We've ordered the Combo A for 2 and added some Siu Mai and Shrimp Dumplings and it was all great. The Wonton Soup was verry good with a bit of large Wonton balls and creamy soup.

I visited Neptune early in the morning around 9:30 AM, craving dim sum. When I arrived, there were…read more3 to 4 tables occupied. We ordered five dishes in total. The spicy squid was good, but quite pricey at $20, and that seemed to be the only size they offered, as it was listed on their dinner menu. Next, we tried the eggplant with shrimp; the shrimp were large, but the dish was lacking in flavor. The har gow were well-sized dumplings and steamed perfectly! My wife ordered the pea tips; they were cooked very well but also quite expensive. Finally, we had the pan-fried turnip cakes, which were okay but nothing special. Overall, I found the food to be quite pricey and would rate the experience 3 out of 5.

Their pastries are pretty good but nothing special. I had their wifey cookie and the pineapple bun…read more The wifey cookie/bun outer layer could be more flaky. The pineapple bun was not bad. I really like how big it was and it had a generous amount of the butter sweet flaky topping.

I was sooooo excited to try this place when I saw they had 3.2 stars on yelp! For those unfamiliar,…read morethere's an unspoken belief that if a Chinese restaurant has 3 stars on yelp, they have amazing food and substandard service. I am sad to report that this was somewhat the case. Yes, the service was substandard but the food was too :( The service was pretty typical for a Chinese restaurant. The servers are doing their jobs and don't care too much about pleasantries. My main gripe is that we all felt like the food was bland (apart from the fried string beans). We had also ordered chow mein with bokchoy and beef. They had typed in our order wrong and instead a beef brisket friedchow mein came out. We told them that the wrong order came out and they tried to convince us to keep it but it wasn't what we wanted! If you are familiar with Cantonese food, beef brisket has a VERY distinct taste. Eventually they agreed to take back the beef brisket chow mein and came out 2 minutes later with the chow mein we had originally ordered. I could taste the beef brisket sauce on it still. They had just removed the beef brisket from the noodles and replaced it with beef and bokchoy. In my opinion, they should've made us a new dish as this completely changed the taste of the dish. In terms of vibes, the restaurant looks like your typical Cantonese restaurant, the inside is a decent size. I think the clientele here leans more to the older side, not many young people seem to frequent here. Overall, I will not be coming back or ordering from here again :(

This place has been here since I was a kid. Glad to see it's still here and I'm visiting again…read moreafter 20+ years. All I remember was that I liked their hot and sour soup. Not really an authentic Szechuan restaurant. 30 years ago, most chinese cuisines were cooked by hong kongers or south chinese people. So, most of these dishes are going to be a southern take on it. Hot and sour soup - price is awesome. $11 enough for at least 6 bowls. Souo base is missing a bit of flavor but it is jam packed with ingredients. Drunken chicken - it was ok. Little on the salty side. Shanghainese pan fried pork buns - these were probably the worst I've had. Not made in house and not properly pan fried. No juice, super dry, no fried bottom crust. Bean curd wrapped pork dim sum - surprisingly this came out last. At least 20 min has passed. This is a steamed dish but it came out with dried edges like it was sitting on a dry heater. Taste was ok. Mapo tofu - asked for extra spicy and extra numbing. Numbing was there but nowhere near real szechuan numbing. Was not spicy at all. Sauce was more oily than saucey. The price point reflects the quality. Things are either mediocre or a complete miss. Would come again to try only the better stuff. Staff was friendly. Came to try to refill the tea way more times than normal. The iron goddess tea tastes much better than a lot of dim sum places elsewhere.

We've never had to make reservations and didn't know we could or should.

Im like what?! Stunned and not sure what to say. I said no one is here, we are, whats the problem? She said no, no,no can't, nope,cant reserved .... then she physically leaned around me and started speaking to the new person that came in the door. Like i never existed. Unbelievable to be treated like a piece of crap on the floor. Never have I been treated so bad and felt less than as a human being. Never ever will we go there ever again. And I will tell everyone i know how they treat people. Like i wasnt their race, their ideal customer. DISGUSTING behavior!!!!!

A little bit on the saltier side. Definitely a solid dish. Phoenix claws - the naming says it's their house special sauce which tasted different than normal spicy black bean sauce. Was not a fan. Salt and pepper deep fried squid tentacles - still delicious and portions still the same - smaller side. They don't have any discounts for early morning dimsum.

They bring a lot of sauces specific for each dish which is much appreciated. We've been going for years whenever we are in the area! It's currently my favorite dim sum spot!

I have been to Legend House several times in the past and it was decent, but it has gone down hill…read morerecently. I would say sometime after mid 2024 the quality has dropped significantly. The hot and sour soup was excessively sour, the fried rice cakes was too sweet and the Dan Dan noodles was excessively salty. The buns (Xiao Long Bao and san ji Bao) were okay but the wrapping was on the thick side. Furthermore, the ingredients don't taste fresh and dishes such as the Dan Dan noodles are missing key ingredients like cucumbers and carrots. Service is good, and there are robots as well. Price is cheap, but the taste is just not good.

For the good news: very generous portion of the thick and flavourful Sweet Corn & Chicken Soup; the wonderful surprise of biting into the dumplings and getting both the authentic taste of the pork filling and the burst of the well seasoned broth Shanghai "Xiao Long Bao" Soup Dumplings; the properly cooked with the right amount of garlic and spice Salt & Pepper Squid and; the ever reliable FR "Yang-Zhou" Style. Unfortunately, we didn't fare so well with the rest of our meal. I've always wanted to try the Dan-Dan Noodles and I even opted for the Blade-Sheared Noodles. The noodles were overdone and so soft and slimy. It also didn't help that the extremely oily peanut sauce tasted like melted store-bought peanut butter with a smattering of minced pork. It wasn't even spicy as described. We also ordered the ironically dry and plain Green Onion Beef with Black Pepper Sauce. Not sure if the sauce spilled or evaporated but the container was devoid of any liquid. If it wasn't for the wonderful baos, my revised rating would have been 2 stars. If we ever go back to Legend House, it's probably just for the dim sums otherwise I'll pass.

The black truffle siu mai and shrimp dumplings had plenty of filling and were seasoned wonderfully.

Definitely the perfect breakfast item.

One of the must visit stalls for me in this food court. Highly recommend…read more I always get the #14 Shanghai Style Deep-Fried Pork Buns (5 pieces). Freshly made on the spot. Big size and very delicious. I'd ask for extra dipping sauce (or the chill oil if you like spicy). These can get messy if you don't be careful. Take a small bite of the skin first and sip the soup inside before diving in. The soup is very hot, so I usually pour it onto a spoon and drink it from there. #13 is translated as "Steamed Mini Pork Buns" in English and Shanghai Xiaolongbao in Chinese on the menu, which is misleading. When I ordered it last time, it turned out to be the same buns as #14, just steamed instead of deep-fried. They're large and not mini at all like traditional XLB. Personally, I didn't enjoy them as much as the fried version and wouldn't order them again. They tend to stick together and aren't very to-go friendly. #14 is the star here, and it's absolutely worth coming back for.
