DineSafe TorontoThis week on DineSafe, a number of restaurants were pegged with two Conditional Passes in a row. (Hint: that's not a good thing.) First there was Hong Kong Island Bakery on Spadina, which never the green light (so to speak) after a Conditional Pass about one month ago. Then there was Nak Won Korean Restaurant in North York, which had two inspections within two days, both of which turned up a cool 10 infractions each. And we're not to forget Noah's Ark Tavern on the Danforth, which got a yellow pass with one infraction early in the month, then got another yellow pass this past week with a total of eight. Reconcile that. Here are some of the notable DineSafe blemishes this week.

Wow,4 crucial infractions,Nak Won serves great Korean food but it's not worth the health risk.

Doesn't surprise me - there are some disgusting people running restaurants in this city that are only interested in profit.

Look at the previous inspection history for Nak Won, it's scary! No shut down but they almost never seem to be able to maintain minimum standards of cleanliness.
