Oriental Centre — Attraction in Toronto

I'm rating this place based on accessibility and only 2 shops in the entire mall. This is a very VERY very VERY poor version of Pacific Mall. It's great to pop in and out without worrying about struggling to park.

A man who fixes electronics has a shop there who's pretty good for fixing random things like smart phones and tablets. His shop isn't filled with phone covers/cases, he's more on the electronic side. You can tell he has an electronics background.

Foodcourt on the second floor but it's horrible Filipino food EXCEPT for one little chinese takeout place in the very corner. This Chinese place in the very corner has 2 "the best in the GTA" items on their menu.

First, dim sum. 5 dollars per dish. 20 minute wait. GHETTO eating environment. Downtown Chinatown ghetto. On one trip, I ate as a bird who somehow got in flew around inside the mall while a big group of Chinese seniors watched. DESPITE all of that, the BEST dim sum in Canada. I've been eating dim sum ALL OVER for my entire life. The only place that even comes close is that uber expensive place on HWY 7.

Secondly, my best kept secret. This place has the best HK milk tea in the world. The girl that mans the register isn't super friendly but she know show to mix a milk tea. Seriously, the MOST authentic and flavourful tea I've ever drank and this is coming from a guy who'll try a milk tea, anywhere, anyhow, anyform. The best. I mean, it's so good, I worry that it'll close one day because the entire mall is so f'n ghetto.

So that's it. Quick in and out electronics and dim sum / milk tea mall. If you like these foods, I guarantee you, this place will blow your mind. Once again, don't expect service with a smile and no other items on the list are recommended (fried rice, noodles etc). Just the dim sum and milk tea. So for one person, 3 dim sum dishes and 2 teas will set you back about 25 bucks. Really over priced for the environment but you won't care after you've tasted it. Funnily, only the dim sum is over priced. Everything else is...

Well actually it is a nice medium small size oriental center. There is totally three floor .the main floor are still kind of busy. But the second floor need to make the food court cone alive again.there is almost nothing compare with the first time they open the center .For a successful chinese mall a great food court n a good big restaurant is the best attraction for Chinese customers but both had failed n close down. Third floor is all for service business like accountants law firms..etc they had their own customers so they won't care too much about the traffic down in other two floor... One suggestion .they need to change the light n brighten up the whole place..it give me a feeling of a creepy place kind of dark not comfortable feel....like in a furnel house....if you ever pass by this area no harm to come in have a quick visit. But dont make a special trip to come here unless you know the shops you...

An Asian shopping mall that's kind of dead. Older people seem to like to come here. It feels like the majority of stores here are Chinese herbal stores (there's like 6 of them that I counted). Mostly filled with Chinese/Asian stores.

The hallways are wide. There's the main area where a stage sits. There seems to be 3 floors, with escalators going up and down. The washrooms are tucked away in a small hallway. The washrooms are clean and rather spacious.

Regarding the 6 Chinese herbal goods stores, it's great for the customers to shop, since each store will try to get more customers in by being cheaper than the other... It's bad for the stores since they're fighting for customers and killing each other with their prices.

Other than that, they blast the air conditioning here. It's nice and cool...
