First time here, so I decided on giving them the litmus test for dim sum restaurants. There are foods in every culture where you base the restaurant's worthiness upon first visits.
With dim sum places a good reference point would be as follows:
1. Har Gow - steamed shrimp dumpling.
- this one failed on the dumpling cover as it was tough and broke apart very easily upon manipulating with the chopsticks. Taste wise it was a little on the bland side but would rate 3/5.
2. Siu Mai - traditionally a steamed pork dumpling but in this case shrimp was added.
- again a little bland and close to undercooked.
Rating at 2/3.
3. Steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf. I really hate to slay the dead horse but this was bland and uninspired. Where is the flavour? Rating 3/5.
The dining room is beautifully decorated, the washrooms are clean (rare for Chinese Restaurants), it is family oriented which is a plus for those with children, and a living hell for those who want to dine without kids using their dishes and chopsticks as a drum kit. The service is also efficient.
Unfortunately, in a city so full of good competitors it would seem Legend only survives based upon their relative distance away from real competition. They simply need to bring in a good head chef.
Overall - 3/5
