Tak for the memories 5/17/2006

I had a sad experience in another Scandi restaurant downtown a week or so ago, but I know that this is a delightful, wholesome cuisine and hoped that I could find a place in the City that would deliver just that. I did. My friends recommended Ulrika's, so we went last weekend. This is much more like it. From perfect, moist and delicate meatballs, to hearty prime beef and fun desserts, everything I tried was how it is supposed to be. And don't forget to taste the home-made herring, even herring doubters should be pleased by Ulrika's blend of sweet, salty and spicy. The service was relaxed and efficient and the room is comfortable and modern. Pros: great chef, comfortable, great service more

Made me homesick 4/22/2006

I grew up outside of Stockholm, but have lived in New York for the past 20 years. Ulrika's is by far the top Swedish restaurant in the city. I love everything I tried here. Last time we ate the best Råraka this side of the pond, it's crispy potato pancakes with fish roe and onions. The toast skagen here is just like I remember it, dilly and light. The fish soup is also light, just a touch creamy, and has generous portions of seafood. And Beef Rydberg is delicate, yet flavourful and hearty. Staff is super sweet and so is the cozy dining room. Pros: food, service more

Like Stockholm 1/16/2006

My wife and I honeymooned in Stockholm, and the food at Ulrika's is just like we remember it. Her herring plate came with about six kinds of herring, attractively presented like sushi. I had Swedish meatballs with a nice beet salad, and washed it down with lingonberry soda. Very tasty and friendly more

We love it! 8/25/2005

Ulrike herself is usually there mingling with her guests and helping the place maintain it's warm feeling. The food is authentic and delicious with reasonable sized portions in a culinary artistic presentation. It's the perfect place for a nice dinner after work with friends. Pros: perfect portions, attractive staff, warm owner more

Ulrika Rocks! 4/12/2003

I love Scandinavian food. This place is as authentic as many of the lovely restaurants I visited in Sweden. The herring appetizer comes with 4 or 5 different types of fish and a boiled potato, it was tasty and big enough for 2. I tried the laxpudding, or a salmo and potato tort, it was perfect, not too rich, with a lovely flavor of dill. Me friends meatballs were exactly how I remember them from Stockholm. The cloudberry martini was a lovely way to kick things off and chocolate sampler a great way to finish off. The service here is young and super friendly. Yum. Pros: food, value, service Cons: East 6oth Street more

very nice 4/9/2003

I've been to Ulrika's twice. The first time, two years ago, the service was friendly but slow. The food was quite good. I recently went back and had no complaints. The service was friendly and the food was very good. One thing--we received free Schnapps and dessert because they felt we waited too long between our appetizers and entrees. My date and I hadn't noticed anything amiss, but we were very impressed with the gesture. I recommend the restaurant. Pros: Food, Atmosphere Cons: Relaxed Service more

RECOMMEND it! Great food & service! 2/27/2003

My review might be a bit biased given we went with an ex-cook from there-so we got treated very nicely. We didn't even get a menu, just let the chef send out anything he wanted. But food is food and everything that came out of that kitchen was phenomenal -flavorful, varied, and at perfect temperatures. I am not a fan of lobster or scallops, yet I devoured both that came out of that kitchen; as well as SOME of a truffled pasta (nope-don't like truffles either). Service was EXCELLENT! I believe our friendly server's name is Daniel-who speaks like 300 languages and also bartends. Definitely recommend!! Pros: service, food Cons: might be a bit pricey more

A Little Different 1/28/2003

After walking by often during lunch hour, decided to try it for dinner. Very pleasant evening--very good drinks, smoked salmon appetizer with honey mustard sauce was very generous; swedish meat balls and mashed potatoes very tasty on a cold evening; interesting desserts; nice flat breads and complimentary taste of soup--delicious. A couple near us got the tasting menu, which looked really interesting as well. more

Service Without A Smile 1/24/2003

Having just eaten at Ulrika's, I was amazed at how unwelcoming the hostess was. Nevertheless, after waiting for an eternity to be seated, we finally sit down and wait for our menus, wait for our food, and to our surprise the food was minimal relative to the price. I am surprised how many positive reviews this restaurant has gotten. I think people need to wake up and realize that the only place to have good decent Scandinavian food is at Aquavit,AQ Cafe, Tja, Christers, or go to Sweden. The space that Ulrika's now occupies used to be a restaurant called Carola's. Bring that back! and stay away from here. The name should be called SIBERIA Pros: good lox, convenient location, swedish food Cons: service, price, service more

Swedish Meatblah 1/16/2003

I have visited Ulrika's restaurant on several occasions, and I always receive the same, unfriendly treatment by the staff. Being a fellow Swede myself, I thought it would be exciting to treat my American boyfriend to a nice meal at this Scandinavian restaurant. However, we were both greatly disappointed. The food, even though delicious, was overpriced and the portions very small. Furthermore, the personel expressed a very cold and unwelcome attitude towards us. From now on, my boyfriend and I will be having our Swedish meatballs at IKEA! Pros: Good food, Interesting menu, Good location Cons: Unfriendly staff, Overpriced food, Cold atmosphere more
