Ugly Dumpling - Ugly Ramen..... Pork and Crab soup dumplings!! - Chinese Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

My first visit was on 12/19 around lunch time. It was pretty crowded seemed like a lunch rush . I chose to dine in. My server was Markeese. Very attentive and nice . I had the fried chicken dumplings and the chicken stir fry. Stir fry could use some more sauce but that's a personal preference. Overall 10/10. I went back again with my husband and daughter on 12/20. Our server was a young lady. She was Ok not as attentive but it seemed like they didn't have as many servers . We ordered garlic soy wings, 10/10, friend chicken dumplings, 10/10, and orange chicken with fried rice and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. WE HAD HONEY LEMONADE OMGGG THT WAS SOOOO GOOD!! Needed this in a pitcher . My only complaint today was my server took a while to get to us and my orange chicken came out before my appetizers. It was cold and lead me believe that it was already sitting before it got to me. Overall I love this place as it is not the usual food places we get . I will be back but please check the quality of food . Honestly felt like my serve shouldn't have bought me a cold plate but she just a server. The chef shouldn't have even plated it . read more

When looking for a clean thai/asian cuisine restaurant within the area this is it. It was clean which is huge for me as the local carry outs have me always looking around for a creepy crawly. This place is clean, smells good, the greetings are always warm and cheerful and the staff are highly informed of the menu. The menu was straight to the point. but still offered a variety and a little bit of everything. I ordered the string rolls, spicy shrimp and pork dumplings, chicken stir fry and shrimp fried rice ugly style. My total came to $44. The food was fresh, tasty, full of flavor and great quality ingrediants. The sauce that accompanied the dumplings was so yummy. I look forward to trying other items on the menu soon. read more

Drove about 30min to try this place out, would I do it again probably not. We ordered a few items from the menu. We got the pork chop w/ fried rice the fried rice was a bit salty to me also wish there was some kind of sauce for the pork we asked our waiter and he said they don't have any. The pork/shrimp spinach soup dumplings and shrimp wonton soup was probably the only things my partner and I liked. The chicken kimchi dumplings were a little too chewy for me. And the bbq pork buns barely had any meat inside. The service was just okay our waiter did forget something we ordered and we had to remind him but he was pretty nice. read more

I came here for Valentine's Day, and really enjoyed my time here. All three of the dishes that I got I would definitely recommend. I loved them all, but I would say my favorite was the braised beef noodle soup. The beef had so much flavor and the proportion of noodles to soup was perfect. The bao buns were a great starter, and the soup dumplings were really good! I like having the option of being able to try all six types that they have because I get a taste for everything. My server was amazing, and was very helpful and very nice, even though he had a lot of tables to cover. The restaurant was also decorated very cute and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to go back again. read more

The atmosphere is amazing and really nice. It was my first time here and the hostess was so welcoming. She seated us right away. Our server took our order. I inquired about a few of the dishes and she was very knowledgeable of the menu. Her name was Tiffany. Our food arrived quickly and piping hot. My Kung Pao Shrimp was delicious! My husband had a problem with his dish; however, the manager came out immediately. He fixed him another dish to his satisfaction and Nicole brought out extra sauce for his to go meal. Welcome to the neighborhood. We will see you again soon. read more

I went here. I think this is the one located in Laurel, I went here cause I wanted some dumplings and I got the crab field dumplings. They were pretty good and I got the chicken soup filled dumplings and then the third one was I think was a shrimp filled dumplings. I got three they were huge my gosh I didn't think I was gonna finish them. They had just opened the one in and it was great. I got it to go. I had just left left a movie theater. It was really good. I have to say I think the shrimp dumpling was my favorite and the chicken dumpling the crab dumpling yeah it was OK. The service was pretty good like I said I got it to go. I went in. I ordered it but I had to wait like maybe 25 minutes and he told me 15 so I didn't mind the way I wasn't doing anything that day because my movie was over the ambience of the place like I said it was brand new at the time so they were still kinda unpacking boxes and putting things in the freezer but it was nice. There were a few people who were eating in there and talking I'm not sure if they were customers or you know just workers who were there, but it wasn't bad at all. Customer service was it was nice. but I will say this if you're not a fan of dumplings if you are not a fan do not go, but if you're a fan of soup dumplings go enjoy yourself. It's really good like I said the chicken soup dumplings are divine. The shrimp dumplings are really good the crab dumplings not so much the crab dumplings. The crab meat was dry on the inside and it wasn't a soup dumpling, and I had to dip the crab meat dumpling inside the soup dumpling that came out of the chicken soup came out of the chicken dumpling and it made it taste like chicken, but it was crab meat, and the crab dumpling was the smallest dumpling, but it was springy like a dumpling, but I've had better dumplings. I will say that. read more

