So not worth the calories. I ordered the legend pops (medium spicy) and was super disappointed. Not sure if it's an off day considering all these rave reviews. I was excited for flavorful, moist and crispy popcorn chicken. What I got was chicken that was dry and bland in the center. The outside is pretty crispy and hides the dryness. The spiciness on the outside of the chicken is super inconsistent. It's a good thing I got spicy or else the chicken would have been extra bland. Probably won't be back. read more

This place actually has really good fried food. I would give it a five but one time i ordered without spice and the popcorn chicken wasn't that good. MUST ADD SPICE!! My fav would be lemon chicken and the taiwanese sausage. sausage: quite pricey since it comes with only two but is fatty and flavored nicely. Pork blood: not quite like the ones i tasted in taiwan since it is fried. not much flavor unfortunately, but unique because it is hard to find in america. It's a little similar to sticky rice, no iron taste. Lemon chicken: Large sized, meat very juicy. the seasoning is really good and crispy just the way it's supposed to be Popcorn chicken: standard, can't go wrong but definitely add spice read more

Hidden in a small food court, Legend Chicken cooks up big flavor. They offer a variety of fried veggies, potato and meat but the star of the show is the Legend cutlet. Salt and pepper is the iconic Taiwanese seasoning on the chicken cutlet. First it is a massive portion for $10 and it is not over cooked still juicy and extra crispy. We also ordered tempura and that seemed to be on the stale side. read more

The only word to describe this place is...LEGENDARY! Seriously, this place is king. For those of you not familiar with Taiwanese fried popcorn chicken, it's pretty different from the US version. TW chicken is usually marinated/braised in a sweet, soy, five spice powder concoction and then coated in potato starch to be lightly fried. The chicken that comes out is CRUNCHY but not over-battered and JUICY but still tender. I recommend the Popcorn Chicken Bites with extra crispy garlic and bay leaf. You can get it spicy to add an extra kick. Make sure to eat it on the go with the pointy skewer for the true TW experience. You'll have a horde of drooling people following the hypnotic aroma in no time. While you're there, might as well grab some TW sausage and chicken gizzards too. You know what, just go ahead and order one of everything, it's that good. read more

Legend Chicken - Blood rice cakes - Chicken Wings Near Me - Flushing, New York

came here a few months ago for their legend chicken cutlet. this taiwanese fried chicken stall is in one of those narrow mall-esque structures housing several eateries that are all over downtown flushing. there is no seating but the mall itself is super clean and new-looking. there was a bit of a wait for my chicken, but the service was extremely nice. the chicken cutlet itself was a massive portion and deliciously seasoned. i've come to realize that i am not a huge taiwanese fried chicken connoisseur- i really enjoy it but am unable to distinguish between good and very good TFC - so can't say if it's a must try, but definitely a great snack option if you're in the area! read more

I am a fan! I like the freshness of their fried foods and every time I go into the store to walk to their stall, I just smell their popcorn chicken. I recommend eating their products within 30 minutes of buying because it just tastes so much better when things are hot and crunchy. I love their sweet potato fries. I love that they sprinkle plum powder on them which gives them this tart sweetness, which I love. The only thing is I feel like sometimes the spice might be a little overpowering, but go for mild and I think you'll be fine. Whenever I'm craving for some fried food, this is the place I want to go. read more

I ordered the legend pops and with a yelp check-in, I got bouncing curds. The legend pops are basically Taiwanese style small pieces of fried chicken. At first bite, they were not bad, but nothing amazing. After awhile however, the chicken started to taste dry and even drier, especially since there was no moisture in the chicken and no sauce. The chicken was also fried with basil and the basil was salty. The bouncing curds which are basically cubes of fried tofu, had different spices added to the outer coating. I personally don't really like tofu, but sometimes if cooked well enough, I'd enjoy a bite or two. This didn't happen here. If you would like somewhere to sit, you can sit all the way in the back or even upstairs free of charge. 3 stars because it was edible, but nothing amazing. read more

The service was impeccable! Super friendly and fast. The food is hot a spicy just like I wanted Definitely will be coming back for more

Honestly one of my new favorite chicken and fries places. They have so many different options for chicken preparation, as well as potato options. The spice levels could definitely stand to be a bit higher, the regular tasted more mild to me but it was delicious either way. The service is quick and polite, and they speak both Mandarin and English in case you're more comfortable with one or the other. read more

