Paradigm Mall

A location suitable for SJees or PJees to find a bus ride in the wee morning to KLIA/​KLIA2.
That is what I loved about this location.
Always keep the place safe!

I like it here because they’ve got H&M, Sephora and a UNIQLO store a short drive away from me. If it wasn’t so near me, I probably wouldn’t bother.
Besides the funky smell in the parking lot, I don’t mind it here.

Coming from PJ where all my friends are too, it was great when Paradigm first came to town because I was getting tired of going to Giant or driving all the way to One Utama just to hang out. I lived near Paradigm so it was easy for me to just walk there most days if I wanted to and my friends and I found it extremely convenient, transportation-​wise and also for just the sake of meeting. Paradigm has everything essential needed in a mall such as the cinema, cheap food (or slightly pricier!), lots of fashion retailers and it is also one of the first malls to bring H&M and Sephora to town! There is also a very punctual shuttle bus service from the Kelana Jaya LRT station to Paradigm and a separate bus service to klia2 for RM 10 if I’m not mistaken (?). Their office buildings will be up soon which they have taken some time to renovate so there will be even more people in this area soon but hopefully it won’t be too crowded!

It has been a month I have never been to Paradigm Mall. It can be considered to be a new shopping center in Klang Valley. When it first opened, we all assumed the traffic jam in Kelana Jaya will getting worse than before, but sounds that we were wrong. Don’t get me wrong, it is still jam, just not turn into worse or better.
When first visiting Paradigm Mall, I truly think its inner structure looks alike to Emipre Shopping Gallery. At that time, there were still many shop lots under construction. But now all have opened and they have successfully attracted more crowd.
I bet Paradigm Mall have certain partnership with AirAsia because you can apply Big card here and redeem point when you purchase in any shop in Paradigm Mall. And also, you can now take bus to KLIA 2 from Paradigm Mall. However, the bus here isn’t Skybus, it is Aeroline. Personally took both before, I think they are similar. All in all, Paradigm Mall is a great shopping mall. There are many restaurants. Don’t need to worry to find food there.

I really love this shopping center!
Aside from the confusing car park design, everything else was pretty much perfect!
Food choices are aplenty, shopping outlets as well, not to forget that there are also membership privilege for AirAsia BIG points members. That’s the MAIN THING to look forward to :)
I love hanging out at their boulevard area, it’s super windy and chilling, and there are some restaurants located along that area as well. Some people wouldn’t know of its existence, make sure you check them out!
On a side note, ever since the mall’s grand opening, celebrities from all over the world were invited for special appearance in the concourse area. I’m really amazed at how these arrangements are made and the marketing team for the mall is really amazing. Which then makes me look forward for special events happening in the mall.
There’s a cinema, a gym, and sooner or later we will see office buildings and hotels. Really looking forward for further development of this place. It’s going to be the next one utama!

As a former resident of Kelana Jaya, I must say it’s high time the area had a decent mall. This mall is literally 5 minutes away from my dad’s house and I used to come here fairly often with my mum just to grab a bite to eat or do some window shopping. The most annoying thing about this mall it that it seems to have some of the most haphazard design in terms of store layouts, lifts and parking. I still don’t know where everything is and the lifts are placed at weird locations and some are just for cargo but they are in a high-​traffic area of the mall… you get my drift. Oh and forget about the knowing what floor you are on. Instead of easy-​to-​remember number systems, this place literally goes like this: basement, LG, CC, UG, G, I… I don’t ever know the difference between concourse and ground and lower and upper. Just call it by normal floor systems. Whoever designed the layout should be shot.
That being said, there are a ton of places to eat a here, there’s a huge Tesco to shop in, lots of clothes and accessory shops and even a Sephora. So a huge plus point for me is that everything is under one roof. There are quite a number of shops for kids too, be it shoe shops, toy shops or clothing and baby shops. There’s also one of those play areas for kids (JKids) which is always packed on weekends. And obviously for a big mall there’s a cinema too (GSC).
The biggest plus point for me (since I have a toddler and an infant) is that there are many Baby Rooms in this mall, more than in other malls I regularly go to. So the management of this mall at least got that part right.

