Stopped here during our visit to Chinatown since we were craving some dumplings and they did not disappoint. Reasonable prices and everything was so fresh

At first glance it was a very homey atmosphere. We ordered our food and waited to be called up. We loved everything we ordered it had great flavor and really filled you up. We had the shrimp pork with leek dumplings, pork with cabbage dumplings, beef bao, Taiwan braised beef noodles, and crab Rangoon. There is even a sauce station

I loved that their were plenty of vegetarian and pescatarian options! My favorites were the shrimp dumplings and the vegan bao. This is a very casual, order at a kiosk type of restaurant.

I finally stopped by Chinatown to try Legend Dumpling Bao! When I got there, it was a small but somewhat crowded place. It depends on the time of day when you might have to wait for a table. I was able to order through the kiosk, and I got the Taiwan braised pork noodles with streamed pork and cabbage bao. Please stop by! Definitely worth the time to eat here.

Order at the kiosk and the food comes out the window. Easy to grab a quick snack here! Excellent bao and dumplings, didn't try the other entree offerings but it all looks legit. Can also order take out at the kiosk. Be sure to try the house made dumpling sauce A

Definitively a gem. A bit small, very unassuming place but food is top notch. Need to order via kiosk, price is more than reasonable and dumplings are full of meat. We got pork and shrimp and pork with pickled cabbage. Maybe one of the best we had. Cucumber salad fresh as it can get. Taste your mom's garden cucumbers there. Pickled daikon and radish dish is full of thick cut, perfectly pickled veggies. Bathroom is spotless, I'm presuming their kitchen is that clean as well. Well definitely come back when in Chicago again. Definitely worthy legend in the name

This was our first time back in Chinatown in a good while. Stopped by here since we have not tried dumplings like these before. What a surprise! Dumplings are bussin! Will be coming back here next chance we get.
