Chinatown Bazaar

Cool little place. The people there are very helpful, just point at what you want hanging from the ceiling or wall and they will find it, somewhere, somehow.
Also, they gave me an extra gift, dont know why, but I bought more than 20 bucks of stuff… Maybe the reason.
Ride the water taxi down, way more fun than the CTA.

I think this is my favorite gift shop in Chinatown. I could spend hours here. My mom finds her good luck gold hanging ornaments here. We have also picked up some jade pendants and other fun items. I was amazed that after the guy at the World Journal Book Store off Archer told me that my mom’s horoscope book that she wanted was out of stock everywhere in the US, we found it at this store only a few hours later. They can also make some custom clothes as well. I saw this super cute outfit that I want to get my niece. If my mom is taking a while grocery shopping, this is where I’m sneaking off to!

I was on a quest to buy an assortment of little Buddha statues for a party, to give out as party favors. At the Chinatown Bazaar, I found exactly what I was looking for. I picked out 20 little charmers which turned out to be a big hit with my guests and hopefully good luck all round.
The woman who waited on me, told me I came in on a very lucky day. It was a triple lucky day as it was the day of the dragon, in the month of the dragon, in the year of the dragon. I was shopping for my birthday party and I happen to have been born in a dragon year, so she and I both celebrated with a lot of well wishing and she gave me a discount on my Buddhas as well as several Chinese paper lanterns. I also picked out several larger Buddhas for myself, so needless to say, I left one happy camper!!!
The shop itself is small, claustrophobic and jam packed with merchandise, which is exactly what I was looking for. After a great lunch at Moon Palace, this is exactly what I needed to complete my Chinatown afternoon.
All I can say is that my Buddhas have brought me good luck ever since I got them. Coincidence? Perhaps … hmmmmmm.

This is a cute little store! It has cute little knick knacks to a good selection of chinese dresses and shirts. What I really loved about this place are the employees! My friend tried on quite a few shirts and was looking for a specific type of shirt. Bless their little hearts… they helped us and searched hard for what she was looking for! Unfortunatly nothing worked out but I recommend this store for sure based of customer service and the great stuff they have in there!

Oh snap, I just got gyped! I go in to look for a cute little souvenir and the owner/​cashier is all over me trying to say «hi» in every single Asian language in the known universe.
With all her yapping in my ear, I can’t focus and pick up what I thought was a pair of Mashimaro hair bands. Wrong. It’s not a pair, it’s one hair tie. Who the hell sells one little hair tie by itself? Apparently these guys do.
I come back to ask for the other one and the woman wasn’t as happy as she was the day before and says, «No Refunds.» Lousy waste of time.

Gosh. I just LOVE this place!!! They have the prettiest purses for cheap $$ and a big selection of chinese dresses! I bought a purse there a while back and have been getting compliments every time I bring it out! This is just a fantastic shop to get gifts for your friends if you are looking for something different and if you are buget conscious.

This is one of the COOLEST shops I have ever stepped foot into! They have these pretty Chinese handbags, clothes, shoes, etc… They have almost EVERYTHING u can possibly need and want! The people who work there smile a lot and they have great customer service! If you’re looking for miniature figurines, halter tops, heels, Bruce Lee figurines or anything Asian… check this place out! I guess the name says it all huh? It is called Chinatown Bazaar!!! 5 stars from me!

Pretty amazing array of art, clothing, vases, pictures, etc. Browse this and the Oriental Art Imports next door for some great window shopping.
