area because of events, alone Killing time. This 3-stories mall has seen some better days, malls like these had charm but are starting to go away day by day. Good things first. I am amazed at how nice and how much this mall has to offer. Even with many closed shutters and some stores operating, waiting around for a few customers to pop in, they still have great service and atmosphere. A few "Futuristic" ice cream vending machines in the mall. Even a few therapeutic massage parlors were running. "Meet Me in the Dirt" Entertaining from the main road, through the anchor stores; Macy's. The parking lot was in mildly rough condition, and how they designed the enter/exit roads needs more stop signs. It looks like they haven't fixed the lot for years, I didn't view the parking garage however. I've never seen other small store than a place like here. It's all filled with a variety of stores that still have their own charm. I met a lady working at a Hawaii-themed shop and she told me that this mall has been "getting quiet" (do not go after/harass the people mentioned in this review). Malls aren't thriving as they we're in the 90s. "Authentically Hawaii" I was walking past many empty store with their entrance shutters locked. For every one store that was operating, there was a few that weren't. Name brand were there but even they had few customers. It was relatively clean because lack of foot traffic, like the last mall I went to. So service were fast. This place deserves more foot traffic. Now for the not-so-good. Some of the stores had an old smell to them. The mall it self didn't "stink" but they could maybe do what all places do and use a scented-freshener. There was this one store called, "GTAT Vintage". That thrift shop was just overpowered with lemon pledge. I don't know if it was me but when I left, my eyes and nose stopped stinging a bit. The food court. Located at the top. Limited options but at least has a Hotdog On A Stick and Mongolian bbq. Classic! Even Crepes. Food court was the 2nd populated area of the mall. 1st goes to the small AMC rereleasing Revenge of the Sith and A Minecraft Movie, at this time. I bought a slice of pizza from "Napoli Pizza" as a small mid-day lunch for $8.11. Solely because it reminded me of the Combo pizza Costco used to have, 6.5/10 on the mall food court pizza scale. Should've bought a corn dog instead. Off to the side there was a coin-op kiddy-rides next to the down escalator. There were so many tables compared to how many restaurants present. The table to restaurant ratio favoring this place unlike other places. Plenty of elbow room. Not to mention that It's also where the *Only Bathrooms* are located, except the one in the Red Robin restaurant at the front mall entrance. All toilets in the mens restroom were locked and had only one was working. I asked a front desk attendant about other bathrooms but those were my only two choices! Five toilets and only one was working! Couldn't believe it. Finally became my turn to flush. Why would a mall like this size only have restrooms located there? They should install restrooms near the center of the mall too! Finally after all that, I went back to the Hawaii store and bought a something so I didn't leave empty handed and left to complete the event. In the end, its a another mall that's fading away because of times changing and internet shopping. I hope to comeback to this mall not alone. Fun fact: I was looking up how to spell "Wetzel's Pretzels" and turns out... THIS WAS THE FIRST MALL LOCATION WHERE THE CHAIN FIRST OPENED UP!? They should really advertise that and see if they get any more because by that. Sadly the food stand from the pic in the Wiki, is no longer in service but they still have one near the food court. TL;DR: Quiet mall, kind of fading away, meh-parking lot, disappointed at Mens restrooms, stuffy, good people, Wetzel's Pretzels yes, service good, staff nice. Would comeback to kill a little time here! So if you want to swing by from Redondo or Hermosa beach to this mall, go for it.

What an absolute ghost town. Even on Saturday this place was beyond empty with very few people walking around. Sad to see because it definitely looks like a place that was once popping with people. Many of the stores were closed/empty and the mall looks like it hasn't been renovated in YEARS. Overall they have some decent stores but its not somewhere I would want to spend more than an hour or two since the lack of people makes the vibe feel sad.

