Koreatown Galleria

This is the center of the Korean community in Los Angeles. The mall is located in the bustling area of ​​the city center and the transportation is very convenient. The mall has three floors. The lobby in the city is very high and wide. There are a variety of Korean-style commodity stores with rich samples. There are many Koreans and Asians who come here, and there are many people of other ethnicities. It feels very good to shop here.

We like this shopping center. We visit the Koreatown each time we visit L.A. and this is one of the places we always stop by. Parking is easy inside the parking structure adjacent to the Galleria plaza. We do some shopping but we primarily stop by the food court on the 2nd floor. There are quite a few choices of very tasty Korean foods here. They are very authentic with fresh ingredients and prepared well. I think the price is fair and the portions are great. The food court is clean and seems to be maintained well. The grocery store on the bottom floor is well stocked as well. We are often in town via air travel so we do not do big grocery shopping but the Korean bakery selections are usually good here.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Love the food here it’s so affordable and good! Love the bakery items also. I regret not buying more of this creamy/garlicky/ cheese bread. I always make sure to make a visit here whenever I’m in LA.

A lot of great shops at Koreatown Galleria. The top floor is the food court, and it was really busy on a weekday. Parking is free in the adjacent garage. There are various retailers that sell clothes and music. I was able to buy a souvenir for my AirPods. Overall this Galleria is pretty clean and seemed busy.

there’s a little bit of everything here. the directory doesn’t look too up to date. some of the shops have been struggling to keep open. once in a while you’ll see a new place take over the old one. which can feel a little sad. nonetheless i like the cleanliness and security. the pho place in the foodcourt is good. although i wish the bahn mi’s ingredients were a little served a little hotter. willing to give another try to this place and their viet ice coffee.

Small stores to look through on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely a quieter space which I enjoyed.

Galleria market on level 1, shops on 2nd and 3rd, food court on 3rd. Good place to spend and hour or 2. Level 2 has large indoor courtyard with a fountain. Can let the kiddies run around for few minutes.

Didn't try the food but based on the shopping experience I wouldn't come back. If you're specifically looking for Korean beauty products there are a few stores with good options but overall this place is sad and in rough shape.

I like coming to this location for grocery shopping at times. Their fruits and veggies always seem to be fresh, and they constantly take out new boxes to restock. The people I came across seemed friendly, too. The weekend has the best lowered prices, too, so don't miss out. Baro kimbab store is located inside this Galleria market, behind the cashiers, to the back side. They have my favorite kimbap. I did a separate review for them. I didn't have much time to take many pics, but next time, I will.

There are a lot of older women clothing stores, and skincare stores here. There's also a small food court with Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese food. But the Vietnamese god did not look good or even close to authentic.

I've always come here for the H Mart, but then my friend mentioned they had a food court and I was really shocked because I never knew about it. I'd say there were about 12 food stalls with a variety of different Korean foods. I ended up getting budae jjigae because I wanted something soupy. This, along with all the other food stalls, has a very homey feeling. I really liked the budae jjigae because it feels like I'm eating a home cooked meal. I think the broth had a nice flavor and wasn't overpowering with any spices. There was also a really nice ratio of meat to soup. The serving was pretty large and it came with a lot of side dishes that I enjoyed. They do close around 7:30pm, so just be aware. This place is a good spot if you want a bunch of Korean food in one area. Definitely recommend this place for a homey meal! There is a parking garage available. Usually it's free with validation. Staff is really friendly and most speak English. Lots of seating available and a great place for your next meal.

Koreatown Galleria is a three-level indoor shopping center. It is one of the three notable Korean indoor shopping centers with Korean supermarket in Koreatown (Koreatown Galleria, Koreatown Plaza, and MaDang Courtyard). Parking: Free garage parking up to 2 hours. Basement floor: Galleria Market (Korean supermarket). 1st floor: Multiple clothing stores, one Korean beauty store, Hanmi Bank, etc. 2nd floor: A mini food court with an outdoor patio (limited space), Little Bean Café, Korean bookstore, etc. Personally I like Galleria Market better than H Mart just from a block away. The food court at Koreatown Galleria has a small outdoor patio where as the food court at Koreatown Plaza doesn't have an outdoor patio (underground food court); however, Koreatown Galleria doesn't have an appliance store, upscale clothing shops, and hair salons like the one you will find in Koreatown Plaza. Overall it is a great shopping center for anyone who's looking for a Korean food court with an outdoor patio, shopping Korean goods at Galleria Market, or getting a cup of latte at Little Bean Café.

