Report on Chopsticks at Kingston from a Commenter

I received an email from one of my Anon commenters the other day, asking if I would post his review of Chopsticks in Kingston. I have never entered this restaurant or eaten their food, so can't either comment or make a judgement, but am happy to host a discussion about whether people agree or not, so here is the body of what he had to say:

The reason I am writing to you is to decribe a situation I was in the other night... Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant in Kingston. I have eaten takeaway's from there once, and almost twice...

Wedenesday evening I ring up and phone order some takeaway on my way home from work...My description of the food will make you wonder why, but I was desperate for food and too tired to cook! All was good... I order my 2 takeaways along with a container of rice. 'Thats fine, pick up in 10 minutes' came the response... So I turn up and then staff member on counter then tells me that they don't have any rice, so they did not bother to cook any of my order for me....Huh?

We are talking about a 100% empty chinese restaurant here. The chinese restaurant with no rice is like the pub with no beer! So I just walked out. I was extremely angry. Later on that evening I had a thought that they may have been lying to me about the rice... So I rang up."Hi. Do you sell rice?" "Yes of course" "So you have rice at the moment?" "Yes" "So earlier when you told me you didn't have any rice, you were lying?" "No. The chef couldn't cook any." (I then hung up).

So a Chinese Chef who cant cook rice in an empty restaurant... interesting. The alleged ‘cuisine’ at this place is cleverly made to replicate eating liquid cement. Incredibly heavy on oils and fats and grease at every opportunity ... and added MSG, to make the glunky congealed mass sit in a solid blob in the stomach for several hours, creating heartburn, indigestion, high blood pressure and constipation.

The advantage of Chinese cooking (to the owner) is the liquid cement that was not eaten last night, or at lunch is cheerfully served for dinner or even tomorrow or the next day…or even next week as patrons generally can't see what is in it anyway, within the brown mess that it’s often is served as.

This restaurant used to have high quality food. These McDonalds has higher quality produce.

Sorry to send such a long email, however I think it is important to inform people who support this business as the standards have dropped to almost 0%. If you could publish what I have written onto your blog site, that would be great!
