    On an evening of just running into my old favorite places, this was quite a surprise. It was no longer what it used to be, but now a Chinese seafood restaurant. I was already in the parking lot, so decided to give them a try. I only got an order of Dim sum, pork steamed purses. They were well made, had a very tasty and fragrant filling. They were a bit undercooked, Wichita made them taste doughy and chewy. I'll take this off my list the next time I am in the area. What's a girl to do? Sometimes it's better to stick with what you know, even though I enjoy a walk on the wild side.

    So we decided to try it out since it's closer than out favorite dim sum restaurant. It was previously caked chopstix and we weren't crazy about it. So we were going it was better and there were new owners. First impression...Nothing was done to the interior at all, the walls are still dirty and paint is wearing off, the lobster tank was dirty and cloudy and it had a weird odor. I feel like investing in paint wouldn't hurt, and maybe a diffuser for the smell. The staff. The seemed friendly, although get not being able to tell me if it was new owners or a new name had me curious. The food ): We ordered our typical favorites and a couple new dishes. The book tripe had no flavor and was seriously undercooked. The honeycomb tripe tasted bad, I wouldn't eat it, my husband did so the jury is still out on that. The chicken feet were good! The sticky rice was definitely old and reheated as the rice was hard, but it coulda been good if it was fresh. The shrimp rice paste was just ok. I didn't even think you could screw that up so I feel like it should always be great. The shrimp balls were good and the stuffed puppers were good. Over all, I was less than impressed. Over half of what we got wasn't good. At the end she brought us a dessert, sweet water it something, had honey dew melon. It was actually really good. The price. Well that doesn't much matter if the food isn't any good. In the end, as you may have guessed, we won't be back. For a close quick dim sum we'd go to Hong Kong house on Fowler and if I have enough time I'd go to tc choy who never disappoints!!

    Formally known as Chopstix in Tampa is the absolute best Chinese take out/ delivery I have ever had!!! The one con is that delivery usually takes over an hour, so order ahead of time. We've only tried the pork popstix, fried rice, vegetable lo mein, sweet & sour chicken, and krab rangoon. Those are all amazing!

    The dim sum is ok but waited two hours for 5 dishes. Each came out one by one. When I asked the server why it was taking so long he said it was being made fresh. There were three tables seated on a Sat. afternoon. Can't imagine when it is busy. I won't be going back with that kind of wait.

    New name. Same great food. I love the dim sum here. Worth the drive all the way from Largo. Our family moved here 20 years ago from the west coast. This is as good as anything we have had in san Francisco, seattle and vancouver. Awesome!

    Thanks to the Boon-meister's fine skills at selecting our dinner options at New ABC Seafood Restaurant, my hubby and I were happily satisfied. We had quite a bit of a spread including soup with tofu, greens, and pork, clams, flounder fish with green beans, lobster, super fiery spicy tofu, beef chow fun, beef with chinese broccoli, and clams. Everything was really good. My faves were: Flounder fish with the green beens Beef chow fun Soup with tofu, greens, and pork I tried sake for the first time. It was nice and warm, and that felt good, but oh that alcohol is pretty darn strong for me. I swear if I drank it again, I'd drink it as a shot, just so I wouldn't have to taste it. It needs something. Make it sweet, or something. Service was good dealing with us awesome people. They were always there to check in with us. They even let Nick S. bang on the pots and pans. That was his highlight of dinner. Will be back here for sure. There are so many menu items to choose from. There has to be something for everyone.

    Great Chinese restaurant. The old ABC was located at St. Pete and now the the owner move to this location not long ago. When they just first open I was not impress. Today they are really do a good job. We have order a salt and pepper Whole Lobster and three dim sum dishes for dinner. The dim sum are shrimp stuff egg plant, leak steam dumpling and the beef tripe. The egg plant is well prepared since the skin is soft enough. Obviously the egg plant is deep fried with ground shrimp paste and hot plate grilled the surface and added the black beam sauce. If the chef did not prepare correctly the skin will be tough to bite through and you will end up leave the skin on the side. However this chef did correctly and is yum to consume. Today feature is the the Lobster. They are running the special with each lobster $15. Can't beat this price. They can prepare ginger scallion, Hong Kong style with egg white, steam, salt and pepper....... You got to try it now while they are running the special. The way they have the lobster cut to 10 pieces. The first cut is remove head then the crawl. The body is cut to 6 pieces. They will deep fried and stir fry with salt, green scallion, onion and jalapeño. This dish you need to learn how to eat from the shell. If you have group 4 or more, I recommend to order the fillet flounder. The fish meat fillet in cube and easy to eat. Many people don't know the fried side bone can be eaten. The side bone is taste like crunchy yum food. Please be sure to chew or crush before you swallow because some time you chose too close to the main bone that cannot be swallow. Overall the service is good today. We have been back and will be back for more.

