    Visited here twice. Once for dinner and once for dim sum. The dinner i had was okayish, but the dim sum was absolutely delicious. Must visit for dim sum here! The experience is also great, traditional style with the carts driving around and you can point and pick.

    Food: 5 Stars Service: 4.5 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 5 Stars Overall: 4.625 Stars My family and I, a total of ten people, had a truly unforgettable dining experience at Legend Seafood Restaurant during our visit to Honolulu, Hawaii. We were all eagerly awaiting our meal and were not disappointed with the outstanding cuisine that was served to us. Every dish was crafted with the utmost care and precision, showcasing the freshest and most flavourful seafood available. One dish that particularly stood out was the Peking duck, a delicacy originating from Beijing, China, that is renowned for its crispy skin and rich flavor. The dish is made by roasting a whole duck with traditional spices until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. It is usually served with thin pancakes, scallions, and a sweet bean sauce for wrapping. The Peking duck at Legend Seafood Restaurant was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and a juicy, flavorful interior. Each bite was a true delight, and we all left feeling thoroughly satisfied. At Legend Seafood Restaurant, the seafood offerings were just as remarkable as the signature Peking duck. The lobster and crab dishes were a standout, with succulent and juicy meat that was cooked to perfection. The flavours were expertly balanced, with a harmonious blend of spices and seasonings that elevated the taste to an unprecedented level. Another dish that stood out was the stir-fried veggies with sauteed whole scallops. Unlike other restaurants in Toronto, Legend Seafood Restaurant served the scallops whole, allowing for a more authentic and enjoyable dining experience. The scallops were cooked to a tender, juicy texture and the flavour was outstanding. The scallops were perfectly seasoned and very rich in flavour. In addition to the exceptional cuisine, the service at Legend Seafood Restaurant was truly extraordinary. The waitstaff was not only friendly but also highly attentive, constantly ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of memorable. They went above and beyond to make sure that our needs were met, and that we had a truly enjoyable evening. Whether it was filling up our drinks, offering recommendations, or simply chatting with us, the staff demonstrated a genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel at home. Overall, the service at Legend Seafood Restaurant was a standout aspect of our dining experience and truly elevated it to a new level. With such outstanding food and exceptional service, it’s no surprise that we will be revisiting Legend Seafood Restaurant on our next trip to Honolulu. We are already counting down the days until we can savour their delicious cuisine and experience their warm hospitality once again.

    Amazing! I was in Oahu for 1 week so I had to make sure to try all the food. I used two of my meals up at this restaurant! That has to tell you how good the food is, and at a fantastic price! The whole, live crab was an incredible deal and all day dim sum!? What more could you want?! Tarro buns, mochi, and egg tarts are a must. Secret..make sure to ask for chili oil on the side and drizzle it on the mochi and tarro..TO DIE FOR! You won't be sorry. If I'm ever back to visit this will be my first stop.

    It's a nice, clean restaurant. We tried several things for the experience. Some were good, some okay and some we didn't like but hey, we tried new things.

    Our go-to dim sum place. Great service and prices. They're constantly circling the floor with the carts, but be sure to ask for the dim sum menu because they only have the most popular items on them.

    Food was quite good, however, the service was below average. Not sure what the disconnect was but it seemed as if the dim sum servers were purposely refusing to speak english and acknowledge any of our requests, be it beverage service, ect. If you want an authentic chinese restaurant experience on many levels, I'd say this is your place.

    We found the dim sum establishment to be reasonably priced, however, it was highly disorganized and chaotic. The staff appeared visibly exhausted, possibly due to the influx of customers during a busy graduation weekend. While the food itself was delicious, the unsanitary condition of the restroom left us concerned about the overall cleanliness of the kitchen. Regrettably, it was one of the least enjoyable dining experiences we've had in terms of ambiance and relaxation.

    the food was amazing. We came in on a Tuesday and there was no waiting line and service was super quick too. We got the chicken feet, scallion wonton, shrimp wonton, red beans balls, taro root, shiumay, pork buns and couple of other things. Everything came in fresh! They also gave us a complimentary hot tea and ice water. There is parking garage with flat rate. It was an amazing experience.

