Excelente servicio, conocimiento y basto surtido de equipos e instrumentos musicales
Excelente…atienden con amabilidad
Have bought several instruments over the years from this business. Usually a good price and don’t have to worry about getting a kockknoff. Purchased a king student trombone, a bundy trumpet, a bach 36b trombone and a banjo. All great instruments.
Unable to go inside or check the products.
Bad experience with LA Music. I brought in a guitar for repair (damaged jack) on a Saturday, and was informed it would be completed in just 24 hours. I returned the following Wednesday, and nobody in the store knew about my work order upon viewing my receipt. They did not know where my guitar was, nor did they know if my guitar was even being repaired. The lady I spoke with claimed that the 24 hour time limit for repairs was wrong information, and small repairs (such as a damaged jack) were not even completed at the establishment. Lady was rude to me and said she “works at [her] own pace.” Overall, I wasted my time and money trying to get a damaged jack repaired at this establishment.
They sell you $7 dollar guitar strings for $20
Do not take your brass instruments here. I brought my trumpet in for sticking valve pistons. My trumpet is a 20 year old Holton which was recently refurbished (in Ohio). However, the valves were not worked on and I only recently realized they need service. Otherwise the trumpet is in excellent condition.
I was quoted $80 for the valve service. When I returned to pick up my trumpet, the lady at the counter tells me their technician said my trumpet doesn’t even have the right parts on it (makes no sense) and claimed that it was different brands pieced together. Every component is Holton, as I said I know my trumpet and have had it 20 years.
Second, she claims her technician didn’t even want to touch the trumpet and said that the amount of work needed would cost $450.00. I asked what work. She didn’t have an answer.
If you are an experienced musician, I highly recommend finding a place with actual experts who know what they’re talking about.

Address: 928 S Western Ave UNIT 107, Los Angeles, CA 90006 , Koreatown , California , United States
Love that you can do in-store pick-up for pre-orders and general items/merch. Online prices are usually 2-3$ cheaper, but their in store prices are still very competitive compared to some of the other music stores in the area. Staff is very friendly!
푸드코트 정말 좋음!!!
Es super
Very good!
Its not a bad store they have many things but their workees are rude and shady. I would always go there with friends but lately the workers are kinds mean and rude, You can try to talk to them but they just give you such a mean look. also a friend of mine touch their pen that was laying there and when she put it down the lady grab it and toss it under something like if we were trying to steal it. Also i was handing something to my sister and they girl ran towards us as if i was trying to steal it when i was just heading toward mt sister who happen to be by the entrance because that were the poster where at. I feel uncomfortable there now unlike before.
The first time I came here was in 2014, I got all the SHINee, F(x), 2pm, Exo and Big Bang merch I could find.
Kpop is so much more accessible now, there’s not much reason to come here anymore. I love the clutter but the checkout needs a serious update. I was overcharged 40 dollars and then all 3 employees had to fix their mistake. Posters that are sold out should say so.
Nothing was in English all they had everything worked for was for that BTS band if that’s what you’re looking for then they can get that there they had nothing else
don’t buy if you’re bulk ordering from here. im missing an album from a bulk order and they refuse to do anything about it.
They do have everything Kpop but I didn’t feel any kind of love at this place. Customer service can either be good or bad but this place didn’t give neither which I have to say is worse. I kinda felt insignificant. To sum it up merchandise is good but the vibe was harsh and uncomfortable.
Many albumz to look through, the store looked amazing!
btw I hardly write reviews but they have the greatest customer service !! I went there yesterday and honestly, I was skeptical at first because I never heard of this store, I only heard of the top stores nearby. When I was there they told me to write my name and phone number so they can give me a call letting me know that they’re ready to take us in instead of waiting in line. They’re so nice they gave me two photo cards. They’re so organized as well, I’m coming here again !!
Definitivamente el mejor lugar para comprar discos de música asiática en los ángeles. Tienen el mejor y último surtido y todo muy ordenado. Además de discos venden pósters, Lightsticks y otros goods y cuando completas tu compra te dan regalitos de los artistas que compraste. Un lugar imperdible si disfrutas de la música coreana.
Groceries are expensive, food court on 5th FL is not very good, stores are not attractive
Staff were friendly
Good
아주좋아요
I couldn’t breath. Cringed lots.
They wanted 9 dollars for shipping (the cheapest shipping possible) and it was over a month and it still did not ship. I emailed them multiple times asking nicely if they can give me a rough estimate on how long it might take to ship out my order and all the times they responded saying they can’t give me an estimate date. I guess to go to the actual store it might be fine but I really do not suggest ordering online from choice music la.
7. K-Pop Music Town
Address: 621 S Western Ave #213, Los Angeles, CA 90005 , Koreatown , California , United States
Great selections…I was able to purchase some old albums that others didn’t have on stock anymore. Great prices…very competitive pricing to keep me shopping for more (already made 3 separate orders online hahaha). Fast delivery…received my first order of 10 albums 7 days after I placed my order online, coming from California to Oklahoma. Will definitely keep shopping with you guys! Thank you again…Blink for life!
So many albums!!! A must see if visiting LA and the cashier, I think she was the owner, was super nice they have lightsticks too!
