Koreatown Plaza has everything you could want. You can explore a variety of shops offering clothing, cosmetics, health products, home goods, jewelry, and the best food court in town. Parking is for a fee, but they validate at most stores and some of the eateries. It has the best of Korean cuisine for every budget. You can have great noodles and spend less than 15$. The wide variety of restaurants, from sizzling street food and noodle soups to crispy katsu and savory dumplings are the reason we often go. We love to have lunch or dinner there. The people that work there are so nice and will help you, especially in the shops. I am often looking for the latest comic for my grandson and they are always there to help. They keep the entire mall spotless and comfortable. It is a great time. read more

+ Bustling Korean commercial area. Lots of coming and going. Nice place to take a break from the downtown LA hustle. - The restrooms in the food court were completely closed, so I had to search a bit farther. If they have to do maintenance, they should avoid doing so during such busy hours. + Nicole's Coffee Shop was kind enough to validate my parking without me buying anything. I decided to support their business anyway. - The food court is very limited on hydrating, healthy drinks. I had barely walked around inside the Plaza for 15min when suddenly all the lights went out. Inside H-Mart was so dark. I ran outta there. Sunlight still shown through the windows, thankfully. Everyone was confused. I rushed back to my car in the parking garage and booked it outta there. Thankfully the gatekeeper's barricade arm was staying up (so my validated parking ticket didn't matter) so I could drive off quickly before the exit became a bottleneck. Turns out West LA had a blackout... the one time I ever visit LA! Shame, cuz I wanted to walk around Koreatown Plaza a little more before heading to the next checkpoint in my itinerary. read more

Koreatown Plaza - News: West LA power outage on Saturday, Nov 8, 2025. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I loveee this mall and plaza, We used to come here with my Mom and Grandma a couple of times too. They have Hmart and a bunch of fun little stores and kiosk's. They have underground parking and it's pretty busy all the time so just be mindful of that part. But they have this delicious Chinese restaurant also inside we used to eat at so good, they also have this delicious bakery too next to Hmart which we always stop at. My family and I followed my sister here and we had a nice time just hanging out and looking around and shopped at Hmart of course for her kids and for our stuff too. I really like coming to this mall it's nice and spacious and clean. Stairs and elevator access we used the elevator much easier lol. The employees here are always pretty friendly too which I appreciate. If you never been to this mall come check it out. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

I didn't really get to explore throughout the whole mall but it gave me being in Korea vibes lol.. came here for H-mart and was surprised to see it was in a small plaza mall. Then as we entered I noticed it was mainly all Korean stores that we passed by. The place does look old and a little ran down. And the elevators wasn't working when we was there. We had to use the escalators since we parked upstairs but didn't even kno that lol. We passed by a Korean skincare stand that looked really popular or maybe they had an event cus it was a line of girls. We went to another store that sold needohs and squeeezy squishes but they was way too fuckin overpriced and tbh I couldn't tell if they was the legit real ones or not so passed on that. Then the food court was probably the best part of the mall that we explored besides H-mart. I went to use the restroom there and it didn't look too clean. The food court had so many different little eateries I wanted to try them out but we was already going to a noodle place after. I should've just tried it out anyway cus the noodle place we went to was mid af lol. Maybe next time we come back I will! read more

This is a K-pop fan's dream! There's several Kpop stores and other Korean stores. I went to one of the K-pop stores to buy some BTS merch and I found items that I don't normally see at the Kpop stores in Seattle. The prices are not bad. The attendants are helpful. I wouldn't love to come back here the next time I'm in town. read more

Koreatown Plaza - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The good: This is a Korean mall with a H-mart market and food court downstairs and cafes, clothing, toy and appliance stores spanning 3 stories. The food court is all Korean food and is neat and orderly. There are fun claw machines inside for kids. The top story has a cute cafe and so does the entrance floor (2nd). The bad: The toy store by the food court was so expensive. They didn't sell the display toys and a plastic toy fish aquarium the size of two palms was $100. The interesting: The interior feels nostalgic because it looks like it hasn't been updated since it was built in the late 80s. It reminds me of all the other California malls I went to as a kid in the 90s. The pink and green tile floors, the glass elevator, the escalators, the gold handrails and the skylight really got me feeling nostalgic. This was a time capsule! read more

The Koreatown plaza shopping center is located in Ktown. I found it's convenient with a large parking garage attached, and most merchants would offer parking validation. The cellar reception is terrible inside, and you can barely use your phone here. read more

