" Dined here last week and was a bit underwhelmed. The food was not bad but didn’t have the authentic kick I anticipated from deep Szechuan flavors. The staff appeared overwhelmed and the service was slower than expected. The ambience was nice enough, but I cannot say it was memorable. I'm on the fence about whether to return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Legend 72 has quickly become my go-to place for Sichuan food. Their cumin fish is a must-try! It’s bursting with flavor, and the portion sizes are generous for the price. I've always received great service and have never felt rushed during my meals. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. I highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)
