    Steamed bun $4 prior to tax
    Vic C.

    ABC Bakery is located in the same plaza as O' Reilly's Auto Parks, specifically right next door to Florin Nails & Spa with a large shared parking lot. I came by here with my husband on a Friday afternoon, around 1:45 pm. There was a line of maybe 7 other parties ahead of us. When it was our turn, we ended ordering: 2 shrimp balls $2 each- These shrimp balls were nice and crunchy, as they are wrapped in spring roll wrapper strips and then deep fried to give you that nice crispy crunch. My husband and I both enjoyed these, but they were a little oily and wished they were drained a little bit more. 2 haw gaw $1.50 each- These were good. They tasted pretty standard. The size for the price was also fine. 2 shiu mai $1.50 each- These were also good and felt the size was acceptable for the price. 1 steamed bun $4- This bun had sausage, a hard boiled egg and pork inside. Although the filling inside was tasty, I didn't like that there was so much of the bun and not enough of the filling to match. ------------------------------ (Total= $15.23 after tax) Please note that this place is CASH only (or you can pay with your debit card). Unfortunately at the time we arrived, ABC Bakery was already out of cheong fun or rice noodle. Actually what really surprised me was that the to go dim sum places that I have gone to in Sacramento don't seem to normally have cheong fun on their menu. But back home in San Gabriel Valley, where I live, that seems to be a staple at every to go dim sum eatery (I always order cheong fun). Service was friendly and wait time wasn't too long, even though there was a line. The employees helping me were able to speak both Cantonese and English so you shouldn't have trouble if you come here. The next time I come by here, I will have to make sure to come much earlier so that I don't miss out on things that already sold out.

    Neighborhood Gem located on the back side of the Bel Air at Florin & South Land Park, featuring both baked and steamed buns, as well as dumplings and assorted baked goods strictly on a to-go basis. I got my favorite Chicken Curry baked bun, a BBQ Pork bun, and tried a Pineapple baked bun with BBQ Pork, a pork dumpling and shrimp dumpling. Every item is fantastic in flavor, but the star for me was the Pineapple BBQ pork bun, the combination of flavors with the Crust on the bun made me wish for more. They are usually very busy and can often be low on some of the buns as they also take call in orders . Dont be afraid to grab a dozen of the baked buns as they reheat easily and make for a nice snack or meal. (I can't speak for the steamed buns, baked buns all the way for me)

    One of the best in Sac, dare I say best in NorCal! Always fresh and delicious. I got their pineapple buns for the first time and OMG I have been missing out! Of course, got the usual bbq buns and a variety of dim sum items. The egg rolls are underrated; thinking about them now as I write this and now I'm craving one! Also, I was here on a Thursday around lunch time and it was PACKED.

    Mochi with BBQ pork and one with Red Bean

    Always a good bakery stop for takeout dimsum! Today I enjoyed the mochi charchui pork and the mochi red bean for a late afternoon snack. Hit the spot not my favorite pork but very good.

    BBQ Pork Buns
    Kandy F.

    My better half came in and picked up a to-go order for a birthday get together! It had been a while since we've been here. We had the BBQ Pork Buns and some of the Apple turnovers. OMGOODNESS!! The BBQ Pork Buns were fresh! I'm embarrassed to say I was a pig and scarfed it down so fast! The apple turnovers were very soft and flaky. So good!! Overall, an excellent place to have lunch, dinner, or take to a potluck! I was told that our order was quick and the folks here were friendly. I'll be back for other menu items.....

    Chicken curry bao
    Isabel T.

    Jus wanted to add updated menu, ordered 3 chicken curry baos for 7.83 total. Kinda mid, lacking flavor and needs more filling.

    Large cookie. Bigger than Crumbl's.
    Michelle C.

    Food is delicious! 5 stars. Mochi is cheap yet high quality and so soft and fresh. Only reason I'm giving it four stars and not five is because they are either cash only or debit. No credit cards accepted. No dine in; take out only. Located behind the Bel Air grocery store.

    Baked pork bao
    Julie S.

    This is the best Chinese bakery in Sacramento. It's been around forever but the quality has never deteriorated over the years. Every time I stop by, my baked pork bao and curry chicken bao tastes the same. Spot on deliciousness. It's about $2.50 a bao and they only accept cash, no credit cards. Can't wait until next time!

    Needs sauce and white onion
    April F.

    Have been enjoying their baked bbq buns forever. Bought 3 dozen and noticed they aren't saucy and without white onion. The inside filling is almost dry. If they could make it a bit saucy and add white onion they would be even more perfect.

