Holy Duck is modern Chinese restaurant which gives an alternative option on how to enjoy duck with Chinese flavours. I recommend the roasted duck with their signature plumb sauce. The sauce isn't too strong and balances off the oil of the duck skin. The deep fried duck is also interesting, but I personally prefer the roasted version. It would be good if soup noodles were offered as an alternative to the rice, in particular during winter time. Would come back again!

The restaurant's design and atmosphere were aesthetically pleasing. The service was lacking, as the waitress did not engage much upon our arrival. She simply greeted us and brought a bottle of tap water to the table, which we poured ourselves. Our order consisted of the signature Crispy duck, pork belly, and steamed Chinese greens. The steamed greens arrived first, a simple dish of vegetables with oyster sauce poured from a bottle and topped with fried shallots. After a 10-minute wait, the crispy duck was served. To our surprise, it was deep-fried rather than the usual roasted duck with crispy skin. The waitress used forks to remove all the meat from the bone, leaving us puzzled. The duck tasted old and overly salty, as if it had been boiled, frozen, and then deep-fried. Unfamiliar with this style of deep-fried duck, we decided to give it a try, only to be disappointed. When we informed a waitress of our dissatisfaction, she offered to replace it with the traditional roasted duck but provided no apology or explanation before promptly removing the duck from the table. The service left much to be desired, and it appeared that there was no manager present. Overall, the experience was quite shocking. Please avoid.
We had a lovely dinner at Holy Duck, the food and accompanying sauce was delicious. We loved the popcorn chicken, it was crispy and piping hot and juicy in the inside. They didn’t taste oily at all. The dumplings and fried rice balls were also delicious. The crispy skin chicken was a little bit too dry for me by the sauce was yummy. They had a great range of drink including cocktails and mocktails. The staff were friendly and the fortunes cookies at the end were a nice touch. If you’re going in a group. They don’t split bills, just something to keep in mind.
Dropped in after an earlier movie .. Holy Duck is a bit of a staple and consistent. The signature crispy duck served with pancakes, is always good & the 1/2 just right for 2 .. scallops on shells are a real treat. Service is good and food is delivered fast. Highly recommended.
