Ugly Dumpling Happy Hour: Times, Deals & Locations
Ugly Dumpling does not publish one happy hour for the whole chain. Instead, individual restaurants set their own deals and announce them on their social pages. The brand's main Facebook page has promoted a new happy hour, and several locations have followed with their own posts.
This guide collects what each location has actually published, marks what is still unconfirmed, and shows the best-value dishes on the regular menu for times when no happy hour is running.

What Happy Hour Usually Includes
Location posts generally advertise discounted food and drinks during a set afternoon or late-evening window. The exact dishes, drink specials and prices are chosen by each restaurant and change over time, which is why this page does not list happy hour prices that could be out of date. At locations with a bar, drink specials are only available to guests 21 and over with valid ID.
