Little Uluh announces itself on 14th Street

Signage is now up for Little Uluh at 218 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. (Thanks for the photo, Pinch!)

This is a sibling to Uluh, the Chinese restaurant and tea shop at 152 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street that opened in late 2018. 

Not sure what will distinguish Little Uluh from its sibling, which gets high marks... from Eater's "32 Glorious Chinese Restaurants to Try in NYC" post from March: 

With a tea service that treats the beverage like a sacrament, and a 100-item menu that offers seemingly endless permutations of familiar dishes, Uluh is every inch a modern Chinese restaurant. It caters to a crowd that's very sophisticated about its Chinese food. A large proportion of the menu highlights Sichuan, but there's also a good proportion of northern Chinese, along with dim sum and other Cantonese flourishes. 

This retail space at No. 218, a recently renovated building, has been vacant since First Lamb Shabu went dark in 2020 after a short stint.

Uluh Tea House debuts on 2nd Avenue

Uluh Tea House made its soft opening last Tuesday at 152 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street... here's a look at part of their menu, featuring a variety of teas (more than 30) and entrees (they also have desserts and pastries) ...

Uluh joins the Pure Green-PlantMade combo in the newish retail spaces at No. 152.

Back in May 2017 we heard about a Chinese restaurant opening in one of the two newly created storefronts at 152-154 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street. (They will join the Pure Green-PlantMade combo in the retail spaces.)

Signage arrived yesterday for the venture — Uluh Tea Shop, which is hiring. Sounds like it will be a pretty big operation. Positions wanted include managers, servers, Chinese Cuisine head chef, pastry chef, Cantonese Dim Sum Chef and kitchen staff.



152-154 Second Ave. is the former Sigmund Schwartz Gramercy Park Chapel that Icon Realty bought, gutted, added three extra floors and opened as luxury rentals a few years back.

Another dim sum place, Dim Sum Palace, is opening soon a few blocks away in another Icon-owned building at 59 Second Ave.
