    One of the other few halal spots in Flushing. The seasoning on the chicken is Chinese five-spice and a whole-lotta white pepper. This flavor profile was new to me and I really enjoyed it. We got the popcorn chicken in medium heat, I would argue it wasn't spicy at all for those who cannot handle heat. I wish there was a sauce to accompany the popcorn chicken as I found it exceptionally dry. Also got the breast cutlet to go. The cutlet was very oily and heavily breaded. You can choose either white or dark meat but it isn't clear on the menu. If I were to pick one, I would choose the popcorn chicken, as it is easier to eat.

    Ever since visiting Taiwan and having street food, specifically the chicken cutlet stalls, it's something I crave and can't readily find in the US. Saw Legend Chicken and immediately decided it was worth dodging all the massage ladies clearly seeking more than massages right outside. I got the leg cutlet because I like dark meat but the worker said the other cutlet is probably double the size and even though it's white meat is still really tender. Will have to try that the next time I'm in town but had my Taiwanese chicken cutlet craving satisfied here!

    Nothing bad persay but nothing special either. Chicken is good maybe a little on the pricey side but still tastes good. Service was quick but no seating as it's just a hole in the wall

    Hot Spicy Legend Chicken
    Carina H.

    The Spicy Hot Legend Chicken was more hot temperature-wise than it was spice-wise, which is rare and not a bad thing! You could see the heat coming off the chicken. Even wearing the plastic disposable gloves provided, my fingers felt the heat of the chicken. I would recommend using the wooden skewers. The chicken was juicy and tender. This is very much a grab-and-go spot, but there are some tables and chairs in the small dining hall.

    Glad they fix the menu with correct pricing, so no surprised up charging the chicken is very good as always. During the week there's lunch break at 2-3pm now. And closer on Wednesdays

    Legend chicken mild spicy with plum powder, legend pops Taiwanese style, broccoli, and green beans
    Farah M.

    Food was delicious. I loved the chicken. Even with mild spice level it was very spicy! So I recommend not getting it spicy at all. Instead get the plum powder. Also Taiwanese style was a little too garlicky for me but if you're a garlic fan go for it! The broccoli and green beans were also worth it! Service was normal. Not a lot of place to sit but thankfully was not crowded. It's definitely worth the trek to Flushing!

    Blood Rice Cakes

    Food stall with the stalls on the ground floor and a couple tables for seating in the back. The upstairs used to be seating as well, but is now employee only. They have a digital menu. Service was quick and friendly. The cashier said it would take 5-10 minutes and my order was ready in 5 minutes! Everything was packaged nicely in small containers with a couple skewers in each box. She put in napkins as well. I got the Legend Pops (popcorn chicken) with the hot level spicy. I was told it was very spicy, which was indeed very spicy! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although I enjoy the spiciness, I think this would be better enjoyed mild or medium. The spiciness kinda takes away from the chicken. I ended up brushing off the chili powder and flakes, which sucks because it's 50¢ extra for the hot level spicy. I was craving some Blood Rice Cakes, so I got those as well. I went with mild level spicy. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, though a little on the salty side. It has a good amount of white pepper too, so if you're not a fan of that, then this is not for you. Decent spot if you're looking to grab and go. I would order in person, as food apps jack up the price, and it's not much of a wait.

    Pretty massive cutlet. It had some nice spices on it but some parts of it were a bit dry.

    Leg cutlet
    Jenny W.

    Hands down love their Taiwanese fried chicken! I usually get the leg cutlet and it's cooked to perfection. It always comes out super juicy and crispy. It's located in a store with bunch of other food stalls. There are limited seats in the back for you to eat the food. Highly recommend!!

    This place is hidden in the small food court. If you see yaya tea in the front, you're in the right place. Got their legend chicken. The medium hot is SPICY. My spice tolerance is really high so trust me, if you can't handle your spice, tone down. Big portion for the price (I think $14 something ). Thick cut of chicken breast, it has bones, so be careful. Lots of other snack and rice dish too.

    Leg cutlet! They even give you gloves and napkins to eat it with haha very thoughtful

    Made it to legend chicken! I got the mild since I'm a wimp at spice. The leg cutlet seemed to be the thing to get. My leg cutlet was nicely breaded and was huge! I liked the taste but the seasoning was too white pepper for my taste. My best friend who loves pepper loved this chicken so I'm glad she was able to enjoy it when I couldn't eat it anymore haha. Interested to see what other flavors food they have :)

    Legend cutlet

    One of my go to spots whenever I'm in flushing. Their chicken was crispy and juicy. The meat is super tender and flavorful. For the size of the piece of chicken you get the price is extremely affordable.

    Sweet potato fries
    Mei C.

    Yum! one of the tastiest Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken I've had in a long time. Counter lady was really friendly and ordering process was simple and quick. Wait time for my order wasn't too long. One order of the chicken was packed full and piping hot; comes with wooden skewers. Chicken itself was seasoned pretty well, though it would be nice to have a variety of sauces rather than just ketchup. The sweet potato fries was good too; not too oily was fairly sweet. Overall, nice stall located within this narrow Flushing food-hall.

    I absolutely love this spot! I was looking for a Hong Kong style Cafe and I found this one through…read moreGoogle or Yelp. My favorite thing is definitely the string beans with the shrimp paste. It's a little spicy but it's the perfect flavor. I also really enjoy the pineapple bun with the butter and also of course the Hong Kong milk tea is amazing because it's super caffeinated and the condensed milk makes it really sweet. I love the cafe aesthetic. It's very new and clean with the neon lights.

    I've been to the Kong Sihk Tong location in Chinatown, so I wanted to see how the Flushing branch…read morewas. We ordered: Borscht Soup ($5.95) - This has been pretty solid in both the Flushing and Chinatown location. It's rich in flavor, and quite tart. I did find the beef to be a little tough though. Beef Chow Fun in Brown Sauce ($13.25) - This was a little salty, but beef was tender and you can taste the flavors/heat of the wok in this dish, which is nice. Curry Fish Fillet Over Rice ($10.25) - This was also on the salty side, but it pairs nicely with the mountain of rice. Lemon Tea ($4.25) - Solid HK Lemon Tea with a good combination of sugar and lemon. This location looks more modern but still keeps the essence of how chachatangs are like in Hong Kong. Overall, I think the portion sizes are good for the price and if you can't finish, I would definitely take leftovers home and add rice or extra noodles to make use of the sauces! If I'm craving HK comfort food, I'm happy to have a location that is close to me! Note: Its only cash or venmo here. There is one unisex bathroom.

Our usual order covers a lot of ground, and honestly, there hasn't been a miss yet. The Fresh Eye of Round Pho is comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want in a classic bowl. The Crispy Spring Rolls and Shrimp Summer Rolls are always fresh and perfectly done, while the Popcorn Chicken and Chicken on the Stick are addictive, well seasoned, and great for sharing or not. Their sandwiches deserve special recognition. The Grilled Pork, Grilled Chicken, and Grilled Shrimp Sandwiches are packed with flavor, well-balanced, and incredibly satisfying. The rice dishes are another highlight, especially the Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop on Rice and Grilled Lemongrass Chicken on Rice which is served with cucumber, tomato, and fish sauce on the side. Everything is fresh, fragrant, and hits that perfect savory note without being overwhelming. Most recently, I tried the vegetable fried rice, and it absolutely blew me away. It's savory and flavorful without feeling heavy, oily, or causing you to feel bloated, something that's surprisingly hard to find. Pho Grand delivers quality, variety, and consistency every single time. Whether you're craving pho, rice dishes, or something crispy and grilled, this spot never disappoints. Highly recommend.
