Leong's Legend in City of London, Westminster

We had a fantastic meal here. We shared the black pepper beef, aubergine and potato and a fried rice and all were pipping hot and served promptly. The staff were all really nice. Highly recommended...

We went for the dim sum buffet and it was SO good!! Definitely recommend, lots of variety and the food all tastes amazing especially the crystal prawns which we ordered multiple times.

A very nice experience in this restaurant. The service was excellent, the waitress was adorable and we ate very well!

Delicious food, there was a plum wine on the house from the friendly waitress, but overall it was very loud and the upper floor was a bit uncomfortable.

Good costumer service and great food. Will recommend.

Great food and very abundant. I would definitely go again

Great Taiwanese food and wonderful service. The 小籠包 (Xiao Long Bao) is a must have, would recommend.

Great Taiwanese food! Come here instead of Din Tai Fung!

We went to Leong's for the Time Out bottomless dimsum deal. There is endless choice of of dumplings and buns, steamed and grilled, veggie, meat fish. They arrived at our table very quickly. All were delicious. The deal came with a choice of any free drink. Beautiful restaurant and lovely ambience. Very kind servers. Absolutely recommend!

Amazing food and service, we got a voucher and booked in advance. Service was great, so friendly and food was delicious. can’t wait to visit again!

Really lovely meal- the food was amazing, lovely staff- will be coming again!

Excelente comida y buenos precios. Fue recomendado por mi joven de 19 años que estudia en Londres y no decepcionó. La comida llegó muy rápido y era encantador y sabroso. Me sorprendieron mucho las albóndigas de sopa, ya que no las había comido antes, ¡deliciosas! ¿Y cómo lograron hacer pastel de nabo tan sabroso? El servicio fue rápido a pesar de un restaurante muy lleno un sábado por la noche.

Shrimply amazing! Nothing else!

the food was absolutely amazing, the food came out so quickly and it was so easy to order. I’ve had my share of dim sum before and It’s really up there with great. everyone was really nice and accommodating. And I’m looking forward to the next time I come.

So amazing. We did the bottomless dumpling deal and tried everything, it was fabulous.

Excellent meal. Such good value and delicious. I haven’t had such good dim sum in a while. Every one was very friendly. I am full as it was all so good. We couldn’t stop ordering. Thank you for a great meal.

Leong’s Legend is a great restaurant. The dim sum is really lovely and good quality and the staff are really nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend that you come here if you’re looking for great dim sum in Chinatown.

Got taken here by a friend, the dim sum was delicious and plentiful. I will Def come back with my family

Came for an authentic experience! Everything was amazing!

la comida está muy rica y el personal es muy amable. tienen una carta súper extensa. podéis pedir que os hagan recomendaciones

I wish they had proper seating instead of low backless wooden stools! With the dim sum Timeout deals, you have to order the initial 6 dishes between 2 people simultaneously, which can result in some of the food getting cold if you do not rush eating.

Shoe hored us in when we had prebooked. The food was good, but my meal was late and wrong. Might of just caught them in a bad day.

worst experience. food was not great, rice was stale and burnt. staff was so rude not sure if it’s because we was black. THEN as we’re about to leave the staff insisted we paid service charge as if there was no option not too. deffo will report back to time out.

Honestly the food was authentic, tasty and memorable. We were there on Chinese new year and it was still very welcoming. We queued for a short time and then enjoyed our feast. We were greeted by the Chinese dragon dancers midway as part of the celebrations. Really recommend it. As it highlights their ability to still maintain great food even at the busiest periods. Enjoy the big noodle soup paired with lots of dim sums and bits you enjoy.

Absolutely delicious food. Lovely clean restaurant, the staff were friendly and very efficient. I would definitely recommend having a meal here.

We ate here recently and had the bottomless dim sum! Absolutely unbelievable value for money and a brilliant concept; 1st order x3 dishes, 2nd order x2 dishes & 3rd order x1 dish. Couldn’t even finished the 2nd order of food but it was so tasty! Would highly recommend the chicken/pork Xiao Long Bao’s, the Sichuan style pork buns & the stir fried chicken noodles! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was buzzing inside for a Wednesday night! We were so hungry I forgot to take photos but you won’t regret giving this place a visit if you’re in the area!

So glad we found this spot. It was magnificent. Waitress was helpful in picking items which catered to my food allergies. Food was tasty and plentiful.

We did the bottomless dim sum time out voucher. The service was excellent, food came out really quickly and everything was so hot, fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend!

Came with friends, mainly as one wanted dumplings. Had many dim sum steamed dumplings, noodles and other items. Left full and satisfied. Quality of food was very good. All wanted to come back and try more.

