Restoried Bookshop

One of my new favorite bookstores!! The owner Justin is such an incredible, kind, and knowledgeable person who always takes time to chat about the latest book or social issues or even food recommendations in the city. The bookstore itself is stocked with both familiar and unfamiliar books (for adults and children) and goodies mostly by or about the Asian diaspora, which is so meaningful especially because it’s the first of its kind in Chicago! I’ve been several times now and will continue to frequent this amazing space. Go follow their instagram for info on cool events and book clubs!

Restoried Bookshop is truly one of the best bookstores we've ever visited. The way they categorize their books by geography is so creative and makes browsing a new experience. I was especially intrigued by the books with a bold font on the spines—it got me so curious to learn more. It's a must-visit for any book lover!

Love the selection of Asian American books in this bookstore. The curation is on point! If you are into Asian American lit, this is the place to be. I saw a lot of familiar titles but also titles I’ve never seen. Justin is friendly and gave recommendations for my 7 yo son as well. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Chicago!

I finally made it over to Restoried and it was such a nice experience. The owner was there and he was so welcoming. It's a small and cozy shop with a great selection of books. I appreciate their eye toward community building and creating a third space for book lovers. Looking forward to finishing the book i hadn't planed on buying (but it looked so cool!) so I can go back and get some more.
