Parking is for a fee, but they validate at most stores and some of the eateries. It has the best of Korean cuisine for every budget. You can have great noodles and spend less than 15$. 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.

I was deeply disturbed by what I found at Watermelon Books. The bookstore appears saturated with…read morepro-Palestinian political activism and material presenting a deeply one-sided, hostile portrayal of Israel and Jewish identity. Rather than offering a balanced range of perspectives, the selection gives the impression of an ideological project built around vilifying Israel. There is a fundamental difference between criticizing the Israeli government and promoting narratives that demonize Israel, erase Jewish history, or normalize hostility toward Jews. That distinction matters, and a bookstore that presents political messaging as unquestionable truth deserves scrutiny, particularly when the subject involves a conflict surrounded by so much misinformation and historical distortion. What makes this especially troubling is the apparent lack of intellectual balance. A bookstore is free to champion a political perspective, but customers are equally entitled to question the narratives it promotes and whether it makes room for historical context, competing evidence, and perspectives that challenge its worldview. I support free expression, including the right to advocate for Palestinians. But advocacy for one people should not come at the expense of Jewish people, Jewish history, or the legitimacy of Jewish self-determination. I left deeply concerned by the message conveyed by this store's selection.

It's all gifts and cute stuff, fun things and just an adorable-ness overload with some anime and Kpop stuff thrown in. I'm 100 years old and my friends & I loved Mashimaro when we were little! I was SO happy to see a black and gray Mashimaro tote in the store. It was overpriced at $80, as are most things in here, but it's not absolutely terrible pricing. I mean it's vintage at this point, lol. In general, the pricing here isn't quite as bad as you'd think within a mall. The store is overpacked with items squeezed in to maximize the small store space. I think the merchandise may have been upgraded since reviews from several years ago because I didn't see anything that was not decent to high quality. I'll definitely shop here again.

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.

Inside is not very large, but it does have a ton of great gift and game options. The staff was also very friendly and helped in my search. They don't have a dedicated parking lot, but it's fairly easy to find street parking; we found one a block away. They also have a limited selection of NeeDoh, and all are fairly priced. Nothing is over marked and is the true NeeDoh price and not some inflated market price. For that alone, I will continue to come back here and would suggest to everyone. They are not trying to rip you off in any sort of way. I love to support local toy shops and would highly suggest doing so at this one.
