True to this thread, I went to Cocobang last night at 3am, coming from The Clock exhibition at SF MOMA. They close at 2am normally, and at 4am on Fri. and Sat. It's good to see a busy locally owned restaurant open at this hour.
The sauced Korean Fried Chicken consisted of one wing (radius/ulna section), and big chunks of boneless chicken which meant the chunks aren't completely covered in skin. The sauce wasn't especially intense or overly sweet so some might like their style. It came with a huge portion of shredded cabbage and Russian dressing. Vegetables are often missing from late night eateries, so I was glad to have received this along with four banchan including a big bowl of pickled diced daikon, sprouts, daikon half-moons, and spicy fish cake.
Pan fried rice cakes in spicy sauce were pretty good. Sliced fish cake, cabbage, and scallions were mixed in. The sauce was thin to the point it had trouble sticking to the rice cakes, but it was spicy and seems to have thickened in my fridge overnight.
There are still club-goers and whatnot on the streets to the east of here, but I wouldn't recommend trekking west of here at 3am unless you take a cab or car or are part of a group of people.
