Ugly Dumpling

5pm on a Friday night waiting to pick up mum from Airport. Nice place to have a meal while waiting for people to arrive (beats paying for all that time on parking). I had a small bowl of self selection of meat, noodle or rice and vegetables. I had BBQ pork, cost $14.90. Nothing wow - it was average. I also ordered a bowl of prawn noodle soup. Okay, first time I've struggle to finish any soup from an Asian restaurant - the broth was very salty. Cost $19.99. Plenty of free parking, 2min drive to Auckland International Airport. Tidy, spacious and simple decor. Overall average 2.5 rating.

We were looking for a place to grab some food but couldn’t find a decent place. We came across this lovely bar and the staff with a very welcoming smile was very kind even though it was near closing time. Thank you! We were relieved to have something proper to eat before we check into the hotel. You can have a bowl of rice or noodle, salad amd 3 kinds of meat. Very near the airport Reasonable price

People here are super nice and they fill the boxes to the top. Today I had extra time to eat in and they ran out on eggs the waitress was nice enough to come over with a plate for me during my meal.

Looking for something tasty for dinner and not airport precinct pricey... the Ugly Dumpling was an absolute find. Fresh cooked dumplings in an assortment of fillings. Delicious, not heavy, and good selection of condiments too. Will eat here again.

Pork belly bao from this place is a must. They call it an 'ugly burger' which I found confusing at first but it is a steamed bao bun. They also have a selection of dumplings which are freshly made to order or an 'ugly bowl' which is basically a bento bowl where you choose noodles or rice, a selection of salads and 2 meat/toppings. Everything I have tried has been super nice and reasonably priced and there are plenty of tables inside.