This mall is a hidden gem but it is poorly maintained. Both up escalators have been out of operation 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. read more

This has an Hmart, a huge food court with amazing well priced Asian food w great portions, many cute little stores too. Free parking and many levels but make sure you get it validated at the store. Free bathrooms. read more

Fun trip to Koreatown Plaza to check out their food court. We arrived at 11:30 to beat the lunch rush. Tables filled up fast! We tried shrimp dumplings from the dumpling vendor, pork and fish from the tonkatsu vendor, and stewed mackerel from one of the stew vendors. My favorite bite was the shrimp dumplings, with the tonkatsu plate a close second. Come with friends and share some delicious dishes! All well priced. Took a quick look in some shops but need to return to check out more. Free 3 hour parking in the structure with validation. read more

I was so excited to visit this place for the first time and unfortunately all of that shattered right when I entered the store called "la belle". Not even a second I entered the store one of the ladies was following my every move. She was giving me a death stare(her eyes wouldn't move off me) at every item I touched, Im not sure if she was racially profiling me because I saw her be very friendly to other customers except me. Thankfully the lady at the counter was kind but that first lady ruined my whole mood. Another horrible encounter I had the same day was when I was about to enter the elevator, this older lady shoves/slams her shopping cart at me and my family. I literally cannot make this up! I lost my appetite after that... I cannot come back to a place where non-Koreans aren't welcomed. I was really hoping to like this place:( read more

We came around 3pm on NYE looking for a late lunch! We were excited to find out about this place which has a food court in the plaza! There's an H Mart and a bakery once we got off the elevator after we parked our car. ( there's parking validation from any stores in the plaza ) We had to the food court and were overwhelmed with the selection they had! Each of us chose a different restaurant and we shared the food. We tried Young Dong, LOL and Ellie Julie. Everything was good! We then went to H Mart to get drinks . We were quite full and walked around the plaza. There are alot of clothes stores. We were glad we found this plaza! Highly recommend the food court! read more

I love the food court at this plaza. There's a large variety to choose from with great pricing and little wait times. Parking is always easily accessible, validation is required and is free with any purchase anywhere within a 2 hour stay. We always stop by during our trips to LA specifically for Cheesetella and Photoism but there's many restaurants and stores to shop. read more

Parking at Koreatown Plaza is fairly easy. While it isn't free anymore, at $2 / hour, I find their parking structure quite affordable. In addition to H Mart, there are many small businesses there from hair salons to cosmetics to bakeries. If you have a loose hour or two around Koreatown, I encourage a visit. Want to make parking free? Browse any of the small businesses or H Mart inside, make a purchase, and get validation! :) Some places even offer four hour validation. read more

I grew up in Koreatown all throughout the 90s and very glad this place is still around. Also glad they'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! read more

The perfect little mall to find everything in Korean. From acupuncture to clothing to skin care to H Mart. So much fun.

The stores in this mall are really expensive but the food court and the marketplace is worth the trip! If you and your friends can't decide on a restaurant, just come here and there are tons of options for food! You can get validations in parking from eating here too read more

From groceries to skincare and dinning restaurants just to name a few! Go! read more

A time capsule! Welcome back to 1991! Koreantown Plaza from the outside looks drab and un-inviting ! However don't judge a book by its cover they say, once you park in the structure and enter the plaza it's a different world! Full of energy and people on the weekends-it a happening place! The weekdays when I been here is a little more calmer and quiet. Seriously though, this place hadn't changed in appearance since the 90s! Kinda charming in a way. H-Mart and the International Food court are the attraction, but the plaza had so much more. A cool place to visit and explore in K-town. read more

If you're looking for Korean food, this is the place to go. There's so much variety! All Korean, including fast & fried stuff, castellated cakes too! It gets loud & noisy during lunch time on a Sunday, so be prepared! But it's worth it. There are even cafes, a bread shop and H Mart on the same level. For the parking structure, tickets can be validated at the food stalls, but the gate was up when we arrived, so no fee! Yay! read more

Koreatown Plaza - Seafood flat noodle soup - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had read about the Plaza before visiting and was intrigued. This Plaza was worth being in the Los Angeles traffic to visit. Free underground parking with validation. The day we went, parking was free, no tickets were distributed. There are three floors of specialized Korean shopping. Super clean environment and fairly quiet. There is a nice Korean food court with 12 establishments. They all looked good, had big helpings of food and staff were cheerful. Definitely worth the visit if you are in the area. Free 30 minute WiFi. read more