Not a bad place to explore if you're not from the area and are not sure what to do. I wouldn't go out of my way specifically since I can access Korean supermarkets and shops near me no problem. There's 1 hour free street parking that becomes free parking after a certain time and the parking garage is 2 hour parking. There's clothing, a miscellaneous item store, and a plant store in the parking lot. The ground floor has the Galleria market, Cake House, Witch's Chicken, a sushi/kimbap place, and random small kiosks. As you head upstairs there's a small area with X-mas decorations and the main mall floor has the Christmas tree and some fountains. The first mall floor has a jewelry store, health shops, "health furniture", a cosmetic store, etc. Second floor has more of the exciting stuff, the food court with indoor and outdoor seating (they have heat lamps for when it gets cold), a car accessories shop, Korean book store, gift shop, a skateboard/snowboard store, a K pop store, etc. You can probably kill around an hour or so here for sure.

Excellent galleria with several shops - I particularly love shopping in the grocery store as they have very fresh produce and other ready-made food products. The Kimbap counter is great for a delicious go-to lunch.

3.7 stars I usually come to this market to pick up some kimchi if I'm lunching in downtown LA. I think this market is really nice and has a great selection of Asian foods. For the most part, I do like this market. The only thing that is a major sore spot for me is the lack of personal boundaries that other customers have. On multiple occasions, there were people standing right behind me. I don't mean at a respectful distance...they were breathing down my neck. And as I stepped away from my cart to avoid them, they move up to take my spot right behind my cart. As in, you would think the shopping cart was their shopping cart. Highly suggest going on a weekday when there aren't too many people.

The shopping center establishment has its own underground parking, with stairs and elevator access to the grocery store, bakery shop, food court and other boutiques. It's usually getting more crowded during the weekend.

11-5-21 This is my go-to place for quick and good Korean food when I am in LA, but now my daughter tells me there is a better place. I cannot wait to try it; maybe my next trip? Quality/Quantity - Fresh, made to order. Bulgogi Kimbap - Made fresh to order, cut thinly - I would have preferred thicker pieces. 8pcs Sushi Combo, Salmon Avocado - Fresh, although all pieces were kind of small. They provided a generous amount of soy sauce (usually only 1 packet), wasabi and the ginger was actually edible. Again, this was our LA Korean go-to place. Atmosphere - Clean. The deli is inside a supermarket. They had plenty of employees working. We took the food upstairs to the food court to eat. There were plenty of seats. They had public clean bathrooms; you need a code, but do not worry because they write it on the door. Service - Good service. Cashier approached us and offered to make us whatever we wanted. Price - $28.49; a little pricey, but we were craving this. Owner Suggestion - Keep up the good work, if you follow my next LA visit I will share some information on your competitor, LOL.

Always my go-to for out-of-town friends and adventurous folks who want to try something different. The quality of food considering this is a food Court is excellent. Recently, I noticed the outdoor patio being utilized more so during this pandemic.

The grocery store was cute and had a variety of goods. However, I was disappointed with the staff who did not make me feel very welcomed. I felt uncomfortable that the staff was staring at me and following me around the store. Also, they were rude and did not say excuse me. And, the snacks we bought did not taste good. The sparking drinks we bought were flat! Will return to buy different snacks. Willing to give it another go.