    This review is just based off our dim sum lunch on one occasion, so I don't know what their regular dinner plates are like. My mom and I came for lunch to sample a few different dim sum dishes. Super friendly service! Our server was very attentive and our food came out quickly. We ordered 6 different things (so much food!) we got the Krab Rangoon, fried shrimp balls, roast beef taro, sui mai, fried sesame balls, and baked pork buns. Our least favorite was the rangoons, they were pretty greasy and less-than-average in flavor. The shrimp balls were good, but also a little greasy. Sui mai were one of our favorites. The roast pork taro was another favorite- we've never had it before but it has a lovely, light crispy outer shell with a tasty taro/meat filling. We ordered baked buns, but were served steamed pork buns. They were still delicious so I have no qualms with that- the filling was spot on. Fried sesame balls didn't have much filling and weren't as sweet as we were expecting. Overall, I would be willing to try this place again to try a few different things (you can't beat the low price!), but my mom and I both agreed we liked the dim sum at our usual place at SushiKo better.

    The dim sum seems to have improved after the change in ownership. I liked that it wasn't overly salty like other dim sum places in Tampa. The prices are very low compared to their competitors.

    I've been to this restaurant when it was called Chopstix but today was my 1st time back with the new owners. I came for my lunch hour. I was seated immediately. The servers were really friendly and kept checking on me. I ordered off of their dim sum menu ~ roast pork taro (fried taro dumpling), shrimp rice paste, and fried donut rice paste. I also ordered their Hong Kong style wonton noodle soup. They only had the lunch menu and dim sum menu out but they have a larger menu for dinner. They don't have the dim sum push carts, you order the dishes by checking it off their dim sum menu with the pencil on the table. I heard the workers speaking in Cantonese which is a good sign when you're eating dim sum. The food wasn't too long of a wait. I got the shrimp rice paste ($3.25) first. It was drenched in the sweet soy sauce that comes with rice paste. Pretty standard. Each roll had 2 large shrimp that had a slight funky taste though but I wasn't too put off. The HK style wonton noodle soup ($7.95) came next and it was HUGE! it was family size and there was a serving spoon and a side bowl. I felt almost embarrassed that I ordered such a large soup for myself. Although, the bowl was large, the flavor was lacking and I will not be getting this again. It's so hard to get a decent bowl of HK wonton noodle soup in Tampa! The broth was a little bland. The vegetables inside the soup looked like they weren't fully cleaned. The wontons had shrimp inside (with the slight funky taste again). I think I only enjoyed the thin egg noodles. The rest of the dim sum came out - fried donut rice paste ($3.25). Crispy dough wrapped with rice paste and then cut up into bite size pieces, sprinkled with sesame seeds. It's my aunt's favorite dim sum dish! Their version was standard. Came with a side of sweet soy sauce. I presume it's the same soy sauce as the shrimp rice paste but it did taste a little different. I just kept dipping the pieces into the shrimp rice paste bowl. Roast pork taro ($3.25) 3 ~ this is my #1 favorite dim sum dish that I always order. Although this version was still good, I was slightly disappointed. There wasn't much flavor in the pork filling and the outside wasn't as flaky and messy as I usually like it. Not a bad dish at all but I've had better. Overall, the food was not bad. I'm going to most likely come back and try the other things on the menu. I was full and had a lot of leftovers. However, ABC will not be my 1st choice when it comes to dim sum or authentic Chinese. Since it's close to work and they also deliver, I would order lunch again.

    Super fresh seafood in tanks. Salt and pepper shrimps were amazing. Ginger scallion tilapia was perfectly cooked and much cheaper than Orlando prices. Duck skin was crispy and so yummy! They make their own hot sauce which is unique, tasty and addictive. Loved our first visit here we will be coming back!

    Excellent authentic food. Not the same run of the mill stuff you find at the chains. We stumbled across this place from a Yelp review and it is now our "go to" Chinese restaurant.

    This is the restaurant formerly known as Chopstix. I have been dining here for many years and have yet to be dissatisfied. This is as authentic Chinese food as you can get and one of the few places to get dim sum. We got the shrimp balls, the pork buns which I didn't care for but my son loved. We also ordered pork rice paste which we liked and pan fried dumplings which we loved. The meals are served family style. So we shared Mongolian Beef, Honey Pepper Chicken and Pork Fried Rice. The mongolian beef is spicy and so is the chicken. I found the fried rice a little dry this time but it's been consistently good so I think it was a fluke. All in all it's a good solid place when I have a hankering for something more than my local Chinese fast food place can provide.

