There is a robot for delivering dishes which made my kids excited. Food is good. Less than $20 per person.

I recently dined at a fantastic Shanghai restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The Shanghai soup dumplings were a standout—delicate yet bursting with flavorful broth, the perfect balance of savory and satisfying. The Dan-Dan noodles were equally delicious, with a rich, spicy sauce that complemented the noodles perfectly. The dish had just the right amount of heat and depth. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance was cozy, adding to the overall charm of the place. It's definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone craving authentic Shanghai cuisine.

Omgoodness!! Northern Dim Sum like we’ve never had before. Hearty, made in house wraps and sooo delicious, had the pork buns, hot chili wontons, soup dumplings and chive pockets! Added garlic green beans which were excellent. Generous portions, left overs were enough for dinner. Can’t wait to go back.

Came for dinner on Sunday 6pm. Was seated immediately without waiting. Server did not provide printed menus but there was a sign at the table with a QR code for an online menu. Ordered pork soup dumplings (XLB), dry fried spicy green beans, Legend fried rice, and scallion pancake beef shank roll. The XLB were exquisitely wrapped with a thin wrapper, lots of well seasoned pork filling, but only a bit of soup. Dry fried green beans were delicious but quite salty - would be good paired with white rice. Scallion pancake beef roll was crispy, flaky, flavourful, and delicious. The Legend fried rice was loaded with toppings like shrimp, Chinese sausage, corn; a bit oily (you can see it on the spoon in the pic) but very tasty. Overall, all of the food tasted good and was great value for price. Service was amazingly fast. Bathrooms and tables were clean. I can see this being a go-to spot for Coquitlam locals to catch a quick casual meal of Sichuan Chinese food. I'm looking forward to coming back to try their dry spicy hot pot and chili boiled fish!

Came here for dinner, and we’re very happy with the food and flavours. The xiao long bao’s had lots of soup inside, and the cumin spiced lamb is a must have. Our waitress was very attentive and came by often to refill our tea, and our food was served quickly.

Great value lunch deal with a dish, rice, and a drink for only $12.95 everyday. There are 7 dish options to choose from and their combo meals are also discounted during lunch hour too. Sometimes the food can fill you up for both lunch and dinner due to the quantity. When we went, there was only one person juggling the takeout orders, the dine in customers, and any phone calls so service may be a bit slow. Once we ordered though, the food was out within 10 minutes. Some of the dishes are spicy so make sure to note that you don’t want spice if you can’t handle it. On street parking is limited but you can park at Coquitlam Centre near the Walmart and walk over.

My family came to visit, so I brought them to a Chinese restaurant. Their food is delicious and the portion is enough. My parents love the seafood and tofu soup and the fried fish fillet with sweet corn sauce. The fried fish is well fried and the corn sauce is a thick sauce instead of watery, so the sauce can stick to the fish. We have also ordered green onion beef and sweet soy glazed spare ribs. The only thing about the restaurant is that they don’t have round tables which my family is used to in a Chinese restaurant. As most of the seats were taken we have to sit very close to the area where they are standing all the time and tray of dirty dishes. Even though they do have something to block off the sight but it’s still very close.

I m not sure why the reviews on google are so low, this place is AMAZING! It s weirdly hard to find chinese restaurants that use woodward mushrooms in multiple dishes. I ordered the beef rolls, veggie spring rolls, veggie fried rice, stir fried veggie noodles, chicken & vegetables, scallion pancakes, egg drop soup, and the chicken noodle soup. I had to stomp my feet the beef rolls were so good. Everything is flavorful, not too salty, and great portions for the price. You have a forever fan in me!

Daisy the hostess was really welcoming and kind. The food was served quickly (even by a robot)! This is l, I m my opinion, very delicious high quality authentic Chinese Food. My one of my sons highly recommended this restaurant as one of his favorite in the entire city of Coquitlam. For the quality and taste of the food, plus the hospitality this restaurant has exceeded my expectations and I recommend that if your looking for the closest to being in Shanghai dining experience, you might want to visit Legend House in Coquitlam by Coquitlam Center!

