This downtown Chinatown spot serves excellent northern Chinese cuisine in a modern space.
📍418 Dundas St W, Toronto
The downtown location of the Asian Legend chain (there are five locations in the GTA) is something of an institution. They serve mainly northern Chinese cuisine – with some dishes from other regions as well – in a modern space (check out the robot that brings your dishes to the table!)
We popped by for a quick lunch and were not disappointed. We ordered three of our “go-to” dishes: Braised Bamboo Shoots for an appy; Shrimp and Pork Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce (the peanut sauce was a new twist for us); and, Noodles with Minced Pork in Peking Sauce.
Everything was very well executed, with the wonton dish standing out due to the addition of the peanut sauce over the wontons in oil. We are keen to return to try their legendary Xiaolongbao and Peking Duck.
We definitely recommend stopping by Asian Legend if you find yourself in Toronto’s downtown Chinatown.
