i have to agree with them, I dont recon the food is very good there.. (even though all my asian friends tell me how fantastic it is)

much better places to eat in GW than Rock Kung

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

LOL!

When the regulars go there, we get the good stuff!

Half a duck and rice anyone..?

..this is what I've been told, the regulars get good food.

Shouldn't they look after every customer ???

Yes they should or its descrimination IMO.

There is a lot of types of Chinese dishes not just fried rice, lemon chicken and dim sums... LOL!

So lets say your Asian they probley give you the menu with more 'Traditional' dishes and if your Western they give you the menu with a more Westernised/Asian dishes / flavours.

But hey, if you know what your ordering and know of many traditional Asian dishes, then go right ahead and order it and they will give it to you. They probley be quite suprised if you did know and more than happy to prepare and serve it to you.

For example there is a fish dish where it is deep fried fillets in batter mixed with a sweet corn soup type of sauce, I guess that would be more appealing to Western customers as opposed to an entire steamed fish where the head, tail, and bones are left and you pick the meat off, dip it in soya sauce and eat it would be a more traditional dish.

Yes Iam serious, we Asian steam a whole fish and eat the meat out of the cheeks / head and there is a bit of meat towards the end before the tail. LMAO!!!

But I have seen western ppl order and eat the same dish. So if you know what you want just order it and they give it to you.

Ye i wasnt overtly impressed by Rock Kung to be honest when i was there... duck was OK, but thats it. Not as good as other places.

[funkymonkey]

you gotta be a regular to appreciate it.

whenever i walk in the dude's already written down pork ribs with spicy salt and mixed fried rice on his piece of paper. and the food... well at 3am nothing tastes better.

Its not the best food, and to be honest if you're a Evo driving yuppie you'll never come back once you've eaten there... and it's probably better kept that way too. But for a night with the lads its a decent meal, and a good setting for a fortnightly catchup.

Anything tastes good @ 3am

But we just went in there, ordered, it was average.

I could name a dozen places in the CBD as i eat Asian about 3-4 times a week that are all better than RK

Agree 100%

It doesnt claim to be the best restaurant in Melbourne. Its not aiming at the elite clientele, and doesnt boast how good its sevice is.

What it does do is offer a decent feed for a fair price. I know that each time i go there, I get a seat, my Chinese tea and a BBQ Pork on Rice for like $8.50. I have never had a bad meal there, but i dont expect it to be absolutely the most amazing meal ever either!

When i recommend it, its because its BYO, you can get a table for 12 people and you can have a good feed for under $20 per head

hahahaa i lvoed the "strangely incongruous glass chandelier looks like its brother might have been smashed by a Jackie Chan roundhouse kick in one of his earlier Hong Kong movies"

Sun Luk is my favourite in the Malvern area. Not cheap like China Bar, but it's good

Weekday lunchtime, all you can eat Yum Cha... best $$$ you will ever spend!

Pacific House on Victoria St is the place to go for duck IMO... there is one on Toorak Rd as well but its just not as... authentic

[phunky_monkey]

Agreed, Pacific house makes good duck!

I had excellent Peking Duck last night at the Fortune Hut in Montrose. Actually, all of their food so far has been really good.

My only complaint is their menu has far too much on it
