uli's restaurant

i tried this place last night and thought it was pretty good. i ordered the neptune schnitzel and it included 2 large pieces of schnitzel with baby shrimp and i think it was hollandaise sauce... the red cabbage and spaetzle complemented the schnitzel nicely (i wish there was a bigger helping though). their red cabbage was the best i've tasted in any local german restaurant here and it had a nice vibrant colour. the drink list was pretty varied too and includes agreatselection of european and local craft beers. we sat at the patio which was really nice and also heated. i would come back here on another beautiful day and just chill.

great food,greatservice

food is great. service not so much. got seated and right off the bat, the 4 of us started out with 2 side plates and 2 napkins. not sure if the server doesn't recognize that our kids need napkins too (issue #1). whatever.. next comes our order. paella soundsgreatbut $40 is a bit steep for lunch for one person. we order and the server asked if we wanted the paella for 1 or 2. we weren't aware that there was an option for 2 so that should have triggered a bit of explanation from the server. pricing wasn't anywhere to be found and she did not volunteer this piece of information (issue #2). i'm not sure why. we ended up having to ask her the price shortly after we placed or order so we don't encounter any surprises. $52. reasonable enough. next comes our kids meals. both were served with frites. though there were options for steak fries and salad. neither of which, our server asked us about (issue #3). i only realized it when i over heard the table behind us being asked by a different server. regardless the kids love the frites. when the kids meals came, the fork got knocked off the table. the server saw this and exclaimed verbally but didn't bother offering a replacement fork (issue #4). paella came. wow, quite large andgreatfor 2. midway through our meal our server decided to take our condiments away (issue #5). who does that?! we're in the middle of eating the frites and there was ketchup on the plate. i have no idea why she would do this... the kids shouldn't be eating so much ketchup anyway. my last complaint was that there was a hair in our paella (issue #6). we already finished 3/4 of it and we're not the type to complain about something small. i'm not interested in lame excuses by the restaurant or making it seem like we're trying to con them for a free $52 meal after finishing 3/4s of it. so whatever. i've seen worse.. we still packed up the remaining rice. i highly doubt i'll be coming back.

this used to be one of my favourite restaurants, but my last two meals here have been incredibly disappointing. the food and service aregreatwhen the owner is there. when he's not it's quite lackluster. the worst meal i had was one of their beer pairing dinners. they tell you to be there early then made us wait an hour and a half for it to start. no apologies or explanations. the food ranged from okay to almost inedible. the portions were tiny and combined with the beginning wait and the long wait in between dishes we were starving by the time it was over. i may never go back.

if you are looking for consistently good food, good service and a good experience - head to uli's. when it comes to beach front restaurants in white rock they really have it all: agreatview of the pier and ocean, plus an amazingly run business that i have never been disappointed by.

as a local who eats often at the beach, uli's is very frequently visited by us, and i am pleased to say that this restaurant never disappoints to live up to my expectations. whether it is an extremely busy summer day or a nearly empty winter afternoon they make customers a priority. they handle large groups and families with children as well.

food wise i think they again are consistently fantastic. their burgers (veggie burger included) are amazing and i have never met a single person who doesn't like them. alsogreatfries, and appies. every part of their menu is classic: simply delicious.

everyone is extremely flexible with meal adjustments and they are very helpful when it comes to accommodating allergies. gf. vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, you name it: and they are happy to provide what you need.

always helpful, friendly and efficient staff, and my #1 recommendation for a beach restaurant in white rock.

best on the white rock beach. one only needs to drive down the wrock beach strip on a sunny day & look in each restaurant along there, uli's is always packed...because the food isgreatand never disappointing!
staff are always accommodating - highly recommend

not impressed. we have been here years ago and thought we'd try it again after friends had raved about the hamburgers and calamari. we split a calamari and hamburger. the staff were all very nice and service was excellent. the waitress raved about their in house bacon and howgreatit was on the burger so we had that added. the burger was pretty good but the smoky flavour of the bacon was so strong that the taste of the meat was lost. the calamari was ok, but far from anything to rave about. in the end my opinion is that it was ok but nothing special. maybe some other menu items are amazing but at these prices, i'll be trying a lot of other places on the strip before i come back.

the tomato bocconcini was disappointing.greatidea with balsamic pearls but 3 pieces of small bocconcini?? insulting. the pasta was okay and we really enjoyed the crab cakes. for a busy place with regular customers i hope the rest of the menu is better.

best resturant in white rock!. i live in white rock and i've been to quite a few restaurants along the beach and since finding ulis a couple years back i don't go any were else's! the biggest thing for me, all the food is fresh and locally bought. the food is amazing, creative and clean! there drink menu is fantastic too and they have agreatselection of beers from around the word! ty and his staff are accommodating, fun and laid back!

love uli's in white rock. i live in east van wishing i lived in white rock to be closer to uli's. amazing food, friendly owner, views of the ocean while you eat....and amazing food!!greatprices too!! love it!!!!

have been going here for years and it keeps getting better! the food is fresh, varied and always yummy. tyson, the owner, who can often be found behind the bar, can always suggest agreatstarter cocktail or wine pairing to go with your food. the clientele is a mix of long-time regulars and passing beach-goers, and the ambience is fun and relaxed. agreatspot on white rock beach!!

awesome food,greatstaff, very friendly. i tell all my friend to go to uli's for a fabulous meal.
