They carry many brands that are currently trending on TikTok, which made it exciting but also a little hard to know where to start. I came in looking to add a few new makeup products to my routine, and Chloe was incredibly helpful. She guided me through finding the right shades and recommended products based on my preferences. I really appreciated how she adjusted her suggestions as we went along and let me try a variety of options from different brands. After I checked out, she even added several free samples to my bag, which was a nice touch. Overall, a great experience thanks to Chloe's attentive and personalized service!

I stopped by this store to buy something small quickly since I was in the neighborhood. The workers…read morehere greeted me nicely when I entered nicely, but when the person who helped me noticed that I am buying something small, her attitude immediately changed and gave me a rude attitude. She asked if I need something else, but I told her I will come back next time and buy more if needed. She rolled her eyes and gave me a rude attitude. I asked for a plastic bag to carry what I bought today in and she put the plastic bag on the cashier desk rudely (didn't even put my item in the bag). Later, she seemed like maybe she didn't want to show off rude so she told me to wait little. This place is so rude and they should be thankful for every customers whether they buy something big or small. Never coming back here again!!

Parking is a bit crazy but you can probably get some street parking pretty close by. Otherwise, you can come during the weekday and parking with be fine.

From sheet masks to popular foundations, they have almost every single brand and product that I've seen all over social media. Each product has a tester for you and prices are labeled on every single item. The workers weren't that friendly nor welcoming so that might be good if you don't like being bothered. Decent.

Staff has always been friendly and kind, keeping in mind speaking Korean is helpful if you are looking for something specific. It's NOT necessary, just helpful. They have so many Korean focused products mostly in home goods like kitchen items, tons of bedding, rice cookers and kimchi fridges, but also things like makeup, skincare and clothes. Well priced house slippers with a lot of options! The entire second floor is electronics and more expensive goods, which I hear are not the best to buy here. I usually stick to cheaper items, more kitchen and cooking related needs at Kim's. They have a pretty strict return policy which I hear is a bit risky for more pricey items. I went in specifically for Makgeolli supplies and was so happy to find the pot & cups I needed, at nearly half the price of amazon! Support local stores instead of shopping online! I'm definitely a fan of Kim's Home Center and will come here for all my related needs in the future.

Many of their products are made in Korea, which I loved! I came for something very specific and not only did they have the product, it was much cheaper compared to what I can find online. I ended up buying more than what I came here for because I couldn't pass on the high quality slippers, buckwheat pillows, and dishwashing gloves! This place has a small parking lot attached, but they also have another parking lot just across the street for overflow. They accept credit card as well!

I had lunch with my mom and halmoni and one of my halmoni's friends a few weeks back, and…read moreafterward, they went shopping at Western Baekhwajum and invited me to tag along. My halmoni has lost a lot of weight recently (she's 87 and shrinking rapidly), and my mom wanted to buy her some clothes at what she described as a Korean-style shijang by the Koreatown Plaza. I decided I wanted to see this, and blew off work for another hour to witness their spree. Western Baekhwajum was as described--a shopping mall made up of a maze of individual stalls, with clothes and accessories hung up high to entice a sparse crowd of exclusively Korean-from-Korea shoppers. The wares were definitely meant for ajummas and halmonis, bright colors and loose silhouettes, no identifiable overlap with current fashion trends. There was plenty for my halmoni, though, and I thought some of the things she got looked quite becoming on her. We ended up shopping at one stall with lots of good, comfortable clothes that she liked, and the ajumma running it was helpful and amiably pushy in that boisterous, hustling shijang vendor way--fishing out must-try finds, assuring us that her prices were good. I got the sense that the clothes were significantly more expensive than they would have been in Korea, but hey, they had to travel a long way to recreate Namdaemun Shijang in Koreatown. I'd recommend Western Baekhwajum for shopping with your halmoni. It's not like anywhere else you've shopped in L.A.

My family jokingly calls this place the "Nam Dae Moon Shi Jang of Koreatown"; if you know about the…read moreNam Dae Moon market in Seoul, you'll get what I mean. There are a lot of little stalls where Korean folks sell their wares. Most shops are targeted toward middle age Korean ladies, but there are a few stalls meant for younger women, men, and children. There are also random specialty shops selling: underwear, hats/hair clips/accessories, makeup, flowers, a little market, watches/watch repair, and shoes. There's also an alteration lady who has pretty reasonable rates. I wouldn't say this is a "hip" place to go. I have made an occasional find here, though. Parking is pretty easy. They have a private lot in the front and in the back; I've never had trouble finding a spot.
