Linden, NJ · Flagship · 661 W Edgar Rd
The original Ugly Dumpling flagship in Linden, NJ serves all 7 handmade soup dumplings (xiaolongbao), a full ramen menu, dim sum, wok dishes and bubble tea under one roof — with bar seating and tasting menu experiences unavailable anywhere else.
Ugly Dumpling Linden at 661 W Edgar Rd is where the brand's flagship vision lives. Every one of the 75+ menu items is available here, from the signature pork xiaolongbao that started it all to the pork & truffle soup dumplings at $15 and the four-ramen lineup at $16 each. Linden diners get the full picture.
The bar counter overlooking the kitchen is Linden's most sought-after seating: watch the dumpling team fold each xiaolongbao by hand, see the ramen broths poured to order, and track every dish from prep to plate. It's the most immersive Ugly Dumpling experience in New Jersey.
Linden is also the only location hosting multi-course tasting menu evenings and private events. If you're planning a special dinner in Linden or a group booking in Union County, call (551) 294-3181 to arrange it. Walk-ins are always welcome during normal hours.
