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

Best legitimate Chinese bakery in the area. We love the baked bao buns and the sesame balls!

It was my first time here and i can't believe been missing out on this amazing dim sum spot my whole life! There's no seating and there was a line of about 10 people that went by fairly fast because the workers were efficient and fast. The service was great as they're friendly and provided everything we needed. We got the hargow, steamed bbq pork bun and shrimp rice noodle and i highly recommend getting these items. I'll definitely come again to try more! 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

ABC is open early and their dim sum is decent. I mainly stick with the siu mi. As with most restaurants they do a certain things well and a decent job on other items. I will always get the siu mai especially for a road trip. 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

After trying alot of different Chinese food spots, I had to give it up to this spot for always being consistently delicious. The place usually has a line but it moves fast. They are primarily cash so come ready. The dim sum is soild and my go to are the shu mai and baked bbq buns. Most items here are tasty so you always leave with a full bag. read more

The staff isn't always the friendliest. The food is decent but they use 5 spice in some things, which just isn't my favorite. It gets pretty busy so get there early. Still worth a try. read more

Food is great. Service is good. But the cost is too much though. It keeps going up but the size of the food is a bit less. Always a long line. read more

Excellent Dim Sum....servings are oversized proportions. Although line can be long, it goes by quickly if you know what you want. Is a great place to get Pork and Chicken buns and sesame balls and pineapple buns. read more

The food is always good. I always get the pork shumai and the shrimp shumai. My daugther loves thier pork baos and the hotdog bun, we always get those 4 items. I haven't really tried alot of the other items but they all look delicious. The only thing that sucks about this place is that the line can get long depending what time of the day you go. Sometimes around lunch time the link can wrap around the building and the wait can be about 30 mins or so. But overall I come here about once a month just to get my dim sum fix! read more

Came here on a Sunday morning with a line of about a dozen people in front of me that moved quickly. The place is small but decent run of options for takeout dim sum. 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

When I arrived, there was a short line inside the shop, but it moved quickly as there were many ladies working around the store. They sell a variety of breads and dim sum, as well as mooncakes. The price is quite affordable. If you have a big party, it's worth getting a dozen of their items. Be aware that they only accept cash and debit cards, not credit cards. The plaza has plenty of parking, and their shop is located near the I5 Florin Road East exit. read more

In my opinion they have some of the best Dim Sum in Sacramento. Everything is cooked daily. Their dumplings are huge and the value is good, especially these days with prices so high on everything. My favorite is the baked BBQ pork buns hot and fresh. One is enough to fill me up. It's a far drive for me, luckily, because I would come here more often. 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

We went on a Sunday around 1pm, there was a line but it didn't take too long! We probably waited less than 15 minutes. The workers there kept track of our big order. We ended up getting 2 dozen shomai, and Dozen Baked Buns, 4 Egg tarts, 6 Shrimp Ball, 6 Dumplings and 6 of the Fried Dumpling. The lady also told us it would take 5 minutes for a new batch of baked buns so we said okay. I forgot the price but I think it was under $120? Which is definitely not bad. We ended up having this food for the next couple days! Would love to come back to try more of their food! read more

Usually always an excellent experience. There have been a few instances were they made a mistake or forgot something so we had to turn around and ask for it. But overall the main spot to get baked and steamed bao. Their baos are always consistent and well made. Their hot dog pastry is also a great item as well, but sells out faster than there other staple items. Inside is small and line can build up fast but it can also move pretty quick too. read more

A hidden Gem on Florin Rd. There's so many delicious treats you can try. But a must try is the Egg Custard tart. Don't let the long line scare you the service is fast. No seating everything is to go. read more

Yes, I'm giving this take-out style dim sum bakery a strong 4.5 stars. Simply because their food is good. I don't come here for the ambiance, there's nowhere to even sit down, not even the service. Just the food, it's yummy ;). Finally, I found a place that actually has more than decent dim sum around here. Came here on a friends recommendation and this place did not disappoint. The dim sum here is hot steamy fresh, and flavorful! Every single time I come there is a long line out the door. Don't get turned off by this, the line moves pretty quickly since this is not a dine in type of place. You pretty much just point a what you want in the glass counters or just let them know your order. Come early! They do run out of the good stuff, I would say don't come after 12 noon and expect everything. I've come as early as 7:30am, and that's just because I happy to be in the area. Here's my favorites that I get all the time; siu mai, har gaw, the pork buns (not the curry ones), egg tarts, and the plain bag of bao buns! They take cash or debit only! If you pay cash you get a 5% discount. read more

It's too expensive for the quality of the food. The food doesn't taste fresh. I give them 2 stars for the good service they have and the choices of drink selection (soda cans and bottles juices). The restaurant is clean. I'm not going back. read more

Great place and great food. Long lines but everyone is so efficient that it goes by quickly.

