A visit to the King’s Garden restaurant in Richmond. For years this place has been a nasty place. Foods good as a carry out meal only. Boxes are still thrown behind curtains and unorganised. The tabletop’s were all needing wiped off of food and drinks. Floors Dirty too. The windows are also needing cleaned. A shame this place is so dirty because I love Asian food!!

Health department inspector showed up at the EAster extravaganza yesterday. When he walked up he never introduced himself at all. He just started telling us we couldn't sell certain items and we had to put labels on our baked goods. I understand now what we need to do so we meet guidelines. My issue is his overall attitude. Rude abrasive and more confrontational than teaching us what we were doing wrong. We asked for a business card he told us he didn't have any. He kept coming back and walking around in my opyjust to show his butt. He did give his card to other folks but not us. Several people just packed up and left. His lack of professionalism was a huge disappointment
