Legend 72 - New York

Empty restaurant but long wait.Noodles are flavorful.I liked the red bean also.

I've read through the previous complaints regarding service, which I found baffling. I found the service to be very good and accommodating.My dan dan noodles were excellent, and my crispy fish in sweet and sour sauce was cooked to perfection. Despite the obligatory warning from my waiter (this wasn't processed fish but rather a real fish after all), I found that my fish had almost no bones. In short, the preparation was excellent: so good, that I took a picture of my food, something I am usually loathe to do.Here, sadly, was the problem with my experience. The freshwater fish selected for my meal (it may have been a trout or possibly a carp) had a distinctively earthy flavor. I chose to ignore the muddy aftertaste as the fish had been prepared very well. Later on in the evening, as I sat through a concert, I kept burping up that unpleasant earthy taste. This made for an unpleasant experience. This restaurant must improve its supply of freshwater fish. It should not permit a forty dollar entree to be ruined by inferior supply.This may be one of the few instances where using farm-raised fish may be preferable to wild caught fish, as the filtration systems in farm-raised specimens tend to cancel out the muddy taste prevalent in wild-caught specimens.

6/24/23 first time here.Happy hour till 8p every day.We had dumplings, they were good.The GF had chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce, that was good. I had rice noodles with chicken, fine but not much flavor. (I really wanted the Singapore Mai fun but the GF said no... Why did i listen? She wanted to share)We would return if in the area.

We enjoyed the experience in Legend72. The dishes were quite good (7/10). We could conversate perfectly as it was silent and quiet (no music). One may miss that living in a noisy city like NYC.

This restaurant has something for everyone. Authentic old school and new Sichuan dishes plus American favorites. I've ordered many times and the food is always great and arrives hot. On my last delivery order they gave me a wrong item and sent out a replacement immediately.
