david changApril 23, 2011has become my go to spot for sichuan food. Menu is massive - order dan dan noodles, glutinous rice balls, wonton in red oil, ma po tofu is sick, also all chicken and pork dishes from sichuan region.
Jackie SmithFebruary 14, 2017Best Szechuan I've ever had! Absolutely in love! Came with a big group, sat downstairs round table with lazy Susan. So much fun! Dan-Dan noodles and the soup noodles with braised need are sublime!
Jessica LiApril 28, 2013The BEST Chinese food I've had in NYC, which says a lot because there's a LOT of Chinese food in the city. Den den noodles, duck, fish/pickled veggie soup, mapo tofu, chili prawns, shrimp dumplings.
EaterJuly 30, 2012The chef here, Ding Gen Wang, is something of a star in his native China. Although everything here is very good, the best dishes are off-the-menu. [Eater 38 Member]
If you don't know what you want to get, just order their Chengdu Fish and Pickled Vegetable. The portion is big enough for at least 3-4 people and it is made in the most authentic Chengdu style!
Jin MoonMay 9, 2015I got Chongqing chicken and it was pretty good like everyone said except it has a strong peppercorn after taste that says in your tongue and changes your tastebuds. Too much peppers also.
I literally have eaten here every week for the past 2 years. Everything is great! highlights include: chengdu spicy fish filet, spicy Sichuan cold noodle, spicy stir fried eggplant, chonqing chicken
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 7, 2018Best Chinese I've had in NYC next to Joe's Shanghai.Loved (in this order): Shanghai pork soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, egg drop soup, sweet/sour chickenOK: lo meinPro-tip: Order less
Alexis BendjouiaDecember 7, 2014The shrimp dumplings were excellent. Szechuan cucumbers pretty tasty and crunchy. Scallion pancakes lacked flavor. Food was very fast!
One of my favorite restaurants right now. Make sure to order from the Sichuan part of the menu! The other dishes are probably be fine but you're missing out on the magic.
Nico PitneyJanuary 7, 2013"Everyone talks about Mission Chinese, but Legend actually has better food and gets less hype. This is where we go to get our crazy Chinese on, sans hipsters and hip hop."
That GirlAugust 31, 2015Pork dumplings in chili oil are a must. Ginger scallion lo mein is good but it's not the best thing on the menu. Very nice staff.
Dan dan noodles are fantastic. Their fuqifeipian is great but could be sliced thinner! Top quality food though, definitely visiting again.

Please like us on our new official Facebook fan page, Legend Bar and Restaurant:- Kathryn YuJanuary 20, 2013Parties of two have to do a "hot pot prix fixe" with a choice of beef or lamb. The cost is $43.95 for two. The pot arrives with both the meat and broth already inside.
- Eric WagnerSeptember 6, 2011I recommend the Sichuan spicy boiled fish stew--a traditional Sichuanese dish and one of their signature menu items. Oh and just as a heads up, you're not supposed to eat the chili peppers, haha. Read more
Kiwi WangNovember 12, 2016Surprisingly legit! All the offal and chilis you would expect from a Szechuan place and more 💥❤️
alex toyOctober 26, 2015The fried crispy prawns are so delicious. Spicy and the fried chilies aren't spicy, more like a spicy chip. :-)
Order the pork dumplings in chili oil (aka exploding dumplings) for some spicy love!
Serious EatsFebruary 10, 2015Skip the Americanized stuff for great Sichuan like juicy Chongqing chicken and crackly fried eggplant.
Stick with the traditional Sichuan dishes here, such as the MaPo Tofu, Fuqifeipian, and the proteins in chili oil.

- Try the cube steak (bo luc loc) for something mild, super tasty and off the average order
Matthew LimMarch 26, 2017Spicy Tears Mung Bean Noodles. BBQ Spare ribs. Cucumbers. tons of other stuff.
Longfei XingDecember 16, 2015authentic Chinese! Ask for the Chinese version menu to get more tasty real Chinese food!
Danny ChangNovember 19, 2015Don't get any pig intestine dish, it's kinda chewy. Do get the traditional dish and little juicy pork buns.
Find. Eat. Drink.August 10, 2011Try the Dry Spicy Chicken w peanuts, the exploding pork dumplings and #54 Bean Curd mixed with chopped green onion... it will surprise you.
- Steamed whole seabass , Lamb w/scallions, mo pa tofu, dan dan noodles. All very good dishes.
- Fish soup , bok choy & black mushrooms , dan dan noodles & shrimp dumplings
Good lunch special. Hot and sour soup is actually hot and sour.
Sahm AdrangiAugust 25, 2011Delicious and cheap. Excellent for Chinese in this area. Dan Dan noodles a must
Jesse FriedlandApril 9, 2012Delicious szechuan food. Great lunch special: soup and a meal for $7.50!
I like the szechuan kung pao chicken and the wontons in chili oil sauce.
Michelle GDecember 21, 2010Youe must have the pork dumplings with chili oil. Also the double sauteed pork is fantastic.
Order dan dan noodles, wontons in red oil, any tofu dish and the prawns---that's what David Chang says- Tracie LeeJanuary 13, 2013The Chonjqing chicken is NOT fucking around. If you love spicy this dish is for you.
