The dumplings at Leong’s Legend are amazing! Not only is the food delicious, the service from the hosts is exceptional. They are friendly and always willing to share a recommendation. My favourite place in China Town for dumplings!

When you are feeling under the weather the best thing to have is something light. I remember being force fed congee when I was younger and hated it. Things have changed, I can now appreciate all the different types of congee there is and it is a sort of c ...

Located right in the middle of china town. Good selection of dishes. Food came out in no particular just when it was ready. Peking duck pancake portion was very generous.

The Leong’s Legend is that it’s actually a half decent Taiwanese option in Chinatown. I get a bit bewildered whenever I’m in Chinatown and tasked with choosing a restaurant. Everything looks so samely, and everything is so samely for the most part. Leong’s Legend (currently) has one of the highest ratings for the places in the Chinatown area on Zomato. And that was enough to know for my reckoning.

I'm vegetarian, vegan actually but that's a problem I face most places. I live in shanghai so I was very intrigued when I saw vegetarian xiaolongbao because even living in mainland I've never seen that before. And I've been there for a while. I was super nervous and cautious when I ordered it didn't seem like the server understood me when I spoke in rustic mandarin so I translated in English too? It was albeit weird when she offered to eat one of my dumplings to check if it's actually vegetarian after tearing into one. They got my order wrong a total of 4 times, but eventually got me vegetarian xiaolongbao and that was worth the hassle. Absolutely recommended.
The vegetarian fried rice came with egg 3 times upon which the server offered me a free drink to make up for their confusion.
The food and attentive service I'd definitely come back for. The time I spent waiting, not so much. Could be better. It didn't honestly have a traditional Chinese feel to it, the place left me missing home.

Generous portions; speedy service. Had the beef brisket rice, which was very nice flavour wise but the meat was a bit tough. Would also have liked some vegetables with the dish. And, given this is a Taiwanese restaurant, I was disappointed they didn't have my favourite dish of minced pork and preserved vegetables.

Went here with a friend who recommended it as she was craving the pork belly and juicy dumpling! Both were really good! Service was quick...but wouldn't say there was much of an atmosphere about the place, to be fair we did go on a very quiet Sunday afternoon!

One of the finest places in Chinatown where you get the best Dimsums.I've been here a couple of times,their service and food at it's best.I personally like their pork buns and Leong's braised pork belly.I suggest them to make things medium spicy,they give it accordingly.The interior setup is neat and well maintained.Overall this place has a decently priced menu with good Chinese food

I first stumbled across Leong’s Legend almost exactly two years ago. I had been to Ronnie Scott’s jazz club with my boyfriend, drunk quite a lot of wine, and we were hunting down a place in Chinatown to grab some food. We came across a door with a sign saying ‘please knock’ – given our slightly tipsy state we obeyed…

Alright. This is the stop for that Chinese food in London. Small and cozy joint, staff is amazing. Chinese tea and Taiwanese spicy beef noodle soup it is for the fall weather in London. Must visit. Will be back again.

We visited this place in the break between Harry potter and the curse child shows. We were impressed that there wasn't a queue and we were seated immediately. The service was really quick which was just what we needed as we needed to be back at the theatre. Would really recommend the dumplings to start, quarter of duck with pancakes was a little dry. The sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice was spot on, overall very tasty. Unfortunately the service was a little lacking. We had to request knapkins and bowls, and the table wasn't wiped between courses. Or after it was cleared. Felt we had value for money though so we would recommend if you are in the area.

Went for a late dinner so no queue but understand that this is usually the case. We opted for a dimsum starter, morning glory main with garlic to share and my partner had the beef noodle soup while I had sliced potatoes. Utterly delicious, good portions. I’d always recommend the jasmine tea as it’s tasty and refillable. Staff were really lovely as well.

Chinese specialities in perfect quality! Once you have had the first bamboo steamer with dimsum there is no turning back and you feel the intense wish to eat the entire menu up and down. Xiaolongbao are spectacular, but also many other dishes demonstrate the impressive variety of Chinese cuisine. I always find it fascinating how much refined aroma Chinese chefs can put into pork dishes, which is commonly considered as cheap meat in Europe. We did not have any Peking duck, therefore no data, but the redt was just perfect 👍.

The food is so good, you inhale it. The stir fry morning glory and pork dim sums were succulent. Friendly staff. Quick service. Will definitely keep coming back.

Went specifically for the giant soup dumpling, which is served with a straw. It was tasty with plenty of soup but not much filling. Would avoid the big pork bao. It’s fine, pleasant, nothing special. Morning glory vegetables and glass noodles were fresh and flavoursome. Service was rushed but we enjoyed the experience. 4.5 stars.

I've been to Leongs Legend a few times now and have enjoyed the food. Service has been quick making it a good place to go before a show. There have been times where there is a wait to get in but bookings can be made. I've only ever gone without a reservation and havem't had to wait longer than 15 minutes to be seated. Worth considering amongst the many restaurants in Chinatown.

Had my favourites sticky glutinous mushroom rice & seafood vermicelli. It's absolutely amazing. Having lived in London near the WestEnd for half many years Chinatown was our favourite place to eat, so we have worked our way through many of the restaurants. But I come back to this one time and time again. It's always packed, but the food arrives quickly, and the service is top-notch. It's still a 5 star in my books.

Expect to queue as this place is very popular & gets a bit busy! We booked the dim sum bottomless brunch which came with a glass of Prosecco (there is also beer, wine & soft drinks). Lots of dim sum options to suit everyones food needs & portions are good for sharing! They normally advise to finish eat dish before ordering more to avoid wasting/throwing away food. Reasonably priced! The only reason Im giving a 4 and not 5 is becus some of the staff are a bit off - very direct & not so friendly. I would still eat here but dont expect super professional & friendly staff!

Great food, particularly the dumplings and dim sum. Interesting decor, not your standard Chinatown fare. Strongly endorsed by my 9 year old too. Price included drinks (beer for adults and interesting juices for kids)
