    When I visited my best friend in Chicago, I had an incredible time exploring 88 Marketplace. We went for 312 Fish Market (a sushi spot inside), but ended up doing some grocery shopping while we waited for our food to be ready. This place is HUGE! There are several different markets within. You'll take the escalators up to get to the main food court and grocery part. The food court section has a bit of a divider between the grocery and plenty of seating. This will be to the right. I loved exploring the aisles. I feel like they offered 10+ of certain products (re: mochi ice cream, sesame oil, and frozen dumplings). It's well organized! I loved seeing the huge variety of meats and fish here. I highly recommend visiting this incredible store.

    88 Marketplace is a cool 2 floor mall with a grocery store and food court on the top floor! There were lots of options for restaurants, but I chose to get sushi at 312 Fish Market. There's plenty of seating in the food court, and you can either order to go at the counter or sit for service. I went close to closing time, so it wasn't busy. But I can imagine that on the weekend the place fills up! It's the perfect place to stop for lunch while grocery shopping. They had one fully vegetarian specialty roll, and it was really good! I had the Fancy Plant roll, and I ordered a side of spicy mayo for an extra kick. I liked how many veggies came in it, and the eggplant on top was very tender. I definitely will be coming back here!

    88 Market was definitely an experience! The market was filled with customers and new items that sparked interest. The floor, shelves, and bins were clean and organized. We loved the items we bought and definitely will be back!

    It is actively busy in and out. From their two parking lot to the grocery store. Also thankful that the parking lot is free. The groceries store has a lot of good variety from veggies, dried and frozen food. Giving a lot of props to the cashier and bagger, who are actively working as fast as they can to move the line.

    Went to visit 88 Marketplace after seeing it come up on my Instagram feed. We were in the area and decided to venture up here and it was worth the visit. This place was huge, it is similar to H-Mart but a lot more Chinese based products (of course) and much bigger. The meat section was insanely big, they were actively butchering. A giant selection of meats, seafoods that you don't normally see in stores. For example there were thick cuts of pork belly including the skin. In addition there are several food sit down spots inside the grocery area as well as lots of salons and some fun stores in the same strip mall. The strip mall has a lower floor and a second floor, a lot still to be under renovation. In any case, the marketplace was very fun to walk through and prices were similar to what you would expect to see in the suburbs. Parking was super easy and free in the lot across the street.

    Massive Asian grocery store, Multiple trinket, shops, and restaurants within this marketplace. Korean Hot-Pot that looked heavenly, as well as a food court with sushi, baked goods, soups, etc. it looks like they are in the process of adding more shops including a gaming store. The marketplace was clean, parking was free, and staff were friendly. I liked the atmosphere. The selection of seafood in the grocery store was wonderful and if we weren't in Chicago solely for vacation, we would've bought more. (We didn't have a full kitchen where we were staying).

    This market has the BEST selection of strainers for sinks hands down.

    What a cool grocery and eatery outside Chinatown in Chicago! There is free parking lots and street parking on the street. When you enter, you have a few options to head downstairs to shop in a housewares store, stay on the first level for some food options and art shop, or head upstairs to the large grocery store and food shops. The grocery store is huge, and has a ton of snacks and hard to find Asian grocery items at a reasonable price. We're traveling out of town, but we purchased some hard to find items including some self heating bowls! After we shopped we headed to the food stalls which included a bakery, dim sum, bbq, and dumplings. We order from a few different shops and purchased wonton soup and a variety of dumplings. Everyone was so friendly and nice and the food was good! It's a cool shop and a great place to pick up Asian groceries.

    First time visiting this Asian supermarket near Chinatown. They have a parking lot with plenty of free parking which was a pleasant surprise! Upon entering the building, take the escalator upstairs to access this supermarket. Once you enter the supermarket, stay to the right side and you will find a small food court with four vendors, including a stall serving dim sum. The good: Their varieties of snacks were impressive! The selection of Lays chips and Oreos from overseas was probably the most I've seen, even more than at Chicago's Gangnam Market. The biggest highlight though was they sell Schweppes cream soda. I've never found this cream soda at any supermarket in Chicago or Houston. This soda brings back great memories of my trips to Hong Kong! The bad: The produce. The quality was not great and the prices were much higher than what you'll find at H-Mart and Joong Boo. I recommend visiting to stock up on snacks and creme soda, but pass on the produce.

    If you're ever in the Chicago area, 88 Market is a must! They are so well stocked with all of my favorite Asian snacks and ingredients, both fresh and frozen. I always stock up on my way out of town. There is also a food court full of delicious Chinese food and bakery options if you're ever hungry.

