ost visitors are surprised to find an Asian supermarket in the San Fernando Valley, much less one as big and upscale as the Galleria Market. As a matter of fact, San Fernando Valley boasts two other Asian supermarkets — the Ranch 99 on Sepulveda and the Greenland Market on the corner of White Oak and Sherman Way. Both are impressively big and well stocked, but older, less expensive and not as stylish as the Galleria Market which opened in the spring of 2004, two years after its bigger sister mall, the Koreatown Galleria.
The Galleria Market is actually a full-fledged indoor mall, complete with a food court serving eight types of Corean (Korean) specialties, a boba café and a western-style chicken-and-burger place. There are also two bakeries, a fancy (and expensive) french-style bakery called Tous Les Jours and an equally expensive traditional Corean bakery alongside. Seven other shops occupy the rest of the bright, spacious space facing the market's checkout counters. The Galleria shares a big L-shaped strip mall with establishments like Starbucks and Jamba Juice and attracts a steady flow of Asian students from nearby Cal State Northridge and Asian families living in Porter Ranch, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks.
