A Hong Kong cafe featuring plenty of familiar dishes. I tried here a couple of times and it seems to live up to the standards and never disappoints. The drinks that I tried are the cold Hong Kong milk tea and red bean ice. Both taste really good, the only thing is their red bean ice comes with a short spoon which makes it messy to dig all the red beans out at the end. I tried a lot of their spaghetti with meats and different sauces and they're tasty, but if you like sauce, ask for more. I'm not a big sauce lover, so the sauce is just enough for me; but my family said there's not enough. Their other dishes such as lamb casserole, salted fish fried rice and sizzling plates are all really good too. Pleasantly surprised that their sizzling steak was so good. The salted fish fried rice had enough salted fish in them. The lamb casserole is flavorful and balanced. The service is always friendly and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of comfy seatings and some outdoor too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It came be busy sometimes, and calm the others depending on the hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, this location is directly across from Jmart supermarket. read more

I really enjoyed the drinks here, more than the food. The red bean slush is reminiscent of my childhood and it was a great mix of sweetened red bean, condensed milk, and ice. The coffee/milk tea has a good strong flavor profile too. Kumquat lime is a very hong Kong drink too. I found the baked beef with rice wasn't very standard. It had less tomato base and more of a five-spice flavor profile. I prefer the style with a more ketchup tomato flavor. The baked fish (tilapia?) was very soft and juicy but the noodles were overcooked. It was a little lack luster in terms of flavor too. The fried salt and pepper chicken wings were very good- juicy and perfectly fried. I would come back and try other dishes, but mainly I would come back for the drinks. read more

Ordered the French toast, beef brisket macaroni soup, and baked chicken with tomato rice. French toast was good, not too sweet and crunchy. Beef Brisket macaroni soup tasted ok. I felt the soup was watered down beef and lack some flavor. Baked Chicken with Tomato rice was delicious, especially chicken was tender. It was very busybthat we waited around 30 minutes for a seat/table. The waiters forgot to serve us tea and water and proper amount of utensils. We had to constantly ask for them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathroom was dirty and very messy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it's alright but improve some dishes and service. read more

This place used to be located at 86th st. Food is decent. Ordered the silky egg with beef chow fun & supreme soy sauce stir fried noodles. Why does both dishes has mushroom in there. I love mushroom, but never heard of supreme soy sauce stir noodles has mushroom. It should be just bean sprout with some scallion. Overall the food is ok.. I would go back and try other dishes. read more

Haven't been here for a while so came here again and had a different experience from last time. Staff seated us quickly and came often to provide us drinks, chopsticks, and napkins. Ordered the following: - Baked beef minced spaghetti $9.95 - Beef chow fun $10.75 - Wonton noodle soup $7.50 - French toast with condensed milk $4.95 - Mapo tofu $9.50 + white rice $1.50 Decent portions and reasonably priced. Haven't been here for awhile and the prices haven't changed much. Food was flavorful. For the map tofu though, it wasn't the numbing type of spicy and wasn't that spicy. But other than that, food was alright. read more

I'm not a hong kong expert but I think the food is mid. I been here 2/3 times and it's not been terrible. Flavors taste decent. It's pretty interesting how prices go up every time I come here. The service is mid, feels either very rushed or very slow read more

Excellent baked dishes! Recommend all their baked curry, Portuguese, and tomato dishes. Just pick your protein. Usually get take out and it comes piping hot still. Absolutely delicious! Reasonable prices and large portions. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon at around 4 as a group of two and the place was around 40% filled. We ordered the salt and pepper squid, baked seafood with rice, and baked pork chop with rice to share. The salt and pepper squid was probably my favorite among everything but the portion was a bit too small. Both of the baked rice also tasted great and I like how they used egg fried rice as the base instead of plain white rice! The portion of the baked rice was very generous and I had enough leftover for two more meals. Overall, great experience! Food came out pretty fast and all the servers were very friendly. Great value for the amount of food that they give! Will come back again! read more

I still think their food is yummy but it's really hard to get served. First, the staff is really busy with a lot of people waiting outside. The tables are small because the interior is tight. I saw the staff go as far as sit a party of three around one small round table. The staff served the entrees before the appetizers so there was no space to put the apps and no way the customers could've cleared the entrees quickly to make room. The staff ended up taking the apps back into the kitchen. I was served my food before I even received utensils and drinks. I already asked them a few times for all of those items when I placed my order. It was frustrating having to follow up so many times and not get results. They didn't come over to take my order so I had to wave them down. Once they got to my table to take my order, the waitress was barely paying attention. Thankfully, she got my order right. read more

Since my last review, I've tried a few additional items from The Legend Cafe House and did not particularly enjoy them. The minced meat baked spaghetti is just bizarre; it tasted like they put too many additional herbs and spices that just did not work well. We also found star anise which I was not expecting at all. The chow kwai fun was also just decent, but looked and tasted more like singapore mei fun with ho fun. Prices here also tend to be steeper than other HK cafes. read more