    Pork shumai
    Yesenia R.

    My absolute favorites here are the potstickers and pork shumai! When I'm craving them, it's so hard to find a place that makes them fresh but ABC Bakery has the *best* in Sacramento. I can always count on getting my fix here. You can tell everything is fresh because they're constantly refilling the trays. The potstickers are HUGE unlike other places where they're tiny, these are packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. You definitely won't be disappointed. Other items I love are the shrimp balls, curry buns, BBQ pork buns, sesame balls, and pork balls (sorry if I got a few of the names wrong!). Everything I've tried has been delicious. If you go early, you can beat the long lines that often stretch out the door. Plus, they close early, so definitely check their hours before you go. The shop itself is small, so only a few people can fit inside at once but it's totally worth the wait. I'll definitely keep coming back again and again!

    I've been going here for the last 3-4 years and this was one of my go to's when passing by on my way to Roseville. In the past year or so I've noticed that the quality of their food has gone downhill. The steam bun use to have a lot of stuffing but now it's nothing but pieces of fat that I personally can't stomach. Their Sui-Mai was always top notch, but now it's weird tasting and the texture is weird. They must've changed the chef here because a lot of their menu items are not what it used to be. I think I'm done coming here as the quality has gone downhill bad.

    Reener B.

    I absolutely love this pace! I ordered 2 shrimp balls, 2 shrimp dumplings, 2 custard mochi, 1 pineapple bun bbq pork for $13$ total and it was the perfect meal!! Everything was so delicious, perfectly fried and steamed! Even though I waited a little bit on a Saturday lunch hour rush, it was worth it! I love the grab n go feel. Perfect meal to take for picnic dates or day trips!

    Pork bun
    Darci K.

    ABC Bakery isn't new, in fact it's been around for ages. It is, however a well kept secret that should be discovered often! Finding the exact location if you're not familiar with the area, may take a minute, and waiting in line will be frustrating, so get there early and be prepared. ABC has some pretty tasty pastries, food items, and more! You'll absolutely want to try everything and should! The prices are pretty reasonable, the staff while they are super busy, are friendly under pressure. It's easy to see that they are baking and packing orders at a rapid rate. And it's all done with precision. This is one of the best Chinese bakeries that I've been to in Sacramento. Pork bao buns are a must. Scrumptious, filled with meat, and you can't eat just one. Pineapple buns are a must. If you know, you know, and if you don't, you need to find out! Seriously, you can't go wrong with any of the items. We ended up ordering what it felt like everything and the fam Bam enjoyed everything down to the final crumbs. The lines are absolutely worth the wait, and if you're looking for a pro tip, get there early in the morning because it's a guarantee that by 10 AM they will have run out of quite a few things!

    Heads up - closed 7/3/23 - 8/2/23

    I believe the item is discontinued, I didn't see it displayed or on the menu last time I went. But you can always call to ask!

    There has been some chatter that ABC may decide to close for good in the near future due to a raise in rent costs. Can anyone confirm if this is true? WE CANNOT LOSE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD GEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for a while before moving to Davis for school, so our standards are pretty high. Unfortunately this is not going to be my new go to. Although the flavors of the food were pretty OK, we found everything to be really soft. Our shrimp and chive dumplings were literally disintegrating and my chicken feet were too soft. The sticky rice, however, and the tripe were delicious sui mai, and ha gao were pretty good, with the sui mai being pretty juicy. We paid $100 for 10 dishes! I know prices have gone up everywhere but this felt pretty steep. Overall, I don't think we'd come back. I would rather go to South Sacramento and eat dim sum there and then get my Asian grocery shopping done. Restaurant itself looked like a standard Chinese dim sum restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

So I'm planning my next trip here this week so I can enjoy the amazing cucumber salad (so fresh, crunchy and garlicky), their pepper beef clay pot (sizzling rice at the bottom for the win and big portions), their spicy tofu (umm what?!? So crispy) and their awesome skewers (the pork belly is my favorite). The space is small, so if you're planning on dining in during peak times, you may want a back up or take it to go as they only have a handful of tables inside and a few tables outside. There is parking but it is shared with other business so can get busy. The service is wonderful! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and everything came out relatively quick. The clay pot does take some time (they need to cook up the rice to get that awesome crunchy bottom) so place your order for that first, and then look at the appetizers and skewers as they come out fast.