South Bay Galleria has a unique layout, with about 120 shops spread out over 3 floors. The main anchor stores at the moment are Macy's, Kohls, Wonder of Dinosaurs and AMC Theaters. It's an indoor mall with an open roof in some spots so there is plenty of natural sunlight that gives a vibe of an atrium. The building is easy to navigate and has a decent food court that include Red Robin, Cinnabon, Neighbor Hood Cocina and Wenzel Pretzels. I

South Bay Galleria is a 3-story mall located in Redondo Beach which has as its primary department stores as Kohl's and Macy's. It has a huge food court with a very nice and large area for seating with a lot of light coming in from above. I found this to be a really nice feature for a mall. This mall has been around some 30 years or so, and I believe they have plans to remodel it within a couple years and expand it. The one main feature about this mall that I really liked is the unique stores it has compared to a lot of the other malls. For example, they have stores like The 4th Basement, At the Pier Arcade, and Battleground. They also have the really cool store Wonder of Dinosaurs. This is a great place to bring kids. We loved this place. They also have an AMC movie theatre, and a few different type of cell phone stores for purchase or repair, a Folks for Folks unusual store, and a Fanzz which is really cool. As for the restaurants in the food court, they also had some unique places like Arepa's, Cocina Mexican, French Touch and the Meli Mellow Café. We actually ate at the neighborhood Coffee and Tea restaurant downstairs. Not only this but outside the mall within walking distance are several main restaurants like Islands. This all adds to the attraction of this mall. Another really nice feature of this mall is its openness and light. You can really see this on the third floor, especially around the food court. They have a nice large central elevator and escalators as well all throughout the mall to make it easy to get around. The parking was pretty good as well. All free and close. I do look forward to any expansions or renovations they make. We will definitely come back here.

The good: This mall made me really nostalgic for the 90s and the mall that I frequented as a kid in San Jose. It is spacious with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural skylight from the glass windows and ceilings. There are lots of kid-friendly shops and attractions here like the Dinosaur play space that occupies the former Nordstrom's and the motorcycle motorized vehicles that you could ride with kids. The food court had a cotton candy machine and other machines from which you could win prizes. There was a store that was a small arcade. There was also a virtual reality area and the theater. The food court was spacious. The bad: A lot of the shops are cheaper stores like Q (first floor of the former Nordstrom's) which sells cheap clothes made in China. There was trash left in the Pooh Bear coin operated ride in the food court. The machine to convert bills to coins was out of operation. The interior is clean but a little bit outdated in appearance. The interesting: Nordstrom's moved to Del Amo mall. They are making plans to convert this space to a modern and trendy outdoor shopping area. This mall used to be more open to the outside air when it was first built. You cannot exit to the outside from the Q store. A lot of the store was sectioned off and empty.

Dropped by on a whim so my son could enjoy the dinosaur exhibit. The mall was empty and was clean. Tons of space to walk around and had tons of parking. It had several big name stores but more mom and pop type retail shops. There was a good presence of security that I noticed so it felt safe. I didn't stay long but would be back again if visiting town just for the exhibit.

A mall that has definitely seen better days. Came here for the AMC, and thought we'd arrive a bit early to walk around the mall. Unfortunately, the majority of stores are closed, and what's left is a weird selection of stores you've never heard of. It's sad that this mall is on its last leg. I'm guessing the newer, bigger, better Del Amo mall close-by is going to put this mall completely out of business.

I always go to this mall, service was 10/10 amazing, I would always go to the hot topic there and search for my chemical romance merch but unfortunately didn't/ aside that I did find my other fav bands shirts. I wanted to go to spencer's but then saw that they were gonna move and went to hot topic instead. overall, the mall is good you should go there

Love coming here! I rated 3 stars because the yogurt land downstairs had nasty-tasting yogurt. As if it were expired ... I tried to reason with the gentleman but it was a franchise .... so it felt like a tug of war with customer satisfaction..... The candy was also very expensive for just a bit Other than that, I always enjoy my time & love how it's not so huge so I know my way around

Visited on Monday, 07/25/22. This place is going downhill. Management definitely needs to do something about it or else this mall will lose a lot of money, customers, employees, and ultimately be completely closed forever and ever. This mall has so many empty stores meaning that business is not so great. There is an AMC theater inside and several arcade-like stores. 3 floors inside this mall and limited food options around the Food Court area. I love the skylight when looking above but other than that, this place needs some sort of renovation in order to boost/drive business. If management continues this trend and does not take action then this place will become a ghost town for good.