Decided to try it because I was craving hk style food. I came on a Friday around 8 pm with my husband and was seated right away. It's a casual spot with good amount of seating. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the red bean ice, fish with tofu and Portuguese baked pork chop with spaghetti. Food wasn't bad, pretty standard hk style food. The pork chop was a little salty but still enjoyable read more

Truly honest review. The place could seriously use an improvement food wise. The baked rice dishes come out with socarrat-esque rice, which I detest. If they used porcelain dishes then this rice problem wouldn't occur. We tried the baked pasta, it was just deplorable in the cha chaan tang world. The sauce in the pork chop with onions over rice was a disaster; I am certain they use flour as a thickening agent because I can still taste and feel it while I ate. It wasn't just me, another person said this item was horrendous after sampling from my lunch. And guess what, the same method of thickening is also in the corn soup aka hard pass no thanks. While on that note, why is there pomelo skins in their borscht soup??? The staff is nice but they really need to fix the food. In a pinch, you can get a quick lunch. However, if it's constantly making a client frown and question why this and why that then they have some reassessing to do. Also, they need to fix the air conditioning, it's mighty stuffy in there even in a cool day. read more

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. read more

While shopping at JMart across the street, I accidentally locked my car keys in the trunk so while I was waiting for help, I decided to walk around and came across Legend Cafe House. For a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was quite busy as both outdoor tables were taken and I was given a wait for 20 min for a party of 2. The Legend Cafe House specializes in HK-style cha chaan teng (or diner) dishes and includes specials like baked rice dishes, curry rice dishes, and HK-style French toast. We ordered the baked pork chop with rice ($9.50), the spam & egg soup macaroni ($7.75), a HK-style milk tea ($3.75), and a honey ginger tea ($3.95). The baked pork chop dish came in a lightly creamy tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, and a ton of rice. You can feed two with this dish alone. The soup macaroni tasted nostalgic and came with an over-easy egg and some crispy, fried Spam. For the price point, I think the portions are fairly huge and a great deal. I would definitely recommend a visit if you're craving HK-diner food or just hungry after shopping. read more

My family and friends came for a birthday dinner on Friday night. My husband and my friend ordered the prix fixe T bone steak and asked for it rare, with the Borscht soup, lemon tea. When the borscht soup came, my husband and I noticed right away a hair on the edge of the soup line. We brought it to the waitresse's attention and she took it back. He chose not to get another soup. It was a big turnoff ( We didn't take a picture of that but when it happened a second time on the corn soup, I decided to take a picture.) While we were waiting for the main courses, our appetizers and side dishes came. The chicken wings and calamari portions were small, granted they were appetizers. However, the quality of the food did not match its price point and its small portion. About 5-10 minutes into our waiting, a different waitress comes to the table to ask us if we're sure we want the steaks rare. We thought it was odd, but of course the answer was yes. My son got the oxtail, it was mostly bones ( picture included). The curry sauce was lukewarm. I got the lamb with bean curd, no flavor and microwaved not long enough. It was hot outside and cold inside. Then finally comes the steaks. They were cooked medium well. We immediately brought it to the attention of another waitress who went to the back and never came back. 5 minutes later, we raised our hands to signal another waitress and mentioned to her that the steak wasn't cooked rare. She then went to the back and then 5 minutes later, a manager came to the table. He's a bit standoffish and starts to get flustered about the steak's doneness. He said the kitchen has been busy and the steak was probably cooked rare but during the process of getting it to our table because they are so busy, the steak became medium done because it sat on the warming plate too long. So, we are wondering how is this our problem? Especially, when the waitress made an effort to come out and made sure we had requested something rare ?. The male manager became so frustrated he said, " comp his dish, oh forget it, comp the whole dinner. ) and walked away. 10 minutes later, the male manager comes back. He apologized and said it's slow down now, I can talk to you. He offered another steak but at that time, we were all about to be finished with our food. The waitress who asked about the rare steak came out also and apologized profusely. Once again, their excuse is that they were busy. When we finally got our check, she made it a point to point out that the drinks were on them, all 3 drinks. By the way, most of our drinks were included in the pre fix dinner. In addition, we left 20% tip even though the service was mediocre. Needless to say, my dining experience is now ruined. We are definitely not going back and we don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

A variety of hK cafe style dishes. Highly recommend the Hong Kong Milk Tea. The salt & pepper squid was a good portion as an appetizer. Curry fish balls were decent. The borscht soup was good. I thought the red sauce baked porkchop was bland. Had higher expectations for their Pan Seared Minced Pork w. Salted Fish over rice, it was dry, too much rice wine ratio, and very skimp on the salted fish. I like to run errands in the neighborhood so I do hope it's an off day so I might give them another try. Service was friendly but slow. read more

This is actually one of my fave hk cha chan tang type restaurant in the area. Haven't tried too many things on their menu but for the stuff I did try and always keep coming back which is their baked Portuguese chicken over rice is fuego!! Their portion size is sooo generous with the chicken and it's so tender and juicy which always makes me think about it when I'm in the area! And love love their hk milk tea here read more

Very roomy place with friendly service. Food was very average. Everything was on the salty side. The salt and pepper chicken wings were some of the worst we ever had. I mean, let's be honest, who can mess up chicken wings? They tasted days old and super salty. They were $6 for 5 pieces !! Don't get them. The rest of our meal were on the salty side. Our best part of the meal was the red bean ice. Not many places make it like it anymore. Reminds me if the old school cafe taste from growing back. We enjoyed it very much. There is alot in the menu so perhaps we ordered the wrong items. With that said, I would go back one more time to try their other options. read more

Amazing prices, large portions, great drinks. The Baked Portuguese Chicken is amazing and so is the French Toast.

