    I stopped by on Tuesday August 27, 2019 after attending Tuesdays on The Kern Terrace featuring Isaiah Collier and the Chosen Few Live Jazz Concert! I entered the MCA Store through the interior entryway on the interior of the museum-therefore it was considered the 2nd Floor! Amazing Offerings: 2nd Floor: There is a huge table area dedicated to "local" Chicago Art and Foodie and History books.....so exciting! There are adorable children's and adult art books, notecards, toys, and my favorite thing for babies and toddlers were the adorable llama knit slippers and plus bunny rabbits with long ears. ART SKATEBOARDS DECORATE THE STAIRWAY DESCENDING FROM THE 2nd to 1st FLOOR....really creative and unique! 1st Floor: Jewelry Kitchen and Hosting Supplies T-Shirts, Bags, Clothing Artsy Gadgets Unique Art Plates and MCA Gear.

    With holiday shopping just around the corner it's helpful to have a few 'special' gifts in one's kit-bag. The MCA store, located adjacent to the Museum of Contemporary Art, carries a wide selection of intersting items including fun stuff for the kiddies. There's a book store upstairs, too. Hours: Tuesday 10AM - 8PM Wednesday - Sunday 10AM - 5PM (free Museum admission on Tuesday between 5 and 8PM)

    This is a cool little store, better than the museum itself. A good place to buy a gift or just something different for yourself

    I recently visited this store with my friends, and we were treated absolutely unfairly. After…read morebrowsing and peacefully walking out (without buying anything), one of the workers came running after us and accused us of stealing. We were shocked, confused, and honestly embarrassed, in public for something we didn't do. They didn't ask politely or explain anything. They just assumed. No proof. No apology. nothing We cooperated and showed them we had nothing, and instead of admitting their mistake, they gave us attitude and let us go like we were guilty. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, especially when you treat young customers like criminals just because we're teens or don't "look" like your usual shoppers. We came to shop, not to be profiled or harassed. I will not be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone who values basic respect.

    She is on the phone. "Hi, may I take a quick picture?"…read moreI asked politely. The lady responded, "no photo, goodbye." While this short poem pretty much sums up my 30-second visit at Oriental Boutique, it is also an acrostic that describes the lady's attitude and the service. I was looking for a traditional Chinese dress (i.e. Qi Pao) for my girlfriend, whom I am going to marry. However, most of the designs cater to kids or tourists (that might explain why most positive reviews were written by non-Asian customers... just saying!) and very few of them are for adults. As someone who grew up in an ethnically Chinese background, I had seen and worn more culturally authentic and better designed traditional gowns and dresses. Many designs displayed in the store seem "oriental" in a western sense or as in what westerners think "oriental" should look like, but this is just my subjective observation and honest opinion. The lady was on the phone all the time, and when I asked her question, she literally answered, "no photo, goodbye." Okay. BYE. NEVER AGAIN! Wish I could have given a zero or a negative number.
