uluh is a modern Chinese restaurant and tea house at 152 Second Avenue in the East Village, between 9th and 10th Streets. Its menu travels across China and Asia, from Beijing-style roast duck to Sichuan heat, and it draws diners who want regional range and a serious tea list at one table.
The kitchen roasts its signature Peking Duck daily for crisp skin and juicy meat. It also offers Cantonese dim sum, Shanghainese soup dumplings, Sichuan dry pot and Singaporean seafood (uluh). Tea gets equal billing, with a selection of globally sourced leaves and a traditional afternoon tea service. The sleek, stylish dining room suits a long, shared meal, and a separate VIP room is available for groups.