What a great find in koreatown. They have so many amazing stores and the atmosphere is so Christmas that you feel like everyday is a holiday. The selections of clothes and food is great. I love the little bakery with its fun treats. They have small kiosks with all kinds of toys for children. Great place to shop read more

This is a cool little shopping mall. It has 3 floors inside the mall and a bunch of small shops, restaurants, clothing stores, and a grocery store too. I went here around 1:30pm on a Saturday and it was a little crowded. The grocery store I noticed they have inside this mall is HMart! I thought that was so cool how they have a grocery store inside of a small mall since I don't see that much. Only thing I noticed about that grocery store was that it was smaller than other places I've been to. This mall also has a nice water fountain area that a bunch of people use to sit and rest near. It was cool since this mall doesn't have too many benches to sit at and sitting by the fountain was fun. Another thing I liked about this mall was the food court! They have a good variety of restaurants to choose from and many tables to dine at in that room. I'd recommend this place! There's many stores to visit here and sometimes this mall has events inside, such as events where you can spin a wheel and win something. It was also clean inside and the food court had a good variety of restaurants to choose from! Next time I go here, I'll be sure to get something to eat at the food court! read more

Koreatown Plaza is a three-level indoor shopping center and 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 with validation (e.g. H Mark) up to 3 hours. Basement level: H Mart, Korean bakery, K-pop music store, food court, etc. 1st floor: Clothing shops, a massage shop, 2nd floor: ABC Appliance, hair salons, etc. H Mart here isn't as good as Galleria Market and the food court is located in basement level without an outdoor patio, but this shopping plaza is much bigger than Koreatown Galleria and the appliance store on the 2nd level was a pleasant surprise. Sono Felice by Christine (https://www.yelp.com/biz/sono-felice-hair-salon-los-angeles-3) on the 2nd level was one of the more popular business in this shopping plaza. Overall I have a slight bias on Koreatown Galleria over Koreatown Plaza, but I am still a fan of Koreatown Plaza due to decent selection for food court, an appliance shop with all of essential needs, and more Korean clothing shops to check out. read more

I came to see what's new with the Korean Plaza has been a while, but I still like going to the grocery stores and competitions on each floor is good. I have to say the service is great and can easily over be over looked if you don't know Korean. The place had a good amount of goods that gives options for gifts and drinks. Along with hair salons that the top one seem a lot more attractive when I saw it. I imagine the value of the style is more impressive when their style is above average. Overall I liked coming in for a drink and have to say they have to fix some of the plumbing in the restrooms. read more

Visited this plaza with my mom and daughter. Huge H-mart at the end that we shopped at before we left and walked around the plaza. Cute stationary shop, music shops, clothing stores, salons, food spots, etc. Best find was a cute photo shop (Photoism) where my daughter and I got some cute pics in with Sun-jae! The photobooth itself was very spacious and you have several options on the backgrounds including kpop idols and there was a stool in there for the vertically challenged (like my daughter) and there is a hand held remote which makes posing and taking pictures easier. It was a fun afternoon! read more

In Koreantown, must stop by somewhere. Free parking. 3 stories. Clothing, beauty, and HMart. Prices for ready-made food seem to be cheaper here. Mall bakery was a bit expensive. Their clothing sizes seem to be petite sizes. Saw this rice cake bakery that seemed to be interesting. Wanted to buy but didn't. There's a food vourt. Lots of friends gather. So many choices to eat. Next time come back to eat. That cheesecake was tempting. read more

The oldest Korean big plaza in LA!! There's not much to do here, but the food court seems better than at other plazas! While many restaurants have popped up in different places, the advantage of this plaza is that you can enjoy a variety of foods at a consistent level all in one spot! My choice is dumplings and tonkatsu!! read more

The food court. The food court. The food court. Corn dogs, tonkatsu, dumplings, cheese, sushi, bibimbap, beef bone soup, pho, etc. are all there.

Located in the middle of Koreatown on Western, this mall is aptly named Koreatown Plaza. Parking is free with validation. Technically it's free 3 hours, but they usually do not strictly enforce it. The building is old, but it has all the essentials for Koreans. There are restaurants and a food court with authentic Korean food. If you have never tried Korean pastries, the bakeries must be on your list. The supermarket is on the opposite end of the food court on the 1st floor. There is Hanmi Bank and Verizon, as well. read more
