The food court has a few options although a lot of them have similar dishes and are really fighting to be the restaurant of choice with the low prices. There usually is enough seating so you don't have to wait, even during lunch. If you're sitting at two tables that are stuck together and aren't using one side, don't be surprised if someone asks if they can pull the table apart to sit next to you. There is a TV on each side of the food court depending on which way you're facing and it appears to always be set to Fairchild. The food court has notices that guests are restricted to a 60 minute sitting time. I've never been there that long so I'm not sure if it's enforced. I do always see maintenance wiping the tables and cleaning the trays so the tables are pretty comfortable. This little plaza really has everything you need!

The only issue is with our Canadian weather, an open concept mall like this is tough during the colder months. Really quiet during the colder months and who really wants to hang outside for too long.

You can even get some fresh produce and flowers too from Little Harvest Market.

It was my first time going there and I couldn't help seeing some architectural similarities to Hay's Galleria in the UK. Maybe it was the open spaces, the indoor-outdoor feel of the place, architectural features. Look it up... After exploring for a bit, we had lunch in the food court. With lots of choices, we had a Roast Beef meal and a Roast Pork meal from The Carvery. Both were very good, and at decent prices. Others decided on Fish Tacos from Hooky's, along with items from other vendors. We were all happy with our choices. After lunch, a couple from our group went to see Arcadia Earth, an artsy exhibit/show, while the rest of us wandered around, exploring The Well. Nice place. I'll have to come back another day. 4.5/5.0

You can find whatever Asian cuisine you'd like, ranging from Chinese, Korean, Japanese and more. The parking situation is not the greatest here, as it's hard to find parking at any hour of the day. There's also a supermarket, Freshway, that makes the plaza more lively and busy. Go Place is also attached to this mall, a 24 hour spa where you can lounge around, eat and use their different relaxation facilities. Inside of the mall you'll find a food court with many options, some of them being the famous bbq meat stalls, dumplings, HK favourites, Thai, bubble tea and more. You can also find a range of stores like cell phone carriers, glasses stores, Chinese herbal stores, and more. There's lots to look at in this plaza with the main focus being on food. You can get food items ranging from cheap to expensive here since there's the food court or dining in at the restaurants. Many stores to check out that sell an abundance of different things. A great spot to stop by if you're visiting Markham for the first time.

I recently visited New Century Plaza to have dim sum at New Century Restaurant. It's cool that the…read morerestaurant's name matches its plaza's name. Here's the question that I have been facing at work. We have a document with New in its title. Is it really new when this document has existed for a few years? I feel the same way about New Century Plaza. When you visit it, it's like the century look and feel dominate more than new. It is an older plaza. What I noticed is that there are a lot of stores selling Chinese herbs and medicine. I'd imagine that 80% of the stores that I had passed by were herbal ones. Besides the restaurant, across from it was a bookstore. It was a nice change. Before we left, we can across a chicken stand. The chicken looked weird and shredded. I made a comment about it, which made my friends laugh hard. It looked like mystery meat to me. Parking was a bit crazy on a Thursday at around 1 pm. I did manage to find a parking spot. It was much better when we left at 3 pm. I don't drop by this place often, but it's worth it for New Century Restaurant, which has fabulous dim sum. If you do need a herbal shop, you've got a ton of variety at this plaza. (114)

New Century Plaza is an older, dated mall that has been around since the 1980's.  The most vibrant…read moretenant here is the New Century restaurant in which we had a delightful dim sum.  The restaurant itself was vibrant but afterwards we putzed around in the smallish indoor mall here and it was pretty dead on a weekday morning.  The tenants and shoppers are naturally part of the older generation and there are numerous shops for items like ginseng and other dry goods. There was also one big florist and a bookstore.  The demographics makes sense as the youngsters have moved on to the shiny newer malls.   Something makes me think this place can still get busy on the weekends though because there are still a lot of Chinese up here that use these products and everything else for that matter!

With its towering 72-story office building, it stands as one of the tallest and most iconic structures in Canada.

It's connected to PATH and underground shops and restaurants. Also, Cactus Club is a great addition to this building, offering 3-story restaurant with lounge and a beautiful patio.

The PATH is much nicer than I expected it to be, and there's lots of nice shops and restaurants to check out. I got lost just looking for the tea place, so it is hard to navigate.

