Visiting Ugly Dumpling Holmdel
The Holmdel restaurant is at 2130 NJ-35, Suite 6, along the Route 35 corridor in Monmouth County. The official site lists its phone number as (848) 294-7188 and describes it as a few minutes from Holmdel Towne Center and Bell Works.
It is the closest Ugly Dumpling for Middletown, Hazlet, Red Bank, Matawan and much of the Jersey Shore. Diners heading south from Edison will find the menu nearly the same, though prices can vary slightly.
For takeout, order pan-fried pork buns, fried rice and wontons. Soup dumplings are best eaten right away at the table.
Best Orders for a Quick Lunch in Holmdel
For a fast lunch near Bell Works, pan-fried pork buns and a fried rice arrive quickly and travel well if you are taking food back to the office. Soup dumplings are better when you can sit and eat them straight from the steamer.
For families, one basket of pork soup dumplings, popcorn chicken and a mild fried rice covers most kids and adults.
How Much to Order
Portions are made for sharing. A six-piece basket of soup dumplings is a snack for one or a starter for two. These combinations keep the table balanced between steamed, pan-fried and wok dishes.
