Corner restuarant with convenient (metered) parking up front and parking on the side neighborhood streets. One of my favorite szechuan places to eat at as the food and portions are both incredible. The place is typically empty in my experience so dining is quiet, fairly private, and enjoyable; seems to be the favorite for neighborhod takeout. Servers are attentive and food comes out quick. Their dry fried string bean and szechuan chicken are my go to. Always one of the spots to consider when planning dinner with frienda.

Really authentic Szechuan food. Had spicy pork dumplings and chicken Chongqing both hot, spicy and great. My wife had prawns that were great. Will absolutely be back.

Great place for chinese food. Wow!!. Very tasty and delicious food. Also, they will give you a good amount of food. In fact, the look and presentation of the dishes were amazing. The ambiance are good and very Good service. I will definately recommend others. I am from CT and I will drive 80 miles to eat this amazing food. We have arranged a birthday party there. And all people were enjoyed, happy and totally satisfied. Great!!!

Certain dishes here are really out of the world. Just order from the restaurant recommended/specials. For example the Mapo tofu is probably the top 3 I ever had in my life. Can't say the same for the non specials.

Our favorite Sichuan restaurant in NYC. They are always consistent and their food is so flavorful and fresh. We are never disappointed. We drive all the way over from Williamsburg to treat ourselves. It is definitely a destination for us. Thank you Legends of taste! Long may you run.

During the pandemic, we started ordering food to satisfy our hunger. It has now become our favorite place to enjoy delicious dinners. However, be warned that the food is so tempting that you might want more.

I still dream about the spicy peanuts from this place!! Really excellent food and nice to sit by the windows. Edit 2022: Been going here frequently and it never disappoints! Everything in the menu is delicious and the servers are so nice. Love you, Legend of Taste!

Wherever you are in the city, it’s worth the trip to Legend of Taste for fantastically spicy food with authentic Sichuan flavors. Start with the salads like the black fungus and cucumber and also order the fried eggplant, the ma po tofu, the amazing tea smoked duck, lamb w/ cumin, Dan Dan noodle, etc. The menu is packed with amazing dishes.

Dan The Grip

This has become one of my two favorite Sichuan spots in the boros. It’s in the middle of nowhere and I’ve eaten here three times. I’ve order three different dishes each time and I have no complaints. Simple, delicious, perhaps authentic (seems as such to my incredibly non-Chinese self...) and never crowded. This place deserves a crowd and I’d happily wait on a line to eat this incredible food!

Evan Robinson

Hands down , the best Szechuan restaurant I've ever been to. We had the Ma-po tofu, tea smoked ribs, Fish fillet in broth, the Ma-la griddle pot, hot spicy dumplings. The cold sesame noodles are of a style that is hard to find, but way better than the typical peanut butter variety. I intend to eat here often and you should too.

R
Rabiya Rizvi

This szechuan restaurant is truly one of my favorites! So hard to find legitimate szechuan cuisine in queens. No wonder this place is Michelin suggested. The shredded beef with long horned green peppers is so good it awakens every sense in your body like no joke! They have a gorgeous interior which is also a rarity for local chinese spots that are mainly takeouts so definitely enjoy an amazing evening with the family at this restaurant but if you're not up for it, get it delivered because they do that too! Great family owned business with a good reputation for almost three years ! #Legendary!

We probably wouldn't have paused at the Whitestone listing of Legend of Taste. But intrigued by the Michelin rating, and being big fans of Szechuan, we took a chance. Holy. Moly! We started with the large bowl of noodle soup (w/pickled vegetables and pork) copying a couple sitting nearby. Yeah, we copied their awesome pea shoot dish that they ate in between slurps of soup too. FLAVOR blast! Following the Michelin recommendation- we ordered the incredible "tears in eyes" jelly salad and gotta tell you...I began spilling that awesome sauce over everything. Not that this was needed. The soup- rich in flavor, perfect al dente noodles...the pea shoots-with perfectly thin sliced garlic slabs and scallions...and our entree- Orange Beef! Not two minutes after he dug in, my dining partner exclaimed, "oh, we'll be back-that's for sure! I need to mention that we were assisted by super friendly staff. Big thumbs up for this well deserved eating establishment. Addendum: the left-over "tears in eyes" sauce came home with me and continues to keep giving to our home cooked meals.