The South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach, CA, is a fairly large mall. It's not the SoCal type of outdoor mall that I have grown to love, however, it is a very family-friendly one. My kids really enjoyed Wonder of Dinosaurs: https://www.yelp.com/biz/wonder-of-dinosaurs-redondo-beach-3?hrid=Q6-1mz20_Fcz3JDxv2xOQA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) There are a few other shops that offer an environment for kids from toddlers up to teenagers to let off some steam. Parking is free. Food court is alright. I'm not big on mall food courts, though. There are two Wetzel Pretzels... a good fattening pretzel snack with the jalapeño cheese. Mmm mmm... Lol. Close to the 405 Freeway.

So sad to see this place so empty. Just went there today and I remember this place was awesome. There is parking everywhere- I remember the days where it was so hard to find a good spot. I went to Macys and Kohl's and they were both sad too. I walked the mall a bit but there is literally just a handful of stores open. It's only a matter of time before they close this place down.

We've been at South Bay Galleria so many times in the past and this place was always crowded and happening. Came back on Saturday 12/10/22 and wow, this place has become a ghost town! Barely any stores are open. I'm giving it 4 stars bc they now have some cute places for parties and they carer to kids and fun activities. They have a skating place called Skate Farm, they also have other fun places for parties. Other stores are still open such as Bath and Body Works, Macy's, Kohl's, CPK, etc... they have specialty stores as well. The food court is the same, crowded as before. They have many different restaurants. Parking is now easy to find. I'm so glad I got to go so I can have ideas for my next party. Oh, I want a o add that the restrooms are really nice and clean.

Fairly empty mall with a lot vacancies. Came at noon on a Saturday and hardly anyone walking around. Several escalators were broken. However, it is pretty clean and there are a few activations for kids and families with some shops open (vast majority were closed) - the mall culture of meandering and strolling is non existent.

I haven't been to this mall in what seems like ages! I needed to get a birthday gift and this mall had stores I know my friend likes and shops at. A bonus is that it's not as crowded as other malls in the nearby vicinities, so that's always a major plus! I got the gifts that I wanted to get ... super stoked about that! My friend is a huge fan of the show, "Better Call Saul" so, I thought it would also be nice to get him something from there to have a good chuckle.... He loved it! Lol. As mentioned, I haven't been to this mall in a long time. I wasn't sure if they had a Cinnabon or not. So, I went to the directory. As I was looking to see if they had one, a super friendly and helpful security guard came up to me and asked if I needed help looking for something. Wow! Talk about service!!! I really appreciated him and it was so kind of him to offer.

Even more empty stores than the last time I was here, the few stores that are open are very few and far between, Macy, Kohls and the AMC Theaters anchor this mall, the food court is about 50% occupied, Many of the shops are VR game business and a small roller rink/party venue and a martial art studio. Not worth the time unless you need Kohls, Macy's or AMC.

Galleria has definitely been through the ringer throughout the years, with it seeming to slowly fall apart. This is the nearest mall to me and I have been here for around 20+ years, and I'm worried for it's changes. About a couple years ago Pre Covid, South Bay galleria was definitely a good shopping center with all of the shops that you could find at others. (H&M, forever 21, kohls, etc) Now it has seemed to decline with majority of the large chain businesses closing, leaving small businesses to run the show. While I love love the idea of a mall with smaller businesses as their shops, I have a bad feeling that this may not survive and the fact that it's always empty and closes at 7 does not help... Their main business here is AMC which I can say is definitely updated with all the nice seating. I am just worried about the rest of the mall. I hope this mall finds its footing soon! It's such a good area!

Went to the mall to see a movie at the AMC Theater. The movie was sold out. No problem, I would go to the Del Amo AMC which has tickets. Why the bad review you ask? When I went to leave I discovered all the escalators were operating in only the up direction. Had to go down the stairs. I saw an employee and asked about it. She said I was wrong, but when she checked she said I was right. A fire hazard for getting out. As I worked towards the exits I found one door blocked by trash cans. Another had blockage across them saying closed. A third the doors had chains and lock preventing its use. A real fire hazard. Don't think I will be back any time soon

