Best Asian food in KC. Returning customer, we love this place and if it was closer to my house we'd be regulars. If you are not familiar with what certain things are, have no fear, the menu and tvs in the restaurant have pictures of EVERYTHING. It looks like a little mom and pop shop and feels like it as well. We got the Shrimp Spring Rolls, chicken dumplings, ABC Chicken, green beans, Combination Chow mein, and coconut roll. Everything was really good and our servers were very kind. We ordered with the mindset of having leftovers, which we did, but could help but eat the entire ABC Chicken entree . If you are a green bean fan, theirs are a must. The spring rolls and dumplings didn't stand a chance either lol. The combination chow mein was very good as well. The coconut roll was a perfect super light dessert for my wife and I. Just to give you an idea of price, the meal plus 2 sodas was around $70. A little pricy, but the quality made it worth it. And it would be cheaper if we stuck to the Dim Sum menu. read more

Tiny place that was packed at 12:15 am. Waited 15 minutes for table. Pork dumplings were pretty tasteless and doughy. Beef short ribs had a funny taste. We left half of both dim sum dishes. Our entree was chicken with black bean sauce which was pretty good. Service was good. read more

Enjoy the meal and service is great every time! The apps are to enjoy all! Definitely to commiting a visit at least once a month read more

This place is Amazing! It's hard you find good Chinese food and this lil hole in the wall is worth traveling to. The staff, ambiance and especially the food were all wonderful. Every single dish chosen was better than the first f rom soups to appetizers tto the main entrees.. We shared all dishes and it was perfect for our group. They don't take reservations so it is a bit to wait but its definitely worth it. They are located in a little strip mall off the main road so itt is easy to pass up. Great job ABC! read more

ABC Cafe - Dim Sum Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I'm so sad - my favorite meal of ginger and salty onion chicken was ... disappointing. Usually, this meal delights in every way with soft juicy tender pieces of chicken with the yummy dipping sauce and rice. Today's delivery while served hot, was tough to chew, not tender, not juicy, and more bones than savory bites. read more

ABC Cafe - Salty Ginger & Onion Salty Chicken- sadly not the normal yummy dish I expect - Dim Sum Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

You'd never expect amazing dim sum in Kansas City but here it is! Better than Vancouver and better than some of the spots in California. The flavor is rich and flavorful. The ambiance and setting is simple allowing you to just focus on eating read more

Not sure how I don't have a review posted about the ONLY restaurant that carried me through my second pregnancy truth be told. When I say the staff here knows me, when I dine-in to order they pretend to ask what I want knowing it's the same thing every time LOL jk they are doing their job probably hoping I try something new seriously if I could give out an award for consistency this restaurant wins by a landslide. Although, I could write an essay on how amazing this food is I will do my best to compile all of my experiences into one review. I'm the type of customer who looks for 2 things at any business I go to consistency and good customer service. ABC is the true definition of tradition being passed down from one generation to another. From the family working together when you dine in or carry out, to the food ALWAYS tasting the same every single time. The atmosphere is quiet and close, their set up encourages "family style dining". The staples for me that I recommend everyone try at least once: cucumber salad, beef short ribs, abc chicken, Singapore style rice noodle, chicken dumplings, chicken & shrimp fried rice, and the new additions egg & minced beef fried rice! My FAVORITE thing about ABC is that they will accommodate and make things how you want them to be made. If you don't like onions in a dish no problem, they won't be there! If you can't eat shellfish, but still want to try the dish without it, they will make it happen. For the longest time I had an ick during pregnancy where I didn't want my meat to touch my rice (weird I know) but they understood the assignment and happily delivered egg fried rice and now it's apart of the menu this is what Family Cafe's can do that big chain restaurants cannot - I am forever grateful read more

