Leong's Legend in City of London, Westminster

Service was excellent and the food came out fast! The place was a shot in the dark at finding that one perfect place to fix my asian food cravings and I’m sooooo glad it was this place! Every single thing I ordered, was a 10/10!! I ordered the oyster pancakes (yumm), the XL pork XLB (yummm), and the spicy beef soup with white rice (yummmmm)!!

Absolutely amazing food! Beef noodle soup is to die for same as the xia long bao.Very fresh and high quality ingredients. My fav place in london

The food was very nice. We took variety of dishes

I love this restaurant, the food was amazing. The pork belly and prawn and garlic spring rolls were to die for. We ordered a mixture and all shared for lunch and it was perfect. Cant wait to go back already know what I'm chosing next time lol and taking more people for sure! 7 dishes AND drinks for £41 each is really good going too. Lovely staff which makes the visit even better.

Had the soup in a cold rainy day. Had it's charm...

The Chinese lady who takes our order is very knowledgeable! Overall, I was satisfied as it was delicious. - Beef noodle: The portion is very large. The noodles were cooked well and the broth was fully soaked, so it was delicious. It also has a lot of beef. Recommended! - Dongpo Pork: The portion is very large..22 Teacher Baek said that Dongpo Pork should fall apart when you just touch it with chopsticks, but that wasn't the case haha. However, the scent of the spices was just right, the ratio of meat to fat was just right, and it was very delicious. - Xiaolongbao (pork): Very juicy! It was a bit salty, but I enjoyed it. I wish they would just reduce the salt. - Hagau: It's not minced, but just whole shrimp, so it's delicious! The blood will be more chewy and delicious if you cook it a little less. - Chive hagau: The chive flavor is good, but I think it would be better to eat it if the chives are cut more finely :) - Crab pork dim sum: The flavor is incredible. This is the most delicious when eaten as a single item. However, the taste is so strong that I feel like I will get bitten if I eat a few pieces. - House red wine & white wine: Both wines have a strong sour taste and do not go well with dim sum.

We went here for the Timeout deal of £23.95 “bottomless” dim sum + drink, which is actually a max of 12 baskets. To be fair we were full after 9 baskets between us, so 12 is enough for most people. Booking with the voucher via email was very easy. However, seems like the staff have been instructed to not smile or be friendly. It was difficult to get their attention to order our food and when they did they seemed to be doing us a favour by taking our order. Food and bills were placed on the table in a rush and we had to guess which one’s which as they didn’t bother waiting to tell us what they were. The dimsum was nice, but not amazing. I’ve been to Chinatown for dim sum every other month and I doubt I will be coming back here.

Beef noodles are very salty and require water, but they are really delicious and the portion size is really large. There is also a lot of meat in it. If two people come, we recommend ordering different dishes (rice, fried noodles, etc.) and sharing them. The xiao long bao was delicious but mediocre. There are a lot of customers, so it's noisy and the staff are all busy. Chinatown itself is cost-effective and the taste is above average, so it seems like there are a lot of people at every store.

Really cozy atmosphere. We shared a classic hotpot with tom yum base and we also had a mixed dimsum set. Everything tasted great! Unfortunately they missed our order of dimsum so it came a bit late.

Dim sum and their specials are so sumptuous. I will definitely go back.

Dimsum is sooo good! And the atmosphere is nice! We are so full after 2 platters of dimsum and xiao long baos

I went out with 2 of my friends because we were craving for dimsum. We very much enjoyed it! Great food and great service! The place is very cosy too. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for delicious dimsum in chinatown.

We recently visited this restaurant for dim sum, taking advantage of an offer on First Out. The overall experience was nice and pleasant. The food was enjoyable, with the prawn Cheng fun standing out as a delicate and flavorful dish. The puffed Szechuan bao was also a highlight, offering a satisfying combination of textures and a mild kick of spice. The service was good—efficient and friendly, It was a nice choice for a casual meal, and we left feeling satisfied.

