    You can pay $2 cash w validated tickets from the restaurant before you return to the parking lot but not when you exit at the end.

    Parking in Chinatown is not easy and you have to find meters and pay through the app. So if you are going to drive to Chinatown, you should definitely park here as long as you're gonna eat at one of the participating restaurants that will validate your parking for $2 for three hours. Just make sure that you are eating at one of the restaurants listed on the list (see picture). There are two of these parking lots kind of adjacent to each other across the street from each other. He is right next to the Chicago Public library in Chinatown. Once you park here, you are able to walk to the new old Chinatown restaurant and store so it is convenient. It is also right next to the CTA station for Chinatown. It's just 1 block away.

    As of October 2018, get your ticket validated at the restaurant for a discount on pahking (Cantonese accent for emphasis)

    If you're wondering about the parking situation when coming to Chinatown (Southside), just know there are two big parking lots (North and South) located by the Redline tracks. It's Convenient, it's a good deal, it's generally safe during the day, but note the following: - there's a 3 hour limit for discounted parking, which you get when you have your ticket validated at your restaurant (must be on the participant list) - parking under the tracks or near bushes or trees may ruin your car wash due to the birds. So just be mindful of where you park and your time and it'll just cost $2.00 for 3 hours of parking. Xie, Xie - that makes it really easy to drive down here. Just a few thoughts, they need to repaint the lines, have more visible staff - roving both lots for safety. Note: I had one bad experience when someone was bumping my car and then came out and threatened me. So I called CPD, they're just on 18th street. Long story short - I got a check in the mail for the damage a few months later. I say all this to emphasize how a visible employee can make people behave. Other than that, I really love these parking lots. Park in the North lot if you want to primarily go into the little mall. I like the South lot because I like walking down Wentworth first, and then covering the little mall area - before coming back within the 3 hour time limit.

    Best parking for Chinatown Chicago. Check to see if your Restaurant validates. There is a list in both parking lots. One by the pedestrian exit on the south lot and one by the entrance on the north lot. Up to 3 hours for $2.00 with the validation!

    I had to pay $11 for 65' . No clear signs for entrance. And if you need smth there is no one to help you. High priced for location. Basically you could park around neighborhood without charge and same conditions. No safety at all.

    I want to give 1 or zero stars but heard 2 stars are worse. We used spotangels to find cheap…read moreparking downtown. It advertised $15. We got there and there's no sign displaying hourly rates itself. It's not until we go up a corkscrew ramp to get to a kiosk that it said $30 for two hours. For 0-2 minutes is $13. So either we bite the bullet or try to back down the windy ramp and hope no one was behind us... we bit the bullet thinking that if we went through and had to pay $13 and then pay for another parking spot which would've been more expensive than $30. We were parked no more than 2.5 hrs and pulled up to $62 due!!! Completely predatory, bate and switch false advertising. Do not park here. We pressed the assistance button and a lady said she was unable to waive the fee or reduce the rate because it was a posted rate. Posted where? I didn't see 62$ anywhere and we would've risked backing down the ramp if we did. She said the manager would come in a moment but failed to provide accurate timing of when he'd be there because "Tracy" if that's his name pulled up with his lunch 20 minutes later. In that time two cars passed both shocked at the rate they also needed to pay. We were met with very little empathy. They provided very poor communication. We literally just started our trip and didn't have time to checkout one of the landmarks on our list because of this ordeal. Awful service.

    TOTAL THIEVES!! I parked at this garage on 7.23.2026 pulling into the garage at 9.57.21AM. As I…read morerode down in the elevator, there was a prominently displayed sign, stating in part "$24.25 In by 10am up to 12 hours." I left the garage at 2.33.08PM for a total parking time of 4 hours and 36 minutes. All conditions of the sign to get the price of $24.25 were met so I submitted a request on 7.24.2026 for a refund. "Audrey" emailed asking for my receipts and other information which I provided. She then gave me a lot of song and dance and double-talk about accounts, rates, passes, and a MINT something, then passed me along to the location manager. Well apparently "Glenn" is too busy to email or just doesn't give a damn. It seems this company, garage, and Glenn have all never heard of a few little things called false advertising and bait-n-switch. RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