    Got a table for 2 at 11:30 on a Sunday and didn't even have to wait! The food was tasty, plenty of tables and the staff were nice. We parked in the cultural center and we didn't have to pay (less than 1 hour stay). They also offer boxes for leftovers. Great choice for dim sum in Chinatown

    Was recommended to come here for Dim-Sum and I was not disappointed. I had the soup Dim-Sum with the red vinegar sauce and it was the best I've ever had. The ladies were so nice and hospitable even though I came in late and by myself.

    We had a wonderful night in Legend Seafood Restaurant with fantastic seafood and courteous waitress who offered to take a nice group photo for us. Obviously, the boss knew how to enhance the cheerful mood of a large party - she asked the kitchen to send us two big complimentary items!

  • 4/5 Judith B. 7 months ago on Google
    This restaurant has been a favorite of our family for generations. Love dim sum time and picking fresh items off the carts as the servers walk them around the aisles of tables. Flavorful and lots of variety. Could wish for more vegan items for latest eating trend, but understand that's not traditional. Noisy, crowded and busy when we went, but again, that's pretty traditional too. Wanted an almond float dish, but although asked twice, nothing showed up so we ended up leaving without it. Convenient paid parking garage which is nice since it's downtown Chinatown. Still go back often, but tempted to try newer dim sum places that have popped up given the question about ordering and getting requests.

    One of the most popular dim sum restaurants on Oʻahu and for good reason. Great food and lots of parking in the Chinese Cultural Plaza. Get the look fun, har gao, pork hash, and a variety of other dishes. So good. Enjoy! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

    Be prepared to have to get your own water and physically tap the dim sum cart pushers to get their attention. Don't expect politeness or respect either! But the food is excellent! One of the best dim sum on island! Lots of options, so something for everyone. From traditional to local style you'll love it!

    The ladies pushing their wagons are constantly asking if we're doing alright & if we'd love to try this or that? Many options to choose from! I rate this restaurant 5 out of 5 stars.

  • 5/5 QiaoQiao J. 1 year ago on Google
    Took my husband there for his first time Dim Sum experience. Picked this one because it has the carts and good reviews. Was not disappointed. You know it's authentic when it's packed with Chinese people. And yes we are loud and proud for the reviews who complained about that 🙄.

  • 5/5 Cee G. 2 years ago on Google
    Steamed fish( not in the photo) was the best part. A little pricey but the fish was huge and shareable. The appetizers satisfied my Asian food cravings. The best part about the restaurant is that they make the best mooncake in town!

  • 5/5 Shir S. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want an authentic dim sum experience, this is the place. Food is so good and the staff walks around with carts filled with goodness. I have been coming to this place over 12 years and it’s always spot on!

  • 5/5 Adam T. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here on two separate occasions on the same day once was in the morning for dim sum and the other was dinner for regular Chinese food. Dim Sum was cheap and delicious and was a pushcart unlike some of the other restaurants that we've been to here in Honolulu. Everything is recently priced for dim sum in the mornings. We went in additional time at night and the food pricing was reasonable as well. All in all is good Chinese restaurant located in the middle of Chinatown.

  • 5/5 william d. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting the way you get served. Server's walk around with hot trays on wheels so you can choose and see what you want to eat. Hot Tea with the meal. Chinese food..

  • 3/5 Jesus E. 3 years ago on Google
    Popular spot. Make a reservation. The food is pretty good. Might go back.

  • 1/5 邢Shiring 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered the peking whole duck from Uber eats deliver. Sent the wrong item (only 1/3 of a duck, and it’s not Peking duck). We called the restaurant and they insisted they “sent the right item” “it was supposed to be a half duck” despite what’s stated in our receipt and menu description. The stuff they sent is worth 15 dollars top but we paid 45. Very frustrating experience. Do not order from this place.
