| - Located very close to the Finch subway station, Nak Won is always pretty busy, even on a weekday night.
Pros:
- Location is very accessible by TCC (on Yonge, just south of Finch Station)
- The variety of those little side dishes is astounding! This is primarily what I go to Nak Won for. Generous amounts of glass noodles, kimchi, potato, bean sprout, seaweed salad, and a variety of other cold dishes that are all more tasty than the main course itself.
Overall the food is fair, but lacks any distinct or memorable flavour.
- Hot Stone Bibimbap: Was nice and hot and the egg was done right: runny. The vegetables were crisp. The beef had very little taste, and needed to douse it in hot sauce
- Pork cutlet bibimbap had a generous portion of meat. The cooked egg on top looked very unappetizing with a big mess of green onion thrown in the mix, however
Cons:
- Service is admittedly very poor. The pressing-the-button to call for the server did not work out very well if used more than maybe 3 times. We were waiting a very long time to have our order taken, and it had not occurred to us that the ONLY way to contact a server was with that door-bell button. Once she took our order, the waitress did not bring out the water until much later, and did so while carrying about six glasses in her hands and sliding two hastily across the table. Our appetizers came at the same time as the meals, whereas I would have preferred if we had it to nibble on as we wait for the main dishes.. When we asked for more water, the waitress wordlessly plunked a large plastic carafe full of water on our table.
If you're willing to put up with the sub-par service, it's comfort food for a low price, and at a convenient location. Side dishes are the only thing that keeps me coming back.