    Really large, Asian grocery store / food court with a BIG variety of products. I was a bit overwhelmed my first time in but would definitely return. Parking is available but can be a bit tricky because of the location and multiple businesses at the location.

    Finally got here without the dog, they don't allow dog. The store is pretty crowded with all kinds of merchandise from all over Asia, not only China, but South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand. The snack session is enormous and all kinds of frozen dumplings, taro cake etc. people shopping here are mostly Asian. They also have a huge selection of seafood. Check out is easy, but you need to pay for the plastic bag. Just remember to bring your own bag in future. Good place if you are looking for Asia food.

    88 Marketplace A large Asian food market @ 2105 S Jefferson Street. My neighbor posted this on Facebook a couple of years & forgot to ask him where it was located. They are located on the second floor w/a large selection of Asian products. They have everything from produce, canned & bottled goods, packaged goods, an array of meats, & fish.....The fish area had a large selection of items but it didn't seem very sanitary. There were fresh shell fish, fish, live eels (that didn't look to good (sickly in about 2"'s of water). There were even whole live king crabs in the back for something like $56.00/lb. A nice selection but again it seemed kind of unsanitary and I don't think I would buy from here. The meat selection had a nice variety of items from chicken, pork, lamb & beef. I didn't spend a lot of time but I did a quick walk through as I didn't have a cooler & didn't want to carry the fish or meats in my car without a cooler . They had a nice little food court. I stopped in and grabbed a quick snack of pork dim sum w/spicy chili sauce that was tasty. I would like to go back & explore a little more throughly when I have more time The space is very large w/very spacious area between the aisles. I feel like they could more effectively use the space & better maximize the amount of merchandise by making the aisles between the shelves tighter. By doing this they could display more varied options of merchandise.

    "Security" on Radius days. Avoid 88 Marketplace. Not safe if they think you are a Radius patron. Be careful.

    Can someone confirm what time the food court restaurants open? I'd like to plan my trip there and not show up too early?

    Other than fish balls, tofu etc. is there a place to get hotpot meat like beef and lamb?

    They have it there. You could ask the butcher for certain cuts. Otherwise I believe they were in a frozen section.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to get the grocery store membership online?

    Just got to their customer service counter for a frequent buyer card customer point reward program.

The grocery store is huge and has a variety of Middle Eastern and Turkish goods. I bought several cheeses, from Kashkaval to Halloumi and most importantly my Labne! The meat looked extremely fresh, but I wasn't going to risk dragging it on the train with me all the way back to downtown, but I'll definitely keep that in mind if I drive back there.

They also have the famous Middle Eastern Mankushe (thyme and cheese flavors)! I wanted to buy so many more things but there's only so much I can carry with me. The employees were super helpful and helped find a few things I needed. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because there were some expired items in the fridge, but nothing that drastic! Till next time!

I have other family members gift a meal or two for me which was eggplant parmesean and I have to say that it was pretty tasty. The portion size i think is generous as well though it did make me really sleepy and nearly almost put me in a coma Nonetheless, it was pretty delicious. They have a wide variety of other goods to choose from as well downstairs. When you take the escalator or elevator to the upper floors, there are dry goods such as breads, tomato sauces, cheeses, bread, and much much more. The wine wall was pretty spectacular as well amd they divided the wines by region. The other part of the store has a stand alone restaurant towards the back which was packed. They also had these stations woth an open concept kitchen so you can see the chefs cooking as well as the bartenders preparing drinks. That was fun to witness as I walked by. It was very hustle bustle and they had one lounge style sit down eatery with waiters and another casual restaurant in the back with waiters. I highly recommend it if you have not gone.

The selection here is fairly good, for a spot outside of the enormous Asian Markets available in the suburbs, with fairly reasonable prices. The interior is very nice, definitely social media worthy (probably the biggest reason to visit) -- with a food court that's definitely above average for a market. The food here isn't cheap, but also not unreasonable and overall of fairly good quality and variety. Overall, definitely a must visit for tourism purposes and still a pretty good choice for shopping and delicious dining if you live anywhere nearby. The market is clean, well organized, and well lit.

It was awesome: salmon, tuna, and around three other types of fish served on top of julienned radish. They gave pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce as well but only one of each. (I would pick up more in store, along with nori and rice vinegar if you want to make rolls). I imagine using this fish for a poke bowl would be fantastic.

Both buns were hefty and could be a meal on their own.