Super tasty asian food in a very cool area to walk around!

Very prompt service and all dishes were excellent

Fast service. You don't have to wait long, the food is served very quickly. The black truffle steamed buns are really delicious and juicy. The boneless chicken is also good. The portion of dandan noodles is really big. recommend

Service was typical chinese manner, however there seemed to be workers talking in group while working. Food was decent and atmosphere was okay

It’s ok. Maybe we ordered the wrong food or our fault for ordering the set meal but it was just alright. I will need to do more research what actual Taiwanese food because I feel like I am missing something from here. FOMO perhaps, hotel? Trivago.

Meals are always legendary! Friendly service too!

Great restaurant in the heart of Chinatown in London Very varied and delicious dishes, very friendly service

A tasty place run by a family. I recommend various dumplings. The place is not exclusive. It has its own atmosphere. Although the tables look unwashed.

Didn't get to try but please bear in mind that 12.5% service charge will be added to your bill.

We had a terrible dining experience at Leong's Legend. The Bottomless Dim Sum deal by Time Out was great, but the restaurant's food ordering process was a hassle. The service was poor, and they didn't honour the kids' discount for my cousin, claiming it was based on height rather than age (even though Time Out says otherwise). Despite the good food, the overall experience was awful. Beware if you have under 12s that are taller than 120cm or just under 4ft before booking for them, this is the benchmark they use according to one of the staff we spoke to there. Ridiculous.

Amazing!!! Lovely staff and super good food.

Characteristic place, generous dishes, friendly staff, excellent location

The food was tasty here, though the staff were pretty inattentive and the meal took a lot longer than I expected. I suppose when you've got so much foot traffic from Leicester Square you don't need to have incredible service. All the same, it left me a bit cold overall despite the food being decent.

We had the all-you-can-eat Dim Sum as advertised by Timeout; 36 dumplings later we can honestly say it’s worth it, especially if you have the appetite! Will come back 😎

Food poising and bad service. Would avoid.

I had a superb time at LL. We purchased the TimeOut voucher and there we couldn’t even finish all the food. The dim sum was all fresh, tasty and hot. The service was amazing and we weren’t rushed to leave. Well done LL

Absolutely fantastic. Food and service are some of the best I’ve had. You will not find better Dim Sum in London! A++++

A good place to stop in Chinatown, it is everything you expect it to be

Portions are large, food is steaming hot which is good and the service is mega quick. Love the dim sum and will go back.

All was good! Xiao long bao is the bestest!!

Brilliant food and brilliant service. Next time I am london, this is the place to go.

We did our bit of online search for the best Cantonese restaurant in China town, London and shortlisted this for a leisurely lunch. I must say this place did not disappoint at all. We had a chicken hot and sour soup with chicken dumpling (do call for their spicy sauce) along with a chilled sake and then had egg fried rice with an amazing leong’s style chicken cooked with beer for main course! Must visit if you are in the area and want to eat something spicy and authentic Cantonese

We stopped by here on a Saturday evening about 6pm, place was busy but we were able to get a table just walking in. Was given the choice to sit outside the front or in, we decided to sit in. Staff were friendly and helpful, food and drinks were brought out in a timely manner and food was very tasty. We had shredded crispy beef, egg fried rice & sweet & sour chicken. That was enough between 2 of us and some leftover. They can give you a box to take leftovers home which will cost 50p. I would definitely like to return here next time I’m in London.

Lovely, delicious food lots of choice

Highly recommended restaurant in China Town serving delicious, fresh Taiwanese cuisine. Food bursting with flavour. They had some enticing set menus however we stuck with a few of their signature and popular dishes. We had the following: Leong's Signature Pork Xiao-long-bao Pork & Prawn Wonton in Spicy Sauce 1/2 Crispy Aromatic Duck with Steamed Pancakes Leong's Slow-Braised Pork Belly with Soya Sauce

Disaster! The service is very unprofessional. We waited a very long time for our food which wasn't there after over an hour (it turned out that we had been forgotten). After not even an apology, we left. Never again!

