Galleria Market

The eastside version of Western Avenue’s Galleria Market is a smaller iteration of it’s older, more established sister, but what Galleria on Vermont lacks in age and size, it makes up in convenience. Those who are coming to this Galleria are here for one reason: To buy groceries, so parking is never a fight and the crowds are relatively sparse compared to the original’s location. Though the market carries much of the same stock as other grocery stores in Koreatown, there are specialties that will make your next weeknight dinner a breeze: namely, the pre-sliced, packaged sashimi dinners complete with a gochujang and vinegar dipping sauce or crab stew kits (just throw the pre-packaged vegetables, crab and seasoning into a pot and let simmer). There are also tiny restaurant-fronts that serve food through windows, so you can sidle up to a bar and nosh on fast food favorites like fried dumplings or gimbap.
