| - Nak Won has always been a favourite of mine for the wide selection of Korean dishes that it offers. Ranging from weekday lunch specials (bento boxes), large hot pots, kbbq, sizzling hot plates, and of course, a variety of soup options. I have frequented the First Markham Place location many times, so I was curious as to how this location will compare.
As I made my way into the restaurant at 10:00pm, we were informed that they were closing up by 11:00pm, which would probably be enough time for my guest and I to finish our dinner. We ordered the Gam Ja Tang as a quick option.
We were presented with the same amount of delicious appetizers as the First Markham Place branch. My favourite is the sweet potatoes.
But why I rated a 2 star for my experience is because of the service and attitude the waitresses were presenting. It was as if they were in a hurry to get home, as the bill came at the same time as our Gam Ja Tang! They informed us that they had to close their register and had us pay before we even have a chance to eat.
As we ate, the waitresses were pacing back and forth behind/in front of us. It was a very uncomfortable eating experience; feeling as if they were pressuring us to finish eating as soon as we can.
Though the Gam Ja Tang came sizzling hot, I felt that it was made hastily, as the potatoes and meat were quite tough to eat.
As we were preparing to leave, they started to close the lights on us. We weren't even out the door yet! A very unpleasant and frustrating dinner to have to endure.
All in all, Nak Won has been consistent with the portion and quality of food. But to save yourself the trouble, avoid coming in near closing time. Not even an hour before closing.
