Came on a Sunday morning around 8am! The menu is very easy to read and they have so many options to choose from! The line wasn't too long this morning. The cashiers taking orders were very nice and efficient, happy to answer any questions I had. I ordered 3 pineapple buns with filling, 2 sui mai, 2 shrimp ride noodle and a beef rice noodle. Most things are ready right when you order but because it's made fresh, when they run out there is a wait sometimes. When I got the pineapple buns in my hand they were still nice and warm, a decent size as well compared to some dimsum spots. The filling was nice and sweet, not the typical nai wong custard but a coconut, thicker filling that was nice and sweet. The bread was so soft as well and the crust was nice flaky and crunchy. It was very satisfying to bite into, no complaints here! 9/10 The sui mai was piping hot when I got it as well. They were very big and meaty and so fresh when I bit into them. Super juicy and fulfilling to eat! 8.5/10 Lastly the rice noodles, which are my favorite of all time dimsum foods. The shrimp one had such a good bite to it because of the shrimp. The rice noodles were thin and soft just how I like them! The beef one I wish had a bit more beef/beef flavor to it but still good! In addition the sweet soy sauce they give is a good balance of sweet and salty as well, would def recommend! 8.5 Overall I would definitely come back! Such a good place to pick up dimsum to go! I saw the sweet rice cake was very popular as well and would love to try that next time! read more

Yes please, this spot is my kind of restaurant. They always have a good amount of options and the pricing is very fair for what you get. My only problem is that I come in with a plan, and want to leave with everything. I think they prefer cash but I think they take debit cards now, I'm used to bringing cash though. Depending on when you stop in the line may be long, but they are pretty quick. This also means that while you're waiting in line you should be planning your order, because you'll want to be ready as soon as it's your turn. I really like the pork bao, shumai, and shrimp dumplings, but I try to get a variety of items and try new things when they're available. The parking lot also has plenty of spots so it makes it easy to stop by. It's great for a quick meal or to buy for a group. Definitely a crowd pleaser. read more

This place has has made some changes in their rude attitudes and customer service. We use to order here a lot but their service was pretty bad, they didn't let you order in advance and they stop taking cards for a while as I could remember. So we stop going here for a long while, but we have heard from some friends they have been much better in service, they let you order in advance now & take debit or cash only. Their buns are delish and they have good dim sum. The lines are no longer as long as they use to be when we got there around 930am on a Saturday. We waited about 3mins for our order to be taken and the gal that helped us was super nice. If you're looking for some good Asian pastries or dim sum this the place is a must try. read more

My first time hearing and trying this place. And everything was good! My favorites were the siu mai and chicken feet. Very nice workers and had a line almost out the door. Would come back! read more

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! read more

Line Up! Bao Down -Sacramento's Steadiest Staple I've been coming here for nearly 3.5 years after a dear friend mentioned this place to me, and if that doesn't already say something, let me spell it out: this bakery is worth your time. I don't hand out praise lightly to bakeries or dim sum places, but the quality here has been reliable every single visit. The BBQ pork buns set the standard-soft dough, balanced filling, and just enough sweetness without being over the top. The egg tarts are equally impressive, with a flaky crust that actually holds up, filled with custard that's smooth and not cloying. It's rare to find both texture and flavor this well-executed. Service deserves mention too. The staff work quickly, and even when the line is long (and yes, it usually is), it moves at a steady pace. On one occasion, I arrived right before closing and they still went out of their way to steam fresh siu mai for me. That kind of consistency and work ethic doesn't go unnoticed. Be realistic: if you show up late in the day, expect the most popular items to be sold out. The smart move is to come early or call ahead. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and there's a wide range of bao fillings beyond pork-chicken, curry beef, pineapple, green onion, even a hot dog bun if you want something different. My staples are BBQ pork bao, steamed chicken bao, pineapple bun, hot dog bun, and green onion bun. The siu mai and fried pork dumplings also deserve attention. Everything holds up, nothing feels rushed or sloppy. Really quick counter service ambiance like place. read more

It was my first time checking this place out after work. I attempted to go on a Monday and found out they're closed so I tried again on a different day and was able to come in. My favorite was the peanut mochi as it was very soft and good quality. The shrimp dumpling was also good but a lil on the pricey side. I wonder how they compare to a dim-sum restaurant....I was told they are cheaper. But you do have to go here earlier as they run out of items fast. The red bean cake was good and they were out of the red bean mochi. I also tried one of the spongy rice cake slice. The ambiance was neutral, as it was a small mom and pop where they just have a line where you order and leave. It would be nice if they could have seating outside for those who want to eat or on a lunch break. Overall, I plan to return to try the items that were sold out when I first came. read more

line was out the door multiple times, but moves fast. would recommend bringing cash for smaller orders and knowing your order or writing it down while in line. great takeout dim sum! ordered in both cantonese and english read more

