★★★★☆ 4.0 Burton Lewis Jr. · Feb 2026

This was a nicer experience then I thought it was going to be. I don't eat meat so food options were limited for me but the other options sounded good. Was a little annoyed that they were all out of the shrimp dumplings at the time but it was mentioned that they had a pretty busy day. Our server was very nice and helpful and the food came out fairly quickly. They also had a full bar and decent selection of drinks, they also had bubble tea which was good too. Definitely need to come back to try the shrimp dumplings as well some other options I saw on the menu, but I'm not in a rush.

food was really good. the sauces were good as well. the ribs were a little too tough for my liking however my boyfriend really enjoyed it. the place was clean and nice environment/ambiance. place was pretty empty. the noodles with the spicy sauce was amazing. the noodles had a nice bouncy texture. wish we could say the same about our server. we went yesterday on a monday around 2. it was our first time. she didn’t explain the menu to us or tell us it was happy hour. we realized after we got the bill. she kept walking away before we could even finish fully ordering and finishing our sentence. she didn’t come up to us to ask if we needed anything or just to check up on us, we had to flag her down just to order more.we don’t know her name bc she never introduced herself.

First time at Ugly Dumplin and I was pleasantly surprise how good the food was. All of the food came out fast, it was fresh and really delicious. 10/10 would recommend this spot!

★★★★★ 5.0 Darian Pezik · Feb 2026

Soooo delicious! Definitely a great dupe for Din Tai Fung for a fraction of the price. Everything was flavorful, I just wish the spicy items had more spice but thankfully they had a delicious chili oil. Myra was a great server - she was super sweet, attentive, and fast with the food & service! Will definitely come back :)

R01 -1/11/26: Ugly Dumpling My experience today with my family at Ugly Dumpling included phenomenal service, an incredible atmosphere, and great food. Our server (who I unfortunately forgot her name) was amazing, and gave outstanding recommendations. The menu is filled with options, from chicken dumplings to stir fried rice. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the local area who is looking for some high quality Asian food. Food: My family ordered chicken wings, pork and crab soup dumplings, the soup dumpling sampler, chicken wings, pork shumai, 2 orders of cucumber salad, shrimp noodle stir fry, steamed pork dumplings, and 2 orders of spring rolls. I was surprised about the prices of each item; however, I do believe that the food quality was spectacular. The fried items we
