Very interesting mall designed in the original Chinese versions of malls with plenty of small stores. The sales staff often stand by the entrances to greet passersby and to invite them in. Everyone is very polite here.
The food sold here is quite good though I was expecting better pricing. There’s plenty of parking including an underground parkade.
The bathrooms are a bit way out…or more appropriately, way under…in the P1 (parkade) level. Other than this awkward location, it’s quite a nice mall. Clean and interesting.

Pacific Mall is packed with shops, offering everything from clothes, food, snacks to unique finds. I even stumbled upon a Labubu doll, which was a fun surprise.

Been going here since I was a kid. Although it’s older, I’ve made some good friends here, this place is a good comfort spot, with great food, great people and overall a fun experience. It’s a great place to find authentic foods too.
When me and my friends don’t know what to do or need something we can always count on pacific mall to have a great time.
If you’re new to the area and haven’t checked this place out, please do, everyone should go at least once.
