The Legend Seafood Restaurant Reviews

Very mad and dissapointed with their hour of operation! As being an out of towner I rely on the Internet for information, wasted my time going there to find out the place was locked with the sign still says it's "open" when I arrived at 8pm, called the place up a lady answered, I ask her why is the door locked if u guys,still open, then she pretended not to understand me it was so frustrating, It would of been my first time there, but now i will never step foot in there, I would not even rate this a one star!

ALWAYS, ALWAYS LOVE going here for Dim Sum!! Freshly made, delicious, hot and fun to watch the carts come around. Anticipation makes it more FUN!! Will definitely keep going back!!!

Expect waiting for a table and chaos trying to get things during rush hours,.

Passed a Sunday night, but no Dim sum, only a la carte. The public parking is located right in front, maximum 3 dollars to pay (no parking for the restaurant). The duck was excellent! We spent more in the day, to try the dim sum, it was not fluid enough, and fast. The quality of the meal was good for the price.

Weekdays aren't as busy. Did is inexpensive. Yummy dimsum!

Good selection of dim sum foods in a comfortable atmosphere!

Love the food! I try to go to Legends everytime I fly into Honolulu

Good place to have a party or family events. Affordable prices for good foods..

Noon Dim Sum during the week end to get the best and hotest dishes. Still good during the week, but thing are usually not coming out steaming hot ;)

One of the best in the island. Great assortment of choices. It's not high end nor low end. They occupy that space between Jade Dynasty and Tai Pan. Always my go to for sit down dim sum.

Celebrating the Chinese New Year...year of the Rat!! Went there for dim sum...

I loved the variety of dim sum available here. Service was friendly and not pushy, and the carts came around often. Very convenient parking in the lot in the Chinese Cultural Plaza.

I became a repeater! It's delicious and the shop is kind! It is cheap to say anything!

After all, dim sum is a legend,
The most delicious salmon
Timaki, shrimp dumpling, spare ribs,
Mango pudding etc.
The wagon service is delicious!
I recommend the downtown store

There is a special Japanese menu.
Speaking lobster here!
The lobster is super delicious and impressed with black pepper works! !
Moreover, he gave me a tea ball with a lemon which washes my hands, changed the dish frequently, the water was also attached and the service was very good.

I like lobster butter
(We will check the size by carrying the living thing to the table before eating )
Steamed wine
Seafood sauce soup with fried noodles
Mabo tofu

I ate!

Annin tofu has a handmade feeling and it is delicious!

Seafood Dinner for 10 fill us up and had left over for brown bag

Foods are really good!!! It's a dim sum restaurant that offers and serves the best Chinese food. Try it if you're looking for sumptuous food in Chinatown. Mahalo!

I used to go there a lot when I was at the Kuhio Street World Trade Center, but I've been there only once since I moved to Chinatown.

The area around the store is full of dogs and I didn't like Chinatown.

This is my dog, so I won't go anymore (laughs)

Dim Sum is relatively cheap and certainly delicious.

Since it is carried in a wagon, it is a mechanism to take whatever you like.

I was invited here for a wedding reception. The food and service was ok. Their duck and cake noodle was delicious. Also, their salt and pepper deep fried pork chop was amtrak's.

Delicious dim sum, much better than other dim sum places around Honolulu. The service was great, but you'll need to ask for water as it's not provided immediately.

It is kinder and tastier than other dim sum. I recommend it.

Generous serving of delicious Cantonese food. Responsive service. Very reasonable prices.

Dim sum awesome....with the cart Just like hongkong

Great variety of seafood of good quality. Very attentive service from staff. Recommended by a gringo!

Went on a Thursday for dim sum. Though the place was very full we did not have to wait for a table though I wouldn't have minded if we did since busy dim sum is good dim sum! The food was very fresh and delicious, on par with muy favorite dim sum spots on the mainland. The service was actually very good and the waitresses helped us find everything we wanted.

If you want the experience i.e. loudness, noise and excitement. I love it! A High traffic busy Chinese restaurant serving dim sum on carts.

The food came out quick. Service was good. No parking but street parking are available.

This has to be the cleanest Chinese restaurant I've been to, at least in Chinatown (Jade Dynasty probably wins the former).
The dim sum here is consistently good; I've been coming here for years. They have everything I like and it's not too pricey. Be on the look out for the things they bring out by themselves; these will often be fresh from the kitchen and piping hot! Speaking of hot, they also have a moving cart with a grill for freshly grilled vegetables, dumplings and look fun!
The service can be hit or miss depending on how busy they are, but it's never been outright bad, and some of the staff are quite friendly!
I'm not sure how to say this cleverly, but they validate parking.

The food was awesome and the place is big! They have round tables for 10+ people and the staff is quick to serve. I definitely will come back here!

It took three times asking to get water. Food was OK. This may be the best dim sum place on the island but is on the low end compared to dim sum on the mainland.

