Dumpling's Legend (Chinatown)

• The Dim Sum in Dumplings' Legend is of high standards for a Chinese restaurant in Europe
• What I think was Fried Vermicelli Noodles &
• Dumplings' Legend is a great place to go for acceptable quality dim sum with a wide variety of dishes
• The dim sum is possibly the best I have had outside of China
• Upon entering the restaurant the first thing you notice is a dim sum station open for viewing to customers
• Showing exactly what it is Dumpling's Legend (Chinatown) is good at
• The menu is pretty elaborate and upon sitting down you are quickly attended to once you have placed your order the food comes quickly
• With attendants taking away baskets with dumplings still in them which I then had to call after her to return
• S exterior is painted in clean white paint
• The entrance is spacious with the cashier counter to your left
• Straight ahead are the stairs leading up to the floor above with more tables and a private room equipped with karaoke and a velvet cloth mahjong table
• Siu long baos which is what they are known
• You will spend time scuttling and moving dishes around the table making sure there is space for the variety of dishes was ordered
• Only did I realised that the dim sums were mostly steamed
• Words were used but with no significance
• Told that a discretionary charge was at the discretion of the manager rather than the diner
• I wondered if it was I that had behaved in a deplorable manner
• Dishes which they are supposed to be well known for were not at all impressive
• Shredded duck meat with the over powering ginger flavour
• Cheung fun with pork liver
• The filling is somewhat cloying
• Slightly too long slices that you will inevitably smear and spalsh yourself with the sauce all over your mouth each time you have a mouthful
• The rice noodles beneath that are stuck together when you try to mix them
• The rest of their food is nice and tasty but their delicious gravy filled dumplings certainly do stand out
• The service is so much friendlier than other restaurants in Chinatown
• I was actually quite disappointed with Dumpling's Legend (Chinatown)
• I though is was going to be really good as the name suggest but the dumplings themselves weren't even close to the best that I have ever had
• They were filled with water when we got ours
• I guess the only cool part about Dumpling's Legend (Chinatown) is that actually get to see the chefs make the dumplings within the restaurant
• This restaurant is a good value for money
• The place is a little bit crowed and the decoration a little bit poor but the variety of the menu is a very good point to note
• I think that this restaurant is a nice place to have lunch or dinner if you are looking for something affordable and correct in Soho
• Not that I'd mind though I would become my own worst enemy with the constant risk of eating myself being petty real
• Seriously how could you not love a meal that requires such little effort to eat and is so delicious
• Each delicately wrapped portion is a parcel of happiness with a variety of fillings which satisfy any diet
• The one that reigns above all is the Xiao Long Bao
• Xiao Long Bao is technically a type of steamed bun (bao) which is traditionally prepared in a small bamboo steaming basket (xiaolong) from which they gain their name
• Xiao Long Bao are traditionally filled with pork
• Just thinking about them make me famished and my go to place to get my fix is the aptly named Dumplings Legend
• The garlic pak choi was solid though nothing special and the same can be said for the spicy pork belly and vegetables and the stir fried vermicelli &
• The Xiao Long Bao themselves are worth making the visit
• It's not a 5 star restaurant but is on the middle of china town so
• The soup filled dumplings are quite special
• Busy bustling restaurents with lots of options for vegetarian and kids friendly
• Go surely for dim sum all kinds they are exceptionally good
• Aubergines Sichuan is also worth eating
• Dumpling legend is one of these restaurants that I often passed by but never tried
• Their namesake dumpling was their selling point but even that was pretty average as the pastry was quite thick
• They do have soup in the middle which was a mark of authenticity
• Their service was unfortunately subpar and was quite pushy
• This restaurant does not necessarily scream Chinese with its decor like a lot of other ones in the area do
• We tried several of them (too hungry to take photos at that point) and they were all quite good
• I would suggest getting a couple of the mains to share with your group as well
• I do not think it is a place I will choose to go again myself but if friends want to go I am not going to mind terribly
• Dumplings Legend is a Chinese restaurant in China Town serving a mixture of Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisine
• A steamed dumpling with pork and hot broth
• The quality is extremely questionable
• As the dumpling pastry is thick and rubbery which is totally opposite to what a good plate of Siu Loung Bao should be
• Other dim sums are also very average as far as China Town standard goes
• Shame about drinks waiter want to clear table got the bill I was being charged for drinks what a cheek
• Services were bad and the waiter were kind of rude
• Spent a nice enjoyable afternoon with some Aussie friends feasting like an Emperor
• Besides wanting to catch up and get stuff with food the 4 off us particularly enjoy
• Dumplings the restaurant had with a very renowned Michelin star restaurant Pied à
• The xiai long bao ones are the result of the partnership and are worth your undivided attention
• This rating is primarily driven by the poor service
• We had just 2 dishes and they were out of this world we had the dumpling platter Which had a combination of prawns and pork dumplings very fresh
• Otherwise the Cheungfun dim sum and Chinese broccoli with garlic was delicious
