| About: | Due to a large Chinese population, the food in Chinatown restaurants is both authentic and delicious. This Chinatown restaurant is one of the best Dim Sum places in the islands. You can feast on all manner of seafood and meat dishes at reasonable prices. A recommendation for dinner: Seafood with Shiitake Mushrooms and Scallops. This place is brightly lit with Cantonese-style decor; animated Chinese conversations resound from just about every table. |

sept 06.09,my first time to Legend for dim sum, the services is good
the food is also great, I will be back.I have eaten all over NA, so
it is not bad at all.
Just went back after a ten year lapse and found the dim sum as tasteless as it was when the restaurant first opened. The teapot was was already on the table and the tea was just warm (as probably were the rest which were sitting already filled). The fried taro was greasy and contained very little filling and was room temperature. As for the steaming offerings they too were not hot except for the chicken feet. While I advocate the use of less salt, Legends could afford to beef up the flavors. The number of offerings is limited and ordinary-nothing more than the usual-and much less than smaller, less pricey close by dim sum restaurants. It is sad when expectations and prices are both high to be so sorely disappointed. I will not return ever again.
Ask any real chinese in Hawaii where to go for dim sum and they'll say go to Legends. Try their spare ribs and cold cut pig feet(trust me this one is good if you didn't know what it was). The usual things are also good too.
