"I used to debate the merits of Nak Won and its rival and neighbor Hodori: Hodori opened in 1991, also served food 24/7, and had a picture menu that made it easier for non-Koreans to navigate the long list of dishes, so many non-Koreans tended to venture there first. Locals often pledged allegiance to Nak Won for a homier feel, though both places were probably average in food quality—more like arguing about Denny’s versus IHOP." - Matthew Kang
