They share their space with a Kung Fu Tea, and thanks to some awkward spacing on their current signage, I thought they were actually a dojo. Once I realised, I went in. This is not a restaurant but a food hall, and it feels like a cafeteria inside. It's a definite "get your food and go" kind of place: the fact that my "for here" order came packed to go helps emphasize that (and, PLEASE, can we consider the amount of single use plastic waste as a result of that? I don't need lids and such....) I ordered the tripe app and rainbow soup dumplings. The tripe was very good, with just a touch of spice. Americans might consider it a medium? The dumplings were surprisingly good and I would rank them with many other good dumpling places. Service was good. Food was delicious. Atmosphere and heavy plastic use leave a little to be desired.

Back then, it was a genuinely high-quality, legit spot for soup dumplings, but recently the standards have slipped noticeably. The overall food quality has definitely dropped off. With Nancianf opening up a location over at Columbia Mall, Dumpling District is in serious trouble--they are definitely going to lose our business, along with a lot of locals who remember how good the food used to be. Soup dumplings are supposed to be the main highlight of this restaurant, but the execution has really gone downhill lately. They seriously need to step up their game and bring back the original quality before people move on for good.

We went on a Sunday for lunch and was expected to be greeted with chaos (at least that was our experience at other dim sum places). They did have a lot of customers, but the "chaos" seemed to be a lot more organized. The dim sum carts seemed to be making more frequent rounds than what we were used to and the servers were locked in. We had a pretty large party and it felt like there was a never ending flow of food (and variety) the entire time. You do get the "typical" dim sum experience/ambiance of carts rolling around everywhere and servers asking you if you'd like to get anything, so it's a great experience to bring someone who hasn't had dim sum yet. Would totally recommend for parties of all sizes and we'll be back. They do advertise sushi, but can't speak too much on that because we stuck solely with dim sum that day.

I mustered up my energy and ignored the leg pain and told her I felt good enough to drive and will pick up our lunch for her. Now mind you, I have not driven in 3 months. After assuring her I was fine, I drive to the Hunan Legends and parked as close as I can. Heard some good things about this place. I ordered much too much for 2 people but we can eat for days as the portions were good size. It appears that today was a day of take out as I saw no one but did see a lot of pickup order. As soon as I walked in with the cans, the owner noticed right away and without hesitation, she told her husband (I assume because he obeyed right away) that I will need help. Now I really appreciated that thoughtfulness because I did not realize I ordered 2 large bags full of food. To step in to help without being asked is thoughtfulness personified. Now the food, we mostly enjoyed all of it. There were things that should have been eaten at the restaurant like the pu pu platter. I remember as a child we frequented a place in Towson that had a little burner that cane with the pu pu platter that was so delicious. This was not the same since it had gotten cold so not fair to judge the same. I also didn't order any of my favorites because I have sacrificial love like that so enjoyed her meal thoroughly. Overall, my wife enjoyed the fresh ingredients and overall taste. I also enjoyed the food but the hospitality and kindness stood out for me. Thank you Hunan Legend.

I went for lunch and first thing I noticed was I was the only one in the dining room. Second of all when I got the menu I noticed that every lunch special was at least $14.95 for lunch. I wasn't intending to spend $15 for lunch. I was hoping it was more like the $10-$12 range, but it wasn't. I had the triple delight Kung pow which I would say was average at best... Not a huge portion but sufficient. The chicken and shrimp weren't worth eating. The beef was particularly good. The rice tasted old that came with the meal and I didn't even eat it. The hot and sour soup was too spicy for me and I eat it all the time, although it was edible. I had to ask for a second glass of water from the waiter, which is ridiculous since I was the only one in there, and of course, it tastes like it was freshly dipped out of the bathroom sink. So I would say for the $20 I spent for lunch. It wasn't worth the trip.... Won't be going back.

About ten minutes later I got my food and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. I had asked for extra spices on the side which they remembered. The chicken itself was tender and not overcooked. There was also no lack of sauce and rice. Without the additional spices I'd say the dish is a 3/10 on the spice level. With the added spices I took it up to a 6. Overall it's a very fresh dish that feels very authentic. If you're looking for spice hit up the Thai place on the same block.
