Legend of Taste

I love spicy food. Szechuan cuisine specializes in that, going for a mouth numbing spiciness. So I had to come here. The atmosphere is nice. They were playing country music, which I thought was funny. And the service is great. I got the lunch special, triple pepper chicken (as you see in the photo) with pork fried rice and wonton soup. The soup is perfect for a cold, winter day, and was absolutely delicious. The chicken, meanwhile, was nice and spicy (though I was expecting much spicier for 3 hot pepper emojis). Though, when I asked, they told me it was more "mild" — I gotta ask for spicier next time! But please get something milder if you can't handle spice — my spice tolerance is VERY high. Excellent food, excellent service, funny random country music. Five stars.

We’ve visited this restaurant well over a dozen times across the years, dining in regularly. It has also received Michelin recognition, which was part of what initially drew us in. Based on our most recent visit, while the food was not bad, it felt noticeably different from what we remembered from earlier visits. The flavors were more restrained, and the dishes lacked the boldness and depth that previously stood out. I wouldn’t say the food is poor — it’s still solid — but based on our past experiences, the dishes felt more moderate and less distinctive than before. Given its reputation and history, there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of flavor intensity.

A consistent and authentic Sichuan style in a local area. The lunch specials are tasty and their chef specials are also great. I recommend the braised fish filet in chili oil as well as the fried fish filet in with ginger peanuts. Great for takeout and always fast delivery!

I’ve ordered from Legends of Taste a few times and thought it was decent at first, but my last order of orange chicken was absolutely disgusting. The pieces were mostly fried crust with barely any chicken inside, and what little meat there was was dry, rubbery, and chewy like jerky. It was inedible ! The sauce tasted bitter and off, almost medicinal, and the broccoli was dull and lifeless, clearly cooked hours before. This meal made it clear they don’t care about quality. It felt like leftovers reheated and thrown together at the end of the night. After this experience, I’ll never go back — they lost me as a customer for good. It was so bad I threw the entire meal straight into the trash.

The flavors were delicious. We had a 9 course meal, catered as part of a group. The food just kept coming! The location is in a neighborhood and only a few tables inside. The staff was wonderful. I thought the group price was a bit steep at $150 each but other than that we were kept very full and had a great experience here.
