Awesome restaurant hidden in the back of this market , but the best part is the fish , veggie , & frozen food selections for affordable prices . If you live on the Nside, you have to visit.

Chicago Tribune

In a shed in front of the market , a young couple sells dumplings : kimchi and noodles (slightly spicy ), pork and chives (hearty, mild) and red bean (sweet, purple, gigantic). Read more

First We Feast

This incredibly popular and crammed Korean market in Chicago is perhaps best known for its mind-boggling array of Korean products —it was even featured on an episode of Bizarre Foods. Read more

Fantastic produce and beautiful fish at really affordable prices . Awesome cafe and great home-goods section in the back. Parking can be a little rough in the awkwardly shaped lot.

Tracy Takacs

Good place for Kim Chee supplies and you can grab lunch there. Also make sure you try the dumplings from the stand outside!

Jessi Langsen

The kimchi dumpling from Joong boo's new stand is manageably spicy and seriously delicious. Pork/veg also good.

Serious Eats

You'll find loads of great Korean products here, including a diverse selection of produce. But don't forget about the tiny restaurant in the back.

Xinnie

It gets very crowded but I love coming to this place. Their mini “food court ” also has delicious and cheap food!

Best Asian grocery store in Chicago. The snack bar is great for the price, too.

Go to the snack shack and go crazy; there is nothing bad here. Homemade kimchi and kimchi bar are a must.

Get the red bean steam buns they sell right outside the market . Very large, soft, and filling.

Decent job in cramming lots of stuff in a small area. Barely any walking space and barely anything in there. Disappointing. Better off going to H Mart :/
