We celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed the unique flavors, the atmosphere, and the great view from our table right by the beach. A wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion! All of the employees we interacted with were friendly and personable.

Delivered on every front, and rly made our anniversary feel special! Beautiful ocean view, great food, and service that struck exactly the right balance between attentive and unobtrusive. The tableside poke presentation was great, even if the seasoning was a little salty for our taste. Still, quality was top notch across everything we ordered, and we seriously loved the banana soufflé. Our server also made the evening feel genuinely special without being over the top. Defo 5/5 and would totally recommend - can’t wait to go back!

I’m honestly very disappointed. What happened to my beloved Ulu? I have stayed here for one week every January and February for years, and Ulu used to be one of the highlights of my stay. It felt special, elegant, and thoughtfully curated. After the renovation, however, it now feels like a generic hotel breakfast restaurant with no character or charm. This time, I ordered the crab noodles. For a dish that cost over $60, it was shockingly underwhelming. It was served in what looked like a small side-dish bowl. The presentation used to be beautiful and intentional — now it feels careless and uninspired. The previous dishware was far more elegant and made the experience feel worth the price. Worse, the noodles were unbearably salty. It honestly tasted like an entire container of salt had been poured into the dish. As a returning guest who has looked forward to dining here every year, this change is truly disappointing. I sincerely hope the restaurant can bring back the quality and character that once made it so special.

We've been coming to Ulu for many years and it is always a top shelf experience. We had our anniversary dinner last night and, as per usual, everything was exemplary. Our servers Lilly and Izzy took such good care of us and made us feel like family. We love Ulu and their entire staff.

Tldr; Incredible atmosphere but a little underwhelming food. We ordered the Kanpachi and the Crab noodle main dishes with a scallop appetizer. First, the Crab noodles were a little too salty, which overwhelmed the other profiles of the dish. Also, there were crab shells still in the dish. The Kanpachi was ok, although the fish was slightly over cooked, leaving a rather odd texture taste in the mouth. No critique for the scallops; the passion fruit sauce balanced the scallops well. A big critique was the water served, which had a strong chemical / chlorinated taste. We had to order bottled water as it was simply unpalatable. The cocktails were well made, probably some of the best I've ever had. Overall, for the price point, the food was a little underwhelming while the beach front atmosphere and environment were quite enjoyable. Great for a romantic evening but don't expect too much in terms of food.
