Lively and crowded late on weekend nights. Great for Asian food lovers. Fascinating grocery store! Use parking garage if you don't want the frustration of the overcrowded parking lot.
During the busy hours, enter Diamond Jamboree from the west entrance, via McGaw Avenue. You have the most direct route to the parking structure. Plus no traffic in your way (usually off Alton)
Has a handful of great restaurants to choose from. A little pricey cos well, it's Irvine, and packed with youngsters. 85 line is forever out the door! :D
Enter via McGaw Ave. ONLY if you are not planning to head back out to the main parking lot. Nonstop traffic from the Guppy House entrance means no one can make a move at the stop sign.
Terrible design - you could only get into it from Alton side, little parking, the parking structure is hidden behind the Korean market, full of dumb drivers....
