About Beijing Legend

Beijing Legend is a restaurant that offers good and fast Dim Sum, although they have moved away from traditional cart service to a paper-ordering system. The restaurant's accessibility is somewhat limited, with tight washroom doors that may pose challenges for wheelchair users. The decor has been appreciated by visitors, creating a pleasant atmosphere despite its slightly dated look.

The restaurant's history has been a point of contention, but the quality of the traditional Chinese dishes has improved recently. Customers should avoid the Canadian-Chinese offerings and instead focus on the in-house-made Dim Sum, which are larger and more flavorful than pre-made options found elsewhere. The noodle soup and stir-fried noodle portions are generous, often enough for two meals. Some dishes, like the spring rolls and deep-fried crab claw, have received praise for being amazing and savory, leading to satisfied, stuffed diners.

Service has improved, with quick delivery of hot food and friendly staff, including helpful recommendations from servers. The restaurant is easy to find, with lots of parking available, and offers a great meal for under $20 per person. Vegetarian and pescatarian options are available, but it’s advised to ask about hidden meat ingredients in some dishes. However, some guests with gluten restrictions found the stir-fry tasteless and noted that it arrived late, highlighting the challenge of accommodating dietary needs while maintaining the quality of the dishes.
