The perfect spot for a comforting meal! I tried their dumplings, crab rangoons, and sesame noodles. Definitely give them a visit

This is a cute place to eat in and not have to stress about your pocket. This is not a formal sit down restaurant, you order up front and they bring you the food to your table when ready.
The service is great.
The food was yummy but I have had better pork buns. Loved the noodles and the dumplings and the orange chicken.
Would come again!

This ugly dumpling location had such great ambience and amazing food. As seen on the photo I got the chicken dumpling combo and it was such a delicious platter. The chicken dumpling was one of the best there. And just the atmosphere and the employees were so professional and friendly. Loved this location and will definitely be going back!

This deeply pains me to leave a negative review. I heard so much hype about this place via tiktok, my friends and I were so excited to try. The service was extremely slow, we had to ask for drinks, they were never even offered.. along with them also being forgotten and having to ask again. The food was extremely mid, the dough of my dumplings felt as if they were a little undercooked and they had little to no flavor whatsoever. Not to mention only 10 minutes after I ate my meal, my stomach turned into shambles. I’ve been in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes with a horrible stomach ache. I’m so disappointed with my experience here today. On the bright side the atmosphere was good, that’s about the only good thing I can say to this place. I will not be revisiting for the sake of my stomach:(

Additionally: as me and my friends were leaving from the restroom we told our “waitress” to have a great day. She gave us the nastiest look ever.

Overall not a bad experience, just lackluster. The spring rolls are not great, and the bao buns did not have enough pork. Also, limited options for people with allergies.

The chicken dumplings were the best part.

“I’m obsessed with Ugly Dumplings! The moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The decor might be quirky, but the real star of the show is the food. The dumplings are TO DIE FOR – each bite is a flavor explosion that will leave you craving more. From classic pork and chive to creative options like truffle and mushroom, every dumpling is a masterpiece. The service is friendly and attentive, and the prices are super reasonable. Don’t let the name fool you – Ugly Dumplings is a hidden gem that will become your new favorite spot. Get ready for a dumpling addiction!”

The Boba teas are a must try!

Shockingly I was the only one there during lunch. A few take out orders came in but otherwise dead inside. It’s not what you’d expect for what they are charging. Not using homemade springy noodles for a $15 bowl brisket soup. It was closer to ramen packet noodles. I tried a bunch of items to make sure and it just became a $65 lunch of low flavor items made for the masses. $2 per soup dumpling is not going to keep this place open. I’d just look elsewhere at a non chain noodle shop for quality that this place has no desire to serve. Nothing I had was bad, just lacked the umami and value you should expect.

We had 4 kids and 4 adults and they let us push some tables together to accommodate the group. We were not allowed to use 2 adjacent booths because “corporate” doesn’t allow it. There was hardly anyone there when we got there, so maybe that’s true or maybe they didn’t want to deal with a table of 10 year olds. Ok, fine. We waited for 20 minutes to get our order taken, but food came out relatively quickly. I ordered a Diet Pepsi, and received a regular Pepsi. The waiter lied and said it was diet and when I went to refill, seltzer came out of the Diet Pepsi section of the machine. Not cool lying. I get there was only 1 waiter for the entire place, but still, unacceptable. Corporate needs to do better staffing this place. Food gets blander every time we go. The fried rice was oily and bland, the spring roll was crispy but had no flavor other than the sauce. I had pork and shrimp wonton soup which had very little flavor until I added the spicy oil. My son loves the soup dumplings otherwise we probably wouldn’t have gone there again. So disappointing. Definitely not express if you are dining in – we were there for about 90 minutes. Probably nice and quick for take out but not dine in.

Food is good but service was horrible. Ordered ahead and had to wait an extra 30 minutes. Then they didn’t give us the drinks so we had to go back. Then we get home and missing two servings of spring rolls and a fried rice side. For $62 and an extra long wait they should have been able
to get it right! Ridiculous.
