Reviews for Abacus Inn in Glendale, AZ
Portions are good size. Fried wonton were hard enough to Crack your teeth. No cream cheese in them. Vegetables were under... cooked and too crunchy. Food was just not flavorful. This is usually my go to restaurant,but not sure I will order from thereagain. Big disappointment.!! Read more
My second time back. We love Abacus Inn! Especially, having leftovers. Generous portions (dinner prices). Phone & reception very... friendly, terrifically organized. Pick up is a breeze. We will be back thanks Read more
We always have a great experience at Abacus Inn. It's been a long time since we are here and have no idea why because it was... awesome. Great food at reasonable prices, and good portions. We definitely need to get back here more often. Be sure to takeadvantage of the lunch menu that is served until 4pm daily...it includes an egg roll, soup and rice along with eachentree...great deal!

We had a good experience here. We ordered Beef Lo Mein, Chicken Fried Rice & Egg Rolls. I'd give the food an A to A - and... Service was A+ and respectful. We went to the restaurant to order to-go & it was done very quickly. Hot & fresh. The beef wasvery tender with a good amt of veggies (incld side of white rice was avg). The best part... it was NOT SWEET. I hate sweet Asianfood & need to avoid sugar bc family diabetes issues. This was savory & good. Will order again. Chicken Fried Rice wastraditional & average with peas & carrots & scallion. Not too oily and actually had fried egg in it like it should. But I saw abroccoli piece in it. So cross-contamination with another dish possibly. Need to be careful with that. But will orderagain. Egg Rolls: Yuck! They are large traditional sized fried egg rolls stuffed with cabbage and meat, but idk what kind (notwhite pork; not shrimp as is traditional - more like a ground beef). Not appealing. And the coating/flavor had cinnamon on it. Icould not eat them. Very unpalatable to me and I wonder if the spice got on them accidentally, thru cross-contamination? If not,you should re-think that flavoring. Will not order them again and that's disappointing. Our 2nd visit there was not as good.The food was average at best. The white rice was dirty with IDK what in it and the orange chicken dish has strong spices in it &same exact spices in veggie rolls too. Someone at this place is spice crazy. The wanton soup was soggy, broken noodles; brothwas weak & kinda gross. Hardly any noodles but lots of raw uncooked carrots with shrimp. Not traditional at all- not even close.So maybe they are more like a 3.5 STAR RATING Read more
Got the Pork Fried Rice and it was horrible. Rice was undercooked, pork had no seasoning it literally tasted like it was from... Panda Express. As a Chinese restaurant I expected a dish this simple would be easy for them, giving this place a one star andnever going back. Read more
I love this place and usually order lunch a couple times a month. Its always ready within 15 minutes. The orange chicken lunch... special comes with 2 fried wontons and a delicious egg roll. I also ask for an extra scoop of rice to make two meals out of it.The honey chicken on their dinner menu is also very delicious. Read more
So someone recommended me this place & also to my mom. Had high hopes. Came to try out their lunch special. Just not that... great. Everything tasted different and greasy & oily. I got the egg drop soup and it was sweet. So weird. Never had egg dropthat was sweet. My mom had the hot & sour soup & it was sweet too. Like how can that be! I got the chicken chow mein. It wasokay. The noodles were good. The egg roll was so cooked and greasy, eww. Also there was like wontons or something and it wasjust fried, no cheese or anything in it. The rice tasted different too. They give you complementary tea. Read more
