China Legend is our go to! We love the Steamed Pork Dumplings, Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Tso Chicken. We lived in NYC for 8 years and never had Chinese takeout as good as here.

How I heard of this place: My mother-in-law asked us to stop by China Legend for a takeaway order of her favorite dish. Type of cuisine: Chinese fast food with an authentic flair. Ambiance: Set in a strip mall near Walmart, the establishment seems to cater more towards take-away pick-up orders, rather than in-house dining. A handful of tables and chairs are available at the walls on either side of the entry, though one table hosted a box of soy sauce packets, etc. Fluorescent lighting overhead, a counter with menu overhead leading back to a dark kitchen, the space doesn't come across as being anything that exciting. The service is friendly and quick. What I ordered: Singapore Noodles, which seemed to not exist on the menu. What I loved: The heat of the dish we ordered, the creaminess, the perfectly cooked vegetables and noodles. Why I loved it: The space is unassuming, but the service wonderfully friendly, the food great and the location easy. Cost: Average.

It had been quite some time since I have been more than happily satisfied with going to a quick service Chinese fast food place. I usually get chicken chow mei fun every time I go to fast food Chinese places. When I asked if they were able to make it with only the egg, carrot, and onion, the nice woman taking the order said yes, no problem. Let me tell you, I was THRILLED!!! Not only did they listen to my request, they actually made the order right! This is the only Chinese food place I will order from now when in the Carrollwood area. Also, the crab Rangoon was delish. 1000 points for excellent customer service, I have already recommended this place to about 15 people in the area. We will definitely be ordering from here again!!!

Oh my god... Ever since this Asian spot; (Asian Best)(Look it up: LEGENDARY); in my hometown (York, Pennsylvania) closed, I've been searching for someone that could mimic the quality of their food. This is my personal favorite and China Legend lives up to the hype and good ratings. I can't believe I had to come all the way to Tampa to find such amazing takeout. Staff was friendly and the store was super clean!! 6/5 stars.

I have seen China Legend on Yelp searches, and they have a higher rating than most other Chinese take out places. Since I was in the area today, I stopped by to see why. I found them easily in the Walmart shopping center on Gunn Hwy... and went in. They have some tables and chair for dining in, although they currently have them all shoved up against a wall due to pandemic. They also have a plexiglass pickup box at the counter to protect themselves and to protect their customers. System works well! A young lady took my order for the Lunch Special Sesame Chicken, and told me it would be ready in about ten minutes. Seven minutes later, I had my food. I did ask for chopsticks since they were not included... and received them without an issue. I also asked if they minded if I sat inside and ate, since I was on my motorcycle, and did not want to drive home to eat. She said sure, no problem! Very friendly and helpful. The Sesame Chicken was hot, crispy and very good... the pork fried rice included in the special was good also, and had more flavor than some of the other local places I have tried. The eggroll... YUM, it was one of the best eggrolls I have had in quite a while, really crisp, large, and loaded with tasty filling. The fortune cookie was crispy also... I have had stale ones from some of the other local places. China Legend is not the closest Chinese food to me, but I suspect I will be coming here more often... as it was definitely better! Highly recommended!

Fast service, good food Beef with broccoli was good. I had the small portion and it was fine. Their fried rice is really good. Egg rolls also good. My friend got sweet and sour chicken, it wasn't really greasy and the large portion was good to share

Sorry....l no pics to post. As soon as we got home, we started eating. I will definitely post pics the next time for sure. Yes....there will be a next time. It's so important to have that "go to" Chinese spot. You always know what you are going to get. And you can always count on some great food. I enjoyed the General Taos Chicken with Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll. The Egg Roll was soooo good. I will be getting 2 next time. The chicken flavor was awesome. The spice was just right. When you can warm up Chinese food the next day and it still good, you know you have found a winner. It was so good for lunch. My husband is very picky when it comes to Chicken Wings. He enjoyed their wings. Was made he only got 1 order. Lol. He also had the Chicken Lo Mien extra spicy and it was really yummy. I enjoyed it also. Overall great food. They definitely take pride in the food they prepare. Check the, out the next time you are in the area.