This was our second time consuming food from this location. The first time we dined in and the second time we ordered take out. The first time the food was tasty and the overall experience was at least 4 stars. The second time was terrible. We had the orange chicken that tasted like day old re heated styrofoam. We had chicken friend rice that had no seasoning. I am not sure if they forgot to had any sauce and seasoning, but it was terrible. I did not allow my children to eat it and just threw it away. We had spring rolls, dumplings and edamame that were all just ok. Over all it was disappointing and the lack of consistency when it comes to quality was very very apparent. Although the food was not desirable the staff was very nice, the only consistency that we noted was this. We will not return. read more

I've visited this Ugly Dumpling location a few times (both dine-in and takeout) and all visits have been good experiences. The food tasted fresh every time. They offer a wide variety of dim sum (dumplings and bao buns) including hand-folded dumplings (including soup dumplings), savory wontons, noodle dishes, traditional and Asian-American inspired appetizers, bubble tea, and and assortment of refreshing juices. They also offer Asian-American options that you'd normally find at Chinese restaurants; like orange chicken, sweet & sour chicken, Mongolian beef, black pepper beef, beef and broccoli, kung pao beef, chicken & broccoli, fried rice, and other common wok and stir fried dishes. The customer service has been OK. There is plenty seating available to dine in. The decor and setting is modern Asian, but simple and elegant. You can order takeout at the register or kiosk. Since the items are made to order, I recommend ordering ahead for takeout. A very good experience. read more

What a surprise! Came from out of town and was incredibly road weary. We wanted something close by and took a chance. The food was excellent, very flavorful with large portions. The staff were attentive and friendly. We are back home now and hoping this restaurant will find its way to Michigan. read more

First time visiting and was not impressed. Ordered the braised beef noodle soup. The take out packaging was solid. The broth is bland and tasteless. I had to add some spicy Szechuan stir fry sauce to add some flavor. The beef was tender. Noodles were noodles but OMG why is the baby bok choy still attached to the base whole? In order to properly clean you have cut the stem completely off and separate the stalks. No Bueno! It's a pass for me in the future. read more

Firstly, as though your prices for string beans alone aren't already ridiculous, I had to wait almost 40 minutes for them. When my order is finally prepared, the green beans do not have the spice like they normally do when I order them. I was told it's because I didn't "make it ugly". However, when I went back to check if I'd somehow made an error--I see UberEats doesn't even have a "make it ugly" option. Instead of the manager saying, "I'm sorry for the mix up that wasn't your fault," she confirmed this happens ALOT with UberEats and proceeded to offer me the option to have it changed as long as I paid the 2.00 up charge. So with the UberEats cost and the extra fee that brought the total to 17.00 for some string beans. When they finally bring the string beans out and I open it, the container was not even halfway full and you can literally see the bottom of the container. If I were someone who'd never ordered from here before I MIGHT be confused about the portion size I was supposed to receive. For what I paid, how long I waited, and the mixup--you would think someone would ensure I walked away with at LEAST the amount of food I paid for. Listen. The food is excellent. But good food NEVER trumps customer service for people who respect their money. Get it together ASAP. Y'all are new around here. Don't ruin a good thing. read more

Walked in there was no one at the booth to seat us so we stood there for a minute finally a young lady comes over and says table for two before I could even open my mouth another employee comes over and starts talking to her she totally ignores me has a whole conversation while we just stand there and wait she then looks back at me and say follow me I said did you hear what I was going to say she said no I said table for six not two we get seated right afterwards waitress comes over introduced herself (Tiffany) we ask for six waters with lemon and put in a few appetizers and ask for more time for our entree orders while we wait a server comes over about to drop off food that we did not order so then the manager Nicole directs him in the right direction and shows him how to read the table numbers for orders Tiffany brings out A water not six as requested and no lemons Food starts dwindling in one by one calamari that seemed like they came from shoppers, Aldis or Save alots freezer () then soy garlic wings which were good probably the best thing we had besides the hot chili peppers on the table and the chicken dumplings took waitress some time to come back to check on us when she decided to return we asked again for waters for everyone and lemons we laughed at the calamari she (Tiffany) said everyone complains about them and they should be taken off the menu we place our order and again the food comes out one by one we basically ate at separate times we ordered fried rice that we had to ask for because it didn't come out then when it was served the waitress sleeves was in the food my poor daughter was disgusted but I said to her it's ok you won't die and besides that we don't know what happens behind the scenes when we eat out Nothing was delicious besides the wings, chicken dumplings and that chili sauce The shrimp noodles also tasted like a frozen dinner meal we drowned it in chili peppers and soy sauce to be able to enjoy it Then to top it all off WE FOUND HAIR YES HAIR in our orange chicken We had enough by this time so we ask for Nicole she apologizes and says thanks for the feedback it's useful I told her they need to train the serving staff on sanitation and how to present customers good she laughed and said that's not her job corporate would be in soon to do trainings she apologized once again and gave us a card to get a free item with the purchase of $10 or more by this point I'm laughing because as I told her I won't be coming back so Nicole gave me a free bubble tea I was so excited to try this place after all the great tic toc and IG reviews but my experience was trash I'll never return to this establishment again So disappointing read more

The set up of this place is amazing. I love how you can order to go right in the front or get set down immediately as soon as you walk in... the people are kind when it comes to taking orders, and explaining their menu, they understand that this is a new Location and people are going to have questions but other than the service the food was amazing. Definitely will come back to this location and I recommend to anyone that's looking for some good orange chicken. The string beans were great. Gotta try some of those dumpling next read more

soup was lukewarm and the food was served cold. I may give them another try once they have worked out the kinks.