I come here often for kpop needs. I would rather come here from Arizona than buy things online. Always a great experience and staff is super friendly.
Its decent, not my go to kpop store. Primarily BTS products. New so was willing to give it a chance but its small and cramped.
A little pricy, but had a good selection.
Not bad..
My third time coming to this store. When I was about to leave today, the woman working there checked my bag for no reason.
I definitely didn’t do anything improper, just walked around and looked at the albums. What she did to me is so rude.
After checking and knowing that I really didn’t steal anything, she smiled to me awkwardly. I don’t understand why she did this and I feel horrible.
Prices of albums in the store are about 20% to 40% higher than other K-pop album stores. The quality and variety of the albums are not bad, that’s why I come here sometimes and buy things, but I’ll never come back again, ever, because of her rudeness…
Also, I was in the first row of many concerts, even fly with the K-pop idols for concerts all over the world to support them. Is there any reasons for me to steal one single album????
I feel so bad. Please don’t do this to anyone else. If you don’t trust your customers, set more cameras in the store and look at your screen all the time instead of hurting K-pop lovers and your customers please
Bought an NCT lightstick from here, it did not sync up at the venue.
I placed my first order with them recently for a limited edition album. I use a PO Box for domestic orders because of local mail thieves, and instead of any notice or a chance to change my shipping address to fall within their “policy”, I was automatically refunded without any notice and now the album is sold out everywhere.
When people order, your system should include where you are and aren’t able to ship to.
I will not be ordering from this store again.
8. Joshua Chung Violin Shop
Address: 4055 Wilshire Blvd # 101C, Los Angeles, CA 90010 , Koreatown , California , United States
Best place to shop for instruments, the owner of the shop is very friendly and offers great deals.
매우 훌륭한 솜씨로 악기를 수리해주고 좋은 재료로 악기를 업그레이드 시켜줍니다.
Very nice place, all the other places only work on instruments brands sold in there shop. This shop work on my 1/4 six string cello/ arpeggione. And he worked very quick. The only problem I had was finding the place, it took me a while until I found the entrance which was at the back door, located in the parking lot. I will be doing all my my string instrument stuff here.
The price for the service is ok but he seem not too honest about the violin price. When I brought my violin to him to fix, he appraised it about $900, but then when I brought it back to sell, he said it was just worths about $100 :(. Maybe it’s the way business is but I still feel like I was tricked.
They moved

THE BEST KPOP STORE IN LA.
100% recommended, the lady is SO NICE and she gives you freebies. You need to come.
Great variety of K-pop items, perfect for my holiday shopping plus very friendly staff.
Definitely will be back for more
Lots of KPop items for sale, even ones that i could not find elsewhere. Plus, they held an event a few days ago that I missed due to travel issues. However, they had leftover freebies that they threw in with my purchase.
Decent k-pop store in the City Center on 6th. They have a few shelves of albums that vary in price, but most of the prices were very reasonable!
Some of the k-pop albums they had were from BTS, Day6, NCT, MAMAMOO, Pentagon, SHINEE, Stray Kids, and more. They didn’t have a ton of albums, but mainly new releases and seasonal photobooks and magazines. They also have lots of unofficial goods like pillows, plushies, clothing, hats, mugs, stationary, bags, and more!
Overall, 3.5 stars. The store is really small, but it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and want to check out what they have. The staff was really friendly. You can also checkout their website to see what they have in stock!
It’s a gift from a friend. I think the store is not honest.
It wouldnt be weird if there is an envelope, but missing one photocard or postcard. It might be from a factory back in Korea. I can’t help but thinking they remove the envelope and seal the album again. I bought a lot of 5star albums, all of them have a poster located at the back along with the CD. Suddenly the poster is put at the front. Envelope (to put all postcard, ootd, comic postcard, and photocards) is missing.
The service here was horrible…the man did not want to help nor assist us
10. Los Angeles Bass Works-by appointment only
Address: 672 S La Fayette Park Pl #25, Los Angeles, CA 90057 , Koreatown , California , United States
Absolutely great! Gabriel was really helpful. I needed to quickly rent a bass for only a week and he was able to set me up with what I needed without a hitch and at a great price. Super kind and accommodating!
Just started working with Lisa and Gabriel on a restoration of one double bass and the consignment sale of another. Despite being terribly busy, they took the time to listen to me, answer any questions I had, and help me come up with the right plan of attack for both instruments. We are very fortunate to have such kind craftspeople in California! Really excited to see how the restoration turns out!
La lonchera Wuooo
Good atmosphere.. Good customer service
11. Radio Fantasia Musical
Address: 3250 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010 , Koreatown , California , United States
A nicely set shop with a wide range of instruments and they charge affordable prices. My nephew got a guitar from John’s and he told me that the gentleman at the store was very friendly and helped him. I’ll go next time for sure.
John was very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Staff was very helpful
I bought 10sets of drumstic.
친절하고 처음 접하는 악기에 대해 편안하게 설명해주심
They were super polite and helpful
Not Kind.
Said they repair but they do not touch electrical instruments, should of told me that on the phone. So I would not waste my time.
그저 맛도….서비스 도…가면 나오면서 머리 쥐어 뜯는 절대 후회 ….