I already can't wait to come back here. I've driven by many times and just tried it for the first time. The menu seems endless in the best way and the prices gave me the freedom to try so many things. We ordered the shrimp wontons with chili oil (my only picture because I was just too into the food, sorry!), beef curry puffs, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), chicken chow fun, and bbq roast pork. My friend and I split everything, were so full, and only paid $50 total plus tip. Everything was flavorful, but the shrimp wontons either chili oil were the star - the dumplings were thin and steamed to perfection and the chili oil was both spicy and full of flavor, unexpectedly so - as a lot of chili oil seems to be heat forward and sometimes lacks flavor. The meat in the xiao long bao was incredibly tender. Everything was so fresh, brought right to us off the stove. Can't wait to explore more of this menu! read more

ABC Cafe - Shrimp wonton with chili oil - do not pass this up! - Dim Sum Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

The reason for 3/5- I am so disappointed. Out of all the times that I have eaten here I have never been disappointed. I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that. read more

Dim sum is my go to... but we don't have a good one near me in Omaha so when I travel it's the first thing I look for. I've been to ABC multiple times and we always love the food. Get there early there is always a line, but they take your phone number and text you when they have a table ready. Small un-assuming casualrestaurant with sweet servers and fast service. Try the Xiao Long bao they're great we also got streamed shrimp dumplings crispy spring rolls and custard buns. Have to come back to try more things. read more

I think this might be the best Chinese food I've ever had in KC. The only thing I didn't love was the crab rangoon. We sampled several dim sum items and the rest were amazing including soup dumplings, pork potstickers, BBQ por bao buns. We had 2 entrees. The beef chow fun was soooo good. The beef was literally so tender it melted in your mouth. The black bean chicken was fine but next time I'd try something else. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Tasty shrimp rolls. Didn't care for the scallion pancake because it was oddly chewy. Not busy at 3pm. Ordered from dim sum menu. Clean restaurant, nothing fancy. Kid friendly. read more

4 stars because this is the best KC has to offer, but in overall dim sum experience, probably a 3. Mostly gave a 4 because it surprised me that this existed. Water spinach was great and had plenty of garlic. Red bean pastry was perfect to end off the meal. Chicken feet were fine. Shrimp ha kao was also pretty decent. The shu Mai were okay but wished they were a little bit more seasoned. We also got soup dumplings, not pictured, but this was the worst dish of the ones we ordered. It tasted and looked like the pre made dumplings that Costco had made and sold a while back - this was pretty disappointing that it wasn't made fresh in house. Overall though, pretty good service. Not the typical dim sum experience with the carts - you order just with traditional menu. There's enough tables and seating inside with options for circular tables for larger family style dining too. read more

One of my favorite places in KC, an oldie but a goodie. Don't expect much from the inside-think small local Chinese place, but that's exactly what you want. Al la cart dim sum items made to order, served up hot and fresh. Some personal favorites include the shumai, bbq pork buns, scallion pancake, and salt & pepper pork chop. For dessert we love the sesame balls and the mango pudding! Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They do fill up quickly and don't take reservations, but worth the wait! Final review: 5/5 stars read more

This was a very cool foodie experience. Delicious and reasonable prices, great service!

The beef chow fun beats every other Chinese dish in the city. Tiny little restaurant but the best Chinese food we've ever had.

I love coming here. The food is very authentic Chinese dishes. I love their cucumber side dish and shu mai. My favorite dish of theirs have to be the salt and pepper tofu (so soft inside), chicken wings, and their Peking pork chops along with the fish roe soup. The service is quick so you don't have to wait for your food to come out especially when you are hangry. read more

ABC Cafe - Food! - Dim Sum Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

We were just a bit skeptical when we arrived due to it being in an unassuming location, but me and my daughter both agreed the food is very good! It is very authentic, much more authentic than we are accustomed to at our usual sushi or fusion spots. Service was excellent, they have a very large menu with a ton of dim sum and specialty plate options. They had a good selection of nonalcoholic drinks and several beers to choose from. Food came out very hot and fresh. Really enjoyed the shrimp dumplings in chili sauce, beef and snow, peas, and the shumai. read more

