| - I ordered takeout from Nak Won and picked it up. The restaurant was about a third full for Sunday lunch. I would not go here, especially if you are getting the Jajangmyeon ($9.99) or the Dumplings ($9.99), which is what I ate. I to
I eat jajangmyeon (or the Chinese equivalent of it, zhajiangmian) a lot, think once every month at least. This is one of my favorite dishes and I have never seen such a disastrously made one. The sauce looked almost sad, as if they didn't put enough fermented bean paste into it and replaced whatever they did not put in with corn starch instead. The sauce did not have the right consistency, tasteless, and not even close to being salty enough. When you fry the fermented bean paste, you are supposed to make it more flavorful, not less. I would have preferred to go next door to one of the supermarkets in the area, buy a packet of fermented bean paste and put it on my carbs.
I could not finish it - I took four bites and then took personal offence from the dish.
The dumplings looked, and tasted like, they were store bought frozen dumplings. The dumpling skin was 100% mass manufactured, not hand rolled. When you look at the filling, they are placed perfectly center of each dumpling. I actually finished the dumplings because I usually eat frozen dumplings anyways - but I could have saved $8.00 if I did.
