These are our editor picks for the most satisfying Ugly Dumpling value meals — great starting points whether you are dining alone or sharing with a friend.
Pork XLB + Brown Sugar Boba
The quintessential Ugly Dumpling experience. Six handmade pork soup dumplings paired with a rich Brown Sugar Boba — sweet, savoury, and completely satisfying.

Spicy Wontons + Mango Lemonade
Silky wontons in chilli oil balanced by a refreshing mango lemonade. A bold flavour pairing that hits every note — heat, sweet, and cool.

Vegan Dumplings + Taro Milk Tea
Six veggie-packed dumplings alongside a creamy taro milk tea. A fully plant-based combo that is easy on the wallet and genuinely delicious.
Vegan Dumplings $9 + Taro Tea $6 = $15
Sampler (5 Flavors) + Two Drinks
The 5-flavor XLB Sampler lets you try pork, pork & crab, pork-shrimp-spinach, truffle, and chicken all in one plate. Split two drinks and the whole table eats for under $30.
Sampler $15 + 2 Drinks $12 = $27
Edamame + Cucumber Salad + Wontons

Tips
How to Make the Most of Your Visit
Check Current Happy Hour Times
Happy hour promotions vary by location and season. Call your nearest Ugly Dumpling or check their social media for the latest offers before heading in.
Start with Soup Dumplings
XLBs take a few minutes to steam. Order them first so they arrive while you are still working through your starters. The Sampler is ideal if you have not tried all five flavors yet.
Pick a Shareable Side
Edamame and Cucumber Salad are low-cost, high-satisfaction table starters that stretch your order without adding much to the bill.
Add a Boba or Specialty Drink
Ugly Dumpling's beverage menu is a genuine highlight. Brown Sugar Boba, Taro Milk Tea, and Mango Lemonade are fan favorites at around $5–$7 each.
