No More Mekong River

So, I just posted a review of Mekong River on citysearch:

It will probably get removed, so I'll copy it here too:

Six years of putting up with mediocre food and bad service because it
used to be convenient.

Today, it ends! Mekong River, today, I will escape the evil clutches of
your sub-par Pad Thai! Today I break free from the chains of your
condescending wait-staff! Today, I will probably start going to Pita
Pit or something.

I ordered my lunch for pick up on the phone and I was told it would take
"ten to fifteen minutes". They must have thought I was a dog and that I
went by dog years because fifteen minutes really meant an hour and a
half (which is how long a dog would have to wait for thai food if you
told him fifteen minutes).

Since they are usually a little slow, I gave them twenty minutes before
I showed up. I waited at the front for five minutes before the "host"
checked on my food and came back and told me it would be just five more
minutes. He said "So, why don't you sit down and read the newspaper and
it will be right out". What?!! You look at me and immediately think
I'm some newspaper reading JERK!? Thanks a bunch!

Ten minutes passed and this guy says "Oh, I'll go check on your food in
just a minute" then he starts seating all these different people that
just came inside. He looks confused, which is probably because he
doesn't understand why people keep coming to eat at this stupid dumb
restaurant. Then he starts cleaning a table with two of the waiters...
That's right THREE people cleaning one little table... this is probably
because they have to get them sterile for when they steal your kidney to
sell it on the black market after you're done eating.

Finally, I flagged down another waiter and he went back to check on my
food for me. He came back and said that they were "still working on
that". REALLY! I ordered it almost an hour ago! I'm pretty sure all
you have to do is microwave a lean cuisine and drop it into a to-go box
(their food tastes like a garbage!)!

At this time, I realized I was late getting back to work so I just told
him "that's okay, you can eat it yourself" then left. I'm pretty sure
that guy won't eat it though, because he probably doesn't want to choke
on hunks of rejected human kidneys. I don't blame him, I wouldn't want
to either, BECAUSE I'M NOT A MONSTER!
