This is a much smaller space than I was expecting, but it had a good amount of international items…read more We came by looking for specific Filipino condiments, and was happy to find bagoong (shrimp paste). It was about $4.00 cheaper compared to another Asian market. They also had various Filipino frozen goods: tocino, longganisa, lumpia, and frozen meals. I was impressed by their Japanese goods section, but I didn't need anything at the time! The parking lot is small, so just be mindful getting in and out.

Jay's international market is the go-to place in S City to buy many international foods and produce…read morethat you're looking for. I have been there several times for produce, European foods, and international snacks. I like that the store is laid out by country, which makes it so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Some of the male workers that I have encountered have always been really helpful in helping me find what I'm looking for or some type of substitute.

If you go up and down every aisle, it's like a trip around the world…read more As you shop, you will find items that you didn't know you needed. Also, don't be afraid to ask employees questions, they'll be happy to assist. My last visit, I was with a friend who was shopping to make spring rolls and he got assistance from a little old Vietnamese lady who was a customer herself. Listening to her explain all the detailed steps made us both smile. Be smart when shopping the canned goods, some items can be more expensive. However, the fresh vegetables are always a good value. The meat department makes me cringe, but I know that is just me being quirky. My friend gives it a thumbs up. Customer service is okay, nothing outstanding and nothing bad. It's just okay. The cashiers get you out the door in an orderly way.

I was happy to find some fantastic canned cold brews as well, so I was covered with my "coffee before the real coffee" the next morning. I might have a problem. The vibe in here is good when you walk in, a little weird towards the back. I'm not sure if part of the back was open or storage, it got darker and more isolated. There were tons of other snacks and a lot of Asian specialty items as well. Nice to have a store anchored in a busier area and near the university. I will definitely pop in here again if staying in the Loop.

I reviewed United Provisions 10 years ago? And I gave it only 4 stars? Must be remedied!…read moreI now eat more international foods, though I'm still vegetarian and that limits me. United Provisions has turned into decent place to stop for a quick snack. When I stopped by last week, I bought 2 tornado relief fundraising mystery snack boxes. What a nice idea and so nicely presented. My cat enjoyed sitting on the wrapping paper. I've only unboxed one (the other is a gift). I don't want to spoil the mystery here, but I will add that I was a little disappointed that there were no chips or crackers in the box. However, the box value seemed quite good.

This Asian Supermarket is huge. It looks well kept. You can find practically everything that you…read morewant or need here. They have a vast selection of wonderful things. They have some great value too. They have stores within the market. You can buy sushi and other foods. There are sections where you can find Indian, Pakistan, Middle Eastern, and Halal meats. They have fresh fish and produce. Customer service was good. I did ask for some help. The guy helped me but didn't speak much English. Therefore, he didn't understand everything that I was asking. There was are that had some games. The parking lot plenty of parking.

This Asian market was recommended to us by other Yelpies, so we decided to come and explore it…read more There is a huge free parking lot right out front. In addition to the huge market area inside, there is a bubble tea stand, hot food with seating, and some skincare products across the front wall. The market itself is kind of amazing. There was an extensive selection of fresh Asian fruits, vegetables and herbs at great prices. Once we got into the aisles, there was, again, a huge selection - some of our favorite things were all the bottled sodas/coffees, the mochis and all the vinegars/sauces. In the back there is fish area that has live crabs, lobsters and even eels in addition to fresh fish. There is also a halal meat counter. We saw packages of frozen scallops, frozen crab legs and ground lamb that we plan to come back and try. I can't wait to return.

The produce section took my breath away and had me photographing left and right. So many different kinds of peppers! The vast warehouse has a wealth of international products and more than just groceries. A back corner has hot meals, but the line was so long around noon that I'll have to try it the next time. We will drop by anytime we're in the neighborhood if only for the sensory experience!

I was surprised to find out it is not a restaurant, but a grocery store that has a small area on the side that makes and serves food. I placed my order and waited. They had a rather limited menu, but I have to say, what they did, they did well. My kebab was good, even if it looked different than I expected. It was essentially a large sandwich. But it was made with the meat shaved off the spit as it rotates, and that was good. I didnt have to wait long for it either. I did not see a place to eat it there, so we got ours to go. I didnt get a chance to look around the store, but would like to next time I go. I imagine they have a lot of unusual food items from other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. I would go here again, especially now that I have a better idea what to expect.
