I’ve gone here a few times but stuff is way too expensive. I can get the same quality items for a small fraction of the price, and I get pretty nice stuff. I once saw an outfit on display I liked and then I looked at the price tag. $ 20,000. I don’t care how rich you are, this is a total complete waste of money. Ridiculous.
Not everything is that expensive, but for example, most regular tshirts are $ 100 to $ 200, a pair of jeans, $ 200, etc. Totally absurd prices. I am happy with my $ 50 jeans, thank you. I like to get $ 60 to $ 80 jeans on sale at other places for just $ 30 to $ 50.
I once went here to get shoes and they fitted me for the shoes but when I said I don’t know if I’m going to buy today they completely changed their tone and acted like I didn’t exist. Well then, I won’t buy the shoes then! Is what I thought but didn’t say because I wanted to be respectful. I ended up getting better shoes at another store nearby.

About average for Orange County.

I took a dump here a few minutes ago while my girlfriend shopped for shoes. Their restroom was very clean and have a very minimalist design. The air freshener wasn’t overpowering but does a good job of masking the odors. Sadly though, they only provide you with two ply toilet papers that has a smooth texture and doesn’t do a good job of absorbing shit. It wasn’t soft either, it folds sharply with unpleasant angles. Needless to say, my booty was rustled.

There are Coach bags that retail $ 1,000?! Never knew they retailed for that much until I came to this store; by the way, the Coach bag I was referring to was marked down significantly.
I used to go to this store on and off when I lived in Orange County and I really used to like them a lot until some of the stuff I bought here fell apart after only a few months. For example, I bought a peacoat here years ago, thinking that it was high quality. Unfortunately, the buttons kept popping out even though I wore it occasionally for 2 months. I still have it, but I am constantly having to resew the buttons. Rule of thumb: don’t buy anything here that’s off-​brand because it is poorly made.
I also feel like their clothes, sunglasses, and shoe sections are poorly organized. I never shop for clothes at any Nordstrom Rack because I find this so off-​putting. Not because I find it beneath me, but I hate having to dig for clothes when it’s already hard enough to find things that are my size. Shoes are a little bit better and you can find some pretty good brands here like Ferragamo, Burberry, and Coach/​Michael Kors/​Tory Burch.
I will say that they have upped their purse selection quite a bit since the last time I was here, which was about 5 years ago. This Nordstrom Rack has WAY better purses compared to San Diego.

This NR is starting to resemble a Tj maxx. There’s no organization and it seems like the massive clearance racks have taken over. Surprisingly they’re full of nothing good. The line here is also usually long and slooowwww

I came here to purchase a cardigan to wear while at work. The selection was okay, but not the purpose of this review. The store was somewhat messy and I felt like the clothes were placed randomly. It was not as clean as I hoped this to be.
The associate who helped us made me feel like I was a dollar sign to her. She did not greet or say hello. All she said upon arriving at the register was,“do you have a nordstrom card?” I work retail as well so I understand when it is busy that customers are waiting in line; however, there was not a line behind me and I would have liked to felt more valued as a customer.
I may come back, however I would rather go to the Nordstrom across the street because I receive better service than I do here.

A shoppers dream for me!
Best (IMO) for shoes, workout gear, and fun tops.
Hard on my bank account when I go. I never fail to find more than I’m looking for. Their Kate Spade table always has me tempted and drooling.
Lines can be long for dressing rooms and check out. Avoid peak hours and not so bad! Not as tranquil as shopping at Nordstrom across the street but the bang for your buck factor more than makes up for it.

The Rack Metro Pointe and the Nordstrom Irvine Spectrum are dog-​friendly places. Some customers might not be, but I’d like to think they were a cat in their past life. Given that I already did a Unilocal review for the Spectrum, the Metro Pointe warrants some praises from my recent venture.
While I was post-​Christmas shopping with my husky, Herbert, he started to feel unwell. We quickly exited the store with no purchases in hand, and 5 feet from the door he did some damage. As I was taking out the doggie bag and also figuring how to pick up the wet mess, I heard a voice requesting clean up. I looked up to a gentlemen with a hipster tie, letting us know to not worry about it. Ladies around me were reassuring that I did not need apologize because when he has to go, he has to go. Wow. I did not need to be a paying customer for them to rush to aid and that was nice, and very understanding patrons.
I’ll be here again to find more deals. Definitely put my spendings with a place that cares for all patrons.

I couldn’t help myself. I just had to. They’re doing another «Clear the Rack» clearance extravaganza!
Today, I found a gorgeous black, gray, & white striped Salvatore Ferragamo (!!!) dress shirt that fits like a glove. If it wasn’t for that awesome discovery, I probably would have walked out with the Canali (yes, again!), Dolce & Gabbana, Thomas Mason, &/​or Billy Reid shirts I encountered at the clearance racks earlier in the morning.
I also found a great pair of Gant shorts that was over 85% off! All in all, my grand total was comfortably under $ 100… And that includes a genuine Ferragamo shirt! What else can I say? This is the store where we score!

