Koreatown encompasses roughly 3 square miles, from Vermont Avenue to the east, Western Avenue to the west, Third Street to the north and Olympic Boulevard to the south, and benefits from direct access to the Metro and Downtown LA. Formed in 1904, Koreatown is now known for its vibrant 24/7 scene, restaurants and buzzing nightlife. Tabletop Korean BBQ is a defining symbol of this robust, highly diverse neighborhood. With more large malls than any similar sized area in America, and with one of the largest concentrations of nightclubs and 24-hour business in the country, Koreatown is the most dense area in Los Angeles.
