| - No, not that good, maybe the food court, but even then... Prices are not that low as some might imagine. First of all the quality of the goods sold is low. A knock-off is a knock-off even though it has a piece of real fox fur and a Canda goose label on it. Is it worth a couple of hundred dollars? Some think it is. I don't.
Second there are other Asian plazas, malls around GTA that offer lower pricing on the same goods. The reason to go to Pacific Mall I find is to just hang out: bubble tea and food. Ok there is a great selection of phone cases but I can get them in Mississauga twice cheaper. The vendors are smart enough to keep the prices high because of the traffic. I can only imagine the margins they take :) I walked into a jade store, the price must have tripled in a second,especially for me, often there are no tags, you have to ask. As far as the food court goes, I stick to the dumpling/noodle place. You can recognize it easily by the loud sounds the hand-pulled noodles produce when they hit the table. That guy is pretty strong.
As far as parking goes, arrive early, that's all I can say.
For Collectors: If you go to the Market place. There is a porcelain vase shop on the alley behind the stage. Among random stuff you will find some authentic porcelain vases there, with the artists' signatures. A few of those are stunning.
