The Scene This Chinese stalwart is known for its extravagant seafood dinners and cheaper-than-average dim sum.

Barn-sized banquet serves lobster n' shrimp so fresh they practically drip with sea water. Dim sum til 3pm on one story.

Family-style dinners just the place to announce that new dragon tat and your relationship with a white person. Two pound geo-duck clam forms three dishes.

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

Cons

Abc has a decent variety of dim sum. You need to arrive early to avoid the crowd. They also serve chinese entrees on their regular lunch and dinner menu. Fresh crabs served with black bean sauce is excellent. Prices are great.
