The people are amazingly helpful and know exactly where everything is. I'll take this place over any Home Depot, any day of the week. You feel like the people actually know what they're talking about and are anxious to help you! Miss you guys now that I'm in Cleveland!

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

The baked goat cheese was excellent! As was the old fashioned. This place just has great whiskey. Their summer wind cocktail is good too. The ambiance is fabulous. This place puts a lot of thought into their menu, ingredients, etc.

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. They had an extensive selection of all things kitchen and food prep...pots, pans, dishes, utensils, trays, ...pretty much anything you might find in a restaurant was here and cheap.

They're the best. So helpful with any hardware project. Parking is easy, and their hours are great.read more

Bought many things here over the years. We walked in and was immediately recognized by "thebiglebowski." Still the same and the hardware store is the same with a plethora of bolts, nails, building materials, collapsable buckets, and of course a very nice candy counter! It is great that some things #neverchange.
