Vibes are incredible, food and drinks were amazing. My husband and I felt Ulos was one of the best meals we had while in NZ!

Ulo’s Kitchen was my favourite place in Raglan. Service Although it was fully booked Yuko managed to find us a seat. It helped that we were up for a quick meal. Staff were lovely and efficient. Food We tried to Mayorcha Salmon and a salad … both were soo good. Atmospheric! Loved the DJ and reggae vibes. As we were leaving a live band started. If Ulo’s was any closer to home for me, I’d be there weekly.

Headed away for a wee weekend break with a girlfriend to Raglan and discovered the most amazing Japanese asan fusion dining with super retro dining vibes! So recommend this place!
