Visiting Ugly Dumpling Linden
Ugly Dumpling Linden is at 661 West Edgar Road (US-1 and 9) in Union County. The official site lists its phone number as (908) 257-0802 and shows it as open.
Linden is the nearest working location for Elizabeth, Rahway, Roselle, Clark and Cranford. It is also the closest open option for diners waiting on the Route 22 restaurant in Springfield (listed as Union, NJ), which is still marked coming soon.
Edison, the chain’s best-known New Jersey restaurant, is about 20 minutes south if you want to compare the two.
Happy Hour and Weekday Specials in Linden
Ugly Dumpling Linden has promoted a weekday happy hour on its Facebook page, listed as Monday to Thursday, 2 PM to 5 PM and again from 8:30 PM to 10 PM, along with chef’s specials on weekday lunches. Deals change, so check the restaurant’s social pages or ask staff before you go.
If you want the best value outside those windows, the six-piece pork soup dumplings and a shared fried rice are the most filling pair on the menu for the price.
