Ugly Dumpling

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW As the name entails it is primarily dumplings. I had the platter which lets you have 8 in total. You get to pick 4 dumplings and get 2 of each one. Total of 10 options to pick from. The specials aren’t included unfortunately. I picked the Satay Chicken, Pork Belly, Aromatic Duck and Prawn&Chive. It comes with a gluten free soy sauce. I had a side of noodles with vegetables too. My partner had the non GF version of this platter. After this we decided to share a dessert and picked the apple pie dumplings. I have attached a photo of the menu and pictures of the food/dessert I had. Though one thing to consider is the note at the top of the menu. Although I have been fine since eating. Colour coding the plates to separate the gluten free food was a nice safety measure too. Would recommend for people to try if you’re going to this part of London. I would try the Lamb and Harrisa if I went back.

I recommend making a reservation — even on a weekday afternoon for a late lunch it was packed, and we ended up sitting outside to avoid the wait. The food was amazing! We tried the chicken, pork, prawn, and duck dumplings. The prawn was our favorite. The fried aubergine was very good, but I would recommend the noodles. We also had the Nutella dumplings, which were delicious! The gluten-free menu is a must-try for celiacs.

We popped in here for a drink & a snack. I always love seeing the dumpling drink mats decorated by customers displayed on the walls. There’s always something new to look at. The dumplings are always delicious. I had the prawn & chive ones this time. Next time I’m going to try the sweet ones.

THE FOOD IS BUSSING AND THE MANAGER IS A POOKIE 💗💗💗 will be coming back!! They also have this incredible coaster dumpling wall, each one customised by customers! So cute 🥰 also, have an amazing gluten free menu

I was recommended this place and I’m so happy I went! The staff were lovely, shout-out to Marco who was so funny and welcoming and made me and my friend feel like we were given full attention. The food was incredible, the decor and atmosphere were so cute! I loved the idea that you get to colour in your own dumpling coasters during your dinner, such a great idea! Would love to return again when I’m in London!

Light and cosy surroundings with very friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Fast service. Gluten free beer available. Dedicated Gluten free menu. I had the platter of 8 dumplings which were all delicious followed by Nutella dumplings which are as good as they sound. Accepts contactless payments. Would return in a heartbeat.

A great restaurant, quite quiet for 6pm on a Friday in central London. The staff are friendly and the walls are covered in coasters with diner-drawn dumplings from across the world. The prices are a bit high for what you get, but the food is really good. The Meat Platter dumplings don't skimp on fillings and taste delicious, and the Ugly Noodles are an excellent accompaniment. £31.75 for the platter, noodles and a pint of draft beer.

Randomly picked this place to have some food with a friend before the Stray Kids concert and was not disappointed! Everything we ordered was delicious, the service was friendly, the place looks amazing. I am definitely visiting again next time I'm in London. (Extra shout out to the lovely lady serving us because she even had us put our coaster dumpling drawings straight up on the wall! Definitely made our day!)
