We visited River Park in Fresno California for my little cousin's first birthday party.This shopping center has a lot of retail stores restaurants, and sports bars and theaters, it’s really nice. Me & Ed’s Pizza Where the birthday celebration was held rents out rooms /sections for birthday parties. There is a children’s section teen section with many arcade games. There’s also an adult section with a full bar and plenty of TV to enjoy your sports game. The prices are reasonable. I bought a bucket Stellas for a good price.

I haven’t been here for the longest since I moved out of state. It feels great to be back home. Everything still look the same except they got rid of Yoshino sushi restaurant and a few others. There’s new restaurants that are open since I moved. I was trying to come to the farmers market but came a little too late.

This is one of the nicer (and newer) shopping centers in Fresno. Provides a certain amount of night life. Plenty of places to eat. A lot of people go there just to hang out. I've included a couple of pics of the Johnny Rockets which is not longer there (I think the one with the servers is old-school cool)

Huge, outside mall with easy access off Hwy 41, and Blackstone and Herndon avenues. A handful of the retail outlets: Target, Macy's, Best Buy, Old Navy, Michael's, H&M, Teazer's, Loft, Victoria's Secret, Black House White Market, Pinera Bread, P.F. Chang's... and much more. Highly recommend.

This traditional northwestern American Japanese Garden spans five acres and pays homage to Fresno's sister city, Kochi, Japan. The garden features structures that highlight rock, stone, and water elements designed around the four seasons.
Beautiful and peaceful garden, perfect for a relaxing walk or photo shoot. Entry fee is $5 for adults and $5 for parking. You’ll spot ducks, squirrels, peacocks, and fish in the pond. A great place to spend an hour enjoying nature and taking pictures. Lovely spot!
Chethan B — Google review
Such a peaceful and beautiful spot! Shinzen Friendship Garden is super relaxing with koi ponds, little waterfalls, and shady paths to walk through. The koi fish are fun to watch, and the whole place feels calm and quiet, perfect for a chill afternoon. Great place to take photos or just unwind. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Fresno!

Excellent collection of outstanding bonsai. Beautifully designed garden with an authentic teahouse. The docents and volunteers were extremely helpful and informative.

We love the Japanese Shinzen Gardens! There is an enormous Koi pond (mini lake) that has an abundance of stunning koi fish). The gardens are so peaceful and the bonsai exhibit (it is not yearly, check on the site for visitation months) the bonsai are amazing. Each one has a story of where it was found and how old, many are over 50 to 100 years old. We also attend the yearly lantern floating which had a great Japanese drum show before the lantern floating. I tell everyone, if you come to Fresno, you must go to the Japanese Shinzen Gardens!

Oh my gosh, you step in and feel yourself relaxing immediately. What a pleasure. We love seeing all the Bonsai plants too.

Shinzen Friendship Garden is a peaceful and well-maintained place for a relaxing stroll. The landscape is immaculate, with traditional stone lanterns, and a serene lake reflecting the lush greenery. The Clark Bonsai Collection is a must-stop! The pathways are lined with charming wooden structures and thoughtfully arranged rock gardens, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. A great spot to enjoy nature, unwind, and take in the beauty of Japanese-inspired design.

