    By Glitz, 04/16/09
    Chinatown was a new experience for me. While the shops were mostly similar,.. a savy shopper with a good eye will be able to find the different stuff if you look. I wouldn't spend too much time in each store though a quick walkthrough should tell you if its the same or not. When we went last November it was clean and pretty,.. we visited a ...

  • Disappointed
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/24/09
    We were very disappointed with our visit to Chinatown. We found the area to be run down and dirty. The people were not friendly and the food was not good. Very few shops were organized...most were just crammed with merchandise.

  • It's ordinary place
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/15/08
    The red line subway stops at the Chinatown. It is very convinient. However, there is not much to see. Cheap and ordinary stuffs. The food is not any special at all. It is not worthy to visit unless you do not have a big Chinese community at your town.

  • small and cute
    By Shelley, 07/07/08
    I liked walking through Chinatown... a different expirience. My local city doesn't have a Chinatown so it was a nice visit. Smaller than I thought it'd be though...only a few blocks, but found great buys and good Chinese food :)

  • A good place to eat.
    By Char B, 06/08/08
    Chinatown is right off the Redline (Chicago's transit system) so it's very easy to find. This is a great area to have lunch in the middle of the week because it's not croweded. But choose your resturant wisely!

  • Wasn't what I expected
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/03/08
    Overal Chinatown is a very cute and clean place to visit. However its only a couple blocks long and has the same three places over and over again. You can go shopping for something you can buy at the dollar store. But why bother going all the way out there for that. They did have a store with some nice furniture pieces. However the rest of the ...

  • Watch your parking meter!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/05/07
    Our experience in Chinatown was cut short due to a dishonest metermaid. We parked and put 2 hours on our meter and when we came back an hour and twenty minutes later we had a ticket on our car saying our meter expired, but the meter still had 40 minutes left! We went into the business where we parked in front of and the worker said she noticed ...

  • You have to go!
    By Brandy C, 01/30/07
    I love China Town. I'm from Wilsonville IL. My mom and I got to Chicago almost every year. She is a tax preparer and we go after peak is over. (which is coming soon;) Anyways, China town has the best shopping. Everything is really well priced. The bakerys are AMAZING!! We always leave with 4 grocery bags full of treats to take home to ...

  • Chicago's Chinatown Worth It!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/03/07
    I really enjoyed our trip to Chinatown in Chicago. Although it is smaller than other Chinatowns and there are fewer shops, there are some good shopping deals. Also, the streets are clean and open. The food was good and inexpensive. I would definitely return!

  • Half way decent
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/26/06
    Definately worth a side trip, but don't plan more than an hour or two. It is just like being in China but cleaner, although the people were less friendly than when I was in China.
    If you're looking for goodies to buy that are authentic, this is the place to go. Lots of good buys for stuff like clothing, purses, vases and jade. The bakerys ...
