I have been going here since I was little. My family and I used to know the previous owner who passed away years ago and he was just so sweet, always giving me candy as a kid and saying hi. Not only he would greet guests and help staff personally, he would show up and work the counter. This ABC dim sum was my most favorites. To the chicken feet, shu mai, pecking duck isntop tier, viet shrimp noodle with soy sauce and huge crispy shrimp balls, this place always leaves us full and satisfied! This place also has party options and dinner style for dinner, and the fish and crab dishes are sooo good. The sweet and sour soup and egg drop soup are my all time favorites for soup but nothing beats the oyster sauce clam dish!! The workers don't speak much english so give them slack if they seem rude, thats just their culture, I never really had any bad experiences really. They were all nice and friendly. The place is years old with a few renovations over the years for more space and even new chairs and perhaps an little run down restroom but other than that the ambiance is the best for what it is!! read more

ABC Seafood is my grandkids favorite dimsum restaurant and they will only eat their shrimp balls and shumai. Any other place they will not eat. Its a ways for us coming from Keller, but worth it every time. Sometimes my nephew will drive to pick up and bring home for us some weekends, which is always a treat for the 18mos old that doesn't like longer than 30min car rides. They've renovated some and did away with the lazy-susan in the middle of the table, which I think was unfortunate especially for short arms people. Service is always great - the ladies there know my grandkids on sight. The owners even passed out red envelopes for year of the Horse. read more

Note that this is a review for a weekday lunch. Can't speak to how everything is during the chaos of the weekend. It had been a long time since we've been to ABC Seafood and I'm not so sure why, but this place is definitely back on our radar. Each time we've been here on a weekday, it's been completely empty, which at first made us a bit weary, until the food came. All of the dim sum was made fresh, so each and every item was perfectly crispy and perfectly steamed. On the flip side of that, it can take some time to get your food out, so be prepared to wait a little bit. Wanted to call out the steamed rice rolls in particular, as those tasted freshly made and definitely different from all your "typical" dim sum spots. The roll was perfectly chewy and light. Service was alright each time we went, but again, this was a weekday and the place was essentially empty each time. I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a solid dim sum spot in the area. read more

Wasn't bad. The dim sum was a little different on the flavor. But I liked that the food wasn't crazy greasy or salty. If I were in the area. I'd definitely go again. It wasn't very busy and there were lots of servers so our table stayed clean. They do add gratuity if you have over 5 people. read more

My favorite dim sum restaurant in DFW. They have the shumai with quail egg on top which is my favorite! They also have some classic Chinese dishes that are delicious. Also great for large parties as the place has plenty of seating. They are fairly quick with their service as well. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for dimsum! read more

It's been a long time since I've revisted. Heard they renovated/updated so decided to give it a try again. I'm glad to see that it's improved quite a bit! Glad that I don't have to drive outside of Arlington to get a quick dim sum craving anymore. The carts coming around can be a little slow but that's a given if it's busy. If something isn't on the carts for dim sum, you can place an order in (be ready to wait 15-20+min though). Workers are always nice. Renovation has made the place look cleaner, brighter and more welcoming. Its a nice space to rent out for small events. read more

I have eaten at the ABC Seafood restaurant in Los Angeles China town and was thrilled to know there is one right here in Arlington. Dim Sum on Sunday with my son was absolutely fantastic. What a great experience in every way. The attention to every detail from our water glasses to frequent stops to our table with the very finest selection of dim sum and confection cart was worth every penny. We will make ABC a must when we entertain out of town guests. read more

We came here for business dinner and luckily, there was complimentary parking space in that plaza. Ambiance was family friendly and accommodating. Servers were friendly and helpful. Since the food was ordered in advance, it arrived quickly. We were trying signature dishes like Fried Crab with Typhoon Shelter Style and ducks with buns. Overall, it was a nice group meal. read more

Been going for years. Food is great. Restaurant has been renovated. We usually go for Sunday dim sum.

