Cons:

"Worst service ever. The owner/waitress literally cursed and shouted at us in Korean."
"Service was bad as well. They didn't care about water and side dishes."
"Before we could even finish our meal, the bill was abruptly presented, signaling they wanted us to leave."
"Today I was very disappointed. I come here for years... But the the waitress was very rude and basically brought the check before we were ready to leave."
