PMALL is my hood!!! It's the only giant Asian mall you will find in GTA or even Ontario. It's really one of kind around this area. The little stores remind me of some of the mall areas in China. But it would make sense because everyone here is pretty much from there and the business style gets transferred here. Weekend gets overly crowded and finding a parking spot is a nightmare. You can find anything here from hair salons, clothe shops, food, manicure, tons of trinkets and electronic repairs, Korean beauty make up stores, all which are owned by Asians. It's not sketch and people do business here well. It's a fun place to explore if you're bored of normal malls like Eaton centre and Yorkdale, of course you won't find many brand name shops here. Throughout the past years there has been an exponential growth of shops selling phone accessories, there's an aisle on the end just dedicated to it. Many might think it's cheap or it's a good deal here for accessories (or even anything else), but be aware it's pretty expensive for the quality they are offering. There's a food court on the second floor that has many different kinds of Asian foods, and A LOT of bubble tea shops. Many of which I don't like because they use a lot of powder and sugar. Beside PMALL is another mall called market village that has an even larger food court and more variety (used to has McDonald's). There's a giant fish store there too. read more

Pacific Mall is known to have chaotic parking situations. So I try to avoid this place, and would only go if I need something specific. Because I find that for the other things that people could buy here like bubble tea, Chinese food, pastries and baked goods, they can easily get somewhere else without having to deal with the frustrating parking situation. I only go here for one purpose, which is to get cellphone screen protectors and have them installed for me. As I find Pacific Mall has lots of these cellphone stores and I can just pick one of them. For cases and phone accessories, I just buy on eBay. I find that the same cellphone case that costs $3 on eBay costs $28 here, so why bother? Prices here are on the expensive side for most stores, so I don't find this place to be a bargain-hunter's dream. On the rare occasion that I visit Pacific Mall, I always make sure to come by the 2nd floor and get some Pinoy Waffles, as I love their food, and they make them really fresh with only a 2-3 minute wait. Over-all a good place to go, but not on the weekends. Ideal time would be weekday evenings, if you really need to check this place out. Review 39 of 100 read more

Pacific Mall has got to be the most overrated mall I've ever been to and it drives me nuts. For starters, the parking is absolutely dreadful. Finding a spot early afternoon on any given day or at all during the weekend is next to impossible. With so many smaller stores/restaurants, even with Market Village now closed, there's just not enough places to park. Add to the fact that some of the lanes are extremely skinny and with the awful drivers, you'll have a headache looking for a spot. Never go on weekends. The inside of the mall itself isn't as bad. It's generally kept very clean and the halls are wide enough that people can walk or stand in the halls without blocking people off, even at the busiest hours. There are also way too many places that sell only bubbletea and phone accessories and it takes up a large percentage of the mall. There are a few places to eat in the two food courts, though most of them are either unmemorable or horribly slow. One place actually took about 25 minutes (no exaggeration) to get a bowl of noodles. My girlfriend was stuck waiting an extra 15 minutes after mine was done. One other noodle place had a fly in her soup but she didn't bother returning it since she ate her other food and lost her appetite for anything after that so clearly their commitment to cleanliness isn't there. An area that this mall falls dreadfully short is the customer service. They just don't care about you what-so-ever and are only concerned about money - which you'd think would be counter-intuitive. Their attitude's terrible, multiple stores have employees who don't speak a lick of English and this is a well known place that sells counterfeit goods, which got reported by multiple places a while ago. The owner said they wanted to do something about and set up a site to report things like this, but I question their commitment to this. All in all, I don't recommend this mall at all. Back in high school, a lot of people I knew were always like "Let's go to Pacific Mall", as if to say it's the best place ever. It used to be better but now it's just downright bad. I was let down when I did go there the three or four times following that. They may have the odd neat store, but nothing stands out and there's nothing there you can't get elsewhere. The parking's dreadful and the customer service is completely non-existent. I honestly have zero idea why people like this place so much. Save yourself the headache of going here. It's simply not worth it. read more

I do love me some Pacific Mall! Where else in the GTA can I get boxes of eyelashes, Hello Kitty car mats, shark fin soup, eye glasses, DVD's, dried persimmons and a jade necklace in one place?! For all the stalls and vendors, the layout is quite good. If you are going, I recommend to do so during the week when the crowds are at bay, and to park underground so you do not need to schlep your jacket around with you. I have also been told that this mall is fairly easy to access by public transit from downtown. There are 2 levels of shopping. The top level is mostly food services. Do not miss out on the bubble tea and juice. I had a strawberry banana juice (in February!) that was to die for. Cash is the preferred method of payment for most vendors. There is only one cash machine on the main shopping level on the far north side. Also, there are washrooms only on the top shopping floor and the top floor of underground parking. read more