Why does this location have 4 stars? Olympic Galleria is nostalgic for all of your Korean needs. Top floor- food court! Pretty much any type of Korean food you're craving is there. Mid floor- let's do some shopping. Is the clothing legit idk? But fuck it you are here and they do have deals. The herbs tho those are "I hope legit" because we're purchasing a lot Especially if you're Diabetic. Bottom floor but not the basement- This is where we're doing our everyday grocery shopping. Whatever you need for your home and fridge it is here. If I am wrong your standards are very high and you need to order organically online to have whatever you're missing to your home. They have fresh dukk in the grocery area! Delivered every morning. Just enough because you shouldn't make dukk last a few days ( at least For Me). Even though Ktown isn't very Ktown anymore this location on "Olympic" will satisfy all of your needs. There is a bakery, probably the best one for your weekly bread as in sliced wheat or white bread.! They also offer coffee beverages. Maybe smoothies idk i like my iced coffee and my mother orders hot so I know they offer caffeine. Customer service is surprisingly attentive here! Whom ever works here Korean or non will direct you into the direction of what you are looking for or verify if they have what you are looking for. As for covid! They do follow guidelines. Wear your mask! Everyone does, you should too! Politics or not just wear it out of respect. No one cares of how you feel towards covid just wear it while there. The whole mix of people is a bliss of Interracial. You'll be okay! Side note- milk is super pricy here half gallon of Horizon is $7.99 don't be stupid and purchase milk here just go to Costco and freeze the other two! Because I today purchased 7.99 worth half of a gallon. I will not un-forget it! Also there is a huge parking structure connected to the mall! Don't street park and walk having to think about your car location.

Nice shopping place but expensive clothes. I don't recommend food here. You can find better outside

Annyeong!!! This is the best place to be for some pre and post BTS concert hangout!!!!! ARMY came out for some good food, merchandise, skin care and music! Can't escape running into BTS!!!! Great shopping fun and eats! Plenty of parking, friendly people and shopping! There's is a grocery market, and food court to satisfy your hunger pains! If you are ARMY! Come support this gem of a location!

This review is for the food court which is always a dependable place to go to when you can't decide on what to eat. Lots of food options inside from Korean, Japanese, Viet Pho, etc. Our favorite one is the King Katsu place, and the Korean street food store beside it. Oh and they have Cheesetella too. Will be busy on weekends so make sure to go non-peak times for easy parking. BTW, parking is free on weekends. And they have H-Mart on site and other stores like k-pop, beauty and anime shops.

This food shop is relatively inexperienced staff, taking over 30 minutes on average after your order. Just wait for the remote bell ringing. Staff are coughing without mask in front of foods. Try other shops in the food court for your health and time. FYI. They charge $1 for TO-GO box each.

Lovely old fashioned Korean shopping mall packed with stores, a food court, a bakery and a supermarket. There seemed to be a lot of space inside the mall but it wasn't used at all, which could be a good then because then people could let their kids just run around. The food court was located on the 3rd floor, while the general area was on the 2nd where you could find a nice indoor fountain. The first served only as an entrance. You'd have to go down a floor to get to the supermarket. The supermarket was huuuge! With a small food court where you could buy kimbap and fried chicken.

A very nice place to visit. A lot of Korean shops to browse and plenty of good eats at the 3rd floor. There is a big supermarket on the bottom floor as well. Parking is provided but fills up pretty quick. People are always coming and going so we were able to find parking fast. Also a nice place to hang with friends and family.

Great grocery store with a bunch of casual restaurants to choose from. Good to go if you're looking for a quiet spot in the evening for fast Korean food and a relaxed environment.

They have so many different shops here - it's crazy! I love the parking garage. It's free, easy to park, and built logically so when you are looking for the entrance to the mall, it's easy! The mall itself is really clean and has many shopping places available. Typically you can usually find whatever it is you're looking for here. The mall is really well lit during the day from natural lighting and also at night with their provided lighting. Lots of Korean stuff to buy here .. this is kind of your one stop shop!

I love pretty much anything authentic, hole-in-the-wall, and anything that closely resembles a cultural experience. I love korean food and have recently become obsessed with kimchi stew this past year. When coming to LA, I was like, okay, come to Korea-town and go everywhere where Yelp tells me might be authentic or OG. It brought me here! I love this shopping mall gallery thing. I love how it has it's own parking spot and a grocery store, then an actual mall full of Korean stores! I really do wish we had one of these in Seattle! I loved how the stores sold a lot of Korean dresses/clothing and loved the skincare stores! The grocery store reminded me of H-Mart and had everything you could dream about for Korean items! Lots of random stores too, like a store for car accessories, a store for the Sanrio-alike characters, clothing, makeup, etc. I got a great keychain wallet from there! The best part of this mall was definitely the food. Seriously HELLA cheap for the amount of food you get, it is ridiculous! I was able to buy a big a$$ bowl of beef rib stew for $15, which could have easily fed 2-3 people, and then I ordered sondobu which was about $10 which easily also could have fed about 2-3 people! The bowls were huge and nobody ever finished their portions. But it was incredible! Loved how authentic the food was and loved the portion sizes. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to shop for anything, grocery shop, and then have a deliciously cheap (HUGE) meal and leave feeling so well fed you just dream about more of it the next day. Ample parking in the garage, close to bus lines, and pretty cool. Lots of things to shop for!

