Nak Won Korean Restaurant - York

This restaurant is spacious with plenty of parking available. They followed Covid protocols and checked vaccine certificates. The staff was friendly and attentive. Each table had a bell to call for service. We started with the calamari as an appetizer, which was tasty and paired well with the kimchi side dishes. For our main dishes, we ordered the seafood pancakes and vegetarian glass noodles. Both dishes were delicious and portions were generous enough to share.

I am disappointed with Nak Won in Richmond Hill as the quality seems to be decreasing with each visit. The spicy pig dish I had today tasted fine but was about 95% fat. The yukgaejang on a previous visit was excessively salty and the chigae was bland. Sadly, it seems that this restaurant will no longer be an option for decent food.

My friends and family always come to this restaurant for food and we usually enjoy it. However, during our most recent visit, one of the waitresses, a blond Korean lady, made a rude comment about us not tipping last time we were there. Despite us feeling pressured to tip 15% during this visit, we believe that tipping should be optional and based on the quality of service provided. The waitress should not have made false accusations and displayed a rude attitude towards us.

Try the other two locations very well. As I was in the area and decided to try this place. Had a server that was older Korean lady with blond hair (mean her) our order and was just four dishes... the appetizer Kim Chi. All other locations serve 6 or 7, asking and was said that is the policy of the restaurant. Check another table on the way to the toilet room and notice that they had six. Spoke to the server again about the missing dishes, no answer she just came back with two more dishes unwillingly. The pig bone was fine, not sure that they ruin the appetite to appreciate the food, would suggest in their North York or Markham location warm and fantastic service.

This restaurant offers the best pork bone soup in Toronto! Service was timely, friendly staff. Will definitely return.
