Located at the intersection of Leslie and Highway 7 which is busy and parking can become problematic despite a parking lot is available on site. I came here for Dim Sum with my family and to attain some Asian baked goodies from a bakery. This mall is not design for youngsters to gather on weekends or after-school social.

When I was a kid I remember going to Fairview Mall. Back then you had Sears and Hudsons Bay as…read moreflagship stores. Now in 2025, both big box stores are no longer in business. Fairview Mall has gone through an evolution and reimagination of the retail space. I love how they redeveloped the space where Sears used to be. The space is now converted into a mini Chinatown spot with Saint Germain bakery, bubble tea shop, Hong Kong style cafe, Thai restaurant, and a T&T Supermarket. On the top floor there's a Marshalls / Homesense big box store. I noticed the Zara store has been renovated and now occupying 2 levels. The store looks immaculate and love the modern layout and self serve checkout kiosks to make shopping faster for DIY people. I managed to do some shopping at H&M and got some great deals in the sale section. I also bought some groceries like green beans, lychee, bbq pork buns, and curry beef pastries. It's not very often you can go to regional mall and be able to buy clothes, groceries, and bakery goods. It was a pleasant experience. I look forward to the transformation of the vacant Hudson Bay space. Oh did I mention they have a Playdium arcade in the old Sportchek space beside the Cineplex theatre.

My rating is 3.5 stars…read more I like dropping by Golden Court Plaza for a couple of reasons: - Millstone Rice Rolls - Cha Miao The former has curry fish ball, beef brisket, and mushroom rice rolls that are excellent. They are the best rice rolls that I have ever have. A couple of doors down from Millstone is Cha Miao. I love the bubble tea at this store, especially the citrus ones where staff pound them down to deliver fresh fruit tea with all the toppings. Both are located at Golden Court Plaza. I just learned of its name yesterday because I'm horrible figuring out plaza names. However, I am great knowing where stores are. The downside of this plaza is the volume of cars. I like that it's designed as a one-way flow. The problem is that you have folks parked off to the side illegally, which causes traffic flow issues. You then have folks waiting for a parking spot and it gets ugly. All this congestion happens in front of all businesses. What many shoppers don't know is that there is free underground parking. There is a three-hour limit. The catch is to not enter the plaza where the surface parking is to get to the underground entrance. There's another entrance behind the main entrance. It looks like a shady backroad to death, but once you get to the end, you make a sharp left turn down to the indoor parking lot. My other suggestion is that if you have mobility issues, you want surface parking. I only found a set of stairs to use to get between the two floors. Maybe I missed the elevator, but it wasn't clear to me that there was one. I was pleased that I got underground parking. Last night, I visited my two favourite businesses and left once I had picked up my orders. I'd like to explore more businesses in this plaza. The three-hour limit helps. I'll try again when it's not dinnertime on a Saturday evening. I wouldn't know how to improve the surface parking and the congestion in this plaza. I do like the businesses that I frequent often, so I'll be back. (409)

You'll find a great café, two…read morebakeries, a butcher, a fishmonger, sushi, a solid Japanese grocery store, yakitori, and plenty of other specialty shops all in one compact plaza. I had a great time browsing, but I couldn't help feeling supremely jealous of the locals filling shopping baskets with goodies to take home, something I simply couldn't do as a visitor staying in a hotel. Instead, I had to settle for wandering the aisles and stalls imagining what I'd cook if I had a kitchen. Whether you're passionate about Japanese culture or just a food nerd like me, J-Town is an incredibly fun place to spend an hour or two. It's the kind of place you'll wish you had in your own neighborhood.

Our preferred vendors included QQ Noodle King, Go Curry, Chloe's Convenience, Hi Anna's Basket, Shark's Fin City, and Prairie Lamb Kabob. This mall has something for everyone. Check them out!

