I'm always hesitant when it comes to ordering chicken because you never know if its fresh or full of fat, but ordering general tsos chicken was absolutely delicious!!!! Crispy and flavorful and the soup dumplings were so tasty! You need to mix the ginger with the soy sauce it's a must we will be returning! View all feedback.

What Jesse Yuan dislikes about Dumpling Legend:

My meal consisting of Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean Sauce and Pork Potstickers was ok, nothing to write home about. Chow Fun was good sized portion with huge slices of beef and not super oily however those potstickers, well let’s just say it’s full ofwater inside and bland. If I didn’t know any better I would think it was first boiled then put it on a flat top just to giveit some color. Traditional potstickers genera... View all feedback.

Rude manager. I couldn't even put my entire order in and he basically tried to scold me for ordering too much??? I only ordered 1 thing at this point. Ruined my whole experience. Why wouldn't you want to take my money??? And the portions are small. I would've been better off ordering Chinese from my local restaurant

I was originally going to order through DoorDash, but needed to ask the restaurant a question about a meal. He recommended me picking it up cause I'll end up paying $20 more through DoorDash, so I picked up. That was very nice of him to look out for me. Other than that, the food was ridiculously good! I had spicy Szechuan chicken and it was outrageous. This isn't a typical local Chinese food place. It's a blend of all Asian food and is top notch. Highly recommend

The vegetarian dumplings at Dumpling Legend are outstanding, whether you choose them pan-fried or steamed.

I usually order the spring rolls and pork chop over rice, always asking for extra fish sauce. It's quite good for Queens.

Wow, this Vietnamese style hot sour soup is incredible. But be warned, it's served in a large bowl that's big enough for 2 people. So you better bring your appetite! It's very savory. You won't be disappointed.

Dumplings is just ok. But noodles and dishes are very good. Would come again.

The name of this restaurant truly reflects its essence - their dumplings are nothing short of legendary. In particular, you shouldn't miss the pan-roasted pork dumplings and the spicy Markton dumplings. If you're in the mood for delicious Cantonese cuisine and mouthwatering dumplings, this is definitely the spot to visit.

I recently tried the Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean Sauce and Pork Potstickers at this restaurant. The Chow Fun was a good size with large slices of beef and not too greasy. However, the potstickers were disappointing; they seemed to be filled with water and lacked flavor. They appeared to have been boiled before being cooked on a flat top, which is not the traditional way to make potstickers (typically they are steam sautéed). Overall, the restaurant was clean and the service was average, but in my opinion, it did not live up to the positive reviews it has received.

We went there twice over 2 days and never had a bad meal. The service was great. They get you in and out and that worked out because we were in a conference. You have to try the lychee soda. There was also a noodle dish with a black bean sauce to thatwas amazing. Don't forget the crab and pork steamed dumplings.

I could be wrong but that’s the impression I had. Therestaurant was clean and service was decent but IMO didn’t live up to the hype of some other reviews.

I recently ordered food through Uber Eats during my lunch break. I got rice and two orders of dumplings, but unfortunately, they didn’t include any utensils or napkins. The service was disappointing.

After spending an hour dining and preparing to leave a $2 tip on a $50 bill, we encountered a rude front desk employee who insisted that tips should be a minimum of 10%. They told us not to return and effectively chased us away, claiming we were no longer welcome. On a side note, we had intended to give a $10 tip to our server after the meal, but we didn't see him again, so we handed the money to the manager to pass along. Unfortunately, the manager kept the tip for themselves. This experience made it clear to us that the service at this restaurant isn't worth the hassle. Tipping should be based on good service, not something mandatory. Thank you for revealing your true colors—entitled and unwelcoming.