I continue to come to abc cafe because I like the family style format of abc cafe. You don't have to do it that way but it allows me to try a variety of items because there is a lot to choose from. I feel like this was a format I was used to growing up and it's hard to find it exactly like this as places try to appeal to a modern format. The food is always consistent and comes out fresh. There are some items I prefer more than others but everything is good. It is really more like comfort food to me and nostalgic and has some familiar tastes of food I grew up eating. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!! So yummy. Food was perfect, service was amazing, food timing spectacular, over alll AMAZING. 10/10 would and do recommend. My husband doesn't like most Asian food but he couldn't put the fork down. Only downside is we're were seated very close to the bathroom in a small hallway. People had to squeeze past us. However, we didn't really mind bc we were tooo busy eating read more

4.5 stars for the restaurant. It is located on the south side of Kansas City. We were searching for restaurants serve dim sum and this one show up. We got the pork and shrimp siu mai to start. It with four. Great to share. The shrimp dumplings we have is a pan fried. I recommend this dish because it does not have in Tampa. The next dish is seafood dumplings, I think is a bit smaller. Taste is there. My wife has the chicken feet and she said is very good too. The next dish is the xiao long Bao. This is good soup dumplings. The only comment I have is the chef's need to separate each dumplings with space and don't let them glued together. The last dish we have is the curry beef puff. I highly recommend this dish. Overall experience is good. Service is fast. Food comes out quick too. read more

We checked this spot out right at 5:30 on Thursday! It wasn't busy when we arrived but every table was full by the time we left. It's small inside with a counter area for staff to stand behind and a connecting kitchen. It was all clean and well set up. The menu was awesome as it had a ton of variety and photos of every item. The pricing was super reasonable too. We ordered a bunch and left full. It definitely wasn't my favorite dim sum I have had, just didn't taste super fresh and had an almost microwaved flavor. The service was quick but I could tell they wanted us to hurry out and didn't offer any recommendations or chatter. Overall I was happy with the amount of food for the price! read more

service was amazing. they didn't have any table available and waiter took down my phone number and called in 10 minutes with a clean table ready. ordered an array of things, my recommendation is the coconut shrimp and beef pancake. absolutely amazing food here. could not get enough to satisfy due to always wanting more!! waters were kept above halfway the entire time I was here. staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. I will absolutely be coming back, and I live an hour away! read more

TLDR: Food was mostly mediocre, service was bad. Was excited to try as I saw the restaurant on tiktok. We came in and were seated fairly quick. We ordered about 8 items as this was our first time and wanted to try a good variety. The food: We were served the wrong items initially, so I gave the other table their items. The squid in the Seafood fried rice was very bland and rubbery. The XO Wings tasted like plain fried chicken, which was disappointing as I was expecting salt and pepper flavor. The salt and pepper squid was tender, but the flavor was all salt and the squid was not crispy. The egg tart was soggy. The beef shank pancake was way too sweet, too much hoisin sauce and the portion was small for $10. The beef chow fun was my favorite dish we ordered, it had a good wok hei flavor. The crispy shrimp wonton's were good, very crispy and the flavor was good. The Service: Most of the staff did not speak English (Spanish), so it was hard to communicate. Ran out of water twice and had to wait on the other staff who didnt care to check in and had to wait for the check as the staff all took a lunch break at the same time. When we asked for a box the older asian waitress refused to give us a larger box for some odd reason. She was adamant that we could only get one large box even though we had two full entrees and extra rice to take home. Idk, it was frustrating. Our bill was near $100, why is it taboo to give a large box and why make a big deal over it? Will not be returning and will not he recommending to family, friends or colleagues. read more

I first dined here a month ago for a Yelp elite event. It was so good, that I came back a few weeks later with a friend. It didn't disappoint. This time, in addition to trying some faves from my initial visit, I also tried the crab Rangoon and the Singapore noodles with shrimp. It was so delicious that I ate the entire portion. My other fave is the 7 flavor mushroom. They offer lots of vegan/vegetarian options. This is an authentic dim sum spot - and very delicious. This family run restaurant is casual and provides great service. read more