I was walking in Leslieville with sarah l., having just uttered the words, "I'm so glad I got to revisit Pacific Mall when it wasn't crowded," when a woman smoking a cigarette outside Comrade's busted out with, "When is Pacific Mall NOT crowded?" So I'm going to write basically what I told that lady last night: "Have dinner nearby like at Chung King Garden Restaurant http://www.yelp.ca/biz/chung-king-garden-restaurant-markham#hrid:GUC6ZshBQ3vfj_Ckfpke2g then head over to Pacific Mall around 8:00. Most of the stores will be closed but you can hit up Ding Dong Grocery http://www.yelp.ca/biz/ding-dong-grocery-markham#hrid:TvUe4KBLF87f6h0gAG8Jxg and go to the arcade, and even get a watermelon juice from the bubble tea shop on the second floor. No, the bootleg DVD stores will not be open at that hour but the mall will be empty and you won't be tossed around like a blow-up doll in a frat-boy circle jerk, either." I will only go to Pacific Mall at night, and preferably with sarah l. read more

Im seriously inlove with this MALL. Every time i go to Toronto i usually end up going to this mall. I love the stores although they're a little over priced with most of the stuff. I do recommend coming here during the weekdays when it's really not busy so you can browse around freely without bumping to anyone. The main reason why i go to this mall. 1) Asian MAKEUP! i always wait to go to this mall for make ups and avoid online delivery fees. Honestly, it is a little pricey but there are some stores that i know they sell them cheap. You just have to find and browse around. Usually the stores that are on the edge of the mall are the cheap make up stores with the same brand you'll see from the stores. I recently bough an electric eye curler since i dont' like to use the normal curlers and let me tell you; it works wonders. Then i have my favourite store which is the FACESHOP, i usually go there to get my BB Creams but now that there is one at Square One, i can go to that mall and get them. 2) FOOD! - their food is probably one of the reasons why i go there too. The beef balls and tripes are sooo good! I usually get 5 orders of each and sometimes ends up taking them home. Of course everyone can't forget about "REAL FRUIT" they serve real fruits for drinks and i mostly order either avocado or mango with tapioca sometimes. 3) PHONE CASES - Half of the stores SELLS CELLPHONE CASES and there are store that sells them over priced. Letting all the viewers knows that the store "BABE" something OVER PRICE their screen protectors and some called " labor " when they do it for you. Please, im not bout spending 20$ where you can get it for cheap. I usually get mine done at a small cellphone shop on the far right edge stores with the other cellphone stores. They only charge me 5$ and the screen protector, i always get it with sparkles ( im an sg3 user ) - usually when i go back to that store, its a different girl and she would tell me that it's 8$ but i tell her that i got it done for 5$ and she would give it to me. 4) Lastly, i get my polaroid mini films there since I HATE paying online delivery fees and they over charge the films online...even on EBAY and im a big EBAY buyer. I come here most of the time when im bored...i havent gone to Pacific Mall just by myself or even if i do; i try not to spend a lot of money. But its Pacific Mall...you're going to end up spending your money away anyways. read more

What are you looking for? plan to stay at this mall for a very very very long timeeeeee. Glasses, Sunglasses, nick nacks, food, whatever you can think of, it will be here. I love spending time walking around, there are a lot of little "hall ways". You can definitely do window shopping, actual shopping and just walk around!! read more

Hate coming here... The last time I was at P-Mall was approximately 2 years ago when my friend needed to find a qi pao for her wedding. Otherwise, I will not be stepping foot unless absolutely necessary. Parking is a disaster unless you're here early. Weekends are the WORST... and it's the prime location for those who somehow were able to pass their driving test. Most of the stores sell a lot of the similar things. For example there are prob a zillion cellphone accessory stores... clothing (ahh hk sizes and the prices are too high), snacks, etc. Most have the standard pushy sales ppl like in HK. Remember not to cave. read more