We were hungry and on our way to a Korean spa in late January, so someone looked up this place. I'm a big fan of food courts when traveling with a large group because people can choose what they want and there are more choices. When we arrived, I was pleased to see that the meals all looked good and the food court seemed popular with local Koreans, many of whom were dressed in their church outfits still on late Sunday morning with Cake House coffee cups. After checking out the main options and banchan, we opted to get dishes from the two Korean places next to Noodles Plus (their names were written in Hangul so I don't know what they said). Everything we ordered tasted pretty good, although the servings were MASSIVE and in hindsight we really should have split the meals. I got a chicken and rice dish which was okay but I preferred the galbi and jajangmyeon more. I wish we'd had a chance to explore after eating...I would have gone to the supermarket and Cake House. But the girls had Kspa appointments so off we went with our bellies full of kimchi and other delicious Korean food for some sauna and scrub fun.

It's s bit dumpy and dirty and shops are kind of sad looking. Unless you have a specific thing you must have that's being sold here, there's really no reason to come here. This place have been here for a long time and have not improve or change at all. It's like back to 1999. I guess K-town I'm general has not improved, other than more coffee shops and massage place. LA sucks.

I love this place. It's clean, it's bright, and there's so many stores to choose from... My favorite thing is the food court! We took my baby to get jia jia mien with her uncle. Very fun, and so many food stalls to choose from!

Very clean and nice. Got to my appointment early. Gave me a chance to walk around n bought Kim Bap from the grocery store. Able to purchase items I enjoy cooking n eating. Just saying. Great selection of items and the best was the Huge Large Live Abalone at $35.99 biggest abalone I've seen in a long time, as in 35 years ago long

It is a fun place to visit.... plenty to keep you busy. There are better places to source most of the food and products you can purchase there but very convenient. Good place for people watching...

The food court in this mall has affordable Korean food. I can't eat the food here for several reasons. 1) They don't have brown rice 2) The mul naengmyun served in the restaurant here only offers potato noodles. Higher end restaurants like Chosan Galbee and Soowon Galbi offer buckwheat mool naengmyun. And because most Korean food courts serve bad carbs, I can't eat here, but back in the day when I enjoyed bad carbs, this place was good to eat.

The amount of times I've PASSED THIS MALL IS CRAZY!!!! I never knew this was a mall, just a random building which I never paid any attention to. Granny and I went in for the some coffee beans for her friend and the selection is huge! But, she didn't find the one her friend drinks hahaha. I wouldn't say it was packed, but there was plenty of bodies shopping around. I love how everything is organized and easy to read, just like a regular smegular grocery store. Social distancing is also in forced. When you walk in, stay on the 1st floor and go all the way towards the back of the mall, there is a longgg line that wraps around the parking garage for people waiting to get into a specific store. One security guard stands there to make sure that only a few people go into that small store at a time and everyone is at least 6' apart. If you're like my granny, a curious cat, you can still technically walk up the escalator and go to the 2nd floor, but every single shop is closed. Even, the ones that are technically open and have their lights on, they're not allowing in-shopping. I also appreciate how there's hand sanitizer stands all over the place, so no excuse not to clean em hands! and English labels on a few items in the store.

We were in the area and saw Koreatown Galleria from afar as we were driving. Since we were hungry, we decided to stop by to check out the food court, supermarket, and the stores. We had never been to this galleria before but it seemed to be one of the smaller gallerias in the area. Just going into the parking structure took a bit of time because we were left turning it while others were right turning. We were thankful to find parking quickly. There is are a few selections of vendors in the food court, but none too many stood out to us. We did end up eating at Yooni Table because of the price and the portions. There were many people there during lunch time, especially those who worked nearby. Overall, we didn't care for the stores located inside the Galleria but did like the floor with the supermarket. I did enjoy the natural light coming in from the ceiling as it naturally lit up the Galleria. Overall, I wouldn't return but it is a nice alternative if one wants to grab food from the food court or needs to go to the supermarket. It is also pretty clean, so no complaints here.

