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.

Delightful restaurant, quietly tucked away from the bustle of Oxford Street. The staff could not have been more charming and attentive. We were only 1 of 5 tables of customers the day we went. The only slight criticism was the level of the music when we arrived and as soon as we asked for it to be turned down they did and also put on more gentle music. We were there for over 3 hours and at no point ever felt we should be moving on or out. Very relaxing vibe. The dim sum was delicious. Thank you for a memorable lunch

Excellent service, very attentive and quick. We picked a lot of the fried items which were quite heavily battered.

Really delicious, interesting Thai fusion food, with excellent views of Tower Bridge if you sit outside. Service was friendly, though we had to wait too long to order. Only real complaint is the loud, trashy nightclub music they play, totally inappropriate to the venue. Do the staff pick this to entertain themselves? Surely customers don’t want it, unless this is what tourists expect to hear everywhere these days? Or are they hoping to attract a young, downmarket clientele?

Food was overall pretty good- we had the satay, nasi lemak which was excellent. The laksa was also very good, however I would have preferred it with egg and vermicelli noodles. We also had the ice kachang which was pretty bad - they did remove it from the bill when we mentioned it wasn't nice. There had been mixed reviews due to the hype - it's definitely worth going to for the satay and nasi lemak.
