Koreatown Galleria

I love this place! You get a great selection of korean dishes you can choose from. My favorite is the GamJaTang (Can’t remember the name of the vendor that sells it). They hook you up with a huge bowl of it. Pro Tip: If you get it to-​go they hook you up even MORE! However the down-​side is there is a $ 1 dollar additional charge for all to-​go orders anywhere in the food court.

I really enjoy this mall in Koreatown. I go to the book store for magazines since I have a really hard time finding Korean fashion/​lifestyle magazines that are affordable (and don’t take a month to ship). The music store has cute kpop merch and a great selection of CDs; I haven’t bought an actual CD in 10 years until I went there. I’ve been studying Korean for about 8 months and it has been very helpful for me to go there and *attempt* practicing it at the stores and food court area.

I absolutely love this mall and especially the supermarket that is located at the first level. If you love Kim Chi and authentic Korean food, this is the place to be. Their Kim Chi is freshly made and have many aisles of selections. I was definitely in heaven.
Clothings, kitchen and car accessories are available on the second floor. I did quite a bit of shopping myself.
Food court is located on the third floor. I wish I didn’t eat so much before coming here. There are approximately 6 – 10 vendors cooking traditional Korean food and they smell absolutely delicious.
Next time when I come visit, I’ll bring a bigger shopping bag with me as well as an empty stomach. Parking structure is also available and it is attached to the shopping mall.

The only reason I come to the Koreatown Galleria is for the market on the base floor, Cosmetic World, and the cute stationary stores on the third level. Otherwise, I rather go the Koreatown Plaza which is less than a mile away.
The stationary stores are cute, but I always feel like I’m being watches for some reason, but it’s probably because I’m usually the only person in there and for people-​watching purposes.
Everyone in the Cosmetic World store are so nice! I use Tony Holy face masks religiously and they are cheapest found here. Sephora and the Tony Holy site sells them for $ 7.99/2pk. Cosmetic World sells them for $ 1.99 each, and carries more variety in stock! If you love trying new brands and types of face masks, Cosmetic World is the way to go, especially with their premium skincare lines, makeup, and hair care.
The market on the first floor is too die for! Everything and anything you could possibly need and more. Love looking at the variety of products as it seems that I always find something new every time I visit.
Would be shopping at the market every week if I lived closer than I do already!

My fave Korean gallery so far. It’s got the best Cake Shop, the best grocery store and I say best because they are both always fully stocked and has large selection of stuff more so than other galleries with the same stores… Yeah.

Love the supermarket! And all the smaller side shops! One of the best places to go for your Korean market shopping experience

I came for novelties and just to look around, lots of fun gifts and things to try. Not China town but just as much fun I’m here for week day excitement so no crowds. Do you like to haggle it’s better if you do. I demanded 5 for phone charger hold up 5 fingers. They show 8 keep your 5 up like show down remember you don’t need it so no emotions .I scored deals.

If this shopping center didn’t house the Galleria Market on the first floor, it would receive two stars. Most of the shops and its food court are outdated. Parking can be a nightmare on weekends.

One of the newer, cleaner «gallerias» or Asian like, shopping centers in LA’s Koreatown. Some boutique and random assortment of stores from level 2 – 4, including an outdated food court at the very top.
The main attraction here is the market on the 1^st level. It is one of the most comprehensive and spacious that I’ve seen here in LA and it has everything Korean and food wise you will ever need.
In addition to your standard Korean supermarket, you can find a nice pharmacy and bakery on your way out to the 5 level parking garage next to the «galleria». Lots of people, easy parking, and great market indoors. What else can you really ask for?
If you need anything Korean to eat and/​or prepare, this is the place and one of the hubs of Ktown.