We went here for the first time, ordered dumplings, spicy ginger beef and beef stir fried noodles. The dumpling and ginger beef were great. Than our beef fried noodles arrived as a different plate, chicken stir friend noodles a completely different meat and noodle type so we sent it back. I have never had a restaurant redo the dish by taking out most of the chicken and just adding beef to attempt to rectify the problem. It was very obvious it was just recooked. We ate it and it was ok. But there was chicken in with the beef and everything. Super disappointing.

July 22, 2024

I ordered gingered beef and dumplings dumplings were okay but beef was way smaller than last time+ sauce was definitely mixed with water as there is no taste whatsoever. They either think i am a fool or they are fools themselves! Total disrespect!

July 22, 2024

The waitress is not friendly.The menu didn t say they don t provide free drink on weekends.We confused and she said I have a right that don t give drink to us. Food is bad , the sauce is so salty but the meat don t have any taste. so strange food..Canadian maybe like (?) but sorry I am Chinese .This restaurant is not recommended.Never Never.

Tianfus Xiao Long Bao (freshly made, not the refrigerated instant electronic kind, there are 8 in one basket! The skin is very thin and the soup is just right). Shaanxi Liangpi and beef burrito are must-orders every time, but the Liangpi is not available every time. It is said to be a limited edition every day. Its very delicious. This time I ordered the boiled fish recommended by the waiter. The meat is tender and delicious. Its just right for those who cant eat very spicy food. The portion of the dish is enough. I don t know how to adjust the sauce for the saliva chicken. My friend from the United States added it to the big wontons, which makes the wontons taste very special. The service is very good and the environment is very comfortable. Now I eat Chinese food out. The taste and price are good. Even though it is far away from me, I will go there again. Dinner for $20+ per person!

My go-to place when I am craving some simple and quick Chinese food! My favourite dish is their Sichuan Thousand Chilli Chicken. Its very tasty, the dish has well seasoned and crispy battered boneless chicken stir-fried with aromatics, chillis, and green beans. Ive ordered this dish many times over the past few years and the only criticism I have is the consistency for the food. For takeout I usually order through DoorDash which doesnt let you choose the spice level for this dish. Ill ask for this dish to be spicy in the special instructions but I find that they usually dont make this change (not sure if this is a DoorDash issue but whatever). The most recent time Ive ordered this dish it was a little bland and super mild for some reason (maybe different chef?) which was a little disappointing. Ive also gone in-person a couple of times too. The booth seating is nice and comfortable, the tea is all you can drink (within reason haha), and the service is great!

Had lunch with my Indian friends who don t eat pork . One of them really likes Xinjiang big plate chicken (Dapanji), which tasted spicy and a little bit salty. They also like the vegetable spring rolls. Not recommend fried vegetable dumplings. Garlic sweet eggplants was not bad. Services were friendly.

May 22, 2024

Worst Chinese food in Coquitlam. The beef smells bad and you can not chew. I told the waitress she told me because you paid this price .

Updated review (Jan 24, 2024): Arrived at 5 - the only dine in party at the restaurant. I promplty ordered soup dumplings at 510 (what brought me here). Ordered rest of food (chili wontons, ginger beef, wonton soup, szechuan cucumbers, rice) at 520. 530 beef comes by itself. Half the beef was cool/cold upon arrival amd beef was too chewy. 530 I ask about soup dumplings, rice and cucumbers. 535 wonton soup comes and chili wontons. 540 rice comes. 550 asked about soup dumplings and find out they didnt put them in. I told them the quality is not up to par with usual and that we have been coming for 5 years and this was our worst experience. Nothing was offered or done to make up. They prioritized take out customers over dine in. Despite being loyal, regular customers for years and having preciously recommended this restaurant, we will not be returning anytime soon. For transparency, here is my previous 5 star review from 6 months ago: Our go-to in the area. Consistently good quality. Large menu with lots of variety for everyone. The soup dumplings and szcehuan chili wontons are my faves.