I purchased a box of Korean grapes for ($19.99) this evening to find out they had mold growing inside indovidual bags (see photos). This is not the first time I found same issues with boxed fruits sold at this grocery...so it is partially my fault wasting money here again. Even since I found hair in some of their banchan (korean side dish made at this grocery) I stopped shopping here for a few months... I will stop coming to the Galleria permanently.

They have a great selection of Korean food and the flavors are very authentic! The vegan options are slim, but once found they taste amazing. The supermarket was also authentic and filled with everything needed to recreate your favorite Korean dishes. Boutiques also provide a good selection of great Korean skincare products! Highly recommend.

Stopped by during a weekday. It's unfortunate that because of Covid, the stores are mostly close. The food stalls are close as well. Not much there. Clean and good parking space at least.

Love Galleria. I always go to the same place in the food court and order their galbi. I love it. Lots of stores with lots of stuff.

I have no idea how this place got 5 star rating. A big mall w a whole of nothing special in it. Even the food court didn't appeased me.

Just spent a couple of hours here. Can't believe how good the Korean food was at the food court. We had the bulgogi from one of the vendors and it came with an array of delicious sides, plus seaweed soup. Delicious. We stocked up on masks and other Kbeauty essentials and of course adorable stuff from the stationary stores. Got some cool shoes. The clothing shops were overpriced and not great. Our last stop was boba and taiyakai, which are these little warm fish shaped waffles, stuffed with a warm custard. Both were insanely good. Honestly this place rocks, because the parking is in an attached garage and it's free. So it's a one stop shop and it is so worth it. Can't wait to go back.

Nice shopping area and good food. If you're not Korean/Asian, they will stare at you and store owners will follow you. I understand it is because I am not Korean, but it is a little annoying and a turn off of coming here lol.

I usually come here only for the food since there is so much variety at my fingertips. This time, my fam and I knew we wanted Jin Heung Ghak, the Chinese food, but we came here instead of their actual restaurant location since we had kids and didn't want to bother other patrons. This open sitdown area allowed the kids to be loud and to run around without being TOO bothersome. We got the jjajang, neu reungji tang, and beef tang soo yook. Always yummy. The bathroom has a slot for coins but it's actually unlocked so feel free to use it as often as you'd like! There's ALWAYS water on the sink though so don't lean in too closely while washing your hands or you'll end up with a huge water stain on your shirt like I did. The market is always freezing ofc because of all the freezers but it has good variety and good prices. The women trying to give you their products to sample and to buy are always friendly and talkative, not just to get your services but just because they want to yell at you in their loud voices and get you to crack a smile for them. Cute. I used to go to the small makeup counter next to the market for my fake eyelashes and general makeup but just go downstairs on the first floor to the actual makeup store since there is more variety and better pricing. I always choose convenience over everything else and in the few instances that I walk into the larger store afterwards, I always regret it. Also, outside in the garage area, there is a magician who will fix up your shoes like no other for amazing prices. If you're a heel-wearing stomper like I am, you should come here to fix up the bottoms of your heels.

I really won't recommend this living story place because I bought blankets & two pillows cost about $600. but pillows is somehow uncomfortable it get hurt my neck so I called the store but couldn't reach them for a while (covid19 close store) so I went to the store & ask about is there any suggestions but the way person talk to me back is unexpectedly rude & didn't care about anything. He told me " Yes some one like that some one don't like that so what??? That how he dealing with the customers. I didn't ask him for a return or refund it at all that time. Just need to hear any word like " sorry to hear that ...or any other recommendations. Anyway I won't recommend this store!

When it's not too busy, I would like to try again because the food was good and the portion was really big. Avoid 12-2 or the wait is more than 30mins.

In the heart of K Town, go there for lunch, so many small meals from different restaurants owners. From tofu hot pot to sushi, all your favorites Korean BBQs. So many choices to pick from, it also have a market if you prefer to cook at home. Coffee house and many shopping centers in the same place.