I have been going to Pacific Mall for a few years now and I have to admit it's a very unique place. The set-up of the mall is weird in a good way and there are all this amazing Asian products to buy. If you are new going there, you will feel very overwhelmed at the sheer site of this place. The first floor is like a maze and it is always crowded. With all that said, there are many things that grind my gears about this place. First of all is the fact that the more I come here the more it looses its magic touch. At first I was so happy and amazed with the amount of stores they had but then you realize that so many of the stores are selling the same thing. Pretend there are 50 store, 25 of those stores will be bubbly tea shops 10 will be computer shops and the rest boutique shops selling the same clothing brands (I see Ed Hardy and Juicy Couture must be really popular with the kids these days). Secondly is the fact that there are so many bootlegged items in this store, you sometimes feel put off purchasing things. Pirated DVDs and CDs are in so many places while a few shoe stores here will sell you fake shoes that are the same price as the real thing if you bought them in Foot Locker. My last complaint does not apply to all the stores but to a few stores and that is the fact that customer service is piss poor. After a certain incident this one car parts store had the nerve to laugh at my mom and talk about her in their native tongue. I wish that was an isolated incident but it happens a lot to me and many of my friends that go there. If they know you are not from the same country, they will start talking about you and treat you very cold. A friend of mine that was looking at clothes was followed around by the store owner and told not to touch things. It was like she thought my friend was carrying some sort of disease. Sometimes you go into a store and they don't even speak English. Yes, I know it is an Asian mall but we are still in North America. When this happens they look at you and ignore you. Well even though I probably sounded like I was ranting the past 10 or so sentences I do advise one to experience this place. It truly is unique and they also have some great food joints. read more

50% Cell phone cases, 25% Off brand women's clothing, 25% knickknacks. Wonder around and count the clerks on their cell phones. Inexpensive Asian culture, without being in Kensington Market. Mind you, there's a lot of markup on things you could get off eBay, but feel free to haggle and observe the endless % off signs. read more

Bad layout, shop owners are rude and kick you out for asking questions. I do not recommend this mall what so ever.

I've been coming up to this site for many, many years - back when Pacific Mall was still Cullen Barns. How many of you remember that? Over the years P-Mall has essentially stayed the same. It's a booth-style mall specializing in all things "Asian." Although most shops take credit cards now, it is wise to bring cash. Most times you can bargain a bit and pay the "sticker price" (i.e. no tax) if you pay cash. DO NOT come early as none of the independently owned shops open before noon, and most close up around 8pm. If you come on a weekend be prepared to fight with some feisty Asian woman driving a Honda Civic with stuffed animals lined up in her rear windshield for a parking spot! It gets really crowded really fast. Walk along the west side for electronics, games & consoles and DVD's, lots of clothing and accessories stores in the middle - and if the items start to look similar after a while it's because most of them own each other. I found this out by trying to pay with a credit card at one store, and they sent me down a couple of booths to their sister store to use their credit card machine! There are lots of places for good take-out bubble tea and there are lots of food options upstairs. Canada Computers is a good place to check out if you are looking for computer parts, cables, etc. My favourite thing in this mall is Mosaic jewelery store, since I can't fit into Asian sized clothes or shoes (*sigh*), I don't buy bootleg bags, DVD's or toys (yes, there are bootleg toys...Kello Hitty anyone?). i've recently learned that there is a Beard Papa location in this mall, so I may just have to pop buy sometime soon! read more

For me, once is enough. I came here to attend a wedding reception at the Golden Regency restaurant and I was really excited to see this place after hearing all the hype for the past few years. Parking was definitely the most stressful part of the visit, but I found the "mall" itself to be quite boring because so many of the places sell the exact same things. I guess if I came here looking for something very specific I might have been successful, but the flea-market look doesn't do much to make merchandise appealing, and overall there just seems to be a lot of knick knacks for sale. Fine if that's what your after, but I guess it's not for me. My big question is how do all these vendors stay in business selling such similar merchandise so close to each other? Is the market for cell phone covers really that big? The food selection seems okay - there are quite a few priced reasonably but don't look for anything like a North American chain - the only western-style food is Wanda's Belgian waffles, which looks like it does more business than nearly any other vendor selling food there! I strongly advise you to avoid going here on the weekend if you're just out for a casual visit. read more

If you need cellphone accessories, bubble tea, eye glasses or knock off clothes this is your place. Otherwise its not worth the stress of driving and dodging rich Chinese kids in their exotic cars. read more