Felt this place was okay, but not great. The first time I tried to come here, they were out of chicken. How can a place that focuses on fried chicken be out of chicken? In any case, I came back a few weeks later to try it. The legend pops (what they call popcorn chicken) was okay, but the chicken itself was sort of dry. I did like that they fried some basil along with the chicken, which is the correct way to make Taiwanese popcorn chicken. So many places make it without the basil so it's nice to see a place that does it properly. If only the actual chicken was better. It seemed like the chicken was chicken breast. It would have been better had they used dark meat instead. It would have been juicier and had more flavor. We got an order of bouncing curds free for checking in on Yelp. It's essentially fried tofu. They were okay, but again, nothing special. I have no idea how this little food hall just suddenly came out of nowhere. Initially it was just Yi Fang, but then they opened up the back and now Legend Chicken, Flushing Ice Cream Factory, and a lobster roll place have all opened. read more

Turnip cakes (left) and legend (chicken) pops! They are temporarily closed until May 26 (according to @yelp), make sure you call before going. I would also recommend getting Yi Fang's brown sugar bubble tea in the front while you're at it Thoughts: They were both really good, especially the turnip cakes! The turnip cakes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it was mMm mMm good.The chicken had a nice unique basil flavor. read more

Legend Chicken really does live up to the hype - this is the best Taiwanese chicken EVER. We went out of our way to grab lunch here after reading other good reviews online, and I'm so glad we did. We had the Bouncing Curds, Legend Chicken, Legend Pops, and Spades - and loved all of it! The chef knows what he's doing when it comes to preparing the food, and the chicken he sources is high quality, halal meat. I visit Taiwan frequently and constantly look for food like this here in the states - it really was a taste of home for me. You aren't going to find authentic Taiwanese chicken anywhere else that is made with this much care and commitment to quality. My recommendation: Do yourself a favor and order the "Spades" - you won't be disappointed! read more

My friend brought me here about twice now and I've always gotten the same thing which is their Leg Cutlet. It's made to order so you need to wait about 15 minutes, but I promise you it's worth it. Because of this, it comes out piping hot which a delicious crunchy exterior seasoned perfectly and a super juicy and flavorful inside. I usually share this because it's a pretty big portion. Also make sure to wait a few minutes to let it cool down because like I said, it comes out piping hot! read more

Legend Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Flushing, New York

Located in amongst Flushing Ice Cream Factory and YiFang tea is this awesome little store that serves Taiwanese style fried chicken. Pricing is very suitable for the quality of food you're getting, we went with the popcorn chicken bites ($6 something for a box). The coating is a light, crispy crumb with cayenne pepper powder and light seasoning. The chicken (breast) was perfectly cooked and succulent, the initial crunch as you bite into it is quite audible. I only wish the chicken was a little spicier. They do have a range of other items they serve too. If you're feeling like dessert, you've got bubble tea and ice cream on either side. A new lobster roll stall can be found toward the rear of the building. There's few seating on the first floor but more on the second (up a flight of stairs). I can't say it's family friendly nor a place for large family gatherings, more so the kinda place that you get what you want and go. The hall connecting all the stalls gets super crowded with people lining up to order or waiting for their food too. Check out corner 28 food court across the road for some cheap eats if you're still peckish after visiting here :D read more

At the time of ordering I wasn't able to get the popcorn chicken, so I opted for the bouncing tofu which is just as legit. So good! Think tofu with that dry five spice seasoning of the Taiwanese chicken. All the orders are packaged in a brown cardboard box, but no need to worry about oil seeping out, the interior is lined so it won't happen. Comes with a few skewers to share (but honestly I think that I can knock this down on my own haha). Service was nice, apparently you can get a free order of bouncing tofu with an order of their legend chicken, but at the time I doubted my capability to finish everything. A huge menu is displayed in front, and there's a bunch of variety of snacks to choose from. Not much seating...it's a tiny place housed with the flushing ice cream factory, yi fang tea, and a lobster roll place (?). Long term I think a lot more people will come by and there won't be as many seats available in the future. Overall would recommend for a quick bite. If you're a tofu lover, definitely try the bouncing tofu! read more

This place is SO SO SO SO SO SO good! Hidden between Yi Fang (famous for their brown sugar tapioca milk drink) and Flushing Ice Cream Factory (famous for their ice cream aka the newest location of "Chinatown Ice Cream Factory" / "The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory"), you may walk past it at first. BUT STOP AND EAT HERE! Their Taiwanese popcorn chicken (legend pops) was super delicious. I also tried their fried taro cake and fried turnip cake (luo bo gao). Both were also fried to PERFECTION. I would 100% recommend getting any of the three things I got to eat and anything else on the menu. The staff there was also super friendly on a Sunday afternoon! I can't even describe how happy I am that this place exists, because it reminds me so much of Taiwan's fried food stands. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Flushing. @Owner, please consider opening up in Manhattan. I'd be there every weekend. read more

