“Asian markets are particularly fun because there is always something interesting and new I want to try – I can say that about any ethnic market really. But Joong Boo is great because at times, it does feel like I’m shopping in a marketplace in Asia.”

“Two words– pork buns. They are heavenly.”
Angela M.“When I drive by this place on the Kennedy expressway I always want to just jump out of my car and run in here. Why? Because there is a little shack in front of the store that is steaming up greatness.”

“Two words. SASHIMI PLATTER.”
Fumie K.“Hands down the best kept secret in Chicago for Korean food.”
Gregory P.“Joong Boo Market is the best Asian market I have found in the city. The prices are great and they have a huge variety of items. If you don’t know what you are looking for and don’t speak an Asian language it can be a little overwhelming, but the staff has always been very helpful when I ask for help.”

“This place is my dirty little Asian secret. I can’t tell how many times I’ve been here and left with my tummy full to the point where I hurts to walk.”
Matt R.“The soon doo boo is OFF the chain here. I walk in and the smell of the Korean motherland enters my nostrils. Reminds me of my first trip to Korea. It’s a hidden gem….Please please please, go to this place if you love tofu, Korea and everything in between.”
Sam S.“The snack corner is an unassuming little gem. We had the spicy sashimi and the bulgogi, and both were delicious. Everything we saw looked yummy!”
Teddy C.“Prolly my favorite place in the city for fast Korean food and cheap groceries. I love Joong Boo for their snack corner and also for all the marinated beef they have. You get quality fresh produces at cheap price. I would literally go here everyday if I could.”