Arrived at 7:30pm on a Friday and it was completely dead. We were the only table (next door, Singapore Hawkers was packed) We haven t dined there since pre-covid. So was surprised as it use to be packed. Ordered: Hot and sour soup 3.5/5 - pretty good but could have been a tad more vinegary. Although the pork which was coated (maybe in corn starch) had a bit of a strange after taste (maybe old) 2 bowls of beef noodle soup 3/5 - hubby said pork had an after taste (maybe similar to the soup), but I m not sure since I didn t have any 2 sleeves of xiao long bao 4/5 - I thought these were pretty good Gai lan 3/5 - looked a bit strange. Veggies were massive and a bit wrinkly. Not bring green and coated with oil like I am use to seeing it. Hubby thought it was over cooked and too soft. I didn t mind it and thought it tasted better than it looked. Fried rice 3/5 - was ok not bad no good nothing memorable Cumin lamb 3/5 - lack lustre. Looked a bit dry tasted ok. Not as good as I remember in the past. Beef roll 2.5/5 - this is a green onion pancake with beef wrapped in between and hoy sun sauce. The wrap wasn t light and fluffy like I am use to. It seemed like it was deep fried (thus harder). Had a bit of a strange taste. Couldn t put my finger as to what was off though. Service was great 4/5 Bill came to $110 before tip. Not sure we ll go back, if we do it will be a long time before and the restaurant needs to be full. Maybe that s why it was empty.

We have been to many Szuchuan restaurants in the Lower Mainland and this place is definitely one of our top choices! Being a Szuchuan restaurant it is easy to end up having most of the dishes tasting similar - but it s not the case here. We had Fu-qi-fei-pian, Ma-po tofu, and Shui-zhu beef, all with fantastic but distinct flavour! When we went, the staff was busy packing take out orders and taking her lunch but stopped to say hi and chitchat when she was done. Will come again!

Yummmmm! We finally went to eat-in at our favourite Uber Eats restaurant. First off, street parking is free on Sundays! So I m sure happy that s the day we went. Food was delicious as always, if not better than delivery. Portion was a bit more and each dish is about $1-2 less than priced on Uber Eats. The only unfortunate thing is how LOUD the fan is inside. I wonder if that s why there were no other people eating there & a bunch of pick-up orders By the way, you can get 10% off pick up! *wink* Our favourite dishes are the Sichuan dumplings & Sichuan stir fried noodles. If I could buy that sauce they use for their Sichuan dishes, I would pour it on everything. Loooove it.

The food has improved compared to the last time I visited, which was several years ago. The soup dumplings ( ) were juicy and the wrapper was just thick enough so that it wouldnt break when you pick it up. However the soup inside was slightly too salty for me.

The food is poor, the pickled fish and fish are not fresh, the pea shoots are very old and they are taken out for cooking. The middle-aged waitress (from the north) has a very bad attitude and is very impatient. I will not go there again.

December 22, 2023

The dishes are more in line with foreigners preferences for Chinese food... This is nothing. The main reason is that there is a waitress who is very attentive to foreigners and cant even call us when its our turn. She feels that she is pretending to be busy and cant see us eating. I have many friends. I m very depressed and will never go there again and don t recommend it to anyone! This restaurant has the worst service in Vancouver DO NOT go

December 22, 2023

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant, mainly because the woman at the front was incredibly rude and unethical.

This placed used to be so good, but its really gone downhill! The soup dumplings were disappointing - the filling was just okay, but the wrapper was so thick, be prepared for a mouthful of bland dough! Chili oil noodles were bland. The spicy fish was bland (I dont know how it could have been bland when there was so much chili, but theyve done it!). Veggies were weirdly super salty. Theyve changed the menu too. You used to be able to see into the kitchen and watch them hand-make dumplings and everything, but theyve covered it up now - minor, I know, but it was such a nice touch before! The service was pretty good, but otherwise... Big disappointment. We wont be coming back.

Just had a family dinner in the boxing day. Had a little bit surprise over so many recently bad reviews. Ordered sweat sour pork, steam buns, Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage, and dandan noodle. Other than a little bit salty, all taste so good.

