Trendy veggie wine bar in funky neighbourhood - Edit
EDIT: Almost 12 years later I went back to check this place out. Delighted it's still there, still awesome and now completely vegan!
Read moreHaving heard a lot about this place I shepherded my vegan husband and 5 friends (ranging from the vegetarian to the carnivorous) to Yulli's on the night of my 30th birthday. It's in a very boho neighbourhood and makes a lovely walk from the centre of Sydney along Crown street lined with bars and boutiques. Yulli's was not a disappointment - it had a trendy wine bar vibe with a good varied menu and a separate menu for vegans, as well as a good choice of vegan wine & beer. Food was varied and unusual (my husband & his omnivore friend both said the bitter melon pancakes topped with thai curry were the best meal they'd ever had) and service was friendly and efficient. Downsides were that it was very cramped - they seemed to have gone for quantity of covers over comfort of diners, although I guess you can't blame a small business for that, pretty pricey and again didn't stay open as late as you'd expect on a Thursday in a 24-hr city! But still comes very highly recommended and well worth a visit - it's an unusual experience and very nice to be in a trendy wine bar that's all veggie :-)

Good fully vegan place - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, with interesting choices, Nice selection of beer
Cons: Not all dishes were amazing

A Surry Hills Classic We Still Come Back To - Edit
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 - Edit
Perhaps the best meal of my visit in Sydney.
Read moreI 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!

Amazing modern asian vegan food 🤤 - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreAs 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 😊💚

Terrific food; great night out with friends - Edit
We were a party of 4 and each chose the $47 fixed price, 4 course menu. I also did the drink pairing for $100 total. The food was fresh, inventive, and satisfying. All the courses had standouts, nothing disappointed. Vibe was energetic and positive with fully packed house on a Tuesday night in the winter. Reservations are recommended.

Must-Try for Vegans - Edit
My friend and I got the banquet, which was very filling, delicious, and worth the money! I can be indecisive when it comes to choosing a single dish, so the banquet was perfect for getting a little taste of everything.

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.
Read moreI 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!

Exquisite Fusian Vegan Dining - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Not far from Central station, Plenty of seating
Cons: Can be pricey, Small portions
