Koreatown Galleria Food Court

Westlake & Koreatown


Under the sky-lit atrium on the top floor of the Koreatown Galleria mall, about a dozen stalls are in friendly competition selling casual, generous serves of easy-on-the-wallet Korean cuisine. Among them, Bontobagi dishes up set meals including your choice of grilled meat with sides, rice and spicy stew; Mannaria does omelets stuffed with fried rice; and Galleria Tonkatsu has delectable fried pork cutlets.

It's a quick and easy lunch or dinner stop, and there's free parking. For takeout, visit the massive Galleria Market, two levels down.
