Din Tai Fung Is Causing Drama in Los Angeles | Eater

"A glitzy outdoor shopping center opened in 2008 and developed by Caruso, intentionally evoking a Main Street–style, curated atmosphere: choreographed Bellagio-style fountains, a trolley, a whimsical steampunk parking-lot elevator, full-service restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory, and high-end retail. Its paid parking and carefully staged public spaces create a calming, familiar environment that signals a more curated, affluent audience; the property’s ownership has also been selective about who can use the space for public expression. From 2013 until a recent relocation, it housed the San Fernando Valley outpost of a major Taiwanese dumpling chain, and that tenant’s departure to the indoor mall across the street became particularly notable in local gossip." - Ryan Bradley

Is This the Saddest Pandemic Dining Experience in America? - Curbed

"A small outdoor-seating area sculpted out of the Central Avenue entrance was never fully activated — perhaps because developer Rick Caruso’s Americana at Brand, another mall right across the road, offers grass and seating, plus dancing fountains for entertainment. Since it’s laid out like a Main Street, the Americana’s stores are permitted to be open, and walking through the luxuriously spaced outdoor-dining tables with people in designer-brand masks feels like some kind of coronavirus-era theme park." - Alissa Walker

If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and family-friendly place to shop, eat, and relax in the Los Angeles area, The Americana at Brand in Glendale is an absolute standout. From the moment we arrived, everything felt spacious, well-managed and vibrant. The outdoor shopping centre has a resort-like feel, complete with a gorgeous dancing fountain, live music, and even a free, vintage-style trolley tram that loops through the property — great for kids and a fun way to take in the whole atmosphere. We stopped at The Cheesecake Factory for lunch — the perfect spot right on the promenade with outdoor seating and an unbeatable view of the fountain. The food was classic, portions generous, and service was excellent as always. The retail mix is upscale but approachable, with stores like Nordstrom, Apple, and local boutiques. We loved how walkable everything was, with wide paths and plenty of seating to just sit and enjoy the scenery. Top tip: Get your parking validated while you’re shopping or dining — and it’s free. Easy parking in LA is a rare luxury, and this just makes the visit even more convenient.

The Americana at Brand is a beautiful place to spend the day! Amazing fountain and cozy seating makes it feel like you are somewhere in Spain or another country. A big mix of stores, good food, especially The cheesecake factory. It’s always clean, well-kept, and the staff in the shops and restaurants are super friendly. Everybody is so nice. You need to see it :)

Lovely modern mall with many brand names, can walk to the stores as inside a small town, reminded me Disney. Three story Barnes and Noble. Great dining experience!

Pretty over the top shopping center. Valet parking, ridiculous cars everywhere and shops that I personally wouldn't ever really go in. Decorated really well for Christmas with music going and the train all decorated. Fun to check out, they keep it really clean, even the garbage tops are polished. They also mop the train tracks every morning I noticed.

We visited in December on Christmas rush. Gorgeous outdoor mall with high-end brands. It was even more beautiful with the Christmas lights and decor! There's a little tram you can get into. But some people refused to get off, and it was a little frustrating, but we didn't let that ruin our day. I recommend you park in the garage. It'll make your life easier.

I've been coming here with my family simce I was a small child and absolutely love it. Besides all the overpriced stores, it is simply just a great place to take a walk and hang out with friends. They do some great decorations and music for the holidays as well. Whenever I visit home I always end up coming here just to enjoy the scenery and people-watching!

I love it here!!! They are making this mall better and better with upscale stores. They just added Gucci recently and now adding Louis Vuitton and Bottega Venetta! They have so many more stores to shop and eateries, such as Cheesecake Factory, Frida's Mexican cuisine. The movie theatre's is here too! So much for you to do! The service is always good here and the selections have improved. The prices are pretty pricey but worth it! I love the Gucci store here and YSL store!! So many selections!!! They have Haggen Daz too! Just so much here with a great atmosphere. I recommend the Americana if you have not been here yet! -Marshay D.

