Fresh dumplings crafted daily using traditional Chinese techniques — steamed, pan-fried, or broth-filled. Taste the difference handmade makes.
Handcrafted XLB
At Ugly Dumpling, every wrapper is hand-stretched, every filling is mixed fresh each morning, and every bowl of broth is reduced for 18 hours. We started with one mission: bring the soul of a traditional Chinese dumpling house into a modern space where everyone feels welcome.
What began in Edison, NJ has grown into one of the most beloved dumpling brands on the East Coast — because real food, made with skill, speaks for itself.
From our Edison flagship to Fairfax VA and Hamden CT — every location serves our full menu of handmade dumplings, made fresh every morning.
Discounted XLB, half-price appetizers, and boba deals every weekday. The best way to experience Ugly Dumpling on a budget.
