So good! You dont need a reservation. Its a large place. Food comes out as its ready. They have Ramen, dim sum, noodles and dumplings. And veggie ones if you dont eat meat. I got spring rolls, veggie wonton soup and veggie wontons and brought home half of it. So good! read more

Last night my son Caleb was in town so we had an excuse to go out. So me, Caleb and my annoying wife Sarah decide to try the new dumpling place at fair oaks mall. We used to go On The Border a lot, so we wanted to see what they did with the place. Upon entering my wife asked if this was a Chinese restaurant (she hates Chinese food). We told her no, it was a dumpling restaurant. She's so dumb. Normally my wife makes us sit at a table like some happy family but to my surprise, when I suggested all three of us sit at the bar she said okay. This never happens so I'll take what I can get. We took at seat at the very front of the bar where we watched Sam make cocktails like a mad scientist. I got my beer and my wife got her wine. Sam even went as far as asking her for her ID which I snorted because the goblin is clearly older than the land fair oaks mall was built on. But it made her feel special. We ordered a variety of items and when the food arrived Sarah panicked because she can't use chop sticks to save her life. Sam, sensing this catastrophe emerged from the shadows with a fork for her. Disaster averted. When my wife went to the bathroom I told Caleb let's pay the tab and leave Sarah there. But he said we couldn't do that to the poor staff. Overall, a nice place. Next time we're coming without Sarah. She's uncultured. Why did I marry her. read more

Returned and tried a different dishes, which was disappointing. The Kung pao chicken had no sauce and NO PEANUTS. Kimchi dumplings and hot and sour soup were good. Service was friendly. There was only one waiter, and he was swamped. read more

Shumai, service, and space were great! It is clear that Ugly Dumpling hand makes all their dumplings. I especially liked the wonton and shumai, the thin delicate skin and fully filled filling made it delicious. To me the dumpling, although tasty and soupy, the skin was too thick. The food all came out steaming as if it was made to order. My main note is that the pork ribs were too sweet and the bright red color was a little bit off putting. read more

Came here during happy hour and that's definitely the way to go. We ordered the Ugly Bao Bun, soy garlic wings, and fried chicken dumplings, all half off, which made the experience much more worthwhile. Highly recommend stopping by specifically for the happy hour appetizer specials. The signature Ugly Dumpling sampler was good and worth checking out if you want to try a variety. The string beans with garlic were also tasty and flavorful. The soy garlic wings were solid, and the fried chicken dumplings were enjoyable. The crystal shrimp dumplings were a bit disappointing -- on the smaller side and didn't taste very fresh. The shrimp stir fry was just okay; it needed more flavor, and the shrimp were small and tasted like they may have been frozen. On the plus side, service was good -- our waiter was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is located inside the mall, with clean, spacious seating, which made for a comfortable dining experience. Overall, a decent spot, especially if you catch the happy hour deals. Without the discounts, some dishes might not feel as worth it, but there are definitely a few items worth ordering. read more

I came here with a friend on a weeknight. I reviewed the menu and it is very similar to Din Tai Fung, which I am very familiar with and have tried when I visited Taipei many years ago. We were seated as soon as we arrived. Our server was really friendly and helped us choose what to order. We ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao and Pork & Truffle Xiao Long Bao. They both arrived steaming hot. We also shared a Pork Chop Fried Rice. Everything was good but maybe not as good as the international chain that they were trying to copy - but definitely good enough for my xiao long bao cravings. We also got a mango bao dessert for free. The ambiance is great - quite spacious and somehow reminds me of the Din Tai Fung in Taipei. Overall, my dining experience was great but could be better. Would love to go back. read more

I came here for a dinner in a group of 4 without a reservation at 6:45 on a Friday. We were told there would be a 35 min wait, so we joined the waitlist. After about 17 minutes, we received a text that our table was ready. The hot & sour soup was solid and came in a large portion (for 2 people). The sesame sauce noodles was creamy, but could've had more oompf with a maybe a ground pork topping or something. The soup dumplings were okay and had a nice broth, but the wrappers were too thick (a common problem for soup dumplings). The creamy shrimp was similar to honey walnut shrimp and the broccoli was steamed perfectly. The ambiance was casual and the service was great! Overall, everything was good, but nothing amazing. It was like a more upscale Panda Express (right across the hall) that offers soup dumplings. read more