It had a little bit of everything and the food court food was tasty. I was happy there was a Korean bookstore to get stuff for my mom,

Very good food court & supermarket. I'm not much of a shopper so I came here strictly for the food. The food court is located on the 4th floor and has around 10 different vendors. They all try their best to differentiate from each other but there's still some overlapping (mostly involving BBQ meats). We tried food from 3 different vendors and they were all very good and surprisingly cheap. This is definitely the kind of place in which you have to return several more times in order to sample all the different goodies from the vendors. The supermarket is located in the basement and is easily one of the most unique ones I've seen. It has an impressive selection of cold dishes (banchans) and other ready to eat items along with the usual supermarket items. The supermarket is very clean and organized. Staff is also friendly. Overall, this is a well-run shopping center with plenty of parking spots. Highly recommend.

I'm glad we checked this place out. Looked around the stores. Everything seemed overpriced. I did a lot of window shopping. I do appreciate the bakeries, food court, and market. The Galleria Market was my favorite part of the whole Koreatown Galleria experience. Plenty of yummy food stuff in there. Affordable. One store that really stood out was Giga Gifts. The employees were so friendly and helpful. Their personality really stood out. Would I be back to visit Koreatown Galleria? Not really. Only if we stayed somewhere nearby.

My all-time favorite mall in K-town! This place has everything: market, beauty stores, clothing stores, bakery, etc. I mostly come here for groceries, especially for the seafood, since it's so fresh! Mall is very spacious, fetching, and there's also a food court, on the second floor, with varied options. Parking is free and has lots of space! Come visit sometime, it's abundant in resources to fulfill your necessities!:)

My job is on Olympic so I always take the 728/28 to and from Koreatown. The bus stops in front of the mall so I thought I would give this place a try. The galleria is 3 story mall with all things Korean. They have a Korean grocery store on the bottom floor and and food court on the top. Everything else in between is cafes, music shops, clothes shops etc. If you're into Korean products and K-pop music, this place is for you. I was hungry after work so I went to the food court and grabbed some Korean BBQ. It's pricey, but you get a lot for what you paid for. They have all kinds of Korean foods and even some Chinese food. I wanna come back and try other foods and the cake place they have. I only had money to spend on food.

This review only applies to the grocery store! I love Asian food, and I've never been disappointed going there. I honestly don't know why I don't visit this place more often as it is a welcoming departure from my usual grocery routine (trader's joes and Ralphs). Where do I begin? This place is all about OPTIONS! So many options! It has such a large/diverse seafood (fresh and frozen) selection: crabs checked! Muscles checked! Octopussy, checked, mackerel, dry fish, dashi checked! Sesame oil, rice, miso paste, not to mention their endless fresh vegetable selection! I always feel like Alice in wonderland going there, I could get lost in there for hours, wandering my way around, exploring everything the store has to offer. I love the vibe; it honestly feels like I am somewhere in Asia, and ok, I get it, Asia is a continent, but my point is only in LA can you experience this level of cultural diversity. This is what makes this city so unique, but I digress! Each time I go there, I'm always inspired to eat healthier. For example today, I went there to buy ingredients needed to make a hearty homemade miso soup but I ended buying so much more. This store has everything, miso paste, daikon radish, wakame seaweed, tofu (soft, firm, extra firm, organic), shiitake dashi, and even Korean pancake batter! It is truly comparable to the Asian version of Ralphs! Do yourself a favor, if you're looking to spice-up your grocery routine, and love Asian food, go check out this store! This place also has a sprawling FREE parking structure and a mall above the shop as well as a bakery/pastry shop and a food court located on the P5 level. In brief, a true culinary oasis in the heart of gritty Koreatown (K-Town) on Olympic blvd!

This place is awesome. The grocery store has tons of goodies at good prices, the food court has the best food court food I have ever had and awesome options that are large portions at good prices. The stores sell super cute Asian stuff at reasonable prices and pretty good quality. Restrooms were relatively clean as well. Nothing to complain about. Great place. Spent 3 hours here and wish we could come back again

Love Korean food. The stores sell a variety of items you can purchase and enjoy from necessities to day to day items. The options of shopping and great food is a great balance that allows you to have shopping time to burn off the great food you have enjoyed.

I really enjoy this place. They have cute little shops all around, a really large super market on the bottom floor and a really really good court on the top floor. I always try and stop by anytime I am in the area just because I love the environment/culture it brings, and Ofcourse the legit food court. Worth the visit if you haven't been here. Highly recommended
