While it was great to see only two empty storefronts, most businesses sell overpriced to super overpriced products to stay afloat. The mall is dated-looking, with a defunct water fountain, but the open second floor bathed in natural sunlight gives off soothing, chill vibes. The food court has about 9 places, mostly Korean but also a Vietnamese and Japanese katsu options. We ate fresh bi bim naeng myun (very chewy buckwheat noodles), ja jang myun (chewy noodles with black bean sauce and a nice amount of minced beef or pork), and fish cake on a skewer. Some places charge for a to go container and the cranky employee at the naeng myun place (the name's only in Korean, Kang San Myun Ok, refused to sell me to go in separate containers. Excuse me for wanting to separate the chewy noodles from the broth, as the noodles will lose elasticity from a long drive. The food court had many televisions broadcasting a World Cup match. There eating area is spacious with tables are cleared and wiped quickly. The outdoor dining are was closed the day we went. The supermarket is huge, organized and has the viral fruit-shaped ice cream that I adore, for $4.99 each. There's a Cake House bakery with mildly sweet Asian pastries and hot beverages. Their cakes are very expensive and beautiful. Cake slices are also sold. The mall has women's clothes, skin care, a bank, bookstore, children's toys, handbags and jewelry, and knick-knacks or collectibles. There's even a flower shop on a parking level right by the supermarket entrance. We were surprised to spend about 4 hours there. It's easy to spend a lot of time here as the parking is free! I will be back for the food and accessories in support of Korean-owned businesses.

The Bottom Line 3 stars: A good place to stop by IF you are in the area, for general groceries and…read moreKorean food specialty items, and/or to have some decent and reasonably priced Korean food. The Little Bean coffee shop is also worth a visit (see my sepataete review). Recommended! Location 4 stars: SE corner of Olympic and Western in southern K-Town, to the West of DTLA/LA Live. Free self parking on premises. Venue 3 stars: Older shopping complex, consisting of the Galleria Supermarket on the lower level and 2 levels of shops. Extensive Food Court on the 3rd floor. Store mix 3 stars: Mostly mid-to-low tier unbranded clothing and health stores. A nice coffee shop on the second level (Little Bean Coffee). The food court is massive, with tens of Korean restaurants. I recommend Galleria Tonkatsu and Jin Su Sung Chan.

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.

Unfortunately the three times I've been to this shopping center I've been looked at like a criminal…read moresimply because of the color of my skin. The Little Light LA shop on the second floor was such a terrible experience. The woman at the counter made sure to give my friends and I the dirtiest looks and the most unwelcome vibe. I being the decent person I am still said thanks and goodbye to her as I left and she just stared at me then looked away. The woman in the kpop shop was in the back and ran to the front as soon as she saw me as if she had to guard the door which is basically what she was doing while I was there. To be honest especially in trumps America, I don't feel very welcomed in ktown in a lot of places but my experience today really took the cake. Not to mention on the escalators some woman started running up the steps as soon as she saw me get on them behind her. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt but as a black/brown person, we know that feeling when it's about the color of our skin and this was that. So unfortunate... for them because there are tons of other kpop stores where people are actually friendly. Like literally one across the street. And there are much better stores than the racist one I mentioned first. She had a canvas bag for 70$ with a simple cartoon decal. You can find that on temu for about $10.

I'm unsure if this was due to the pandemic, or if this was just mismanagement from the landlord. Regardless, my short time acquainted with this place was due to parking in their lot. And this is the sole positive to this place... the parking lot is decent here. I've parked here on several occasions, mainly due to being associated with a certain agency nearby. My business takes me across the street and around the corner from this place. So while this place doesn't serve well as a mall, it does make for a convenient parking lot. If you find yourself coming to the courthouse... or the agency nearby, then this is the parking lot for you. Cheers!

I asked the cashier if she had any paper towels, and she initially said no, but then she took one out from behind the counter and handed it to me. Then she asked me if I still wanted to keep the pickled radish. Like, seriously? I didn't make that hole! Why would I want to keep something that spilled all over my bags and made all my groceries smell sour? And then, instead of helping me clean up, she went off to get more paper towels and started wiping down the counter with Windex. Meanwhile, I had a mountain of groceries to bag, and she just left me to do it all by myself. What kind of cashier acts like that? And just for the record, it was a female cashier.

We strolled around (the Plaza) a bit, which isn't what you'd call a big place. Unfortunately, during this visit, we didn't patronize any of the few restaurants there. Not because we weren't hungry but because we just wanted to see what was there. We were bent on going to another Thai restaurant called OCHA, down the road'a'piece from the New Hollywood Plaza. But when we DO choose one of them, I'll report it later. Thanks.

I used to come here often as a kid, and the feel/essence of the place has stayed the same! There's so many different shops ran by hard working and often elderly folks. There's shops that sell kitchenware, clothes, shoes, luggage, art, toys, and even a sewing business. Everything was extremely affordable and the quality of products weren't bad. Some stores look closed, but don't be fooled... this place is large and it's easy to get lost. There weren't many visitors or customers walking around. I do worry about if this place will sustain another generation. I sincerely hope it can stay alive for a long time to come Overall, this is a great shopping plaza that I recommend LA Chinatown visitors to visit.