My kids and I ate here for lunch on NYE before going to the Children's science center lab. We were seated quickly and greeted by our server soon after. We were told portions are meant for sharing and come out as ready. For the three of us, we ordered: -chicken soup dumplings (very tasty and hot temperature wise-son loved them-6 to an order) -chicken and broccoli (lots and lots of broccoli! Fair amount of chicken-daughter loved it and finished all the chicken-I helped her with the broccoli since there was so much) -soy garlic wings (again, very flavorful and juicy-6 to an order) Dining room was spacious, nice restrooms. Very casual; Great sit-down addition to Fair Oaks Mall! read more

I came here for lunch and it wasn't a bad choice. Located at Fair Oaks mall, this spot is a great stop for a bite as you shop. Our waiter, Abel, was so kind and absolutely amazing. Service was super quick, and great. We ordered their spicy wontons, braised beef ribs, XLB, shredded beef noodles, and salt and pepper popcorn chicken. For food, I thought that it was all alright. I wish that the food had more depth to them--especially the spicy wontons and the beef noodles. However, I did enjoy their XLB and thought that the broth in the pork and shrimp XLB was delicious. The braised beef ribs were also a good portion and had a good marinade. Overall, not a bad option for some quick Taiwanese dim sum/food! read more

First time here for a Saturday lunch. I was not disappointed. The menu had a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, from the wok and soups. Our waiter (Jonathan) was courteous and provided great recommendations when we asked him. I had the Dumpling Sampler (6 kinda of dumplings) and the braised beef soup - I highly recommend both. Large eating area and you can see the dumplings being made. I will be coming back to this place (probably many more times). read more

The plates were dirty to start with, all of them, no matter how many times I switched them. Most of the food was enjoyable, but some dishes lacked flavor. Would come again to try other menu items, but not expecting much different. read more

Located in Fair Oaks Mall, this place looks almost identical (if not a mini version of din tai fung). There a clear glass for the dumpling station and the fixtures are remnant of an upscale casual dining experience. The food overall was.... Just okay. The saving grace of the meal was the popcorn chicken (my absolute fav). The soup dumplings were good but just alright. It didnt feel like it came out fresh but rather the wonton skin was a little hardened. The flavor was great though, no complaints. The spicy sauce noodles were... off. They didn't really have must seasoning nor taste and was heavily disappointed on this. The wontons, on the other hand, were just okay. Nothing really impressive regarding the flavor profile. Service was excellent though. Our waiter was kind mannered, patient, and was readily available for us. Would I go here again? Maybe? But I wouldn't savor this place compared to some others in the area. read more

This place is inside the mall. It has chic indoors and I always love it when I can see the dumplings in making love, reminded me of Din Tai Fung! We ordered Spicy Vegan Wontons, Edamame and Vegan Wonton Soup and everything was super delicious, the broth ohh so flavorful! The server was also very nice in explaining all the different menu items that we were confused about. Multiple options for fellow vegetarians and vegans. I might try the Vegan Dumpling next time read more

Been hearing a lot about Ugly Dumpling and that it is similar to Din Tai Fung so we want to try it for ourselves. Located in Fair Oaks Mall next to Elevation Burger & Panda Express. Nice renovation with a casual vibe and even a bar area with TV's. If the wife or GF is shopping and you want to grab a beer and watch a game this would be a good spot. Service can be a bit spotty. Younger folks waiting tables and it is a little inconsistent. We ask for water and the waiter forgets. We asked for chopsticks and am told they have no more. Huh?!? No chopsticks in a Chinese restaurant?? To top it off another waiter comes by and brings chopsticks... Food- Overall the food is good. Enjoyed the wings, the string beans, sesame noodles, kung pao chicken. The Soup Dumplings, unfortunately were unevenly made. 2 had a good amount of soup in them but the other 4 had none...unfortunate. The taste is good...but you can't sell soup dumplings without soup. They were also out of pork chops as we wanted to order the pork chop fried rice so that was disappointing. Overall, 3.5 stars is a spot on rating. Service needs to tighten up and Mgmt needs to have a tighter grasp around inventory so they don't run out of dishes by 6pm. Lastly, quality control needs to be better so that the best quality of a dish is actually served (i.e. soup in the soup dumpling). That said, I'd go back to give them another try. read more

