Asian Legend

My go-to Chinese food place. When my parents visit, we always come here. I have ordered different dishes and never once disappointed! I’d said their soup dumplings are top notch, probably the best in Toronto. I also really liked their green beans, dim sum, and ma po tofu.

A great spot with an impressive menu of Chinese dishes in downtown. Always a popular place as well! Here, we got the Steamed Soup-filled Dumplings with Crab Meat and Pork. The broth could be a bit stronger and more aromatic in flavour, but still a decent choice. The Noodles with Minced Pork in Peking Sauce were delicious, the noodles had an incredible bite and texture to them. And finally, the Camphor Smoked Duck, amazing if you like duck. Some pieces were a tad dry, but that is just being picky. Overall, you cannot go wrong with the dishes here!

Nice clean modern decor, consistent quality standard with the Asian Legend chain, Northern Chinese fare with a few new Cantonese items. Braised beef noodle soup, pot stickers and steamed soup filled pork dumpling are my standards.

A good place to go if you are looking for peking duck in downtown. Crispy skin duck and they use all the duck parts. All other dishes were good too. Great for family gatherings and service was good.

The downtown location of the Asian Legend chain there are five locations in the GTA is something of an institution. They serve mainly northern Chinese cuisine - with some dishes from other regions as well - in a modern space check out the robot that brings your dishes to the table! We popped by for a quick lunch and were not disappointed. We ordered three of our "go-to" dishes: Braised Bamboo Shoots for an appy; Shrimp and Pork Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce the peanut sauce was a new twist for us; and, Noodles with Minced Pork in Peking Sauce. Everything was very well executed, with the wonton dish standing out due to the addition of the peanut sauce over the wontons in oil. We are keen to return to try their legendary Xiaolongbao and Peking Duck. We definitely recommend stopping by Asian Legend if you find yourself in Toronto's downtown Chinatown.

The service was great. We got their fried rice, beef patty, and kungpao chicken. The fried rice was very good, nice and chewy and not too oily. Their beef patty was also filled with meat. Their Kung Pao chicken was good overall, however the peanut in the Kung Pao chicken was stale. Overall I would recommend this place, the atmosphere is very relaxing and quiet.

Still a go-to for me after so many years!!! It's become somewhat of a Toronto China town institution for sure - mainly Northern Chinese food, but there definitely are some items on the menu that are southern. We ordered the usual suspects and everything was good. Is it AUTHENTIC, ELEVATED Chinese? no, but does it satisfy the cravings ? Yes. Also, order the cold chili oil noodles. That was a pleasant surprise for me. The noodles were actually SO good, the perfect chewiness. 100% would re-order. Oh and of course the dumplings in peanut sauce - must order.

Beware this place! Non-existent service and demanding a higher tip?! so many reviews about this This place has gone down the toilet. Service was non-existent and food was just terrible. Our tea was never re-filled and the waitress never checked on our table. There was only 2 other tables so they were not busy at all but the second dish took forever to arrive. The fried dumpling special was not even crispy and very soft. The steamed buns were very dry and flavourless. I still provided a 10% tip but the waiter SHOVED the payment back in my face and demanded I tip more. I was feeling pressured and he embarrassed me in front of my guest. I reached for my wallet and topped it up. But even after doing that he just took the payments back and didn't acknowledge it or say thanks!! I regret topping up the tip or giving any at all. At this point I was pretty angry that he had the audacity to demand a HIGHER TIP when I didn't receive any service. All they did was set the food on the table and made us feel very uncomfortable. Restaurant not only left me with a bad taste but many negative emotions. Needless to say after going here for many years with friends and family, I will not be recommending this place to anyone

We had hot and sour soup, sweet and sour pork and a thick noodle with cabbage. All three dishes were very good. Perfect amount for three people.Food: 5/5

The duck was not crunchy at all even though the waitress reassured it would be. Weird taste and pricey for the lack of quality. Additionally, the waitress pointed loudly out that we tipped her too little even though it was a reasonable amount. Which was very uncomfortable for everyone there. Being a waitress myself I would never say that even if someone doesn’t tip. All in all would never go back or recommend to anyone.
