Reviews for Legend 72 in New York, NY
Food is usually very good. Service is a little chilly, not unusual for a NYC place. They have some spectacular hard to find... authentic specialties. Don't order what you usually get, explore and experience the dynamic range this place is capableof. Update: I don't know if maybe it was just a bad night, but it seems their fresh ingredients were not as fresh today. Weactually left some of the food behind. The shrimp tasted funny, and the boiled spicy fish, usually my favorite, didn't havenearly the same amount of fish as usual. Read more
Way overpriced and the portion is small. Rice is also of poor quality and consistently soggy. Their dishes cost 30% more than... equivalent restaurants and their entree cannot even feed a woman with a small appetite. Agree with other reviewers that themanager is not client friendly. Honestly surprised they are still in business. Consider yourself warned. Read more
This is one of the best restaurants I go to. I can have legend 72 everyday. It's better than almost all of Chinese restaurants... I've been to. I think it's better than Che Li. If you like Mala, try Chendu fish fillet and mapo Tofu. If you like basic, simplelunch special, try Chao Fun, kung pao chicken or sesame chicken. Read more

We have been going to Legend 72 for many years, and the food is always delicious. From family dinners to the larger gatherings... we have hosted, the staff is always accommodating, and the variety of the food is such that everyone can find something theylove. We always look forward to introducing people to this great find on the UWS, which also has the advantage of being just ashort walk from Lincoln Center. Read more
A lot of these low star reviews are from patrons who I assume are less familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine. Excellent... service, delicious food, and clean storefront. The trifecta. Very fair prices for the portions, too! Read more
Terrific menu! Great service and great restaurant! Pretty much any taste accommodation you can think of. The Scallops and Prawns... in garlic sauce is very delightful. Read more
