      Where did you end up?

        Another vote for Ohgane strictly for a dish called Dduk Baegi Bulgogi that is hard to find on restaurant menus (even with all of the Korean restaurants in LA, I know of only one that had this great dish - it's a better version of sukiyaki made with bulgogi - on the menu.

        I went there last Saturday and here's a video of the dish:

              Sweet potato noodles and vegetables such as green onion (lots), brown onion, zucchini, and enoki mushroom. Also, one piece of fish cake.

              Off topic, but could you mention the location at which the video of Korean Fried Chicken in Albany, CA was taken? Thanks.

                The description says Ohgane, which is in Oakland.

                  I wasn't at the lunch for this particular write-up but it did inspire me to go since I'm a fried chicken slut. I've been there several times for the special fried chicken and it's always a treat. In the video you see two orders of chicken on the platter.

                My Korean thesis advisor took us to Pyung Chang Restaurante‎ (AKA Pyung Chang Tofu House) 4701 Telegraph Avenue.

                It was the best Korean we have ever had. They specialize in spicy soft tofu stews -- you can have veggies, fish, seafood, meat in them. The fried fish was good also. Strongly recommended. Variety of sides were excellent.

                ... edit: whoops I didn't see that you also find like this place and were looking for another.