Heads Up on Parking Validation!! Be sure to stay the duration of your validation ONLY! If you go over it's time, even 1 minute, the validation gets CANCELLED and you are required to pay the full amount. *This is not written or posted and employees do not inform you. I learned this from the concierge who tried to offer me another parking service to buy!

We came here at night when it was raining and it was so beautiful, I can only imagine what it looks like when it's sunny during the day! There are some great stores to window shop (Gucci, Tiffany's) and there's a beautiful fountain in the middle. It's small but a great place to walk around and grab a bite to eat. Glendale Galleria is also right next door.

This shopping area is very beautiful. Lots to do and eat . Also lots of people walking around enjoying the beautiful scenery. It's more in the high end shopping but still a nice place to enjoy .

The good: I came after Christmas but the Christmas decor was still up and it was gorgeous! The Christmas tree is massive, Santa's North Pole home was grand and there were so many lights everywhere on all of the trees. I loved the giant sequin bows on the lights. The water fountain also has a water show that goes along with music the way it does at Bellagio hotel in Vegas. There are restaurants, snack stands and lots of great stores. I like how you could people-watch from the outdoor seating areas by casual food vendors. The bad: I wish I knew about this place before Christmas so my daughter could've met Santa here. The interesting: This place has a similar upscale outdoor shopping feel to the Grove with some similar shops.

Let me preface my review with the fact that I am not a big shopper! The great thing about this place is that you are trapped in an indoor mall. The atmosphere is a super nice outdoor mall. The mall features high end stores and everyday stores like H&M. In the center of the mall there are beautiful fountains timed to music. Also very nice plants around the mall. There is even a train that runs through the mall for kids. During the holidays the mall is very nicely decorated with a large Christmas tree, Santa house and more. Note, during the holidays this mall is super busy. The mall also has a lot of eateries. There are sit down restaurants and take away restaurants. You can find brunch places, the infamous dumpling restaurant (across the street at the Glendale Galleria), macaroons, fries and more. As for parking: the immediate parking next to the mall requirements payment by the hour. There is also meter parking on the streets around the mall. If you do not mind walking several blocks away from the mall, you can find free parking. Just read the signs at your parking spot as there is often time limits. A good number of spots limit parking to two hours.

I hate this place more than I hate the dmv and gyno pap smear appointments. Everytime Im here I bump into people I went to school with who used to bully me because I had a mustache growing up or perhaps acquaintances that wanna stop me to talk about the millions of dollars they make a year being a doctor. Stroller moms everywhere Parking is a nightmare- valet takes 45 min to bring car. Disgusting. Id rather hang out on skid row on a sunday evening.

It's one of those place that we all go to juts to get out and walk around. Plenty of shopping around for everyone. Nice afternoon stroll, an evening out for dinner and so on. I haven't been for a while and since my last visit, there's been a few new additions added to the area. A couple of high end shops for all the shopping enthusiasts. Also, as it's the holiday season's, everything is all decorated for the holiday. Santa is out and about at his little village with kids all lined up waiting to give them their wish and have their pictures taken. Plenty of restaurants surrounding, but be as wise. It does get quite busy especially during the weekend and now with all the shoppers out and about. I believe they still have snow falling during certain time. There's the trolley that takes you around from one side to the other. The show stopper, the water fountain. A much smaller version of the ballagio, in that sense. Cool place for walking around, shopping, grabbing a meal. As well as continuing across the street to the mall.

一年最美麗的節日,聖誕節又來了,在這個充滿感恩溫馨的日子裡,這一個mall真的是一個很適合全家去的地方,商場不止裝潢漂亮,晚上還會飄著白雪紛飛, 路上的行人,不管是小孩,還是大人,都很享受這節慶的歡樂 他們還有另外一個姊妹商場,the grove , 也是美不勝收,如果聖誕節不曉得要去哪裡走走,這裡會是一個很好的地方

This place is always a great choice if you want upscale stores locally without having to go to Beverly Hills. I love the atmosphere it's so beautiful. It feels like you are on vacation when you are there. They have Gucci, YSL, Nordstrom, OLO, Tiffany & CO., etc. Plenty of surrounding restaurants within the Americana. Great selection of stores. The service is always good. This place is also adjacent to the Glendale Galleria. Parking is located in the parking lot and most stores validate parking tickets.

