What a quirky, odd little shop…read more The store has a ton of stuff. Front to back, floor to ceiling there are items for purchase everywhere. The price points seem reasonable too. My friend was looking for specific decor for a room she was decorating so we came here. She found exactly what she was looking for so it's all good. When I first walked in I noticed how cold it was inside. It seemed like they were not using their heat or had the thermostat turned waaaay low. I heard a greeting but saw no one. I eventually saw a guy dressed in a winter coat sitting on a low chair behind the counter. He continued to stay focused on his IPad and did not interact with us except to take payment. There were stacks of boxes, old newspapers and a variety of nonsense piled in disarray. The glass shelves were full of dust and the area with bamboo plants were covered in dried water/dirt stains. It was fascinating to see actually. Overall, my friend found some great things. Don't go there for the atmosphere or service. You might be disappointed. But do pay them a visit if you want to pick up a few little items at a decent price.

Gifts R them, I guess. This shop sells so much random stuff. It's all supposed to be gifted because…read morenobody really needs any of this stuff. Have you ever been running low on Buddha statues, or metallic plastic cats that wave their paws? Have you ever said, jeeze, what I need in my life is a pile of fake Chinese money I can buy and make it rain?! There's just random. I've heard that you're never supposed to buy jade for yourself, it's supposed to be gifted? I think this is a good place to do that. Everything here is made in China. The prices are cheap, and this store is SO packed with merchandise, all cheaply built stuff from China, I feel like I'm going to break something in here, and have to buy a China "Ming dynasty" vase or something. The staff was nice, and it is a cool Chinese place to check out in Chinatown. When I went, they were having a sale. It's a picturesque store, right down the way from the Chinatown archway, and all the hustle and bustle around this shop is in Chinese!

As we waited for our table at Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings, we decided to walk around outside and by chance we literally stumbled upon an old-school car show. So..naturally, we joined the crowd and suddenly found ourselves weaving between classic exotic cars in the middle of Chinatown. See pictures for an old chevy with a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the backseat. Yup, you read that right. A lot of parking around the area and super easy to get to by train if needed.

The gateways and storefronts and courtyard have beautiful ornate Imperial-based designs. On the plaza, you'll find some classic lions and a wonderful set of sculptures from Xiamen representing the Chinese Zodiac. We've been to several good restaurants here, and a nice candy shop, too. Oh, one more thing. Those are not $100 bills scattered here and there. It's very eye-catching advertising! Haha! But I'll take off one star, sorry, because of a lack of restful seating. One of us had some back pain the day we visited, (Nov 2025), and though there were a few low square individual seats scattered around, there were no benches or chairs that we could find with any kind of arms or backs that one could lean on to make it easier to get up again.

I was looking for a new bear's shirt (yes, I'm a loyal bears fan). This store had so many to choose from that I ended up buying two because I couldn't decide. I love the quality of the shirts I purchased. They are not just your average cheap souvenir type of shirts which I'm thankful for. They should last quite some time. They have all the Chicago major league fan gear. They also have a pretty big clearance section in the back. They are more than just a sports clothing store. They have a variety of Chicago souvenirs inside also. If you need anything Chicago related this is the store to go to.

I used to watch a lot of mafia/mobster movies and read books on them so of course I needed an Al Capone souvenir. They had a small rubber figurine of him in a shot glass and another larger bobblehead. Had the figurine not been glued into the shot glass or cheaper I might have gone that route due to size. But the bobblehead was voted in by the wife and dad so it came home with me and I am a fan. Now it can sit on our display shelf with our penguin figurine collection, and the birdies can be intimidated by -- "Big Al".

I came here about 2 months ago when I was visiting my friends and I loved the shop. The staff was…read morevery nice and even talked to me and hyped up things I was trying. I only got a sweatshirt tbe first day I was there I came back right before I left Chicago to get souvenirs for friends and family. Both times staff informed me that all things were final sale and unable to be exchanged, which I appreciated because it allowed me to decide if what I was getting was worth it. The clothing items I got were true to size and the quality was good. The second time I was there had different staff but they were just as friendly as when I first went in. Everything was "expensive", but it was about the same price as any souvenir shop you'd go to anywhere. Overall great souvenir shop!

Everything is laid out pretty neatly, there are some 'sale' items in the front as well. However, most of the items expect to pay a premium for - because they are branded merchandise. Checkout was pretty fast and the place was air conditioned, so it's always a regular stop when we are in walking through Chinatown. Worth stopping in!

If you wanna look like you've been to China with a bunch of Chinese stuff made in China, this is the place. They do have things relating to Chicago, but a lot of the stuff is just Chinese stuff that'll sit around your house gathering dust. Think lots of little statues, vases, cups, bowls. I feel like a bull in a China shop in here- all the aisles and merchandise is so jammed close together, that every time I turn around, I feel like I'm going to break some fragile jade egg or some bamboo vase. They also sell Chinese clothing, which all seemed a bit small for my tastes. But it's pretty. It's a shop in a nice location- it's sort of in the souvenir district of Chinatown- there's a few cool other similar shops on the same street, right in front of the Chinese archway that leads you into Chinatown.

They sell calligraphy pens but I wasn't able to write this, though I tried for a full 5 minutes. The staff is helpful, and patient. There's quite a bit of stuff crammed into a small space, and it ranges from the very cheap (and looks very cheap) the to the inexpensive (and doesn't look cheap) souvenirs to nice decorations. It's too tight with too many fragile items to bring in younger children (unless they are very well behaved) but there are lots of toys to give to children as gifts. Not surprisingly it's all made in China, including the Japanese sake serving sets which are quite a bit cheaper than you would find elsewhere. It's really fun to shop here, and you can't leave Chinatown with out some sort of souvenir, right?