Woodside Centre is a shopping plaza across from First Markham Place, on Highway 7, just east of…read moreWoodbine Avenue, on the south side. I rarely call this place by its official name. It can be mistaken for Woodside Square, which is the shopping mall at McCowan and Finch in Scarborough. I used to come here often. Gone are stores such as Roots, Danier, Michaels, and Club Monaco. These days, I shop at Winners, Staples, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Chapters, and Longo's. I like the Kelsey's Roadhouse when I feel like wings and things. There's also a Home Depot and Winco Supermarket. I haven't been to either store. One of these days, I'll give them a try. There is lots of parking. A few years ago, a number of electric charging stations were set up across from Kelsey's. Often, you'll see folks sitting in their cars, waiting for them to charge up before they take off. The Chapters no longer has a Starbucks. It's a shame because I loved grabbing a drink and casually perusing the store while sipping. If you do need your Starbucks fix, you can get it at Longo's. You can earn double the points by scanning both your Starbucks rewards and Longo's barcodes. The old Michaels store is now a Joe Fresh outlet. I still need to drop by and see what goodies I can get. It's a decent plaza. I hope that the turnovers have stopped! (473)

It's situated on the northeast corner of Warden Avenue and Highway 7, across the street from Markham Civic Centre. My first visit here was in grade 12. I wanted to go to my first major concert. Madonna was doing a couple of shows at SkyDome. I'm dating myself and I don't care. I needed a wristband to get my place in line, well before doing anything online was a thing. My best bet was getting one at a music store at Markham Town Square. My dad drove us up here. We lived in the Beaches. My mom wrote a letter to show my teachers that I needed to be excused from their classes. Thank goodness I was a good kid and student to swing this arrangement! In short, I got my tickets. I paid for them, even though my dad insisted on paying. I was elated. I made it back to school in time for my French class. I couldn't stop smiling. Markham Town Square will always have a special place in my heart. Little did I know that I'd become a Markhamite and visit this place regularly years later. This music store is long gone. There used to be a Chinese restaurant between the No Frills, and Town Gift & Postal Service. It has changed names over the years. It's the only store that is vacant these days. No Frills is your grocery store. I never have any problems finding what I need here. The selection is decent and I've never been disappointed shopping here. Town Gift & Postal Service is a non-descript store that you wouldn't expect to be a post office. People often hit Shoppers Drug Mart and are disappointed to learn that it doesn't have a post office. Town Gift & Postal Service is your post office. The folks who run this store are nice. It does get busy thanks to the post office part of this business. There used to be a Mr. Sub. It's gone. I was sad. I'm happy to see that a Korean eatery is about to take its place. I probably frequent these businesses the most: - Shoppers Drug Mart - Felix & Norton Cookies - McDonald's This Shoppers is convenient to get to. If I need to grab something quickly, I can here. There's lots of parking that it's rarely an issue. Felix & Norton Cookies are amazing. I love their gourmet cookies, perhaps more than I should. It's the butter that makes them so decadent. It has Pusheen products, which is a bonus. I like this McDonald's. Staff are friendly and I have yet to have anyone mess up my order. I tend to hit the drive-thru. This plaza has another drive-thru, which makes it stand out. You rarely see a couple of drive-thrus in close proximity, but you do here. The other is Scotiabank. The lane is tighter than McD's, but it works. For the longest time, the store where Canada Computers & Electronics is was vacant. It used to be a Future Shop. When it shuttered for good, it was empty for years, with a brief stint as a returning office for one of the elections. I love Canada Computers. It brings out the geeky side of me. There is a lot to look at and prices are pretty good. Next to Canada Computers is Honeymoon Dessert. It was previously a Menchie's. It's a nice addition to get your dessert fix, including really good fruit teas. I have frequented Cora's, Teriyaki Experience, and Pizza Pizza over the years. All have been at this plaza for years. I still haven't visited all businesses. Wonton Hut comes to mind. One of these days, I'll cave and place an order. This plaza has everything I need. Food. Burgers. Cookies. Computer accessories. Dessert. It suits my needs nicely. (172)