Came here for the first time this weekend, like finally i get to visit the legendary pac mall. If i had a thing for a large selection of cartoony crap or phone covers then this would be heaven but it really was a pointless visit. I did not check out the upstairs but maybe next time that will improve my like of this place read more

I love you, Pacific Mall. I love you because you assure me that it's OK to love Hello Kitty and spend all your money at machines trying to get dangly bell charms for your cell phone. It's normal to want bubble tea more than any soft drink, and it's fine if you want to eat dim sum for every meal of the day. I do not love you because all your storefronts look identical, and I have no sense of direction. I do not love that all the clothing stores look the same inside so I can't remember which ones I've been in. But even the parts I don't love, I still love. I love that I can find knock-offs of EVERYTHING here for incredibly cheap. Not as cheap as China obviously, but this place reigns as one of the best places to buy a really good LeSportSac knock-off for under $30 (Who can justify $200 for a nylon bag??! I can't.). Plus they have $15 basic cardigans that I have in every colour because they're THAT good. If you're coming to visit Pacific Mall, plan a whole day for it -- they're open every day of the year (including Christmas) and they have everything contained within the mall to entertain you. Hell, they even have a tattoo parlour, an arcade, some restaurants and a couple hair salons if you want to get more done than just shopping. As for getting there, they have a huge parking lot which fills up quickly but moves around a lot. After a few circles, you'll find a spot. And if you're taking transit, go to Kennedy Station and take the 43 bus all the way North. Get off at the last stop and enter Canada's answer to the Asian mall. This was THE place for pirated DVDs, but word on the street is that recently an undercover cop has been stationed to scour the mall at all times, scaring all the stores out of business. I am deeply saddened. Nowhere else could you get 10 seasons of television in DVD quality for $40. We'll see what Pacific Mall is like without DVD heaven. My bet is that it'll still be awesome, because it's basically China transported on the border of Toronto, and who doesn't like to go to another country for a day? read more

Yeah!! Asian mall! Yeahh!! Perhaps because I am not from Toronto and we don't really have any Asian malls, I find this one so super super cool! Everytime I visit TO, I always have to make a trip to this spot. One) awesome food court, especially the waffle booth two) cute stores with cuteness overload merchandise like the one in the food court. I bought 4 cute keychains like hello kitty for 10 bucks! three) variety of asian brands boutiques with sometimes unique clothing four) there is i believe few japanese snack stores...which I once broke my wallet there. I got so many of those Japanese food making kits (kracie) seriously I wanted to tell the cashier to take all of my money...just take it! ok so those are my important 4 reasons for wanting to live at this mall. I think it's a great place that everyone should visit at least once! And warning, if you like Japanese junk food and snacks, steer clear of the snack shops. You WILL break your wallet and cry from happiness then regret when you realize you are broke. read more

This place makes me miss home. I tend to spend a whole day here. Lunch in the upstairs cafeteria consists of noodles. Just follow the loud banging noise. It's handmade noodles the Asian way. Then I'd walk around and snack on fried dough and bubble tea. There's lots to see and lots to do so don't be lazy. Walk into stores and browse. read more

Closest thing I have seen to a mall in China or Korea outside of those countries. No guarantees on quality, but there are not many places where you can get a cute cellphone cover, medicinal herbs, Asian candy, a lawn statue, Chinese BBQ and set of aftermarket rims. Also, I saw at least six bubble tea places, and there are certainly more I missed. If you are in the area, it is worth a stop for the kitch factor alone. I can't wait to go back to find more. read more

*2.5 stars to be exact* I always want to go to Pacific Mall when I'm traveling to Canada specifically Toronto. I always want to come here because of their snack shops, they have a variety of food and bubble tea stands, and interesting gift shops. I went to Pacific Mall with my fiance and my future brother in-law along with his wife since they both enjoy walking around malls and checking out for interesting snacks. We went on a Monday afternoon after dim sum instead of going on Sunday to avoid the crowds. Unfortunately, when we arrived on Monday it was very crowded. It's like Canadians don't have work. They're living the life! Moving along, when I came here in July 2015 I noticed there was a lot of mobile and electronic accessory stores which I found it to be annoying. Guess what!?!? There was a lot of them again! It's like everywhere! I mean, honestly do you need 15-20+ mobile and electronic accessory stores? It's boring and pointless! I must admit this mall isn't as exciting as it used to be when I was a teenager. I wished there were more shops related to like gifts, hair accessories (I can always use more hairclips), and more seating area besides what's on the 3rd floor. read more