My first experience I would rate 4 stars but my second experience I'd rate 5 stars. The first time I came I ordered the wonton soup, fried pork dumplings and the Kung Pao chicken. The soup could have been better; it tasted more like take -out level soup. The dumplings were excellent and the sauce is tangy but delicate on the palette. The Kung pao was good, but wasn't quite dazzling as I was hoping for. It could use more of a hot pepper flavor. Maybe next time I'll request it spicier. My first impression of the food was mixed. I will say the staff are pleasant and finding parking is easy in the nearby neighborhood. I was willing to give it another shot and order something else, because rarely does a Chinese restaurant make every dish top notch, so I had faith that they would hit the nail on the head with another dish. Sure enough, the second time i came my experience was much better. I ordered the fried dumplings again and they were great and this time, I ordered the shredded beef with longhorn green peppers and it was outstanding. It hit the spot and was exactly what I was hoping for in a Szechuan restaurant. It had that dark, spicy flavor. I also ordered the Mongolian beef and it was tasty. If any of the owners are reading my post, I suggest having fresher more flavorful wonton meat in the wontons in the soup, and more pepper flavor in the Kung Pao chicken. I quite enjoyed the shredded beef with the longhorn green peppers. I love the after taste of that dish.

Excellent Sichuan food - crispy eggplant, dan dan noodles. I've only ordered pickup but the eat-in interior looks calm and clean and large, with almost an American diner feel. They also have lots of familiar Chinese takeout items on the menu, which are not bad, but not necessarily better than at a great takeout spot. For example, the beef chow fun (乾炒牛河) and General Tso's chicken are both better and cheaper at Chow's nearby. Lunch specials (which really include only these more American friendly items) are a bit smaller and more pricy too.

Best Sichuan restaurant in Queens, New York. I am originally from Chongqing, pretty picky about Sichuan food, this place is really authentic! Their chef is from Chengdu. Best beef noodles with high quality beef melt in your mouth and it's not easy to find a loofah vegetable dish to begin with!

Amazing food here! A variety of foods to choose from, with a good lunch menu for those looking for your typical items (general tso's and chicken w/ garlic sauce - except really well done!!) soup dumplings, and numbing chicken were also great.

The food is delicious, the szechuan doesn't mask the flavors of the dish. We haven't disliked any of the dishes we've ordered and practically get food from here once a week. The staff is kind and quick. The space is clean.

This establishment is as classic and comforting of a New York Chinese restaurant as I have ever experienced. White paper dining tables, boiling pot of green tea, Tsing Tao beer, and mini blue mints at the hostess desk. The wontons in red chili oil were the best I ever had and this is the only Chinese restaurant that has decent fried eggplant available.

My family and I always choose this as our local spot. Whether for dine in or take out the staff are welcoming and deliver a great meal. If you dine in, the dining room is very clean as are the bathrooms. Portions, especially dinner, are always big enough to share. If you are looking for something special on the menu I revoke crab ragoons or the soup dumplings! Enjoy!

D
Diane Drey

This is the best Chinese restaurant in all of Queens and it’s got some pretty stiff competition. You must try all the Chengdu specialties, crispy, eggplant, fish with pickled vegetables, cumin Lamb, and many of the appetizers …. The chef knows what he is doing. A three star Michelin experience

S
She Rie

Definitely a five star compared to its competitors in the neighborhood and price is reasonable. Their price didn't change much from the time I used to live in the area years ago. Always a friendly face from the server. This is a neighborhood favorite and for the right reasons, awesome service, very clean and delicious meals. Authentic Chinese Szechuan and our favorite were Mongolian beef ( meat so soft, melts in your mouth) and chicken with black bean sauce. If you are Asian , you know what am talking about.

The friendliest staff you will ever meet as well as the best food you will ever eat! It is evident the amount of thought and care that goes in to the food preparation, and as such, the quality has never ceased to amaze! If you are searching for authentic Szechuan cuisine, then this is the place to be at!

So spicy I was chugging water and tea. The portions are good and everything hit the spot! Solid place for Szechuan dishes. We enjoyed the beef tendon, cabbage pot, and tofu with fish filets. Definitely ordering takeout from here or come back for a sit down meal again!

