You might have read my last review about Balwoo Gongyang Kong. If not, you can find it here: 

Balwoo Kong: Budget Vegan Temple Cuisine Review: 2 Stars

I was a bit critical on service during my last visit. I am happy to announce that changes have been made and everything is much more efficient now. Wow. They have the little button things that’ll ring when your food is ready and service is much nicer. The waitress was nice enough to bring me a complementary tea during my last visit. The food is delicious as usual and I have been back twice since my review. It is quickly becoming one of my regular haunts.