This place was great long lines. The dim sum was great.. steam manapua and baked manapua were great. Pork hash was so yummy. The sweet rice cake were great. So good we went 2 days in a row. Staff is very patient and polite.. but they work and their own pace. Love it. read more

Stopped by when I was in Sacramento-not quite as yummy as I remembered. The potstickers were flavorful-with hint of ginger - and huge pork yumminess. The chicken curry buns were also yummy. Shu Mai was tough, not flavorful and had gristle or something too chewy to eat in it-not delicate at all. I do love that they are locally owned little gold in the wall. read more

Not as good as before and the service either. Sad.... Taste is just not the same not worth posting a picture

Great place to get dim sum if you don't want to deal with the hassle of ordering from a restaurant or eating inside a business. This is more a Togo dim sum spot. Food was decent and price is okay. I've been here twice now and there was a line each time, but it moves pretty quickly. The food is good, but will add up if you're not careful. The desserts are okay. There are other places that do it better. The buns are decent as well. Service is typical of a chinese/asian place, seems unfriendly, but there is no rudeness or intention of it. Place is small though so best he prepared with you're order once you reach the register. I'll stop by when I crave dim sum on the go. read more

No wonder this place is a Sacramento favorite. This place stays busy. The staff were very kind and helpful. I ordered the sui mai and had to try it right away in the car. It was steaming hot, but it was sooo good to eat while warm. When you wanna buy sui mai by the dozen, this is the place for you. Next time, I want to try the pineapple bun and shrimp dumplings. read more

Can never go wrong with ordering any of the items this place has available. Everything is fresh and tastes delicious. I try to stop by whenever I'm in the area, seeing as I don't live nearby. My favorite items are the bbq pork bun and the egg tarts. They get busy, so I recommend to go early in the day before they sell out of certain items. read more

Great little bakery with limited dim sum assortment. Things are fresh, hot and good selection. We went around 11a during NY day and there wasn't much of a line. By the time we left around 1120a, the line was out the door. Would call this spot more of a bakery than dim sum but things were good! Got a bunch of baos (BBQ, pineapple, curry chicken), several mochis, and a bit of everything for dim sum to try! Would def come back and recommend at least going once. Since it's grab and go, food does get cold quick. A re-steam at home works nicely! read more

Although these had to travel a long way, from Sacramento, to here, but always well worth it. Some of the best Char Siu Bao's I have ever tasted. Maybe it's just because I've been having these since childhood, but I don't think I have tasted any better. Sure, some people prefer the steamed bao, I prefer the baked ones. These were a gift and will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy.... read more

Love this place. The dim-sum items are always good. This will always be our go-to place for a quick dim-sum fix. Price is good and service is always prompt. Parking is also very convenient. read more

It's always hot as heck in there! They have a great system and get everyone in and out in fair time. Food is always great and it's many people's GO TO for dim sum. I know people who drive all the way from the north area and even way out in Folsom to get their food, that speaks for itself. read more

ABC is awesome! Amazing shui mai, huge potstickers, great pork buns of both the baked and steamed variety, egg tarts - you name it. The littles love it as much as we do - especially the jumbo chocolate chip cookies. Word of warning - things sell out early, and the lines can get long (like around the building out the door long). So come prepared to wait, and get there early for the best selection! read more

*CASH AND DEBIT CARD ONLY* If you're looking for a place to grab dim sum to go like many of the shops in SF, this is somewhere to check out, pricing is per piece not "set" like other places. No seating to eat your food so be prepared to eat in your car if you're really hungry. Got there at 12:15pm on a Saturday, they had a good flow of customer but no long wait as shown in some of the pictures. I did feel a bit rushed in making selection especially since it was my first time there, but that's just the nature of business so make sure you look at the menu/prices and what's in the windows before you ask to be served. The food was ok for the price BUT I felt like some of the quality was not as great specifically the items with the rice wrap/layer, it was a bit thicker than I'd prefer. Overall it this isn't the same quality you'd find at the shops in SF but it'll do. If you have the time , I'd check out another place down the street , dim dim food read more

We have been coming to ABC bakery for years! It was a quick and easy spot to get our favorite dim sum goodies. This past year it has been disappointing with the quality, customer service, prices and portion size. Apparently a change in ownership is the factor. The set up of the bakery is still the same. Cash or debit card only, they no longer take credit cards so be sure to have cash with you! The size of the sui mai and shrimp hargow are a lot smaller. My favorite steamed sweet rice cakes are smaller and not as good as it used to be. The chicken feet were our favorite and the flavor is now a bit different. Not in a bad way, but when you expect flavors to be a certain way after so many years, you can certainly taste the change. We easily spent $75 on this trip as prices have gone up too. The ladies working are not nice and not friendly or welcoming like the last owner was. We can't even get a smile anymore. Too bad as they have been a staple in the sacramento community for so long. I may need to find another bakery we will love and will be welcomed when we walk in. read more

I've been craving a baked bbq pork buns and chicken buns and after researching I could ABC bakery on yelp. I am glad to say the food was so delicious it tasted so fresh. As well as the buns we also picked up some peanut mochi, egg custard, and peanut butter cookies. The mochi is now one of my favorites, it was so fresh and soft, not too sweet. The cookies were a surprise to me being crispy but not too hard, still have a soft middle. Last but not least the egg custard was delicious and rich something you need to try. Although they were very busy and packed with a line out the door they were very nice and didn't rush. I will return back here again sometime soon! read more