We've wanted to try this place for a while. It looks like an American Chinese food place but they have really decent szechuan dishes. Price is better than Flushing and quality is great. We've been back a few times since.

Augene Park

One of my favorite places for Chinese food, whether it be authentic or Chinese-American dishes. I've been coming here for around 3 years now and I've never been disappointed. It has a good selection of dishes from all over China. My personal favorite is their laziji (Chongqing diced chicken on their menu). I also like their cumin lamb and mapa tofu. One odd thing about the restaurant is that they play country music. I'd prefer something else but maybe it's to celebrate being American? 🤷‍♂️

A family favorite. Food is unique and deliciously prepared. We recently ordered half trays of food for a party at home. Reasonably priced and our guests loved it. Customer service is great. Recommend the Szechuan crispy eggplant and Dan Dan noodles. Easy parking nearby and seating is comfortable. Michelin recommended restaurant right in Queens!

aaron sloane

We have been taking out from Legend of Taste during the pandemic and the food was always great and hot. Tonight we went and ate in and it was incredible. They do not overload their food with sugar and they will make the food as spicy as you want. They are very accomodating. You can see from the vegetables the quality of the ingredients and they are very generous with the portions and the meat, fish or chicken in the dish

The wife and I moved to Whitestone in November and I gotta say finding a good restaurant in general is hard but we ordered the beef and broccoli and sesame chicken tonight and was better than anything we’ve had around here. Not greasy and fresh. The driver also was quick with the delivery. Definitely recommend

Yesterday I was in the mood for Chinese food and visiting family in Whitestone. My mom mentioned she wanted to try this place and I'm glad we did. The place was very clean and the service was great. The waiter/hostess did a phenomenal job. They only had one person running the entire front of the restaurant. She was answering phones, seating people, waiting on them, running food and bussing the tables 1 person!! At 1:30 on a Friday afternoon she had six tables she was waiting on at the same time. As for the food, we ordered lunch specials which came w soup & rice. The egg drop wonton soup was phenomenal, I really enjoyed my general tsos chicken. I loved the fried dumplings they came out great. My mom ordered something with beef and enjoyed it. With one soda the bill was just under $34 plus tip. I thought the price was very fair for what we received. Alot of takeout places would charge the same and not have a dining area. I will definitely be back.

I am not from around here and was just passing through, but was DYING for Szechuan spicy noodles and fried eggplant. I don't have much Szechuan food near me at home in western mass. I was so late to pick up (&missed their call) from traffic that they had thrown the food away, which I felt terrible about, but staff was super accommodating and made me fresh food -- which was such a treat, bc I came prepared to have cold food. Staff was very kind and understanding, and I really appreciated the kindnesses. The dishes tasted exactly like I hoped they would -- delicious. After a very long day, I wanted to feel like a Szechuan peppercorn came to life and slapped me in the face, and I certainly did. The food brought me so much joy. I'm so pleased -- I haven't found this quality of Szechuan food since Szichuan Popo in London! PS, ALWAYS TIP 💖🥰✨

Run do not walk to Legend of Taste if you crave delicious Chinese food served in a pleasant atmosphere!!! Tonite we enjoyed the Szechuan Wontons in Ref Oil, Boneless Ribs & Scallion Pancakes as appetizers-amazing! My entree was the Peking Style Pork Chops also amazing! We also had the Crispy Fried Eggplant for the table, Oh My!!! Sorry there are no pictures. We were too busy stuffing that food down. We all ate till we were full and still had food to take home. This all came at a very reasonable price. Love this spot!

Delicious, spicey if you like spicey and friendly service. In addition to the crispy chicken and the MaLa hot pot the soup dumplings were very tastey. The prices were a litle high but you can definitely share dishes.

I was so amazed by this place, came in for authentic Chinese sichuan cuisine and was served as advertised! Such fresh vegetables and delicious taste, I can still remember the flavor from last night. I got the pan fried veg dumplings and pan fried veg noodles. Both were legendary!☺️ If you are around the corner you should definitely try out this place!

