ABC Seafood Restaurant

If you come here on the weekend for dim sum, the food is not bad for the location of Foster City. You can have better, but do you really want to drive all the way to Chinatown in the City? This review is for lunch time on a weekday. I made the mistake of ordering the fried turnip cake and the siu mai. As I came by myself I couldn't really order much. Unfortunately, the turnip cake came out barely lukewarm as it was already cooked and waiting to be ordered by a s***** like me on one of those serving delivery trays. The siu mai came out piping hot, but the skin literally fell apart from over steaming. I wouldn't come back here for a weekday lunch. They apparently serve better dim sum on the weekends. Possibly because they have more clientele. Also, if you are wearing any dark clothing, be prepared to be completely covered in white tablecloth lint. See picture. FYI, I always de-lint myself before going out. This pix is the aftermath.

Really good dim sum =) Anything with beancurd skin is great! The mango prawn roll was juicy and tasty, even though we could not really taste the mango. Lobster noodle is amazing, lobster was juicy and huge. Siew Mai is big and juicy. The custard bun could do with more custard too but the bun was soft and fluffy, and the filling was awesome. Not a fan of the tea marinated chicken and prawn spinach dumpling and 小笼包。 4 dishes fills two of us up.

Taste nice with true Hong Kong style dim sum.

Should be shutdown for food safety, and terrible service to boot. Served me spoiled beef in my beef chow fun. When I complained, the manager Johnny reluctantly switched it out and offered shrimp chow fun as a replacement. That dish was fine, but I guess they never miss an opportunity to upsell a customer, as when my check came they made sure to charge me for the more expensive replacement shrimp chow fun instead of the beef. No wonder they suggested the shrimp as a replacement. I pointed this out to make sure there was no mistake, and he was indignant, as if it's obvious that when they replaced my rotten beef with shrimp, I should now have to pay for the more expensive dish that I didn't want in the first place.

Good quality dim sum, some seating area are a bit awkward. Also, the staff lost our dim sum order and it's resulted in a delay because they don't have dim sum carts there.