What would you buy with a $25 gift card for South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach, California? I won a $25 gift card from a contest on Instagram. I tagged my friends, Ran, Craig, and Alana... and they also won gift cards! Anchored by Macy's and Kohl's, shopping at South Bay Galleria is a fun and pleasant experience! I truly enjoyed the three levels of air conditioned comfort! I had been here before because of the well stocked Kohl's Department Store. I was able to use the Kohl's Cash that I got from Las Vegas here! Yay! Other stores as of 6/3/19 include Foot Locker, H&M, Forever 21, Claire's, Justice, Zales, Shoe Palace, Bath & Body Works, and boutiques such as My Room and Granny Takes A Trip. Other great features of South Bay Galleria are the Movie theater, Farmer's Market on Thursdays, and Guest Services where lottery tickets may be purchased and redeemed. On the third level, there is a Food Court which currently has a Panda Express, steak place, Mexican cuisine, Hot Dog on a Stick, Bubble Waffle, and more! I'm looking forward to returning and spending more time at the South Bay Galleria!

I've been going to this mall since I was a kid and it is a great mall. But lately there are less and less stores the food court is half empty, just a few good places to eat. Today 8/12/23 was the first time we had a bad experience with the security guard (initials are S. W.) We were attending my younger child's Taekwondo school at 9:00am. Keep in mind that the mall is empty and does not open until 11:00am. My 14yr old son was just waiting outside the doors of the school until she was finished. He was approached by the security guard and was told that he cannot sit on a chair that was next to a vendor's kiosk, which this kiosk was closed and sealed. He was just sitting on the chair. So he moved and stood next to a wall. The second time around he told my son he can't stand there and made him move. Third time he came around he again told my son he can't stand there either. Fourth time he told my son he can't sit on the floor, when he wasn't even sitting he was in a squat position leaning against the school's wall. This security guard kept on harassing my son every time he came by. That was uncalled for. The security guard had a power trip over my child and not once did he ask my son where are his parents. He kept coming by harassing him. Now this is early in the morning with barely no other people around. He just kept going by and harassing him. To SB galleria, you need to train your people better to be more respectful to young children and find out where their parents are rather than harassing a child.

Beautiful Mall. Clean and great customer service. Tool my partner to look for clothes for her new job with the city of Los Angeles. Lots of choices of clothes from many different stores in the mall. We got somethings we needed and will for sure be visiting again in the neat future

Ahh the South Bay Galleria! *cue dreamy music, harp dramatically playing* I remember frequenting this place often back in high school on weekends dressed to the 9s to people watch, spend money and to be seen lol! This mall has aged very well, as have I ;) There's a "skate farm" - indoor skate park, and has sort of a carnival feel to it *Massage place *Virtual Reality *Cinnabon *Indoor air-soft *3d/4d Ultrasound *food court is YUMMM *resting area near restrooms and even a breastfeeding private room *dinosaur 2 story jumper thingy majig place *movie theater *no name AND big name clothing and shoe stores -We even rode some indoor motorcycle things (the name escapes me) and they were super fun. It was pretty cheap too! I'm sure I have missed quiet a few stores but all in all this mall has gotten even better with time, the new layout, the new stores, the new security was even polite!! 100/10- whenever I visit this area- I will come here to shop and or enjoy

The South Bay Galleria is sadly going downhill after the loss of Nordstrom. Macy's and Kohl's are still tenants, but there seems to be a lot vacancies now. I remember when they had Sephora, Banana Republic, William Sonoma, Godiva, Ann Taylor Loft, Godiva, and other favorites of mine. There's still an AMC theater, food court, CPK, and Starbucks. Maybe a major renovation is in its future.

What the heck happened to the Galleria?!?! This USED to be the "it" mall back when I was growing up. This mall had all the cool stores and everyone would go there to hang out. Now, to sum it up, it sucks. The majority of the stores in there are stores I've never even heard of that sell random stuff. There were even a bunch of empty spots as well. Nothing seemed "cool" about this place anymore and it's in need of a major update. Everyone in there, employees included, had no enthusiasm to be there. I did see a few recognizable stores like Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, but nothing else. I had to stop at the Children's Place to pick up a pair of dress pants for my son and I was shocked that the mall had fallen to what it was. With Del Amo getting a major revamp, I can see why this place sucks now. For anyone looking to venture here, just drive a few miles down Hawthorne Blvd and go to Del Amo instead.

This mall is beautiful...well organized and individual units are easy to spot. Im not really one who goes to the mall but when I dont have a choice, its a pleasure to step insode one that is as organized as this one. I love the different restaurants and businesses ran inside. Parking is awesome and organized as well.

