I went to this place with my Chinese girlfriend. It was basically empty when we went there. We went there to relax, and so she could get her daily fix of Chinese food not because we were very hungry. We ordered very little and finished and left in a few minutes. The bill was high and still the Chinese hostess criticized us for not spending enough money and told us we should come back and spend more money next time. Although this was obviously rude and inappropriate and my money is none of the hostesss business, I said nothing because I guessed this is my girlfriends culture and she knows what is going on and when and how to respond. Later, my girlfriend realized that the price was so high for so little food and verbal abuse(the unsolicited criticism) because they cheated us. She had pondered why it took the hostess and server so long to calculate a bill on so little food when there were so few other customers and no distractions. Then my girlfriend realized that the hostess and server were discussing how to cheat me because I was white. My girlfriend said looking back on it, the hostess and server decided to cheat us as soon as they saw me, a white, a savage(ye3man4).

ABC is the place to go to fill cheap Dim Sum cravings! I come here for Dim Sum all the time and its even better now that they have $1.60 for most of the items on the menu! They usually have carts pushed around that have little trays of food on it, but you can also order off a menu and get it fresh from the kitchen if its not on the cart. Generally, the food comes out fast, and most of their items are good. I always eat the beef noodle, lotus sesame ball, char siu bao, shui mai, and really enjoy their jasmine tea. I usually drink 6-8 cups of it and it complements all of the fatty oily deliciousness that is in all the food. The restaurant has a nice big seating area and the service is usually good. Generally you get what you want within five minutes. The bathrooms of this place need work, as well as the parking, but it is LA Chinatown so its reasonable to expect it to be a little ghetto. Overall this place is definitely worth its value, for two people getting a lot of food its only $15-20 dollars with tip and tax included. Dim sum = YUM YUM!

For a detailed review, look up ABC on Yelp, but heres the skinny: this place used to suck, but stopped doing the Hoover a couple years ago when David Lam bought it and remade it. Now, everything about the place is better. Years ago, ABC earned a reputation for great food, but over the years the quality suffered, like a slowly dying entity that just didnt care anymore. David has renewed its glory. The food is superb, the service is fast, friendly and homey and with the small dining room, the noise level is never loud. Add to that very reasonable prices and great selections and the sum is a restaurant youll want to visit often. Were going there tomorrow, as a matter of fact.

All the dim sum in china town is good, but ABC consistently has the best dim sum at i think the best price/taste ratio. You can go cheaper, but it wont taste as good. Their pork buns are twice as big as ocean seafoods The HAR gow is cheapest- but the best as well - so best of both. They have a sit down which i have not tried yet, but they also have a take out section - just walk in order and enjoy. TOP marks for this restaurant!! They have the best prices, and the dim sum is satisfying. There are pricier places, but why pay more for almost the same quality.

Ive not had the pleasure of dinning in yet, but I have taken food to go. And brother let me tell you, its decent food. The price is very reasonable, there portions are ridiculously generous! I cant stress that enough, one serving will feed you plus one, and Im a big boy. Over all they are a tipical Chinese food joint that delivers consistently good food at reasonable prices, I personally like that they cater to any one with money. Anyone! That speaks well of this establishment. I like that my fellow humans get nice treatment here.

p平心而论菜做的还不错，但是对于服务却不敢恭维，服务人员非常没有礼貌，找钱时竟然没有告知我们直接将小费拿走了，真的是太过份了！我们走遍全球都没有碰到过这种情况，而且不管是信用卡和现金付款，都是给足小费的，到了这家店真是没有教养！！！

The lunch special here is amazing. Theres a big selection of items including fish ranging from $6.xx to $9.xx. You get rice, soup and a la carte size dish enough for 2. I went with a coworker and we ordered 2 dishes. It came with a big bowl of soup enough for each of us to get 2 to 3 servings. There was so much food I had to take the leftover to go. All for $15.xx total before tip. Best of all the food tasted great, much better than I expected given that price.

First time Ive seen a Chinese restaurant have an A rating in Chinatown. The food was good, service was a little slow. The only thing that needs improvement was they need to keep their bathrooms a little bit cleaner. Paper towels were thrown all over the place. Not their fault, but it could be improved. I just cant believe some people actually do that! I wonder if those same people would like their guests trashing their home the same way.

Typical dim sum place with ladies pushing carts around. Typical menu offerings. Chinatown location ok with free parking lot next to property. A bit dingy but food quality is good. Limited offerings and they do it well. if you want fresh egg custard or sesame balls, you can ask waiter or one of the ladies. Tastes so much better than cold. For the price Im giving 4 stars.

My family has been coming here since I was a young kid. Love the usuals, Chinese brocolli with oyster sauce, sauteed eggplant, and fish in black bean sauce. I also love their fast food side for times when I am in a hurry. The fast food side is also great for catering or parties. You can even get a whole Peking duck on that side.

Good food at reasonable prices. Service is fast and staff are friendly in spite of some language barrier. Parking space at the back may not be enough when there are a lot of customers. There is big parking lot beside this place which you may have to pay.

Randomly walked by this place. I saw ducks hanging in the window and a sign for dim sum. So I had to try it out. Food was delicious and nice portion sizes. I was in the fast food area, so I didnt get to check out the atmosphere of the restaurant side.

A Chinese-owned restaurant and most diners are Asians. My wife and I frequent this place in Chinatown because its along the way home to and from Los Angeles. It is also neat, the servers are respectful, the food good and top rated by the city.

Most folks dont know that dim sum is eaten for breakfast. This place is packed in the mornings and I think its the best time to go. Tables turn fast so the wait isnt long.
