Asian Legend - North York Industiral

We reserved the VIP room (with 2x tables that accommodate 26 adults 3 young kids) which requires us to spend minimum CAD250 per table. The room was clean and spacious enough.Our main server (Ernest) was very attentive, he would regularly check on us and refill our tea pots. The other staff were also attentive, they would take out the empty plates as they brought in new dishes. The service charge was reasonable for such a great service.We ordered multiple standard dishes, nothing stand out, but they were freshly made and came out hot. Although the delivery gaps between each dishes could be shortened.Parking: Lots of parking spots.

First time to this location. We were hungry and ordered a few expensive dishes. The house special lobster is sweet and sour lobster. That was the first time. Not bad. We also got the peking duck, one course. It was okay. Got a spicy lamb dish, soup dumplings, and a Cantonese Chow Mein, too. It was a lot of food for 2 people.

I used to love their northern Chinese noodle, pastry, xiao long Bao (soup dumplings) so much many years ago; but the quality seems lack of consistency among different locations. They focus too much in catering those new Chinese immigrants' taste buds than old Torontonians, and the end up not improving the flavor of the basic delicacy that made them popular in the past. Looking for better food experience of our next visit.

I don't write this review/message lightly. Let's start by saying you could feel the dislike for someone from my cultural group instantly, by not 1 by 3 people. I looked past the 1st person to ensure I gave we gave it a fair shot and not let 1 bad apple impact us. After all 3 people, my review stands.Found it confusing that only a specific type of clients were sat in the main dining area. Didn't get a waiter for an extended amount time as we were in a back corner and would watch the the service we didn't get (in the main area) on the other side the screen. After an extended period of time we had to walk our order up.As we waited sadly another family experienced the same thing (behind screen and similar cultural mix). Did not speak to them at all about what my instricts were screaming out but as I watched their experience it was clear, we were not welcomed.Food was as expected, nothing exceptional but should have trusted my instincts immediately upon walking in. It took all my patience to get through the meal. Service was provided with resentment. Thank but no thanks. This is not a bad apple situation this is a bad tree situation.

Asian legend is always a solid choice for yum delicious dumplings and beef noodle soupI do think overall they are a great choice, but believe the food taste has gone down a bit in terms of overall deliciousness. They were good but nothing really stood out and said wow to meWith that said, I do believe the service and aesthetic at this location are on point. Very quick and efficient and the atmosphere gives you a nice high end vibeGreat job!