Service: Counter service Quantity: Good Cleanliness: Fair Food: Legend Pops, Blood Rice cake, Turnip cakes & Imperial Tofu Trying for a new lunch spot Legend Chicken-for Fried Food Lover! Legend Chicken reminded me of popular Taiwanese street fried food that I grew up with. I still remember mom's advice on why I can't have it...... It's located next to YiFeng tea in between of Chinatown ice cream and YiFeng tea shop. Very nice and friendly staff, but he was so busy working by himself during lunch time. A notice on the wall advises 10 min wait time. Unfortunately, the TV menu was not working, we had to look at the menu from our phone. My orders: Legend pops is a must-try item, perfectly seasoned and moist inside. Blood rice cake is not as common in other places so highly recommend! It can be a bit hard to chew for some people. Turnip cake is lightly coated with flour in small cubes soft and flavorful. Imperial Tofu is fried soft tofu with egg flour (I think). I suggested mild spicy for most ppl. Hint, I got that from my co-worker who doesn't eat spicy food. It was filling. Two orders should be sufficient for one person. I would like to see improvement in food preparation time with additional staff to assist during rush hours. Also, printed menus will be helpful if the TV menu is not working. read more

We got the legend pop which was their fried chicken bites. It was fried well, but lacked flavor. There was only seasoning on the outside so the chicken itself was pretty plain. If you use the yelp check in, you get a few pieces of bouncy curds (basically fried tofu) for free. I actually liked these better because they had a bit more flavor. Price is kinda expensive compared to other taiwanese fried chicken places in the area. However, its conveniently located near Yi Fang Fruit Tea. read more

Heard about the hype and had to check it out. First I must explain that I had a really loooooong day in the office so when the they were telling me that the items listed in the signage were unavailable that evening, it just did not sink into my sad, tired brain. A man, who I believed may have been the owner, was kind enough to explain to me maybe 3 times before I got it (thank you for being so patient!). I ended up ordering the Spicy Sausage and Legend Pops. My husband is a hard to please man when it comes to foods but he absolutely loved the spicy sausage. It had a really nice kick and flavor to it. Legend Pops had a nice crunch and seasoning. I have yet to try the other items on the menu but I will 100% be a returning customer here. Add Bonus: This place is located inside a "mini food court" along with Yi Fang Tea, Flushing Ice Cream Factory, and Lobster Roll Factory so you can pretty much order a full meal of varietal goodness. Overall 5 stars for service, location and food. This place will not disappoint. read more

Needed a snack before wifey got her haircut, so thanks to Yelp, found this lovely little place in an unassuming mini food hall. (!) WHAT WE GOT: Legend pops, which are the popcorn chicken and curly fries -- both with garlic add-ons, cause garlic is the best y'know? (!) HOW IT DID: The chicken was very good.... honestly was filling on its own! They note that it's made fresh and to expect a 10 minute wait. Ours came out slightly faster than that, but it's nice to know that there is care given to our food. We got medium spice and I don't know if I just can't handle spice anymore, but it had a nice tangy burn to them! (!) VIBES: Well, it's a tiny lil' food hall, and Legend Chicken has a nice lil' storefront. To enjoy your meal, there's a little bit of seating up the stairs with some seating at the base of it for those who can't climb up the stairs either. Overall, a fine choice if you're looking to snack around Downtown Flushing, Legend Chicken is a fine choice among the many, many, many spots around there. Still have yet to try more of said spots, but this is my default snack spot right now! read more

Soooo good. Definitely get the legend pop, chicken and gizzard. My favorite is the gizzard because I felt it had the best crunch and fried coating to meat ratio, but everything was really well fried and seasoned. The legend chicken is massive and could probably last some people 2 meals. I also tried the tater tots which were pretty standard, and the green beans, which weren't as fried as I was hoping (a little too crunchy and juicy inside for my liking, if that makes any sense). FYI it's just a little stand so there's no seating. I took my order to-go and brought it home to eat with rice! read more

Long time no see Yelp. Long time no see Legend Chicken. Hey its your boy just popping back in to let you know your favorite Taiwanese chicken place is back. So mask the *fuck* up and don't stand too close to the register unless you're placing a tip and wanna be seen. I know you know I know to get the "ji tui pai", which is the chicken leg jipai. I don't know what the English word for it is but I know you won't get popcorn chicken ever again. Perfectly breaded with just a bit of lip numbing spice covering tender, juicy dark meats. Say it with me. Ji tui pai. Now we're both honorary Taiwanophiles who only end sentences with "haw" or "la". On your way out you can even grab a nice cooling oolong tea from yifang. I would not recommend eating this meal more than 8 times a week though. read more

