The Source’s Clothing stores are a bit lacking with not much in terms of variety or option. Both shops have a great vibe with MVs playing in the background to entice buys of your favorite Boy group or Girl group. However, they don’t offer a website to buy online. ![]() They have better prices on albums and offer non K-Pop related Korea Boo items as well. They have a points/rewards system, as well, so it definitely rewards repeat visits and multiple purchases. ![]() Always giving me freebies with items I purchase. But now The Source is a central hub for K-Pop netizens. You had to go all the way to K-Town in LA (K-Pop Music Town has a store there too) for K-Pop related merch. K-Pop Music Town: K-Pop merch in OC was pretty rare long ago. Other places I haven’t tried but I hear good things about are La Huasteca (Mexican restaurant), Il Palco (Italian restaurant), and KSoul Food (kind of Asian fusion – a modern take on Korean style sushi, rice cakes, and rice/noodle dishes). Pelicana Chicken: Basically Korean style wings. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Their mini-pho bowls are tasty and affordable but I highly recommend their grilled pork vermicelli, broken rice short ribs, spring rolls, and egg rolls. Main Street Pho & Grill is the closest Vietnamese restaurant in my general vicinity so I practically lived off of their to-go orders during quarantine. So much so that on weekends they extend their dining area to the patio section with an outdoor music playlist. They are, in fact, a very popular restaurant especially for young people.

Yoshiharu Ramen is a great place for authentic Japanese ramen.

It faced lots of economic challenges during it’s inception. The Source, located slightly northeast (you can’t miss it) of Beach and Orangethorpe, is a shopping and entertainment center – a sort of hub for all things Korean-related. Beach and Malvern, more specifically, is the center to two Korean Grocery stores (Hannam & H Mart), bakeries, restaurants, Karaoke spots, boba shops, etc. The Korean-American community have been rooted in OC since the 1980s but a growing number of Korean Businesses started to take root in the early twenty tens. If you’re a Korea Boo living in SoCal OC and you want a taste of Koreatown but would rather not drive all the way out to Downtown Los Angeles, then you’re in luck if you live near the greater Buena Park area.
