Pacific Mall is a fun place to be in Canada, located in Markham, Ontario, we had the chance to experience he place 3 years ago when we went to Canada to celebrate my husband & mother-in-law joint birthdays.
I love visiting my in-laws..been coming here since the 80's and they are fun to be with. They all initially brought us here & we've been scouring the place ever-since...
There is an endless array of different fashion booths, salons, shoes, bags, movie & CD, stores, Spa, Skin Clinics, different merchandise & above, all, All kinds of food...the Food Court is located on the 2nd Floor, a whole array of different kinds of cuisines...and mind you, all very affordable ...
My favorite was the Best Shrimp Dumpling Booth but I'll talk about that in a different review...Right across from that booth is this Korean/Japanese place called Axia... they have daily specials that will blow you away...We went there for dinner and had one of their specials called Beef Bulgogi Bento Box which includes, Seaweed Soup, Rice, Kim Chi, Salad for $9.99, (same item 6.99 for lunch) and added extra Shrimp Tempura (2 Pcs) and California Roll(3 [Pcs) for only $3.00...now that was a great deal...
Enjoyed the food, the staff(all dressed in black) & very pleasant & the place...Will I go there again...Absolutely!!! -

There are so many food options in the Pacific Mall/Market Village area, I don't know how we ended up here.
We arrived around 3pm, well after the lunch rush but service was still quite slow. Took the waitress about 15 min. before she appeared to take orders or answer questions.
I ordered the $6.99 daily special which was bim bim bap (Wednesday). it came with a miso soup and a choice of ice tea, warm tea or coffee. I chose the ice tea. The drink came in a small, child size plastic tumbler and was 90% full of ice so very little to drink.
The bim bim bap was a generous portion but did not come with any side dishes like kimchee or pickled radish. I did get a small bowl of hot sauce which did very little to help the bland flavour of the dish.
Others at my table ordered the dynamite rolls, cucumber rolls and hand rolls, all pretty standard fare. We also ordered the red bean drink which also came in the small tumbler cup but for the $3.99 price tag, I would expect it would be a bigger size.
For dessert, we decided to try the tempura cheesecake ($4.99). It was a decent size and came with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely an interesting dessert and great to share. I wouldn't want to eat a whole piece by myself.
An okay late lunch but I probably wouldn't return with all the other restaurant choices in this area. -

Had dinner here while visiting P-mall and I was quite satisfied with the food. I had the regular Bibimbap which was large enough for two and it also came with miso soup and side dishs. I am not an expert in Korean food but I felt it was delicious and authentic. There is also a stone pot version which is the same thing except its in a stone bowl rather than a normal porcelain bowl for $2 more, I didn't think it was necessary. My family also ordered the Tokyo Ramen. It was very... no almost way too flavorful... tasty but too much salt and msg? The ramen was hard as well.
Overall, I liked the setting of the restaurant. It's dark but the booth is well lighted and quite, which separates you from the usual noisy and crowded mall. The service is okay, it took them awhile for them to acknowledge us, take our orders and bring the bills even though the place is not busy. -

Axia Cafe is located in the food court area inside Pacific Mall. One of the Chinese owned and runned Japanese and Korean Restaurant in the area.
I found the interior quite dark since all the furnitures and deco are dark brown in colour and the lighting is pretty dim. There are some booth sitting in the middle of the restaurant and there are tables looking outside to the food court area of the mall.
The menu is a mixture of Korean and Japanese food. There is a daily lunch special from Monday to Friday for $6.99 that includes a drink. Since today is Friday, the special is Pork Bone Soup with rice which I decided on trying.. this same dish is $9.99 regular price without a drink.
There are no complimentary appeititzers with the lunch specials. My pork bone soup arrived quickly. There were 3 pieces of bones and a big potatoes. The soup base is really bland.. definitely not spicy. The rice is not the brown rice which is offered in the Korean restaurant, just plain white rice. For $6.99 it is ok.. but if I have to pay $9.99 for it, I will NOT be happy!
The service is quite good though. The waitstaffs kept walking around checking to see if the teacups were filled.
They accepts Visa, Mastercard and Interac.
