She was so knowledgeable and kind, she lead us around the store and shared with us the healing properties of so many different items. She answered any questions she had. And Anna created the most beautiful spray of my favorite essential oils. They were so amazing and nice. We left feeling like we had the most beautiful experience. Thank you!!! We'll be back!

There are tons of food…read morespots, a variety of shops for souvenirs or unique finds, and fun pop-in stores with activities and more. As we waited for our table at Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings, we decided to walk around outside and by chance we literally stumbled upon an old-school car show. So..naturally, we joined the crowd and suddenly found ourselves weaving between classic exotic cars in the middle of Chinatown. See pictures for an old chevy with a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the backseat. Yup, you read that right. A lot of parking around the area and super easy to get to by train if needed.

I have not had a bad food experience here yet! I'm looking forward to trying more places out and exploring more around Chinatown. The parking was not bad at all either, nearby and better prices than downtown. The last restaurant I went to was Joy Yee, if you've never been. I recommend haha. And now... I'm on my way to leave them a review. Thank you for reading this far & have a blessed day!

State Street Souvenirs on N State Street is a small souvenir shop boasting shelves of shirts, mugs,…read moremagnets, hats, tchotchkes, and more. We popped in on a recent stroll down State Street and spent just a moment inside. We did not find anything worth scooping up, but they did have a decent variety of Chicago items. Service left a bit to be desired. The associate was behind the counter on her phone, never once lifted her head when we entered or while we were inside. She did wish us well when we walked out. Small, clean and well maintained space. Overall, standard souvenir shop in a good location. Could be better service wise...

Calming music is playing and the smell of incense permeates the air. We were immediately greeted upon entering and directed to an area where I hoped to find a unique birthday gift for a friend. The shop is divided into two rooms with even an area of unique toys for children in the back. Prices are as expected for a gallery of this nature, but definitely a little pricey if you compare them to all the other shops along this strip. But nothing else on this stretch of Wentworth compares. As I worked my way from one room to the next- I could think of other people I knew who would love a gift from a store like this. I was curious as to why this location was chosen as it just doesn't seem to fit the neighborhood. There was nothing particularly Chinese about this place (although there are a couple of Chinese novelties by the counter). But then the sales person heard me wondering aloud to a friend and she did tell me that the owner is Chinese American and wanted to support the neighborhood and feels that the gallery will stand on it's own. A lovely and interesting shop that I will return to again. And as for that birthday gift I was looking for? Hand painted martini glasses for a martini loving friend!

It's so much more, it's definitely a diamond in the rough. There are so many interesting and eclectic products that it can take you a couple of hours or more to really enjoy everything they have to offer. I found myself taking several mental notes on all the beautiful home decorations that I want to place in my future house to beautify it and make it unique. They have a lot of eastern inspired products from middle eastern to asian. There were also these mosaic mirrors that were just wonderful! A perfect vanity mirror or conversational piece in the living room. The owner remembered the little ones too, there was an area of gifts and toys for children too! When you step over to the gallery side, my first thought was, WOW! This artist is truly talented. His worked ranged from beautiful flower paintings to animals, to dr. seuss!! I loved the dr. seuss paintings and the artistic looking lamps. I'm looking forward to visiting Chicago again very soon and often! And I'll be sure to be stopping by this little treasure each time, even if I just want to day dream =)

They have some great Chicago-related merchandise: Glasses, coasters, kitchen towels, and so on. I was surprised to see an area with children's items like onesies and t-shirts and some small toys. They had a lot of cards, as well as a big section of socks. A lot of snarky and irreverent items too. This shop isn't easy for me to get to--I live on the north side and so it's nowhere near my neighborhood, and the couple other times I've attempted to visit here there was no parking around, so I'm not sure I'll be able to get back anytime soon. I would recommend it though and will be back if I'm around.
