On Nak Won's website, it claims that it is supposed to have opened on July 4th. I still recall some time early August, I walked by this location and it was not opened. I have a tweet to prove it.
When my friend and I walked by today, we discovered that it was opened and so we popped in to try it out. There were a lot less people than I expected. Only half of the restaurant was full on a Wednesday evening around 6pm. It got busier was we were leaving at 7:30, but it wasn't full.
The prices are similar to uptown prices. All the soups (tang), including pork bone soup is 6.99. We got a tofu seafood soup with rice. A bit bland
The beef short ribs on rice (gal bi) was 12.99. The portion was generous and it was VERY delicious. About 12 large pieces.
The spicy rice cake with instant noodle was also delicious. For about 10.99 (?) I think. The texture for the instant noodle really complements that chewy rice cake.
The best part about nak won, no doubt, is its bountiful side dishes. there must have been about 8: jap chae, sweet potato, kimchi, bean sprout, SEAWEED, daikon, fish cake were the ones I tried...I can't remember the other one.
The total for the two of us was $36 after tax and tips.
I liked that they have a bell on the table, even though this restaurant is probably a quarter of the size of the one in markham.
