The huge bowl of Pazolle was rich with flavor and had a generous portion of pork inside. I couldn't finish it but can't wait to eat it later at home. The taco meat was nicely charred and had great flavor. The tamales were fresh out of the pot and super flavorful and moist. Now beans are important to me and these were solid. The restaurant is connected to a small grocery grocery store specializing in authentic Mexican products down to the tortillas. The store/restaurant is very unassuming so don't for the ambiance but go for the food and nice people, you will be happy you did.

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.

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.

They had a fresh baked salmon Wellington that looked really delicious! I would have purchased it but we weren't going directly home. A very clean, neat and organized store.

Technically a 3.5…read more Tl;dr big selection of East Asian groceries, but at a higher price than you'd fine a bit further away. Food court is ok and can be crowded at times. ===== A bit of a trek from downtown, but sadly I think this is the closest East Asian grocery store to the loop. It can be pretty crowded in here at peak times. Good selection of produce, dried goods, sauces, snacks, meat etc. they also have a nice section of fish cakes and fish balls as well as sashimi and other sushi-making ingredients. My favorite things to buy here are produce, tteok, rice, and overpriced kimbap (~9$+ per roll). Things here are generally pretty pricy compared to other shops out in Chinatown or in the suburbs. My beloved Joong Boo shall remain first in my heart over this place since it's much more reasonably priced, and the food court is better. They do have some good deals here that you can find on their weekly flyer. Food court is ok and has SGD tofu house which is my go-to, a fried chicken and corn dog place, and some other place I forgot that was probably meh. Staff are very friendly and things here are generally well-organized and easy to find. There's a Paris Baguette, too, which is often out of many kinds of bread if you go in the later afternoon.

It's not like they're selling Bulgari jewelry or begula caviar but bring lots of cold cash to shop here because you'll need it. If you're retired or have a big family, you just might have to take out a second mortgage to stock the frig and your food pantry shopping at Carpathia, no lie. I know we've had inflation but some of their prices and the small portion sizes go well beyond that. But if you're willing to blow your paycheck on a good Polish sausage, you've arrived at the right deli but the food is very good, if you can afford it.

I'm loving the availability fresh mithai (sweets) and snacks right at my back door vs a trip to cart-congested Patel Brothers. Don't get me wrong, we all ultimately end up going to Patel Brothers but 1, it is far from me, and, 2, it has always been and always will be a place where personal space is violated (social distancing is non existent there) The young men who work at Bombay Mart are very helpful. They have made sure to take all precautions since the pandemic started. What stood out for me is that, upon request, they are willing to provide curbside pickup, or at least they offer that to my elderly parents who still arent comfortable entering stores. If they do not carry an item, they will try their order it for you. It is clear. Bombay Mart will continue to remain a very convenient, well-stocked Indian grocery store with helpful store owners that always strive to satisfy.

On a recent work trip to Chicago, I had the chance to experience all of Eataly's offerings. During…read moremy first visit, I picked up some sweet treats to enjoy after dinner. First, I explored the endless snack aisles and selected a bag of chocolate-hazelnut biscuits to take home. I couldn't resist the gelato and tried the pistachio flavor (yum!) On my next visit to Eataly a couple of days later, I ordered a cappuccino, and while my beverage took a long time to prepare, the espresso tasted very high quality. The pastries looked stunning and decadent, and I imagine they'd pair wonderfully with espresso if you have time to linger at the cafe (I was in a hurry to get to a work meeting). The next day, my team and I visited Eataly's restaurant for lunch. I selected the anchovy toast as my starter and the gnocchi for my main as part of the lunch special. The toast consisted of two slices of sourdough bread topped with creamy lemon spread and anchovies. The contrast of the bright lemon flavor with the ultra-salty anchovies was tempered by the creamy butter - these all paired together quite well. The gnocchi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The gnocchi was much too soft (it had the texture of mashed potatoes), and the red sauce was bland. All in all, visiting Eataly was a cool way to experience gourmet Italian food.

We have never been here before and saw they offered a summer Fridays tasting event. The event…read moreitself I wouldn't recommend - they give you tiny sample portions of preselected items on paper hotdog containers. Considering this place is supposed to have some class, we were pretty appalled that they seemed to do the bare minimum for this event. I felt very deceived by how this event was advertised online vs in real life. It seems they intentionally left out details and was marketed as five tastings at five counters, but we receieved barely a sample at each sation. The website said 1. house made pasta - you have one option and it was three bites, no vegetarian option 2. roman-style pizza - only thing I won't complain about although still a small portion 3. Curated drink from Caffe Lavazza - this was a dixie cup portion of a blended Frappuccino 4. house made pastry - they gave you the option of literal bite sized dessert, not a whole pastry 5. the artisanal salumi and formaggi - pathetic, literally 1 piece of meat, three pieces of the same type of cheeses, three olives, and dry stale crackers. Honestly for what they offer this was a slap in the face and from a consumer perspective Eataly's attempt at a summer money making scheme. I would find it hard to believe anyone who rave about this event, in fact I imagine most left very underwhelmed and still hungry. Eataly itself might be a great experience but we did not have the opportunity. We enjoyed the spritz drinks we ordered for their $9 summer special but this event did not make me want to return at all. It unfortunately dangled everything they could have offered in front of us, but then gave us the lowest tier. Driving in traffic to do this was not worth the time, gas, parking or inconvenience and the best part of our city night was when we stepped out of Eataly.

I needed 10 and they said if I got there early in the morning, there'd be more than enough. They were right! They had over 30 healthy, active lobsters to choose from. They gave me a free cooler with ice pack to take the lobsters. They charge $10.99 per lb for 2lbs and under so I always get between 1.75 to 2 lb lobsters. It's the perfect tail size to overall weight ratio to me. I've gone to a handful of places in Chinatown since moving to Pilsen almost 4 years ago. This is my third time coming here and it's honestly the best on quality. The great price is secondary when dealing with live seafood. Quality is the most important and Chicago Food Market delivers. They are cash only, so keep that in mind and it's honestly the only negative about this place.