Between 4, tried a range of classic and unusual dishes, including dim Sum. All excellent.

I came to leong legend on a busy Friday. Me and some friends got the bottomless dimsum. The service was really quick however the food wasn’t great I’ve had better dimsum. I found the dimsum very large and the dimsum skin very thick - probably to fill you up because we couldn’t get past round two of the bottomless brunch. Only the dimsum is bottomless the drink is not and you’re charged the same price whether you have alcohol or not. Most of the dimsum taste the same no distinct flavour profiles between the different varieties which is a shame. Definitely better places to go for dimsum.

We chose this restaurant among the many in Chinatown, all unknown, because it seemed easier to order with a menu with photos; the interior looked nice. We ordered the fried shrimp ravioli which was ok and the hotpot. We received a plate of rolled meat still frozen to be cooked, and a plate on which pieces of fish, prawns, fried stuff to be boiled (😳), and unidentifiable things had been placed in random order, one on top of the other. Not only was the sight sickening, the taste was horrible too. I think it's one of the worst meals I've ever had in my life. Not even in the US where I live they make such terrible food. The staff is Chinese and I can't say rude, but not too kind either. It's a shame, over a week in London this place will be remembered as the worst we ate at.

Amazing!! Was delicious!! Defiantly recommend! Staff are lovely too!! Lovely inside! I would recommend to a friend! Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely lovely!!

I would be willing to come back to try other dishes. I only had the mixed dimsum - 8 pieces of 4 different dimsums, I think they all had prawn in them. Apart from the prawn and chive filling, the rest were pretty tasteless. But it was almost closing time on a Sunday... So even that might not have been reflective of their food. The staff were nice though. Nothing special but they didn't do anything wrong.

The food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend! ☺️

Great food and service! Loved the buffet, especially the dimsums

Did the time out offer and food was great. Ate way too much left stuffed and happy.

Badly seasoned. But everything else was first class

Excellent restaurant, it tasted fantastic! Almost like in Taiwan. Absolute recommendation!

An unmissable corner of Chinatown, you are obliged to stop at this restaurant. It doesn't look much on the outside, but the terrace will satisfy you, and the interior, small but so atypical, the customers help you choose the dishes and the waiters are welcoming and attentive. The meal lived up to our expectations, super good and very generous. I highly recommend this restaurant, during a stroll in Chinatown you will not be disappointed.

Our family's favourite place to have lunch or dinner or brunch, in any seasons 😄 the food is consistently delicious..!

Worst staff and bad service. Staffs doesn't smile and roll their eyes when serving and being ask for service.

Absolutely stunning food! Amazing!

Amazing food and lovely staff !

Incredible food. Absolutely top notch. And given the location very affordable compared to the competition. Will defo return.

A delicious destination for dumplings! The service was 10/10 and the food was even better. I would recommend for anyone wanting yummy food in London.

Fantastic food!!! Service was great, would highly recommend!!

Booked time out deal and was able to get table for early dinner with not too long notice. Very quick response too. All the dumplings and buns we had were very tasty and at our table in no time after ordering.

A delicious destination for dumplings. The service was 10/10 and the food was incredible. I would recommend to anyone wanting yummy food in London.

Great service and excellent food! We are german tourists visiting London. We noticed the shop from the outside because of its beautiful interior and the hot pot. Once inside, we received a friendly welcome and detailed advice. The recommendations were delicious! Gladly again

Very nice place and foot. 100% recomended. Very good attention.

Great food and service. Visited on a Saturday night, We had set menu B. Portions were very generous - the sweet & sour pork was the highlight. Excellent value.