It was nice enough that I tried to come here on a weekend night and it was packed full of families which is great but probably where I should have thought about it more. We went up to the counter and were told to wait a few minutes. I saw that a large table was clearing up so I didn't mind waiting. During this time a group came up behind us and I thought they were after us. One of the server waved in our general direction after cleaning up and splitting the table, so I thought they were gesturing to us since it has already been 10 minutes of waiting. Wrong, it was to the group behind us. Maybe it was communicated in mandarin that they had a reservation, I'm not sure. I waited for the next empty table, which was also taken by yet another group that magically appeared behind us as if they knew they were in line. I decided to leave after this. My issue is that I looked and talked to the staff multiple times and at no point, did they indicate there was a waitlist, nor did they take my name, or anything about people in front of us. It was really frustrating because being told it would be a few minutes set the wrong expectation. This is not the only place to get skewers so if you're left confused where you are in line, just come another weekday, speak mandarin, or go somewhere else like I did

Despite there being endless selections in Sacramento sometimes the American Chinese options are .... bleh ... They are either too oily. Mediocre taste. Overpriced. It's hard to find one that really stands out. Recently my coworkers and I all pitched in on takeout from here for Lunar New Year and ordered five dishes as takeout. One of my coworkers was the one who recommended this spot. Let me just say the food was incredible. The seafood chow mein was the standout dish out of everything. Loaded with octopus tentacles, scallops, shrimp. Feel like half the time you get seafood options these days they skimp out but this place did not disappoint. The fried rice was a little more unique than I've personally tried before with pieces of beef and cabbage. But still very tasty. And the pork dishes we got including the sweet and sour were just incredible. One thing I do want to mention was some pieces of the pork did have a bone attached, but I honestly didn't mind it much. The flavor made it up for it. Also inside of this place looks very modern, clean. Since we only got takeout I can't say for certain service for sit down but ordering and getting our food was simple. The staff were very kind and friendly. Again, THANK GOD I finally have a good Chinese food option. No more oily salty food or Panda Express.

And there were pieces of fresh ginger. This dish was very enjoyable. would order this dish again without hesitation. 2) bitter melon and beef in black bean sauce. Another nice flavorful dish. My only suggestion was just a little too sweet for me. I understand the goal is to balance out the bitter by adding sugar but I actually like the bitter flavor and will ask them to eliminate adding sugar to this dish in the future. But if you like this dish with a bitter and more sweet taste, this is your dish. 3) combo plate: chow mein and chicken with broccoli in garlic sauce. Just a basic american style combination dish. Personally, not my type of dish, but my dining companion enjoys these type of dishes. She said the chicken was tender and there was planet of chicken in this entree. But she never received her egg roll. Overall- i would comeback just for the non american style chinese dishes. there versions of traditional chinese dishes are better than the american chinese style dishes.

    Asian Pearl Restaurant is a true time-honored staple of the Sacramento Chinese culinary scene. Over…read morethe years, like any classic institution, it has seen its ups and downs. Yet, what amazes me most is its sheer resilience. In an area packed with over 120+ competing restaurants, Asian Pearl has managed to survive, adapt, and consistently draw a crowd. After dining there recently, it's easy to see why they still hold their ground: exceptional food and unbeatable value. Right now, they are running an absolute steal of a promotion. Following Mother's Day, they dropped the price of their live lobster to just $19.95 per pound--a massive 50% discount from their regular price of $39.95. We ordered a 3-pound lobster and had it tossed with egg noodles (the absolute best way to soak up all that incredible, savory seafood flavor). The lobster was perfectly cooked, sweet, and snapping fresh. To round out the meal, we added two classic dishes: Hong Kong Style Ribs and Beef with Tong Veggie (Tong Cho) and Chili Pepper: A fantastic balance to the rich meat and seafood, offering a great crunch and a subtle, fiery kick. The portions here do not skimp. The three of us ate our fill and still couldn't finish everything. (Take a look at the pictures to see just how generous these plates are!) While the food and prices are a triumph, the front-of-house experience can be a bit of a gamble. The restaurant seems to be running on a skeleton crew, with only four staff members handling the entire floor. Because of the lean staffing, service can be hit-or-miss. If you go in with the right expectations regarding service, you will have an incredible meal. With food this good and a live lobster deal that cuts the price in half, Asian Pearl proves exactly why it has survived the Sacramento restaurant wars for so long.

    Although not the best dimsum (it's okay), still one of the better options for large family dimsum…read moregatherings. I do not recommend coming here for dinner. They are super busy during holidays and good luck with parking. :P