This place's name sounds like it was generated by AI when using the prompt "ChatGPT, please give me the most generic-sounding name for a shopping district located in a bougee city from one of the most consumerists and capitalist countries in the world." That aside, the place is super nice to walk around. It features a water fountain with a golden statue, it also features a golden bench, and, well, you get the idea... as my mother would say, you gotta come with a wheelbarrow full of money here. Crumbl cookies are here too, btw. Give them a try!

I've been here now two times! Super cute outdoor mall in Glendale. Lots of name brand shops from lululemon, Gucci, H&M, etc. I love that it's outdoors and has tons of food options. The pretzel shop, Cheesecake Factory, sprinkles, shake shack, so many! The ambiance of this little so cal outdoor mall gave really cute vibes. They have a lot of places to sit and they even had a cute little tram that would take you all around! If you need a mall in Glendale check it out!

Close to the Glendale galleria, this is a nice small outdoor mall. I think parking is paid for and I'd recommend just parking at the Glendale galleria and doing the short walk here. Has some good stores like the Apple Store and has a cool large fountain in the middle.

I love coming here during Christmas time and basically anytime. I used to stop here all the time. The service at the Tory Burch store is really good. The selection of stores to choose from is pretty good. There is a madewell here that I have shopped at too. During Christmas time they have a trolley.

One of the most beautiful outdoor malls I have been to. This was developed by the same Caruso company that designed The Grove. A huge water fountain is in the center area while the stores form a large circular area around this. There are also a couple of small blocks that belong to this mall and are home to stores like Bev Mo and Shake Shack. It is very nice for simply taking a nice walk and sight seeing as well as shopping. They have some of the higher end shops like Gucci as well. The main Department store is Nordstrom, and they also have some great restaurants like Frida's Meexican, Din tai Fung, Lemonade, Le Pain Quotidien. Great mall. I plan to go back many times.

I'm a fan on Brand! The Americana at Brand is a huge open-air mall directly across from the Glendale Galleria. It includes several major stores, shops, eateries, cafés and has an AMC 18 Theater. The Samsung Experience stores, Apple Store, Urban Outfitters, Capital One Cafe, and Pressed Juice being some of my classic go-to's. I used to frequent the formed Amazon 4 Star store as well when it was around. The Cheesecake Factory here is A-okay, but Frida's and Trattoria Amici are the real prize for a nice dining experience at this emporium of activities. Parking is fairly easy, though machines to pay are often down. You can pay at the gate on your way out. Just keep your ticket, which a lot of places are able to validate. Enjoy the beautiful streaming fountain, large pathways and sidewalk as well as the trolley that runs from the Americana Way side of Brand in a half loop over to the Caruso Avenue half of this (Rick) Caruso & Caruso Affiliated owned staple in the San Gabriel Valley. It is very similar to The Grove LA (also owned & designed by the same people) but has more of a community neighborhood feel.

With no hesitation this place is five stars. During the day and at night it's stunning. I've been coming here since they first opened and I love it here. Before it was the Americana it was a park I played in as a kid and a skatepark left in my memories. This plot of land has always remained a remarkable place. Last night they were playing Christmas music and had snow falling from the sky. Incredible!!!!!! 11/21/23

We also shopped here on Mothers Day after leaving the Galleria. We bought a couple things for Mothers Day and all. Went to Starbucks and we walked around the Brand with drinks and all. Tons of places to eat and drink. Bookstores, Clothing Stores, Its like the little Disneyland in Glendale. Lots of families and friends come here from all over. Lots of security and police here too. So , I feel safe here. We will be back again soon.

