    Singapore Noodles
    Mojdeh S.

    How I heard of this place: My mother-in-law asked us to stop by China Legend for a takeaway order of her favorite dish. Type of cuisine: Chinese fast food with an authentic flair. Ambiance: Set in a strip mall near Walmart, the establishment seems to cater more towards take-away pick-up orders, rather than in-house dining. A handful of tables and chairs are available at the walls on either side of the entry, though one table hosted a box of soy sauce packets, etc. Fluorescent lighting overhead, a counter with menu overhead leading back to a dark kitchen, the space doesn't come across as being anything that exciting. The service is friendly and quick. What I ordered: Singapore Noodles, which seemed to not exist on the menu. What I loved: The heat of the dish we ordered, the creaminess, the perfectly cooked vegetables and noodles. Why I loved it: The space is unassuming, but the service wonderfully friendly, the food great and the location easy. Cost: Average.

    Great food! My go-to meals are sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, and egg drop soup! Always delicious and ready 15 minutes after calling in the order. The place is primarily for to go orders but there are 4 small tables inside.

    Bourbon Chicken
    Mandi W.

    Really not good. Not sure why the reviews are as good as they are. I got chicken and mushrooms, my son got Bourbon Chicken, and my daughter got Wonton Soup. None of which was good. The chicken and mushrooms came with stringy, and gristly chicken, so much of it I had to spit out. My son's Bourbon chicken tasted like they poured a bunch of maple syrup on it and it was making him nauseated so he couldn't eat it. My daughter ate her soup, but the broth was bland and not much flavor at all. Service felt rushed, and the guy seemed annoyed because we were trying to decide what we wanted since we've never been here before. A gentleman came in and spoke to one of the ladies in the front and he was looking for some empathy since he said he's going into surgery on Monday, and the lady looked over him to speak to a lady who was sitting in the dining area. I felt so badly for him. The place is very small. 4 tables to seat 4 at each one. They keep the door open and it's humid, so it's not the best area to eat. With the fantastic reviews and coming here from the airport, I certainly expected better. What a shame.

    Chefs specials!

    I have seen China Legend on Yelp searches, and they have a higher rating than most other Chinese take out places. Since I was in the area today, I stopped by to see why. I found them easily in the Walmart shopping center on Gunn Hwy... and went in. They have some tables and chair for dining in, although they currently have them all shoved up against a wall due to pandemic. They also have a plexiglass pickup box at the counter to protect themselves and to protect their customers. System works well! A young lady took my order for the Lunch Special Sesame Chicken, and told me it would be ready in about ten minutes. Seven minutes later, I had my food. I did ask for chopsticks since they were not included... and received them without an issue. I also asked if they minded if I sat inside and ate, since I was on my motorcycle, and did not want to drive home to eat. She said sure, no problem! Very friendly and helpful. The Sesame Chicken was hot, crispy and very good... the pork fried rice included in the special was good also, and had more flavor than some of the other local places I have tried. The eggroll... YUM, it was one of the best eggrolls I have had in quite a while, really crisp, large, and loaded with tasty filling. The fortune cookie was crispy also... I have had stale ones from some of the other local places. China Legend is not the closest Chinese food to me, but I suspect I will be coming here more often... as it was definitely better! Highly recommended!

    Sorry....l no pics to post. As soon as we got home, we started eating. I will definitely post pics the next time for sure. Yes....there will be a next time. It's so important to have that "go to" Chinese spot. You always know what you are going to get. And you can always count on some great food. I enjoyed the General Taos Chicken with Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll. The Egg Roll was soooo good. I will be getting 2 next time. The chicken flavor was awesome. The spice was just right. When you can warm up Chinese food the next day and it still good, you know you have found a winner. It was so good for lunch. My husband is very picky when it comes to Chicken Wings. He enjoyed their wings. Was made he only got 1 order. Lol. He also had the Chicken Lo Mien extra spicy and it was really yummy. I enjoyed it also. Overall great food. They definitely take pride in the food they prepare. Check the, out the next time you are in the area.

    Yearly pilgrimage to Beijing House and it was as delicious as always…read more I put in the order at 12 pm online and it said it would be ready at 12:46 pm. They were right on the money, it was ready at 12:47 pm like magic. This time I got the spiced duck instead of the tea duck and I definitely prefer it. My younger son ate a ton so it's a must get. The beef and broccoli and the beef lo mein are both must gets. How do they make the beef so tender? We decided that although the sesame chicken is good, next year we'll try something else. It's fried chicken bites soaked in sauce. My husband liked the spring rolls and wonton soup. We bought an extra side of rice not realizing we'd get rice with the meat dishes so we ended with 3 cartons of rice. I tried the matcha oat milk slush. I love that it's topped with cheese foam. It would be ho hum without. It's on the sweeter side so I definitely need to be in the mood for a sweet drink if I get it again. Parking in the lot is plentiful. It was packed inside so on Christmas I definitely prefer to grab and go. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    Since my last visit, it seems that the service quality has decreased a lot…read more We arrived with my partner when the restaurant was pretty empty. However, we were not seated after 5 minutes of waiting. We ordered dumplings, Dan Dan noodles and pork. The waiting to receive each of them was extremely long. We waited 20 minutes for the dumplings, extra 20 minutes for the pork, and extra 20 minutes for the noodles. It was terrible. The waitress never check on us. When we asked why our order was taking so long, she said she was going to check, but she did not. She just went inside and looked at her phone. The food is still delicious, but the service is terrible.