One of the best Chinese food you can find in this neighborhood. I'm so happy this is only two blocks away from where I live. The first time I came here the food was a bit salty for my taste but the second time I came, I made sure to let the waitress know to go light on the salt and they followed my instructions. The service is impeccable and the price is fair. Highly recommended if you're looking for real Chinese food and not the take out Chinese food.

I am a regular diner at Legend of Taste and have brought many people there as well. Everyone always says the same thing "Wow that was so good!". This is truly my favorite place to eat in NYC and that says a lot. Fair prices, great portion, quality food and best of all just a very distinct taste! Nina and the rest of the staff are very friendly and accommodating to top it all off! This place is a 11/10, must visit!!

Daniel Stan

Pure bliss, a culinary delight! I read about this place on Michelin Guide where is listed as Bib Gourmand. I've tried several dishes Sichuan Style and all were sublime! The place is ultraclean and the service is extremely friendly and efficient. I will be back very soon! A must try, a true gem!

Best authentic Ive had East of the Whitestone Expressway and this far north. Its Szechuan burns so good. If its got 3 peppers its going to sting. If u get takeout and think milk to make the burn stop it wont work on a 3 pepper entree.

t
the raid was boring so now i have to do it myself

I love spicy food. Szechuan cuisine specializes in that, going for a mouth numbing spiciness. So I had to come here. The atmosphere is nice. They were playing country music, which I thought was funny. And the service is great. I got the lunch special, triple pepper chicken (as you see in the photo) with pork fried rice and wonton soup. The soup is perfect for a cold, winter day, and was absolutely delicious. The chicken, meanwhile, was nice and spicy (though I was expecting much spicier for 3 hot pepper emojis). Though, when I asked, they told me it was more "mild" — I gotta ask for spicier next time! But please get something milder if you can't handle spice — my spice tolerance is VERY high. Excellent food, excellent service, funny random country music. Five stars.

A consistent and authentic Sichuan style in a local area. The lunch specials are tasty and their chef specials are also great. I recommend the braised fish filet in chili oil as well as the fried fish filet in with ginger peanuts. Great for takeout and always fast delivery!

Came here to celebrate Chinese New Year. The egg drop soup was delicious and filling. The soup dumplings were full of flavor and the fried dumplings were amazing as well. The noodles were so filling and the eggplant was great! The bak Chou was a bit chewy but good and the fried was was wonderful. The I cream was a great touch at the end! Would def come back! Service was great and fast and the bathrooms was clean

Excellent food, generous portions and prompt service. Soup dumplings were amazing! Even the tea was great. No need to go to congested downtown Flushing for authentic Chinese food when you can enjoy it here in Whitestone with easy parking. Glad to have found this local gem.

I've been eating here for a while now, and I am proud to say Legend of Taste is one of the most authentic Szechuan restaurants in Queens. The dishes are incredibly spicy, though pairing it along with a soup or rice dish will help you tolerate the spice.

I ordered delivery and wasn't sure what to expect, maybe it was another mediocre yet hyped-up restaurant? Would the food arrive soggy or tough? But I was SO impressed. I ordered the tea smoked duck, Chongqing chicken, and crispy eggplant and it was all incredible, up there in quality with higher end Sichuan restaurants in the NYC area that charge double and give half the portions. I can't wait to try out more from their menu, hopefully next time in person!

Food is great and location is good, rather than taking into flushing for good szechuan food. I’m continually returning to this wonderful spot! The dishes here are so much better than typical take out Chinese though they have the same name. Prices are reasonable, especially during lunch. Always a good time to try different dishes. Please know that their dishes can have some spice and the pepper signs should not be ignored! I highly recommend their Szechuan eggplant, kung pao chicken and hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup here is great!!!

This place is a hidden gem. Complete with a Michelin Bib Gourmond mention. Everything i have had so far has been exceptional even as take out. I can only imagine dining in. If you like the non traditional sichuan dishes that you won't find in your average Chinese take-out place then I suggest you go to Legend of Taste as quickly as possible. They also have your more commonly recognized traditional Chinese take out dishes. Experience these dishes with your taste buds and your nose. Don't let your eyes decide for you what you think you will like or not like.

The food is delicious. I was impressed by the subtle use of spices and the obvious care that the chef and cooks put on preparing the dishes. This might be the best Sichuan restaurant I've been to in a long time

Excellent, authentic Sichuan (四川菜) cuisine. My wife is from Chongqing (重庆市) and she gives it two thumbs up. The Chongqing spicy chicken is fantastic!