I do like this mall, I'm a fan! It is easy to find your way around here. It is clean and kept up, for the most part! I am not a total fan of the people who shop here, I won't go into detail. TIP: If you want to go directly to the food court, use the outside escalator on the backside of the mall off of Kingsdale Ave. For me, the third floor is the main attraction...that's where the food court is! There are a number of eateries here. You should be able to find something to satisfy your hunger so you can carry on shopping! One of my go-to spots is Charley's Philly Steaks. If you want more of a dine in place, there is Johnny Rockets (3rd floor) and Red Robin (on the first floor). There is an AMC Theater on the third floor. I've seen a few movies here, but not since they recently remodeled it. I haven't really done too much shopping here, except at Kohl's. And I come here a tad bit too often for that! There are always great deals there. In terms of shopping, there are only a few stores I shop at, so it is what it is! This mall has a great feature which I can't say (m)any other malls offer. They have a program called the Insider, you join and they alert you to happenings/events going on at the mall. They also send you an email to come in and collect a birthday gift card! Sweet! Through the years, I've also won free AMC Theater tickets. Are you an Insider? Join today!! www.southbaygalleria.com/insider/#join If you follow them on Instagram @southbaygalleria, you can keep up with them, too! They also have a Kids Club which meet on the third floor the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30PM. I love that they take time to decorate the mall. Especially for Christmas, it is ALL DECKED OUT! This year they have One thing I noticed is that there is this new kiosk store called Wild Life Adventures. It is a cute idea for children, not so novel for adults. The children get to drive these animals freely all around the mall. Some children have never driven anything and others are going to be bad adult drivers one day. For the most part, the children are followed by a parent as they shop. You may find yourself dodging an animal or two zooming by while you are walking through the mall. If you want to avoid these, walk on the 2nd and 3rd floors. This mall may not be for everyone, but it is okay! I find reasons to come here just about every couple of weeks, if not more often. If you want exercise, there are 3 floors to walk around! If you need to sit and rest, there are areas for that.

Huh. I don't understand how this mall is still open- it completely sucks. Back in its heyday, it was the beautiful, upscale mall between the three on this street (Anyone remember Old Town? Best Products?) The highlight for me was the outside escalator that goes up three stories, even if I didn't need to be on the top floor. The stores here are mediocre and geared more towards teeny boppers than adults. Think Sweet Factory, Claire's, Windsor, Hot Topic, etc. The food court is generic and blah. I used to go to Godiva for gifts, but even they deflected for the shinier floors and prettier lighting at Del Amo. Now that Galleria has lost its anchor store (Nordstrom) to Del Amo, what is left?? A Macy's and a Kohl's?! Oh and both had terrible selections my last visit. Overall, I'll be surprised if this mall stays open without a remodel or better shops. Pros: - lots of parking - nice theater - down the street from Del Amo :) Cons: - meh stores - meh dining - Hawthorne is always annoyingly trafficky

DO NOT BUY A GIFT CARD FOR THE MALL They eat $3 per month as a fee (EVEN IF THE MALL IS CLOSED) and are not helpful/wont refund these "maintenance charges". STAY AWAY from this trash mall!

I probably haven't been here in 5-7 years and Nordstrom was still at this mall. I knew that they're going to do a big renovation that won't be ready until 2023, but I still finally decided to return on a Friday in early August when I knew I was already going to be in the area...huge mistake! I should have just kept going to the Del Amo Mall like I always do. It took me about 30 minutes to walk through all 3 floors. There must have been at least 15 empty vacancies, plus the Nordstrom has been long gone! The stores that were open weren't that appealing or seemed to be the mom and pop tyle of retailers you see at a swap meet. Each floor isn't that big as it is. I would have given 1 star if it wasn't for the food court, which had a good variety of places and was nicely arranged on the 3rd floor, but I didn't eat at any of them this time. I strongly suggest that you don't return here until AFTER the renovation which desperately needs to be done! Again though, it won't be done for a long time still...4 more years!! Here's an article about the renovation: https://urbanize.la/post/redondo-beach-city-council-approves-south-bay-galleria-development

