Eat Here: UBA, ShoreditchBy Adam Hassanali
If you’re on the hunt for the best weekday food offers in London, make a beeline for UBA, the vibrant pan-Asian restaurant in Shoreditch that’s taking midweek dining up a gear. Located on Great Eastern Street, UBA’s new weekday line-up promises bold flavours, great value, and a seriously tempting excuse to skip cooking.
UBA: Monday Bun Day – 2-for-1
Monday Bun Day – 2-for-1 Hirata Buns in Shoreditch
Mondays are all about the buns—UBA’s signature Hirata buns, to be exact. Soft, fluffy, and steamed to perfection, these hand-held favourites are going 2-for-1 every Monday, making it one of the best Monday food deals in London.
Each bun is filled to bursting with punchy flavours. Choose from:
• Braised beef with mustard mayo and crispy shallots for a savoury, melt-in-the-mouth bite.
• Salmon katsu topped with citrusy yuzu mayo and pickled daikon—fresh, crispy, and full of zing.
• Buttermilk chicken katsu layered with spicy kimchi mayo and pickled cucumber—comforting with a fiery kick.
Perfect for a quick bite or paired with small plates for a sharing-style feast.
UBA: Taco Trio Tuesday
Taco Tuesdays just levelled up. Every Tuesday, order any plate of tacos and UBA will throw in a third taco free of charge—no catch, just extra crunch.
These aren’t your average tacos. UBA’s Asian-fusion taco menu features bold fillings inspired by Peruvian Nikkei and Southeast Asian flavours:
• Tuna ceviche with chipotle cream, crispy shallots, and avocado—fresh and fiery with a creamy finish.
• Beef aji panca tacos with a smoky Peruvian pepper marinade and pickled red onion.
• Hamachi ceviche with jalapeño cream and radish for a cool, citrus-forward bite with a spicy edge.
Think of it as a street-food-style explosion of taste—served with a cocktail (or two) if you’re smart.
UBA: Wok Wednesdays
Noodle lovers, rejoice. UBA’s stir-fried noodle dishes, usually a lunch-only affair, are now hitting the dinner menu every Wednesday as part of the new Wok Wednesdays special.
Prepared fresh to order in a scorching hot wok, each dish is tossed with seasonal vegetables and UBA’s signature chow mein sauce—deep, savoury, and full of umami. Choose from:
• Chicken and prawns – a protein-packed favourite with garlic, ginger, and spring onion.
• Tofu and jackfruit – a vegetarian (and vegan-friendly) option with sticky glaze and crunch.
• Salmon – flaky, pan-seared and paired with wok-charred greens for extra texture.
It’s comforting, satisfying and perfect for post-work wind-downs.
