Ugly DumplingB+

1 Newburgh St, Carnaby, London W1F 7RB · Dumpling restaurant, Fusion restaurant, Restaurant · Soho

Ugly Dumpling delivers creative, gluten-free-friendly fusion dumplings in a quirky, cramped Soho setting—expect inventive flavors, higher prices, and a lively, casual vibe.

Our take

Ugly Dumpling delivers solid quality through inventive fusion dumplings with strong flavor execution and knowledgeable staff, but inconsistent texture and occasional misses on gluten-free items prevent a higher grade. The tight, cramped quarters further limit the experience, though the lively Soho location and playful design add character. Best suited for adventurous eaters seeking creative options and dietary accommodations rather than traditional dumpling comfort.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (£12+ for platters) which may surprise casual diners