Had the bottomless dim sum and was absolutely delicious 🤤 no wait time for food and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend this place and come back here again

The dimsum were so lovely with a wide range of very different flavoured dish. Service was lovely. You can also tell food was freshly made every single time as well. Definitely recommend

Worst service in the world,waiter who stand outside so grumpy and rude

We came here for food while out for ladies night out. Its right at the heart of China Town. We loved the food, ambience and attentive service. Food is delicious, portion size is reasonable. Food worth mentioning aromatic crispy duck, pork belly, hot and sour soup, egg fried rice.

Food was excellent and very fresh. Portion size was quite full. Plum wine was the hit with the group. Lively ambience and the service was very attentive .

Really good food with generous portions. Quick service, reasonable prices. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

The staffs are so rude, poor, dismissive, bad behaved. The female staff threw the menu to my table rudely, i ordered the buffet sets for 2, when i tried to order, they didnt want to serve us, the food was served too long but we just have 90 minutes for the whole meal. When they brought the food, they put rudely to the table. This experience was truly disappointing. I never recommend dining at thií. The food was not fresh and smelled From the moment we walked in, the owner and staff greeted us with frowns and an overall unpleasant attitude. It was as if our presence was a bother to them. When it came time to order, the staff's demeanor did not improve. They were impatient and curt, making us feel uncomfortable throughout the entire process. The worst part came when the food finally arrived. Instead of placing our dishes on the table, the waiter practically threw them down, causing drinks to spill and food to scatter. The food itself was a huge disappointment. Not only were the prices exorbitantly high, but the quality was shockingly poor. The ingredients were far from fresh, and it was evident in both the taste and presentation of the dishes. Overall, this dining experience was abysmal. The rude and grumpy behavior of the owner and staff, combined with overpriced and subpar food, makes it a place I would strongly advise against visiting. Spend your hard-earned money elsewhere where both the service and food are worth it.

If you ask for the regular beef noodle to be spicier, the Taiwanese beef noodle tailored to Korean tastes is delicious.

I recently had the utter misfortune of visiting this Leongs Legend for their so-called "buffet." From the moment I walked in, the experience was an absolute nightmare. The waiter's attitude was atrocious, and the owner's demeanor was even worse. They treated me with such disdain that it was almost unbelievable. The food? Disgusting. The beef, fish, and shrimp were clearly not fresh. I should have walked out immediately, but I decided to give it a chance. Big mistake. I ended up with diarrhea that very night, thanks to their substandard and potentially unsafe food. The soup was beyond terrible – it tasted like dishwater. And despite the place being relatively clean, it did nothing to salvage the horrendous service and appalling food quality. The biggest letdown was the sheer rudeness and unprofessionalism of the staff. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. It's a disaster from start to finish.

🛑Avoid this shop🛑 Food never ready

Wonderful place for lovely food, service awesome ! Sure, we’ll come back.

The fried chicken dumplings and the corn and chicken soup are amazing. The personnel was bery helpful!

Delicious All-you-can-eat Dimsum for only £28.50. Great for hangouts without the burden of splitting the bills.

We went for all you can eat dim sum and it was amazing! Great services and atmosphere. Will come back soon :)

lovely place, lovely food and lovely staff! Can highly recommend! I tried their signature xiao long bao chicken and home made lemon ice tea. absolutely loved it and will eat there again next time I’m in London. Can highly recommend

Amazing food and service. Great options!

Wonderful restaurant! We went for the Dim Sum which was incredible! The service was so quick and the food was delicious. I had never had dim sum before so it was a really great first experience and such a nice way to try so many new foods. It they allow it I would definitely recommend sitting outside for it though because it can be quite hot in the summer. Must have: the turnip cake!

They lied about "Over 50% off" on their bottomless dumpling deal. Service was abhorrent with them stalling us out of time, we never even got to the promised third round. They were ready to scam us out of the bought vouchers due to no booking. Way too overpriced for food of expected quality.

