Market Village

Market Village has a long history, which I will skip. It has transformed to its current stage of «everyday shopping mall» status. A combination of quality grocery stores, everyday eateries, banks, watches and shoes repairs, health and beauty providers solidify the status. It is like a core infrastructure: nothing fancy yet it facilitates your everyday living. You from time to time have a reason to visit. As long as it evolves enough to service your needs, Market Village will continue to have its people traffics.

Great Mall. Their McDonald’s comes super clutch, and it’s right beside pacific mall where you can flock to for all your cell phone needs! Theirs a convenient supermarket on your right hand side as soon as you pass the entrance, so if your looking for Chinese groceries this is the place! It is quite small with it being only a 2 level mall, but the interior design is up to standard with what Markham folks expect!
The mall itself is relatively clean and even once you leave, their are still many tiny stores around it that maintain the cleanliness of the mall. Please do go if you have never been before, as it will be closing down soon with who knows what.

Good assortment of snacks and a nice place to stop by for little trinkets from time to time! The parking lot and general mall area (benches, food court, washrooms) definitely need some renovation, but this is definitely a great place to stop by if you’re going by Pacific Mall as well!

I was eating at one of the restaurants i think it was Phoenix noodle or something? It’s the food place with the guy that just calls you over assuming that you want to buy from there. The specials that they have? don’t believe them to the fullest cause yes its a good deal at first but they sell food thats way over due. I got a throat infection from eating their chicken special
Haven’t went back to market village to eat since

An old and dated Chinese mall. Parking is a huge pain in the arse on weekends. It has a bunch of Chinese specialty shops, a pretty good food court and some good restaurants, as well as a bunch of grocery stores. Everything is a little dirty and old looking.
They have a stage at the food court that they use for shows on special occasions. Other than that, it isn’t anything fancy but it has been around for years and was probably one of the original Asian malls in the area. Market Village is supposed to be replaced with an even larger mall, but I don’t think that’s happening anytime soon. So until then, this dinosaur won’t go down but won’t be getting any facelifts either.

Market Village is right across from Pacific Mall so my boyfriend, family, and I decided to visit and stop by.
The shops and mall here here looked similar to most of the malls I’ve been to already in Canada. They have lots of Asian/​Chinese shops as well as lots of egg waffle shops too.
We picked up some egg waffles from a shop inside Market Village and one of the egg waffles had chocolate in it and the other one was original. The egg waffles were extremely yummy and much more better than the ones in New York City. I crave for more.
We didn’t get to explore the whole Market Village — maybe next time we will.

If you want to have a car accident come here.
Old woman Chinese woman doesn’t understand what 4-​way stop means. Luckily I stopped and let her go even though I was first, otherwise she just passed through the stop sign, and I would have gotten hit.

Stay away from this mall, the management had no idea how to please the customer, basically they do not care, any problem to bring to their attention, all you get is attitude, do not have people’s skill, may be they should take a training course, probably have no education, that is their major problem.

have some decent food.

Oh, Market Village, you will be missed. You were the one who started the Chinese/​Asian mall phenomenon in the Markham/​Scarborough/​Richmond Hill area. I remember coming here before Pacific Mall was built and when the outside used to be a Cullen Gardens instead of the row of restaurants. I remember coming here before the parking nightmare. While this mall holds quite a bit of sentimental value to me, I consider it more of a «food» mall than an actual mall.
Like some people mention, the layout of Market Village is a lot less confusing than Pacific Mall (each time I’m in Pacific Mall, I take a picture of where I enter so I remember the intersection). Market Village has tons of food vendors and their food court has better Chinese food than some places in Mississauga. I also really like their dim sum place — Miu Gardens. It’s cheap.
The only thing I don’t like about Market Village (besides the parking situation on weekends) is the grocery stores. I find them dirty and antiquated and I’d much rather go to T&T or Foody Mart.
All in all, Market Village is still a great place to take tourists and family for food. I“ll be very sad when it’s officially torn down. You will be missed.

I love the store ICY House, they have more than one brand in the store, sort of like America’s Buckle. The beauty shops are OK, it is definitely convenient but you can get their stuff for less online. A lot of OK food places and my parent’s definitely like bartering at the home goods store. A unique mall. There is a McDonald’s here with sale deals all the time, the promo I like not available in USA is the $ 1 Iced coffee. Must be trying to attract business.