Fashion Fair is a mall that offers both indoor and outdoor shopping experiences with popular department stores, specialty shops, and restaurants. The variety of stores is enjoyable, creating an atmosphere perfect for holiday shopping. The mall's ambiance is inviting and comfortable, providing warmth on cold days. Although the mall is large, time may be limited as some stores close early on Sundays. The overall appearance of the mall is attractive with an underground gaming area that includes a bar serving food - making it perfect for family entertainment.
Fashion Fair Mall is our family's go-to spot for scoring the latest fashion trends for the kids! From trendy outfits at The Children's Place and Gymboree to cool sneakers and streetwear at JD Sports and Foot Locker, it's a one-stop paradise for keeping up with what's hot. The spacious layout makes browsing with little ones a breeze, and with spots like Chick-fil-A nearby, we can refuel mid-shop. Clean, vibrant, and full of energy—highly recommend for fun family fashion hunts! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A very good mall. Lots of stores to choose from. You can definitely find a variety of clothing brands here. The food court is good. The cleanliness is really well maintained. The bathrooms are also well maintained. The layout of the mall is VERY easy to walk through. It's very easy to read the store names as well. And it's nice not having extremely pushy sales people at kiosks as well. The mall is definitely very up to date in terms of overall style and ambience. Parking is a bit hectic and it always feels like there isn't enough space but you will be able to find a parking space. Overall, a great mall to check out.
TinaEh V — Google review
Pleasantly shocked. This mall has absolutely no curb appeal. From the outside it's ugly and it looks like it's completely abandoned. Get inside, and you find all open stores fully stocked, and plenty of people walking about. And there is an electrify America charging station in the parking lot. Were it not for electrify america, one of the worst companies in the United states, I would have never discovered this mall. I'd say the selection here was pretty good, and the service was great in every store I visited. Value seemed pretty decent also. Plenty of sales. All in all I was quite impressed.
Scott — Google review
This is a good place to shop and the employees who clean the mall are great other job. To the police and anybody sidding with them: I'm fully aware that you are sending people to call me n I g g e r wherever I Go. First time I got called that I was in kindergarten and didn't hurt then it doesn't hurt now. But I see you. This isn't a lie the police in Fresno are having me follow so that they can show up to try to bully me and call me names because they are basically children.
E — Google review
Oh my goodness, the fact they allow such a rude person to work here is beyond me. I came in a while ago and visited the restaurant "Sbarro" located in the food court, and the worker Brisa helped me and she was amazing, but then I was taken by another employee at check out named Norma. She was so rude, I asked how much Ranch would be and she said a dollar, so I said never mind. After that she made the comment that I should have told her I wanted ranch and she would’ve put it in the system (to charge me without informing me how much it was), I said excuse me and she commented “it’s not my fault you didn’t say you wanted ranch.” I have never been so appalled by customer service. After that she walked to the back area and Brisa apologized profusely. If this is the type of employees this place hires then I never want to come back.

Never had any issues during the day, if you want to avoid crowds altogether I recommend weekdays when the mall opens if you can swing it, but even weekends when they open isn't bad at all.
Prisi G — Google review
It’s a serviceable mall with all the usual cornerstones. The parking is always a mess (I suggest parking in the back). The front area is becoming more and more unmanageable. It’s probably my age, but I miss and enjoy good malls and this one just…falls short. It probably didn’t help that the last two times I went, there was a horrible smell permeating the entire mall. Walking by the food stands was the only relief from it.

Beautiful, outdoor center with good mix of dining and shopping options. I noticed and appreciated that nearly all sidewalks were sheltered from the weather (which made it so much nicer on a hot, sunny day).

Favorite mall in Fresno. Lots of shade trees. Healthier-than-most food options like Patio Cafe and Whole Foods. Great variety of stores, such as comfortable & stylish shoes at Heart & Sole as well as attire options from upscale & local Patrick James to local chain stores like Banana Republic. Something for everyone. Great parking. Easy access from Palm & from Shaw. Glad the owners continue to keep the look of the original buildings that look homey and comfortable rather than the typical commercial look of most malls like RiverPark. Great mall to just enjoy a walk!

This is really a great home town shopping center. Its always clean and well maintained. I always see the security people when I go there at night (although I expect they have daytime security at well) Oft time my wife and I go there just to walk and get a bit of exercise. It really has a great vibe. There's plenty of places to shop and eat, including a Whole Foods store. If you're new to Fresno or just visiting for a spell, this is a worthwhile destination to check out.

For a shopping mall that has been here for decades, they still keep up this area like if it was brand new with character. Clothing, jewlery, Wholefoods, CVS, wells Fargo, citi bank, verizon, Chipotle, Jamba Juice, cold stones, edible arrangements, the spa, elbow room, eddie Bauer, so many other restaurants and clothing stores. From mom and pop stores, too starbucks and hamburgers deli delicious. Fig garden has it all. Also right next store to Christmas tree lane for the holidays. Definitely a nice stop.

