Customer Reviews
We've been coming here for many years now as large groups and small, we all love it. The atmosphere is quiet and calm and the food is exquisite. Working our way through the menu and have not been disappointed at all. This time we got the kimbob appetizer which was a great blend of umami filled beef, crunchy fresh vegetables wrapped in perfect rice. We got chicken Korean Ramen as well that I highly recommend with a full bodied broth and delicious bites of sweet charred chicken. We always go back to the beef galbi and are never disappointed with its smokey sweet char. The service is always helpful and friendly, more than willing to answer questions or accommodate something. We cannot recommend this place enough, we will keep coming back again and again.
My go-to Korean food is spicy squid and this was the only Korean restaurant near my hotel that had it. The portion seemed a bit smaller than what I get at most Korean restaurants, but this is a small, family run shop so I understand. The food was still delicious and older gentleman at the door was very kind and friendly. The younger female behind the counter didn't have the best customer service and almost seemed annoyed at me walking in (even though I was literally the only customer) but I was just there to grab and go my online order so I brushed it off. If I had time, I would have opted to dine in because it was a cozy, "mom and pop" vibe which I love when eating Korean food. I'll be back in a couple of months for training so I will stop here again.
Nak Won has a nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly, which made the experience pleasant. The food was decent overall, flavors were good, but I did feel the prices were a bit high for the area and the portion sizes. It’s a nice spot to try if you’re craving Korean food, but just be aware it may not be the best value for the price.
We had bulgogi and galbi and it was very good. Our waiter was friendly and I gave service a 5 because he had 3 families to come at the same time and he handled us all efficiently. While we sat down in the dining room we received a plastic fork and spoon in addition to our chopsticks. Regular silverware would have been a step up. There was no Korean ambiance except for a few wall decorations. There was no music. I think a big opportunity was missed.
We had a party of 12 and they were so accommodating to our group size and needs. We are Korean American and this restaurant serves authentic Korean food. The chef (& who I’m assuming is the owner) was so friendly and made us feel so welcomed. We when visit our brother in NC, we will definitely be coming back to this place!
