Hong Kong Market

This is the best chinese grocery store in Chicago. They have a wide selection of things, even live fish!

I really liked this place, but I just stopped by tonight and found out they are closing. Some of the refrigerators have already been removed and most items are 30% off. Very disappointing since this had become my favorite Chinese grocery store in Chinatown.

This is about as good as it gets for your Chinese markets. It’s not entirely too sterile, but it still has that Chinese market feel to it. It’s kind of more of a warehouse than a grocery store. But, they have pretty much anything you need. Oh, free parking and not overly crowded since it’s far from the square!

They have rearranged the space a bit and it’s better. A little more open feel to it and they even have a price scanner now (up with the times here).
They did hire more Mandarin speaking cashiers. I can understand a little, but mostly I’ll probably just nod.

Was looking for some sushi rice and some NON-​GMO* chicken and I am not sure about this place. I was able to find some good rice. The price was modest, but that chicken I brought. I had it sitting in the fridge for one day and it was a very bad quality of meat. Was spoiled by the time I got ready to cook it. I will get my rice and drinks from there, but anything else is a no go. Will be back again, but for dry items only.

I absolutely love this place!!! They have everything! They need bigger carts though lol! I no longer go to other Chinese stores after I discovered this one.

Complaining about their greens.
If you like to buy veggies once a week just like I do, this may NOT BE A GOOD PLACE for buying greens.
They r too easy rotten. I bought some bean sprouts the day before yesterday, and I put them in the refrigerator as soon as I back home and they all rot away this morning.
Worse is, they DO NOT have ANY sell by information on their package so I just thought they would be able to stay in the fridge as the bean sprouts I bought from other markets. But they are not.
Similar things happened with the okra I bought from their market.
Well I have concerned that may be they have less chemical stuffs in the veggies, which means they are more organic than other markets I used to shop, so I gave them 3 stars instead of less. But it could also because their stuffs r not so fresh. And by all means, they should have some sell by information on the package, isn’t it?
Besides, this is still a good place for shopping other Non easily rotten stuffs.

Whole duck, fresh durian, and a parking lot. There’s always things to discover in this larger market. If there is some obscure sauce, roast meats, frozen foods or snacks, this is a good place to go. The parking lot was quite busy Saturday evening, so be ready to do the car tango.

I was a big fan of the Peking duck and this market until I realized they had charged me separately for two ducks and two chickens when I got one of each… $ 17. I realized when I got home, went back, tried to explain with receipt, no resolution. The way it went down is not an honest mistake, the way it was handled was not an honest experience. I had been socializing this place… great food, but this was a bad deal, I’ll leave them behind and send to BBB. Be advised.

I always go to this grocery store because it is the closest from my house AND it has a free parking lot. I love the fact that they have a great selection of many food. They even have their small BBQ and roasted station where you can get your roasted duck or bbq pork and etc. The only thing they don’t have is fish that you order from the tank (live fish).
This is also THE best spot to get your hotpot ingredients. The best.

Chinese hot pot deluxe meal for two? Sounds fantastic. But do you know what’s more fantastic? You can make it $ 7.50/person. Just so you know that some Chinatown restaurants will charge you $ 20/​person even though it’s AYCE… worth it? I don’t think so. After all, you can’t beat the comfort of dining at home.
Hong Kong market can make your dream come true, especially when it comes to making a hot pot feast. My hubby made the first trip to get the meat (pork and beef), bok choy, string beans, tofu, and mushrooms. He got a TON of meat and everything came to $ 30. We made the first «basic» hot pot and gave him some suggestions for our next feast.
We went to Hong Kong Market together today and got an assortment of milk fish balls, bean sprouts, beef tripe, fried tofu, clams, and some other essentials. We also got the spicy soup base. The total this time was $ 30 as well. We didn’t finish everything; there’s enough to do this at least one (1) more time… not kidding you!
So what did I think about Hong Kong Market? Very reasonably priced; has lots of frozen essentials for Asian cooking; credit cards are welcome. If you don’t know Chinese as a language, you may have some difficult time figuring out some items you may not be familiar with. My hubby was the only Caucasian in the store… just in case you’re curious.
If you take public transportation, it’s ten (10) minutes walking distance from CTA Halsted Orange line. Once you exit, head north and stay on Archer and then turn onto Wallace until you see a big, factory-​like building. The entrance is within the parking lot.

