uli's restaurant

on a friend's last night in vancouver for a while, we decided to go to white rock, but couldn't decide on a restaurant. once we got there, we randomly just picked uli's. well it wasn't that random, as i had 3-4 restaurants that i wanted to try, but wasn't sure which to pick.uli'swas right infront of my parking spot. upon walking in we saw a local newspaper clipping taped to the wall saying best burger in town. seemed like a cool place. we ordered the perogies and calamari to start. unfortunately they came out fairly cool, actually a little colder than room temperature, not sure if it was because it was really cold outside on that march night… aside from that though the flavours were good. the calamari was airy and light, and not too crispy. the squid was tender. it was fried well, and served with tzatziki sauce. they had some hot chillies to add a bit of spice. would've been better if it came out hot. aside from the cold factor, the perogies were

it is pretty expensive at $19 for a burger, so it should be really good.  the burger is good.  not sure it justifies the price, but okay, at least it's good.  the bigger issue here is the service.  very nice servers, so not faulting them, as such, but there is something about the way the place is managed because it took 90 minutes from sitting down before our burgers arrived.  that time is absurd and guess what, it's not the first time this has happened!

on top of that, the server took our drink orders, but there were six of us and she took the order for the four near her and then left, not even asking about what the other two wanted.  that was strange.  when my beer arrived, after about 15 minutes, it was not the beer i ordered.  not a big deal in itself because they changed it quickly, but part of the whole confusion and long wait.  

when we finally got our burgers, we got an apology and free dessert.  that was a really nice gesture and much appreciated, but really, i would just rather get the burger a little sooner. i mean, at $19 it should be good and it should be served a little quicker.  reading other reviews, i'm not the only one this has happened to so i hopeuli'swill get it together because it is a nice place.

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: a great view 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'sis 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. also great fries, 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'sis always packed...because the food is great and never disappointing!
staff are always accommodating - highly recommend

uli's is the best on the beach.uli'sis the only restaurant that we go to on a weekly basis. we have never, ever had either disappointing food or service.

my favorite meal is theuli'sburger, try adding sauerkraut to it! i am one of the only people to do it and its amazing. get it on the side though, because the juice can make the bun a bit soggy. the drink that i get there every time is the bartenders lemonade, the candied lemon is possibly my favorite part.

also, being very allergic to flour i love that there are only three things on the menu that i cannot eat. i am use to going to places i'm stuck with salads or plain chicken. however, i can get pasta, and i am able to eat beef burgers which i can hardly ever eat. no more plain food for me! at last, after years, i can finally have a burger.

i would highly recommenduli'sto anyone, i even sent my own customers there! while prices are a bit higher than most people are used to, its well worth it because they get the highest quality ingredients and support local stores and farmers.

amazing!. i am so shocked after having read the reviews on this place. i have been coming here for years and i have never been disappointed with the food or the service (which are both excellent). yes, the food might be more expensive than what people are used to, but that is because most of the ingredients are local and ethically farmed which turns out to be more expensive in the long run. it is worth it for the peace of mind and the delicious taste! i usually get the schnitzel or either of the burgers when i go touli'sand i don't know how anyone could find anything bad to say about either (especially their in house bacon which is fantastic). i also love this place because they have an excellent selection of beers and are willing to pour it into a boot for you. it really livens up a dinner party.
keep it up, you guys are doing a marvelous job. best in white rock.

disappointed. we went touli'sfor lunch today on a dreary saturday. when we walked in, there was only one other table occupied - perhaps a portent of things to come?

our server was wonderful - attentive, and full of spark. then again, we were only one of two tables in the restaurant.

i ordered the chowder (described as "clams fish cream" on the menu) and the caesar salad. the caesar salad was a caesar salad - nothing outstanding, but a good solid salad.

the chowder was disappointing. it had some small shrimp scattered through it, and some basic body. but there didn't seem to be a recognizable clam in the mix, nor any fish. it didn't taste bad, but since i'm not a shrimp lover, and was ordering the chowder on the advertised "clams fish cream", it fell flat.

my companion had the schnitzel forester. she reported that the schnitzel was a little dry, the roast potatoes were also dry (but then again, roasted). the mushrooms on the schnitzel were nice, and they weren't the run-of-the-mill button mushrooms. she also said that the salad was quite nice - it had a citrus-balsamic vinaigrette that was refreshing and tasty.

the coffee was good, and our server was attentive. but all in all, it was a disappointing visit.

you gotta eat here!. this place is such a delight. friendly staff, wonderful view, and awesome food! i am hooked onuli'srestaurant. i take my friends there all the time. i even go there by myself for a self date, haha!

we love uli's. my wife and i have 3 kids and never get a chance to go out. i will turn down a night out in vancouver to spend the night atuli'son the bar side. the food is amazing, the menu is eclectic, the people at the bar are always cool to chat with, and the servers are knowledgeable and supported by some of the best foodies in the lower mainland.

loveuli'sin 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!! great prices too!! love it!!!!

awesome food, great staff, very friendly. i tell all my friend to go touli'sfor a fabulous meal.
