Asian Legend

Goated Goated Goated.

Visiting from Montreal, love all the dishes (I did not order so idk what they were lmao).

It's a tier higher above MTL and me reading the reviews being critical is like a wtFfff (not used to Toronto Asian food standards). Oh well I was eating downstairs and the ventilation wasn't the best though and boy sure it was steamy hottt and kinda hard to breath （I have weak breathing conditions).

We had our New Years dinner here. Decent enough experience. Staff was kind and available. Food was good and served fresh along with some green tea
Would definitely return and recommend

I visited on Christmas and was glad it was empty
A restaurant with delicious Peking duck!
The jasmine tea on the table was delicious.

This is a popular store with customers always coming to the store.

I felt like I was being rushed a bit, but I was able to spend a very pleasant time with the attentiveness!

Thank you so much

I think the food taste okay and pretty good, depending what you order. The service was horrible. That’s why I never came back. Wouldn’t recommend coming here if your in Chinatown. There is plenty of options here in the area. For the price you pay here, there shouldn’t be rude people working here.

Prompt service but easy to miss while walking by. Wish they had a sign visible on street level. I always order the dumplings when I visit Asian Legend. The taste and seasonings (peanut sauce and red oil) are the tastiest version I ever had.

Pretty good chinese resto. Their xiao long baos were excellent and won ton soup and steamed dumpling were great. But shu Mai was just ok along with the fried baos. Would I go back? Maybe.

Service is so bad, ask me to pick up garbages, give me awful looks, despise looks, i pay tips,
The service was very poor. They asked me to pick up trash and gave me a look of disdain. I paid a tip.

Worst general tsao I've ever had. Wasn't even tossed in the sauce, and the sauce was not tasty. Quite expensive too.

The food quality has come down.
Perhaps frozen foods re steamed. Cantonese service team is better than 19 years ago mainlanders. The tofu squares is a winner.
Asian legends soup filled dumplings were frozen type.the bow was good and the leaf rice I didn't get. Food items are over priced all over 10$ for 3 pieces.the rice noodles are very good.general Tao was big big dissatisfaction

Such delicious food and such nice atmosphere. We got a private seating area downstairs and despite them being really busy, the staff was very polite and courteous. Will definitely come here again!

Go to spot in chinatown! Extensive menu with all the favourites and some lesser known but tasty dishes.northern chinese focus but lots of cantonese and HK plates too.open late and good for large parties (they even have a private dining room in the basement). Super clean & sleek interior

Personnel très désagréable sans raison. Ma carte a été refusé une première fois et la serveuse roule des yeux et soupire. Bonne cuisine quoiqu'un peu cher

A staple of Chinese food in Chinatown
Everything always delicious. Ingredients fresh. Service prompt. Prices reasonable.

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.

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

Wonderful place if you want their steamed soup dumplings which they are very much known for. The food overall is good - the atmosphere is not as good as some of their larger locations in Markham.

The taste of Scarborough is average. The Wanjin store is delicious, the Korean red bean paste is made up, and the Mushu pork tastes mediocre. No eggs in sight. Slice-skin duck is fine. 80 is expensive for one to eat.

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!