Important: Cash or Debit only, no credit cards/check Parking: there's a lot Wait time: with a long line, 1 cashier, longest ive waited was 10 minutes Dont expect them to greet you when its busy, but expect to know what youre having by the time you get to the counter. When its not so busy, take all the time you want and browse until youre ready to order lol My go to orders every time I stop by here Any flavored pork buns Shu mai (pork hash) iykyk Custard tarts Rice cake For the manapua truck goers back home, the pork hash definitely hits with this one. One pork hash is almost the size of your palm. Yea dat! Rice cake is a hit or miss, sometimes light and fluffy, sometimes overcooked. Custard tarts always good whether the crust is crunchy cuz it was baked a lil longer or it has that soft bite, the custard filling makes up for it. Its not too sweet and sometimes can taste eggy, if you dont like that then the custard tart isnt for you. Ok the buns is why I had to lower my ratings because these guys are known for their buns. The filling is great, whatever you choose, the filling is full and thats why people like it but I have a problem with the bun itself. Ive tried this place numerous times that I only order 1 bun hoping for a good bite lol Whats wrong with the bun? Its not cooked all the way through, as thin as the bun is I have never understood how its not thoroughly cooked. I dont care if the bun is thick or thin, I dont want to see uncooked dough. This is why I dont recommend any of the buns because ive tried all the different filling buns and my only issue is taking a bite of the bun and seeing the dough not fully cooked all the way through. stomach ache fr. Service is always good, place is usually clean and busy from opening to closing. They have a lot of treats to choose from which is why I continue to purchase from this place. read more

Stopped by this bakery on the way to Reno and so glad we did. No dine inn strictly to go. I really wanted to try the pineapple bun pork BBQ but they were already sold out and just ended up trying the regular baked bbq bun which was good and had a lot of meat inside. We also got some chicken feet,shrimp har gaw,pork dumlpling and let me tell you it was huge,meaty and not dry, sparerib with rice noodle and brisket rice noodle all were amazing. We tried apple turnover and probably was not my favorite. Overall will definietly come back for some dimsum and bbq buns. read more

ABC bakery has been a Sacramento favorite for probably decades. Nowadays, there are many more places in Sacramento where you can buy dim sum. But, ABC bakery is still the place you can go to for a tremendous variety of foods that you can't easily get elsewhere from a singular place. That's quite a feat. And, they've managed to keep their prices reasonable and continue to churn out fresh dim sum throughout the day. Ambiance is no frills. One line, know what you want. It's a cash or debit establishment so remember that before you step into the queue. The line generally moves well as long as the customer knows what they want and orders swiftly. The slowness is almost always due to the customer because the workers hustle to get people in and out. My favorites at ABC bakery include the shrimp dumplings, bak tong go, siu mai, and pineapple buns. The buns (bread) themselves are fantastic in the pineapple buns, bbq pork buns, and curry chicken :pillowy and tender. But, the bbq pork filling and curry chicken filling are average. read more

I'm literally so mad at myself for living in Sac for over 20 years and only trying this place today. I saw a review on The Taste Duo's Instagram and finally decided to give it a shot--and let me tell you, they weren't lying. The hype is real. Almost everything we ordered was amazing! Pineapple buns - Yass!! My new favorite. Absolutely get them. I'm honestly sad I only bought two. 10/10. We also tried the shumai, shrimp roll, hargow, sesame balls, egg tarts, steamed pork buns, fried pork buns, and the mochi with red beans. The mochi was the best I've ever had, hands down. The only thing I didn't care for was the egg tarts--they were a bit too eggy for me. The crust was good, but I prefer the filling texture of 85°C Bakery's version. We went around 9:30am, service was great, even though there was a line, they kept it going pretty quickly. Clean nice little shop! Can't wait to go back and try even more! read more

It has been a while since I have been here. I used to come more often when I lived closer. I heard the bakery was under new ownership. I called ahead and ordered three dozen BBQ Pork Buns a head of time for a work function. When I went to pick them up. I saw a sign for cash only. This was a very inconvenience for me. Now a days, I just don't carry cash anymore. Good thing my bank is across the street. I went to get cash and went back to the store. Now, I look at their prices on their board. The prices of the buns are not the same as online. They have raised their prices. So now, I'm short of cash! I went back to my car. I remember I had a bunch of quarters. I remember, they use to take credit cards. I guess under the new ownership, they don't want to deal with the fees of the credit cards. But they can put the fees back to the customers. There are ways. It just became a hassle for me, and I was pressed for time. Truly and inconvenience. The BBQ Pork buns were ok. The ratio of meat to bun was not there, little meat. The flavor was not as expected, a little bland. I remember the buns were a lot better. read more

