This place is owned and operated by the former restaurant owners and operators of Kings Jade just off High Street in Templestowe.

They originally started with a single store and quickly expanded to include next door.

Their specialties are the roasts - duck, pork, bbq pork and chicken. Whilst these dishes are of a good quality as are other dishes like fish fillets with sweet corn, the big bugbear for us was the fact that this place charges per BOWL for rice and not per person. At $2 it's a bit of overkill. It's like saying that you visit a Western restaurant and they charge you $2 for every piece of bread you want...

The only way as a result to enjoy the food was to take away and have as much rice as you want with the dishes at home!

I think that if they were like other restaurants and charged per person, the value equation would be much better and so would the rating. As far as the food goes, it is a good to very good quality, depending on what you order. We also found variations in quality on different visits. Some days the food was brilliant and other days we don't know what went wrong in the kitchen where it ranged from okay to just good.

Approximate cost: $15

tucked away in the greythorn is a place where you can go to find really nice roast duck. the service there is a little bit ordinary but you generally just go there for the food. there aren't many places to sit so be sure to book beforehand
