| - Food 2/5 (60% of final grade)
The food was quite standard of Chinese restaurants, with nothing special to be really noted. My friend and I ordered the chili-oil fish, beef pancakes, a soup, cumin beef, and also chili-oil innard slices. The beef pancakes were the highlight of our meal, and even that wasn't anything special. Asian Legend's cooking isn't much of a culinary experience-- nothing special about its taste. The chili-oil fish was too thick, and not impressive in its spice level. The cumin beef didn't even taste like cumin, I don't even remember what the soup tasted like, because it was so bland, and the innard slices were unimpressive as well.
Ambiance 3/5 (10% of final grade)
The ambiance was actually quite nice for a Chinese establishment... if the bowls and cups weren't sorta still dirty. It was obvious that they spent some money on the interior decoration, and the place itself wasn't dirty (though it wasn't particularly clean either). All in all, I would have given the interior a 4 for trying, but it wasn't clean, so I'm giving it a 3.
Service 2.5/5 (10% of final grade)
We walked in and weren't even greeted for a seat until we walked right up to the cashier. Then we were greeted by a lady who obviously had better things to do than tend to her customers. The staff were not attentive, and we had to wave them over to get our order down. I only gave them a 2.5 because at the end of the day they still brought us our food...
Cost 2/5 (10% of final grade)
For what it was, it was on the pricier side. I would much prefer spending the same amount for better food at a shadier Chinese place.
Brownie Points 0/5 (10% of final grade)
Not my favourite place.
Final Grade = 39/100 = 2 Stars
TLDR: If you're looking for somewhere to bring your Caucasian friend, then this might be the place, since they might not know what good Chinese food taste like, and prefer a bit more of an ambiance to their meal. Don't bring your Chinese friends here though -- they're better off eating better food elsewhere.