On a recent visit to the southbay, it rained everyday so we were looking at places to go without relying on the outside conditions. We had already been to the more popular and packed Del Amo Fashion Mall and looking to spend some during the day. The Galleria is very obvious from the main drag of Hawthorne Boulevard but I think lacks the modern facade updates that attract shoppers. I had expected to go into a deserted mall with neglected and dilapidated conditions. To my surprise, the mall is kept in tip top condition even as many of the storefronts are vacant. There are still anchor stores such as Macys and Kohls. The mall interior is very spacious and with a lot of nice high skylights which on this day only showed all the rain coming down but I can imagine a typical Southern CA sunny day with the sun shining through. There are 3 levels of shopping with a good food court on the top floor. Everything was in good order and noticed all tables being cleaned as soon as diner left. We spent some considerable and more than I had expected time in this hidden gem of a mall. I really hope that the Galleria can get some new tenants in and bring more traffic in.

This place has gone downhill fast. Most of the quality stores have left. So many empty store fronts. Also, I personally don't feel safe anymore. I've had several people follow me from store to store. There is no security in sight. The only reason I still come here is because on the movie theater.

I've been coming to this mall since I was a baby. It's conveniently located on Hawthorne & Artesia. They have valet by Red Robin, and an ample amount of parking. You can park in front, behind or in the structure. Customer Service is always helpful. Sometimes they offer discounts at the stores. There is new attractions at this mall where the kids can play where the Nordstrom's used to be, and they have a train ride for tikes. The food court has a variety of food to choose from. From Thai to Japanese. This mall is my to go to mall for my simple and quick shopping at Q or looking for the perfect gift. If you're looking for a kid friendly mall this is definitely the mall for you. Oh! They have a family room (bathroom) for families with small children. They have sinks and potties for them too.

Staff in the sephora department at kohl's suck ass they need to be properly trained because they had me driving back and forth 2x because they didn't have any information of mine to do an exchange left with an unhappy customer so don't be surprised if the customers get upset

If you happen to see a tumbleweed rolling around.​..well it should not be a big surprise. The South Bay Galleria has been so iconic as it appears on certain television shows back in early 2000's. Remember Even Steven on Disney Channel? Well, ​it was filmed at this mall! But with all things good, will come to an end. . . . This was the place to go to if you lived in​ the south bay area, it had the AMC, favorite stores as a teenager and many food court places here as well! We all have seen some places comes and go, you know that Chick-Fil-A​ or the Nordstrom, Banana Republic or many of the small knick-knack​ store that was not able to survive. Well with the new facelift of Del Amo mall, everyone has been flocking towards that direction of Torrance! And South Bay Galleria is a little bit more desolated now since some major players left this location. It always feels​ so empty now, and in and out, not like what it used to be. Looks like Macy's soon will go as well, and although they renovate some parts of the mall, such as the one and only elevator available inside the walking area of the mall. Some parts are still old and hidden. There are a lot of empty stores, making it feel empty as it already is. There is a Target close by and the AMC is still inside the mall, and there are several banks close by to the mall. In general, the location is good as it is easily accessible and convenient. But the inside is very hollow out. This mall is still part of my favorite as it is conveniently close, and it has H&M, Forever 21, Windsor, Express, Victoria's Secret, some shops that I like still definitely remained. The food court provides a good variety, from McDonald's to Mongolian BBQ or perhaps some Philly​ cheesesteak sandwiches​s. There is​ two Wetzel Pretzel location, which is awesome! There is a bathroom in the food court, but I like to go to Kohl's or Macy's bathroom to avoid any crowds. Parking: The parking is definitely abundant. They have to park​​ surrounding the whole entire mall. I recommend this mall, but what I would like to see is more stores being added. If they can renovate some part of the mall, such as Macy's to give it an upgrade, that would be nice. Overall, this mall is very clean and so is the food court.

I haven't been here in a while I was so shocked to learn there is no longer a pink ?? No more Abercrombie & fitch ?! No more forever 21 !? just empty stores and plenty of tiny party/arcade rooms for small children it's kind of sad seeing a childhood mall going close to its end of days ;( but I will say it's mostly empty so if you have a specific store there in mind it's a good call for no lines and fast service

Three floors of shopping goodness. With three levels, they didn't need as much of a total real estate footprint. This makes the mall feel small even though they have a fair amount of stores. You can walk from one end to the other in a couple of minutes. This can be useful if you're looking to get to a specific spot quickly. Liked coming here when they had a book store but alas that is long gone. It's a clean busy mall in a prime location with crazy in and out traffic flow. During the holidays, driving through here is to be avoided at all cost. Well, I mean if your sanity is a priority. Also used to visit if Chick-fil-A was wanted before they built one across the street. And it has the only Red Robin in the area (good burgers).

