Today, July 27th 2020, is Ugly Dumpling's 3rd birthday!
Ugly Dumpling is a super casual global fusion dumpling restaurant right in the middle of Soho.They serve really delicious twists on the typical Asian dumpling. Here you’ll find creations like the cheeseburger dumpling, fish and chips dumpling, mushroom truffle dumpling, pecan pie, cheesecake and Nutella dumplings - yes I know they sound so wrong (except for the desert ones) but trust me they are so good. And all they're all 3 for £5.
Ugly Dumpling was one of my biggest saviours during lockdown - I really loved their frozen dumplings hand delivered by Philipp Chaykin the founder himself!
Chaykin quit his job in big corporate consulting land to start a dumpling restaurant. He found street food operator - The Ugly Dumplings run by Ping Wong and asked is she would go into business with him. And that was the beginning of Ugly Dumpling. Chaykin's is an interesting story because he basically outsourced everything about this restaurant which really shows if you have the money and have done the right research you can open your own restaurant without any real experience in the industry.