Great authentic sichuan food. No need to go into the heart of flushing and fight over parking. The cold pork in garlic sauce is one of my favorite and realize that not every place has it on the menu.

Tasty and spicy. The waitress will know you'd ask for more water as soon as you take the first bite. Quiet atmosphere, good for business meetings.

Very neat and clean little corner restaurant that serves up good Sichuan food minus the sort of Sichuan heat that can have drinking more beer than eating food. Pleasant service too. Spare yourself the hassle of finding parking in Flushing and try this place.

Stan Goldstein

Rather good, EXCELLENT in fact! Great noodle dishes. Super good Sesame Noodles. Nice bowl of Egg drop wonton soup. Nice & quiet (at least when I was there). Very pleasant servers. I'll be going back often. TAKE NOTE: Some of the dishes are VERY spicy! Many of you will not want some of the "delicacies", like pig intestines. READ THE MENU CAREFULLY .

Food was on of the best in the area. I had chicken thao. Big chicken and juicy. Pork fried rice was very tasty. Sweet and spicy soup vey good lunch combo

Steve Liu

Went there to get take out, lady taking the order was thorough and clear and asked what utensils I wanted, a rarity among Chinese restaurants. The food was quite good, I really enjoyed the Chengdu fish, it was flavorful and had a good amount of fish. Mapo tofu was also good but it had no meat, which was a little surprising as it's usually made with a bit of ground pork. I guess their version of vegetarian. All in all it was good and I'll order again

We went on Christmas Day which is not a typical day for Legend Of Taste. The place was packed and they were a bit short-staffed. The waitresses were doing the best they could but you could tell it was a really long day for them. They were trying hard and were very nice to us. The kitchen staff was probably overworked as well. The food was okay. Will try again on a normal day

Reopened since one week - Food was tasty. Small portions for price. We ordered the mapo tofu: delicious and spicy. The pork chop salt and pepper was tender but not crispy as they said it would be. The Mongolian beef was chewy but tasty. Would probably stick with mapo tofu again next time.

Ronald Paul

I had the shrimp in garlic sauce, which was very good. The spicy jumble shrimp were very meaty, and the dish was a generous portion. We also had the orange chicken, which was also very good. We shared an order of meh fun with pork, which was excellent. Now, some complaints. That simple things like water or chinese tea, you have to ask for. The noodles you usually put in your soup, you have to ask for, with a $2.00 extra charge, even though we rang up a $70 plus food order. I asked for soy sauce, half expecting a charge, there wasn't. That said, the service was very good, polite, and whatever we requested was very quickly given. I liked the $8.75 charge for a glass of wine, which is rare these days of $10 to $15 for a glass. There appears to be ample street parking. Overall, we were very pleased to finally find a decent, pleasant Chinese restaurant, which these days, it seems, is a rare commodity. We will be going back, and I do recommend this restaurant. There is also a lunch menu deal.

The flavors were delicious. We had a 9 course meal, catered as part of a group. The food just kept coming! The location is in a neighborhood and only a few tables inside. The staff was wonderful. I thought the group price was a bit steep at $150 each but other than that we were kept very full and had a great experience here.

Menu and prices as of 5/10/2025. An okay Schezuan restaurant by Utopia Parkway in Whitestone. Don't expect the super authentic dishes like in flushing, but this restaurant somehow scratches that itch. Reasonably priced as well: entree is about $19-$25. Wherein in flushing it would cost $30 and up. Street parking, they don't have their own parking lot. Service is great staff are nice.

P
Peter LaChi

Service with a smile. Doubt I will be coming again. Food was good. I miss those days when they gave a tea pot on the table. I think they would score a lot of points with customers that like that.

Food wasn't very legendary. Tasted more Americanized than Chinese, even more Americanized than the takeout places. I guess the location and neighborhood determines the food style. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, but the food wasn't great for what we wanted. Better to go closer to Northern Blvd and have more authentic food.

b
ben bauer

The atmosphere was much better than the food. The soup dumplings had a very thick noodle skin and the was very little soup inside. I've had so much better in the area. All the dishes were just soso. I hate to be frank but its the truth. They have work to do.

