ULI delivers stylish Pan-Asian cuisine with attentive service and a modern vibe, but expect premium prices and occasional inconsistencies.
ULI delivers competitive neighborhood dining with attentive, friendly service and modern, attractive design that create an appealing experience. However, inconsistent execution—particularly with signature dishes like Peking duck—and premium pricing (£35-45 per person) without consistent excellence prevent it from reaching grade A territory. Worth visiting for standout dim sum and Pad Thai, but not a citywide destination.
ULI brings a stylish Pan-Asian experience to Marylebone, blending Chinese, Thai, and Southeast Asian flavors in a modern, welcoming space. The bright decor and attentive service set the stage for a meal that feels both special and relaxed, whether you're out for a casual dinner or celebrating with friends. Signature dishes like dim sum dumplings, Pad Thai, and lemongrass sea bass earn high marks for flavor and presentation, though some diners find the prices a bit steep for the portion sizes and occasional inconsistencies. The culinary approach here is contemporary fusion, offering a broad menu that appeals to adventurous eaters and those seeking variety. Expect creative takes on classics—think beautifully plated dim sum, inventive starters, and a mix of familiar and unique mains. While most guests rave about the food, a few note that certain dishes (especially Peking duck) can be hit-or-miss, and festive set menus may not always deliver on value. For families: ULI is generally family-friendly, with approachable dishes like spring rolls, fried rice, and dumplings that kids can enjoy. However, there is no dedicated children's menu, and some reviews mention spice levels or portion sizes that may not suit all young diners. The menu includes vegetarian and vegan options, making it a flexible choice for groups with diverse preferences. If your kids are picky or sensitive to spice, it's worth checking with staff before ordering.
