The movie theater that (I think) started the trend of assigned seating. Enjoy a nice drink or light meal in the lobby. But I simply love the open space and the general size and production of the experience here. It is a beautiful theater with great sound, picture, and awesome staff as well. My favorite theater in LA.

My all time favorite theater to go to... sadly they are currently closed. Been going for 25 years. I check their website every day to see when they will reopen. Hopefully soon! Cant wait to go back.

Beautiful place for families and plenty of parking space, in the back as well. First time going here for a movie and they have nice outdoors and indoors mall.

I do go here a lot. Not lately because of the pandemic. But I dont appreciate that I cant get a hold of anyone there by phone to answer some simple questions.

The seating here is very comfy. There are also sliding tables attached to your chair to hold your food and drink, so that is also a plus. Unfortunately, the food here can be a bit cost worthy. The selection of movies isnt always too great either, but then again, I dont think Ive had the problem where I had to go to a different theater due it a movie not being shown. All in all, I recommend this place.

This place was beautiful! We wanted to watch a movie for Christmas and do something different. We found this movie theater when we were looking up theaters near us and figured we would go. I am so glad we picked this one to take the kids to for our Christmas movie! We walked in and it was so beautiful and clean. The only I wished it did was serve adult beverages and had the heat going on a very cold Christmas Eve and it would have been perfect. The movie theaters were huge and you have to select your specific seats when you get your tickets because when you walk in your seats are very nice size electric recliners for each person with a little table to hold your food and drinks. It seems like it used to be a full service theater and maybe stopped at some point but we loved it and the kids were very happy! Definitely will go back to enjoy another movie when we come back and looking for some relax time.

I somewhat enjoyed this theater. Most of the foods, customer service and general atmosphere was up to par. I also enjoyed the sound system of the theater which I found to be mi h better than other theatres with this price range. However the seating in the upper levels do somewhat hinder the viewing experience due to a small wall that obscures view of the lower portion of the theater screen. However as long as you dont sit in that area you can enjoy a pretty decent experience.

This was one of my go to theaters. Unfortunately because of AMCs A list pass I have stopped coming here. I wish Krikorian would offer something similar because I actually enjoyed coming to this theater more than AMC.

Monday night was a super slow night as it seems less than 10 customers were on premises. Pricing seemed average as well as concession stands. We bought a medium combo 2 drinks and medium popcorn for around $18 with tax. I was disappointed in the popcorn which tastes very old and cold even though it was under the warmer. The worker began a new batch while we checked out he could have asked us if we wanted to wait for a fresh batch which I would have. They have a new recliner sample chair in the lobby to try and the boxes for such seats are in the hallways ready for assembly. I cannot wait for the renovation to take place although I am sure pricing will increase. Overall the place was kept nicely, bathrooms were alright and some of the staff was engaging. Would return to see how the new seats pan out.

Great theater to enjoy any movie. The interior look is amazing and the seats were very comfortable. They even have a food tray which is really convenient. Definitely going back for more movies.

Good theater. I love sound and the surround sound here is okay. The picture quality is great and the seats are unbelievably comfortable(reclining chairs!!).Still, sound is like everything to me so yeah. Disregard this comment unless youre single and go to the movies alone because you have no friends.

Watched star wars : tros with my nephew and brother. The seats are great and recline all the way. The sounds are pretty good and the snack options are good too. Ticket prices are reasonably priced and offer great value for your buck.

I watched Lion King and Dora within the last 3 days and I may watch another movie later on. Receptionist were friendly and courteous. Theater were not crowded at all. Reserved sitting and reclining chair, I couldnt asked for more. The movie ticket was reasonable but I havent tried the snacks. These are luxury in Canada

There was some construction going on in the theatres quite a while back. We walked around to the back of the complex before the movie. They put some comfortable recliners in, which are new!

Although I do not live anywhere near Buena Park, CA, I have been going to this movie theater for many years. It is a rather large and spacious theater on the backside of the Buena Park Mall. Its always clean and inviting. Recently, I rented out a theater for over 100 students and chaperones to see a movie premier, and the theater manager was very gracious and accommodating to our group. When in CA, I will always enjoy movies here!

Review №36

Nice, large leather power recliners with a built in swivel tray and cup holder. Assigned seating means you know where you will be ahead of time. Only complaint is that the back row has a small kick wall that if you recline too much, you cannot see over it. This is more a problem for children and smaller adults than tall people. Snack bar has pretty decent pricing compared to competitors.

Review №37

Honestly my favorite movie theater. There is reclining plush leather seats and reserved seating. The service and food is great, and you can even enjoy the movie from the front row without your neck getting tired.

Never been to this movie theater before, but Im glad I decided to buy a ticket and enjoy a movie. They got reserved seating so you and your party wont have to worry about looking for a seat. Plus, the seats recline so you can also relax while watching the movie. This place is amazing and I will definitely come back again.