As a child Pacific Mall was my mecca for all things Sanrio/Anime. Now as an adult, I am more interested in the delicious food they have here! TBH I wouldn't come here for the shopping because it is limited to clothing imported from China, video games, and beauty/trinket stores. My brother was bored to death!! I did pick up some Korean and Japanese beauty supplies but the prices are STEEP. There are plenty of bubble tea places and the food court is pretty legit. I love the lamb skewers and the curry fish balls! read more

After hearing of this place as the butt of many jokes from Russel Peters, I have finally come to witness Pacific Mall. Personally I really don't get what the big deal is. This isn't a "mall" in the North American sense. This is more like a middle to low end shopping center in Hong Kong. No real stores in the shopping mall sense but lots of cubicle like stalls for stores and shops. Looking at those stalls does bring me back to Hong Kong. The stores are a mixture of bootleg DVDs, FOB-tastic clothing, Asian jewelery, dry goods, house goods, boba and even a froyo shop . Basically this a Chinatown (minus groceries/butchers/fish-mongers) contained in one building. In California, this would be one gigantic strip mall, like the one by Pacific Commons in Fremont or that big mall in Milpitas. But it is one building because walking outside would not be fun in the winter months here in Ontario. read more

Everything you have heard about Pacific Mall is....probably true. Although some stories may or may not be exagerated your experience at Pacific Mall can be quiet or extremely entertaining depending on what you choose to spend your money on. Yea this mall has plenty of parking but beware of busy weekends and fast cars and pedestrians in your way. There are a ton of shops around the mall and your food options are pretty much endless if you are craving anything close to asian food. I always come here to get glasses for myself and my family and the best part is if you bring cash....you can haggle and ensure you get the best price! However...be prepared to walk away and go to another store if they do not meet your standards. You can get car parts, cell phone accesories, candies, and those Super expensive Green Tea flavores Kit Kats from Japan that cost anywhere between $6 - $12 for one pack but its so worth it! I always get the egg thing where they sell 3 for $5 and it tastes so good every single time! Pacific Mall is ALWAYS open! read more

Pacific Mall is a cool place to walk around and browse. It is a complete departure from your typical North American mall experience. After going here several times over the years. It does have its place. Perhaps you may find something unique and imported that's not available at any of the other malls you frequent. You can get your spicy fish ball fix in the SE corner, imported cell phones along the East side of the mall, latest video games from Japan, computer parts, some HK fashions and of course there is no shortage of cheap bubble tea. Business operates a little different in this mall. So bring ca$h if you catch my drift. :p Parking can be a pain on the weekend especially on statutory holidays. It's a popular spot for locals and out of town visitors a like. I hit up pacific mall aka Pac mall/p-mall from time to time and see what's new. Random fact, this was where the Cullen Country Barn once stood. The comedian Russell Peters likes to mention this mall in his jokes. read more

Great place to kill some time. Reminds me of when I visited China because all the stores are all mini and there are no changerooms - just a curtain for privacy. Definitely fun to browse and sometimes you can get stuff for decent prices without ordering it off eBay and getting it direct from China. read more

I like this mall for reasons that are unknown to me. It's big, but basically there are really only 10 types of stores in here: Chinese medicine, cell phones, computer parts, clothing, illegal videos/music, buddhist furniture stuff, jewellery like jade or pearls, video games, eye glasses, and food. It gets hot in the summer and busy on weekends. If you are driving then you better arrive early or you'll have a tough time parking. I noticed that a lot of stores are closing up shop, probably because they have 1320 other competitors in the same mall. Nonetheless, if you are into Chinese culture this is a cool place to check out. Lots of food choices that are quite tasty and reasonably priced upstairs. read more

I think this mall is worth a visit, but I don't think that I would frequent it that often if I lived in Toronto. It's so big! With rows and rows of booths....but not much variety. You've literally got cell phone accessories, cosmetics, and clothes. The end. There's so jewelry stores, videos, and random other stores, but for the most part, it's all the same. There's a large food court area upstairs that looked pretty good. There were also lots of home goods stores and hair salons. Just not sure if the crowds and the incredibly hard to find parking is worth it. read more

