Many empty shops. The supermarket and mall beside it are all torn down. I used to drive to TO for over 4 hours to shop there in early 2000s, but now, it is but a shadow of its former glory.
Many vacant shops, but still a few good ones. The food court is average. We tried a few stalls.
The Taiwanese chicken steak (gi pai) was OK compared the real ones in Taiwan. It was annoying they won't cut it for you - management on a power trip. The bento was average.
The dumplings were terrible. Deep fried, and then heated up made it very hard. My companion wanted to toss it. The pork and cabbage dumplings were not stuffed and had air pockets. Very little meat/cabbage.
Real Tea offering various meatballs with a milk tea was the worst pearl milk tea I have ever tasted.
I used to enjoy the mall and food court, but not anymore. We will go elsewhere next time. I hope they build something better and more businesses return. I am sure covid put many out of business, along with online shopping.
