Ugly Dumpling offers a separate gluten-free menu with many choices, including dumplings, tempura, and noodles. Dedicated fryers and a separate prep area are used, and staff are trained on cross-contamination. All GF food arrives on black plates, a visual cue that servers double-check. The kitchen is shared, so a 100% guarantee is not possible, and a small number of diners have reported mild reactions. Highly sensitive individuals are advised to call ahead.
