AKA "P-mall" to locals. People will roast P-mall for myriad of reasons (less customer service and more stalking customers to make sure they aren't stealing, little room for bargaining, no return/exchange policy, most dangerous drivers in Canada concentrated in the P-mall parking lot, etc.) but all this plus the good things make P-mall, P-mall.
If you're a tourist and someone tells you to visit P-mall, this is accurately what you will find:
- Cell phone repair and accessory shops
- Asian beauty boutiques and nail salons
- Eyeglass and sunglass shops
- Bubble tea shops
- Clothing shops that sell funny Asian clothes
- Clothing shops that sell counterfeit designer clothes
- Taipan Tours coach bus loading Asian seniors to Niagara Falls
- Asian candy or traditional herb stores
- Shops selling mini aquariums and baby turtles
- 2 food courts on the upper level, both with a decent selection of food and snacks
- Cute old Asian lady cleaning the foodcourt who EVERY single time I have been to P-mall for the last 20 years
If you want the best out of your visit, come with very low expectations. That and... take the TTC if you're visiting during busy weekends or holidays, especially Chinese New Year.