Tried Ugly Dumpling at Fair Oaks Mall with my daughter and nieces this past Sunday around 6pm. We were seated right away, and the restaurant itself is large with a great atmosphere. We ordered several dishes to share, and the standout starters were the string beans with garlic and the cucumber salad. The hot and sour soup was a pleasant surprise--very large and perfect for sharing. For entrees, we had chicken fried rice, chicken and broccoli, chicken soup dumplings, chicken kimchi dumplings, and regular chicken dumplings. The chicken dumplings were the clear favorite. The soup dumplings, however, didn't have much soup in them. The food overall was good, just not particularly memorable. I did like that dishes came out fresh as they were ready. Service was decent, but our server wasn't very attentive--we waited a bit for refills and check-ins. Glad we tried it, but I'm not sure it's a place I'd hurry back to. read more

I ordered through Uber Eats and unfortunately my order was missing. I called the store and the manager, I believe his name was Cesar, was very apologetic about the situation and was very professional in making this mishap into a very positive experience. Thank You !!

Trying the new soup dumpling restaurant that many call a Din Tai Fung dupe. I have heard mixed reviews and was excited to finally see for myself. To recreate the DTF experience, we ordered everything we normally would at DTF. The soup dumplings had good flavor but didn't have that paper thin skin that I typically like. My favorite thing was actually their green beans which were garlic heavy and had the perfect texture of soft but still a bit of a crunch. The noodles and fried rice were pretty good but didn't really blow me away. Avoid the ribs as they were honestly a bit chewy and hard to eat. I can see why this place got mixed reviews. There are some dishes better than others and the food was overall pretty good. I would say this is not on the level of DTF but still decent food that can help curb your fix.

We tried out Ugly Dumplings at Fair Oaks Mall last month. This location is very nice and is situated inside the mall. It just opened recently. The service was good, even though they were quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered the spring roll, pork dumplings, pork and truffle soup dumplings, the soup dumpling sampler, orange chicken, braised beef noodle soup, string beans with garlic, and boneless pork. We enjoyed the variety of soup dumplings. The skins were thin, and the dumplings were tasty and juicy. However, we didn't like the braised beef noodle soup, as the beef was tough. The other dishes tasted good, but the portions were small for the price. It's definitely better than the Ugly Dumplings Express in Springfield, but I still prefer Yu Noodle overall. read more

Came here during the first week of opening and it was quite busy! My family and I ordered a variety of dishes and some definitely stood out more than others. I would definitely recommend getting the soup dumplings, sesame noodles, chicken wontons, and cucumber salad. The popcorn chicken, noodle soup, and string beans were ok. I wouldn't order these again. We also ordered stir dried noodles but they never came out. We had to ask our server 2x and another staff to check on it, but it seemed like it was forgotten. We ended up canceling this dish unfortunately. Overall, the meal was pretty good but the portions are small and it is a bit pricey. read more

First time at restaurant or trying soup dumplings. Came after lunch were seated immediately. Ambiance is casual, a little upscale- fair amount of people in the restaurant dressed as if they came from their offices. Clean, modern-staff in neat black shirts and long clean black aprons. Ordered one order of chicken dumplings, one order of pork dumplings. As well as a honey tea and spring rolls. All food arrived pretty quickly, was hot and well presented. All food looked uniform in size and shape. All tasted great. read more

