There's definitely nothing that much like ktown in miami though.
I stayed at The Line on Wilshire Boulevard.

Koreatown has a walk score of 91. Wynwood has a walk score of 87. So pretty close. Beyond that there are not very similar to me with koreatown being and looking much denser to me.

The urban form is absolutely similar. There are stretches of pedestrian-oriented retail along with large stretches of auto-centric retail. This seems to be a common pattern of development in areas that developed along streetcar lines. The only difference is that Los Angeles is denser.
