Went there for lunch with coworkers , was really good food, alot of variety fir everyone eating different things, and it's great because it's fast
I adore this place. I'm fortunate that my office is directly across the street. Their buffet is on point. So many items to choose from. Their carnitas is solid, they sometimes have fried chicken drumsticks covered with a honey bbq. I'm not even a big chicken fan, but I happened to be standing there when a fresh batch arrived from the kitchen, so I obvs had to try one. And I always hit up the salad bar. Good stuff all around.
I'm from Indianapolis and occasionaly (rarley) come in to Chaiacgo for work, but got to eat here Aug 2023 (which I hadnt; posted) and May 2024. Both times were awesome -- what a nice buffet / salad bar style place with tons of options - salads, sandwiches, wings, rice bowls, and sushi. Yeah, they had me at sushi! Super fresh and SO good. Pay by the pound. And apparently it's half price if you go after 2pm. Indoor and outdoor seating options, friendly staff. #yum #ReviewsByRL
It's much more of a hot bar than a salad bar....which is exactly what I would want anyway. Love that many of the hot bar options have a bit of an Asian flavor to them - often with egg fried rice, orange chicken, szechuan beef, peppered chicken, etc. And they also have the different windows where you can make sandwiches, bowls, sushi, whatever. Super flexible and tons of options in a small space which is excellent for a quick lunch. It's dangerous as I always end up spending more than I think, that's the only downside to me. But reliably good lunch spot.
What a great place for some extended variety. I loved the choices and the food was delicious. I'm eager to go back and try a few different dishes next time I'm there
Market creations is quite the anomaly. It is a NICE buffet spot. The ambiance on the inside is surprisingly fancy, and the staff is very nice as well. Additionally, in my experience at these types of restaurants, I usually find them to be dirty and messy, especially around the food itself. But at market creations, this is not the case! As far as the food goes, its good, not great, but good. Which to me is something that I consider a win for a buffet style restaurant. They have a wide variety of foods available and all seem to be of good quality, which is impressive in my eyes. This is a good spot to go if you work downtown and want to go somewhere with little time. It is hardly crowded and they have plenty of options making it an easy and quick option for you! Try it out!
I work remote, but had to come into the office for Strategic Planning. Let me just say I have thoroughly enjoyed Market Creations. The breakfast is mid. But where they shine is lunch. Y'all as a product of the Georgia Public School System this is the cafeteria situations of my dreams. I've had their Tex-Mex bowls and loved it. I utilized their buffet and loved it. Is it Michelin level dining? HELL NO! Is it better than most fast food and buffets, but not as good as a non-chain sit down restaurant. And that is why it is good for daily eats.
Market Creations is the buffet-style lunch spot you know will be there when you need it. This location is new to the Loop and I for one welcome it. After the Sears Tower location shut down I've been craving some pay-by-weight sushi! Currently, assumedly because of less people being back in offices, only the salad and hot bars, plus a pre-made deli-style counter, are open. The sushi section is there, waiting, and for that I a hopeful! I've had both the hot food (Chinese-style food that looks as it tastes - yum!) and the salad bar and the only critique I have is: Please, have regular Ranch at the salad bar. The fat-free stuff is nasty! Otherwise, it's great! And the prices are passable too. They have a large selection of refrigerated drinks and even a full bar! I'll definitely have to try it for a happy hour. For years I've been a fan of Market Creations and this location delivers. I'll be perfectly content when the sushi returns and to hopefully help that along I will continue to include this spot in my lunch rotation.
It's pretty tough to beat Market Creations as a pay-by-weight restaurant. Heavy Asian influence on the dishes, but they cover all the bases with cuisine options. There's something for everyone. Be careful especially with heavy vegetables like broccoli or potatoes or you'll experience sticker shock at the register. Lbvs. ..
