Good vegan dumplings, portion sizes could be bigger

We had the vegan platter which included two types of vegan dumplings, both of which were delicious. Even so, I found 8 dumplings to be quite a small portion for a main course, especially at a price point of almost 16 pounds. The staff was very attentive though, so overall a nice place.

Small but lovely spot

A good option of vegetarian dumplings and very good dessert dumplings. The Apple pie dumpling was especially good.

Next level gluten free menu, with lots of vegan options & allergens clearly labelled. The upstairs seating area is lovely and really enjoyed drawing on the coaster, aha. Will definitely be back!

Vegan dumplings are yum!

One of my favourite non vegan places.
The food is lovely! We always order too much hah, the glass noodles with veggies, tempura aubergine, and then dumplings. We used to love spring-roll flavour, but they don’t have it anymore.

Cons: Could be added one new vegan flavour

Love this food!

Having been meaning to try Ugly Dumpling for ages, I finally made it. The location is handy for shoppers and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating-but book for busy times! There’s a decent amount of vegan options; 3 dumplings plus a few sides and a platter and a good drinks menu too. Service let this place down, the staff seemed super busy and food was slow. It’s also fairly pricey, not surprising for the area but worth noting. I spent £33 on dinner for one plus a cocktail.

Solid

Wasn’t the best dumpling i’ve ever had but still good. With the meal deal price it’s reasonably priced. The staff was sometimes lacking a bit in attention, a lot of customers had to wait a while to be seated.

Pros: Reasonable price, Yummy

Cons: Staff not present enough

Too small, too pricey

We did take away and the dumplings were almost cold too. It was a very (too) expensive snack. Nice interior, though.

Tasty but pretty expensive

Great to find a vegan option near Chinatown (we really struggled!). It’s a cute place, with friendly servers and a few interesting vegan options. I had the vegan platter and ugly noodles, which were both very tasty, but it seemed like a lot of money for not that much food! Note: there is a vegan option on the dessert menu now

Pros: Quite a few vegan options, Friendly, Central location

Cons: Expensive

Tasty dumplings, and the tempura was really good. The only con is that they haven’t vegan desserts.

Pros: Good food

Hit and miss

Honestly the vegan options here are hit and miss, sure there is always an option but some of the flavour combinations miss the mark. A while back they had celeriac dumplings which just didn’t hit the spot...

Points for effort though definitely and the place is very cute and well situated.

Nice tasting but very overpriced

Vegan options are less varied or interesting than non-vegan and you don't get much for your money, and is not amazing enough to think that's ok. Nice space and friendly staff though. We spent over £30 for not very much food at not a high enough standard to make up for that.

Pros: Nice space. , Friendly staff

Cons: Very overpriced., Vegan options much less varied than non-vegan.

Tempura aubergine is unreal

Tasty dumplings, there are two vegan options and the artichoke one in particular is lovely. The tempura aubergine is out of this world and makes this place worth a visit alone!
