verbatim, from Google
“Tons of healthy choices! Wonderful salad bar. Very pleasant outdoor seating (as well as indoor)”

“For the amount of variety in cuisines, the food is consistently pretty decent. For the buffet I have a lot of issue with the fact that there are no scales to measure how much you're actually going to have to pay when you're done. Paninis are decent, they do the job if you're craving one, but otherwise I wouldn't bother.”
“My sisters and I are visiting from New York, a city known for its unbeatable food scene. Market Creations delivers exceptional, fresh, and satisfying dishes. Yesenia's banana bread pudding was simply irresistible. The chai tea was perfectly hot and flavorful. We truly appreciate how welcoming and delicious your establishment made us feel.”
“I’ve been eating at Market Creations Cafe in downtown Chicago for the past 8 months, and it has consistently been a great choice for lunch. The food is always fresh, tasty, and prepared with good quality ingredients.”
“I like this enegetic place. If you go to Willistower, try this restaurant. They have various menu and sushi!”
“Very tasty food. Great selection of different styles. Reasonably priced.”
“Very good food that is prepared or cooked on premises. In spite of the price (food is charged by weight), it is still a pretty good value (cost about $12 to $18) compared with other lunch options on weekdays. Recommended. Serving ends at 2:00 for the by order service, and 2:30 for the a la carte, serve yourself line. Very nice atmosphere and good staff. Plus there's a cocktail bar.”