Noodles were so poorly cooked they were just gelatinous masses of bland, doughy mush. Soup dumplings were okay, and the sweet & sour pork was decent even though its misleadingly labeled spicy when it doesnt have even a whisper of warmth. Overall the quality was somewhere around cafeteria food, and I definitely feel like I overpaid.

Food quality has gone down the last couple of times I visited the place. The dumplings used to be so good, and the other dishes as well. Unfortunately the food does not taste authentic anymore and everything is just plain.

December 22, 2022

they get mad if you don t tip lol

Food was way better several months ago, The ginger beef tasted like sweet and sour beef even after we asked them to make the food spicy. However the service from the Chinese lady was very friendly.

December 22, 2022

One of the cooks was not wearing mask in the kitchen. When I pointed it out to the server, she became defensive and rude. I will not be coming back.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME/MONEY OR HEALTH ON THIS PLACE. Some friends and I ordered dinner from here last night, I have a shelfish allergy and my friends were very specific on every single dish when we ordered it do not have any shellfish or fish sauce or anything cooked in fish. Not only was the quality of the food terrible, the portion sizes for the price were not worth it. And I had an allergic reaction to the food immediately! Never will we order from here again

Came here for some Xiao Long Bao and I wasnt disappointed. Not sure what all these negative reviews are about but I would recommend coming here for lunch and order off the Dimsum menu which is reasonably priced given the huge portions.

Short conclusion: I will definitely go back for certain dishes but take out only. Dishes we ordered: A. Pan fried beef rolls: The flavor is good. The wraps are hot and crispy which I dont understand why are inside of the beef slices cold? B. Shanghai soup dumplings: Good fillings and flavor. But the wraps are too thick. It was thiner in a few months ago. C. Boiled blood curd and internals: Generous portion. The whold dish was hot but some of ingredients are cold....The Sichuan peppercorns used for conish but not in the flavor. Plus, the intestinal didnt clean week and contents the strong unpleasant taste. D. Scramble eggs with shrimps: Good. Alittle bite of greasy tho. And again. Even it was freshly made dish but the shrimps were cold... E. Deep fried tofu: Hot and crispy. My friends and my favorite dish today. Soaked in the chilly oil from dish D brought more of satisfaction. The service was friendly. Unfortunately, the kitchen vent wasnt strong enough and the whole restaurant was under the smokey greasy smells which not good for my breathing and lungs issue. I ended up packing all of dishes home. Loving their tea. I thought its black tea with rose flowers. After talking to the lady. It is the leechee black tea.

December 22, 2022

terrible foods. stir fried beef was raw and cold. other dish is too salty. will not come back again.

December 22, 2022

Customer service was horrible, my order was either forgotten or the preference was give to the group of 4 who came after me and had their meal ready. If you go yourself expect the delays. After I realized other people were served, I heard them saying there is one more order, which was mine, so another 10 minutes minimum, I took off and went to another store. For the price they charge, I had a nice meal at the store next to them at Singaporean Hawker. Result: My lunch brake was ruined and I had to take out food and eat at desk while working. If the restaurant doesn t treat people properly, why give them business when there are so many other options? P.S: Restaurant was not busy (25% Capacity) and I waited 20-25 minutes overall. For the record, I have tried that place before and taste of the food is okay, but not something wow to wait for it and stand in line. Thank you for that experience.

Lovedddd this place. 10/10. Get the soup dumplings and green onion pancakes !!

I have visited/ordered from this restaurant for a few times, and at least half of the visits/orders were problematic. Smelly chicken in dishes, poorly packed orders for delivery causing leaking. Worst part is they never admit their mistake and never apologize. I should have stopped ordering from them earlier, but I will from now on. If you don t want to ruin your mood for dinner, don t choose this one. For the particular case today, they have packed two bowls with soup on top of another box like a tower, and the only thing in between those two bowls was just a tiny cardboard which is smaller than the bottom of the bowl. No doubt the whole package would fall apart. And they tried to blame the Uber Eats driver for that. Fortunately we have the whole incident video recorded. This is really frustrating! Nobody should suffer from this kind of poor services!

