Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.
Hours are published for 1 day a week. Typical hours are 11:30 AM–9 PM. It is closed on Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (718) 423-4888. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is legendoftasteup.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Whitestone is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Whitestone follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Authentic Szechuan flavors, friendly service and reasonable prices. Crispy chicken with ginger and peanut/ Lamb with cumin. Both dishes tasted 10/10. Generous portions with tons of flavor. Highly recommend, been here multiple times in the past and will continue to visit. Free parking nearby as well.

I've been a loyal customer for years, and this is by far one of the best Chinese takeout restaurants in the area. The food is consistently delicious, and the quality is noticeably better than your average Chinese takeout. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care, so you always know what to expect. I've tried many other places over the years, but I always come back because the food here is consistently excellent. It's hard to find a restaurant that maintains this level of quality, and they do it every time. If you're looking for Chinese takeout that's a step above the rest, I highly recommend giving them a try!

I love spicy food. Szechuan cuisine specializes in that, going for a mouth numbing spiciness. So I had to come here. The atmosphere is nice. They were playing country music, which I thought was funny. And the service is great. I got the lunch special, triple pepper chicken (as you see in the photo) with pork fried rice and wonton soup. The soup is perfect for a cold, winter day, and was absolutely delicious. The chicken, meanwhile, was nice and spicy (though I was expecting much spicier for 3 hot pepper emojis). Though, when I asked, they told me it was more "mild" — I gotta ask for spicier next time! But please get something milder if you can't handle spice — my spice tolerance is VERY high. Excellent food, excellent service, funny random country music. Five stars.

We’ve visited this restaurant well over a dozen times across the years, dining in regularly. It has also received Michelin recognition, which was part of what initially drew us in. Based on our most recent visit, while the food was not bad, it felt noticeably different from what we remembered from earlier visits. The flavors were more restrained, and the dishes lacked the boldness and depth that previously stood out. I wouldn’t say the food is poor — it’s still solid — but based on our past experiences, the dishes felt more moderate and less distinctive than before. Given its reputation and history, there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of flavor intensity.

The flavors were delicious. We had a 9 course meal, catered as part of a group. The food just kept coming! The location is in a neighborhood and only a few tables inside. The staff was wonderful. I thought the group price was a bit steep at $150 each but other than that we were kept very full and had a great experience here.
