“This magical place is amazing! My opinion definitely worth the trip. I honestly don’t even think we got to half of the things to explore and do and we spent hours here. Is it pricey? Of course so bring money. The secret underground food court is basically just that, vender street food nothing fancy. A lot of tourists and it is a very busy place. Absolutely MANY walks of life, the diversity was something I wasn’t expecting. The K-pop store was super neat along with the Mini-So store. So many places to eat you will not go hungry! A lot of stores don’t have public bathrooms so drink wisely. Everyone was friendly and such a fabulous time. Don’t know about parking 🅿️ as we took an Uber from the Chicago OTC which was super easy!”
“Now this one as a really neat experience, I lov d the entire area!”
“Chicago’s Chinatown is fantastic for food and Chinese culture lovers. There are tons of Asian restaurants, dessert shops, hair salons, and gift shops. I could get my food here forever. Every restaurant that I have been to doesn’t make me disappointed. Everything is delicious including Cantonese dim sum, Szechuan hotpot, bbq, Korean fried chicken, pho, various noodles, boba, and sushi. There are also some Chinese live shows at the large square.”
“Great spot to watch the Chicago Marathon! So supportive, energetic and fun! Lots of bakeries and restaurants in the area.”
“There’s a ton of Asian food, products, drinks, and souvenirs you can see in the area and it’s honestly great to just walk around and window shop. I did find all the buildings while driving cool to look at as well. Make sure to come fairly early on Saturdays or Sundays especially since it gets packed really quickly in the parkling lot & restaurants if you’re planning on eating. There’s 2 floors and majority of the bigger restaurants are on the 1st floor and the snacky shops, drink shops, and souvenir shops are on the 2nd floor. They’ve also got all the Zodiac animals in the small plaza area right outside of the store areas. Overall, an interesting place to go whether you’re Chinese or not to just explore and try out some stuff.”
“Cool spot! Visiting from out of town. First time here and they have lots of variety of Chinese culture foods, and souvenirs”
