This very popular three-level indoor mall has a great food court and ground level supermarket…read more These two places also have the fairest prices. 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. 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.

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.

As somewhat expected in a highly populated area in a big city, be vigilant and watch out for yourself, because despite cameras everywhere and the occasional security personnel, you tend to see some shady characters lurking around. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the East of the original Farmer's Market. The Grove has a huge but very busy parking structure, so while you may have to journey to the upper levels, you will eventually find parking. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Their validation rules are fairly complex and not straightforward, so be sure to read all the fine print. They also have Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice modern open air set up with a Nordstrom, Zara and H&M and a bunch of smaller stores, an AMC movie theater, a Barnes and Noble, a Cheesecake Factory, and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants to fit most tastes and budgets. One catch being that the Grove parking lot cannot be validated by the Farmers Market stores and vice versa. Once you are on premises you can use the trolly to move from one end of the venue to the other. Also keep in mind that the Original Farmers Market is literally next door and attached to the Grove, which dramatically increases your food options.

Very busy parking lot on weekday evenings but it's definitely a mall worth strolling around in. I…read morealways enjoy the food court here because I feel like they have a good variety of cuisines to choose from personally. I didn't know this is also called the Fox Hills mall too. There's an area where you can see about 3 floors of stores. I think the overall look of this mall is very pleasant and modern. There was also a recent pop up related to Pokemon in the middle of the mall which I think is really cool. I think there's a good amount of restrooms to find. Parking is free and there's lights to show if there's any open spots. I think one evening it was super dark and I was shocked that there wasn't any lighting and I found that to be pretty dangerous, but hopefully it's just because of the changing times of day. It's very family friendly and a good child playground, and also close by the 405 freeway which is very handy. Every time I'm here, I'm on a limited time to shop and browse!!!

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.

Parking is free (thank goodness) and is located in a small multi-level mini mall. I mainly come here for spices, sauces and seasoning as they are better priced than bigger chain markets. Also worth the grab are their marinated meats, ready to be cooked. The beef bulgogi was so good when grilled over charcoal. They also have all the sides in the refridgerated section such as seaweed salads, kimchi and marinated squid. My most recent "a ha!" moment is finding the Korean fried chicken in the ready-to-eat deli section. Absolutely delicious and affordable! I no longer want to get takeout wings or Korean fried chicken at restaurants when I can get them here.

The big food festival that happens every week is what initially brought me to the Row and there is so much to discover there. I also often come here to charge my Tesla ~ charging on Level 5. The Row opened almost 10 years ago on the edge of Arts District and is spread across 30 acres. As mentioned with the charging, they do have a parking garage which is really nice when coming here. And it's a nice garage, well kept and clean, free for 2 hours with validation. You never need to worry about parking when you come here! Like much of Arts District, it's kind of industrial chic vibes. It's an open-air spot with just lovely landscaping and seating all around. There are some excellent food options like Pikunico and Hayato, as well as Go Get Em Tiger for coffee needs. Very cool stores including concept spots and trendy clothing shops. And i'm def getting my next tattoo at Nonfromseoul. Aside from the brick & mortar shops and restaurants and weekly Sunday Smorgasburg, I've been to some other smaller cultural fests & pop ups here. It's always trendy and cute at ROW DTLA!

That being said, ROW DTLA is a dreamscape when it comes to filming content and just catching city vibes in a safe space. Located near the Arts District this space of buildings used to be utilized for the textile industry. With multi floored buildings creating rows of foot traffic on the ground this space is perfect for events, pop ups, and get togethers. It's one of the reasons why Smorgasburg is held here on Sundays. It's why on any given weekend there may be an event being held, whether it be to celebrate AAPI month or the different creatives in the area. This space is filled with homegrown businesses and unique shops to visit. One of my favorite places is Hightide which is a Japanese stationary and supplies shop. The vibes are immaculate and walking in really feels like being in a store in Japan. Another popular space is Scent Bar for those who love perfume and are aromaphiles. With plenty of small curated artists being featured in this apothecary of aromas, Scent Bar is a nice stop whilst visiting the Row. If you're looking for interesting and discussion worthy furniture A+R is a must, located at one of the ends of the Row. For good coffee with artistic vibes you got to check out GGET (Go Get Em Tiger). Next to that if you're looking for stronger waters is Flask & Field with smaller batch and independent distilleries and crafters. All of this and the parking is free for the first 2 hours. In LA, that's unheard of! And it's a large parking structure with modern infrastructure. Blessed. With all this, hopefully ROW DTLA will continue to grow with more businesses and still retain its charm as time marches forward. Good for a short stay or half a day, if you're looking for things to do in LA proper, ROW DTLA is worth your drive.

However, I decided to just kill some time and go into few of their department stores that they have before my meeting with a potential client that was scheduled for 5pm. This is a HUGE 2 story mall with escalators and elevators operating just fine. With clean restrooms, stores, and great service. I went into Macy's and was looking for an outfit to buy for an upcoming wedding. Looked around, but couldn't find anything that captured my eye/attention. Later, went to Zara, one of their most iconic, expensive stores. They have many stores from Bloomingdales, to Macy's to Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, Sephora, Diesel, Roberto Cavalli, Bath & Body Works, Tiffany & Company, and a lot more. Just to name a few. All associates that I dealt with were very helpful, nice and professional. They no longer have the big Food court. They do have sporadic snack shops inside, but there are a few restaurants on the ground floor, such as H&H Steakhouse, Nicolas Eatery, and ABSteak. Some chain spots such as Starbucks and Wetzel's Pretzel are also available. Parking surprised me with their fair prices. They have a parking garage, rates are very inexpensive and affordable. Starts out at $1.00 for an hour & $2.00 for the second hour. If and when I happen to be in this beautiful, RICH area again, I will definitely stop by..
