The Year of the Fire Horse 🧧 is almost here.
At Ugly Dumpling, we have an annual tradition of marking it by going a little more traditional (oops).

Our pork & prawn dumplings are back — served with house chilli oil and fresh coriander — and they’ll be on the menu until at least early March.

Celebrate Lunar New Year with us.
May it bring prosperity, luck, and new opportunities ✨

So in May, Jason visited us with his wife and took a stack of coasters with him and we’ve just received a package from across the pond with these wonderful masterpieces from Jason’s graphic design class from the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Thank you so much this made our day, week, month! We will be framing this and keeping it as one of our most proud possessions! 🥟❤️

Haven’t posted in a while but customer Sam went to Brixton and snapped these two platters… to quote the legendary customer: “I’d say that with a side and maybe dessert is just enough for 2, but I honestly could’ve kept eating.”

What people say

Asian fusion restaurants are known for their unique blend of flavors and creative dishes that combine traditional Asian cuisine with modern twists. Ugly Dumpling, located on Rathbone Place in London, is a prime example of an exceptional Asian fusion restaurant.

What sets Ugly Dumpling apart from other restaurants is their focus on one particular dish - dumplings. But don't let the simplicity fool you; these dumplings are anything but ordinary. Each dumpling is carefully crafted with a variety of fillings, from classic pork and chive to more adventurous options like lamb and harissa or coronation chicken.

One thing that stands out about Ugly Dumpling is their commitment to experimentation. They're always coming up with new and exciting flavors, like their recent Easter special - a double-sized lamb and harissa dumpling served with yogurt and mint. And who could forget their Christmas special - turkey and gravy with sage and cranberry sauce?

But it's not just the food that makes Ugly Dumpling so great. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with friendly staff who are always happy to make recommendations or explain the menu. And despite being located in the heart of Carnaby, prices are reasonable for the quality of food you receive.

Overall, if you're looking for a unique dining experience that combines traditional Asian cuisine with modern twists, look no further than Ugly Dumpling on Rathbone Place in London. Their delicious dumplings and commitment to experimentation make them a standout in the world of Asian fusion restaurants.