Yea... FOB's wet dream. I really hate shopping... but this is probably by far the largest Chinese mall in North America... really... why can't California have something like this??? All the Asian malls in California are sh*t compare to this. After driving 9+ hours from Ohio to visit our relatives in Toronto, this is the first place we hit. This place really reminds me of Hong Kong (but the malls in HK still the best). It's 2 story high. If all the parking spaces are fill, no worry, there's a underground garage. There's a lot of shops on the first floor and some on the second floor. First floor is laid out as a uniform grid of glass cubicles. I would say there are several hundred shops here. Food court and restaurants on the second floor. Pretty much has everything you want here. Their glasses and sunglasses are much better than what I can buy in the US... much CHEAPER TOO!!! read more

wow, this place is a mecca for all things asian! beware of the parking lot during peak times though; it gets ridiculously crowded and it can easily take up to 30 minutes of circling and stalking to find a spot. there are tons of bubble tea shops in here, as well as lots of DVD places where you can buy pirated copies of current and older movies for a few bucks, if so desired. i also like checking out the makeup stores because they carry hard to find brands from japan and korea, although prices may be a bit on the higher side. if you get hungry, there are plenty of asian candy/snack stores, aforementioned bubble tea shops (many of which also carry food) and the large food court to sate your appetite (also follow your nose to the freshly made waffle snack stands). there's also a subway if you are overwhelmed by all the asian-ness and just want a sandwich. :P read more

I dread going to Pacific Mall and it's really not that great if you ask me. There is definitely a tonne of Chinese shops selling a variety of stuff but there are also like 20 shops selling the same things. OK, maybe not twenty but there's a lot. As far as window shopping is concern, there's really nothing much to see there. The fashion stores are very Asian oriented, not your regular Canadian mall kinda clothing. Personally, it's not my cup of tea. There are shops selling pots and pans, Asian gifts, Asian herbs, cell phones, etc. They call this little Hong Kong but if this is HK, I wouldn't want to go, to be honest (I've been there myself and it's way better of course). The food court is pretty decent. They have a variety to choose from although not all of them are good. The parking lot is pretty big but there's never enough space especially during the weekend and holidays. I have no idea what's so great about this place. Parking are so scarce that people actually wait in the parking lot, ready to pounce at the first available spot. Seriously? Also, beware, the drivers are extremely RUDE. If there's anything that stops me from going, it's the parking. Avoid at all cost. You can buy the same stuff from Chinatown or the surrounding areas in Markham. It's a Chinatown in itself anyways. Plus, you get better deals minus all the parking hassle. read more

Although, alot of people like this mall but I personally don't like it. If any of you have travelled to Hong Kong and/or China, Pacific Mall is like a HK and/or China flea market. I honestly think majority of the stuff in that mall are fake, from clothes to sunglasses to the DVDs don't really think anything is real in there except the human beings... The parking gets very chaotic during the weekends which I don't understand why, its not like its the only Chinese shopping mall in Markham. Alot of young kids and Caucasian people go there for I don't know what reasons... The only reason I come here is that if I desperately need something that I absolutely can't find anywhere else. If I had to pay more to buy it elsewhere. I will do it! Like a zoo is such pretty much the most accurate word to be used here...Like a zoo WITHOUT security that is...=) read more

Pacific mall, who hasn't been here? Honestly. This use to be my go to for bootleg DVDs and Bubbletease. The now non-existent arcade upstairs, yup, I'm old. With a parking lot reminiscent to rush hour in China, parking can be a task in its own. As Kris U mentioned, this parking lot can be compared to the Bermuda Triangle. This is absolutely no place for an amateur driver (because it's full of amateur drivers). Get it? Good. Moving along. Presuming you've never been to pacific mall before, you will enter via one of the 19 entrances and be absolutely sucker punched in the face with an overwhelming smell of noodles, bubbletea, waffles and dim sum. But it does become tolerable after a few seconds. Browsing around the mall, you will find that their are several types of businesses, such as the clothing stores, imported food stores and about 3000 cell phone case stores. Some legit, some not so much. BUT who doesn't love a good deal right? The place is pretty clean, I always see janitors walking around and cleaning. Security is everywhere too, mostly around centre court. Upstairs is food food and food. Some other shops upstairs as well. As a few other users of Yelp have mentioned, some shops can be extremely, blatantly racist. I've experienced it several times, so my Asian buddy now accompanies me every time I go. Call me a liar if you'd like, but I've saved hundred'$ of dollars with him standing beside me negotiating in Cantonese. Also bring cash. You may as well write down your banking information on a piece of paper with your pin if you decide to use plastic here. Anyways, not what it use to be. A lot of the fake stuff isn't as easily accessible anymore, bootleg DVDs are a thing of the past.. There's a couple automotive stores, bubble tea and easily a million cell phone cases. Besides that and the decent food court, there really isn't much left of this gigantic mall. 2/5 for me! read more