3.5 stars
Parking is nuts. Come during busy hour and see how quickly your patience runs out.
With that aside, I love their food court. Loads of cheap eats and everything’s delish. I love the bakeries here and all the cutsie Hello Kitty stores. Brings back happy memories of childhood visits to TO with my dad.
As much as I can’t stand the madness that occurs in this Chinese mall, it’s a must visit when I’m vacationing in Canada. If you’re looking for cutsie girly gifts for someone, hit One’s and Smart Maple.

The stores here aren’t that great, but I am giving three stars because of the food court. The food choices they have here are delicious and I love the bubble tea. My family and I always come here for lunch in the food court because we love Phoenix Noodle and Tasty House! I really miss the restaurant in the corner food court that sold rice and chicken in a hot stone bowl, but I believed it closed down since it wasn’t open both days we went!

Market Village is like that dinosaur that just won’t die.
My review of this is similar to Pacific Mall: Used to be good but has gone downhill. Both the supermarkets here were recently opened from what it was before (Food Fair and Golden), and both aren’t even half as good as before. Then again with three T&Ts within a 5 km radius these supermarkets are dying as well.
This mall, however, is a lot less hectic due to the more open concept. At least nobody is pushing and shoving here.

Still open eventhough its doomed for demolition. (supposed to have already been demolished but I guess the developers dont have enough$$$).
Pacific Mall’s forgotten elder sibling is the best way to decribe market village. Oldies like me will remember when it 1^st opened in the 90s, how it turned into a Asian mall, it even had a chinese movie theatre showing the latest movies from HKG.
Its glory days are gone and its impending demolition have caused some shops to close. The main draws are its restaurants, food court and supermarkets. Lots of parking available except on the weekends.

This place is pretty open in contrast to Pacific Mall next to it. There is a chinese grocery store in it where you can pick a vast variety of asian food. I bought some Pocari Sweat here.
There is also a food court, general store, and a bunch of other things I just can’t remember inside. Definitely check it out if you are in the neighbourhood.

I have been going to Market Village for ages! I am talking about over 15 years!
I prefer Market Village over Pacific Mall because I like the layout of the Mall a lot more. There are tons of skylights and the inside is not as crowded! There are not as many shops as Pacific Mall. however I enjoy eating at Sam’s Congee Delight (
), picking up dessert at Yan Woo (
) and do my grocery shopping.
When I arrive early Sunday afternoon, I never have problem in finding parking spots. Though I will avoid coming here during Statutory holidays when all the other malls are closed! This place can be a ZOO! Why people have to go walking around a mall during holidays?
BTW, Market Village will be torn down really soon… and be replaced by a Mega Chinese Mall!

If I lived there, I’d go to this indoor food market for lunch all the time. They have a dozen or more Chinese food vendors like a food court in a mall. Excecpt these serve the authentic items like real street vendor food carts in China. I went to the Dim Sum Dim Sum and had a hot sizzling bowl of rice with beef, vegtables and egg and it was fantastic. Dump a few spoon fulls of their homemade chili sauce on it and you are awake for the rest of the day. Inexpensive, filling but you won’t feel stuffed afterwards.

Meh, pretty much like Pacific Mall. Not worth going. I would go there for some food or titbits but I will not fight over parking with other rude people on a weekend to go to Market Village. There’s bootleg DVDs too if you do not support copyright laws. How can the police not close these businesses down? It’s pretty obvious they are doing this illegally. If they want to do this in Hong Kong or wherever, fine but why are they bringing all these to Canada? Sigh.

Hell YEA! Finally Unilocal for Cananda!
This is one of the mall we’ve been to after driving 9 hours from Columbus, Ohio. It’s located next to the Pacific Mall. There’s a lot of parking spaces. The outside of this mall looks like a block of old-​fashioned row houses. However, the interior is similar to typical western style mall. It’s clean, but a little dim.
Once inside, you’ll see 99% Chinese shopping around. Yes, most of them speak Cantonese because they’re mostly from Canton or Hong Kong. So… screw you all Mandarin speaking people =P
