About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Located smack-bang between Central and Broadway, you’ll find Holy Duck! on Sydney’s favourite foodie laneway, Kensington Street. This is modern-Chinese cuisine at its ducking best. You’ll be saying “duck me!” when you taste how they transform traditional dishes into exciting new favourites. With a diverse menu of casual eats and next-level Chinese BBQ, Holy Duck! is a nod to the joys of Chinese street food.

Watch as the chefs expertly prepare crispy, succulent ducks from the huge, traditional hanging gallery. They’re delicious! Not in the mood to duck? No worries. There’s plenty of other meat and vegetarian options. Love hot and spicy? Just ask your friendly waiter for more chilli; that’ll really set off some firecrackers.

    Great value banquet with plenty of tasty food for big eaters. Table service is pretty bad - slow an unattentive. I also hate paying for still water. Our table had both still and sparkling and they took every opportunity to fill the glasses so they could charge us more for water but they didn't ask whether we were drinking still or sparkling, just randomly filled glasses.

    The food was excellent and so was the service. Value for the quantity of food is reasonable. I would recommend this for lovers of duck dishes.

    We did the all-you-can-eat duck package and the meal was definitely quantity over quality, but this is kind of to be expected I guess. The starters were fine, a bit light on the duck. For the duck pancakes - the pancakes were a bit thicker than I expected, and the duck was a bit dry. Not terrible, but not great. The duck fried rice, however, was very strange. It seemed to be cooked with whole grain mustard? In any case, none of our table ate the fried rice. Overall, if you just want to stuff your face with duck pancakes then go for it, but manage your expectations accordingly.

    Food was ok. Portion was small. Service was terrible, way understaffed. Left our birthday cake in the freezer and cake came out frozen. Not impressed. Overall was not a satisfying dining experience!

    Lovely restaurant and experience. The crispy duck was a tad dry for me so the roasted duck was more enjoyable as it was more tender and juicy.
