Amazing food, and very affordable and friendly!
I tried the lunch special (yunnan rice noodle) and it was HUGE and so tasty! And the wings were spicy, but not too spicy.
It was so good I got the togo deal because I wanted to try more food from them!

The parking lot is quite small, especially sharing with 2 other facilities. The atmosphere when you walk in is cozy and inviting. The decorations are cute and homey while remaining authentic to the cuisine.
The staff is mostly friendly, some staff members didnt smile back or say excuse me or even acknowledged anything. The waitress was nice, though she did not respond that fast when pushing “call waiter/waitress” button. She also didnt explain the concept, or how to use the tablet very well.
Speaking of which, the tablets UI (User Interface) is VERY confusing at first, it took about 20 minutes to fully understand how it works, and what to do with NUMEROUS questions in between. There are so many different tabs, and options that are just thrown in your face.
The tables are criminally small for how fast you can rack up dishes when it comes to using the hotpot, the waitress hardly came by to help. In fact, the whole principle is quite autonymous, you order on a tablet, you get your own drinks, you get yournown meats for the hotpot, its quite crazy.
Me and another person both had the All You Can Eat Hotpot, BBQ and Dim Sum. The options are quite overwhelming at first, especially with the confusing UI, but the food was surprisingly fresh for an AYCE (All You Can Eat) style restaurant. The (very limited) spices were fresh and fragrant. The actual ingredients (IE shellfish, vegetables and fruits) were also pleasantly fresh. The beef and lamb kababs were delightful and had a very nice dry rub. The dumplings were fluffy and delicious. On the contrary, the Shu Mai were dreadful though, the center had the texture of baby food and was unpleasant to finish. The pork kababs were dreadful, they were 90% fat, so they were decent for the broth, but not to eat. If you DIDNT have the hotpot, they would have been completely inedible. Lastly, the beef noodles were not good either, that dish was lacking in flavor, and tasted more like hot water. Lastly, there are very limited selection of desserts that come with the AYCE options. There are also not a lot of classic desserts in general, mostly jelly and/or puddings.
With all of that being said, if you season your broth correctly and know how to add and enhance flavors, most of the food will turn out lovely. The total came to over $110 for 2 people having the AYCE everything.

Dry Chilli Chicken (5/5) had the perfect level of numbing spice from the Szechuan peppercorn. It came with rice. They give you very generous amount of food.
The west lake beef soup is quite soothing and warm (4/5). I like my soup with less salt, but they give me water on the side so I just added more water in.
The Sour Pickle & Fish Soup (5/5) lunch special was one of the best sour pickle fish soup that I’ve had. They do not go easy on the spice level and the sourness, so I really love it
Hongsue beef noodle ($13) was very delicious (5/5) Generous portion. They can make it spicy upon request.
Legendary Braised Pork Rice Noodle ($16): spicy, savory, and a bit tangy (3/5). I like the noodle texture. The noodle soup was very oily, so I wished I could indicate the amount of oil I’d like. Pork chunks were small and fatty. I wish the pork was less fatty. Also, this was almost $19 after tax, so I wished there were more pork.
Everything else was delicious too
Service sometime slow and sometime quick. They all are very nice.

I ordered the crab Rangoon, crispy chili chicken, and spicy beef. Everything was fantastic. The crab Rangoon was perfectly crispy and creamy, the chicken had just the right crunch with a flavorful kick, and the spicy beef was tender and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous, and the food came out hot and fresh. I will definitely be coming back to Legendary Spice.

Absolutely wonderful place! The food was delicious and *so* flavorful. (As you can see by how the photos were taken after a few bites, it’s so yummy that phone doesn’t eat first.) The service is excellent and super friendly. The atmosphere is cozy with amazing decor. Free champagne after 5 pm is such a fun perk. We will definitely be returning!

Absolutely loved this place! The all-you-can-eat hot pot was delicious with so much variety to choose from—fresh ingredients, great broths, and something for everyone. The drinks were amazing and really elevated the experience. On top of that, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I had such a great time here and will definitely be back!

i think the best part of legendary spice was the service, truly such kind waiters and waitresses! it made the experience so much better. the food was delicious as well, we got the sole fish, string beans, flat noodles, and spicy chicken! but the service and atmosphere really sold it for us. we also had a huge group and they accommodated really well!! would go again

Located on the east side of the U of MN campus, you will find Legendary Spice. There’s plenty of off-street parking unless there is an event of which any restaurant would be hard to get to. We walked in and were greeted immediately and sat down. The vibe and decor are mostly Chinese, with a hint of Japanese flair. The music didn’t quite match the atmosphere at all, but it was not a big deal. The front of the house explained the ordering system using the tablet. If you are not comfortable with tech, I’m sure they would order for you. We ordered a few seafood dishes and dumplings for appetizers. The flavors were spot on and deliciously spicy for our main courses.
I didn’t care for the presentation of the dumplings as half of them came broken and outside of the wrapper, which caused the meat to be dry. Also, we received the dumplings after one of our main courses came, so sequencing was off. For these two reasons, I dropped my review by one star. Overall, the flavors were excellent, and I will be coming back to try some different dishes.

What a gem of a spot! Every dish bursts with flavor, and yes, our forks definitely beat the camera to the table. The team here is warm, welcoming, and clearly loves what they do. The ambiance feels like a stylish hideaway, complete with decor that deserves its own photoshoot. And the complimentary champagne after 5 pm? A dazzling little surprise that made the evening sparkle. Already excited for our next visit!

First time here. Excellent food, excellent find! Highly recommend. I gave 5 stars overall and everything individually got 5 stars, I gave 4 stars for service only because it’s sort of N/A, as it’s not a typical service model. (You basically order via an app at your table with a tablet they provide.) With that in mind, there can be a small amount of clunk in the ordering process managing their tablet. Notable that the folks working were kind and welcoming even with the less traditional service model. We ordered the Eggplant and Peapods, The Kung Pao Tofu, and Dry Chili Tofu- all dishes were beautifully prepared, fresh, and well flavored. The overall aesthetic was cheerful and modern. Again, absolutely recommend and will be back. Super delicious.