There are no words to describe P-Mall. It's a place of magic, wonders and feats of supernatural proportions. You can buy anything here. ANYTHING. And it's all dirt cheap. Sure, it's all designer knock-offs. But damn son, at this price, I'll buy 'em all. Be sure to try out all the yummy food here too. No need to go hungry at P-Mall!

It is very large and quite fun, though as other reviewers pointed out, the stores tend to be a bit repetitive. 70% fall into three categories: cheap electronics, bootleg dvd's and herbal stores. There are also lots of bubble tea places, some jewelers offering very attractive looking wares (have no idea about the quality though) and two small food courts with some very good and very reasonable lunch food. The upstairs "heritage" area features some decor of the glorified Chinese restaurant variety. There is one Japanese store offering a nice selection of porcelain, lacquerware and the like. I visited the other two Asian malls nearby and found them much less interesting except for the nice supermarket in the one next door. If you have friends visiting from out of town, this is a good place to take them if they are non-Asian and want a different style shopping experience. As for Asian people, I'll take the word of those posting here as to how this place reflects a cultural experience (or does not). read more

The mall that most people either love or hate. As a Chinese herb enthusiast, there are a plethora of stores to check out. The layout of the mall is quite unique from ordinary Western malls. When I first stepped in the mall, I had pondered why there are stores that sell the exact same products across from each other. You may find yourself standing in between two strikingly similar stores. It is as Lewis Black says it "the end of the universe"... Good place to find imported goods from Japan,cell phones,dvds,etc You will find that many items are ridiculously overpriced, thus its best to go shopping during a time of sale(but even then it may still be expensive to some folks).It is convenient in that its open every day of the year. Not the best place to go window shopping however. Overall, great place to check out if you are into Asian culture. read more

Oh wow. I can't believe I haven't rated P-Mall or wrote anything about it, but these points should summarize it very well: -Largest indoor Chinese mall in North America -100's (probably not exaggerating) of cell phone accessory stores and they have it cheap. -Bubble tea places -Asian DVD's -Some okay food options. -Crazy parking nightmare on weekends and holidays. -Easy to get lost since everything looks the same and there are duplicate stores (e.g. like 2-3 Real Fruit bubble tea places). -Gift stores Overall, it's a touristy place, somewhere to buy cell phone cases/accessories, drink bubble tea and buy Asian DVD's if you can put up with the parking. Tip: Come before 11:00 am on the weekends and make sure when you park, you can get out easily. read more

DO NOT BUY ELECTRONICS HERE - ESPECIALLY PHONES FROM THE SHOPS. YOU WILL REGRET IT. The Rogers at the front entrance (Steeles) is a good place to start if you're looking to open an account/switch over. I highly recommend getting in touch with Allan - this guy is great! The food here is delicious. I highly recommend the BBQ Grill upstairs. You MUST try the grilled squid skewers and the lamb skewers! You'll be coming back for more! The lady who works there remembers me because I come there so much. She is so friendly and that just makes her restaurant one of the best there is in that mall. What can you take away from this review? ONLY GO FOR THE FOOD! read more

There's something about Pacific Mall that keeps bringing you back, no matter how much you hate the amount of people and lack of parking... Been here countless times over the years, but it is pretty much the same (if it hasn't gotten worse). Parking is a nightmare, as there are literally no spots at any time, and it seems everyone is fighting over the spots that are available, making driving conditions terrifying. Once you get inside, there is essentially a maze of stores, and you can never seem to find anything more than once. You kind of just stumble across a store and go in. A lot of the stores repeat, as there are many stores under one owner, and they all have similar or identical stock. However, prices are usually dramatically cheaper and you can haggle from time to time, depending on the store. Some of the smaller food vendors upstairs are quite good though. Some of the best curry beef balls can be found here! Overall, this is one of the malls that I hate going to, but is the go-to place to get certain things. If you're in the market for cheap phone accessories, everyday items, makeup, or even clothes, this is a good place to go (if you don't mind the parking and crowds of people of course!). read more
