yulli's

unfortunately unreliable and tasteless vegan options. whilst i always try to support restaurants offering vegan options, unfortunately dinner at yullis this evening was really bad - the tofu in the spring rolls was dry and bland (the kind of dish that gives tofu a bad name), the garlic rice in the vegetable kratiam was gluggy, flavourless and actually cold, and then after we'd specified that we're vegan and ordered only vegan options, the waiter put fantales on our table with the bill, clearly not vegan...
this was the second time we'd been there - the first time the same dishes were much better... different chefs for different nights?
really disappointing and we will never go back.

yulli's is a great restaurant fusing australian and asian cuisine together. we came in a large group and ordered a variety of dishes. service was friendly and relatively fast. the stand out dish for us was probably the mushroom and vegetable skewers and chilli and thai basil flat rice noodles. the dishes were full of flavour and presented beautifully, though servings were a bit small. overall, however, we had a very pleasant dining experience and would not hesitate to come again!

best place to be for vegetarian and vegan folks. they have a variety of options and good taste as well. comfortable ambience and friendly staff.

  “ask not what you can do for your country. ask what for lunch.” orson welles i remember the first time i went to yulli’s . i read a lot of good reviews on yulli’s and recommended that we go there for lunch one fine saturday. my boyfriend, the non-vegetarian, agreed, but quickly gave me a frowned look when we got there and he realised that there’s no meat on the menu. luckily, he spotted a vegetarian burger with halloumi cheese  and he was instantly a happy man. fast forward a few months, we have been to yulli a few more times and it has become one of our favourite spots for weekend lunches. it’s not easy to find an eating spot that caters to both of our dietary and dining preferences, so i was over the moon when both of us were equally impressed with yulli’s food and service on our first visit. great spot at the heart of surry hills, great food, good service, awesome presentation, tick, tick, tick. yulli’s menu is largely seasonal  with some popular signature dishes that are availabl

loved the aura. we were given a table at the back which gave our group privacy so we were able to have conversations. the food was really good and the service and attention paid to us was great! they made sure to arrange the right portion of their savoury dishes to match the group size. entire menu is vegan and definitely worth the money! recommend the sticky date pudding and the sweet potato donuts (if you like chewy dough-y donuts). would go back again!!

very nice. was a little hard to get a seat, but the food was really nice and it's a cool restaurant. any vegetarian restaurant is to be applauded in my opinion! yullis sure beats all the other restaurants on that strip x

as a carnivore i found this place surprisingly refreshing. i will definitely come back

the service is a+ really friendly and accommodating. my biggest pet peeve? the award table and seating arrangement. the tables are very low and the are kind of tall. it's a little uncomfortable to sit that way.

the sticky date pudding is delicious. i always order this dish every chance i get. it wasn't exactly too sweet. we ordered a few things to share between the 3 of us. some of the dumplings weren't balanced out right - some just downright too sweet.

i had never been to a vegetarian restaurant until yulli's.  my friend had dietary requirement on that day and yulli's became the only dinner option.  i was definitely dubious but what a mind opener. i didn't know vegetarian food could taste this good. we ordered halloumi, an eggplant dish and tofu laksa. they were all great especially the laksa. i was content after the meal and changed my perception about vegetarian food.

i went here for lunch on a saturday with my fiancee. being a general non vegetarian least of all vegan, i was a bit unsure of what to expect but i am very happy to say it was a great experience and i will go there again!

food: we had 1 each of the small, medium and large plates. to begin, edamame and coconut moneybags - perfectly fried with a crisp buttery batter. the soft edamame balanced the texture well and the coconut sang through. next was korean fried broccolini with sticky sauce. the fry was delicate, much like good tempura. the sauce was sweeter than i wanted but the crushed almond balanced it out well. finally, the miso eggplant with wild rice salad. this was my favourite dish by far - eggplant was smoky and creamy and the coriander garnish along with the tomatoes added brilliant flavour and sweetness.

value: generally i like my meat so i end up paying for it. i was pleasantly surprised at how cheap the meal was - $55 for only three dishes! given the location, service and quality this is the best you could ask for. i imagine you would get a couple of steaks at the clock across the road for as much and it wouldn't be nearly as good.

service: very quick to serve and bring out the food. we weren't there at peak time but very impressed nonetheless.

overall yulli's does exquisitely in proving that vegans can experience high dining at reasonable cost. will recommend to my meat eating friends!

frustrating experience for mother's day booking. i have made a booking weeks in advance and confirmed however on the actual day (today morning) turns out to be no booking by one of the staff's mistake. and they are not even willing to do anything about it which is a terrible customer service. i cannot rate for whatever food they've got yet their customer service is just beyond disappointment.

awesome ambience and food. nice, light, interesting food. the zucchini flowers and the vietnamese crepe were great. the cocktails were a bit of a let down for the price ($15). the ambience is what seals the deal for this place, especially the low lights and the lounge-style seats. an added bonus is that the place is open for dinner until late (at least on friday nights), unlike many in surry hills. will come again!

yum yum yum vegan and craft beer heaven. everything on this menu can be made vegan and the list of local craft beers is nice and long! every time we go we have a great time and leave so full and satisfied (hungry just thinking about it). everything on the menu is unique and creative with things like deep fried zucchini flowers stuffed with an incredible savory mix of pearl barley with a hint of earl grey tea, dumplings drizzled in an delicious sweet soy sauce or their own falafel which you wrap in a giant leaf! best vegan place in sydney!

loved the place! was here on a wednesday afternoon so only one table with 4 people was occupied. they had a separate vegan menu! it only got better from there ☺i ordered a portion of vietnamese pancakes (5/5) and then indulged in a 100% vegan choco lava cake 😍 (5/5)

overall a brilliant visit. super happy. staff was extremely courteous and friendly 💕

i ordered the tofu and the dumplings. i think the only thing worth coming here for is the dumplings. and even then, don't bother, you are not missing out on anything spectacular. the tofu was a tasteless slab of soft tofu with some super sweet sauce and some noodles which looked like styrofoam. flavorless and a massive disappointment and an offense to tofu!! prices aren't ridiculous but i definitely won't come back. the waitress was very unfriendly as well which put us off even more.