I've always wanted to stop by and on many occasions I attempted to stop by I always left because of the very long lines. I finally had a chance last week and of course the lines were long. I waited about 30 minutes before I can place my order and was excited because I thought the long lines meant the food was amazing. I ordered pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, barbecue pork buns, and rice wrapped with chicken. After I got home, I tried the pork dumplings and shrimp dumplings and found that there was a slight after taste. I couldn't really pinpoint what it was whether it was the white pepper that was overwhelming or what it was. The portion is generous. The baked barbecue buns were fluffy and round, but the stuffing on the inside was rather dry. I'm used to the filling being savory. For me, I prefer my local dim sum spot and just thought to check out this place to see what the hype was about. Oh I also wanted to point out. It's cash or debit card only no credit card. read more

Got some dim sum from here a few weeks ago from a family friend. I'm Chinese and know a lot of good places around here. Not super impressed by the bao, especially. Their recipe has changed so much over the decades that it isn't what it used to be. Other dim sum was okay..would much prefer other places like dimdim, or going all the way to Santa Clara and sf. Somehow they're always super busy despite having mediocre dim sum. read more

This review is based on food only. I do love ABC Bakery but found a little surprise in my bbq pork bun today! Good thing I felt the little wirey thing while chewing, before swallowing it! read more

Perennially great food. This time around I got some egg custard tarts, pineapple buns and steamed shrimp dumplings. Is it my imagination or did the dumplings get smaller? They're still a very decent size but feel.smaller....or maybe im bigger these days. These are excellent. The shrimp taste and texture of the wrap as always is excellent. The pineapple buns have a good mix of pineapple flavor and sweet bun taste. The custard tarts are my favorite...I feel taste even better cold. This place and been remodeled and expanded and looks good. Still.too crowded on weekend mornings and may require a bit of a wait. read more

I came on a Saturday about 1:00, there was a line about 20 deep. I had the Steamed Rice noodles with brisket, very tasty, $5, rating 5 out of 5. I also had 2 eggrolls, awesome, 5 out of 5. Hot dog bun was 2.5 out of 5. I also had 3 steamed pot stickers, 4 out of 5. There is no indoor seating and the they only take cash or ATM. read more

We learned about this place through cousins who would bring their egg tarts to family gathers and we happened to be passing by and decided to stop by to bring egg tarts to a friends gathering and I'm SO GLAD we did. They were a HUGE hit with all our friends - reminding everyone of the egg tarts we all grew up with in SF - the light flaky crust, along with the super light and flavorful custard! AND these were the REGULAR size egg tarts - nowadays alot of other places made them slightly smaller - this is the "what I grew up" size! Big and PERFECT! I just wish we lived closer - but then again - we may be eating this all the time if that were the case! LOL... We also grabbed their chicken bun - and what a surprise. I usually get them where they are steamed (white bun) but theirs come baked - what a nice surprise. It was tasty and different with the different bun and we loved it. We also got the sticky rice chicken - OMG - so MUCH flavor - and the sticky rice had additional flavor that complemented the chicken. They are very efficient - if we could of we would have ordered more but will definitely stop by here when we are in the neighborhood or passing through. read more

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. read more

This is a local legendary bakery and after one visit I can see why. At 10 am they were still packing in people looking forward to their weekend bakery treats. They offer a large variety of baked goods and steamed dumplings. They are famous for their BBQ pork buns, which they sell by the dozen or singly. We made a variety of selections. Taro roll, BBQ pork bun, mochi tart, etc. My favorite was the egg tart with an outstanding flaky tart crust and their apple turnover. While waiting in line a helpful customer ahead of us gave me some insider tips to get the freshest pork buns, and shared which delights her kids liked best. A sweet S. Sacramento moment for sure. It's obvious why there are lines snaking out the front door here, but the able and efficient bakery staff work quickly and effectively. Definitely worth the visit. Note: cash or debit card are the only payment forms accepted. read more

