Nak Won Restaurant

Stopped by this past Wednesday night and my goodness have things changed! So good that the place stayed packed ALL night!! They even utilized the front and back private room for more seating. I was there with a group of 6 for about 6-7 hours catching up with some friends. For starters, the food tasted sooooo good! Best that I've ever tasted and I've been going here for a while !! The fish cake soup was so flavorful and had a nice kick of spice with the addition of the jalapeno peppers. The chicken was crunchy and stayed crunchy and the sauce was a nice balance of sweet and spicy. The tteokbokki was also well balanced and it was a generous portion! Since we were there for so long and kept ordering drinks they gave us some free items like the corn cheese which was so creamy. The fries were very crunchy, not soggy at all and the sweet chili sauce was a nice compliment. The servers kept checking in on us and did their best while they were also managing 8-10 other tables! I am so glad to see the changes and I hope it stays this way!

This is one of the most popular dine-in and DoorDash spots for Hopkins students. This was my first time trying it, and it did not disappoint. I got some version of a bibimbap and kimchi pancakes which were pretty delicious and filling. I'd definitely get a Milkis on the side, it compliments everything. It's pretty superb Korean food, I'd even say better than the place next door. The vibes are pretty cool too, if you have the chance, try to dine-in. There isn't much else to say. This should be a staple on everyone’s list.

1st time dining at Kong (Pocha). Really enjoyed it. Wasn’t a fan of sitting in the back room without a grill on my table but made the best of it. Didn’t like that the fryer was shut down before I could make my to-go order. Anyhow, the food was great! Started with the banchon…couldn’t get enough. The Korean fried chicken was so crispy & fried to perfection. Also had bulgogi & spicy soup. Brought my teen boys & they ate up everything. Sooo satisfying! Try this place. Hurry though…it’s a hot spot & seems to fill up quick!!!