Been going for years and loved it. However they have now started asking for tips ON TOP OF THE SERVICE CHARGE when they hand you the card machine. Really gutting as I loved this place but that is overwhelmingly greedy and poor form.

Lovely ambience and service. The dumplings where amazing!!! Definitely recommend the spicy duck dumplings, so so tasty.

Ruins my day night!! Stomach started feeling funny 10 mins after leaving the restaurant. Then had severe diarrhoea soon after! The waters were cold, literally no service. And the music was loud. Not to mention I had stomach pain after

Very authentic Taiwanese street food, brought me back to my days in Taiwan. The oyster omelette was spot on, and glutinous rice with minced pork is a treat. If you don’t like beef noodle soup, try the stir fried beef noodle with sacha sauce. It’s the dry cousin version of the soup with more savory notes and chewy fried noodles. I will definitely come back again

The best place to get braised pork and soup dumplings. I keep coming back

We went here for my birthday and had an all you can eat voucher through Time Out. The staff were very warm and friendly and talked us through how to order and were happy to give recommendations. The food arrived promptly and was delicious! The atmosphere was really cute and cosy. I would highly recommend here and will definitely be going back!

Everything at Leong’s Legend was superb! Very friendly and helpful staff and amazing atmosphere! The food was quick and so delicious!! Definitely coming back!

Lovely food, warm atmosphere and food was brought out to us quick and hot! Staff were very friendly too!

Huge selection of dim sums. Friendly staff. Nice decor. It is a bit tight though.

Different style of Chinese dishes from the other standard touristy ones along the Chinatown strip. Dumplings, quick fried beef, noodles and fried rice were all delicious. A bit pricey but a better standard than other places nearby so worth it if within your budget.

Bustling and atmospheric and offering something different to the mainstream Cantonese fare. Delicious dumplings, rice fragrant with pandan, and great Taiwanese specialities.

pretty bad food, but most importantly the waiters were so rude and scammed us (charged us more than planned) AVOID THIS PLACE

I never went to a place where I recieved a service as despicable as I did when I made the mistake to go eat in this joke of a restaurant….

Great dumplings! Recommend booking in advance

The food was lovely and flavourful. The spring onion pancakes were really good. The waiting staff were friendly and very attentive.

My family and I had the £24 bottomless dim sum (available on Time Out) and really enjoyed it!! Each dish was delicious!! And you get to choose from more than 30 dim sum dishes, including lots of 🌿 vegetarian options so there’s a choice for everyone! 👫 The service was very good, especially considering that there were 10 of us ordering a feast with many courses and yelling in Italian any time a dish would come ahah

Came here for the TimeOut unlimited dimsum lunch offer on a Thursday afternoon. The space is quite cosy. Food is good quality and staff are polite. Would go again!

Extremely tasty food and really good service, for reasonable prices! Would definitely recommend

Booked via TimeOut for the bottomless dimsum with Prosecco. They actually have a whole drinks menu to choose your drink from so we opted for wine instead. Food was so tasty and fresh, highly recommend the spicy pork xiao long bao, the spicy duck dumplings and the crystal prawn dumplings. Service was ok. Items are brought out quickly, we didn’t feel rushed to leave either. I’d definitely recommend it with the timeout deal

Service was typical chinese manner, however there seemed to be workers talking in group while working. Food was decent with large noodle portions and atmosphere was pretty good

Incredibly average food, I found it to completely lack flavour. For the high prices I would have expected far better. I would recommend trying somewhere else.

Great service! Super good food - highly recommend the spicy prawn dim sum! Not expansive and amazing food

It was great food and very much in demand. The wait time to get in is too long.

Menu was falling apart, food all came at once, waiter was silent and clearly did not want to be there, beer didn't come but was charged for.....having said that, the lady who took the money sorted everything and took the service charge off with a smile and without a problem.

Really lovely food and great service. Would highly recommend their dim sum - lots of choice and wonderful flavour. Can’t wait to come again!

We had the Bottomless Dim Sum which was incredible and highly recommend you try this. The veggie long bao (soup dumplings) were my favourite. Staff are very friendly and we will be coming back!

The food was absolutely delicious (especially the dumplings) and the staff were so lovely and polite! Would definitely go back again!

These are the best dumplings I’ve eaten! So fresh and delicious! The service was amazing, the staff are so polite and friendly.I cannot recommend this place more. Will definately be back.

Lovely food and services so many different varieties to choose from..

We got the Timeout unlimited dim sum deal which was amazing value. The food quality was fantastic and service was great!

Amazing dimsum! Great location and price with the time out deal!

We went for the bottomless dim sum offer and it was great value. However there's limited choice for vegetarians.

Disgusting food and very dirty bathroom. Dramatic hygienic condition. Prices above average, poor service. Don't go!!

