NYC has dozens of Korean eateries, many different price ranges. They
definitely have much more diverse menus and they serve appetizers and
desserts... most serve alcohol. I never heard something so idiotic as
Asian restaurants don't serve desserts... every Chinese restauarnt
I've ever been to anywhere serves desserts... I guess in your world
China is in Australia. I don't know why you're defending a restaurant
you've never been to nor has the OP... can't you just be honest and
say try it.