    We seem to have a number of Asian restaurants in northern Hillsborough County that are now offering really delicious Chinese food along with a full dim sum menu. New ABC Seafood Restaurant is located along Fletcher Avenue in the USF section of town. You'll find them in a strip mall on the south side of Fletcher in between Ho Ho Choy and the Kaleisia Tea Lounge. At one time this restaurant was known as Chopstix, but they changed ownership about a year ago, re-vamped the menu, and re-branded the place. You'll find seafood tanks in the restaurant where you can select your live tilapia, lobsters, and Dungeness crabs, and have them prepared for your meal. "That's right Nemo and Sebastian, keep staring back at me, but know that the two of you two are headed for the kitchen table!" Muhahahaha! If you're in the mood for Chinese food, New ABC has a big selection of all of your Americanized favorites, along with even more traditional Chinese dishes. The emphasis is on fresh seafood, so you'll find cold jellyfish, fish maw soup, lobsters, crab, scallops, steamed fish, mussels, conch, frog legs, snails, razor clams, and shrimp. Those all pair up with chicken, beef, duck, squib, fried rice, noodle dishes, and lots of veggies and tofu. If some of that makes you a bit queasy, then just stick to the "Gringo" section of the menu, and you'll be fine. They have many of the familiar Chinese entrées with egg rolls, rice, and soup. I was in the mood for some dim sum when I was there for Sunday lunch, and so I ordered a few of my favorites, and was not disappointed. I had steamed shrimp dumplings, fried fish balls, pan-fried chive dumplings, salt & pepper shrimp, and 1/4 of a tea-infused roasted crispy duck. It was a lot of very delicious food which was brought out quickly to my table. If my buddy Coty had been with me we would have added the snow pea tips with garlic sauce, Century eggs, and steamed chicken feet -- cause she's like all adventurous, don't ya know? I thought that the dim sum menu at New ABC was quite good, and certainly on par with the number of other dim sum outlets around town. This restaurant is focused more on fresh seafood, and you'll definitely see a few things that will be new to you. My advice is to try some of the great dim sum options around town, and find the one that works for you.

    Good seafood. And I don't even eat seafood. Give it a try before going next door for tea!

    This restaurant used to be the old "Chopstix" but recently underwent a change in ownership. I normally come here when I'm craving seafood because most of the seafood (lobster, clams, fish, and shrimp) here are kept fresh. I don't particularly like their dim sum as much as the old place but their normal order off the menu dishes are delicious.

    The server was pleasant and very helpful. Unfortunately, that couldn't quite make up for some of the issues:. Turnip cake: underdone & needs more sausage or shrimp in it. Chicken feet: need more stewing. Underdone & too chewy. Sticky rice: undercooked. Odd flavour. Sui Mai: ok. Pan fried chive dumplings: excellent. Lovely golden crispy exterior stuffed with succulent shrimp & chives Salt & pepper shrimp: shell on -- yummy. If you are the new management & are offering different dishes, PLEASE get rid of the old menu. The first three things we asked for were no longer being offered, yet we're still on the dim sum menu.

    I have eaten at least 30 meals from here since the late Dec 2013 takeover. My favorites include the Beef Chow Fun (rice noodles) w/ black bean sauce. Seafood, which their name implies, is quite good if you hit it on the same day delivery was received. Lobster, oyster, live shrimp and Dungenus Crab, delicious. Tampa has some very decent authentic Cantonese style restaurants and New ABC definitely fits the bill. Dim Sum fans, don't forget to give it a try. The way (family style) this place is run, is pretty much how most small eateries are run in cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. Don't be surprised to find the grandma and grand kids hanging out in the dining room, kids are so cute and well behaved.

    We just happened by and were pleased with the service and the dim sum. We seek out dim sum in Chicago, San Francisco, etc therefore are pretty choosy. We will return without doubt!

    I am from NYC. And I didn't know I could have such a delicious Chinese food in Tampa. Two thumbs up. Sea food hot pot is my favorite dish here.

    This is my new favorite Chinese in Tampa. It used to be Chopstix but new owners have changed it significantly. Instead of the typical Chinese food in the area, this serves authentic dishes that get their flavor from great ingredients instead of just sugar and oil. You can get anything from a wonderful version of common entrees (ie: orange beef) to more traditional dishes (i'm still too scared to try of them). Everything we've had has been great. I'm now addicted to their crispy chicken in Chinese wine. Anything you want that's not on the menu they will make. Any substitution of fish or meat or vegetable they will accommodate. Shrimp, crabs and many of the fish are right out of the tank. The owner and her staff are absolutely lovely. maybe not the nicest part of town but well worth the trip.
