They have everything you can imagine packed into a little storefront. I needed a dimmer switch for a ceiling fan. I tried a couple electric supply places, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware, but no luck. Alvarez handed me exactly what I needed in seconds. Their prices are generally competitive. When they are a little higher the savings are not worth the time and effort to go to and hunt around a big box store. Not to forget Alvarez's valuable advice. They truly are a gem

Went to Hardware in North Aurora and came away with mixed feelings…read more The good: ambiance is great and the drinks were on point. Had the Marilyn saison and a solid dark beer. Bar program is strong. The short rib pot pie was a straight up winner. Rich, comforting, and not trying to be anything other than good food done right. The bone marrow lost me. Cooked well, but buried under too many microgreens and then oddly topped with tortilla chip strips. No smokiness either. It felt more confused than cohesive. Where it really started to miss was the overall approach. A lot of "the chef intends this..." type explanations. It ends up feeling like the food insists upon itself instead of just letting you enjoy it. That's the bigger issue. This place exists in a space where I don't think most people want to meet it. Not casual enough to relax, not refined enough to justify the performance. Bottom line: good drinks, great pot pie, but the experience tries a little too hard.

I cannot recommend highly enough. We've had about 15 screens repaired, received pest control…read moreadvice, bought paint and items, and had a glass window (with gas insulation inside, don't know what to call it) redone - and much more - all for reasonable prices and with a smile. Today a really great employee came out and jerry-rigged a license plate that was falling off our car because the screw hole for it was broken. They are AWESOME. Pray they don't leave the neighborhood because the bike lanes have removed any way to easily pull in front of the store for loading/unloading - they are the best. I'm a bike rider too and don't want to see the new lanes shutting down small independent businesses like this - there must be a way to adjust.

What a spectacular find!…read more Like most things in Chinatown, you have to work your way through this place...and who's to say if the EXACT item you need will be here after hunting several very tall aisles. The lady in charge when I went didn't know specifically what they had, but instantly knew what it cost when she saw it! In my case, as well as any owner of a Pyrex 9x13 baking pan, this trip was a major score. They have a $6 10x18 pan grate that fits snugly secured to the handles of the pan so you can roast meats as drippings fall 2" into the Pyrex. Also, the same "Winco" brand has a grate which fits inside the same glass Pyrex pan. If you want to elevate a small roast inside the 9x13, this $4 grate fits perfectly too. This stuff isn't easily found...just saying.

The selection though was about half of what the other store had. Sunlight's prices did seem slightly better on most things, though.

Bought many things here over the years. We walked in and was immediately recognized by "thebiglebowski."

It is great that some things #neverchange.
