Golden Market of Elgin

"If I could give negative star or zero star I would. This place is very expensive, their price as 40% to 50% over price compare to other Asian store that I have been. Walk around the fish and meat area smell so bad , I did not buy any thing , walk in and walk out with empty hand. There were not many customers in the store and people check out at cashier their cart only few items. Never go to this store again."

"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."

"The Lady at the checkout tried to charge me $40 for four pieces of Duran. It wasn't the whole fruit—just four pieces in a container. When I brought the receipt back to her to let her know, thinking it was a mistake, she still insisted on the cost being $40 for four small pieces of Duran fruit. Lady, you are delusional if you think anyone is stupid enough to pay $40 for four pieces of Duran. Please stop trying to rob your customer of their hard-earned money. PLEASE monitor the person at the counter, especially the older lady; she's notorious for charging more than the actual cost. And she refuses to refund items even if you bring them back the same day. This place should be reported to the Better Business Bureau (BBB)."