Oso de Oro Park is a well-maintained park with three distinct elevations that provide visitors with picnic areas, play spaces, and a basketball court designed for wheelchair use. The park holds a special meaning to many families, as it offers peaceful strolls through playgrounds and pond areas where ducks and turtles can be observed.
I love this park! I’ve been bring my son here since he was 3. I love how they have two sets of playgrounds, one for toddlers and another for older children. During the summers they have a water stream place open for the children to get wet in. The park also has a basketball court and a large open green space. I highly recommend this park.
Ana — Google review
Fairly large park, enjoyed each playground for different ages. The info park trail was a cute touch. Most of the playgrounds in this city are highly worn from excessive use, unfortunately. (Great that so many kids enjoy them, but it deteriorates them faster) Very dirty, bring hand wipes for when you're done playing. The boat was also neat, but it had standing water and muck that smelled and looked gross, so we couldn't play in it sadly. Would definitely go back. We bought a small drone and it seems that you can't use them in any open fields at the parks in town. Too bad considering the fields were empty and they're huge. Oh and the bathroom has 2 stalls and one open toilet with no privacy, but they clean it and stock with tp, not sure if anyone actually pees in the open. So it could be a waste if they don't hang a curtain on the rod or install a door.

Beautiful and clean park. They have a small parking but there is street parking right along the park. They have two playground areas for small and bigger kids. They have a shaded swing are with swings for babies, bigger kids and the once that look a chair! They also have an area with a maze and spots to explore. you will find ducks running around. The lake looks beautiful and it’s picture perfect. Lots of kids running around and people walking along the paths. Oh there is a basket ball court as well.

We were a group of 11. We had to wait almost 1.5 hours. We were seated in a booth. It was hell. Bathroom time, almost everyone had to get up. I'm guessing they don't like big groups. It was hard to hear. We were told it would be an hour wait. At an hour they sent a message that the table was ready then they told us 30 more minutes. What, you can't combine tables together? This happened Monday 2/17/25 @ about 3:30 to 5:00pm. I did try to make a reservation but guess what, they don't do that. A family member said there is a round table for big parties, so ask for that table if you can. The food was very good but not happy with the service. 😐

I had a good time here at yard house as it was my first time E. The food was delicious and full of flavor. I really enjoyed what I ordered. The service was just alright, not super friendly or fast, but not terrible either. Even with that, I’d still go back because the food made it worth it.

I had such a great experience at Yard House! Everything was perfect, but what stood out the most was the amazing service. The staff was incredibly attentive — at one point, three bartenders came over to make sure all of our requests were taken care of right away. The food was just as impressive. The Poke Nachos here were the best I’ve ever had — so fresh, with the oil tasting perfectly light and clean. I also tried the Garlic Noodles, which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

We are first-timers. We decided on this spot after attending an event at the Savemart Center. It was a Saturday evening and the place was busy. They gave us the option to sit out on the patio or wait 35 to 45 minutes to dine inside. We decided that the patio was fine. We were seated promptly and greeted by Maya our server for the evening. She was amazing!! Our drinks were delicious! Our food was great, although they made a mistake on my husband's order, he ordered the Korean Ribeye and Shrimp he opted for mashed potatoes instead of the fries as he is not a fan of wet fries. But, he enjoyed his steak & shrimp and it was well served. I ordered the Spicy Jambalaya and it was different from Louisiana Jambalaya, but still delicious. My son ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken and he loved it! My niece ordered the Szechuan Crispy Beef Noodles and she said it was delicious also. We also had guac and chips, and fried calamari for starters but the sauces that came with the calamari were not the best, they could use some improvement. We had a great evening and look forward to dining again, with reservations next time, as now we know it gets very busy!

Pieology Pizzeria Fig Garden in Fresno, CA is a popular spot known for its diverse range of sauces, cheeses, and toppings on oven-fired pies. It's also renowned for offering affordable and delicious vegan options, making it one of the best places for vegan food in Fresno. The pizzeria encourages patrons to explore unique tastes through a wide variety of vegetarian dishes. Customers rave about the excellent service and generous toppings on their pizzas.
Excellent service! Our pizzas were made with love and they did not skimp on the toppings! The manager was also extremely friendly and professional, ensuring we had just what we needed and informing us she was available as needed. Also always appreciate when places have a CocaCola freestyle machine, just another small perk! This place is definitely top tier as compared to Blaze Pizza (another spot where you can customize your pizza). Will absolutely return again!