Despite the years under its belt, the property is still kept pretty immaculate despite the hoards of people moving about daily. I hadn't been in quite some time and noticed some new tenants, of course VERY upscale, which fit right in with the other offerings. There's something for everyone, and most midrange budgets, but the main shopping is clearly geared for those with fatter wallets. With the Galleria across the street, you basically have the majority of shopping options you could want. I do wish they had a walkway (elevated or under ground) between the two that didn't require crossing the road because with the sheer amount of people crossing, autos really have no time to turn out which can back up exits during busy shopping seasons. Overall, this is a stellar shopping and hanging out location that's centrally located, clean, safe and inclusive to all. I prefer it here over the Grove.

Just visited Americana and had a great experience. While parking is available, it can be a bit limited. The place is impressively clean, and there are plenty of shopping options. It reminded me of The Grove, but I actually prefer Americana because it's not as crowded. The location works well for me too. Overall, a fantastic spot for shopping without the overwhelming crowds!

Early bird catches the worm. Or in this case, the peaceful, serene nearly empty walk thru the area. In and out of most stores, fountain blowing rhythmically in the back ground, talkative birds and a nice mellow jazz playing over the speakers. I didn't buy anything but I couldn't have hoped or expected for a nicer experience. Those that were there had the most beautiful dogs. (All dogs are beautiful). Many different type of stores and eateries. Parking is available for a fee. Very cool spot.

If I died and my ghost had to pick one place to be forever it would probably be the Americana. I'd never feel lonely. It's always full of happy people having a good time. It's almost like a fever dream. Just perfection.

Please implement recycling bins throughout the Americana. Currently all guests are encouraged to throw everything into trash bins, and even the individual businesses don't have easy access to recycling bins. I would also like to see the mall take other actions to become more sustainable, such as installing rooftop solar. The water fountain is a fantastic attraction, but I know for a fact that it uses a significant amount of energy for the water pumps.

A large shopping, dining, entertainment and residential complex in Glendale, California. This mall features the traditional retailers like Nordstrom, Barnes & Noble, and AMC Americana at Brand 18. In addition to The Americana at Brand's upscale shops, restaurants and movie theatre, the outdoor mall features Waters of Americana, a musical fountain located in the central landscaped park, performing every hour during the business hour. A gold-leaf statue, which is a replica of Donald De Lue's 1949 Spirit of American Youth sculpture, rises from the center of the fountain's smaller pool. The statue also serves as the icon for The Americana at Brand. An internal transit system uses a battery-powered trolley car to shuttle visitors through the main square and around the perimeter of the complex. We came to this place on December 5, 2023. This mall has really done a great job setting up their Christmas lights and decorations. Overall, this is a great outdoor mall with an indoor mall across the street.

The Americana is so much better than the Grove because of less crowds. I do like the food court at the Grove but parking and walking there is so much more crowded. The Americana has a cute collection of pricey shops to walk around while offering a free beautiful fountain and green grassy area to lounge about in. It's also conveniently located next to the Galleria (a mall with more affordable stores).

My wife and I came to Americana while we were waiting to dine at Frida. We been to The Americana before and never had a bad time. I will always park on the parking structure on Artsakh because you can park there for 90 minutes without being charged. They have some good stores here like Samsung Store, Apple, H&M and etc. There also a Chessecake Factory here that mostly get busy so be aware but there are other places to eat away from here as well. They sometime have special event here during lunch time so you might get to see a free show.

Have I mentioned that Glendale is getting better all the time? Always the quiet neighbor to Pasadena, it has steadily attracted more and better stores and restaurants over the past several decades. I lived in Glendale briefly and loved its clean, safe, tree-lined streets. When Americana came to Glendale, it skyrocketed the city into a must-visit destination. We try to spend an afternoon at Americana every Christmas because they decorate so beautifully, everyone seems happy to be there -- look at the crowds on a rainy afternoon! We found it to be better than ever and popped in and out of stores before grabbing an early evening snack at Deluca (see my recent review of this incredible panini shop). I think my pictures here speak for themselves: lots of people, all ages, filling the street (immaculate!) and the trolley (where else can you get a trolley ride for free in Los Angeles?) with shoppers and people-watchers. If anyone finds themselves alone at the holidays, come here and feel welcomed as part of a genial crowd of friendly Angelenos.

