Koreatown
About
Koreatown sits west of Downtown along Wilshire Blvd. It's one of the densest neighborhoods in the US and has the biggest concentration of Korean restaurants outside Korea: Korean BBQ, tofu soup, 24-hour spots, karaoke, jjimjilbang spas and cafés busy late into the night. Wilshire also keeps a bunch of 1920s–30s Art Deco buildings, and the Metro D Line stops here.
Jasmine says
Plenty of restaurants still open at 2 a.m.
Great-value hotels, and 24-hour places are the norm.
In K-Town the question is never where to go;
it's: which meal is this today?
Korean BBQ, seolleongtang, jjimjilbangs,
plus the matcha shops that have exploded these last two years:
this neighborhood never sleeps.
Still buzzing at 2 a.m. The real question is which meal you're on.
