    We visited Ugly Dimpling in Newark, Delaware and had an amazing experience! The food was flavorful and creative, with fun twists on traditional dishes. Our server, Jayson, truly made the night memorable. He was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable even double-checking ingredients and confirming with the kitchen due to a gluten allergy at our table. If you go, ask for Jayson, he’s the kind of server that makes a great meal even better!

    The food here is good and reasonably priced, though nothing particularly exceptional overall. That said, I highly recommend trying the soup dumplings, they’re easily the standout item on the menu. The stir-fry noodles come in a close second. It’s a solid spot to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family.

    Food exceeded expectations. The interior is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. The prices are very reasonable. The service is excellent and the order came out at a great pace. Some highlights were the cucumber salad, the pork and shrimp wonton, and the pork&shrimp spinach soup dumpling. We will definitely be back with friends and family.
