The owner likes to hover at your table and comment sometimes. I thought it was charming. Some people clearly got pissy about it.

Thanks for the extra input! I don't take google reviews for gospel but anything under 4 stars usually gives me pause

At Nak Won's price point, that is totally fair. We went despite the reviews because we wanted that specific cuisine, and it's been awesome.

Oh, sometimes the food comes out at different times, too, rather than everyone at the table being served together. I can see some people thinking that's "bad service," but they just serve it when it's ready; the kitchen isn't huge.

Spicy seafood udon, or any of the hot pots.

My cousin once asked for that Udon Extra spicy (he is white) and the server asked him if he was sure a couple times before.

He was in pain.

I think that's actually typical for Korean. It's very similar to the Japanese izakaya concept