My family and I’ve been going to this place since the day it opened, and we are still fans, so that says something! To be honest, only the food court and market are worth the trip here, although some shops on the 5^th floor are useful for shopping for gifts (cute little Sanrio-​type of gifts). I’ve also found their pharmacy, located on the ground floor next to the market, to always be very friendly and reasonably priced for OTC products.
Compared to other grocery stores in KTown, I would say Galleria is definitely a cleaner option. Some things are cheaper elsewhere, but I still prefer Galleria for its consistency in providing a clean experience. Galleria’s produce is always super fresh (and well organized)! They’ve also recently renovated their frozen section — now it looks much more slick than before!
You can get everything you ever dreamt of in terms of Korean groceries here — ranging from the pre-​packaged stew packs to 1000 choices of kimchi to live fish caught directly from Korea itself.
The only thing that prevents a 5 star rating is the parking lot, which never fails to epitomize the horrendous LA traffic and all the stereotypes you can think of. Then, you’ll enter the market, where the navigation and traffic of shopping carts also epitomize the horrendous LA traffic and all the stereotypes you can think of. But if you can look past these elements, you will learn that the pros far outweigh the cons. Conclusion: I love the Galleria, and I hope you do too! This is definitely worth a trip if you are in need of Korean goodies of all sizes and shapes.

Out of all the korean malls in koreatown, id rank this one 2^nd place. It is fairly newer than the other plazas around LA so it is still pretty clean. The only reason I cant give 5 stars is because besides the market and the food court, there really is no reason for me to come here, unless you’re an old lady looking for skin care products or a nice fur coat to go along with your cleansed skin.
As for the market, it is nicely placed in the lower level, giving it room to be quite large. So thats a plus.
Theres only one place in the food court I always go back to and thats the place with «Chinese» food. Its so cheap but delicious. Honestly, all the restaurants are pretty darn good.
Nice little fountain in the center too.

Besides the parking lot, everything else was pretty cool. I was in L.A. for a few days and thought to stop by since the last time I visited, this building consisted of just one hello kitty store and the supermarket downstairs. The market downstairs is a crowded madhouse with old Korean ladies running over your feet with shopping carts but the prices were great compared to what I would pay in TX.
Since I only traveled with one carry on, I wasn’t able to buy some more merch :(but next time I visit, I will leave some more room for shopping.
TIP: Food court: Prices are fair and the portions at the food court are huge, like San Antonian huge.

If you want to experience Korea, come here. There are a lot of random stores in the multistory mall but the busiest area is the grocery store downstairs. The grocery store is packed and crammed with people swarming through the aisles everywhere. They give out good samples like curry, rice wrapped in seaweed, ramen noodles, etc. You could literally get full from all the samples they give out.
I live on the westside and find that the grocery prices are noticeably cheaper here. Whenever I have guests over, I do a diy Korean BBQ and buy all my ingredients here. They even sell the dduk wrap!
There is a parking garage but it is literal hell. Imagine all of LA’s worst drivers competing for parking spots in a cramped lot. If you have a nice car, don’t ever drive it here.

For some reason I like the galleria in Vermont better. Idk why but I feel like the one in Vermont one has more sale items and more items in stock. I won’t be going to this one more often cause the parking is pretty tough too. The other one seems to have a not less crowded parking spot.

Kinda smallish. It’s a almost a mall. It’s more like a wing of a regular mall with a food court and grocery store. The parking lot is packed but hardly anyone is at the mall. They’re all at the grocery store or having lunch in the food court.
Did not like the selection of the food court. Ordered dumplings for $ 8. There’s a $ 1 take out fee for some reason. Dumplings were good, a little under seasoned. If it weren’t for the soy dipping sauce it would’ve tasted bland. The skin was nice and fresh and taut. I appreciated how they used fresh dumpling skin.
Ordered fermented rice drink from the boba place up there. It tasted old and reeked of artificial sugar. The rice was broken down and rubbery. $ 4. Not worth it at all.
All the prices here cost as much as any restaurant in k-​town. I recommend you just going to a restaurant for lunch. Don’t come here just for the food.
Downstairs there’s a clothing shop owned by two girls. They were friendly and nice and really helpful. My mom liked a dress but the buttons busted off in her hands. The lady got her a brand new dress still wrapped in a package! It was only $ 10 a dress too!
Come here if you need free parking and need to get out of the heat. It’s nice to browse for an hour but it’s super small and badly in need of a face lift.

