Any dairy, basic produce, bread, spice, canned or dry good you need--they got you. They even carry yerba mate which makes it a gold standard kinda place for me. Don't forget to check out the sweet mural outside featuring Rosalinda from the shop!

We ordered a dungarees crab and the seafood monger was friendly and happily picked a nice feisty one for us and even ransack to get us ice for the trip back home. Very warehouse feeling but for the amount of stock they're carrying everything is packed with easy visibility and access in mind. Unless we missed anything somewhat disappointed in the food court or restaurant options and there's no signage to tell you where to access the market (up the escalators) versus the downstairs shops and what's available.

I am very unhappy with this racist place of business. I had a bad experience there yesterday that I…read morebelieve was racism. I've been here many times. My boyfriend and I came up to the register and the cashier saw us but decided to leave. She was returning some baskets and never came back. I was stunned. We went to a different lane and left. They have a good clean produce section. That is what I come here for unless there is a sale on pop or other stuff. All the other products are highly overpriced. No one seems happy here. No one smiles or asks to help you or talk to you at all. I guess management hasn't heard about the benefits of good customer service. It reduces employee turnover and retains customers. PS. I am a senior and white.

They have excellent roast duck as well as other prepared food options like chicken. Their prepared food looked better than at least one similar grocery store that I saw. Their store is organized and has a lot of good food. It looks like they have a lot of good produce. I appreciated their different options for tofu.

I stopped in Chinatown on my way back from the south side because I knew I'd find the rice noodles…read moreand bok choi I needed for a new recipe without issue. Sometimes when I'm trying to find "international" ingredients at Mariano's or something it's hit or miss. I found what I needed here and it was a fairly quick trip--I don't think I was in store more than 20 minutes. The store is small, and very very crowded. Aisles are about as wide as a single person facing forward. This isn't a place where you're going to get a shopping cart down an aisle. The prices are good. I got a head of Napa cabbage for 99 cents per pound, and when I go to my neighborhood store it's usually closer to $3-4 or more per pound. Since it was such a steal I added hot and sour soup to my menu for the week. There's a parking lot at this store. It's one way, and you must enter from Archer. DO NOT enter the wrong way or you won't be able to park--the spaces are angled and there's not enough space between the building and the fencing to turn yourself around. There are only about ten parking spaces here so I'm sure it gets filled pretty quick, but when I was here I was the only car parked here. There's street parking which can be pretty chancy, but maybe I'm just speaking from the perspective of someone who was here on a busy Sunday in Chinatown.

J Freshmart is one of the stores you come to with the freshest seafood that I can buy. You can say they are a bit pricey but they have the seafood you want and not sold out.

Jewel Osco was the most recommended rotisserie chicken that I had in Chicago…read more I went in to pick up my beloved bird, but damn near broke my neck when I saw a 15+ person line over at the fried chicken station. A line for grocery store fried chicken? Absolute cinema. People have been recommending I get into fried chicken reviews, and I've resisted as I really don't want to get fat, but this was the perfect storm to start a grocery store fried chicken review journey. I got to the front in the line and felt like a fish out of water. I sheepishly asked the employees, Darius R and Damariea J, what the move was as it was my first time getting fried chicken from here. I thought they'd be annoyed, but they were so helpful and welcoming. "Today is actually wing bucket Friday! A whole bucket is normally $17.99 but today it's $9.99. I can give you some of everything so you can try, but the spicy wings are my favorite." Hell yeah. Darius was the MAN. I took my tissi and wing bucket to the UIC campus for consumption. The tissi was a brick and landed at a 6/10, which currently ranks it 71st out of 94 grocery store birds I've tried, but the fried chicken was INSANE. Darius wasn't lying, the spicy wings were next level. The best grocery store chicken I've ever had. Boomin the Publix fried chicken. Shoutout to the Darius' and Damariea's of the world. Good people.

There's always ample parking that's free and there is a large variety of choices of foods as well as non-food items. The prices are a little bit higher, but it's convenient because they are everywhere. And they are really good sales sometimes where you can get mushrooms for one dollar, strawberries for one dollar, blueberries for one dollar, and even tofu for $1 which was just on 3/9/25. On the app, you can get a free item almost every weekend, but you just have to clip it as well as the digital coupons. Just make sure all the prices get scanned properly when you look at your receipt and they will adjust it right away if there is ever a technical error. Overall, having a Jewel Osco in Chicago makes life easier for me because of the sales as well as finding one everywhere.
