  I decided to dine here for dinner since I was in the area. I have been to all 3 nakwon locations in the GTA. pretty standard and same but the interior is very outdated but love how spacious the restaurant is! they offer AYCE bbq as well but the insulation is not the best for it in my opinion, but they did open the door when there was some smoke. There's a loud ring everytime the door opens which is also inconvenient for the customers, they need to make it more quiet somehow. We got the rice cakes, kimchi pancake, black bean noodles, gamjatang with ramen, kkangpunggi fried chicken. They were great for sharing and the price isn't too bad! everything came quick. came with sides as well We came around 6 and there was nobody then closer to 7 it got sooo busy there was a waitlist! so highly recommend reservations and goodluck with finding parking. The service was overall nice but there was a shortage of workers for sure, only 2-3 servers working the restaurant. I would definitely dine again though! The gamjatang with ramen is always my go to. I love how the rice cake came with noodles as well They do have a happy hour monday-friday 3pm-5pm 10 percent off (except holidays) and lunch specials.

  Family Day all-day ayce buffet for family of 4. Seated quickly. Food service was fast. Our server was very attentive for our first time visit. Lots of little side dishes. The pork bone soup was really nice on a cold winter day. Many of the meats are marinated and didn't require the dipping sauces. You can request lettuce (off-menu) to make wraps.

  We ordered the less spicy beef and seafood noodles, and both were delicious with rich, flavorful broth. The waitress was very kind and welcoming, and the hospitality made the dining experience even better. Highly recommended!

  When I lived in Korea, if you gave a generous tip (around $10–$50), you could really feel the extra care and service. In Canada, tipping often feels expected, so sometimes it doesn’t feel as special. I usually leave 15%, but this is the only restaurant where I happily left an 18% tip. I don’t know the name of the staff member who helped us, but they were truly excellent at their job and made the experience so pleasant. Whenever I visit, I go with my two daughters. We don’t eat a lot, but there are so many dishes we want to try, so we end up ordering a variety of items — and yes, sometimes we can’t finish everything! But everything is just too tempting. It actually felt even more delicious than our previous visit. I’m not sure if the chef has changed, but the food seemed even better this time. We will definitely be back again!

  If you’re looking for a top-tier dining experience that captures the heart of Korean hospitality, this spot is an absolute gem. From the moment you step inside, the first thing you notice is the inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is impressively spacious, impeccably clean, and well-lit, creating a refreshing environment that works just as well for a bright lunch as it does for a lively dinner with friends. The service truly sets this place apart. The waitstaff are incredibly kind and attentive; these ladies move with a helpfulness that makes you feel like a guest in someone’s home rather than just a customer at a table. They are quick to offer recommendations and ensure you have everything you need before you even have to ask. As for the food—it is nothing short of amazing. Every dish pops with authentic flavor, but the real star of the show might be the banchan (side dishes). They are fresh, varied, and—best of all—the staff keeps them coming with constant refills. You’ll never find an empty small plate on your table for long. It is rare to find a place that balances great proportions, high-quality ingredients, and such genuine warmth. I recommend this restaurant for sure; it’s a five-star experience that will leave both your heart and your stomach full.