Their staff is rude and do not support your book-ins if you have bought their bottomless dim-sum deal from Time out. Total waste of time. Horrible service.

Great dim sum first time this Filipina had tried dim sum as they don’t have them in Philippines and she loved them. Well worth the 10 hour flight from Manila.

I came here as part of the ‘time out bottomless deal’ and all in all I think it’s worth it and would recommend it. The service was fast and pleasant. We did 3 rounds (3 plates each, 2 plates each, 1 plate each) and we were left stuffed! The food is nice but nothing amazing.

Amazing food and lovely staff who helped us throughout the order, we had a great experience totally recommend it!

Food is very flavorful and authentic. Service is fast. Highly recommended!

The food is amazing here!! Best restaurant in chinatown :)

Good Chinese Dim Sum in Chinatown.

Had a wonderful meal on the Time Out deal here. The service is very relaxed and the staff are friendly. Food is excellent and came out efficiently before we went to go and see a movie. Would come here again! Thank you!

Went early (around 5) after a matinee theatre show and got a table for 2 immediately. Got very busy by 6 with most people booked or having to wait in a long queue. We had set meal for 2 with soup and duck for starter and hot shared starter for 2. Really tasty and as others have said - dumplings are great!!

5 people ordered ‘all you can eat’ hot pot. We got one set of everything and we were told that we could order more after we finished the first set. We finished the first set within 40 mins and we ordered the second round. We were waiting 40mins for the next order and they said it’s time out. Staff on the second floor are terrible at their job. We got the first set twice as they made mistakes, another waiter took it away from our table after 5 mins and tried to blame us for double ordering which surely we couldn’t do it as the rule they set. We told them we don’t eat lamb, yet they still served lamb to the table. We ordered still water but it came in a big bottle and we had to wait for 30 mins to get a glass after asking a few times.

Food was great and we come here often but the christmas menu prices was way over priced 25 for a chow main 7.50 for a can of coke.

Reasonably priced, authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The waiter assigned to us was surly and clearly didn't want to be there. Booked there due to previous good experiences, sadly won't return.

Very cozy place, service was fast and correct. The food was excellent. We left the restaurant satisfied.

I didn't like the dish I ordered, but this is just my personal preference, meaning that the same dish may seem tasty to somebody else. However, that was not the most serious problem we faced there. We were not satisfied with the service at all. We asked to charge our mobile phones for just 10 minutes, but the lady who served us refused and spoke to us in the rudest and most inappropriate way. Moreover, it needs to be mentioned that one of our friends hadn't finished her meal yet, but the same lady gathered her dish without even asking her. That was by far our worst experience during our trip in England. Taking into consideration all the above-mentioned, I do not recommend this place.

Make sure you have a thick skin if you are planning to go. What would have been a 5 star review has become 2 stars because of the awful and degrading service we encountered today. The wait staff who served us today (a middle aged lady) would roll her eyes at us and put on a dark face for simple requests such as bowls for the table for congee, and water. Being East Asian I don't expect exemplary service at these restaurants but this lady was outright rude and made what should have been a happy reunion with some friends quite awkward. The food was really good for the Timeout deal. Too bad that doesn't make up for being treated with contempt.

OK so obviously as expected and as most Chinese restaurants go, you cannot expect 5 star service. But damn, I was waiting to be seated and told to wait, and another patron just barged in and asked to be seated without booking in advanced and was seated immediately. I was too tired to argue so I decided not to complain about it. I finally got seated about 10 mins later and ordered some dimsum and Roast Duck Ramen. The roast duck ramen was excellent and the serving size is generous. But I feel that the dimsum is just not as I expected. The skin is just too chewy, lots of chain dimsum restaurants in China or just anywhere in Asia can do a much better job than this. Overall I feel that this restaurant is best if you want to eat anything other than dimsum.

Leong's Legend is the best place l've been to in Chinatown! Their food is so flavourful, all of the flavour mized together into a savoury dish. The atmosphere is so nice, it really imitates the type of restaurant you'll find in Taiwan. The price is so worth it, so cheap for some food that blows one's mind away. Their menu have many options, each one so unique and delicious. The staff are so kind, welcoming and well-trained. For our family, Ellen was so nice to us, making us feel like the restaurant was our home. The smile that Ellen has makes the space feel so happy, despite the atrocious weather outside.Whenever we needed service, Ellen was always there to help. They gave us a free dessert, for us, which was the best dessert one can ever receive. The taste coated my tongue with it's flavour, and it introduced more food and nourishment to my palate. Will definitely reccomend this place to others, and will be back soon! -俊萊

Speaking as someone born chinese in the southeast asian region, I wouldn’t say this is the best dimsum restaurant in London. Dimsum was meh, both for the taste and texture (siew mai and har gao) (3.0 star) The duck ramen noodle was good.m (3.5 star). The queuing system was poorly managed. We were cut in line by two ladies behind us (and no, they didn’t have any reserved spots inside as they had been waiting with us the entire time), despite the usher telling us we would be called next.

terrible welcome, I recommend if you want to be treated like cattle.

