Why Wichita Is a Notable Opening
Wichita will be the chain’s first stop in Kansas and one of its first restaurants between the East Coast and Texas. That makes it a test of how the soup dumpling format travels outside the big coastal metros.
East 13th Street North is a convenient route for diners from east Wichita, Andover and Bel Aire. Because the menu will be new to many locals, expect staff to spend time explaining dishes during the first months after opening.
Tips for Visiting Ugly Dumpling Wichita
- If you are unsure how to eat soup dumplings, use the spoon method: dumpling on the spoon, small bite, sip the broth, then finish it.
- Order steamed items first and wok dishes second. Baskets come out hot and are best eaten right away.
- The nearest other planned Midwest locations are West Des Moines, Iowa and Louisville, Kentucky, so Wichita will serve a wide area.
How to Eat Soup Dumplings
Lift the dumpling by its knot, set it on a soup spoon, bite a small opening, sip the broth, then eat the rest with a little black vinegar and ginger. Our ordering guide covers portion sizes and combinations in more detail.