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.

Decided to give my parents a tour of LA and KTown as they’ve always wanted to check out KTown. Our first stop was Koreatown Galleria. We parked in the structure behind the mall and walked in. It’s a pretty small mall but it houses a lot of Korean based products, goods and groceries. Some of the items were ridiculously expensive though. The top floor has shops but the more important information is that the top floor contains the food court. Here you can order a seolleongtang or other Korean goodness and eat at your heart’s desire. We didn’t eat here as we wanted to explore more stuff before eating. We decided to go to the bottom floor and this was where the fun started.
At the bottom of the mall is a huge supermarket full of Korean goods and food. Some packaged and some pre-​made. We were looking around and I decided to get food for my birthday here. Got some Chamisul soju and Makgeolli. Also got some soondae for lunch. The produce here was pretty fresh but on the more expensive side. The supermarket was clean and well kept and all the deli items made me drool a bit.
The workers here could smile a bit but overall they were nice.
Overall my parents thought it was okay and I also thought it was okay. It’s a bit of a drive and out of my way to get here but if I’m in the area, I wouldn’t mind getting food from the deli and some soju.

My favorite Koreatown Mall! I’ve frequented K-​town for over 25 years, so I’ve seen my share of the different malls and plazas… here’s why:
1. Always clean… whenever I visit there is always tp and covers in the bathrooms, the floors are clean or if there is a mess or spill there’s usualy a caution sign up (as they should). The different stores are pretty orderly and the tables in the food court are bused pretty consistantly.
2. Lots of light — the place is flooded with good natural light.
3. Cute venders — there is usually on display near the water fountain various art from different age groups for art contest (some are so impressive). Cute toy or book venders etc and they are usually not pushy about buying/​trying their products.
4. Cake House — super delicious korean bakery! Everything is good… their sandwiches (grab and go) are fresh, delicious and filled with either egg, potato, chicken or tuna salad on a buttery croissant or their fresh baked bread. They also have macaroons and fantastic korean iced coffee.
5. Variety of stores — great selection, everything one might need plus the market is great.

Best Korean Place in Los Angeles! This place has it all! If you are ever in need of Korean food or products, come to the Koreatown Galleria. This place is HUGE. Best feature of this place is the Korean Market on the ground level. The store is just like an Albertsons /​Ralphs, but has almost all Korean items. The selection is good, the food is fresh, the items are fun to eat.
Be sure to check out the bakery and hot food items in the back of the store. They are always pumping out some delicious smelling items! From fresh kim chee to hwe dol bap (sashimi salad) to macarons and pasteries, this place has it all.
There is tons of parking, but be ready to fight for a stall when it is busy. The drivers here aren’t the best or nicest. Be ready to have patience in the store during peak hours. Some of the customers can also get aggressive. Use your cart!

This place isn’t too big as a definition for a mall, but they’ve big Korean supermarket with tons of authentic food and stuff from Korea. Bought korean instant noodle that i couldn’t find here in Sparks (Korean market) but too bad they don’t carry the chicken flavor i wanted to.
All the food are fresh, i just couldn’t get out from this place lol. They’ve some fast food ready to buy too here and rice cakes.
Most employees seems doesn’t talk in english, because i asked for the noodle, they didn’t understand /​they talked with me with Korean languange.
Prices aren’t too bad. Grocery location is near with parking lot, so shopping then get out to te parking lot.
For the mall, they’ve 2 floors and foodcourt with korean food of course. I’ll be back for the grocery and the bulgogi next time :)
I don’t know the name of the food booth because it’s in Korean, but the spicy bulgogi was so… yummy, served with soup, bowl of rice, and kimchi and some other. Good price $ 15 something and if you are a small eater like me, so you can share the food
