I love going here and worth the hour drive to do all my grocery shopping especially because I can't eat first and it's clean. Fruits and vegetables are fresh, the meat quality is very fresh and worth your money and cheaper than other grocery stores. Their kimbap is bigger than other Asain grocery stores. The food court is amazing, the service is great, and everyone is very nice. I've tried everything there the oxtail soup is delicious I highly recommend and I also like the fact that you can get half black bean noodles, and the jambong ( looks spicy but it's very nice and not to overpowering) in one bowl that spilts both meals. They also have the different Korean corn dogs and wings are amazing. Lots of seating and defiantly wheelchair accessible. The main reason I go there is because I get my hair done (cut and color) and it's pricey and the service at the salon is always great!

Well worth the trip for decent priced Korean food. There are also other small restaurants inside where you can pick what you want to eat although the choices of Korean takeout are limited that day when we went. They had plentiful amounts of banchan and ramen, but limited amounts of certain Korean beverage. Will go again when given the chance.

"Happy world K-pop store" Nice amount of k-pop stuff. We came to Chicago for other kpop stores but found this place near our hotel. Not bad. Almost 5 stars. Only 4 because the amount of stuff was about 7x7. Add more k-pop and I will give you 5 stars. Recommend for kpop/k-pop lovers

If you're not willing to go all the way to the city for your Asian groceries this is a good alternative. They have a wider selection available for their store items due to their size. They have a food court that's open for business during the pandemic. It's a nice place to grab a bite to eat before or after you shop. They have some pretty decent sushi rolls. Try to take advantage if you see it. Not sure if they still do this but later in the day sometime during traffic hour they have half off their rolls to ensure they have only fresh rolls made from that day. I discovered this by accident. It's not bad for grocery sushi. The old couple there are pretty good about making it for you on the fly too. Personally would rather get my rolls from an Asian grocery store than a non-Asian grocery store no offense. The food court didn't look like it was enforcing social distancing too much so be careful in that area. If anything get your orders to go.

03/20/20 - Time to load up. I hear they're shutting down everything during this Coronavirus crisis. I got rice, fish (freezer) & some basic food items to tide us over. It's nice having a freezer

Got a chance to check this one out last weekend rather than our usual HMart run in Niles. While it may not be a glamorous from the inside out, I'll say they they got just about everything you need to stock up our Taiwanese Filipino household. While it's listed as an international market, I believe they specialize in Chinese, Filipino, and Korean market goods. Prices are quite nice and they don't charge for plastic bags (#winning just fyi we reuse grocery bags as trash bags). They got everything from kimchi, pre-marinaded meats, tocino, fresh packed longanisa, pre packaged ramen, asian vegtables, etc. Similar to HMart they do have some food vendors and small stores throughout selling other goods. But being early in the morning, not all were open. I guess depending if we feel like driving the extra min or two to get to this one, it will probably be one of our grocery options in the future. 'Til next time, cheers!
