Grocery store

This mall is a gem and has great restaurants, shops and grocery stores. Our kids love the fountain and the festive decorations around the holiday season.

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.

2nd floor food court (Apr 2022)

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.

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.

On the patio outside the food court!

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 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.

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!

More food court
Kev H.

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.

30 minutes waiting after order and silver persons are asking why?

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.

This is a picture of all the snacks we bought.

As of October 2020, they close at 9:50 PM and you can shop as long as you enter by 9:30 PM. You're required to wear a mask as you shop and they have hand sanitizer / wipes (sometimes they run out) by the shopping carts. All the banchan are… Read more

I grew up in Koreatown all throughout the 90s and very glad this place is still around. Also glad…read morethey've been taking a jab at social media. It deserves to be known. It's actually interesting to see a diverse crowd hang out here compared to back then when it was nothing but Korean people. The first floor retains most of the stores that existed back then too; Music Plaza which always had an insane selection of Korean music, the quaint coffee shop near the food court, the stationary store and bookstore near the elevator and of course the Food Court itself. Has the best prices of all sorts of Korean cuisine out there; I always gravitate towards the Dddukgook (Rice Cake Soup). The H-Mart used to be the mall's own market (called Plaza Market). I was a small kid back then, but it's quite congested as a grown adult over 6 foot tall. The layout is exactly the same from back then and I love it. There used to be a very tiny bakery next to the H-Mart on the left, but they have a much larger bakery on the right. The decor is still that same 80s-esque pink and teal tile, which I hope they never change. The second floor used to have this toy store that used to sell all sorts of Power Rangers and Pokemon toys. I miss it dearly, albeit I believe it was very overpriced back then lol. I believe it's the mail store now. The third floor used to have this appliance/electronics store called "ABC Plaza". It had literally everything from USA albums, Korean appliances, and a whole section for Japanese import games. As a kid it felt like paradise. I believe it's now turning into a gym, which is cool in itself. My wife bought me some Pokemon cards from that toy store near the food court, and it reactivated all my memories. Please stay around, K-Town Plaza!

This mall is a hidden gem but it is poorly maintained. Both up escalators have been out of…read moreoperation for 5+ months. The elevator has a 4-person limit and going over that will cause the elevator to become stuck and beep very loud (which is so sketchy). The permit listed on the elevator expired in 2023 as well. It's always lively and bustling with younger AND older generations of Koreans plus plenty of non-Koreans looking to explore the culture! As someone who has lived in Koreatown his whole life, this place is a pillar of Korean-American culture. By the way, cell reception is completely non-existent in many areas of the mall including H-Mart and the food court. Restrooms are on the first floor.

There was Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Jim Carrey even stayed hours after he needed to until he had spoken, taken pictures, and signed books for every single person who had waited in line for him. However, after the COVID pandemic they've noticeably stopped coming. Still, The Grove is a nice place to visit because it is so polished and touristy. There's the dancing fountain, free trolley, movie theater, shops and restaurants. Meanwhile, The Farmers Market is right next door, so you can easily walk there as well. It's a good place to kill time. Some stores are a bit on the pricey side, though. The trolley is a bit silly since the ride is so short. It takes longer to wait for the trolley than to just walk from one end of the mall to the other. It is a free novelty, though, so if you have nothing better to do, might as well. Recently, there was a parade and festival at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and I noticed several other people like me walking from there to The Grove since it's only around a 20 minute walk up Fairfax Ave. I think people decided to walk since parking at LACMA is $23 no matter what and we didn't want to pay it again. Parking at The Grove isn't cheap either, but it's easy and convenient since it's a huge multi-story parking garage with digital numbers that tell you how many spots are available on each level. My go to restroom is at the top level of Barnes & Noble, but there's also one at Farmers Market. The views of The Grove from the upper levels of Barnes & Noble are nice. There's also an onsite cafe on that level. Meanwhile, this Barnes & Noble is apparently one of the biggest in the US. Around the holidays, they put up one of the tallest Christmas trees in the US. They hang flying reindeer and a sleigh above the dancing fountain. They also put up a Santa house in the middle of the street where you can take pictures with Santa for a fee. One of the changes I didn't like around the dancing fountain, which is one of the few spots with trees and shade, is that they roped it off so that it became outdoor seating for the restaurants whereas before it was open to anyone. Even though I don't live near here anymore, I still end up visiting every now and then because of nearby festivals. At this point it's so familiar to me that as another reviewer had said "It's an LA staple."