I've gone with my sister, cousins, or extended family for a stroll, a meal, or shopping over the years. There was even a time, a year or two ago, when I found myself there three times in two days! When my sister and I were just visiting Toronto a few weeks ago, we had lunch with cousins from out of town at the CF Shops at Don Mills. There's something for everyone and plenty to see and do. The CF Shops at Don Mills is known for some great restaurants. While there are some upscale and casual restaurants there, my favorite is Joey's, and I also really enjoy stopping by Lindt for some tasty chocolates. Other restaurants include Jack Astor's, Pi Co., Eataly, and the Good Son, among many others. You can find out more about the restaurants at the CF Shops at Don Mills at https://shops.cadillacfairview.com/property/cf-shops-at-don-mills/food. There are also plenty of shops, from upscale shops to more casual ones like Bath & Body Works. My favorite stores are Roots, Miniso, and on our last visit, we even stopped by the World Cup store, which closed the week after we were there. Similar to the restaurants, there are many shops at the CF Shops at Don Mills, which you can find out about at https://shops.cadillacfairview.com/property/cf-shops-at-don-mills/store#. There are also experiences with the interactive Town Square water fountain, where children frequently play and splash during the summer, and a miniature train that kids can ride. There is also a movie theatre, pickleball, and plenty of events, from an outdoor market to chess in the square. You can read more about the events at https://shops.cadillacfairview.com/property/cf-shops-at-don-mills/news-events. While store and restaurant hours may vary, they are typically 10 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, 10 AM to 7 PM on Saturday, and 11 AM to 6 PM on Sunday. There is a free parking structure.

Very unique from a typical indoor mall experience and more akin to outlets in the U.S. or out in…read moreMilton. The patios vibes just feel that much more inviting when your views aren't of the busy main roads. There is a central area where shoppers collect to have an ice cream or a coffee from the nearby patisserie. This area is always so lively. Despite the lively surroundings of this shopping centre, there is a calmness that comes with the experience of shopping here. Many relax in the Muskoka chairs by the fire pits or sit at the picnic tables while they let their kids roam free - a nice community feel. Security are always around and very friendly. There is a movie theatre, numerous lovely restaurants and fast food options, grocery stores, and some mid to higher end shops. They also run some very organized and exciting children's events - our favourite has to be the Trick or Treat event around Halloween. Everyone comes dressed up in their costumes and run from store to store collecting treats at participating retailers. This place is also beautiful during Christmas time. The central area turns in to a small skating rink! Would love to see more outdoor outlets in the city like Shops at Don Mills.

I frankly didn't know that the Asian mall by my workplace is called Dixie Park Centre. I only know…read moreit as the Asian food court that offers yummy cheap eats. My manager introduced me to this place. Our team drops by now and again to enjoy good meals at affordable prices. The food stall that I frequent the most is Arigato Box. When you are staring at all the food stalls, Arigato Box is the one on the right. This stall has a huge menu that's on a board. It's got pictures and prices. I tend to get the bento box because it has a bit of everything that I love and there is more than one type of bento box. I love yeung chow fried rice. Both Honey Pepper and Dynasty BBQ make this dish exceptionally well. They both don't skip on huge shrimp and veggies. It's delicious. Sea Star has Hong Kong-style items. I remember getting a seafood dish with two sauces with my manager. We loved the tomato sauce, but the white sauce had no flavour at all. We still loved the comforting food. There used to be a Vietnamese food stall called Pho Tai Loi. I loved the pho and vermicelli dishes. I was sad when it closed for good. I believe that a Filipino stall has taken over. I haven't tried it. I will admit that I rarely shop at other stores in this mall. It does have a second floor. The only reason why I was up there was because I needed to use the washroom. Washrooms are upstairs. The food court is downstairs. There is a snack shop called MyDelish on the first floor that has decent Filipino baked goods and more. I ended up getting pork rinds that had palm vinegar. They were fabulous. I remember getting bubble tea at Phoenix Bubble Tea eons ago, which is roughly across from the food court. I don't recall if I loved or hated it, so I need to get another one to sort that out. There was a clothing store next door from which my manager bought a purple hoodie. He is more of a mall shopper than I am. He was extremely happy with his purchase. I do know that there's Gino's Pizza. It's like the beacon of light at this mall. It has always been there since I found out about this mall. I like it here. It's a good place to stop by when you're on a budget, but want good food. I should visit more businesses in this mall when I'm back. (103)

Service is also pretty quick.

Woodside Centre is a shopping plaza across from First Markham Place, on Highway 7, just east of…read moreWoodbine Avenue, on the south side. I rarely call this place by its official name. It can be mistaken for Woodside Square, which is the shopping mall at McCowan and Finch in Scarborough. I used to come here often. Gone are stores such as Roots, Danier, Michaels, and Club Monaco. These days, I shop at Winners, Staples, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Chapters, and Longo's. I like the Kelsey's Roadhouse when I feel like wings and things. There's also a Home Depot and Winco Supermarket. I haven't been to either store. One of these days, I'll give them a try. There is lots of parking. A few years ago, a number of electric charging stations were set up across from Kelsey's. Often, you'll see folks sitting in their cars, waiting for them to charge up before they take off. The Chapters no longer has a Starbucks. It's a shame because I loved grabbing a drink and casually perusing the store while sipping. If you do need your Starbucks fix, you can get it at Longo's. You can earn double the points by scanning both your Starbucks rewards and Longo's barcodes. The old Michaels store is now a Joe Fresh outlet. I still need to drop by and see what goodies I can get. It's a decent plaza. I hope that the turnovers have stopped! (473)