*3.5* Ugly Dumpling is a solid spot for soup dumplings, but not the best. My friend and I each got a soup dumpling sampler, which I really liked. The beef noodle soup was very meh, I wouldn't get it again. The string beans and spicy wontons were good too. Service was great. The hot tea was incredibly bitter, we tried watering down but it didn't help. I would come back for the soup dumplings but I hope they can up their game on some other dishes and something as basic as tea. read more

Here to give a glowing 5 star review (unsponsored). Came with my family to try the XLB and ended up getting more than that thanks to HH. You can't beat half off apps and drinks! The honey soy wings were exceptional - coming from my wing obsessed husband. My son loved the crab ragoon, so did I and I know this more of an American inspired item. The cucumber salad and edamame were both average but good veggie dish. For XLB we got the sampler and liked the traditional pork the best. Then beef noodles (not the soup) with shishito pepper - had the perfect heat level. Will def come back, they also have a rewards program. Shoutout to our waitress Lydia! read more

Came during lunch time with my coworkers and saw the restaurant not busy at all. We decided we'll take a risk since we only had an hour but the service was quite slow. I understand it's still a fairly new restaurant but definitely would've loved more urgency in everything. The server was very friendly though! It took almost 10 mins to receive water and finally being able to order food. After ordering, the food came out super slowly. Our entrees all came before the actual appetizers that we ordered. The server put in incorrectly of one of my coworker's noodle dishes but since we were on a time crunch, we just gave up. They had nothing sesame sauce available but still kept it on the menu which was very disappointing. Let's get into the food. I must say, the soup dumplings were very good. The skin of the dumplings weren't as soft as I'd expected but the flavors were good. The braised beef noodle soup was on the much sweeter side. Threw me off because I came from a city where this cuisine is highly eaten and the textures and flavors were very interesting. The stir fry noodles came in a ramen type of bowl instead of a plate so the condensation(I think) ended up making the noodles very soggy at the bottom and filled with liquid. The spicy wontons were a little over cooked and didn't exactly have that good punch. There was absolutely 0 spicy anything even though it states spicy wontons. I'm not sure if they are trying to cater the taste to non-Asian customers but given that they are offering this type of food, I wish they made it more authentic. That would drive way more customers like myself in. The ambience and decor were beautiful though! Many seats and open kitchen just like Din Tai Fung and Nan Xiang (in NYC) is a good choice I'd return again to try in the future when the restaurant seems to be more settled in and more experienced but right now, not very satisfied. read more

Ugly Dumpling - Sampler and Szechuan Pork Soup Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Finally, a dumpling soup place in the mall! I love the vibe--it's definitely a great spot for a date night, lunch with friends, or drinks at the trendy bar. Service was good; I have nothing to complain about there. The Food: Ugly Dumpling Sampler: I ordered two samplers to see which flavors I liked best. The yellow or was it green.. which were the winners! I do wish the menu labeled which color corresponds to which flavor. My least favorite was the crab combo - black; the dumplings were hard rather than soft, almost as if they had been sitting out before being steamed. That was a bit of a letdown. Braised Beef Noodle Soup: It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. It was mild enough for my toddler niece to enjoy, though. Noodles with Sesame Sauce: These were actually the star of the show! My family and I really enjoyed the authentic flavors. I visited this restaurant back in late October, I think they're still working out the kinks. They were out of greens while we were there, so I'd love to come back and try those once they've settled in. I'd give this place an honest 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to a 4. read more

We've been waiting for this place to open since we've seen the sign up at fair oaks mall! So happy that there is a quick dim sum restaurant right in the heart of the mall. I was startled at how fast some of the food came out... almost like they started making the food before I knew what I was going to order. I have 3 little girls and they absolutely loved it... the noodles and orange chicken... they said it tastes pretty close to Panda! I would definitely get the garlic green beans and the shrimp stir fry! The star of the show was spicy pork/shrimp wontons and the pork soup dumplings. I also enjoyed the braised beef noodle soup. I could skip the shredded beef and shishito peppers. They also served us 2 free dishes... maybe because it's their grand opening! Bring your family and come eat some fun dumplings! read more

