We like this mall because it has a shop for everyone! From H&M to Tiffany's. Nordstrom to Macy's.... My wife loves Madewell and Lululemon.... I like all the food and drink spots from casual to dressy.
All outside and easy to walk.
Highly recommend!!Helpful 19Thanks 4Love this 18Oh no 0 - 772129267Apr 8, 2024
Overall this mall is beautiful. The newly added luxury stores, the various foods, and the large parking structure- this is one of the best malls in SD!
However, if you are a nursing mom or travel with children and would like a quiet space for the FAMILY to relieve themselves... the family lounge in the food court IS NOT IT.
I recently tried to nurse my baby in the private space, as any public place should have accommodate per the law, and there were unaccompanied teens in one of the nursing spaces behind the curtain. The over nursing room had one lounge chair that had tears and stains. Overall the family lounge is the most neglected space, which is sad bc it is one of the most necessary :/Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1 - Gigi Thayer A.San Diego, CA283623Jan 7, 2024
Nestled in the heart of San Diego, Westfield Mall has undoubtedly become my cherished haven for retail therapy. With a diverse array of shops and an overall inviting atmosphere, this mall stands out as my absolute favorite in the city. Each visit is a unique experience, thanks to the vibrant mix of stores that cater to various tastes and preferences.
One gem that consistently draws me in is Joe & the Juice. This lively juice bar adds a refreshing twist to my daily routine, offering an extensive menu of invigorating juices and delicious bites. The vibrant energy and the delectable concoctions at Joe & the Juice have turned it into my daily ritual - a delightful stop during my shopping escapades.
And speaking of shopping, Alo Yoga has seamlessly woven itself into my routine every other day. The allure of their stylish activewear and serene ambiance makes it an essential part of my shopping spree at Westfield Mall.
In essence, Westfield Mall has become more than just a shopping destination for me; it's a sanctuary of diverse experiences, a place where I can indulge in my retail desires while sipping on the vibrant flavors of Joe & the Juice. It truly stands as my shopping paradise in San Diego, beckoning me with its unique charm every time I step through its doors.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Dec 22, 20237 check-ins
Wow, haven't been in here in sooo long. It's massive!!
Plenty of parking all over. So many different shops, restaurants, drink shops, gym, just everything!
I believe they still have the ice skating rink too!
I was pleased to see so many asian food options (ramen, boba, happy lemon). They had a Board & Brew as well.
Definitely need to come back!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - Dec 24, 2023
Love this outdoor mall. Great variety or upscale stores, including Nordy, Bloomingdales, Arhaus, LV, Hermes, Tiffany. And they also have some of my favorites like Lululemon, Janie and Jack, Apple, and Jo Malone...
Parking sometimes can be a pain. First 2 hrs us free.
Christmas decor is always beautiful here. They also have a nice foodcourt, with ice-skating rink inside that building as well.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Oct 1, 2023
We were in town and wanted to check out this mall. We were here a few months back but for food and the Apple store for a new phone. This time around we spent a couple hours checking out all the shops and eateries.
This is the place for shopping for sure. This mall consists of many stores for clothes, shoes, gadgets, luggage, books, health and beauty products, entertainment, eateries, ATMs, and much more. They have from fast food to casual dining as well. Something for everyone.
I love that it is an outside mall. The middle of the mall has sidewalks and patio like areas throughout to sit and chat with people. There's beautiful artwork/statue all around. They have trees and beautiful flowers all around. There's even a fishpond to enjoy as well. You can park at the parking garage. Parking is free for the first two hours. Then you have to pay after that. They have Electric Vehicle Charging, too. It is pet friendly. You should check their website for updated hours of operation. For now, it's Monday thru Saturday (10:00 am - 8:00 pm) and Sunday (11:00 - 7:00 pm)
Overall, a great place to go for dinner and a movie. We came for dinner and scoped out all the stores. Shopped for home decor. We ordered coffees and enjoyed people watching.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - 63616292748Jan 20, 2024
Great mall, high end shops, clean and friendly space. They have some great coffee shops, restaurants and clothing stores, some more unique and not the common chains (rare for a mall, thought the common stores are well represented). Valet parking was cheap and worth it.

*This review is for the bathroom only*
I went to the Dining Hall's women's bathroom, and it was woefully lacking. The first stall I went into had literal poo in the bowl unflushed. I gagged and came out, and a woman came out of another stall so I went into that stall. Nothing was in the bowl so I went to the restroom...only to then discover that there was no toilet paper! Disaster. When I came out to wash my hands...no paper towels.
This bathroom needs more attention.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 228317847Jun 3, 2023
Growing up in San Diego, I got to witness how much UTC has grown and improved. I love what it's become now, it's got so much more to offer. You don't just shop here, you get to have an experience here! There are new restaurants, new shops, bars, etc. And they're still building new restaurants and shops! The layout has improved, there's more parking (though, you have to pay now; free for the first two hours), so many nice seating areas to relax and hang out at throughout the mall, and a koi pond?! There's so much to do and so much to see! I have added this to the list of 'things to do when visiting San Diego' that I share with friends and family because it's an experience and there's so many options for activities here, you could spend a whole morning or afternoon-evening here!
Right now, they have Pickleball courts (3 courts total) located at the top of True Food Kitchen. Playing pickleball on a rooftop is such a vibe! I read somewhere that it's only there until the end of July so take advantage of it while it's there!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Dec 16, 2023
What a disappointment! For such an upscale mall in La Jolla one would expect the bathrooms to be clean and have toilet paper, seat covers and paper towels, these ones had neither and they were unkept and dirty and had an awful smell . Floor was filthy and food on the sink and floor tried using two of them but could not.
