Golden Market of Elgin

I absolutely adore this place! It’s incredibly convenient for Elgin residents to access Asian groceries at reasonable prices, especially when it comes to their fresh produce. Surprisingly, I’ve noticed that sometimes their produce is even more affordable than what you’d find in Chinatown in Chicago.
While their dry food selection is quite good, it’s essential to note that this isn’t the spot to hunt down niche Asian products. However, the friendly lady at the front always makes the shopping experience pleasant.
Regarding the claims of overcharging, I disagree. Some of their seasonal fresh items might cost a bit more, but it’s usually because they’re unique or one-time offerings. Keep an eye out for the price tags, which clearly state the cost or price per pound. If something seems too expensive, simply put it back. There is nothing much to complain about.

We’re blessed to have this wonderful market in Elgin! Saves me a trip to the city for a wide variety of ingredients across many cuisines and the prices are on point! Love love love this place 💖

This clean market sells very extensive range of fresh produce, meat, seafood and ingredients geared towards Asian cuisine. Get what you need, or try something new. Fresh fresh!

Its great to walk into a store where the employees are calm, patient and kind. Also the variety here is amazing, its huge~!!! Even when its busy its not really busy, so there might be a small crowd but thats it. People coming here seem to generally know what they want and its a quick in and out for most. That being said, they are some pleasant customers, its definitely nothing like the people who solely shop at Walmart.
The prices, atmosphere and variety make this somewhere you gotta visit. I got my divided hotpot pot here!

I love this store! I used to live in Uptown in Chicago and this store reminds me of the Asian grocery stores there because they have everything you could ever expect from an Asian grocery. I also love that they have banh mi sandwiches, BBQ pork and roast duck for sale and more! Highly recommend this store!!

Great local pan-Asian market! Leans more heavily towards Thai and Indonesian foods, but still plenty of Chinese and Japanese ingredients. Staff is always kind and polite. Prices for fresh ingredients are a steal!

Great place for a multitude of asian groceries. They also sell pre-cooked egg rolls and sesame balls among other items. I won't have to drive to Uptown or Downtown Chinatown for authentic items. It's all there! A hidden gem in Elgin!!

Nice market well kept

So thrilled this store moved into the neighborhood. Wonderful people running it with an excellent selection of fresh and packaged foods. Hidden gem!

Such a fun shop, looks like they're opening a hot deli in the back.

Excellent variety of fresh and dry ingredients at reasonable prices. It’s worth the longer drive!
