"I checked out the new H Mart in the West Loop, which opened at 711 W. Jackson Boulevard with a celebratory ribbon cutting, music, and dancing; the market brings a full-service Pan-Asian grocer and food court so Chicagoans no longer have to venture to the suburbs. Lunch options include traditional Korean stews, sushi burritos, and Korean fried chicken, and there's a cafe serving Korean and European baked goods and coffee. The interiors favor a more urban design compared with H Mart’s suburban locations and feel more compact, with limited seating—be prepared to pounce on a table once customers leave. Photos of the market and opening ceremonies were on display, though there was no Olympic cauldron or torch despite the Winter Games in Pyeongchang." - Ashok Selvam
