Joong Boo Market

FoodAvondale · Korean Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3333 N Kimball Ave, Chicago, IL 60618

Joong Boo has run its Avondale location since 1992, built from the start as a one-stop Korean and Pan-Asian grocery operation -- produce, meat and seafood, liquor, and houseware departments all under one roof, sourced directly from importers and local suppliers and farmers rather than through a generic distributor.

$$

The attached food hall includes Snack Corner, a counter-service Korean restaurant, and Wang Mandoo, which hand-makes dumplings in three varieties on-site. The store runs 365 days a year, 8am to 9pm, and that $30 sashimi platter for four (down from $50) on Wednesdays and Fridays is confirmed specifically for this location -- it's a first-come, first-served deal, not a standing menu item.

Joong Boo also runs a Glenview location and a Schaumburg store on the same hours, plus a separate wholesale operation, Hi-Mart, on North Pulaski; none of those sister locations have that same sashimi deal independently verified.
