Szechuan Legend Restaurant - Vaughan, Ontario

We had the fresh chili and ginger with lamb, sliced pig ears with hot sauce, deep fried spicy chicken, and stir fried snow pea shoots. All the dishes were flavourful and tasty, and both the chicken and pig ears were also fairly spicy (in a good way). We enjoyed it.

The restaurant is Szechuan cuisine, tasted very good. It is not busy when we visited Thursday lunch time. We didn’t wait much time for the dishes. I love the Kung Pao chicken with rice, beef mix with hot sauce. I will definitely revisit again.

Incredibly authentic flavours and the staff are so friendly! They were incredibly attentive and accommodating. The service was also quick and the food was delicious, especially the mapo tofu and the chilli fried pork! The portions are large and the prices are very reasonable

Szechuan Legend was okay. Honestly it's my feeling that there are less and less authentic Chinese restaurants in the GTA so my family tasked me with finding a new one for us to try. I chose Szechuan Legend based on the location and reviews. While I'm sure the dishes are ... authentically made, there were small things in each dish that we weren't used to. For example, the shredded pork with garlic sauce had napa cabbage as the main ingredient instead of bamboo strips, which is how we usually enjoy it. The sweet & sour pork was more sweet and did not have the usual orange colour we expect from the dish. The stir fried vegetables usually come with tofu puffs but didn't have anything but veggies at this restaurant. We did really like the fish fillet in chili sauce and don't have any complaints about the taste or size of it. Everything tasted good but we were just a bit disappointed at these tweaks that the restaurant seemed to make with these tried and true dishes that we have had numerous times. The price was also pretty high, we paid $95 (including tip) for 4 dishes and 3 bowls of rice. I'd say everything went up by 25%, as I can see the older menu through Yelp and Google and it seems everything we ordered increased by that much. I understand inflation, but it becomes less worth it to eat out especially when the dishes aren't made to your liking. We will probably keep searching for a restaurant that suits us. Read more

The portions were HUGE, the flavours were great, and the price was very good. The fish with pickled mustard greens was especially fun to eat as it comes with its own little stove that keeps the pot warm as you eat.
