Koreatown Galleria

While it lacks the size of Koreatown Plaza and the shine of newer shopping centers, the Koreatown Galleria’s bright, airy interior offers an alternative to the sometimes grimy streetscape near Western and Olympic. The mall itself is disappointingly small, though the food court and its adjacent outdoor balcony are worth visiting. But make sure to drop into the bottom floor supermarket, whether you need to stock up on Korean groceries or you simply want to scope out an entire wall of kimchi.
