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.

It’s our first visit; it’s a busy evening and we noticed many (most?) tables ordered the ALL YOU CAN EAT DUCK (AYCD). We can find duck filling in the spring rolls and it’s hot so it’s a good start. The duck filling in the San Choi Bao is very tasty but the portion is too little; the lettuce is of good quality. There’re minimal duck meat we can find in the duck fried rice and the seasoning of the fried rice is a bit weird, tasted a bit sour; the worst dish of the night. The signature crispy duck with pancake is something interesting; each order is half duck. Not exactly sure what happened but our first order took more than 30min to arrive, which is 1/3 of the allowed dining time, and the duck is over fried. We actually chased up 4-5 times with 3 people and the boss had to extend our dining time by 15min. Our second order arrived in 15min and is cooked properly. Staff are friendly with smile and you can see them working very hard but they’re just too busy so it’s definitely challenge to catch them for service. The ACYD are all duck dishes but it’s not really that many duck meats / fillings we have consumed.

$75 for set menu I was expecting bit more attention to detail. The Salt and Pepper Squid was cooked perfect although just lacking some sauce and garnish - otherwise fine. Dumplings were fine but doesn't stand out, felt like the same old Chinese take away. Again lacking that extra something. The Roast duck was yum but portion was too small and the greens for sides could have served 4 people. The steamed rice we received was for 2 but came out in 1 small bowl and was only enough for 1 person. I was waiting for another bowl of rice to come. San choy bow was great but also didn't stand out. And a scoop of plain old ice cream to finish. As for service, we had to basically call out and stop a waitress in her steps to order. Nil serving spoons were provided. I was expecting a little more on Kensington St as other restaurants haven't disappointed me yet.

Really good except when we arrived they advised we only had 1hr before closing, despite our on line booking advising we would have 90 mins. So it was a little rushed.

our duck was great and by far very nice! but the rest of the food was quite bland and cold. The dumplings were very small and cold. The fried rice balls were flavourless and the wagyu noodles was very salty and inedible. My friend and I also could not drink the cocktails they were very quite distasteful. Nonetheless the duck was the star, however unfortunately everything was not ideal

The staff were not attentive after placing the food order. On the booking it was mentioned that it was a booking for a birthday, they did not even ask. The duck was listed as a peking duck. It was very dry and not worth the 80 dollars. Would not visit again.
