What more can you ask for in a shopping plaza? There's Target, Marshall's, JCrew Factory, TJ Maxx,…read moreRoss, Nordstrom Rack, and Saks Off Fifth. I'm sure there are more, but these are the shops I visit and they're all great options. I was very sad to see Souplantation close, so please bring it back! Parking is $2 the first hour, and sometimes it's annoying to see larger cars parked in compact spaces. I'm not sure which shops validate for parking, but it's LA, it's not surprising to pay for parking wherever you go.

This review is not for the shops, but for the parking structure operated by Platinum Parking. I…read morewent for some holiday shopping at the Rack.

Whenever you enter the 2nd floor parking, there's a strong waft of cooking oil coming from downstairs.

This is a review specifically for the little plant store in the parking garage…read more It's a small store, the lady here sells quite a variety of plants. Prices range from $10 and up for her orchid selection. Good quality and just a sweet place that I can recommend to those who like plants!

Love that it has a parking garage so makes it easy when you have little ones on strollers and so fourth. We come here every Tuesday from 10-10:50 for Story/music Time with Ms.Chutney she's truly amazing and keeps the kids so entertained and they love singing along and it's interactive and love that before class starts she always has a small table with arts and craft for the theme of the week. She will have from Stamps, coloring sheets, Dot Dot paint and more. Little tip that I didn't know and it's a game changer..( after class they give you a 2 hr validation stamp card) when you leave the garage you add the one you got first and then add the validation one following and you get free parking. There is a huge grass area and that's where the class takes place. Depending on the weather we will move to the concrete area but class still goes on. It's such a fun spot to come with friends and family or just hang and read a book and grab a bite to eat.

Platform is a fun outdoor/indoor shopping center located in Culver City. I honestly hadn't heard…read moremuch about this shopping center until one of my favorite stores broadcasted that they would be having a pop up located here. Platform was fairly simple to navigate in many ways. Coming from Ventura county it was a little bit of a drive which was to be expected but luckily this center isn't far off the 405 freeway which did make this very easy to get to. Also the parking garage is clear and colorful (easy to find). Seemed safe enough and I felt comfortable leaving my car behind, haha, harder to say in some parts of LA these days. The parking garage was reasonable on pricing and it had an attendant so easy peasy. I appreciated that they had multiple maps and signage so you can find where you're heading with ease. This shopping mall is slightly more upscale, I said it. Not $$$$ price point but the restaurants and some shops are a little boujee for the average person. It's no rodeo drive but I could see this maybe not being the most accessible price point for the average person. We knew the content of the shops though so we were fine but did we blow a few hundred dollars, definitely. They had a nice ratio of clothing shops, to home goods, and restaurants/drink stalls. However, in grand total the amount of stores is slightly underwhelming. We walked this shopping center pretty quickly and were eager to see more cute shops. Felt a little empty in some ways but if you come here in mind of a few stores you know you want to see then your fine, this spot just wouldn't be on my regular shopping rotation as there isn't enough for me to see to justify the drive. Our favorite stores though were definitely Catbird (jewelry) and the Mojave Flea Trading Post (heard this was only a pop up store through 2023). I'm hoping they'll maintain the good stores and continue to get creative in bringing more to this center as it has potential and overall was a nice and chill environment for a girls shopping day.

This is specifically regarding the parking structure for the Platform. It's terrible, truly…read moreterrible. Came in on a Friday night to stop and pick up food at sweetgreen who validates. When I entered at 8:30 pm there was an attendant at the gate. When I left at 8:50pm there was no attendant and putting my validated ticket into the machine at the gate made me pay $2. Pressed on the call button resulted in no response. The next week on a Friday, I pull in around 8:25pm and there's an attendant there so I told her about my experience before (validated ticket with no attendant) and she was not very helpful but said that there needs to be an attendant for a validated ticket to work. So, I asked how long she'll be there until, which she said 10pm. I left 15-20 minutes after entering the structure. As I was pulling up the gate, I SEE HER WALKING AWAY FROM THE GATE. I waive at her with my ticket and she looks at me and shakes her head (sorry I can't help you) as she continues to walk away. WTF! This parking structure is absolutely ridiculous. The "complimentary 15 minutes" is also a joke because no one can get in and out in under 15 minutes. Don't go to the Platform if you have to use the structure to park.

Very cool, hip, shopping center on La Brea. This "mall" houses a large variety of retail, though…read moremostly hipster-type choices, and other fashion establishments (i.e. jewelry accessories & eyewear). There is also a hair salon, and even a restaurant named the Sycamore Kitchen. The parking, in the adjoined structure, is easy and extremely cheap. I also believe I've seen them doing contraction on some of the unused spaces to house more tenants in the near future. The most appealing aspect of this center, however, is the events the building management holds here; from live concerts on the top of the garage to food truck festivals, this place provides a lot of locally-sourced entertainment. There's no way this place will be kept a secret for long.

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!

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.