This place is pretty much run down. Food quality has dropped.

The food was bland. This used to be a top spot. Perhaps they switched chefs because their dinner selections are flavorless and uninteresting.

Go where the local Chinese people eat!!!

Wide variety of dim sum places available. Probably the best dim sum place in Chinatown.

If you are in town craving for dim sum, Jade in Alaska Moana would be the best bet.

You can enjoy Dim Sum / Dim sum. Aunts come around one after another in the wagon, so if you think about it, you won't come (laughs). You can enjoy it. Chinatown comes in the morning, buys fruits and vegetables at a busy market, and recommends lunch here early. There is Walmart where parking is done a little, so stop there and buy drinks and get out for free.

I really recommend this place! Amazing service and some of the most authentic Chinese I've had in a while!

Dim Sum-chan

One of the best dimsum restaurants in Hawaii. The only problem is that there are just way too much people that want to eat here.

come before 11:30 to avoid the busy hours or after 13:00

Excellent dim sum place in Honolulu. It has the feel of the dim sum places I've liked, a long line, a packed house, and carts filled with delicious things moving around the place. The food here is quality and some of the best in the state.

Cheap and delicious!
I will come back again and again.
Rice noodles of the back menu are delicious. You can take it home and have it at the hotel.
We are surprised at size of sesame dumpling!
Custard pie was the most delicious ever.
Chimaki was good too! I want to go back soon.

WAY overpriced for the mediocre quality of dishes. I've heard great things on their dim sum though-will try that next time!

Best dim sum in Hawaii. A bit of a wait, but well worth it. Shumai is fantastic. Many items to try. Recommend trying the custard tarts. The e-min with crab meat is delicious.

Amazing! I was in Oahu for 1 week so I had to make sure to try all the food. I used two of my meals up at this restaurant! That has to tell you how good the food is, and at a fantastic price! The whole, live crab was an incredible deal and all day dim sum!? What more could you want?! Tarro buns, mochi, and egg tarts are a must. Secret..make sure to ask for chili oil on the side and drizzle it on the mochi and tarro..TO DIE FOR! You won't be sorry. If I'm ever back to visit this will be my first stop.

Had to wait outside about 10 min the place was packed. But it worth it . The food was really good. Dim sum and duck was fresh. They walk around with food and offer you to pick , kinda like Brazilian steak house. Also you must try mango pudding my new favorite thing

Excellent delicious Chinese food! Amazing dim sum and great service!

A nice dim sum restaurant at Chinatown. Because of its popularity, it can get full house quite early. Expect some wait but the food is fresh, delicious and it is worth it.

Excellent dim sum--siu mai, har gao, baked char siu bao, egg custard, gin dui (sesame seed balls with bean filling), turnip cake, half moon scallop/spinach, among others. Closed Wednesdays. Go early, beat the crowd.

Best Chinese restaurant in China Town. This is where my parents (both Chinese from Hong Kong) go for yum-cha. Their dim sum and fried noodles are the best. Always crowded so prepare to wait a bit.

In my opinion, it is the best place for dim sum in Honolulu. However, the wait can be lengthy during lunch hours. Most dim sum can be ordered direct from the push-carts going around the restaurant. However, there are specialties that do not appear on the push-cart but you can order them directly with the wait staff. It would be good to go with someone who knows about the varieties of dim sum if you want to try dim sums that do not appear on the push-carts.

Good atmosphere, fresh seafood. It was interesting to observe open kitchen. But the personnel was not as polite as they should be.

I used to love this place a lot. Coming here was like taking a trip to Asia - everyone spoke Cantonese. It's still a decent place to enjoy dim sum, although the quality seems to have gone down over the years. Compared to other smaller dim sum restaurants, the preparation of the food and the flavors are just not quite spot-on.

Service has always been sub-par. I'm one of those who needs lots of chilli sauce with my dim sum. And for some reason, they're so stingy with the condiment.

The restaurant is also leaking water from the ceiling and air-conditioning, taking away from the experience of dining at a restaurant.

It's still the busiest dim sum restaurant and has the widest selection of all the dim sum places on O ahu. At peak times, there's always a long line to get seated.

Prices are moderate and parking is ample in the Chinese Cultural Center. Fun place to dine with family.

Delicious food and excellent customer service! Will definitely return and highly recommend to all the die hard dim sum fans out there!

Authentic Dim sum at great prices... Go early or be prepared to wait

Worst restaurant ive ever been to in Oahu. The waitress was very disrespectful by making us wait forever for are food and drinks. It was 7 of us and we were very hungr and we had to stay that way for a full hour!! We didnt even get are drinks until 30 minutes later. Also when the food came it was very cold. We requested to speak to a manager but he never came!! This place is horrible and doesnt even deserve one star.

Great dim sum food, awesome staff. A great place for friends and family to enjoy.
