Richmond's Destination for Soup Dumplings & Ramen

Richmond has built one of the South's most interesting food scenes. Ugly Dumpling at Willow Lawn came to join that conversation — not to compete with the city's strengths, but to bring authentic handmade Chinese cuisine to a community that understands and appreciates careful cooking.

The Richmond menu is the full Ugly Dumpling experience: all seven xiaolongbao flavors, the Ugly Dumpling Sampler at $15, four ramen bowls at $16 each, the complete dim sum lineup including pan-fried pork buns and pork & shrimp shumai, and wok classics like Braised Baby Back Ribs ($16), Kung Pao Chicken ($15) and Shredded Beef & Shishito Peppers ($16). Nothing abbreviated.

The Willow Lawn dining room is one of the most spacious in the chain — built for groups, birthday dinners, and the kind of long, shared meals that work their way through half the menu. Reservations are welcome for groups of 6 or more. Walk-ins are always accommodated.
