Soo yummy and fills up your tummy 😋❤️. I remember how it was before the new management and most of the food is the same which is great but the egg rolls are gross now , the filling used to be real cabbage and other veggies and now i think its a paste that was fz 🥺. They have new items that are delicious like the pork ribs ❤️😋 and the service is always great ❤️ . But the restaurant before had mood lighting and more authentic artwork and plants  to enjoy and talk about but  now its white, bright and clean with TV's . Its just a different feel but the food is still yumm.

We recently had dinner at Abacus Inn and were disappointed with the experience. The food quality has significantly declined. I ordered the orange beef with fried rice. The beef was overly breaded and tasted like it came from frozen, while the fried rice was unremarkable. The egg rolls, which were once a highlight, are now smaller and filled with mushy chicken—definitely not the same quality as before.

My husband had the sautéed spicy beef, and his main issue was the lack of balance—there were far more vegetables than beef, and the spice overwhelmed the dish. The white rice was overcooked and had a pasty texture.

Overall, the meal fell far short of our expectations, especially considering the standards Abacus Inn used to uphold.

We highly recommend Abacus Inn. Last night me and my fiance went for dinner.  We had the dumplings and crab puffs for our appetizers which were very good.  Our entrees were Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and Beef Chow Fun both which we highly recommend.  We will definitely be going back. One very pleasant thing was extremely nice staff with smiling faces.  Thank you Helen

My husband and I have loved Abacus for some time now. We recently made a trip to have dinner. We live downtown Phoenix, and granted, it's not out of state. We have trouble getting over here.  It's no surprise that their food is still so delicious! My husband had the "Happy Family and I'd like to tell you what I had, I am not very good with remembering what I had. Take a look at the dishes below. I love the fortune cooks, even though they are very cornie.

The staff here are always friendly and the food delicious.  They were open on Christmas and the masses came.  They were extremely busy, and probably understaffed.  THANK YOU for being open.  There was one girl working the desk and we couldn't believe how busy it was for takeout.  But the staff were all gracious, kind and helpful.  It took longer than expected but worth the wait!
