What People Are Saying
from Google"I have always had great experiences here. The staff is very quick and friendly. The food is amazing. It's a very low key atmosphere. Small quiet place that always feels warm and welcoming."
"A busy spot, but for good reason. Spots fill quick due to the delicious, authentically prepared Chinese dishes. While there are several familiar options like spring rolls, or ABC's familiar looking ABC Chicken, the real draw, for us, were the deeper cuts. Chicken feet in black bean sauce, shrimp stuffed eggplant, pork and shrimp stuffed tofu skins, an assortment of steamed buns... the list goes on. These dishes aren't rehashes of the fried chicken balls in sugar sauces most think of when they hear "Chinese restaraunt". That isn't to say these dishes are inaccessible or "weird" at all. But consider that if your group is wanting piles of general's chicken or base shrimp fried rice, there are plenty of places to do just that. ABC Cafe is a great spot for those wanting to dive deeper. The food smells, looks, and tastes great. We usually go for the Dum Sum/small plate items which come in a few costs per plate and come out with 3-6 pieces. They are prepared and served right away and are all fresh. It's a great spot to converse and share in a variety of tasty foods. Staff are kind and attentive. Seating is pretty tight but not unlikeable. A nice spot for sure, but as stated, it can fill up fast with patrons needing plenty of time to chat and sample."
"ABC Cafe is our go-to for an authentic dim sum experience. If you’re looking for the 'real deal,' this is it. I love bringing my kids here because the atmosphere is welcoming and the variety allows us to try so many different things. We usually grab several dim sum items—their traditional plates are great, but it’s also a fun place to be adventurous with more authentic items like chicken feet or squid. We always round out the meal with a few of their rice and noodle plates to share. It’s consistent, fun, and easily some of the most authentic Chinese food in the area. A must-visit if you want a true dim sum spread!"
"I hate to say it because this place came so hyped, but, meh. The crab Rangoon came out so full of fry oil that we had to pour them out on the plate. I had the ABC Chicken and found it extremely bland. Combining the chicken with the rice really exasperated it. My wife had beef chow mein which was equally bland. We also had the pork sui mai. That was the most flavorful item. The pork was delightfuly light in texture but wonderfully tasty. Overall I was really underwhelmed probably won't come back."
"Always amazing! I love the ABC chicken and egg drop soup! Place is pretty small but definitely worth the wait if there is a crowd. We always go on Christmas day, and yes, it's packed, but that's how you know it's good! Have also gone just during a regular weekday and usually not too much of a wait then. Staff is efficient and succinct. Don't forget to try their hot green tea!"