I'd heard good things about this place and decided to try it out for a date night. Ambience is like a fast casual place with an open layout that tends to get pretty loud. It's inside the mall so there's lots of young people and families with crying babies. Service was ok but the servers seemed to have more tables than they could handle at once but I'm not gonna ding them because it's still somewhat newish. I will ding them for cleanliness though. My date's spoon still had food on it from the previous use. The plates still have grease residue on them as well so it felt really gross. For the food, I did like the spicy wontons and schezuan pork soup dumplings but it seems that those are the only things that are fresh. My date's noodle dish did not taste fresh and felt like it was basically made from frozen noodles from the grocery store. read more

Ugly Dumpling - Szechuan Pork Soup Dumpling (6) - Chinese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I was waiting for this place to open up and it finally did! This is now my go-to place for soup dumplings in Fairfax now! I know there is other places that are good for Sichuan cuisine but for pork soup dumplings, this place is the best in Fairfax for it. (My favorite place for XLB is Din Tai Fung and they sort of operate like them with the XLB makers being seen in store but its not quite as nice as DTF.). But for Fairfax and this area, the pork XLB is pretty good. As for the other foods, I enjoyed the beef noodle soup. Good flavor and noodles cooked well. The shrimp fried rice was also pretty good. I'll be back to try out the other foods on their menu but so far I'm glad they are here and local to me. read more

Ugly Dumpling is hit or miss. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, pork & crab soup dumplings, orange chicken, chicken wontons, noodles with shredded beef and shishito peppers (they were out of beef noodle soup), and a lychee iced tea. The shrimp fried rice was unevenly seasoned, some bites were overly salty and others decent. The pork and crab soup dumplings were pretty delicious as they were juicy and flavorful. Chicken wontons were meaty but bland. The shredded beef noodles were a no go for me. You can definitely taste that bamboo shoots are from canned, and they weren't cleaned well which overpowered the dish. Orange chicken reminded me of Panda Express (in a good way lol). Don't expect authentic orange chicken where it's freshly fried and cooked but it was delicious! Service was slow but understandable for a new spot. If they improve the details, it could be great. For now, I'd give it a 3/5 some hits, some definite misses. read more

When I heard Ugly Dumpling is a dupe of Din Tai Fung I had to try it! - Spicy Pork + Shrimp Wontons -- not spicy; not as good as I expected it - Pork Soup Dumplings -- pretty good; thin but strong dumpling skin with plenty of broth - Noodles with Spicy Sauce - Vegetable Stir-fried Noodles -- skip! lost appetite the moment it was brought to the table When we were ordering they were out of the Soup Dumpling Sampler, but not long afterwards a server came by thinking our table ordered the Soup Dumpling Sampler. I recommend asking the host if there are any dishes that are unavailable before being seated. The ambiance from our table needs improvement. They should reconsider having a table near the restroom and walk way for servers. It gets very loud and distracting when people went in and out of the ladies restroom. On top of that we saw servers almost colliding with each other whenever they pass by our table. read more

Upfront, all of my reviews are based on my expectation going in. That means 5-star sushi from the local deli/gas station is not gonna make it past two stars coming from Nobu. The extra step I took on this review, is; I looked at the previous reviews, including one from just an hour ago today. That also informed my decision as today is the last day of their first week open. So that explains quite a bit. As the previous review today mentioned, they were out of quite a few things by suppertime on Sunday. However, I am willing to take into account that everything on the menu is made fresh and on the premises. So missing a couple of the favorite dishes in their first week of service is not a surprise. What we did order, the Mongolian beef, the shredded beef noodles, the barbecue pork steamed buns, and the shrimp Shumai were absolutely amazing! My only reason for not going 5 stars on this review is because yes, they were out of a few very popular menu items, and the music on top of the rest of the noise just made it way too loud in here. They need to do something about either turning down the music and or adding some Sound control in the restaurant. The brightest star in the entire performance here was our server, Anastasia. She was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable of the restaurants and the dishes. And she made it a pleasure to order seconds to take home. We are eager to come back after they've finished their first month in business. read more