This location seems to be much better than most. They have a great selection of just about everything. They are a bigger store so they get more items which means better selection. I usually can find what I am looking for here and if they don’t have it they are happy to check other stores. The big drawback with coming to this location is the line to check out is always so long. The good thing is that the line moves fairly quick, as there are plenty of help ringing. Overall, a great store and a great location.

Located at Metro Pointe, specifically across from DSW Shoes and right next to the Edwards movie theater. My mom and I came here for the first time last Sunday during their special clear the rack sale (additional 25% off red tag items). It was rather crowded with long lines at the register when we first arrived about 2.5 hours before closing. But as the time progressed, there was no more lines 45 minutes before closing.
Anyways, there were so many wonderful finds to be found here. I especially liked that their high end designer clothing items are specifically organized by brand (in alphabetical order). I wished all Nordstrom Rack locations would take note of this. I enjoyed most of my time here after I quickly walked through the handbag area (which didn’t have much to grab my attention).
After going through the racks in this area, I eventually made my way to the shoes. I found quite a few high end brand names in the shoe racks in my size. Here I spent more time trying on shoes as my mom was going through some of the near by clothing racks, adding more items to our cart.
During our visit, I interacted with 4 employees, all of whom were very friendly, despite the long and busy work day I imagine they had.
If only I had visited this location sooner. But I will be sure to make a visit the next time I am in this part of Orange County. Maybe for their next big sale (Black Friday through Cyber Monday, take an additional 30% off red tag AND blue tag items!).

This Nordstrom Rack never disappoints on the amount of designer items it has. Everytime I an visiting Orange County I love shopping here and finding all my favorite designers there.
This location can be overwhelming because of the amount of items its sells-​which leads to big crowds and long lines. Be prepared on the weekends to fight the parking and long lines.
This past Friday, the shoe area was a disaster but nonetheless I was able to find nice boots and my mom found cute flats.
Try coming on a weekday if possible.

I shop at this store all the time, I have the nordstrom card and spend thousands. This store use to be the best one, compared to the one in laguna hills, orange and Huntington Beach. I was just there and everything was a horrible mess, clothes and bags were all over the floor and their sunglasses section was the worst, for a minute i though i was at a thrift store, swap meet or a really bad garage sale. I was so annoyed that i wanted to talk to the supervisor on duty, after making eye contact and trying to get someone’s attention several times, seems like everyone was busy or just ignoring me,.
Hope the store manager read this and do something about it, I know it’s a discount store but come on you are still paying $ 100 bucks for sunglasses that’s don’t come with a box or matching case and most of the time show wear and tear.

I found $ 595 Pedro Garcia sandals for $ 170. Happiest day of my life. Really, nothing more needs to be said.

I came in to make a Hautelook return. I asked the clerk (rng emp 9 186 552) if I could get it back on a gift card because they do not do exchanges from Hautelook, and I was going to buy something. She originally said YES. Then she proceeded to return it to my original form of payment (debit card) which is exactly what I did not want to happen (since that card was compromised). Now I have to wait even longer to buy the item I want. Looks like I won’t be coming here to this location for a while.
Tip: Make sure your employees aren’t just hitting buttons to get through transactions, make sure they HEAR the customer. You’re a part of Nordstrom Company… I expect more.

I don’t know how to feel about his store because sometimes they have some good items, but then other times it seems like that have shifted their focus on older men whom play golf and wear suits all day.
Their prices vary… sometimes you can find a very good deal. On the other hand, according to their price stickers… they appear to offer discounts, but the discount is not significant.
A good thing about Nordstrom Rack is that you can take your item to a regular Nordstrom store to get it altered… they will treat your garment /​item as if you bought it at their regular store.
Another benefit is that you can return items to Nordstrom Rack that you purchased at Nordstrom.

My friends always rave about the magnificent designer deals they find at nordstrom rack. I’ve been to a number of NRs before but I absolutely hate the chaos. Recently I ventured in here after going to off 5^th and lo and hold I saw a plum herve leger dress for $ 200. It took almost all my willpower to walk away since I didn’t have an occasion to wear it anytime soon. But what a freaking deal. The shoe section seemed like there would be some deals on mid level shoes like Kate spade, coach, or mk, but the number of women trying on shoes was just nuts.

SOMETHING GOOD FOR EVERYONE
I didn’t know that the Nordstrom Rack had relocated. If my memory serves me right, this location is even larger. I do remember when then they opened at the prior location and how well it was received by shoppers making it an incredibly super busy retail outlet success. The inventory at this location is impressive and certainly far better than other Nordstrom Racks I have visited anywhere else. I won’t be surprised that this location gets first dibs for the better stock.
Lots of shoppers and clothing carried out of the store in their Nordstrom Rack plastic bag. I would assume majority of these shoppers would rank their shopping experience as a four or five. Those who didn’t find anything suitable might consider it otherwise a lesser experience.

This store has the largest shoe collection & fancy gowns. There’s a center parking structure vs the back one under the movie theatre nearby. Convenient eateries nearby too. I can shop here all day long.
Nordstrom has an easy return policy within 90 days.
