"We won’t sugar coat it, Cocobang is where to go when you’re sh*tfaced. And, yes, while the food alone isn’t necessarily worth crossing town for sober, it’s the best when you need to soak up a night’s worth of tequila—or, more likely, grab a soju pitcher and keep things going. This Lower Nob Hill spot is one of the more fun places to grab sizzling plates of corn cheese, crunchy Korean fried chicken, and solid versions of bright red tteokbokki and kimchi fried rice late at night, and this place leans into it. There are K-pop music videos projected on the wall, plenty of beer and soju to go around, and energy that keeps the restaurant buzzing until 2am." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