Great service--friendly and quick. The food was okay, but nothing particularly memorable.

Location : Prime Parking : Plenty Staff : Friendly & Welcoming Cleanliness: 100% Restaurant: Open & Inviting Bathroom : Clean Food: Chicken & Broccoli lacks taste, Fresh, needs flavor. Saw someone else's Ramen and it looked good Price: Reasonable Wait Time : Under 10 mins Will go again but order something else instead. read more

I had such a great experience at Ugly Dumpling! I walked in, everyone was so nice and welcoming. Aminah, the hostess/cashier, was especially sweet and super helpful she really made the visit feel personal. The space itself is beautiful and very aesthetic, which made the whole vibe even better. And the food? Absolutely amazing everything was fresh, flavorful, and worth it! I'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

We went to celebrate my husband and had a delicious time here! The restaurant was clean and new, with a few folks scattered throughout. Maya (unsure of spelling) was a great server and super attentive at all times. We asked for recommendations and she sold us on the "ugly" green beans. GAME CHANGER!!! We ordered based on her recs and devoured our food upon its arrival. We had a mix of dishes and the total was surprisingly low for food of this caliber. Hubby and I definitely want to come back with our family! The restaurant is new and I truly hope others can support it! The crew working is great and the food is amazing! read more

My son and I had been waiting for this place to open as we LOVE soup dumplings. Let's start with the customer service: very friendly and polite. We were greeted upon entry, it was clean we very easily placed an order for takeout. I had decided to wait in the car, the server was nice enough to check to make sure we didn't leave, he actually bought the food to car. What we ordered: 2 orders of Soup Dumplings, Steamed BBQ buns, a Taro Iced Cream drink and the orange chicken. We loved the soup dumplings, great considering the area. My son looked the BBQ buns, the flavor didn't quite hit for me. The drink gets , the cup was a great container just wish it actually tasted good. Finally the orange chicken gets as it had a little too much hoisin or something. For the dumplings alone, . Try the soup dumplings you won't regret it! read more

Literally the cutest place ever The name really just caught my attention immediately,, literally marketing geniuses at work here *chefs kiss*. I'm glad this opened up here because Woodmore and the surrounding areas could really use a bit more variety (please stop building Chick-Fil-A's, Chipotle's, Royal Farms and Tropical Smoothie Cafes,, that is *not* what the people want). Anyway, I went for the lunch special where you get an entree from a list that comes with white rice (or stir-fry noodles for a *little* bit of an up charge) 2 fried chicken dumplings, and a soda for like $9.95-$11.95, solely dependent upon what you get. I got the Orange Chicken, Shishito Beef, Soy Garlic Wings, and the spring rolls and guys literally... Everything was so good! From the presentation, to the portions, to the atmosphere, to the service, it was just good! The servers were so knowledgeable about everything and they were able to answer every question I had about their offerings. The Shishito Beef was so tender and juicy and also chock full of peppers. The orange chicken was extremely good and full of flavour (it could've used a *tad* more sauce but that's a personal preference). The Soy Garlic wings were great! I also very much enjoyed the spring rolls and the dumplings. Best part about it all is that you *will* have enough for leftovers; the portions are so generous and filling. Lots of protein, lots of rice, dumplings and a soda for a good price? It's almost kind of unheard of in this economy, honestly. I'll definitely be back to work through all their offerings of dumplings and other things from the wok. read more

My sister and I , was in the neighborhood, and saw the name, we decided to see what was so special about this establishment.

Will be back to try more menu items. read more

I came to try the Soup Dumplings, and also ordered pork buns. They were good. However, the BEEF in the "beef-spinach-noodle soup" tasted like a non- food product ... strange - RUBBER comes to mind. WORRIED! I wish I had not eaten 1/2 before deciding to toss it. I regret swallowing it. read more

Quick service! We got the beef noodle soup, ugly dumpling sampler, green tea noodles in sesame sauce, garlic green beans, and steam pork buns. The beef noodle soup, green beans, and the pork/shrimp/spinach soup dumpling were the standouts. We have been dying for food/a restaurant like this in the Woodmore/Bowie area. So happy this was a great experience. Highly recommend ordering many items to share with the table. read more

The food was delicious. I enjoyed the sampler dumplings. I had never had dumplings with soup inside before, but this was really a really good experience with all different kinds of fillings.

I would definitely recommend trying Ugly Dumpling for yourself! read more