Bought a Case of Logan Berries for $ 20.88 Today. Got it home and my wife washed it and a colony of Black Ants came out all over our kitchen.
When we tried to return it, they accused my wife of eating the berries.
I let them have it.
We bought another case before this and it had mold in it and they put up a big fight to swap it out.
The workers here are very rude.
I’m Very Very pissed off right now. So, I am going to leave it at this.

This is not a great place to shop if you are looking for produce. While they have a huge section of grocery and frozen foods, the produce section is extremely limited. I’ve had a hard time finding ginger and garlic the past couple times I’ve gone. GINGER. AND GARLIC.
Otherwise, great spot with delicious BBQ and wide variety of meats and fishes.

Hong Kong market is the place where I go to get my Asian groceries mainly for Chinese items. I find their stock to be pretty consistent and their customer service to be helpful. I have never had anybody being rude or mean to me at this store. I buy all my instant ramen here, meats and green veggies to stir-​fry. This place has a variety of Hot pot items, frozen dumplings and frozen treats too.
This place has its own parking lot and I don’t love how they spaced out the parking spots at time the parking in and out of this place can get crazy chaotic. My best suggestion is to go there early in the morning or mid afternoon when people are still at work or hiding in their homes. Honestly you don’t want to be here during some Chinese Holiday the place is usually jammed pack with customers fighting for BBQ pork or Roasted Pig. They have delicious roasted pig with crispy skin and BBQ pork is beautiful to look at and even better to eat.

I would say this is one of the better Chinese grocery markets. Place is clean, there is a private parking lot, and it has a large selection.
This is a good place to go for veggies, hot pot meats, meatballs, and basically any other Chinese groceries that you need.
They also have Chinese BBQ on premise. They’re BBQ pork is decent, the duck is good though. Can never leave here without getting something from the BBQ station.
Basically this is your one stop shop for any Chinese groceries and cooking accessories in Chicago. My parents from Michigan always makes me bring them here when they come visit.

Great deals and great stuff … Can’t beat that!!! Compared to other Asian markets this place has it all at a much better price. The selection and diversity is great and everything looks so fresh. This is my market place of choice from now on!!!

First time at this market and it’s a lot bigger than the other ones in Chinatown. Good selection of all the goods I’d be looking for at an asian grocery store. They also have a butcher with lots of meat and a big selection of anything you can think of. They also have roasted chicken and such. Great place to get hot pot stuff! Will definitely be coming back when I need groceries. A gem :)

Free parking lot? I’m listening…
All the Asian snacks/​cooking ingredients I’ve been craving? I’m putting on my shoes…
Aisles that fit more than one person at a time? I’m getting in the car…
Prices that beat all the other Chinatown markets? I’m on my way…
Free samples? I’m so there.

If you want to have your own hot pot at home, this is the place. Basic, plentiful and they have their own parking lot.
Plus, sometimes they offer samples!

I was in Chicago for two weeks visiting from Seattle and had a hankering for at home hot pot. My boyfriend & his crew (which who I was staying with) had never heard of hot pot or every really shopped in Chinatown — so I had to outreach to my only other friend from Chicago, and this was the place he recommended. Jackpot!
It’s not quite as big as I expected it to be, but it was bigger than any of the other Chinese grocery stores I went to in the area. They had almost everything I wanted for my perfect personalized hot pot, including very delicious cut meat (beef, lamb, & pork). I also enjoyed their dumpling bar (which I have never seen before). Basically it’s a bunch of frozen dumplings, beef balls, fish balls, ect. They sell by the pound so you can mix and match — though I don’t completely recommend because it was hard to tell what was what later. They also had a huge selection of hot pot base mixes, I went with my all time favorite — Little Sheep. yum yum!
They only had gas hot pots for sale here unfortunately (I was looking to buy an electric one, which I found elsewhere), but this will definitely be my first stop for Chinese groceries whenever I am in Chicago!
