Asian Legend

My family came during Chinese New Year and had a great time. Staff was kind and friendly.Like-wise because of the labour shortages, the staff were extremely busy trying their best to serve everyone. Food did arrive slowly but that is understandable. The food was great, the atmosphere of the restaurant was good too.Washrooms were well taken care of and clean.Pricing is competitive for the service, food, and the atmosphere of the restaurant.Thank you =)

Asian Legend is a popular restaurant chain with multiple locations across GTA. My last visit was at their restaurant around Niagara-on-lake which I believe has permanently closed.We ordered the following items:1. Special pan fried dumplings 6 pcs $8.99.2. Green onion pancake rolled with beef flank. $8.993. Hot and Sour Soup $7.994. Taiwanese vermicelli with salted egg, pork, and shrimps. $14.99The pan fried dumplings are usually big and juicy however the ones served here were lacking flavour and the meat filling was tiny. The dumpling skin did have a nice crispy char so you know they were pan fried. The orders were delivered by a robot operating on GPS. I guess most restaurants will be employing this technology to reduce the need to hire busboy.The green onion pancake was wrapped with beef flank with hoisin sauce. These wrapped in tin foil and sliced in 4 bite sized portions. This was one of our favourite dishes here and it did not disappoint. The price is now pretty steep but I understand they need offset higher operating and food costs.The hot and sour was very spicy and watery. They need to add more corn starch. Lots of shredded pork, mushrooms, shrimps, and assorted veggies.Taiwanese vermicelli lacked colour and toppings. There was barely any shrimps and pork. I was disappointed and will not be ordering this again.Overall the experience was just ok. I would probably give them another chance maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen. There seems to be alot of cost cutting which did impact customer satisfaction. I hope the next time they address these issues.

Service was efficient and pleasant. Servers were friendly & polite. This place got crowded quickly so go early to avoid lining up. Great menu options with pictures. Food was served hot and delicious, full of flavor. Definitely worth the visit.

April 26, 20. My 2 friends (adult & senior) and I had a wonderful restaurant experience at Asian Legend (Shepherd & Brimley) today. I have been a customer in the Dundas W location for many years but this was my 1st visit to the Scarborough location. The building is red in colour (easy to find). Upon entry, the restaurant was very clean and beautifully decorated. I love the soft Chinese instrumental music in the background. I was impressed to see the bowls and tea cups wrapped up in transparent paper when we sat down at our table. The waitresses were friendly and helpful. It was my thanksgiving treat for my friends so I did some research this afternoon to select the Chinese restaurants with 4 stars which sell live Vancouver crab in the Scarborough area.Overall, the quality of foods, customer services, and hygiene at this Asian Legend location (Shepherd & Brimely) were first-rate. I was surprised to find out the difference in seasonal quotes for a live Vancouver crab in 2 Asian Legend locations. There was a difference of CAD$13. Interesting. I chose Scarborough location which has a better price @ about CAD$40 vs CAD$53 quoted by another location. I felt that the price for our meal is value-added and well worth our amazing experience today. The Peking Duck ($48) was fresh, nicely presented, and very tasty, as expected. 3 of us consumed all the duck soup ($10.95) in one seating. Need I say more. Please check the exact prices listed in the menu for accuracy. In addition, there were plenty of parking spaces onsite, and the women's washroom was spotless. Overall grade: A+. Highly recommended.

The dessert that I love, deep fried egg white with red bean paste inside, was better in Vancouver.

To avoid disappointment, you should make reservations. We saw some people get turned away for dinner on a Sunday night because they didn't have reservations.It has been a long time since we've had good dumplings because of the pandemic. We ended up over ordering but if we had to do it all over again we probably would've over order just the same. All the dishes were very good! Our favourites were the steamed soup filled dumplings and the Fish Fillet with Spiced Salt & Pepper.I only wished they had given us more sliced ginger with the vinegar for the various dumplings we ordered.

A good reliable place for Asian food but it can be often packed here. We tend to stick with the same dishes but they are always consistent and fresh. The service is always good and the food comes out quickly. Don't rate this based on other Asian Legend locations because we have had bad experiences elsewhere, but not here. UPDATE: This is still an amazing location and we've been coming here for years and the food is always fresh. Great to see that this place is continuing to pump out great food.

Boiled dumplings - chicken and mushroomThey do takeouts, online orders, and also do their own local deliveries. There is Wi-Fi access for their dine in customers. There are washrooms available on-site. If you have mobility issues, ask them where the nearest one is.The staff are courteous and attentive. Do you know they have a yearly VIP card program. If you have one, you can save 10% off your bill and collect points for gifts. Ask Joyce for further details. She is fluent in English and treats her customers like a VIP.There are several VIP rooms available at this location. Some are located in the main dining hall, while the others are located at the back of restaurant. Sliding doors separate these VIP rooms and can easily accommodate different sizes of group of people. Be aware there is a minimum order food charge per individual room. Call ahead for pricing.There are ample parking spaces at the front, side and at the back of the building. If there are no more parking spaces, which happens occasionally since this restaurant do get busy. You can discreetly park in the neighbouring stores and plazas. There is a multi level mall next door and a supermarket at the way back.They accept cash, debit and credit card payments. I gave ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because of my whole dining experience with the Servers, Food taste and presentation, and the overall cleanliness of Restaurant.They still abide to covid 19 protocols. I noticed a hand sanitizer bottle in every table, and all the dishes and utensils are still wrapped. You feel safe because the tables are still socially distance from one another. Note they do not have an outdoor patio.

Third world. This building ought be closed.washrooms are simply awful - a signing directing toilet paper away from being flushed. Deadly stairs to access.It is time for this place to close.The food was very very bad. There are also rather silly autonomous delivery drones" that are a complete waste.Hopefully the employees are paid according to Ontario law."

Big and nice restaurant that serving Chinese food. It's cozy inside with high ceiling. Reservation recommended. They're serving a delicious food. Everytime I go here, I always satisfied with their food. Highly recommended.