AVOID THIS PLACE Never heard of this place or been to one before but it's basically a Pizza Subway aaand, a What did I just walk into? This place is dirty and unkept. (See pics, it's disgusting) Needs to be reported and inspected because this is the dirtiest restaurant I've been to in years. The staff is not knowledgeable and helpless with no type of direction or leadership at all. Pizza and Garlic Bread had the burnt shavings of previous pizzas cooked in the oven. I was there for 30 minutes AFTER telling them I wanted a refund on my entire order, why? Apparently, the GM of this location works sporadic hours starting Wednesday and definitely not weekends. Also, the District Manager and direct Supervisor refuse to give out contact info for disputes/complaints because Reasons? No contact info on the website outside of a feedback form that goes directly to the cowards that run this clown show. Apparently the Corporation is Akash Management and I'll be reaching out to them on Monday.. *** Hi Owner of business, I'd be more than happy to discuss, however I was told that you, your DM and RMs to not take phone calls so how would you like to discuss?***

There’s like 5 pieces of chicken so expensive. You can get better bigger and cheaper else where. Skimp on the toppings heavily. The lady was nice but I felt bad for her as it was getting busy and she was working all by herself self. Thought I’d give it another try as it was good last time but not anymore.

Elvia G deserves a promotion. Usually the restaurant is dirty, and I asked Elvia if she was the one who wiped all the surfaces clean and she said yes. She was very attentive to our ordering, and was quick and on the ball. Our pizzas came out so fast and she brought them to our table. She’s a keeper.

It's been more than three weeks since I made this post, they never listened to me about it, they never gave me my refund for the bad pizzas they gave me. I went to the location and the woman said she had to talk to the manager so they could give me my refund. They never called me and my refund never arrived. And here below she left the two pizzas that they gave me in bad condition so that you can see that I do have proof. Hello, I wanted to report what my experience had been buying pizzas here at this location. First of all, it was poor service. I told the woman to put extra cheese on top and she hardly did anything, and the worst thing about this was that at the same time After they delivered the pizzas to me, they gave them burnt and all dirty.

I ordered a thin crust pizza, but when it came out, I pointed it out to the general manager that this was a thick crust. He proceeded to explain to me that the dough was only rising at the edges. I took it home and realized that it definitely was not thin crustI called the store and explained that they had definitely given me the wrong crust. The manager first offers me a replacement on my next visit, but then speaks to the general manager and tells me that since the crust came this way, there was nothing they could do. Very poor customer service. Especially to someone who’s been such a loyal customer.

So I've only been to this place twice. I would give my first visit 4 stars and my second visit 2 stars. First visit we had a couple of really great pies/pizzas; second visit, not nearly as good. I've included pics of our first two pies. They were great. Was two gals that put them together. We ordered the thin crust. Really loved them. The only real issue I had was with the assembly area looking unsanitary. Second visit I ordered takeout of the the Veggie Pesto pizza on ta think crust. It was assembled by two guys.Yikes! The crust wasnt nearly as thin, it was overcooked, AND THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE PESTO SAUCE ON. Also no paper under the pizza like the first order. Big disappointment. They can be thankful I didnt take a pic of it. Oh to be fair, the gal asked me if it looked OK (I suspect maybe she thought it didnt). Me without glasses and practically blind in one eye due to cataract said yeah. When I got it home my wife chastised me and showed me how deficient it was. All I had to do is look at the pics of the first two we got to realize how right she was.

The Lime Lite is a long-standing upscale restaurant that has been serving farm-to-fork cuisine for over fifty-five years. The menu features New American dishes made with locally-sourced ingredients, offering a unique freshness to every carefully-cultivated dish. The restaurant also boasts innovative cocktails and a charming outdoor setting, making it a popular choice for couples. While the atmosphere is described as zesty and sophisticated, the dim lighting and classic decor add to its appeal.
Brought my parents here for their anniversary and it did not disappoint! The Surf & Turf appetizer, butternut ravioli, & seared scallops were all incredible. They gave my parents a complimentary dessert for their anniversary that was delicious and we also shared a key lime cheesecake that was perfect. Our waitress Esmeralda was so great & gave us excellent service as well - thank you! Can’t wait to come back!

Incredible experience from start to finish. Immediate seating (not busy and had a reservation), very efficient ordering, drinks, and paced meal service. First time here and we'll definitely be back! Photos are a lemon drop and old fashioned, seasonal spring salad with strawberries, fried garlic, and Green Goddess dressing, wood fired ribeye with mash and brussel sprouts, and the chocolate souffle.

