This is a nice huge Asian shopping center with great restaurants and a grocery store. They also have a big furniture store. They are split into 2 main centers. There's a food court on both sides. The west part has more places for eating with one of the best dim sum restaurants (The Pearl) in the GP / Arlington area.
We saw the lion dances during the 2020 Lunar New Year festivities. Very well done. They are constructing a space that looks like an outdoor plaza for gatherings on the west side parking lot.
Lots of great stuff and yummy unique food. The grocery store is always really cold, and unfortunately due to the quantity of meat and seafood it smells pretty strong throughout the store. Despite this we visit pretty frequently for the selection.
I've been coming every year for the Chinese New Year festival and it's totally worth the journey to come visit. I love the hustle and bustle of the crowds and food, reminds me so much of being back in Asia. This is usually a cash only event, but the food is so good. I love getting the freshly squeezed sugar cane juice with juicy, deliciously seasoned meat skewers.
There's a Hong Kong bakery here too which is where I got the sesame balls (3 flavors: red bean, mung/green bean & sesame with coconut) and the clear shrimp dumplings (bánh bột lọc), and bánh it tran.
There's a Hong Kong supermarket inside as well which is a convenient place to go grocery shopping, although I do it think the Asian supermarkets in the Plano-Richardson location are better.
This is a unique place to come to every year for a great celebration of a new year.
Side note- parking is a nightmare cause there's so many people, you've been warned.
This place is lively during festivals, special events, and weekends! To avoid crowds, visit the weekdays. There's two food courts offering delicious selections to choose from. One may find different cuisines from different parts of Asia. This is the kind of place kids hangs out after school or on the weekends. There's a self check out at Hong Kong Market. If you're looking for unhealthy options to gain weight and love Asian pastries and sweets, this is the place to grab your blissful yummy addiction. I regret nothing!
Restrooms could be better.
It was the first time to this Asian mall to see celebrtaiins of Chinese New Year.
There were number of food stalls in the mall and some music program was going on. These was an awesome Lion dance performed to celebrate New Year.
The food stalls had variety of food ranging from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese food.
The biggest issue in the mall was of burnt food and there was lot of smoke everywhere. Interestingly there were no fire alarms or sprinklers despite so much smoke.
For the first time in Dallas I saw so many shope selling Sugarcane juice. Probably somwthing to do with new year celebrations.
One of the attractions for me was the Hong Kong market store where we shopped for sometime.
Overall nice experience but the place was too far from Plano