This was my first time having this type of food. Ive never been a fan of pork buns and bao..etc. My husband has tried this type of food before and he said this place was really good. I thought it was just ok. We got a pork bun and a chicken curry bun. Idk if its the texture or what, but i just don't see the hype. I can say though that the meat on the inside was juicy and flavorful. No extra sauce or anything was needed. The service was just ok. They seemed annoyed that we didn't know what we wanted right away. My husband will probably go back if we are in the area. read more

Yummy bao and dim sum! Service is quick and always a line that should tell you just how good it is! The ambiance is cafeteria style. No worries not here for cafeteria setting but for the food! Eat here! But plan for lines! read more

Still on this personal journey to find the BEST takeout dim sum in Sacramento and this time we visited ABC Bakery. I've heard many different things about this place and decided to give it a shot. This takeout spot is located in the shopping center near Raleys on Florin. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the staff as well as a huge line of people waiting to get their grub on a cold Sunday morning. The ambiance is alright for a takeout spot. I might've seen one table inside but it isn't really a spot to sit in and dine. They offer variety of different goods like bao and potstickers but I was looking for Siu Mai and Har Gow. While I did like the siu mai and its GOOD flavor , I didn't really like with the Har Gow. The filling wasn't very flavorful and tbh wasn't my favorite of the many places Ive been to. ABC bakery is good but I expected more from all the things I was told about its I would come back but it's honestly not my preferred destination. read more

Haven't been back here in a while. Decided to make a stop since I've been wanting some chicken curry buns. Yum . They're the only bakery I know that makes it and it always satisfies the tummy . Besides the curry buns the bbq pork buns are delicious too. I got an order of the bbq steam rice noodles as well. The foods are still delicious but the prices have definitely gone up. Will continue to support in the future when I want more chicken curry buns. read more

I decided one weekday to do a food run in Sactown and this place made it on the list. I came on a Tuesday morning and there's a short line as I went inside. It was a quick process and I was next in line in no time. These were my orders: pork bbq bun, hotdog bun, shumai. The pork bun was so soft and filled inside with savory bbq. pork. The hotdog bun is not really a bun but more of a bread that had 4 cut up pieces of hotdog on top with green onions. The bread is soft as well and has a chewy texture to it. Shumai, is a bit on a hard side. It sits on the steamer and once it cooled down it got a little firmer in texture as you chew. The place is small, busy and filled with delicious goodies. There were a good amount of people in line but they go fast and you wouldn't have to wait long. Prices were affordable and the people who worked here were receptive especially if you have any questions. A must try whenever you're in the area. read more

This bakery sells affordable and delicious dim sum! There was a line when I was there on Friday noon but it moved relatively fast (about 15 mins). There were a lot of variations so I had to type the items that I wanted on my phone and ordered it at the cashier. - mochi custard: delicious! The custard had perfect sweetness & the mochi was chewy: perfect combination! - peanut mochi: good. The mochi was chewy and the peanut filling had a perfect balance of salty & sweet. - egg custard: good. The custard was smooth & had a perfect sweetness. The shell was flaky and crispy. - sesame ball: ok. The outer dough was crispy and not too thick. The red bean filling was good but I wish there was more of it. - fried pork dumpling: good. The dough was crispy & chewy. The filling was tasty but too little. - pork siu mai: delicious! Each one was big so it was worth it for the price. The filling was very good: tasty and full of meat. - BBQ pork bun: delicious! The bun was soft & perfectly baked. The bbq pork filling was tasty. It was savory with a little sweetness. read more

For some reason I was craving some dim sum. I remember hearing about ABC Bakery and decided to stop by. The bakery is a bit hidden as it's not in the "main" lot. It's a small place for basically take out. No seats, as expected. The service was good. I guess I should've checked the menu here on Yelp before stopping by, because they didn't really have much beef and chicken items. I was really hoping for some beef siu mai. Anyways, the only beef thing they had was the rice noodle. I decided to try both the beef and the brisket rice noodle. Also got an order of their regular chicken bun. I found the chicken bun bland. I wouldn't recommend it. The beef rice noodles were just ok. I prefer the brisket and it seems to have more meat. The rice noodle itself was plain, no additional brisket in it. The regular beef rice noodle was just ok. I had better. I guess my expectations were too high, and I was just disappointed that there's no beef siu mai. If anyone knows a place here in Sac that has good beef siu mai, let me know! At least now I can say I tried this place out. But unfortunately I will not make a trip out here again. read more

The har gow and siu mai we solid, and very meaty with good flavor. The spongecake was slightly fluffy and reminded me of my childhood. The shrimp and beef rice noodles were solid as well. prices are slightly less than what you would pay for sitdown, dim sum, but good place for a quick snack. read more
