This place has great dim sum - wide variety, always fresh. The place is crowded but it huge. They also have dim sum to go.

Dim sum served partly by menu, partly by cart. Wait staff took a long time to refill our teapots. Dim sum had stronger flavors than I'm used to at other Cantonese dim sum places. It did get quite crowded as the lunch hour progressed. Nothing spectacular, but easy parking in a shopping mall near the freeway.

We came here for seafood on Thanksgiving and our waiter was rude and impatient, even rolling his eyes once. We could hardly understand him and they have a large menu and naturally we had questions. We asked for another server at the front desk and were told we could not have one because he was one of the owners. I... More

I've been impressed now each time with the food quality. The food each time all came out hot, the tastes were all clean,... More

We had a party of 8 and was lucky to get a table on a Saturday night without a reservation. Unfortunately, there was a wedding celebration and we were seated in the same room. Food was slow to come out and the waiters seemed to be rushed. Food was ok though.

If you are in the San Mateo Area, this is one of the better places for dim sum. On the weekend it can become quite busy, but if you are there between 11:00-11:45 am, you chance of getting a table right away is fairly good. The pricing for dim sum is about average. While the resturant looks very modern, the... More

My family and I had an unforgettably terrible experience on July 4th. Came here for lunch between and the incompetent ABC staff didn't give us a purple parking pass to put on our dashboard, so our car was towed which cost nearly $500 and wasted 3 hours. We confronted Sam the manager and he yelled "Your fault, you should have... More

We have only eaten here twice, but WOW! Everything is excellent, but what really brought us back was how fresh, well cooked and fabulous the vegetables were. The fish is also fabulous. You can tell it is also very fresh. Last time we were there we had a whole garlic crab, it was over the top wonderful.... Tonight we did... More

located in a strip mall in Foster CIty, ABC offers excellent chinese seafood. Also, during the weekday as well as the weekend it offers fresh dim sum which is quite good. Service is uneven and you always feel a bit rushed by the waiters/waitresses. Nonetheless, it is good value.
