Why go, and how to do it well
Come here to eat, honestly. The food is the reason this place works, spread across the ground floor and floor five, with ramen, shabu buffet and sukiyaki among the options, plus a newer "Eat and Treats" zone stacked with dessert and drink brands. If you're shopping, the big TOPS supermarket is what most people are really coming for, alongside the usual fashion and electronics floors. It's a practical mall rather than a glamorous one, and it serves the west bank of the river well.
Size is both the appeal and the problem. It's large, the layout is wide, and there are directory signs behind the escalators that you'll want to actually use. Reviewers in 2025 flagged ongoing construction knocking out escalators, which means backtracking to find one heading your way. Ground floor toilet signage gets criticized too, and the line for the women's can run long. Neither of those ruins a trip, but budget more time than you'd think for moving between levels.

Our first visit on 2 March 2026. Fantastic shopping mall. Everything you need is here. A lot of food choices and a huge TOPS supermarket. Much better than the Central Rama9 mall near our home.
Did not have a great experience when visiting in August 2025. There were many constructions ongoing in the mall, leaving multiple escalators that did not work. You have to walk far to find the next escalator that goes in the direction that you want. The signage for the toilet at G Floor is a disaster. I followed it and always lead to a place where there were no toilets. It is very unclear where the toilets are. The queue for women was very big as well, 15 minutes of queueing. This is not good and should be improved.
