Legendary Spice is a Sichuan restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 317 SE Huron Blvd Unit A, Minneapolis, MN 55414. It’s a local option for diners looking for Sichuan-inspired flavors, tofu dishes, and a meal near the University-area streets of southeast Minneapolis. Customer feedback points to a menu with choices for different appetites, from vegetable-forward plates to spicy beef, along with lunch combos and boba. If you’re deciding where to eat, the restaurant’s mix of familiar Chinese-American favorites and dishes featuring chili and Sichuan-style seasonings makes it worth considering when you want a flavorful sit-down meal.

Several customer favorites highlight the kitchen’s range with tofu and vegetables. Reviews mention dry chili tofu, kung pao tofu, and eggplant with snap peas, with diners praising the bold flavors and the savory, fermented-bean character of the dry chili tofu sauce. Other feedback calls out a fried beef spicy dish, though experiences with its heat level vary; chili-forward food can taste different from one diner’s expectation to another. Some guests find dishes delicious but a little oily, so these plates may suit diners who enjoy rich, assertively seasoned food. For a more planned meal, customers recommend the lunch combos, and boba is another option mentioned in reviews.

The setting is described by diners as clean, with plenty of seating, and reviews also mention parking as a convenience. The decor has been called eclectic rather than tied to a clear theme, so the appeal here is more about having space to sit down and share a meal than a carefully styled dining room. Customers report both positive and mixed experiences with service: some describe it as great or fine, while others have raised concerns about how an issue was handled. That range is useful context if you’re choosing a place for a casual meal and value straightforward expectations alongside the food.

Legendary Spice can work for tofu fans, vegetable-loving diners, and groups who want to compare dishes with different seasonings and heat levels. It may also suit a lunch outing, especially if you’re interested in the lunch combos, or a relaxed meal with boba afterward. Because customer opinions about spiciness and service differ, consider asking about a dish’s heat before ordering if you have a specific preference. The restaurant is listed as open Monday through Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to midnight, Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday hours are listed as 12 p.m. to 9:30 a.m., so confirm Friday hours before visiting.

The food was delicious but a bit oily. Would recommend their lunch combos. The boba is also really good.

UPDATE: I had to resort to a chargeback dispute with my credit card to get this resolved. The merchant refused to make it right. 3 weeks later, resolved in my favor. Very unfortunate. Used to really like this place. The food is great, but they absolutely do not stand by their service, and are apparently ok with customers being ripped off and having to do chargebacks. I cannot in good conscience give business to somewhere that operates that way. My wife and I placed an order for several items as seen on receipt, to be delivered with door dash. Door dash delivered the wrong order entirely (somebody else's order from a different restaurant). The delivery guy was obviously chatting on his phone by speaker the whole time, audible through my door. Not the restaurant's fault, of course. Not yet. Door dash returns, grabs the untouched wrong order from me, brings it to the intended recipient They bring my order to me. The bag reeks of smoke. It has obviously been gone through. The main expensive dish is missing, entirely, the side is mostly eaten, and the vegetable dish has been swapped with the one I gave back to them. So I received a thoroughly tampered with cancerous smokey bag, mostly eaten spring rolls, someone else's vegetables, two cups of rice, and some soup for $65. Now the real problem: upon calling the restaurant, they directly refused to do anything about it, saying it was DoorDash's problem. Except, doordash also requires you to resolve it with the restaurant, and even after talking to door dash and the restaurant being contacted by door dash, and the restaurant said they had to perform an investigation?! Worst customer service imaginable. I've dined here MANY times, spent 30x this amount or more, and you can be sure they'll never see another penny from me. They were good, but there are many other options in this area, and I will not abide by such lazy indifference. The delivery driver might not be their employee, but that person's unethical, lazy, idiotic attitude and zero work ethic has a direct impact upon me as a customer. If you use a delivery service, and the name of your restaurant is on the receipt, you best be prepared to actually stand behind your company's reputation. The onus of recovering funds for theft of an order should not be on the customer. Short-sighted and phenomenally bad service.

I used to come here somewhat regularly, but never again. Food is fine and I appreciate that there's parking. Service is hit or miss but overall fine. The decor is totally random and doesn't really have a theme beyond "I guess that looks Asian," but it's clean and there's plenty of seating. Thing is... I firmly believe that any place that any place that uses AI-generated trypophobia eldritch horror nightmare fuel imagery deserves to go out of business. I don't have enough energy to care about AI graphic design on the menu, for the logo, or in the bathrooms, but "circular butthole shrimp" and other monstrosities that don't even remotely resemble food are both a) wildly dishonest b) indicative of general laziness, poor judgment, and cut corners (use AI if you must, but you seriously aren't even going to look at the pictures to see if they look like food?) c) grotesque, unappetizing nightmare fuel. One look into those luscious, crustracean sphincters and my stomach shrivels up and closes its doors. Seriously. I would prefer that you didn't use AI, but if you have to, at least look it over and make sure it isn't repulsive nightmare fuel.

Our food was great. Dry chili tofu, eggplant with snap peas, and kung pao tofu. Looking forward to going back. Lots of authentic flavors. Great (pixian?) doubanjiang base for the dry chili tofu sauce. Nice work, Legendary Spice!

Ordered the fried beef spicy dish. I was warned it was spicy and I was surprised it wasn’t. There was chili pepper tossed all over it to make it look like it was spicy. Very disappointed. Overall service and atmosphere was great but food was eh. A friend of mine order the spicy tofu dish. It was spicy but no other flavor. I like the cucumber salad. I’d say was the only appetizer that was flavorful.
