The Legend Cafe House 雅谷

the food was good and staff were rlly nice, however the vibes are very busy and the place is always crowded with people wanting a table. the environment feels very rushed and loud so if you want a table, it’s best to go as early as you can to try and find a table !

Good Hong Kong cafe. Food is good. Service is good. Staff may not be too attentive so you have to flag them down. French toast is good. Curry beef brisket was ok. Lots of chewy bits.

They have two locations, and I placed an order through Fantuan. The order was directed to this location, and upon contacting them to request a refund, my request was denied. This business practice is unacceptable, especially given that the picture clearly indicated the 86th Street location.

Love this spot! One of my favorite hk style milk tea! Very close to the ones in hk! Their foods are very consistent and never fails. Love their baked style spaghetti always my go to. Can never skip their appetizers options as well. Their portions are also very decent-big. The staff are all super friendly! Highly recommend!

First time trying their Baked Chicken with Rice — the tomato sauce had no sweetness or tanginess at all. It just tasted salty and bland. The service is also bad, this is also the first time I ever heard they can't make any adjustment on the premade sauce when my only request is to just simply put some sugar on it.

This is a great spot for classic Hong Kong-style food, and it's cheap too! I was so happy to find this place. I ordered the Canto-style pork chop with two eggs and rice, and it was absolutely delicious, the pork chop was tender and flavorful, and the whole dish was so comforting. I also tried the pork ribs rice, which was another winner. And of course, I had to get the HK milk tea, which was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced.
What really stood out was the amazing value for the money. You get generous portions of quality, authentic food without breaking the bank. If you're a fan of Hong Kong cuisine or just want to try something delicious and affordable, I highly recommend this place.

Good food, and services Restaurant 👍

The food offers a reasonable value, making it an appealing option for many. The wonton, in particular, is a standout item that is worth trying. Its delicious flavor and texture truly elevate the dining experience. You'll likely find yourself craving this dish after the first bite. Overall, it's a satisfying and enjoyable meal.

great place to grab hongkong style cafe food! It’s affordable and the portion sizes are pretty decent. the Portuguese chicken was really filling and highly recommended the toast! the fried rice was a little bit on the bland side but it was still good! the red bean ice drink was decent, i was expecting it to be sweetened with condensed milk so the ice part was bland but the red beans were already sweet when mixed together. the atmosphere itself was relatively relaxing! it’s crowded during lunch hours so maybe coming here to have a late lunch would be better!

Friendly and good service, I order black pepper sauce chicken on rice, the taste and seasoning is on point. Their iced Hong Kong style tea is delicious, and don't forget to order their french toast. Limited seating. Update for May 3, ordered an omelette, egg is over cooked, chicken is bland with no seasoning, there is a lot of room for improvement.

My family and friends came for a birthday dinner on Friday night. My husband and my friend ordered the prix fixe T bone steak and asked for it rare, with the Borscht soup, lemon tea. When the borscht soup came, my husband and I noticed right away a hair on the edge of the soup line. We brought it to the waitresse's attention and she took it back. He chose not to get another soup. It was a big turnoff ( We didn't take a picture of that but when it happened a second time on the corn soup, I decided to take a picture.) While we were waiting for the main courses, our appetizers and side dishes came. The chicken wings and calamari portions were small, granted they were appetizers. However, the quality of the food did not match its price point and its small portion. About 5-10 minutes into our waiting, a different waitress comes to the table to ask us if we're sure we want the steaks rare. We thought it was odd, but of course the answer was yes.

My son got the oxtail, it was mostly bones ( picture included). The curry sauce was lukewarm. I got the lamb with bean curd, no flavor and microwaved not long enough. It was hot outside and cold inside.

Then finally comes the steaks. They were cooked medium well. We immediately brought it to the attention of another waitress who went to the back and never came back. 5 minutes later, we raised our hands to signal another waitress and mentioned to her that the steak wasn't cooked rare. She then went to the back and then 5 minutes later, a manager came to the table. He's a bit standoffish and starts to get flustered about the steak's doneness. He said the kitchen has been busy and the steak was probably cooked rare but during the process of getting it to our table because they are so busy, the steak became medium done because it sat on the warming plate too long. So, we are wondering how is this our problem? Especially, when the waitress made an effort to come out and made sure we had requested something rare ?. The male manager became so frustrated he said, " comp his dish, oh forget it, comp the whole dinner. ) and walked away.

10 minutes later, the male manager comes back. He apologized and said it's slow down now, I can talk to you. He offered another steak but at that time, we were all about to be finished with our food.

The waitress who asked about the rare steak came out also and apologized profusely. Once again, their excuse is that they were busy. When we finally got our check, she made it a point to point out that the drinks were on them, all 3 drinks. By the way, most of our drinks were included in the pre fix dinner. In addition, we left 20% tip even though the service was mediocre. Needless to say, my dining experience is now ruined. We are definitely not going back and we don't recommend this place to anyone.

I came for a birthday dinner. It didn't look too busy for a Friday night. Ordered the prix frixe T bone steak and asked for it to be rare, Borscht soup, lemon tea. When the borsht soup came, I noticed right away a hair on the edge of the soup line and it looked like it was a considerably smaller portion than another partygoer's soup. I bought it to the waitresses attention and she took it back. I chose not to get another soup. It was a big turnoff. About 5-10 minutes later another waitress comes to the table to ask us if we're sure we want the steaks rare. Strange question but of course answer was yes. Out comes the steaks. They were cooked medium well. We immediately bought it to their attention. The waitress went to the back and then no one came back to address the issue. We got another waitresses attention and mentioned to her the steak wasn't cooked rare. She takes off to the back. Finally a manager comes to the table. He's a bit standoffish and gets flustered speaking to us about the steak's doneness. Needless to say, my dining experience is now ruined.

I'm not coming back.
