Shopping Centers & Malls in Monrovia, CA

“There's quite a few stores and restaurants in this plaza that I like. Vons, Hawaiian BBQ, Wingstop, Jamba Juice and See's Candies. The parking lot is huge, but it still can be a challenge finding a spot. But all in all this plaza has a good selection!”

“This shopping center has sooo much to offer. You could park your car, and then spend hour-after-hour, exploring the many stores there. There is plenty of parking, and easy access for someone in a wheelchair or motorized wheelchair.”

“The Mon-Arc Center, it probably stands for Monrovia-Arcadia, since it's nestled in between these two cities. But officially it's in Monrovia, according to the US Postal Service. Years ago, this was a very dreary shopping center that used to house misc stores and the long gone Super A market. The always near empty parking lot gave this place an abandoned ghost town feel. But fast forward a few years, and a whole crop of Asian eateries and a new supermarket has brought life back to this little shopping center. As of early 2016, tenants include: Momo Bistro & Bakery (though Yelp still lists it as Momo Crab House) Yi Mei (Taiwanese comfort food) a Karate studio, Shanghai Gourmet (specializing in ..duh! Shaghai food) ID Cha House, Lucious Dumpling, a laundrymat and Jim's Famous Burgers. As of 2/27/16, a new market called Good Fortune opened and a new business called Mack'y Noodle House is under construction, making these the newest additions to the Mon-Arc Center. Over the past few years, these businesses have brought more traffic and life back to a depressing, should've-been torn down shopping center. This center has brought in the right businesses to serve the neighborhood demographics and has made grabbing some comfort food and shopping for produce very convenient for me. I'm giving it 4 stars because my only complaint is the parking lot should be a bit bigger and the exit lane out of the parking lot isn't wide enough, so it backs up traffic at times. But since they can't expand the lot and let's face it, some people here simply drive lousy, I'll just have to deal with it. Notes: * On weekends and Asian holidays like the Lunar New Year, expect the parking lot to be very full. * Their website is painfully outdated with wrong information and photos. * I've tried all of the eateries here except ID Cha House, and they're all pretty good, serving different regions of Chinese food. * As of 3/1/16, Good Fortune market hasn't fully stocked their inventory yet and some parts are still under construction. Yes, they opened prematurely.”
