The Scene
This Chinese stalwart is known for its extravagant seafood dinners and cheaper-than-average dim sum. Mirrored ceilings, pink tablecloths and white-shirted waiters who anticipate your every whim are half of the charm, getting your fish shown live to you and then eating it perfectly cooked is the other half.
The Food
The seafood at ABC Seafood is truly spectacular. The live geoduck clam, a hefty creature that weighs in at around 2 pounds, is brought live to your table for inspection. Only after your approval, the kitchen transforms the geoduck clam into two delicious dishes: sliced thinly, then sauteed with slivered green onion and sweet ginger; and in hunks, dipped in a salt-and-pepper batter, then deep-fried to airy perfection. To round out the meal, stick to dishes on the chef's special menu, and you can't go wrong. Especially good are the sizzling lamb hot pot and the sublimely ethereal ginseng-chicken soup.

The food there is just ok. If you want some better ones, drive another 10 miles east to the monterey park/san gabriel area.

From the outside, this restaurant isn't very impressive. In fact it looks like just a rectangular white office building with a curtained door. Don't let the downplayed exterior turn you off. They serve pretty good dim sum served fresh and hot. Again, like many restaurants in Chinatown, they focus on seafood so expect to see shrimp in almost anything. This is one of the regular places we rotate through for dim sum in Chinatown. Give it try.