One of the finest outdoor shopping centers I have ever visited. A large water fountain is situated in the center of the mall, while the shops form a circular area around it. It is an ideal location for leisurely walking and sightseeing, as well as for shopping. Nordstrom is the main Department store in the mall, and it is also home to a variety of restaurants, such as Frida's Mexican, Din Tai Fung, and Lemonade. It is an ideal shopping destination that I intend to frequent on a regular basis.

Pretty cool outdoor mall. Nice to walk around. Lots of options for food and desserts. Santa visits were up and running. So that was a plus. The outdoor part isn't big but it's nice to walk outside. There are carts for laduree, ice cream, food. Grassy area for kids to play or to just sit and enjoy. The Trolley ride is fun. Parking is in the parking structure. Make sure to get validation! The 7th floor of the parking structure has electric car charging stations!

I really like this place! The Los Angeles area does not have a lot of walkable areas, and the Americana delightfully fills that void. The vintage music, architecture, fountains and general atmosphere are very inviting and enjoyable. It can be a bit crowded, but at least it means people have good taste. it is also much easier to get to than the similar Grove (designed by the same person!)

A MUST DO! 4 & 1/3 STARS! A FREE EVENT! Christmas Time is really special here with the shops & streets all decorated with ornaments & lights. It's called Winterland & this FREE EVENT runs from mid November to Christmas every year. They validate for a limited time with a purchase from one of the stores. I was shopping at The Glendale Galleria so I just walked across the street. Americana @ Brand in Glendale is owned by the same owner Rick Caruso as The Grove in LA. Although Americana is bigger & has more stores; it doesn't quite have The WOW factor as The Grove. It's a little more laid back. That being said it's still quite good. There are lots of outdoor stores & eateries here to shop & get a bite to eat. The dancing fountains were all synched to Christmas music & they had free old fashioned trolley rides too. The lines were Huge! They had Snow & you could visit Santa's House also. What a Fun little experience to get you into the holiday mood. And It's FREE! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

What a nice mall!! It has everything that you could ask for! We only had 40 minutes before it closed so we only stopped at a crepe place, Banana Republic, Zara, H&M, and Barnes & Noble. Need to go back to go to Uniqlo and other stores.

My review of the americana at brand I am very disappointed in this place. It is located in Glendale California, which is considered a prestigious area and has lots of high class very expensive stores and restaurants and also has a residential living area which is very expensive. this is the bathroom at the americana at brand that is for public use around the corner from the Apple store and it is in horrible condition at 10 o'clock in the morning which means nobody cleaned it last night as many people that need jobs someone should be cleaning this bathroom constantly. It was so messy and so nasty and this was so surprising because everything in the americana at brand cost so much money, including the parking if you're going to offer the public to use the bathroom keep it clean hire an attendant. This is unacceptable.

This is such a great place for shopping and dinner. Because we came during Christmas season it was decked out ! So many lights and a ginormous Christmas tree and a Santa Village for families to line up and take their Christmas photos which was very very cute. I enjoyed walking around doing some shopping and coming across your occasional Selling Sunset characters which was cool. Over all I really recommend this area and recommend their parking garage because my gosh the other one in Glendale Galleria was the worst parking garage I've been to in my life !

For as many times I've traveled to LA, I have to admit I had never visited Glendale before Jamie W. and I recently went to the compact but amusing Museum of Neon Art (review: https://bit.ly/3uH0yPH). We didn't feel like going back to our hotel right away, so we crossed the street and stumbled onto this festive semi-outdoor shopping center. It was a good thing we were here in the evening because it was all lit up leading a quaint European-style flair to the decidedly commercial setting of high-end shops and restaurants. Live music and a mini-Bellagio-style dancing fountain completed the picture (photo: https://bit.ly/3NCpNv0), all of it anchored by the steel-beamed elevator shaft tower of the Americana itself (photo: https://bit.ly/3wSOYnu).

