Excellent in every way. One of our Ann Arbor Favorites. Excellent food and service. We always get special treatment when we come here.
Asian shame in my opinion.
Compulsory 18% tip + 3% credit card fee + refuse American Express payment + almost no service.
Food is just mediocre, thanks to the non-competitive environment of Ann Arbor.
Strongly not recommended.

I went with my girlfriend and we just wanted some water and somehow got schooled by the owner. If you want “service” you should definitely go to this restaurant. “Best service “ in Ann Arbor. Oh but if you are WHiTE, what I just said won’t apply to you. As the owner will treat you like a literal GOD and be your good servant. Oh there’s a 18% “service” fee.

I absolutely love Asian Legend. If you’re not familiar with Taiwanese food—it is probably the most comforting Asian style food to eat, with sweet and savory flavors that expand your pallet without being overpowering.
Asian Legend is an unassuming family owned establishment that prides itself on delicious food, fast service and quality.
Don’t mistake their directness for rudeness; the owners are lovely people and want to service you as quickly as possible.
As a beverage, you are given hot tea by default. If you want water, all you have to do is ask for it.
The best way to eat is family style—ordering two or so dishes per person.
For someone just getting started, I’d recommend the following:
• Minced Pork Over Rice (Lu Rou Fan)
• Seaweed dried tofu (bean curd)
• Taiwanese Rice Noodles w/ Minced Pork
• Taiwanese Cabbages with Garlic
• Onion pancake (Fried Scallion Pancake)
• Fried tofu with basil (also known as three cup tofu)
• Pepper Salt Chicken [so good, a must try]

Super yummy Taiwanese style food at Asian Legend! Staff are great knowing our favorite dishes !! When we made mistakes ordering wrong dishes the owners gave us the right dish ;-). Consider the staff are so busy they are very quick and speak direct which sometimes people don’t understand would took it as impolite ! But they do care if we are happy with our time there!!

I don’t live in Ann Arbor anymore but I still make it a point to stop by every time I visit. Their Taiwanese food is absolutely unmatched, if you want the real deal, this is the spot. Their Lou Ro Fan is one of my favorites in the whole world (and I live in NYC and visit Taiwan regularly), their scallion pancakes are crispy and delicious, and their basil tofu is to die for. If you want a truly authentic, Taiwanese experience that leave you feeling warm and full, this is the place to go!

This restaurant used to be good , but recent visits were a disappointment. Everything seemed to have the same brown, heavy sauce as the main flavoring. Hard to find pork in the pork dish. The soup was good. My suggestion: go elsewhere.
We went into the restaurant at 8 PM, and as soon as we sat down, the staff rushed us to order, saying the kitchen was about to close. Before we even finished eating, they were already urging us to pay the bill. In fact, when we left, the window still clearly showed “Open.” To make things worse, we found a piece of plastic in our noodles! When we called the owner over to take a look, the owner said, “It’s clean plastic” !OMG!

This is the best Chinese restaurant in town. It tastes authentic and the service is incredibly kind and fast! Amazing food. The place can be quiet but it can also be lively. I love coming here in the winter, it always gives the best comfort food.

Must try:
Smoked bacon and tofu (with cabbage)
Yogurt jelly milk tea
Food is decent in Ann Arbor standard. Service is TERRIBLE. Asking for 18% mandatory tips for that service is pure SHAMELESS
This is our go-to in town for family style Chinese food. They are fast and have very good food. Our kids love the bubble tea also. It's an easy walk when you're downtown. As a vegetarian, I had plenty of options.
Solid choice, decent prices. Ordered the eggplant tofu dish. Will return.
