About Ugly Dumpling

Ugly Dumpling is a dumpling restaurant on Newburgh St in London, open daily from a small corner storefront. The kitchen makes its own fusion dumplings, with fillings including cheeseburger and rendang next to traditional and seasonal options. Dumplings come in sets with two of each flavour. A gluten-free meal deal pairs five gluten-free dumplings in two chosen flavours with any side, so mixed groups can order from the same menu and eat together. One of the sides is tempura aubergine with a sweet tamari dressing and peanuts. The room carries dumpling-themed decor, and a colouring-in activity is part of the visit.

Customer Review Summary

Gluten-free dumplings are the main draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising the wrappers and fillings, including a mushroom and truffle dumpling one calls spectacular, pork belly, aromatic duck, and a vegan gluten-free spring roll dumpling. Close behind is the wide range of fusion flavours, from rendang to cheeseburger and bulgogi, alongside traditional and seasonal fillings, so mixed groups can share a table. A cucumber salad with a spicy kick and the beef dumplings also earn mentions. Not every experiment lands. One reviewer found some of the fun flavours a total miss and said one waiter forgot a tap water request, and another found the tempura aubergine too sweet. Reviewers describe the room as very small and tight, though they also call it cosy and vibrant, with creative dumpling decorations and a colouring-in activity. Several praise friendly staff, including servers who pointed out what a gluten-free diner could not eat while serving the table.

    “the place is so cool and the food is incredible. they have so many gluten free options, and we had some gluten free dumplings and they were absolutely delicious. the mushroom and truffle one is espectacular, you have to try it.”
  • Graham Boag
    “Had the rendang dumplings- top notch! And then shared the gluten free ones - the fillings were good, nice and fresh. Lovely atmosphere sitting outside in the sun as a bonus. Probably wouldn't bother with the tempura aubergine again - bit too sweet for our taste.”

    “Can’t fault the place. Trying all the unique flavours was so fun and the sets are such a good idea! Two of each, left very full. I recommend the classics. The colouring in was also a great addition to the fun. p.s. try to find the Venus in the restaurant… 😉”
