But, very extensive selection of items. Lots of free samples around the store too. If you enjoy exploring new foods, this is a great place! Also, the food court offers quick, authentic Korean food. My only negative is the bibimap barely had any meat and was not as good as some others I've had. But, still decent. Overall: highly recommend. Great Asian market.

Not very good at customer service told me to buy raw fish downstairs. That's not how ordering sushi - rice works. If I ask no order to omit the rice. You omit it or lose the order. They just lost some business. I won't be back here either. The atmosphere is noisy and feels like a public transit station. Hell the elevator even smells like a bus station elevator! Gross!!! I do like the grocery store but that's about all this place is useful for. Skip the food court everyone raves about. It's not that great. It's just an average chain restaurant quality product. You can get better at a real restaurant for the same prices without the horrid racket of the grocery store. This place is legit louder than being in an Equinix server cage room!!! (See prior review for grocery store. Grocery here is 10/10. This review covers only the so called dining court. Two restaurants owned by the same people does not make a dining court. It's a monopoly in the dining court!)

I like the store it has a lot of variety. I came here to get a shampoo and conditioner and I was…read morewith my 2 year old niece. We end up getting snacks and some of the konjac jelly juice. I was also excited as they carry the brand of lipstick I like. I put the different color of lipstick on the back of my hand until I found the color I like. Of course I cleaned my hand using the cotton swab and make-up remover. I end up buying more $100 something worth of snacks (including the shampoo and conditioner I came there originally). The girl who checked me out doesn't have a good customer service. I asked if they have trash and she said yes, so I handed over the cotton ball. And she pointed me to the end of the counter. I said, ok, so I walked there with my cart as I put my 2 year old niece on the cart. I thought she was done charging but I didn't realize that there are 2 more konjac jelly on the side of the cart and I didn't see it because my 2 year old niece was sitting on the cart. It was an honest mistake. Anyways I handed it over to her and saw her roll her eyes. I just keep my cool. I asked for an extra small bag so that I can put my niece snacks that we purchased. The girl said it's 10 cents. Girl, I just got more than $100 worth of stuff and you can't give me an extra bag? I've been in the store more than 10 times and didn't know that they charge the bags. Anyways I end up giving her $50 as that's the only cash I have. Most of the emplyees are nice but the girl in the counter yesterday sucks. I'm giving it 2 star due to the other employee who is more considerate and even open the door as me and my niece walked out the store. 1 star for having variety of stuff, but I can go to Park to Shop, Mitsuwa, or H-mart for a lesser price.

The store was immaculate and well-stocked. They offered several brands of the item I was looking for. I couldn't leave the store without checking out their bakery department and treated myself a mile-high chocolate cake. It was the highlight of the visit. The cake was heavenly. The store shares an enormous parking lot with other businesses. I will definitely spend more time in the store on my next visit to see what else I can find.

We have rarely dropped in this particular store, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned as…read moreit is very congested, both in the store and around their parking lot.  There is a lot of car traffic as their Pointe Plaza strip mall also houses a Walmart and a lot of that traffic goes right by the busy entrance of this Fresh Farms.  Inventory and quality wise, they may have what you need or want, but it's a bit of a hassle coming here I would say.  The wife wanted some frozen grated cassava, and it turns out not every grocery store carries it, but Fresh Farms does.  Also, a pro-tip for you - at both this store and the Fresh Farms on Golf Road (also in Niles), you can freeze to death inside the store year round, so come in with a jacket or equal!  They like protecting their produce I guess!

5 stars for Park to Shop Supermarket!…read more This is a huge Asian grocery store when you can get a ton of groceries at much lower prices than you'd find them at a Jewel for example. This store is also cheaper than H-Mart for a lot of stuff as well if you're familiar with that grocery store.

A really cool place to check out if you're looking for lower prices on Asian items.

"Food is a central activity of mankind and one of the single most significant trademarks of a…read moreculture." Mark Kurlansky It is my mission while I am residing in the northwest Chicago suburbs to submerse myself in the cultural treasure trove around me and experience as much as I can, as fast as I can. Finding the best and most authentic international groceries (and conversing with the owners and patrons inside) is one of the best means to do this, I have found. On my way to Assi (a Korean grocery), I saw the Zander Import Groceries sign with the curious winged lion. "Another time," I thought. But, it ate at me while I was shopping at Assi. So, I read a few Yelp reviews in the parking lot and decided to endure the six o'clock traffic on Milwaukee Ave and drive back there. The reviews said bread and pickles, try the bread and pickles. That was the mission. I believe it not chance that Zander was grinding fresh Turkish Coffee beans for another customer as I walked in. The smell was inviting and immediately perked me up. Now I know I'll come back when I have coffee drinking guests to entertain. There are plenty of good Indian, Pakistani, and Persian stores within a few miles of Zander Import Groceries, but Zander earns his relevance due to certain specific Assyrian goods he offers. The breads are acquired from bakeries in Skokie and Chicago, and the quality is good. The lavash was particularly nice, but the heavily floured crust left me wanting some of that coffee to wash it down. The Assyrian bread had a great bite and reminded me of a doughnut without sugar. (Does that make sense?) A kind gentleman patron directed me to a spicy homemade pickle of cabbage, carrot, and spices. I must say, it was delicious and I hope my husband loves it as much as I do. Zander also had some imported pickles and olives which looked fascinating. There were other staples, too, as you can see from my photos. This shop is definitely needed and earns its place with some unique offerings. I enjoyed my pickles and bread, and will have what is left of them to accompany an eggplant dish I am making tomorrow night. Brittney Tun Food Writer and Culinary Enthusiast
