This is another one of those spots where I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! Hands down, the best Asian food (specifically TAIWANESE FOOD!) in Ann Arbor! As a Taiwanese American, it was so wonderful to discover this spot when I started school at Michigan and it was easily the go-to spot every time my parents came into town to visit me because obviously, we always want to have Taiwanese food!
My only light complaint about Asian Legend is that it can sometimes be inconsistent - at times, overly salty in its dishes or sometimes bland, but given how many times I've come here, the vast majority of dishes/food we get is wonderful and delicious and truly hits the spot! That spot being...my constant craving for Taiwanese food because it's truly the best type of cuisine!
Asian Legend has all my favorites, all my comfort foods, from the small dishes/sides like scallion pancakes to the larger mains like rice noodles with beef (I'm trying to translate all of these things over from the Chinese names for all the dishes in my brain lol)! But just trust me on this, everything here is delicious and just depends on preference, but I encourage you to order a plethora from all over the menu in different categories and then share it - family style, of course - with the entire table! Asian Legend doesn't have massive lazy susans in the middle of every table for no reason, after all!
In conclusion, if you're craving quality Asian food when you're in the Ann Arbor area, look no further than Asian Legend. It's - dare I say - a hidden gem and very understated in its outward appearance, so you might pass on by it without a single thought, but you just know that's further proof that this one is going to be a good one! Focusing on its food rather than on the environment! I'll take that over everything, any day! Love you, Asian Legend!
