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 :-)

Banquet menu had lots of variety - Edit
Decent set menu at $44, lots of variety in the menu although not huge portions. Favourites included the dumplings and crispy broccoli. Not a big inside space so needs booking. Staffing wasn’t great - they tried to take food away when we were not finished, and were not attentive with eg. refilling water.

Great! - Edit
The Korean fried broccoli is amazing! Pricey considering the portion size, but reasonable enough. If going with a group, I would recommend sharing. Gets very noisy and packed, especially around dinner time. Staff are very attentive and friendly IF you've got a reservation (from my experience).

Avoid the banquet menu. Just order what you want - Edit
I’ve been to Yulli’s 3 times and so I feel like I can give a fair review. Although, as someone who grew up eating Asian food and working in hospitality, I will admit I have high standards and this review of an Asian fusion place will reflect that.
Read moreThe first time I went with a few couples and shared with my partner, second time I had the banquet menu, third time recently, we shared a bunch of things as a table. I would recommend the latter.
Avoid the banquet menu as you really don’t get much and so you cant enjoy the food as much. The thing about asian fusion, is that you can’t expect it to taste how you normally would have it so Yulli’s take on certain foods can be a hit or miss, depending on what you like. Perhaps that is why I think the sticky date was there it best, as it tasted as close to how it should. Overall it was interesting but I don’t think they have the balance right in each dish and so nothing blew me away.
Staff also aren’t very attentive to refills of water which to me is a basic requirement for a review of a restaurant.

Perfect - Edit
Definitely entered my top 3 of the best restaurants ever tried. We took the banquet menu and it was special. All really good. Nothing to say. Excellent value for money

Meh - Edit
Yulli's serves Australian-Asian fusion in a very casual setting. Seating arrangements were uncomfortable and very tightly squeezed together. Dishes were oily and sweet. I would generally describe the food as “pub food”. Fittingly, they also seem to brew their own beers. We tried their mandarin IPA which was good, far better than any of the dishes we ordered.

Amazing Food - Edit
Yulli's is incredible in terms of food, drinks, and atmosphere. I have been going since they were vego rather than vegan, and while I miss the old zucchini flowers, everything else has only gotten better.
Read moreAlso highly recommend visiting their brewery, as it is a treat.
Pros: Delicious food, Good selection of wines, Yulli's Brews beers
Cons: Not cheap (though reasonable), Can be noisy

Come for the desserts - Edit
We had the taster menu. Deserts are exquisite! Other courses were mostly spicy, so if you can't handle spice, just order a la carte. If you love spice, this is the place for you!
Read morePros: Taster menu allows lots of variety, Desserts were exceptional, Fast service
Cons: Lots of spicy dishes , Only two mocktail choices , Door was open so a bit chilly

Creative, authentic, but some dishes need rework - Edit
Firstly, the staff member who received us seemed like she didn't want to work anymore, even though the place was empty except for maybe for customers. After bringing us the menu as an afterthought, another less moody staff member took our order. The san choy bow brings a subtle sweet aftertaste amongst the initial intense rush of spices, and the zucchini flowers have this lusciously smooth cheesy filling with a beetroot bang that definitely pairs well, even for beet haters like me. The leek dumplings tasted more like scallions, and the wasabi cauliflower seemed like two separate dishes that someone forgot to mix, still tasted OK. The cauliflower papardele seemed to need some more cheese flavor, but also tasted OK. In general, I think they deserve extra stars for dating a bit and for working out some great combinations, but some dishes still need some adjustments.
Read morePros: Good food, OK price, Creative choices
Cons: Questionable service, Some dishes need some adjustments

Dessert is the best part! - Edit
Warning: the cauliflower papardelle is spicy (at least for people with low tolerance), other than that good.
Read moreThe kale and saltbush gyoza were delicious, especially the sauce. The server took our plate away quickly without saying anything/looking at us though when we finished the gyoza but we wanted the sauce.
Dessert was the best part. We got chocolate soufflé and sticky date pudding, both delicious! Some of the best dessert I’ve had since going vegan.

Great spot good flavours - Edit
Had a really good chilled meal with a friend, booked a later table and was left to chill and chat over some great dishes. The brocollini with chilli jam was the stand out. A gluten free menu is available to help with other dietary requirements.

Pros: Good choices, Cool vibes, Brocollini

Top quality international cuisine - Edit
This is one of those fancy restaurants where every dish has multiple flavours and textures interacting in creative ways. The waiting staff were very helpful in allowing us to get 5 items with each dish for easier splitting amongst 5 people. We had dumplings, "money bag" pastry parcels, cauliflower pasta, mushrooms and even more dishes to share. I couldn't fault anything
Read morePros: Top quality and variety of fully vegan food

Come here for birthdays and events! - Edit
Five stars! Yulli’s consistently has the most DELICIOUS vegan food! Portions are large and flavours are so creative and interesting. Yullis also make their own beers. So good your non vegan friends will love coming here. Only downside is that the interior is a bit crammed. Tables are very close together and some parts are not well lit. Steps to the upstairs area are also very steep
Read morePros: All vegan , Good value , Inventive
Cons: Crammed
