Nice small mall with different exotic restaurants as well as a coffee shop. Can get a little loud in the afternoon. Definitely check out the sushi place

There are many shops there. I mostly go to eat at the chain restaurants but there are non chain restaurants that I would like to try. Nice place to meet up with people.

Iowa City's mini indoor Chinatown* (and Korean, and Japanese!) It reminds me of a much more spacious Japanese style mall, with stores selling tasty tasty food (and a CVS, and an eyeglass store, among other things.) This is a great place to go for lunch and enjoy a bite at one of the tables in the building's atrium!

I like it and usually like the atmosphere, but there's a day janitor that thinks he owns the place and has a real hard time remembering that he was Homeless once and if they hadn't hired him, he'd still be on the streets. This man (and I use the term very lightly) thinks that people should simply walk in buy stuff and leave. Everyday citizens alike are targets of this guy. He hates the Student population because they're what keeps him employed by moving tables, making the occasional mess. Locals know to avoid this guy.
.
There are rules pertaining to loitering, etc. All well and good, but this guy doesn't care if you're following the rules or not. And he's the one person that rides his bicycle inside, complains repeatedly about some of the people that are currently trying not to freeze to death.
.
It's security's job! And the security team does a really good job of getting rid of drunks, troublemakers and the obnoxious that find their way inside to cause trouble. If an issue arises during security hours, they're right on top of it, calming situations, removing trouble or calling PD to handle it.
.
These people not only frequent the PUBLIC AREAS, but also spend a lot of money there. CVS Pharmacy benefits tremendously from everyone that uses the building. Including all the people that this guy complains about. Honestly, he should have been fired decades ago. Give him his retirement already and get rid of the negativity that he brings to everyone, especially the students. He is constantly complaining about having to move the tables and chairs back to their original locations. Students from all walks of life use the Mall daily, either passing through, attending University events or just having lunch in the food court area.
.
Lots of people go there especially when it's so conveniently located at the Municipal bus interchange. Every bus rider in town goes inside for miscellaneous items or even a bathroom.
.
I'm sorry, but during the day this guy literally has nothing to do except empty trash cans every 4-6 hours, which literally takes a few minutes, then he sits, watches and complains all of the rest of the day. He doesn't have the stumbling drunken morons or emergency cleanups like second shift. He doesn't even have to vacuum like 3rd shift does, and he complains about client customers like he owns the place. Paying customers of many of the stores are literally being harassed and harangued by this guy, and no one says anything or complains because he works there. I know a guy that wanted to open a small business in the Mall until he saw what this guys nature was all about. He took his business elsewhere and it's flourished in its alternate location. Hodge lost out on that deal big-time, and they never even knew it or why. One day, someone will figure it out. Especially since this guy looks more homeless than some of the truly homeless that do frequent the Mall. These people don't do anything wrong. Most have hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month in prescriptions that CVS fills. They buy food in nearly every restaurant in the building (many more now then before). And the coffee, holy cow do these people drink coffee from not only Teaspoon's and the the Cookie Store, but from Starbucks across the street too.

All anyone can hope for is common courtesy and respect, but you'll be lucky to find that at OCM.response / report this review -

A good place to walk/jog around and spend some time. Area is very well maintained by city and it is right between downtown and riverside.

The stores in this mall come and go rather quickly. We used google to locate some cheap eats while roadtripping and it directed us here, only for us to find the restaurant in question had already closed and/or left the mall. Other than that, seems like a very nice mall.

Lots of fun and unique locally owned specialty shops and restaurants! A great place to stop for lunch. The attached parking garage offers the first hour of parking for free! Inside you will find a CVS Pharmacy, manicure place, plus a tanning place!

The retail space is small and half the mall is rented to UI programs. Parking and transit are superior at this location. It's a fone place for trade and crafts shows. Nicely located in the center of downtown Iowa City near the Old Capitol Building, itself.

It's the "Old Capitol Mall" but it really doesn't serve much of a shopping purpose. There's an odd shop here and there, mostly its just quick food options, kids studying, and university office space (more than half of the place)

A shell of it's former self, this used to be a decent mall. Granted, that it was not very big, but it didn't used to reek of Asian food like it constantly does now. Now owned by the University of Iowa, the only remaining shops are on the ground level and are few and far between. Mostly restaurants for students these days, and none are very good, which is why they constantly change. There is a Buffalo Wild Wings and a CVS there that manage to not go out of business.