This is my third time at Lime Lite and it was amazing as usual. The service is top notch here. They come around to make sure everything is fine and on time. There’s no time wasted among any of the staff! I had the wood grilled salmon and it was a great pair of smoky salmon and fresh cucumbers. For an appetizer we had surf and turf and it was the best appetizer we’ve had in Fresno. I’ve also had the Calamari strips which were great as well. The drinks here are strong and very well done. The lemon drop is so good! All in all this place is a 5/5 🔥

Where do I begin? The food was delicious to me, it was the expensive wagyu beef. But upon serving it to me, the manager, named Clint, personally didnt like the way it was cooked. It was well done while i requested medium. He immediately forced a refire of my plate, while letting me keep my current plate. Some time went by, and the new one came out, still not to his likings. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. He did not charge us for the 2 delicious wagyus because it wasnt to his spec, that is customer service beyond belief. I also have to give a shout out to Clare, our waitress as well. She kept checking on us to make sure we were well satisified. All concluded with complimentary Desserts on the house! We will definitely be going back as we had a great experience. Thanks again guys!

Went there on a date night. Lived the vibe and ambiance. Food was delicious, especially the calamari appetizer! The fried chicken was a huge portion, two people could share !

It was a special evening with our friends visiting from 🇳🇴 Norway. We all thought the food and service were excellent. They were impressed as we always are with the Lime Lite. For starters the shrimp cocktails were delightful and three of us who don’t normally eat tuna thought the seared tuna was exquisite. The dinners were to everyone’s liking and even our two birthday guests were treated to complimentary desserts…a very nice surprise. Our waitress was delightful and very attentive (the waiters too). The Lime Lite is #1 in our book and never disappoints. We had a wonderful evening.

Restaurant
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse is a family-friendly chain known for its extensive list of house brews and familiar pub fare. The restaurant offers top-quality craft beers on tap to accompany shareable appetizers, snacks, and small bites or mouthwatering entrees such as handcrafted burgers, signature deep dish pizza, and fresh specialty salads. With a relaxed atmosphere featuring sports TVs and a large bar, it's the perfect spot to enjoy good food and award-winning craft beer with friends or family.
BJ’s delivered a great dining experience during my recent visit. I ordered the steak and ribs combo, and both were cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and flavorful, while the ribs were juicy with just the right amount of smokiness and sauce. It’s clear they take pride in the quality of their food, and this combo did not disappoint. What really stood out, though, was the service. I sat at the bar and was lucky to have Kristen as my server. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. It’s always refreshing to be served by someone who genuinely seems to enjoy their job and goes the extra mile to ensure you’re taken care of. Overall, I’d highly recommend BJ’s on E. Shaw to anyone looking for a solid meal and great service. Whether you're stopping by for dinner or just grabbing a drink at the bar, the atmosphere is laid-back and comfortable. With delicious food and top-notch service, it’s definitely a spot I’ll be returning to.

STAY AWAY HAIR in Food. I gave this location too many chances 1.Service always slow 2.Never attentive 3.Food is unsanitary, this last time my salad had hair, Manager was cool and deducted it but waiter never mention it and never apologized and still try to charge me full Price had to double tell him manager said he’ll take care of it waiter kind of didn’t believe me until I showed him the picture.. last time here never satisfied not worth the time, not worth the wait not worth the food. Seems like understaffed or waiters don’t care about taking care of customers

Alex S. was great overall with his service! He was really attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was also very good, and his friendliness made the experience even better. Definitely a positive dining experience!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at BJ's, and our server Alex S truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we sat down he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He offered great recommendations and was patient with our questions. Our drinks were always refilled promptly, and the food came out perfectly. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic meal. Excellent service!

I would like to take a moment to recognize our server, Jacob. From the moment we were seated, he went above and beyond to ensure our experience was excellent. He was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and very professional in his approach. Jacob carried himself with the kind of service standard that makes guests feel truly valued. In my opinion, he is one of the best servers I’ve encountered and absolutely deserves recognition for his hard work — even strong consideration for a promotion. He didn't mention a tip once, and on top of that, didn't immediately ask how everything was until everyone at the table had a chance to try their meal.

Alex S was the best waiter we’ve ever had! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He checked on us at the right times without being overbearing and just had a great attitude. Definitely ask for him if you come here.