The only place you can securely lock your bike up in the entirety of the Americana is in a literal trash room. I called in advance to make sure that the Americana had bike racks somewhere, a representative excitedly told me to check in with the car valet and they'd point me in the direction of the bike parking. That sounded promising. When I get there the attendants completely ignored me and when I finally got their attention, they treated me like the scum of the earth for arriving on a bike and motioned to some dingy loading dock scowling and trying to get me out of their hair. There's no indication of where you're supposed to go, so you just go deeper and deeper in this dirty dingy dark loading dock until you get to the most foul-smelling trash room that happens to have some cheap aluminum bike rack thrown in on the side, covered in garbage and dirt. Loving the irony that the Americana is designed to provide the fantasy that you're living in some quaint European walkable town with no cars (complete with a trolley) yet anyone who actually tries to come in with a bike is treated like literal trash. It's appalling that this was deemed acceptable by anyone managing this place and that they couldn't find ten square feet in their massive complex for something more decent, especially since it's the smallest and easiest gesture they could provide to signal even the most minimal concern for sustainability. But they clearly don't care...

Parking is truly a ripoff. We had a 4 hour validation from AMC Movie was 3.5 hours and we had a drink after. The validation copay for AMC is normally $5. Because we stayed longer than 4 hours, the validation was "void" and we were charged for the entire 4 1/2 hours! Outrageous

I had such a difficult time finding parking at the Americana. On top of that they raised the minimum pricing for parking so I ended up paying $15 for 2 hours of shopping. That's way too much!

Go-to Outdoor Shopping mall. Caruso hit the nail on the head making this place a shopping experience and a wonderland place. During the weekdays, it is much calmer and I prefer it to come when it is not so busy and you are not shoulder to shoulder with people. However, it is wonderful coming here during the weekends as it is always packed and lively. I love the water shows they do with the fountain with wonderful music to accompany. I often like to take my friends who visit here because it's an awesome place to explore and have a good time.

So beautiful during Christmas time, it's a must see, especially when they have snow time at 7pm! I prefer to go when it's less crowded though, because I use a stroller. So weekdays it was!

This is based on their parking validation, I spent 3 hrs at The Cheesecake Factory bc they were busy and we sat and waited to be seated. When leaving the structure, my validation was voided and I had to pay, bc unknowingly the Americana changed their parking policy that validation is only valid for 2 hrs when dining. And even with validation if you go over the 2 hrs whether by seconds or minutes the validation is voided. For a restaurant with long waits how is that my fault? I have no issues paying the difference but the Americana is now being greedy.

A beautiful, and very clean place to visit in Glendale. The Americana is always well lit and well decorated to occasions, has awesome shops, including Apple store, Amazon 4 stars, Nike store, David Yunnan jewelry store, Tiffany & Co, Freida Mexican cuisine, Katsuya sushi, Trattoria Amici Italian restaurant Cheesecake factory etc. Definitely recommend to visit Americana

Can I give zero stars?? We used to love this place buts it's gone downhill. The water fountain show which is supposed to work every hour NEVER WORKS!! I can understand sometimes there's maintenance or repairs but come in it's been months! I keep seeing guests ready to take pics/vids and their dismayed and disappointed faces when it doesn't work. When I brought it up to the staff, they're CLUELESS, RUDE, and DISMISSIVE. They have to understand that some people drive from afar just to enjoy the show while shopping and dining. TRULY DISAPPOINTING!!!!

Getting more and more expensive. Americana is not for everyone and that is their intention. Look past their stupid signs about community. Instead look at their business practices. Parking is a big issue. Most shops and restaurants no longer validate. AMC now doesn't validate in the sense that 4 hrs at theatres = $5 when before it was free. It's a real shame. We used to go here every single week for years since its opening. Back when they had a park for little kids. ...when they had a rewards program that gave rewards...back when it felt friendly and chill. I am still thankful that this place exists because there are some nice spots that I continue to enjoy like Le Pain, DTF, Barnes & Nobles, etc. *** Just wish more stores validated like they did before. It's a thank you to your customers for our business.