Very good dim sum, our favourite are the one with the wet filing. Good portions on main meals and tasty.

really really good the food is actually authentic (as a chinese person) the beef and pork were juicy and the servers were really friendly. definitely coming here again, especially with the family. The outside is clean and tables were not too small, nobody bothers you and just all good things. must try if you’re in Chinatown

Great food with wonderful service! Our server offered fantastic recommendations and was very kind and social. I’d highly recommend stopping by while in China town.

Tourist trap alert!! The food to be blunt looked good but tasted VERY BAD. I have been to most Asian restaurants in London, and when I tell you the food was rotten, I am almost certain the kitchen is filthy. I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and you can taste the greasy fat and broth of the beef and not in a good way, I am certain the quality of meat is very cheap. The 3 way chicken, the sauce was good but the chicken was slimy and almost RAW. I don’t recommend unless you want the risk of salmonella. The chicken dimsum was atrocious, it was watery and there was no visible signs of chicken, it tasted like it was sitting out in the heat for days, it had a very tangy smell and tasted like rotten food. Just don’t bother with this establishment.

The meal was absolutely delicious. The staff were amazing. I came in right before closing and they took their time to accommodate me. 10/10

very good, straight forward chinese dimsum restaurant. very delicious black truffle pork xiao long bao. the fried prawn egg roll was dripping with oil. siu mai was delicious too. some of the seats were sticky, and it can be cramped when it gets busy.

We found this gem on a SoHo food Tour last year. My kids who are both super picky eaters love this place!! Food is amazing, staff couldn’t be more polite and it has amazing outdoor seating! We will be back again!!

Good place to eat. Very varied food

Leong’s Legend has become our go-to spot, and we’ve been there countless times. Every visit is exceptional! Our staple orders are the pork belly and the spicy beef soup—both are absolutely delicious and never disappoint. We keep bringing new friends to share the experience, and they always leave impressed. Today, we decided to try the hot pot for the first time, and it was outstanding. For just £29 per person, you get an incredible amount of food. The ability to choose two broths with different flavors adds a wonderful variety to the meal. The staff at Leong’s Legend are always attentive and super friendly, which enhances the dining experience. As regulars, we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fantastic food and excellent service. Don’t miss out on the hot pot deal—it’s a brilliant option!

Lovely food - we had Dim Sum and duck pancakes which were very tasty. Would recommend :)

The food was very good and there seemed to be a lot of locals among the guests, fewer tourists than in the surrounding restaurants. It was busy so service was a little slower when it came to paying, but overall a great location.

Noodle Oodle, Duck And Noodle very delicious like an special treat

Great food, a bit pricey, but the service is not the best

"All you can eat" subject to reluctant service

Tomyum mix hotpot tastes nice. If you would like to try the Dimsum buffet, you need to book a 1 day advance, but I can't remember the price.

Bottomless dimsum selection very limited compared to normal dimsum, mostly different types of frozen dumplings that are steamed or a few bao buns. With a few cheung funs and porridge in addition. Not much vegetable options or fresh food. Service normal and offer as is with service charge at the end. Overall I feel it isn’t worth the money due to limited choice with the selection not leaving you nourished. For slightly more money you can get much more choice and still be full. Could be worthwhile for someone who has never had dimsum to try some of the dumplings.

Super delicious and enough food Cheap and big bowl, a must try in chinatown They also sell Gua Bao and some Hong Kong snacks, but you can feel full just by eating noodles.

Good value for the all you can eat dimsum. Bit unfortunate you are limited to order a few dishes per certain time defeating the AYCE purpose.

We loved the food. All the dishes we tried were very well prepared and tasty. Repeating.

Incredible dinner at Leong's Legend! My son really wanted Dim Sum while in London, so we headed to Leong's Legend. All the food was really well crafted and delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. We were seated right away and our food came out quickly. We had several dim sum dishes (a few styles of pork bao, dumplings, scallion pancakes) as well as the slow braised pork belly and rice and some hot and sour soup. It was all delicious. We've already decided we have to stop by again before we end our trip.
