If you dont like the food here, it's likely because you don't know how to order.
Someone mentioned that this place is not a shanghainese dimsum place, but a taiwanese restaurant...well the reality is that most places that serve good shanghai dimsum were opened by taiwanese (ding tai fung in taiwan, for example). At any rate, the soup dumplings, and all kinds of other dumplings are all shanghainese cuisine, so are the fried noodles and any form of rice cake.
I used to LOVE this place growing up. The owner of the place was related to ding tai fong in first markham place but I always thought the food here is a little better than FMP. I don't know if they switched owners by now, but I came back yesterday and the food quality has not changed.
I always order to start their spicy beef tendon (when i was little i used to get my parents to buy just that for takeout when we're in the area). Another staple I eat there is the rice cake stir-fried with pickled vegetables...a little salty but delicious. I also love their peapod stems stir-fried with garlic.
I'm so glad i went back yesterday to satisfy my craving. No matter how many times i go to Asian Legend, it just does not compare.
