In addition to statues, they also have a decent selection of votive candles along with oils and incense. As far as items in the Santeria tradition, I was only able to see a selection of elekes but I didn't see any other items. I could be mistaken so it might be a good idea to call ahead if you need a cauldron or any other hard-to-find items. The herb selection was not as abundant but there were enough to meet most needs. The woman that worked there was very friendly and approachable. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I know quite a few people that have gone to this business of different races and everyone has nothing but good things to say.

These are good people with over 30 years years of experience and are very good at what they do. Please take the time to visit this business and you will also be impressed with their kindness and excellent service. I am a regular.

In addition they carry lots of popular Jewish music CD, have book lists for the local day schools, yeshivos, and girls schools. They are great when it comes to ordering, holding items, and offer many thinks like personalizing prayer books with your name in Hebrew or English.

I never thought to give them a review until now. I've been there dozens of times for all the items above and then some. During Succos they have a special section they open up just to sell different size Succos and decorations. This place is the place to go for Judaica in West Roger's Park. They have most things you can think of and can order what they don't have in stock. They have an unbelievable selection of items. During peak hours this place can get quite crowded but there is always someone around you can ask for help. This place is definitely my first stop for any Jewish items I need.

How bazaar! This place has big deals in Little China! This…read moresouvenir shop has it all. 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.

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?
