A recently opened Korean restaurant in Toronto has gotten so popular so quickly that they’re already having to turn guests away. North York's Nakwon Kisa Restaurant at 4895 Yonge Street is so new to the neighbourhood that you may not have even known it was there. While the elder three locations operate as full-service Korean restaurants replete with bibimbap, pork bone soup, all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue and hot plate offerings, Nakwon Kisa is something of an outlier. A significantly stripped-back sister to the GTA's other Nakwon restaurants, it's easy to imagine that Nakwon Kisa would be the least popular of the three. Since officially opening in early July, Nakwon Kisa has been virtually overrun, consistently, with folks eager to sink their teeth into the meal of the day.
