  • P.S. Am not from Taiwan, never been there either, so can't say anything about authenticity!

  • I loved the food, the hot soy milk is spectacular and also fell in love with the waitress too! She looked like she belongs to a Manga! :) Fair priced too! I would even say cheap!

  • I must say, Leong's Legends Taiwanese food is nowhere near authentic. All the most essential taiwanese dishes that I have tried in their various locations - I couldn't finish. 3 cups chicken, tried in Golders Green store - If I wasn't told it's actually 3 cups chicken, I thought it was a very salty sweet and sour chicken. Ginger Chicken soup - impossible to recognise, not even remotely near what's it supposed to taste like. I can imagine neither the owners nor their chefs have ever tasted the real thing in Taiwan.

  • Used to eat here often, but with their various expansions, this place has gone downhill. The food quality is atrocious. My favorite dish (aromatic chillie lamb) has morphed into a stringy mutton inedible thing, worth only for the bin. Dim sums are full of water. Also recently they managed to give us completely wrong dishes, it was a takeaway so we were stuck with it. Try talking to them on the phone, not worth it. So dinner in ended up being pizzas instead, all the items from Leongs legend ended up in the rubbish bin. Don't waste your money. This place has lost all quality and effectiveness. There are loads of great eating places in London, try them instead!

  • Went there expecting good things. Waited for about 20 minutes (to be expected for a friday night). The food was average and service was perfunctory. We were brought the bill (which we didn't ask for) as soon as we finished our food but the real low came when we were asked to leave our table because there were people waiting to be seated-just rude. Definitely would never go back.

  • Ate there several weeks ago and thought it was excellent - good xaio yung baio, pork buns etc washed down with terrific Chinese tea. Get there before one on a Sunday lunch and you'll get a seat but may have to queue if later. A great find and nice service.

  • We went for lunch on Sunday and had an excellent meal. Enjoyed the xaio young bao, the pork buns and the Taiwanese kebab a lot washed down with Chinese tea, and a nice mango pudding. The service was perfectly fine and friendly and although when we arrived at just before 1 we easily got a table by the time we left there were long queues. Highly recommended and good value.
