"Nak Won House, also known as Nakwonjip, was a beloved Korean restaurant in Koreatown, Los Angeles, known for its 24-hour service and extensive menu of Korean comfort dishes. It opened in 1985 and closed on September 30 after 34 years of business. The restaurant was a neighborhood institution, popular among grandmas, busy families, night owls, and college students. It served classic Korean dishes such as seolleongtang, kimchi bokkeumbap, yukgaejang, and more. Despite its average food quality, it held a homely atmosphere that attracted loyal patrons." - Matthew Kang
