Uluh is a Chinese restaurant and teahouse at 152 Second Avenue in Manhattan’s East Village, between 9th and 10th Streets. It draws diners for a menu of more than a hundred dishes from across China and a list of more than thirty teas (Wikipedia).
The kitchen roasts its signature Peking duck daily, aiming for crisp skin over juicy meat (Yelp). Around it, the menu ranges from Cantonese dim sum and Shanghainese soup dumplings to Sichuan dry pot and Singaporean seafood (uluh). The spacious, deliberately simple room uses long communal tables, and pop art on the walls gives it a modern feel (AroundUs). Pair spicy Sichuan plates with a pot from the tea list, which leans on globally sourced leaves.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Uluh opens at 11:30am daily. It closes at 10pm Sunday through Thursday and at 10:30pm on Friday and Saturday, and holiday hours may vary (uluh). For the main dining room, call (917) 261-5963 between 11:30am and 6pm on weekdays. Weekday lunches and early dinners are calmer than weekend evenings. Order the duck for a group and add soup dumplings to share. The 6 train at Astor Place and the L at Third Avenue are both short walks away. St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery sits at the next corner north.
