We've done dine-in, takeout, and delivery from Abacus for several years now. Consistently good quality food and a very calming atmosphere when dining in. Also good portions and value for the money. Of note, when I ordered a bowl of egg drop soup - I actually got a full, giant bowl of soup. Not a giant bowl...with 10 spoons worth of contents hiding in the center, like a lot of other places do these days. I'm no expert on Chinese food, particularly not spicy food, but the House Chow Fun, Ginger Beef, and Lo Mein are all amazing if those are things you enjoy.

I ordered a big meal I thought. When my brother came home with it I was shocked that the container size was about the same as I get with a combo lunch specials ! 12.50 for 6 PCs of general chow chicken/ sparse veggies as well. The same with the house lo mein! We got soups large wonton and egg drop they were ok. I asked for lots of hot mustards and they sent me a brownish color ones evident of it be dated. I will starve before I will give that dump any money. Stay away not worth it. 45 bucks shot to hell!

Best Chinese food around , im a barber so always order take out for lunch and nothing compares to their food. Lo mein is almost perfect basically no oil or grease won’t get Chinese food anywhere else. So all the 1 star reviews are clearly Karen’s who don’t pick up there food for a hour and complain it’s cold to the people complaining about chicken being fish lol like c mon now y’all are just haters

It used be a great place that served quality food. I am not sure how well they are managing their restaurant these days. I haven’t been there in a decade though. Their food was bit pricey, but it wasworth a visit.

I just picked up my order and my partner asked if I ordered fish because the whole car smelled like fish.*I got home and everything I ordered is gross. The General Pan's Chicken is weird and spongey and the sauce just tastes like ketchup. The vegetables are tough and grey. The pork in the fried rice is all gristle and the fried rice feels and tastes old.I tried to feed the chicken to my dog and he would only eat it if I took the breading off. I don't blame him, it tasted like old stale oil and rotten fish.I've never gotten home and thrown food right in the trash but I took one bite of everything and tossed it.Freshness can't be the issue because I waited 15 minutes while they finished cooking my food. I would understand if it was steam table but that means they made the good fresh and it still tastes old.*At the time of posting there are three other reviews that say their food tasted like fish. An alarming trend, I'm definitely not ordering again.

Ordered food but didn't receive all the items. Called to ask about the missing item and they hung up on me.

Dingy, smelly place and the server clearly did not want to be there. He threw stuff on the table and even when I would say thank you, he wouldn’t acknowledge my existence. We left before we

yes, add take out got the combination spareribs with fried rice. The fried rice was mushy. The spare ribs were overdone. There was no meat on it the sweet-and-sour chicken taste it like rubber. It was the most horrible Chinese food I ever ate. I wouldn't recommend abacus to anybody how can you serve customers that kind of food? That's what I like to know. Paying $35 I gave them a tip. It was the best restaurant around now it's the worst restaurant around. Very very disappointing. people told me not to order from them. I didn't listen. Next time I'll listen.

Recently moved closer to here, never had Abacus before, first time, but the service was great. I ordered the sesame chicken, lo mein and my mom got the won ton soup with an egg roll, and it was like gourmet quality, like home made Chinese food. All white meat, with no fat, sesame chicken, was the best I ever had in my life! I will be ordering again very soon.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food was very under seasoned and tasted odd. Won’t waste my money here again.

Abacus Chinese Restaurant is a true treasure… The food is delicious and the staff members are so friendly and accommodating… I loved the roast duck and my wife enjoyed the special lunch menu, which included soup, appetizer, and a main course… Today she chose the egg drop soup, followed by the calamari in special sauce, followed by the main course of ginger and garlic sea bass stir fry… I highly recommend the restaurant when in the mood for great Chinese cuisine… LG

For all the times we have frequented this establishment, we have never once eaten inside. We have always done takeout. We ha e been going to abacus since 1996 and the menu hasn't changed much. We go for the quickness of eating dinner after we have forgotten to cook our own meal. Sometimes life is so busy that we look at our clock and can't believe it's 8pm. I use to talk to the original owner but has since retired and I heard that the younger generation is running things now. The food is always good and fast. I'm glad they are still there when we need them.