I have a love hate relationship with Paradigm Mall.
It’s near my house, I love that there is a convenient one stop shopping and entertainment arcade. It’s got a terribly confusing parking layout and an even worst floor planning for the shops, obviously we hate that. It took us quite awhile, but once you’re familiar with the general map, it is easy to determine where best to park depending on your purpose.
But what I really love is the AirAsia Big Points deal available for the ENTIRE mall. AirAsia Big partnered with Paradigm Mall to bring you value for money Big Points collection whenever you eat, shop or catch a movie. It’s 2 Points = RM1 on weekdays, and 1 Point = RM1 on weekends. This is a much better deal than collecting points from AirAsia flights, were you only get 1 Point = RM2. The only catch is you must claim the points on the same day of purchase (the counter available on LG floor), Tesco and parking payments are not points redeemable. As far as I know, Paradigm Mall is the only place with this partnership apart from KLIA2.
I love knowing that with each purchase (necessary or otherwise) my money goes that much further in contributing to a free flight somewhere someday. Speaking of which, there is an Aerobus shuttle service to both KLIA & KLIA2 at the mall entrance. As I fly quite frequently for work, this has been a convenient & cost saving addition to my journeys!
The event management of Paradigm Mall is also one of the most active around. The mall is constantly buzzing with activity, and have had hosted MMA fights, fashion runways, Running Man appearances, festival performances, etc.

This mall is one of my least favorite mall to be. Though they have quite a number of well known retail stores, lots of eatery and even a cinema, I felt that they are the most confusing mall. First of all, the entrance doesn’t have proper signage, almost every time I come here no matter if I’m driving or my friends/​family driving, we always miss the turn into the mall. We only sees the sign after we drive pass it and have to make a big U-​turn. Secondly, the layout is very complicated as they have both outdoor and indoor shops.
Hence, same goes to their parking. I seriously think that their parking is the worst parking ever. The parking lot have insufficient space (even when the mall is empty, it is still not easy to get a parking spot). Then, after you get a random parking spot, get in the lift, you will come out in a random area and the signage isn’t helping. I find this very dangerous especially for girl who are traveling alone.
There’s once where my family and I come here for a late night movie. We were directed by the signage to park ‘near GSC Cinema’. We ended up taking a lift and walked around the parking lot like a lost child just to look for the ‘GSC Cinema entrance’. It was no where NEAR our parking at all. Since then, we stop going there for movie.
Sometimes me and my hubby do go for some quick shopping there because it is located somewhere on our route home from work. Still, the parking lot is my least favorite part of the mall. Though they have outdoor shops (mostly eatery), I prefer to shop indoor. Outdoor shops just doesn’t work with Malaysia’s weather (don’t even mention Citta Mall to me).

This is a great mall to go to, even during weekends! Paradigm mall is located along LDP, near Kelana Jaya area and house many popular brands on fashion, dining and grocer outlets like H&M, Tesco, Sushi Zanmai, GSC, Uniqlo and Harvey Norman. Their brand outlets are extensive so I’m sure it’s a mall suitable for everyone.
I have gotten bored with the weekend crowds in the top 3 malls in PJ which is Sunway, One Utama and Midvalley and was delighted when I came here because it was simply easy to get a parking, without any jam to enter the building. A lady like myself of course focus on fashion and they do have the necessary brand I need, all in one place. (That would be H&M, Cotton On, Zara, Uniqlo, Lovisa and Sephora). If you’re looking for a good dining spot but don’t want the jam, you can find outlets like Plan B, Sushi Zanmai, d’italianies, Daorae or more so you’ll be spoiled with choices.
Amenities is clean and complete (toilets are squeeky clean!) and you can find ATMs for all the main banks here. Bag repair shops and also locksmiths are also available at the ground floor. Great, stress free mall.

I wasn’t a fan of this mall when it first opened because of its haphazard design whereby shops are not grouped according to their types but it has since improved. Another thing that has improved is their signage and parking system.
There are plenty of eateries here with a wide range of prices. Also the toilets here are clean and plentiful. I particularly appreciate the fact that their visitor directories, which are strategically located, are interactive and extremely informative, telling you where you are in relation to your destination on an interactive touchscreen map.

This could be one of the most stylish shopping mall in here. Judging by the outside, this place got more to offer inside.
There are so many franchises that available inside the mall either from abroad or local. The cinema on the uppest floor is quite nice and comfortable. As for groceries purposes, there’s a Tesco so that you don’t have to travel someplace else to get the best and cheap groceries.
It’s not hard to find since it’s located just next to the highway. This place is not always crowded and that’s the reason why I keep spending my weekends here.
