    Spaghetti News

    Spaghetti Warehouse will close longtime location in West End Dallas

    An institution in Dallas' West End is closing: Spaghetti Warehouse Restaurant announced that they are making "the difficult business decision" to closure their location in Dallas' West End District.

    The restaurant – which has been located at 1815 North Market St. for 47 years – will remain open until the close of business on Sunday, October 20.

    It's hard to believe but the location opened 47 years ago as Spaghetti Warehouse's flagship location, when they were founded in 1972.

    They're inviting customers to share their Spaghetti Warehouse memories in Dallas' West End on their Facebook page at facebook.com/spaghettidallas.

    Many of the recollections center on the charming trolley, located in the center of the restaurant. According to a spokesman, the trolley is an original East Dallas Trolley car.

    Other memorabilia: One of the booths was made with the headboard and footboard of a bed that once belonged to Stephen F. Austin, the "father of Texas."

    The history of the building is that, at one time, it was a pillow factory.

    "Our other locations also have similar histories, in terms of how the buildings were used prior to becoming a restaurant," the spokesperson says.

    A release says they are working closely with everyone on their staff whose hard work and dedication is appreciated. They also thank their many guests and "everyone throughout the Dallas community."

    "We enjoyed serving you, your family and friends," it says. "And, it was our pleasure to celebrate your many birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions."

    For questions, you can email info@meatballs.com.

    The closure leaves eight locations of the chain. For those still craving a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs or lasagna, they invite guests to visit the Spaghetti Warehouse in Arlington at 1255 W. I-20.

    Dumpling News

    Asian soup dumpling chain Ugly Dumpling to open location in Allen

    Colorful dumplings from Ugly Dumpling

    A new dumpling concept is coming to Dallas-Fort Worth: Called Ugly Dumpling, it's a chain specializing in Chinese soup dumplings, and it's opening its first DFW location in Allen, at 213 N. Central Expy., near the intersection of McDermott Road, where it will debut in early fall.

    Ugly Dumpling is from Vertex Hospitality Group, a national restaurant franchise organization whose portfolio includes two other Asian chains, KPOT Hot Pot & Korean BBQ (which has a location in Arlington and another coming to Fort Worth), and Kinya Ramen.

    Buoyed by the success of those two brands, Vertex launched Ugly Dumpling in 2023, opening the first location in Edison, New Jersey. They now list 26 locations on their website, in Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Texas, although 14 are "coming soon," including one in Austin that's been in the works since 2024.

    Soup dumplings — official name, xiao long bao — are a dish of Shanghai origin that are popular due to their unique combination of a delicate dough wrapper enclosing a tender filling and savory broth, which releases when you take a bite — making for an indelible comfort food experience.

    Ugly Dumpling's menu includes six varieties of dumplings, accompanied by a savory soup broth, as follows:

    • chicken
    • pork
    • pork & crab
    • pork & truffle
    • pork, shrimp, & spinach
    • Szechuan pork

    Porky! They can be ordered in a dumpling sampler, one of each variety, for about $14. No vegetarian options, although they do have a couple of vegan dishes such as vegan wonton soup.

    There are also Chinese classics like spring rolls, cream cheese wontons, hot & sour soup, salt & pepper popcorn chicken, garlic green beans, orange chicken, beef & broccoli, Mongolian beef, Kung pao chicken, and fried rice; plus tempting Asian favorites like edamame and bao buns, and even chicken wings.

    They also serve boba tea and other beverages.

    Bringing the concept to DFW is Grace Zhao, who previously owned Zhao Star Chinese Bistro in Frisco, which she sold. She's all in on Ugly Dumpling — "we're hoping to open more than one location, but Allen comes first," she says.

    A statement from marketing head Margaret Farrell says that "when we created Ugly Dumpling, we wanted to tap into the historical Shanghai street food movement but do so in a way that caters to the modern palette. [Surely she means 'palate'?] Our menu respects Shanghai's centuries-old cooking techniques while cultivating an exciting experience for today's restaurant goer."
