LTH,
Thought I'd mention a couple of easy to miss you'll be happy you found them ethnic groceries with prepared foods, Dong AH and RC.
Southeast corner of Touhy & Crawford
Dong AH has been mentioned a couple of times by
Mr. T and
Akane for their deliciously addictive Korean chicken wings, though Dong AH's skew more towards sweet then my benchmark
Great Sea. In addition to grocery items Dong AH has prepared kimbap (Korean maki), seasoned tofu, mackerel, a few types of panchan, along with a rotating list, all freshly made and flavorful.

RC Oriental Outlet, like Dong AH, is a single storefront grocery with prepared food on offer, though unlike Dong AH RC has a dedicated prepared foods section including my Filipino neighbors favorite take-away vegetable egg roll, in the rear of the store.

These looked terrific, though I am unsure exactly what they are. It was necessary to purchase a tray of 6 so I (uncharacteristically) passed. In my behalf I was still full from breakfast at
Patty's diner.
RC had a display of banana leaf wrapped items at the counter, Ube, Cassava and Suman Xntala. I'm not quite sure what Suman Xntala might be.
Dong AH and RC make a heck of a one-two punch for picking up a quick lunch or light evening meal. I should also note that a few blocks West on Touhy (3900 block) is another small strip mall containing NY Bagel and Baily, a Jewish deli, Filipino bakery with some prepared foods and a Korean take-away.
Enjoy,
Gary