M

Not bad, not great. Legend of Taste is on the expensive side without really justifying the price hike. The chicken & broccoli was delivered on time by a friendly driver, but the chicken was kinda chewy and the sauce was a bit too salty. The portion was nice and there was a lot of broccoli, but then again the price was $16! Oh, and no fortune cookie… I can’t speak for the authentic Szechuan dishes at Legend, but if you’re looking for Chicken & Broccoli then Bell Garden Chinese near by is much cheaper and tastes the same if not better.

We’ve visited this restaurant well over a dozen times across the years, dining in regularly. It has also received Michelin recognition, which was part of what initially drew us in. Based on our most recent visit, while the food was not bad, it felt noticeably different from what we remembered from earlier visits. The flavors were more restrained, and the dishes lacked the boldness and depth that previously stood out. I wouldn’t say the food is poor — it’s still solid — but based on our past experiences, the dishes felt more moderate and less distinctive than before. Given its reputation and history, there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of flavor intensity.

Food is family style. One dish is enough for 3/4 people. There are no combination dishes. Fried rice is a separate dish for $ 15.00. Bill for 7 of us in excess of $200.00. Bathroom and place clean. No specials.

We ordered dinner last night for delivery via their own website. Food was good, but we got over charged for EVERY single item and also got hit with a "service fee"- plus we tipped, of course! See photo of my receipt; the hand written amount is what is posted online via their Google listing that states "Menu updated yesterday", versus what we ACTUALLY PAID- it is a 'bait & switch' and we paid $1-$2 more for every single item; about $7 in total. It's not the amount but it is the principle- although, $73 for 4 apps and a small main course is a bit much! As a result- we will not support this particular business anymore. Sharing our disappointment because it is not nice to deceive people. So unfortunate.

The food is inconsistent. Today I ordered and the chicken was tough and the texture was off. I called and explained this. They asked me to bring back the bad order and they would refund me. Now. Had I not just picked up my two children and gotten home to discover the inedible meal I may have been fast to go back. But two kids to refund my $12 is a bit much. So. I’ll take the loss but will never buy here again.

food is good but i just walked in here to eat with my mom and the guy rolled his eyes and yelled they are closed and pointed his finger towards the door for us to leave. It was very rude and uncalled for. These people have lost a customer thanks! Such an unpleasant experience i have honestly never been treated this rudely in a restaurant.

I can not believe that it's Michelin's recommended restaurant. both of the restaurant and Michelin lost my trust. Meat in YUXIANGROUSI is not fresh. all foods we ordered are not really Chuan food. if you want a real Chinese food, forget about this restaurant. Too much MSG in it. Not healthy. After eating their foods, you have to drink much water because of too much MSG.

There isn’t a Chinese restaurant that I have ever patronized that charges for noodles for the soup ,, went once that was enough, it will cost you more in the long run nickle and dimeing is a no no ,,

Vegetarians beware! Ma Po Tofu, listed in the Vegetables section of the menu is prepared and served with ground pork. There is no information about this on the menu.

This was one of the worst delivery experiences I’ve ever had. I ordered from this restaurant through Grubhub and asked in the notes to leave my food at the front door. Instead, the delivery person who came directly from the restaurant and called me and rudely demanded that I come outside. When I did, he started yelling at me about the tip amount. That’s completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. Customers already pay high service and delivery fees on Grubhub, especially in NYC. No one deserves to be treated like this. If your staff can’t show basic respect, you shouldn’t be sending them out to represent your restaurant. I will NEVER order from this place again. Please train your employees properly ! this kind of behavior is disgusting and totally ruined my experience.

I’ve ordered from Legends of Taste a few times and thought it was decent at first, but my last order of orange chicken was absolutely disgusting. The pieces were mostly fried crust with barely any chicken inside, and what little meat there was was dry, rubbery, and chewy like jerky. It was inedible ! The sauce tasted bitter and off, almost medicinal, and the broccoli was dull and lifeless, clearly cooked hours before. This meal made it clear they don’t care about quality. It felt like leftovers reheated and thrown together at the end of the night. After this experience, I’ll never go back — they lost me as a customer for good. It was so bad I threw the entire meal straight into the trash.
