I went to both Pacific Mall and this place and I preferred First Markham Place. It is set up like a traditional western mall, and there seems to be a little rhyme and reason to how things are laid out. They have a designated food court where the majority of the eateries are located and overall, I just found the mall to be cleaner. There are a smaller number of vendors here, but enough for this tourist to enjoy. On top of this, there are several interesting restaurants outside the mall that share the same parking lot. If I had to choose one over the other, this place wins.
