Superlative Vegan restaurant

This is one of the very best Vegan restaurants I have ever experienced
The banquet selection for 2 or more people is magnificent, 3 courses of 3 dishes each is a wonderful smorgasbord of tastes, textures and sensations
Plus 3 desserts to finish the delight
And it is very good value for such fine food and presentation
I loved it
A gushing review I know but this place is really that good
And it can all be gluten free if you want

Pros: Taste sensational , Presentation wonderful , Good value

Cons: No negatives

Great food!

We had a large group of 8 (only a few vegans!) and everyone loved the banquet meal.

Pros: Food, Banquet

Cons: A little noisy but isn’t everywhere?!

A vegan institution

You can see why this place has lasted (and long may it stay around). An extensive menu with something to appeal to everyone's taste and dishes in different sizes to allow for different appetites but also the chance to try a few things. The banquet at $51pp is excellent value. The food is pretty delicious and beautifully presented.
Lovely staff, a choice of indoor or outdoor dining.

Pros: Lots of choice, Outdoor dining is a great option on a nice day

Stunning experience

Everything about Yulli’s was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious. The ambience great and the service was excellent as well.
My not vegan friend commented ‘ if I could eat like this every day, I definitely be vegan’. I think that says it all.

Exquisite Fusian Vegan Dining

Yulli’s is one of the best Asian fusion vegan dining places that I’ve been to so far in Sydney. My non vegan friend who is usually very picky with his tastebuds enjoyed the dishes very much. Quite pricey for the portions but great for sharing with companions otherwise. An unexpected favourite of mine is the Korean Fried Broccolini. All the dishes came out quickly for us was a bonus.


Dropped back into Yulli’s Surry Hills to check out their limited‑run yum cha collab with one of the invited chefs from Bodhi (the beloved former plant‑based yum cha institution). The menu leans playful—some dishes clearly riffing on tradition, others nudged toward a more Western palate—but the experience as a whole felt fun, comforting, and nostalgic.

A few plates tipped into the too salty zone, but the standouts really shone. The spring rolls were crisp, aromatic and beautifully balanced; the steamed mapo tofu arrived silky, warming and full of depth; and the mango tapioca pudding was the perfect soft‑set, tropical finish. A creative little yum cha moment that’s worth catching while it’s still on.

Loved it!

Got a ton of food, crushed it. Definitely make a reservation. Favorites were the Shiitake Mushroom Balls and the Crispy Edamame Eggplant, which had a really tasty creamy coconut sauce. Appreciated that the menu was focused on veggies, and not imitating meats. Server was incredibly kind and gave us tips on other vegan spots they recommended. Liked that they serve their own beer as well - we had a Grapefruit IPA that was lovely. A top spot during our time in Sydney, for sure.

Fantastic place

We had a wonderful meal here. My stuffed courgette flowers in particular were amazing but everything we had was delicious. To finish we shared the Kanafe desert - lovely!

Competent, tasty, casually fancy

We were able to try a wide variety of dishes, from zucchini flowers to the gyoza to the Vietnamese pancakes to the calzone. Everything executed quite well, but perhaps a little short of memorable. The fusion-y array of options puzzled some of my friends but I don’t mind especially. This place is a 4.5 in my book—nothing wrong with it in any way, just a bit less than 5 stars especially in a world class city.

Oh my gosh

I love everything about this place. I’ve been back twice now; the staff are great, food comes out pretty quickly, the menu is extensive without being overwhelming and the food is literally so good.
I enjoy every single dish I’ve had and will continue to come back for more.
Absolute highlight is the Kunefe dessert though 🤤

When you go, make sure you get a very many dishes and share amongst yourselves. It’s absolutely the best way!

Every time I go here I love it so much. It’s become my regular birthday spot.

Exceptional flavours!

Exceptional flavours and that is that! Too good a dining experience to walk past. I quite liked the table setting outside which was like intimate style eating down the side of an inner alley/laneway. You cannot fault the food and why would you try to, anyway? I love and will support any vegan establishment. This one is just another level.

Vegan banquet

We went for dinner and had the banquet so we got a bit of everything which was nice. Everything dish a little bit different and something new which was fun. It was a LOT of food so go hungry if you want to try the banquet.

Good fully vegan place

Many alternatives, the broccolini was great, the crispy tofu kind of meh. Service was OK but not amazing. If you like jazz, they have live performances, but in a separate section, so if you don't like it, you'll be fine.

Pros: Fully vegan, with interesting choices, Nice selection of beer

Cons: Not all dishes were amazing

A Surry Hills Classic We Still Come Back To

Yulli’s has been part of the Surry Hills dining scene for years, and we first ate here long before we went vegan. These days it is one of our go to spots for special occasions. The food is always very delicious with a strong focus on whole food ingredients, and it is a place we happily bring non-vegan friends who always love the dishes. The only downside is that some plates rely on very similar sauces or condiments, which can make the flavours blur together a bit. The staff are lovely, but service can be hit or miss, sometimes they are run off their feet or not very helpful with menu recommendations. Despite that, it is still a place we enjoy returning to.

Wonderful

Perhaps the best meal of my visit in Sydney.

I had:
Coconut and edamame money bags (10/10)
Zucchini Flowers (10/10)
Artichoke Calzone (6/10)
Kanafe with Baklava Ice Cream -- ice cream there, kanafe to go (9.5/10)
Cream Cauliflower Papperdelle - to go (10/10)

As you can see, pretty much everything was mind blowing. The money bags and zucchini flowers were so good they made me want to cry. The Calzone tasted great but was immediately soggy unfortunately (despite eating it there). The kanafe was spectacular, and the Papperdelle tasted great and held up well as a takeout dish that I ate later on the plane.

Staff was so kind and helpful. Amazing place, hope to go back one day!

Pros: Delicious food , Nice staff

Excellent experience - great food

Friendly staff and excellent food.
Great selection of mushrooms dishes, including the braised king mushrooms, which was superb, leaving the appetite of wanting more. Highly recommend the mushrooms and their greens. There are lots of choices on the menu.
This venue offers a great experience of delicious vegan food.
Well done ⭐️

Amazing modern asian vegan food 🤤

Really good food overall — my favorites were the salad and papaya salad, both super fresh and flavorful. The desserts were incredible too — beautifully presented and the perfect sweet ending. Loved the creative mix of the food.

Terrific dinner out

Excellent fully vegan menu. We came in a group of 4 and all had the feed me which was good value at $51 per person. There was plenty of food and we all left full. Every dish was delicious.
As other reviews have mentioned, it is very loud and crammed inside. We ordered a bottle of wine and one cocktail and the cocktail came out very fast but the wine took a significant period. The food also took a long time to come, then all came at once and we were rushed through the courses a little. The waitress initially brought us the wrong bottle of wine and wasn’t very friendly when we pointed it out.
Overall still a great experience with delicious food but service could be improved. Would definitely still return 😊💚
