"Newly opened Shannxi Legend is Chinese restaurant that is specialized in the cooking style of Shaanxi (which is in the Northwestern part of China) \n\nThe menu does reflects this regional cuisine but with a mix of the staples dumplings and noodles that offers in other Northern Chinese Restaurant. The use of peppercorn is spared, the emphasis are more on sour and spicy... sugar seldom used in the cooking process... so don't expect any sweet and sour item on the menu. \n\nThe waitress here speak Mandarin and really helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. \n\nShredded Potato Salad ($5.99) \n- Potato crispy and fresh... but lacking the spicy kick as compare to other places I been to \n\nShaanxi Cold Steamed Noodle ($2.99) \n- The Noodle are the thicker and wider versions \n- again not spicy enough... and this is supposed to be a 2 chili dish \n- the dried tofu puffs has a really interesting texture... which I enjoyed \n\nBeef Noodles with Lanzhou Style Soup ($5.99) \n- The soup based is clear broth but has good flavours... \n- noodles though not hand pulled which is $1 extra has this nice, chewy texture and without that doughy taste.. \n- Beef is more like the preserved type... dried and chewy not the melt in the mouth tender \n- good value for the money! The portion is huge!! \n\nNote, the waitress recommended some of the Soup Filled Buns which is their specialities, might have to try those out... They are reasonable priced $4/6 but for 2 of us... if we ate 3 of those buns, we cannot eat anything else! \n\nNo Lunch Specials but they are have 10% off Grand Opening discount!"^^ . "3"^^ .
