About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood 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 experience, the hardest thing is choosing with eating option to go with. The Duck is the highlight and friendly staff. Sharing with mates is important.

    My friend and I were intending to have the duck all you can eat however once we learnt that we had to finish two starter courses and fried rice before the duck pancakes, it seems like a better idea to order from the a la carte menu. We ordered a 1/4 duck which gave us 2 pancakes each, a plate of gai lan vegetables, and the platter of pork belly + BBQ pork with two bowls of plain rice. The meal was enjoyable, however not the best value and the duck was a bit overcooked and dry. The pork belly was very succulent and melt in your mouth like butter texture however the BBQ pork was also a bit dry and was nothing compared to what you'd get from a Chinese BBQ shop. The portions were on the small side for the price paid as well, however the ambience was stylishly decorated and the service a bit inattentive but polite.