"Legend Chicken." , what an amazing name for a restaurant. As a PC gamer , I hear the phrase-"legend" a lot. In games like Hearthstone, League of Legends it means you are really good at the game. These guys know what they are doing with their chicken. Also if you see my past Yelp reviews I'm someone that often gives restaurants a 2/5 because they simply didn't taste good to me and were overhyped. The first bite I had of the Legend Pops , I kid you not, the first couple words that came out my mouth were, " what the fk", followed by "whoa". For 5.95 which is an amazing price by the way, my type of price. I wasn't expecting the quality of the chicken to be that good. I bit in, and the inside was hot soft tender and moist. I like that feeling. I was like whoa. The skin is crispy and flavorful so I finished the food quickly, the chicken wasn't bland or too salty. Just right... The only thing that prevented me from giving this place a 5/5 is the sauce/spice options. I'm not sure if they have more than one flavor of the pop chicken,(I should have asked) but if they do holy moly. The spice they used was good but towards the end of eating it, I got bored of the taste of the spice and I woulda preferred if maybe there was like half and half option like for example half of the original dry spice and half honey bbq or sweet chili. You know a balance of sweet and hot. If they do this I swear I will come back more and more in the future. Great job Legend Chicken you are legendary. read more

Came here to try the legend pops (popcorn chicken) but wasn't impressed. Even though they were prepared quickly and were very crispy, they weren't flavorful enough. Needs more salt and pepper and perhaps even garlic since I've had tasty Taiwanese popcorn chicken at other places where they coat it with thick pieces of minced garlic. I love the taste of basil leaves but even the ones that they add in here couldn't save the taste of the bland chicken. I wouldn't mind coming back to try their tofu though since I've heard those are tasty but it's a shame that their chicken is subpar, especially considering that it's their signature item. read more

Went there to order a bunch of chicken, sides, etc. for a bunch of people since the reviews seemed great...probably like $200 worth. Very disappointed, they were out of Legend Chicken!!! What??? A bunch of customers before and after me were in the same position...they probably lost $500 in business right at that moment...maybe thousands more as phone orders were coming in too that were not filled. Probably lost future customers too...me and my friends included. Sorry, can't say if food was good or bad. RESPONSE TO MGMT: it's a chicken place...you should not run out of chicken. You are not making hand made collectibles and trying to create a buzz with limited quantities. For a small business to lose out on so much business is confusing unless the owners are rich and just having fun. If this happens daily then you could be losing half a million dollars annually. Logically does not make sense as the customers are already committed and have cash in hand to be only turned away and be upset. GOOD LUCK. read more

Always a big fan of salty chicken and their curly fries. They shut down for a while during this pandemic. Now they are back on delivery app and in store pick up. I feel like price on delivery apps is slightly higher, and the portion seems less than last year. Hopefully when the pandemic is gone, their quality and quantity will be back to normal. read more

Wow! Didn't really know what to expect going in , but I was pleasantly surprised. Their chicken was juicy and flavorful and the green beans cook perfectly. read more

We were hesitant to check out this place initially because there's several other places have fried pop chicken. We find that the fried oil is fresh and the Legend pop is juicier and not overly dry. With little spice, it suite us but if you desire more heat, you can ask for it. The taro cake is my favor, but others might want more crisp on the side. The moist in the taro cake just as if you have it at Taiwan's night market. So it is the bounce bean curd. Finally, the Legend Chicken Leg, it is nicely marinated and deep crispy fried off the batter skin. Using the hand (they provided you the glove) to eat chicken is another experience. read more

Waited less than 10 mins for our order. The chicken was very crispy and, quite literally, piping hot. You can pick your spice level. We got mild and (maybe just sad spice tolerance) there was a massive kick thank god I asked how spicy "medium" was and the employee warned us that it was quite spicy. nonetheless, it was still good!

I ordered the Chicken Pops with the Bouncing Curds on the side for free via check in. The Chicken Pops weren't all that crispy but the chicken was still worryingly dry. The powder seasoning was the only saving grace, and even that wasn't very flavourful. The spiciness was most pronounced than flavor. I did appreciate the hint of basil in the dish, but it was just a few leaves that could not stand up to the blanket of seasoning powder. The Bouncing Curds were cubes of fried tofu that had a similar seasoning, but were equally dry and weren't too special in terms of texture and taste. I probably wouldn't get it if it hadn't been free. read more