I've been looking forward to Ugly Dumpling opening in Fairfax, so I was excited to finally stop by today! We tried four dishes, and overall had a solid first visit. The pork soup dumplings (6 pcs) were great--plenty of flavorful broth inside and the dumpling skin wasn't too thick, which I appreciated. The spicy pork and shrimp wontons (8 pcs) had a nice filling with whole pieces of shrimp, but the sauce was more soy sauce-heavy than expected--I was hoping for more of a chili oil kick. The noodles with sesame sauce were springy and satisfying, though a little on the salty side. Surprisingly, my favorite dish was the garlic green beans--perfectly cooked with a great bite, and packed with garlicky flavor without being overwhelming. Shoutout to our server Nathan who was kind and super attentive throughout our meal. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes soon! read more

A pretty average experience. I don't remember the name of our server but he was pretty young and seemed distracted by his friends who came to dine. Green beans were really good but some of them were ice cold... spicy pork and shrimp wontons were probably the best dish we had. Pork soup dumplings and pork szechuan soup dumplings were also fine but the braised beef noodle soup was so underseasoned and bland. Pretty disappointing considering it's listed as one of their bestsellers. Music was also some type of heavy metal or house music which was a bit distasteful. I'm inclined to come back to try other dishes but overall, everything was subpar read more

Chinese culture seems to have a knack for knockoffs. Whether it be luxury handbags, pirated DVDs, electronics, or even cars (a fake Rolls Royce), if there is demand for cheaper alternatives or bragging rights, someone will find a way to reverse engineer the original. Ugly Dumpling is the Chinese knockoff to Taiwan's Din Tai Fung, featuring signature items such as the soup dumpling and pork chop over egg fried rice down to the glossy takeout bag. So how close is it to the original? On a good day I'd say about 70%,. It may fool the casual palate, but a more experienced taster can differentiate between finer ingredients and sharper execution in texture and balance of flavors. read more

I have been here twice and both times the food was pretty good, but the service was terrible. The soup dumplings, wonton soup, pork buns, and ribs are stand out items. Unfortunately the first time I went I think the server forgot our entire order. Items came out one at a time and multiple times he asked if there was anything else we wanted... yeah, the other items we ordered. The second time we went, the food we ordered came without repeating our order, but the server disappeared for long stretches at a time. Maybe give this place a 3rd try, but if they aren't better that's it. read more

Terrible service. I've been standing at the hostess station for about 10 minutes with no acknowledgment from anyone. A male server eventually came over and asked how he could help, so I told him I wanted to place a to-go order. Instead of taking the order, he disappeared without saying anything and hasn't come back. I'm actually still standing here waiting while writing this review, and no one has checked back in or offered any help. At this point I ended up placing the order through DoorDash instead because I was tired of waiting to be acknowledged in person. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and left a really bad impression. I probably won't be coming back. read more

I wanted to like this place since I love dumplings and this place is close. However, it was just okay. Came on a weekend (late lunch) and I will say the staff is nice but kinda slow. Ordered popcorn chicken (burnt batch and not evenly seasoned so lots of very bland pieces), ordered cucumbers (never came), soup dumplings were just okay prob just a 3/5 but the skin is so chewy and thick it almost knocks it down to a 2/5, the green beans were pretty good still springy more juicy than I'm used to but didn't mind, the beef braised noodle was tender and very mild flavor, they don't use bokchoy (which is fine). Hopefully this place gets better, it is a nicely decorated place and gives off good vibes. read more

Visited again for lunch. The restaurant is empty and our dishes came out 15 min apart from each other. My dumplings didn't show up until 40min after ordering. Hot sour soup - Tasted water down at this hour. Perhaps don't order this until the soup has had some time to get rich. Dry noodles with beef and schezuan peppers - Pass. Sauce is oily, balances are off and the flavor is unauthentic. Soup dumplings - good as always but 40 min after ordering in am empty place is just bad service or coordination. You just lost my business. I'm going to Yu's Noodles instead. read more
