Could Gangnam market turn River west into an Asian street food mecca?

Photo: Monica Eng/Axios One of Chicago's most interesting new grocery stores is hosting a grand opening this weekend. Why it matters: Gangnam Market — featuring standard groceries with Asian specialties and a six-restaurant food court — could turn River West into an unlikely Asian street food mecca.

Does Gangnam have a food court?

Driving the news: The store, which has been operating low key for several months in the former Urban Market building on West Chicago Avenue, has finally finished and staffed its food court. To celebrate, Gangnam will host a weekend-long party with free food samples, house-made juices, gourmet coffees, beer, wine and more.

What time is Gangnam open?

If you go: The store is open 8am-9pm, and the food court is open 11am-9pm daily. Gangnam offers free 90-minute validated indoor parking in the second-level garage. Get more local stories in your inbox with Axios Chicago. Support local journalism by becoming a member.
