Cathay Living

Often stop in here to pick up something handy - very friendly owners!

Fun little souvenir shop. Good prices.

Sweet shop for picking up unusual and interesting souvenirs. Excellent selection of fairly priced authentic art, paper goods, books, toys, stationery items, paper lamps, and so much more. I purchased most of my gifts here to take home from my trip.

Be careful coming here. The lady scrams you even for two penny. She has horrible attitude and really doesn’t care if she has business or not.

Cute little touristy knick knacks. My wife loved it. Prices are priced for tourists. The lady in the store was friendly enough to greet us, and to let us explore store withouy any overwhelming supervision.

Interesting selection of less than usual gifts and curios.

Nice shop with lots to look at it !

Absolutely loved this little shop in China town!A huge abundance of gifts and so many neat one of a kind things to see.For me the favorite was bonsai stuff. Staff was wonderful!

Watch out! Charged me over 50 percent tax! Tax in BC is 12 percent. He argued and make a big scene, everyone left the store. Tourists please be aware!

Was looking for a couple of items. Unfortunately doesn't have a black parasol to match my black cheongsam but they at least had a black fan albeit a bit pricey. The guy at the till is a bit condescending, speaking to me as if I don't understand how to open or use traditional paper fans properly.We conversed to each other in Cantonese and although I may be born in Victoria, it doesn't mean I'm completely ignorant of basic traditional customs and use. Honestly, I could've pushed for a bit of a discount but didn't bother because I just wanted to end conversation and leave. Somewhat unlikely to repeat business unless they carry stock I really need. The black fan though was really cute and I hope to get many uses with my dress.