Food is HK style cafe and it's a staple of mine. It's comforting and you can't beat the price. I can have a single meal plus a drink for less than $20. I never have a bad experience when I'm here. Staffing is welcoming, even when they're busy. read more

I love this place! HK cafe nostalgia on full alert!!! The Legend Cafe House (reminds me of the owners that shut down their Legend Steak House spot on 86th Street), took over the void that my old fav.. "Like Cafe" left... (Like Cafe is more Malaysian cafe now... sadly). Cozy set up, the waitstaff are not as efficient as Kowloon Cafe (they got their stuff down-pack!) but you will eventually get your food, drinks and check. The epic HK Milktea is... delicious! Not as strong but perfect for my whole family! I like it with a bit more "bite". lol We've tried a few items and loved all of it! Everything is Flavorful, tenderness is on point with the beef stew, nothing lacked anything and for that, I'm a happy Yelper! - salt & pepper squid (must get!) - crispy fries (extra crispy!) - company sandwich (this is really good! Different good! With a slice of grilled pork!) - braised oxtail with bean curd (savory goodness) -stir-fry squid with pickled cabbage over noodles (so much wok-hay! Just like Dai Pai Dong!) - eggplants with salted fish over rice (yes!) - curry chicken over rice (my kids loved it) - instant noodle soup w/ spam (my kids loved it) I look forward to trying even more of their delicious HK style baked dishes! Good eats in Brooklyn! #yelphappy #yelplife #hkstylecafe #hkmilktea read more

Always been curious about this place as I walked by or drove by it so many times since it sits right across the street from JMart. Usually it's a jam packed place. Today was the day where I finally decided to give this place a try. Upon arrival it was pretty busy but still managed to get a table. We ended up ordering two Hong Kong Milk Teas. A cold one and a hot one. Nothing special but I must warn those who are lactose intolerance that you have been warned hehe. The eggplant and salty fish was decent. Not too spicy overwhelming. Just perfect enough to eat over rice. My favorite though is the curry. I think no matter what protein you get the curry is the same (they cook the meat solo then just pour in the curry gravy). Curry has a little kick to it which is nice. The salt and pepper squid was kinda a disappointment. The picture shown is exactly how much you're getting. The gf and I looked at each other when it got dropped and and thought "where is the rest of it?" Regardless of that it was nicely fried, seasoned, and crispy. Overall I would eat here again. Always love cheap eats! Enjoy! read more

Decided to try this Hong Kong style Cafe after grocery shopping at Jmart. Takeout order was quick and came out hot. I really liked the baked Pork Chop rice with cheese and white sauce, the meat was a tad on the salty side though. The stir fried Beef chow fun was also pretty good (not too oily). The third noodle dish lacked a bit of flavor and not enough veggies. Overall, place is clean with two table setup for indoor dining. Location is convenient from the supermarket to the train station. read more

I will admit I was a bit hesitant about eating here; after all, naming yourselves "The Legend"? That sets some pretty high expectations right there. I'm glad that my sister convinced me to eat here though, as the food really is good. It's a bit of a walk from my house, but it's nice to have a new Hong Kong-style cafe addition in the neighborhood. The menu options are pretty standard; they're things you would typically expect from a HK cafe like sandwiches, baked dishes, curry dishes, rice or spaghetti, and noodle soups. Oh, and can't forget the milk tea! My sister and I opted for some of the more basic and easy-to-make dishes, specifically, the Ham & Egg Sandwiches, the Satay Beef with Udon, the Curry Fishball, and the Hong Kong Style Milk Tea. Nothing fancy-schmancy, which was good, since everything came up in a matter of minutes. The chef rings a little bell at the order station and I salivate knowing my food is coming. Cheers! A few dishes could use a couple of tweaks here and there. For example, the Ham & Egg Sandwiches were slightly on the drier side and the clear stock for the Satay Beef with Udon was bland. My sister didn't like the pineapple chunks in there either, but that's a personal preference (just take out the pineapple, no biggie!) Service was a bit on the quieter side, but the movie made up for it. Hidden codes, flying bullets, bulls stampeding, so so thrilling! Kinda sad too. Not exactly a choice I'd expect in a cafe, but hey, my eyes were glued to the screen. No complaints here. Overall, really good! Definitely give this place a shot if you haven't already. I can't wait to try some of the other more complicated dishes. Yes, spaghetti, you know I'm talking about you ;D read more