This mall has a social media presence and gives out prizes. I thought this was the coolest thing until I won. Ironic? Yeah, I thought so too. I won a valet pass for 2015 and thought to request a swap for train tickets (someone else on Instagram won train tickets) for my boys. I was advised to wait as train tickets were not currently available). I waited. July. August. September. And I waited. October. November. I just message and the SBG social media person facebook messaged me that they 'don't believe try can swap out at this time.' What the what?? I waited 5 months for a reneg that came when my original prize (unused) was expiring?! :(( -- As for the rest of the mall, 'it's got potential.' Sure, things could be newer but we used to like this mall. It's so kid friendly. My son LOVED the adorable train that loops the mall and its very engaging Conductor who is always in character. The ever improving Kids' Club offers biweekly events for SAHMs and monthly events for those that work. Their best event yet was the recent Christmas party with Shrek, elves, Santa and Mrs Claus. While kids waited for these headliners, they got to interact with roaming magicians, jugglers and elf on stilts. There was free face painting, breakfast, crafts, games, music and a set of Shrek ears to take home. I know it was for kids but even my hubby and I thought it was amaze balls! I took a few pictures. We come here every other week for dinner or errands. Location is central with a great grocer (Sprouts) in the complex. Panera, Jamba Juice and Target are convenient too. The food court offers us two favorites - the Great Khan Mongolian and the Thai Kitchen that is really more Chinese (noodles are awesome in any country). Inside the mall, we frequent Gymboree (cause the little ones have to look extra cute with new threads), Red Robin (taking a break from yelling and letting the kids drop a pea or two) and Kohl's (other budget friendly stuffs). Service at the Concierge is spot on. It's much larger and so has more shopping and budget options than Manhattan Beach Village. It's more kid friendly than The Point. And a super plus is that it doesn't draw the sometimes questionable clientele of Del Amo ($10 bucks that their new mall doesn't stay nice for long, so sad but there seriously some not so nice visitors there). Unlike another reviewer, I have never had a parking issue here - I always park on ground level and seem to be 5-7 cars away from an entrance. If you have problems walking 25 feet, then I'd say a mall is not for you period. ...The elephant in the room is what this mall will do to replace the shops, most notably Nordstrom, that left for Del Amo. I hope we get better...

Mainly decent mall with a very random selection of stores, plus some sort of overpriced dinosaur themed place with mini golf and activities...? An interesting mall that's for sure!!

YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2018 - 43/100. As a middle-schooler, I couldn't wait to get dropped off to simply walk around this mall to kill time and shop for whatever was cool and hip at the time. I also remember their food court being less than mediocre then, so I rarely really ate or snacked there. Fast forward a couple of decades later and it's clearly had its ups and downs. Gone are well-known stores like Nordstroms and The Gap as well as Banana Republic, to name a few. Slowly but surely, more and more stores are closing, their spots left empty for some time. But still some of the more familiar ones remain, like Foot Locker and Bath and Body Works. There are also a few new (but not-so-popular) stores that may be worth going into for browsing. I come here mainly to watch movies and maybe some lunch. Interestingly enough, their food court has made some good (albeit minimal) improvements! Much better choices now than I remember. Online shopping is more likely the reason for lesser and lesser traffic on most malls nowadays. (I'm pretty guilty of it.) It's sad, but it is reality. I have hopes they stick around for awhile if only for AMC and the food court.

