A sample order for a weekday lunch break, priced

Closest restaurants in the meantime
Until Cranston opens, Providence-area diners have Seekonk, Massachusetts on Fall River Avenue, which is also listed as coming soon. The nearest restaurant with full details is in Hamden, Connecticut, a longer trip that suits a New Haven day out better than a weeknight dinner.
Cranston and Seekonk sit on opposite sides of Providence, so once both open, which one is closer depends on which side of the city you start from.
Planning the first visit
Soup dumplings are the order to build around. Six classic pork xiao long bao are about $13.80 to $14.95, and a vegan wonton soup or garlic greens round out a table. Every price is on the Ugly Dumpling menu page.
Wait for a phone number to appear on the list, or for recent reviews, before you drive over. We will update this page when the restaurant opens.
Is a drive to Hamden worth it before Cranston opens?
Only if you plan a full meal. Hamden, near New Haven, is the closest restaurant with a phone number, (203) 987-6088. A table of two can take the sampler ($17.25), steamed dumplings ($9.20) and noodles with sesame sauce ($10.35) for $36.80 before tax and tip, enough to taste several fillings in one sitting.
Hamden is open 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and until 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, like every Ugly Dumpling. Once Seekonk or Cranston opens, either will be a far shorter trip for Providence diners.
