Parkway Mall

Asia Delight in Parkway Mall is the worst Chinese Food on the the planet, not joking. the food is always the same, no specials. The cook is gross and greasy looking. Please don’t eat here, even if you’re starving. If you like bony, cartilagey, greasy over cooked, or under cooked, depending on the day, then risk it.

I came here for the very first time — to go to Parkway Mall mobilicity for the $ 25/​month data plan because I always here about this mall on the radio.
Anyways, parking was pretty full here. The first thing I recognize is the beautiful METRO located in the mall (well more off to the side actually). The mall itself is relatively old, with a few bakeries and shops inside such as Home Hardware, Payless, mobile phone booths in the small middle booths in the mall and small stores. One of the stores that caught my eye was a tiny booth inside the mall where ladies were selling their knitted products. I thought it was super adorable, probably cause Christmas is arriving as well.
The food court has like two places you can eat from and a bubble tea shop. There’s also a public library here as well. I think Parkway Mall is located fairly close to a high school because I saw a lot of highschool students in uniforms walking around here during after school hours.
In the same plaza, there’s a McDonalds and an LCBO.

The food court is atrocious. There is a greek place that is maybe 2 stars at best, but the worst chinese food place I’ve been to is located here.
The place is called Asian Delight, and their prices seem reasonable at first glance. Their most expensive combo is 2-​items + rice or noodle for about $ 8 tax incl. Reasonable right?
So I decided I didnt want any rice. So I ordered a large portion of sweet and sour pork and some other type of meat (I forgot the name). So the container was actually smaller than their regular combo container, and they charged me close to $ 14!
They obviously don’t know how much to charge, especially when a lot of the meat was bones and cartilage. Plus, the meat was way too sweet for my liking. I’m willing to try a hole-​in-​the-​wall anytime, as long as the food is reasonable. You can plug a stick of dynamite in this hole-​in-​the-​wall and forget about it.

I only come here if I’m going to see my doctor upstairs. They have a terrible food court unfortunately. They just have smaller no frills kind of stores. There is a TD, shoppers, and Metro which redeems it. I also like their health and nutrition store. They have a library in the mall and a couple stores with fancy dresses but not expensive. Definitely not a mall to go out of your way for.

Parkway mall is an ideal place to go, if you want to go shopping at the dollar store, buy jewelry, shop for low cost bags, purses and clothing, because guess and guess accessories are way out of your budget. The best thing about Parkway Mall, is that it’s not nearly as crowded as all the other much bigger and more expensive Malls.

Came here for a Bank, Shoppers D.M. and a brunch run. Not too busy if you come here early, especially in regards to parking, they’re putting in a big liquor store so the construction is hampering finding a spot for now. But hey I’ll bite the bullet for a larger selection of spirits. The mall has been expanding over the years so convenience has increased substantially, it’s not a major shopping stop but it has everything selection wise if you take a look around.

I live near this mall, and it’s the only one within walking distance. Thankfully, I have access to a car, because this mall is terrible.
I visit this mall quite often, and stores open and close on a monthly business thanks to the lack of business. It had 3 banks in the vicinity (TD and CIBC in the mall, Scotia right outside), which is a plus. The only other useful store in my opinion is Home Hardware, because Metro is an expensive place to grocery shop. The rest of the stores in the mall are quite small, and in my opinion completely useless, with the exception of a couple.
There’s barely a food court; a nice pizza place, some Greek food, and one Chinese place. A Subway, Tim Hortons, and McDonalds right outside the mall. I suppose it’s a nice place to have if you need a quick bite to eat, or just in case it’s raining badly and you need some shelter. Other than that, I really wouldn’t bother with this place.

Driving on Ellesmere I found this mall by accident. It had the pastel pink exterior of a 1980s renovation. I thought to myself that I hadnt updated my Unilocal list of sad malls in a while and quickly jerked the steering wheel to enter the parking lot.
Once I had a look around I realized I had been to this mall before. There is a branch of Fitness One there which I used once. And I remembered the library. As I have mentioned in other reviews, I love malls with library branches in them. I fondly recall the library in Yorkdale Mall from my childhood.
There is the usual assortment of B grade shops you can expect from a sad mall. Nothing stood out particularly except for a well stocked health food store. There is a bakery with various asian buns, but no food court. There was a hurricane simulator though!

It‘s a love-​hate relationship. There are lots of good things about the mall… the health food store, the early years centre, the library etc but at the same time, I hate it…

Parkway Mall is an A-​OK neighbourhood mall. Everything that local residents need for their everyday life
My Check List:
— Banks: TD, CIBC, Scotia
— Grocery: Metro

BTW, Parkway Mall does have a Credit Counselor. but if one going to hang out at Parkway Mall, I don’t think they need that? There are no where you can really blow $ 300 on a pair of shoes or $ 2000 on a bag?
Not surprising on a rainy day, a lot of seniors used Parkway Mall as a hang out. They don’t have Starbucks but Second Cup is not bad if they want to order a cappuccino?