The Forever 21 is going too! A good chunk of stores are now closed, maybe the mall is 40% vacant? Maybe more? Aside from the 3 Qs it has on the first floor (why does one mall need 3 Qs?), everything else seems to be leaving. I was here when it was raining and mall management had buckets placed throughout the mall to catch rain water dripping from the cracked glass ceiling. Not exactly the condition the mall was once in. I used to work in this mall through college. There wasn't an empty store there. High end, too! They all seem to have moved to the Del Amo mall after their remodel. Manhattan Village is also renovating. I imagine that's going to be the final nail in the coffin for the Galleria. The glory days are gone, it's headed for the same fate as the Hawthorne Mall. Certain hours of the day it doesn't even seem safe anymore, and seems to be filled with questionable characters. All those articles in the news about a SB Galleria renovation need to happen soon. I don't know how much more the surrounding community can handle before it turns into crime central and drags down the area with it. And if/when they do renovate, completely new mall management is needed. They've turned this place into the roadium swap meet. Time for a change!

This was my first time coming here and I have to say this mall is very empty but quiet which I love because I really don't like going to a mall that is packed. This mall is beautiful and the restrooms are just gorgeous. I never seen restrooms in the mall that are so clean and pretty. I think it's great that they have a nursing room as well. I will definitely be coming to this mall again.

I'm surprised i haven't wrote a review for this one. Well i come here once in a while to shop or walk around it's a simple 3 level mall 3rd floor is where the foods are. Today they had a little train ride going from one end to the other end to entertain the kids or non shoppers A good alternative from Del Amo when you're in the South Bay

Working in the South Bay, if I want to go shopping, I normally choose between South Bay Galleria or Del Amo. Depending on which store I want to go, I pick and choose which mall I want to go to. If I had to choose between the 2 malls, I like South Bay Galleria better. The mall itself is clean and feels newer than Del Amo (although Del Amo is currently undergoing construction right now, so it will probably feel newer after they are done). There is 3 stories, but most of the stores that you want to go to are in the first 2 floors (H&M, Victoria's Secret, Forever 21, etc.) The third floor mainly has the AMC theater and few other stores. The mall itself has only a few stores so you can walk around in less than an hour. (they also have Kohls, Macy's and Nordstrom for their department stores). But, for me personally, it has most of the store that I need/want to go to. They also have a food court, which I have never been to so I am not sure how good it is. They also have a few restaurants walking distance from the mall (Island's, Panera Bread, Freebirds, etc.) They also have a Target and Nordstrom's Rack walking distance from the mall. Parking is never a problem here since the mall shares the parking lot with all these stores. There are tons of spots and they also have a structure. I usually park in the back beside Forever 21 since there seems to be less cars there. Overall, a good mall to go to if you have a specific store in mind (as you can be in and out) or for a post/pre dinner or movie stroll.

This review is specifically for Raymond J (I hope I got his name right) the young gentleman working the Concierge Desk on the first floor. He is top-notch and the mall needs to do whatever it takes to keep him happy! I worked customer service at many jobs through the years, and truthfully the skills carry forth into every future job. I went in the other day to get my birthday reward so he helped me, but I also observed him helping people on the phone and a few other folks that walked up while I was there. His demeanor is so gentle and peaceful. His empathy and interest in the customer's experience is genuine and direct. He managed multiple people with a polite professional manner. Truthfully I don't come to the mall much any more unless my kids want something specific, or we are going to see a movie during a day. However, if more people take their cues from Raymond J and really step up their game - show that we're not just walking dollar signs, but a valued part of their day - then the mall quality may improve enough to consider making it more of my shopping go-to.

Now I've had my fair share of good experiences here but my most recent one wasn't so pleasant. We showed up to watch the new Jumanji movie and as we approach the self check out movie tickets we discover that the only tickets that were available were the handicap seats! Now that alone is not a problem however our children were standing in the regular line hoping to get the same tickets that we were at the check out for and after 20 minutes of waiting in line they announce that Jumanji was sold out. Unfortunately there was nothing else that we want to see at the time and that landed us at the bowling alley instead but I think we need to figure out a much more efficient way to be able to deliver that news to paying customers. also as a tip their tickets are rather expensive so go to Costco and get them if you can!

South Bay Galleria is a great shopping mall. It has a great variety of shops. It includes a Nordstrom Rack, Macy's and Kohl's. The mall is huge and it has many restaurants and stores. Parking here is very easy. There are lots all around surrounding the shopping center. It is always easy and possible to find a parking spot. There is also a giant parking garage located right next to the mall on the north side. You will most definitely find a spot there.

MAC in Macys Redondo Beach. Very bad customer service toda!
