HK Supermarket Mural on Western Avenue

Friday, May 8th, 2009

WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES (graffiti by KOG)

A small part of the mural on the side of the Korean grocery HK Supermarket on Western Avenue. The Korean hangeul characters are 옷 (clothing), 신발 (shoes) and 향수 (perfume) — items you can buy at HK Super.

Truth be told, their fashion collection is minuscule and so unstylish. People go to HK Super not to buy clothes, but to buy food, which I will vouch for in terms of quality. Check your change though. There’s one cashier who thinks you’re not paying attention.

Address: 124 North Western Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90004

Han Kook Supermarket in Los Angeles

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Main Entrance of Korean grocery HanKook Supermarket on Western Avenue

한국 수퍼마켓

Don’t get turned off by how dingy HK Super looks on the outside. I’m telling you inside it’s clean. Their different sections (main supermarket, meat section) have been inspected by the LA Department of Health over the years, and they always get a letter grade of A, which is not that common in this part of Los Angeles. (The windows around here mostly show B’s.)

HK Super carries an overwhelming array of fresh and packaged Korean food, plus Japanese, Thai, Latino and American products. You’ll find organic milk, organic eggs, organic apples, organic soymilk, etc. Prices are very reasonable and the place is open from 7 AM to midnight.

Address: 124 North Western Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90004
Between Beverly Boulevard and 1st Street. Credit Cards OK.
Large Parking Lot in front. Can’t miss it from Western.

What does Han Kook mean? 한국 (hanguk) means Korea!
