Notting Hill

About the restaurant

Honest, homely and simple traditional Asian cooking

Located at Notting Hill Gate, ULI offers a fresh, honest approach to Asian cuisine. Natural limed oak, soft tones of blue and contemporary art give the restaurant a clean and informal look, highlighted by a hanging garden of pendant lights. Our menu encompasses carefully selected dishes from Asia, all prepared using traditional Chinese, Thai, Malay and Singaporean disciplines. We believe that Asian food should be clean, fresh and healthy, and that each dish should always be made from scratch.

Originally established on the All Saints Road in 1997, ULI became a firm favourite among locals and critics alike. At its new home ULI serves lunch and dinner all week as well as an extensive range of snacks, cocktails and beverages.

I have been to this place a number of times. It looks like it’s lost its charm compared to the past. The service was just ok and so was the food

Fitzrovia

About the restaurant

We focus on bringing good things together.

We’re a local restaurant, but we think big. We believe in breaking down barriers to connect the best things in life: diverse cuisines, different experiences and new friends. If that means throwing out the rulebook and doing things a bit differently, then that’s exactly what we do.

From having our chefs serve our food, to putting a bar on the street outside our restaurant.

If it works, it works.

Our 70-seater restaurant features a walk up outdoor bar, a chef’s counter downstairs and a large dining room on the ground floor.

Expect Asian inspired food, cocktails and sake.
