"Love this spot! One of my favorite hk style milk tea! Very close to the ones in hk! Their foods are very consistent and never fails. Love their baked style spaghetti always my go to. Can never skip their appetizers options as well. Their portions are also very decent-big. The staff are all super friendly! Highly recommend!"

"The food offers a reasonable value, making it an appealing option for many. The wonton, in particular, is a standout item that is worth trying. Its delicious flavor and texture truly elevate the dining experience. You'll likely find yourself craving this dish after the first bite. Overall, it's a satisfying and enjoyable meal."

"great place to grab hongkong style cafe food! It’s affordable and the portion sizes are pretty decent. the Portuguese chicken was really filling and highly recommended the toast! the fried rice was a little bit on the bland side but it was still good! the red bean ice drink was decent, i was expecting it to be sweetened with condensed milk so the ice part was bland but the red beans were already sweet when mixed together. the atmosphere itself was relatively relaxing! it’s crowded during lunch hours so maybe coming here to have a late lunch would be better!"

"Visited this self proclaimed "Hong Kong style cafe" a couple of times ordering a few HK classic dishes and here is my review. First and foremost at any HK cafe for us is tasting their HK teas. Here we ordered their HK milk tea hot as well as cold plus their cold HK lemon tea. We have had better HK teas in the NYC area but it is not as bland or merely Lipton/Tently tea as some bakeries/restaurants use. The flavor profile is mediocre and not as rich as some of our favorite HK tea spots in NYC. The lemon tea was a bit watered down even upon arrival at our table as well as being loaded with ice. As for food we had ordered their French toast with condensed milk and peanut butter - this was decent, not overly sweet, not overly fried, but a bit less peanut butter than most and using average Chinese bakery white bread. Baked curry beef brisket over rice - done correctly like HK with a fried egg rice base, filled to the top amount of beef and curry that is decently tasty but not exactly authentic HK if this is what you are looking for. Sizzling combo of sirloin steak, borsch soup, fries, spaghetti, and drink - all this for $32. The steak was a large cut abeit not the best cut but considering the price point I cannot complain too much. As well as it being cooked exactly medium plus salted and peppered correctly. The HK borsch soup was average, spaghetti is eh, and fries nice n crispy. Their Supreme soy sauce fried noodles - not how the usual HK soy sauce fried noodle is made and too soggy. I also prefer it with the proper wok hay which this is lacking yet it has some burnt pieces (which I noticed also in the dish the table next to us ordered). However it is filled with all sorts of veggies for those value seekers. So overall speaking of value The Legend Cafe House does offer value and large dishes - we can see this in how busy the place is with families, kids, and the like during peak hours. Impressive is the quality of the waitresses and service they offer - prompt, polite, and they care what they do. In terms of food taste, dish prep, and likeness to Hong Kong we would say it is average for the NYC area. Would I go back - yes for the value and service."

"Pleasantly surprised by the food quality at this Hong Kong-style cafe, especially given the affordable prices. The highlight of my meal was definitely the French toast—warm, fluffy, crispy, and just the right amount of sweetness. I also enjoyed the salted fish meat patty, which was impressively large. The sea bass with French fries was perfectly crispy, but it didn’t stand out as anything special. The salt and pepper squid was also a bit small in portion. For drinks, I recommend the coffee milk tea and honey lemon tea. Both are classics. Overall, The Legend Cafe House offered a great casual meal, and I can't wait to return."
