Asian Legend

Good Asian food for family dinner on a weekend. If you are into dim sum, dumplings, nice soup and traditional Asian dishes, you are going to enjoy this place. Service is friendly and fast. Gets crowded, book your table ahead of time. Enjoy!

My first time dining in at Asian Legend and I must say I’m very impressed with the quality of the dishes! Everything I ordered was super fresh and flavorful. You can taste the umami wok essence every time you take a bite I ordered the lunch sized sautéed eggplant as well as the kung pao chicken / beef pancake roll / dan dan peanut noodles / pan fried steam bun / & soup dumplings. The lunch size was actually very filling for the price, each lunch special comes with rice and this refreshing cucumber side dish on the side. The eggplant was so special to me because the eggplant was soft on the inside yet the outside was nice and crisp. I really have to give credit to the talent of the chef! The eggplant had this sweet yet spicy sauce worked really well with the dish. For the kung pao chicken, the chicken were perfect bite sized pieces with peppers and onions and peanuts. The chicken is tender and crisp, works well with the chill oil essence and rice. The beef pancake was really nice! I’ve never ordered this before and it was like a doughy, flaky scallion pancake with layers of beef inside with some sauce that’s similar to hoisin/peking duck sauce. Really nice as an appetizer. The dan dan peanut noodles had some fluffy egg, cucumbers, carrots, and chicken and it was such a refreshing dish! I would highly recommend. For me, the noodles are what make it so special. With a perfect texture and chew, the noodles with the peanut sauce were to die for. When I asked I was told that the noodles are made in house for every noodle dish on the menu which is so unique to me. The pan fried dumplings were nice and juicy. It seems like they were steamed and then pan fried for this really nice crust at the bottom. The dumplings come out piping hot and the pork filling inside is super moist as if they’re soup dumplings! The star of the show. Their soup dumplings, made by highly skilled dim sum chefs in the kitchen. The dumpling skins made from scratch and by hand definitely live up to the hype as they’re soft yet firm as they hold the soup very well. The soup inside is light yet rich. Pair it with some vinegar and ginger soy sauce and you have a winning combo. I would highly recommend coming to dine in at Asian Legend!! It’s affordable and the dishes I tried today were stellar! I would say that it reminds me of Chinese restaurants when I was a kid, but the flavors are much more refined due to the skills in the kitchen and the quality of the ingredients!

First time here! The service was excellent and fast. We ordered # 120 Braised beef noodle soup, the broth was clean and the beef melts in your mouth. We also got # 11 a rolled onion pancake with slice beef, the skin was crispy and flavorful. We were hungry and added #3 steamed soup filled dumpling with ground pork. They were very big soup dumplings with a lot of soup. Great place for lunch, got to come back for dinner one night. You got to eat here!

Happy Friday everyone. And I must remember to charge my iphone before heading out ...LOL !!! My phone ran out of juice before the first dishes came out. Sorry for the lack of food pics today. But I came today with a group of 7 for lunch. We ordered a ton of different dishes to taste the wide range of flavours that they offered. We ordered the standard cold dishes like beef shank, dark soya tofu and shredded jellyfish. All were quite tasty, although I would the beef shank to not have the extra sauce on top because it made altered its taste by making it a tad too salty. The standard Xiao long bao were all very good. We tried the ones with soup and the some with less soup. All were very tasty. We also tried the clay pot stew. That was very enjoyable with the chicken and the broth. I was not overly impressed with the rice cake dish, it was too soggy for my taste. But I would order it again because the flavours were bang on. The Dan Dan noodles were a hit with my party. The noodles were excellent and the sauce paired very well. The wonton noodle soup was excellent. They really know how to do their dumplings at this location. From the wontons to the pan fried dumplings etc. All wonderful, fresh and tasty. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. I will return again. Please drop in for a wonderful meal and then let us all know what your thoughts are. Happy eats everyone. And remember to charge your phones...otherwise keep your Tesla card handy or better yet...bring your FOB...LOL !!!

I like the food so much. Great quality food. I know they cant help the cost of everything, but one fried rice, and general tso cost $38. That is a LOT. But we still order..got pancake. Sticky rice filled with pork skin, cantonese chow mein, and some wraps with meat/veggies

Really enjoyed the crispy rice dish. Other dishes were decent. Red bean dessert was hot and sweet. Restaurant size seems to have consolidated.

Have been to almost all the Asian Legend locations. If you are looking for good Chinese/Taiwanese food this chain of restaurants is a good choice. These dishes are from the Hwy 7 location in Richmond Hill. We ordered: Hot and sour soup my favourite. Soup filled dumplings it is better to eat this in store up I had a real craving and didn’t feel like eating out so I settled for take out Pan fried dumplings always delish Deep fried tofu. Again, better in the restaurant. The sauce is packed in a separate container for take out orders which is appreciated so the tofu doesn’t get too soggy and you can add as little or as much as you want. Red bean pancake for dessert. Good amount of red bean and flakey tasty dough

Always consistent food and service at this location. Highly recommend the soup dumplings and jia Jiang mian! Usually gets pretty busy around lunch and dinner time, but service is very quick so the wait is manageable.Food: 5/5

Average Chinese restaurant. We ordered fried rice, Eggplant, peanut sauce with spicy chilli oil sautéed dumplings, and Mao Xue Wang. Food quality and taste was okay, nothing special. Service was okay, they checked vaccinations and maintained clean environment.

I haven't eaten at the Asian Legend chain in 6 years because their menu was primarily pork and beef and I have dietary restrictions. But I was happily surprised to revisit their menu and see a whole bunch of new items added with chicken and vegetarian options. We ordered the steamed chicken dumplings, pan fried chicken dumplings, the fried rice cake noodles with pickled veggies, the slow cooked chicken noodle soup and the fried onion pancake with egg. The rice cake noodles originally came with pork but we asked them to sub it for chicken and they happily obliged. We also asked for no msg in the order and they were able to accommodate that for everything except the dumplings because the meat mixture is made beforehand totally understandable. All the dishes were delicious! The pan fried dumplings were perfectly fried and crispy and the slow cooked chicken soup was amazing. It doesn't picture well but the broth was homey, comforting and not overly salty I find many restaurant broths and soups tend to be overly salted. I'm so happy to see these menu updates and will cross my fingers for when they do a "soup filled chicken dumpling" aka xiao long bao but with chicken!