Of course the main focal point, the water fountain and little park. There's plenty of parking in the massive covered parking structure. There's also valet at the lower level which is easier in my opinion. You can also park where the farmers market is but they have their own validation system. It's a pretty decent size shopping area which is all outdoor. The main department store which is Nordstrom and then you'll have all the other smaller chains stores. Plenty of dining options, more on the dine in style. If you're looking for something quick and easy, there's the farmers market a couple minutes walk. Of course there's the movie theatre which is great. The whole grove concept is similar to the Americana which is larger. Dining options, shops and of course the fountain. It's a staple in LA that's worth checking out.

I legit love coming here because it's just so gorgeous! Clean, always organized, the usual elderly grandpa patrolling around as security looking for those doing wrong, lol!

There is SO MUCH good at MaDang. Shopping, eats, the aforementioned coffee shop, bookshops...let me highlight a few favorites: ~ Heuk Hwa Dang - their ice cream and coffee is great, adorabley cute space! ~ H-Mart Supermarket - who doesn't love groceries?! lol ~ Beard Papa - cream puffs are nomz. ~ Daiso - I love deals and Daiso is full of them! ~Sul & Beans - Patbingsu deliciousness to amaze your out of town friends, lol. ~Somi Somi - Ah-Boong, a fish-shaped waffle cone filled with your choice of filling and topped with soft serve - similar to taiyaki and so good. Kpop Music Town K-Pop Store - self explainatory. Jung Kook army bias here. I been rocking with Kpop since Seotaiji and H.O.T. so I'll always be a fan. ~Aladdin Bookstore - friends always want to go here for Korean books while in town. ~Pelicana Chicken - KFC straight from Korea with great happy hour deals. ~CGV Cinema - movies in Korean! The fact that Korean shopping malls exist in KTown is truly dope af. I love MaDang, love bringing my out of town friends, and I'm truly a MaDang regular.

That being said, ROW DTLA is a dreamscape when it comes to filming content and just catching city vibes in a safe space. Located near the Arts District this space of buildings used to be utilized for the textile industry. With multi floored buildings creating rows of foot traffic on the ground this space is perfect for events, pop ups, and get togethers. It's one of the reasons why Smorgasburg is held here on Sundays. It's why on any given weekend there may be an event being held, whether it be to celebrate AAPI month or the different creatives in the area. This space is filled with homegrown businesses and unique shops to visit. One of my favorite places is Hightide which is a Japanese stationary and supplies shop. The vibes are immaculate and walking in really feels like being in a store in Japan. Another popular space is Scent Bar for those who love perfume and are aromaphiles. With plenty of small curated artists being featured in this apothecary of aromas, Scent Bar is a nice stop whilst visiting the Row. If you're looking for interesting and discussion worthy furniture A+R is a must, located at one of the ends of the Row. For good coffee with artistic vibes you got to check out GGET (Go Get Em Tiger). Next to that if you're looking for stronger waters is Flask & Field with smaller batch and independent distilleries and crafters. All of this and the parking is free for the first 2 hours. In LA, that's unheard of! And it's a large parking structure with modern infrastructure. Blessed. With all this, hopefully ROW DTLA will continue to grow with more businesses and still retain its charm as time marches forward.

Very clean, modern, spacious, and calming even with the crowds of people there. Felt like an oasis in LA. Though that comes with the price, seeing the businesses here. Yes they look nice but it's giving hoity toity performative LA folks vibe and I can see why rent to live in LA is so high. Nothing really piqued my interest as a non normie, but I'm sure if you are one or like these kind of non franchise, off label places, for normie looking, better quality clothes, home goods, etc. this is for you.
