This place is total chaos and disorganisation with lots of dodgy looking people loitering around the parking area and entrances. Big boxes of stock are piled in the middle of the walkways making it difficult to walk and browse, and you also have to watch where you're going or risk getting mowed down by some over laden trolley.
Majority of the shop owners are disinterested and have their faces buried in their phones whilst their staff shuffle pointlessly around the shop shouting at the top of their voices to each other.

The staff is friendly though. Passages are dirty and some have limited maneuvering space.
Good place to visit if you enjoy mazes and have loads of time on your hands to navigate the passages. Plenty of parking available outside. Security at the gate is friendly...
Read moreCape Grand China Mall is what it sounds like, a bulk purchasing haven. They have lots of good stuff here, if you have time to browse and be patient. The asian grocer is the best in CT, lowest prices and so many options. Their fresh tofu is delicious and silky and all the greens are bomb. The wholesale beauty store is insane too - so many good finds.
I just had to write this review as I read the others and it sounds like a whole load of karens complaining about foreigners. If you are not racist you will enjoy this lil hub, if you are a kind human with some self awareness and a love for asian food, gimmicks, gear and beauty products Cape Grand China will be a...