Extremely good food, loved the Taiwanese differences to typical cantonese/chinese Very light, not overly sugared or salted / MSG etc. Genuinely interesting dishes I'd never seen before like the Oyster Omelette, which was very nice. Can always tell a great restaurant when on the menu it all sounds delicious. Friendly staff. Accommodated us well.with 2 small children. No fuss / simple interior, but has its own charm, bustling. We actually walked out of Golden Pheonix across the road as was really not impressed when sat down (large, depressing atmosphere / staff and food on menu expensive but unappealing). Very glad we did, as across the road was this little gem. Marked service down to 4 as waitress told me the listed optional service charge was not in the final total, so we tipped on top. Putting maths skills to test afterwards and realised at worst I'd been lied to, at best a misunderstanding. I asked for the additional tip to be refunded. Shame, as I was probably about to add some extra Xmas tip. Food though was really good and will give benefit of doubt on the service charge "confusion". Thoroughly recommend for inventive, imaginative, flavourful asian cuisine. Also huge portion sizes, so leave with doggy bag or share plates.

Got the Timeout deal which gives you £24 for all you can eat dim sum which is a great deal and really allows you to take full advantage of the variety of the menu. They have a number of really nice dumplings, with a variety of fillings to suit most culinary preferences, however most are pork heavy so just be wary if you can't eat pork. The best dish was the Shrimp Puff which unanimously was voted the favourite in my group and was the only one we ordered in every round! Staff were attentive, explained the menu and were very prompt with reorders. Would definitely return again in future

We had a bottomless dim sum brunch, the food is delicious and fresh. We tried many dishes and all are very good. The service is wonderful and the staffs are very nice. Highly recommend the dumplings and sui mai, we ordered twice. Definitely will come back!

The food is delicious and authentic, the service is friendly, and the price is reasonable. The black truffle shrimp dumplings and garlic shrimp rolls are very special and delicious. The custard buns really have authentic fillings. I will definitely come again.

Busy but good service and food. Duck was good!

Wow wow wow!! Absolutely fantastic! The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was just perfect! It was my first experience eating Chinese Food in Chinatown and I was blown away! I’d highly recommend the Pork Soup Buns and a quarter duck - this for two people for a lunch was the perfect amount! I have a milk allergy and they bought all of the items out for me to check the ingredients etc for all of our meals we had requested, so thank you again for making me feel so at ease, when eating here too! Thank you to all of the team at Leongs Legend - I’m over the moon and can’t wait to return😍🤩👏

We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant in the heart of London Chinatown. Service was quick and efficient. The portions of traditional dishes like beef noodle soup were impressive and price is readable. Food was tasty and fresh. Highly recommended!

Good and very fast, the three chili peppers on the menu are truly a survival challenge

I kept being reminded that I had to finish my meal about 6-7 times. When I ordered the food for the second time, I was told that our chef would take a break for another 30 minutes! Want us to order some! When we ordered, we kept saying that we must finish it! The experience is uncomfortable! When I finally asked him for change, his attitude became extremely bad. Food is fresh but dining experience is not good

Amazing dumplings, fast service and friendly staff - incredible place I highly recommend!

Pretty good food in general! Nice waiters. The tip is already on the ticket.

Amazing dumplings, wontons, and dim sum. The service was great- very attentive and fast. Atmosphere was very authentic.

It was absolutely incredible everything was super good thank you again

Try it and see. You'll love it!

Really helpful, responsive and friendly staff! I had to change my reservation due to friends falling sick etc but they were really nice about it. We used the TIMEOUT dim sum buffet voucher- really good spread and I enjoyed the food thoroughly! Cant get such a good deal anywhere else in London. One thing I would avoid though is the black truffle- tasted slightly off/artificial

Ridiculous service. Never seen before. 12% of the bill goes as remuneration for NIL service. Between a waiter who coughs on you, and one who doesn't look at you and cleans the table in front of you to kick you out, I would have preferred to keep this money.

I have been to this restaurant twice on two different occasions. The dim sum are very good and quite varied. The menu is huge but the quality is top! The duck is great.

Been there multiple times and they never disappoint. Everything I have tried has been just Amazing. You will realise its popularity from the queuing outside during peak hours. But they have large seating space so you do not wait too long either.

Shit on fire the next day, avoid the Sichuan broth