If you want authentic, this is the place to go, especially if you would like some dim sum along with platters. This a traditional order dish and share. Service tend to be pretty good, although sometime you feel rushed, but that being said, this a small eatery so it is very understandable with the limited seating. read more

Tonight, I placed a delivery order and went all-in on dumplings. The fried vegetable dumplings were amazing--flavorful and crispy--but they didn't look particularly appetizing. Don't judge a book by its cover, though; the veggie dumplings were absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, the Steamed Shrimp Dumplings didn't live up to expectations. Each dumpling contained just a single shrimp wrapped in a delicate dough, but the shrimp's flavor was so overpowering that I couldn't manage more than one bite. The taste was just too strong for me, and I won't be ordering those again. That said, I will definitely be coming back for the Vegetable Dumplings--they're a standout and definitely worth the return visit! read more

I have not found Chinese in Kansas City as good as this. Great service and came out within 10 minutes :) read more

ABC Cafe is one of the few truly authentic Cantonese restaurants in the KC metro. For a small, fast paced restaurant, the service goes above and beyond. You'll rarely go with a new or filled beverage or empty plate uncleared. We were lucky enough to sample many of their greatest hits tonight. For a group of four, we left full for the week lol! My favorite is always the XO turnip cake. However, close seconds are the spare ribs, cucumber salad, and chicken feet (not ordered tonight though). Some new favorites include the XO chicken wings, shrimp wontons (steamed and fried were both incredible), xiao long bao, and their beef shank scallion pancake roll. We'll be back again for sure! Thank you ABC Cafe staff, for an incredible and memorable night! read more

This restaurant has been here a long time and it's the first time I stop in to give them a try. It's a small Chinese restaurant located in Lenexa. I believe they are only open from Thursday to Sunday. They seem to be quite popular. It's was a Sunday afternoon and there was a 15-20 minute wait for a table. Inside tables are very close to each other. Food seem authentic and very good. I would come back to try other dishes again. read more

Looks very small from the outside and is very small on the inside.... Wife and I decided on this place after we'd heard how good they were. I unfortunately was not impressed by the items we ordered. The green been with "minced pork" was very salty but came with a bowl of rice which helped out but I've been trying to cut my carb intake down so actually wasn't very helpful health wise‍. Pork buns tasted like they were store bought from the frozen isle. Sadly our favorite items were the egg drop soup and the cucumbers. read more

Interesting location. You're very close to the table next to you or perhaps you're sitting at a table with folks you don't know. I don't find this off putting and the food is SO GOOD.

ABC Cafe is a nice hole in a wall place for Chinese food! There is ample parking but seating is limited inside, so make sure you plan for that. We came specifically for their all day dim sum. Unfortunately, some of their dim sum dumplings were sold out and they also have a pretty limited dim sum menu. Despite not trying everything we wanted, the shrimp dumplings and pork su mai were delicious!! I would definitely be back to try their dinner menu and traditional Chinese dishes. Overall, the service was okay. Food came out at a good pace, but we had to flag down a server multiple times when we needed something. read more

ABC Cafe - Dim Sum Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Dim sum: a buffet but at your table. I love coming here for their excellent food. My favorites are the beef short ribs, the sui mai, the pretty red bean buns and the sesame balls (not too chewy). Today we tried the eggplant which will be ordered again for sure. Every item on their dim sum menu is top notch. I have orders off their non dim sum menu- but rarely - not because the food is not equally good but because - did I mention mini buffet? Prices are super reasonable. Service is attentive and quick and everything is freshly prepared. Not a lot of seating and so I recommend not going to peak hours if you can avoid it- but even if you do, service is quick and tables turn over quick. read more

Food: We've been coming to ABC cafe since they first opened years ago. In the past few years, management has changed but the food is still consistent. Although, portions have decreased we still come back for the authentic Chinese dishes like: shui mai, beef tendon, hot clay dishes, etc. Service: Their service is quick and efficient. They get your drinks and food order as soon as you are seated. Ambiance: a small restaurant with tables packed. Don't be surprised if you end up sitting with another party on a very busy day. read more