Gary is a great owner and has kept the quality of food here high for years. Favourite Chinese restaurant in coquitlam and Ive been to a lot. Recommend the thousand chili chicken, the mapo tofu, the minced pork with green beans and the Xiao long bao.

December 22, 2022

i wish i didn t have to even rate 1 star. my first time experience dining here earlier tonight was pretty okay. same as any restaurant. but then come time to pay. two girls were at the front desk, Mimi and someone else, and Mimi helped me with the card machine. because my experience was quite average i decided i m not going to tip. Mimi then proceeds to ask me once my receipt is printed why i did not tip. excuse me??? i found that very rude. never coming back here

SO terrible since new owners! It s been a handful of years since they took over and we thought to give the food another try since our last awful experiences. It use to be good food using fresh produce. The chilli green beans were hardly green, wouldn t feed them to our dogs. Use to be hand made noodles with flavour. Shanghai noodles, flavourless and most certainly not hand made. $80 in food and we threw out two entire dishes and will toss anything left. Never to return again!

Although the lockdown has been completely lifted, I came to Tianfu with my friends today but didn t see the expected crowds. I think everyone is still worried about internal use. I ordered three dishes today, including mutton and tofu soup, stir-fried bean sprouts, fresh pepper tripe and two bowls of white rice. What attracted us the most was the fresh pepper and hairy tripe. Look at the diced peppers, minced green onions, bean sprouts and hairy tripe. The colors match well. The price should be considered mid-range, but the plate of fried bean sprouts actually costs $20 95, which feels a bit expensive. Since the fried bean sprouts are not on the menu, I don t know whether Tianfu sets the price based on current prices or... unknown. The next time I come here to eat, I will definitely ask the price before using my chopsticks, so that I won t feel like I m being ripped off.

December 22, 2022

The service was so bad. There were only 3 other tables and they asked if we were ready to order 2 minutes after sitting down. We waited at least 25 minutes for them to come back to take our order and they never did.

Today we need to go through some personal biz that we have to lunch outside; Passing by and went in this restaurant, ordered a braised beef noodles, a Szechuan Dan dan noodles, plus a Sh ng ji n bao i. e. Pan fried pork bun. The portions of the two noodles are more than sufficient (in my standard), the taste is very good too, plus there is no feeling of thirst after. If you need to, you can ask for a light spicy for the noodles, but I believe that everyone can accept the regular level. Meat in the Sh ng ji n bao is full and the size of the bao is reasonable. With regards to the price, it is absolutely affordable for a lunch. Service is good too, it was lunch time and only one server, but the lady is very polite, she kept pouring us tea, when asking for extra things, she responded quickly.

December 22, 2022

Some of the worst service I have ever experienced I would not recommend. The food wasnt to good either.

December 22, 2022

Been here a few times for take out and love their hot and sour soup; so we decided to eat in for lunch, which was a disappointed experience. The senior lady server at cashier was friendly, accommodating and welcoming, according to my previous experience. She let us get the table ourselves as she was on the phone taking orders, which was totally fine. Then it comes the younger female server, she was rude the whole time, and you could tell she doesn t wanna be there. No smile, non- responsive to our requests (we always say thank you and she d just walked away with an attitude). There s no service at all; she basically took our order, dropped off food on table and that s it. No water refill or checking on us. When the first dish came, there s no tea/water/cutlery/plates/bowls on table. Resturant was not busy at all, only a few tables. And here comes the best part; she dropped the bill and walked away. We paid cash at the table and left. As we walked out, she chased us down and confronted us did you pay? I was shocked and confused and said yes. she asked again and I said yes! Cash is on the table! . It shows how inattentive she was! not even checked the table before confronting customers for not paying. The Legend house is losing customers for service like this, even food was decent. Not recommended and will not go back. P.S: the chicken dish we ordered was definitely different than the actual dish picture on their website.

But our takeout is always on time, which we appreciate a lot! Our go-to favorites: Si chuan broth braised fish (order with white rice), sliced beef with sour & spicy soup (also order with white rice), and Legend House fried rice, Legend House Fried Noodles.
