I ate a LOT of Korean food when I was in LA this weekend. It's kind of what I crave when I've been away for awhile, and it was also the best choice at 11 p.m. after a flight on a chilly, rainy night. My sister and b-i-l took me to Nodaji, a little Japanese and Korean pub (read: comfort food!). It was delicious.
We started with corn cheese, which is just canned corn sprinkled with melty cheese and baked until crunchy around the edges.
Then we had a huge omarice, which is fried rice wrapped in a big flat piece of egg and topped with ketchup. They served it with over half a dozen Korean side dishes, which was just perfect.
The photo doesn't do this justice, but my favorite dish of the night was the black goat stew. It was boiling hot, quite spicy, surprisingly herby, and full of falling-apart-tender chunks of goat meat. With a perfectly cooked bowl of rice, it was the perfect thing to eat on a cold night--really unique but also really comforting. I felt ten times better after I was done, and we spent under $40 for all three of us.

This is like Korean/western food fusion... not sure about the omelette with rice, I prefer lots of veggies and sausages inside, but am curious about the goat stew... sounds delicious.
You would like the goat stew a lot. The flavors are not very Western at all. I think Hong Kong cafes are more Westernized than Nodaji. Except for the corn cheese, the other stuff on the menu was pretty traditional, but definitely a Japanese/Korean mix.