First time here. Usually go to another theater. Seats were comfortable. Loved the table for your food/drinks. Snack bar was average prices. Popcorn was a little bland and there was no butter machine to add more if you wanted. Picture quality was great and the sound was loud and on point. Will probably go back!

Overall a nice clean theatre. All the seats are new and can fully recline... And are very comfy. Food prices are steep, but all movie theatres are the same.

Great place for movies. Fairly clean settings. Workers are kind and understanding. Messes usually cleaned up after a movie sitting. A lot of freedom in this theater, in fact Ive seem quite a few people movie jumping. The sound is 12/10. The audio in the theater is great. Most people are respectful and dont make to much noise during the movie. Amazing place to visit and chill for a few hours.

Review №51

This theater is the best because Its in a mall that has a lot of different stores that are good to shop at. Krikorian Theater at this location has super comfortable seats that recline and are assigned. Its not usually really busy and the staff is so friendly and helpful. The auditorium, bathroom, and Lobby areas are always very clean and tidy. And the tickets are only $8.50 for showings before 5p.m. Thats a great deal!

One of the best theaters Ive been to. They have pretty good service and reclining seats. The screen and audio quality is also good along with a great location. Its a standard movie theater which is what I love. Not this gimmick dine in luxury nonesense AMC does. I want reasonable ticket prices to go see a movie then dinner somewhere else. Krikorian provides.

I love this theater! Ticket prices are reasonable and the theater is clean. Not a huge variety of snacks, but they are always fresh and tasty. Love the new recliner seats!

Review №61

Overall experience was great. My group was dreading going to this theater only bc we know its a hot spot for teens and didnt want our movie experience spoiled by their immaturity. Needless to say everything turned out well. The seats were super comfy, reclined well, and were wide. The little table they provide although a good idea is a bit annoying. If they would good into the chair like plane tables, would have been better. But thats not the theaters fault. The sound in our theater was fantastic. I usually dont like eating popcorn but someone else in our group bought some to share. It was surprisingly good.

Love this theatre! First time coming here and our experience was wonderful. Staff was great and food was good too! My family and I ran late to our show of Wreck it Ralph due to traffic and usually other theatres after a certain time they dont allow you to switch your movies but the young gentleman who was Manager came out and was glad to help us out and understand our reason. A++Will be coming back!

I like it. Its a secret. No one is in there. See your movie with your feet up lounge chair. Eat your kids size popcorn and soda. No hassle

The pretzels are not good. Why dont you guys team up with the pretzel stand inside the mall? I hope you at least think about it. Their stuff they make is really good and you would be helping out your plaza.

Took my daughter to see the incredibles 2. The theatre was clean and the chairs recline and have a nice little tray that swings into place in front of you. They have Nice big arm rest and leather seating.You do have to select your seat when buying your tickets. I dont go to the movies that often but if you do I suggest looking into buying your tickets online. Given that when I went the day of the showing and bought our tickets just before, there where only a few seats left that were next to each other.Over all though, this is a nice theater. Ya the snacks, drinks, and popcorn are crazy over priced, But thats how it is everywhere. The good news is that in the Buena park mall there are plenty of places to eat before or after a movie. So skip their snack bar, and enjoy your movie and eat somewhere else.

Review №76

Theater is really nice. Lots of attention to detail. None of the screens we’ve seen have been small.Located in a nice mall which is unfortunately drying. Lots of closed business or these weird businesses malls bring in when locations have sent vacant too long and they just need anyone to pay rent.Eating options are probably nill in the mall. Eat elsewhere and just come here for the theaters.One real downside with their theater is that every screen, no mater how long it’s been since last visited has this annoying low level ground loop hum (buzzing sound) through the whole movie. If things are exploding the whole time you might not notice but anything quiet and it will drive you mad. This comes from improper electronics design and install and it’s in all screens. Given that It’s still there even a year after our last visit they just don’t seem to care.

They have the second best Sunday matinee prices in town. They also have the reclining seats with more than enough space for others to pass by once youve found your favorite position. Also love the trays that let you put your popcorn bucket down. The sound system is really good during action scenes and makes you feel like youre in the movie because of the staging of speakers.

For being in a lower-class neighborhood filled with looks like illegal aliens the theater is okay for the location. All the screens are medium size they need to put that place on the map but put it in an IMAX.

I went to watch avengers endgame and their theater messed up! I the screen was split in half with two different colors! It damaged my eyes as I have bad vision and it RUINED MY AVENGERS ENDGAME EXPERIENCE! I WASNT EVEN ABLE TO FINISH THE MOVIE! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND ALSO DAMAGED MY EYESIGHT! - THEATER 12 @ 8PM SHOWTIME ON WEDNESDAY MAY 1ST! CANNOT BELIEVE A THEATER RUINED THE MOVIE AFTER I STAYED OFF THE INTERNET FOR 5 DAYS!!! RIDICULUOUS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THEIR STUFF!