We haven't been here for over 6 years and decided to give it a try, since it was renovated in 2024. Upon entering we were seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. This was great. I noticed though after 30 minutes of our table sitting down they started to get really busy. We came at the right time. We were greeted right away by our server and the ladies with the dim sum cart. The items look so fresh and yummy. We grabbed Chinese broccoli, har how, shumai, sticky rice, crispy shrimp ball, and we ordered salad and pepper squid. The dim sum was very delicious and made fresh. We also ordered the crab fried rice. Omg it was a big portion of rice with pieces of five mess crab that was fried. This was enough for 6 people. We couldn't finish it and had to take it to go. The rice was seasoned well and the crab was a good size. Overall we had a time and the staff was very nice. The place is nothing fancy but it was good. read more

Finally back to this place after several years. They have made improvements inside the restaurant, I am happy to note. The inside looks spacious, tank is gone. New decor. Service is about the same, I see familiar faces except for the owner. He is no longer at the register. Food tastes great - we had dimsum faves like shumai, bean curd with pork, pork bun, fun roll ! Also ordered the beef rib in orange sauce, missed this it is honestly the best I have ever had. Happy to have found this place again, we are coming back for sure. read more

Decided to try this spot for their traditional dim sum and it met our expectations. The restaurant has tons of seating which was a plus on a busy Sunday morning. The staff service was excellent, another pleasant surprise in Chinese restaurants, they made multiple rounds by our table and made sure we had enough food (not in a pushy way). The food was exactly what you'd expect, they had all the usual dishes. I especially enjoyed the shumei. We would return if we crave dim sum again. read more

I live in the area of Arlington, and this place has been our go-to dim sum spot for a long time, and it's not going to stop now. The dim sum here tastes amazing, and the quality of the food has not gone down in the last 4 years I've been here. The service is excellent, and I truly love what they've done to the place; it gives that modern look and vibe that has made the dim sum experience even better. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for some good dim sum. read more

Have been going here for dim sum since I was a kid. This is definitely my top choice for dim sum, service is great, everyone is very attentive. Food is fresh and during dim sum times you pick off the cart. One of my favorite things to order from the menu is the orange bbq beef ribs!! SO GOOD, it's galbi ribs fried with an orange glaze, must try! I always recommend ABC for dim sum in the Arlington area. There's never a wait typically which is awesome. read more

This has been our favorite dim sum restaurant for over 10+ years. The ladies have always been so hospitable and sweet to our family and the food is always delicious. They renovated their restaurant in summer of 2024 and re-opened their restaurant recently. It looks immaculate -- the restaurant looks much cleaner and brighter. Service and food quality is still just as good as before and the aunties are still here! Can't wait to come back more often! We went on New Year's Day and it was super busy. The dim sum cart took some time to come around to our table and it was clear that they were overwhelmed. With that being said, be patient and understanding with them on busy days! read more

I love the food. The server are wonderful. They are very welcoming. They have servers who can speak Cantonese, Chinese, and possibly Vietnamese if I wasn't mistaken. The best part is that they serve chrysanthemum tea. Which can be a rare find at a chinese restaurant. I love the atmosphere cause it reminds me of my hometown in Maryland. read more

Every time I'm in Texas, I have to stop by ABC before I leave. Everything in their dim sum menu is pretty standard. There are items I like (house fried rice, pork turnovers, etc.) and items I don't like (egg tart, shrimp ball, etc.) but the one thing that always has me coming back regardless of my experience or the soggy food is the orange glazed short ribs!!!! They are so freaking good and I literally crave them every time. If you're here, make sure you order those orange glasses short ribs. You will not be disappointed but the crunchy texture or the sweet sauce. So good! read more

This restaurant is located in a plaza next to King Crab House. There is plenty of parking. When we arrived there was about two or three tables of people.We ordered some items from the dim sum menu.

Appetites were craving dim sum which led us to this restaurant that serves it until 6pm. Dim sum is more known to be served earlier in the day. While we were late by only a few minutes, and not being locals, the manager said they'd make an exception for us. Now that is wonderful customer service!!! There were only a few tables seated and we were one of the last small families to sit. The place is a little dated, but you can tell they've been serving food for large groups a long while. I didn't inquire however it appeared they can accommodate large parties (when permitted again after the pandemic). Their food was pretty good; presented as dim sum would be, in small plates and steamy. Three of us had enough for five people. That's how much we craved, since we hadn't splurged on dim sum since four years ago or so. Good location in a plaza with a lots of parking. Nearby residential areas, small stores, offices, and grocery shopping. Worth your buck for family-sized dining. We were satisfied with our dinner! read more

We found out about ABC Seafood in a google search for a new dim sum restaurant. We arrived at 10 AM when they opened and were the first ones to the door. The hostess welcomed us at the door.

My go to, & honestly what I think is the best on the menu is the Pan fried Beef (super flavorful & crispy) , salt & pepper soft shell crab & the crab fried rice or the crab meat fried rice (cheaper option.)

We have been going here for many years and they just remodeled the interior. We still love the green bean and tofu and the orange beef ribs. The only downfall is that they don't have the lazy Susan's in the middle of the dining tables anymore, so it's a pain to have to keep passing the food dishes around. Please bring back the center turntables! read more

The food was great. We were a party of 5 and everything we ordered was great. I particularly liked the cod with vegetables but everything was very good! read more

We LOVE this place. Service is fast and efficient. The huge Lazy Susan in the middle of the table is so awesome. It helps with all the different dumplings and dim sum ordered. We all ordered different things and split it all. This is the best option. You get to taste everything and you get the best bang for your buck. All the food was fresh and hot. The dumpling/dim sum carts are so fun. I love this concept. They also cater and do weddings/parties in their space. This is a hidden gem that needs to be shared with the world. Everyone must go try this place. It is GREAT for groups of 6-8 people. read more

Everything was yummy! Nothing to complain about the food here. Except the shrimp roll, the crepe tasted like water and it seemed like it was over cooked. Although they should really get rid of that mask required sign because I noticed a ton of people walking away because they didn't have a mask, and the lady would wave them down and say they can come in. Haha The only downside was they don't take American Express, luckily we had another card. read more

I just ate there today with my family, and the lady wearing the yellow and apron today forced a 5 person gratuity knowing only 4 people were seated. Now we usually tip 25% but the fact that they were greedy enough to add one extra person for the mandatory 16% tip was absolutely scandalous. We took back our tip got the refund and left. I hope they do better next time, but I'm just warning to the people who wanted to go here to be careful. read more

The best dim sum in the area. Service is attentive and food is always delicious. Very authentic vibe

Went for dim sum. Had the normal offerings. Was decent. Some of the items were cold and luke warm. Service was ok but carts were slow.

Coming back here after 4 years and it may have changed just a bit. We usually order the crab fried rice because it's so delicious. It was still delicious but it was lacking the flavor we've always come to like! The service was attentive, not sure if it was because we were 1 of the 4-5 tables there but it was still good! Recommend ordering the salt and pepper squid and the tofu! Always delicious. Lobster was $43 a pound and a lobster would be about 4 pounds so you can imagine how much it'd be. Still great! read more

I've been coming here for many, many years for their dim sum. I heard there was a change in ownership so I was nervous when I came in this past weekend. Walking in, I recognized most of the staff so that was reassuring. The former owner was missed though. He was always nice to our family whenever we came in. The dim sum here is pretty solid. The siu mai, har gow, and shrimp rice paper rolls are our go-tos. My personal favorites though are the sticky rice and congee. Ordering off the menu, we always get the orange beef and the garlic snow pea leaves. I like that they offer different hot teas and not just jasmine. The service is a hit and miss, but we've gotten used to it. For the most part, it's fine. The place is big enough to easily accommodate large parties. They have a great catering menu as well for your party needs (crab fried rice!). But as I mentioned, I come here for dim sum so if you're craving some, definitely check this place out. read more

Family wanted Traditional dim sum in Arlington and that's what we got! The service was as expected from any dim sum restaurant, fast and direct. The space is also large enough to fit multiple big parties. My only peeve was that the carts didn't come around a lot and we had to ask for a menu for non dim sum items. The dim sum that came out though was delicious! Recommend the fried shrimp balls and steamed bbq pork buns. Oh and the hot tea was amazing! read more

The very first time we came here, we were sat and no one ever came by to take our orders, even after we waved them down. Many years have gone by, we decided to come back to give it a try this past weekend. We were seated immediately and yet again we had to wave at a server to get our drinks. We came about 11am which is prime time for dim sum. There were about 6-8 tables and lots of servers. Food: everything broke apart, the baos were soggy. We just did not have a good experience. Service: terrible. All the tables looked like they were constantly waiting on the carts. A whole full restaurant with only two carts for dim sum. Most likely, won't be returning here for dim sum read more
