Also they seem short on staff. It is surprising do to the amount of online and sit in customers they have. I tried making a reservation for 6PM on Saturday and they said they only had a 5PM or 6:45PM. We took the 5PM one and noticed that at 6PM the restaurant still had 10 or more table available. This is not a good way to keep customers.

A few of my favorites are the mango pomelo sago (think cold creamy mango dessert soup), coconut pudding (looks like a cute bunny!), and the salt & pepper noodle fish. I don't know what noodle fish is but I will order this every time I eat here! Great dim sum overall. There are plenty of tables and seating. The only thing I wish they would add is a baby changing station in both men and women bathrooms. I think places that offer high chairs should also have baby changing stations. Just my radical opinion. All in all, this place has potential. I would definitely consider this for event space or family parties in the future.

Overall, all the food was pretty good and I would definitely come back…read more My favorites were the 1/2 duck and the pan fried noodles with beef. My older son only ate a bowl of rice and some pan fried noodles. My dad thought the shrimp dumplings were pretty good (and he eats a lot of them) and then ordered a huge array of other food. They were sadly out of Chinese broccoli so we didn't eat any greens. This place is huge. We were the first people at 11 a.m. on a Monday. It's nice that it's right next to MD Oriental so you can eat dim sum and then go grocery shopping. The waitress was very nice. When my son was disappointed that they didn't have fortune cookies, she gave him egg tarts for free. I've never seen such nice service at a dim sum place before. That meant a lot to him. It looks like this place also serves as a banquet hall, since they have colorful lights and a giant tv (like the size of a wall!) that plays music videos. There were a lot of smaller rooms off tot he side that look like they either hold private parties or karaoke. I like this place and I'd definitely come back. The menu is a little limited (for example, they don't have tripe), but they have the main staples.

Service was great--the staff was quick, attentive, and constantly checking in and clearing tables. Our favorites were the calamari and the fried shrimp balls--both were so delicious!

The Mongolian Beef and Potstickers are delicious! The sesame chicken had a weird off-sweet donut flavor to the battered chicken and the egg rolls were tiny with almost no filling.

Ha Long Bay continues to be one of my favorite spots in Pinellas, and it's easy to see why. The…read moremenu spans dim sum, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes, so you can build a meal that hits every craving in one sitting -- which is exactly what we did last night. We started with dim sum: taro dumplings (three pieces) and shark fin dumplings (four pieces) -- despite the name, there's no shark fin involved, it's just named for the shape, which resembles a shark fin. Filling-wise it tasted like a shu mai with pork and shrimp, just sealed closed rather than open-topped. Their house-made hot chili sauce was a standout -- just the right amount of heat without overpowering the dumplings. For entrées, I went with the Com Thit Nuong (Vietnamese grilled pork chop with egg), and my wife had the Banh Xeo (Vietnamese pork and shrimp crepe). We also ordered the salt and pepper calamari, which stole the show for me -- the batter was light and perfectly seasoned, fried up crunchy, and tossed with garlic and hot chilies. Hands down my favorite dish of the night. They also do a Mandarin-style pork chop that reminds me of the Peking-style pork chops you'd find in Chinatown, NYC -- a nice touch for anyone missing that flavor down here in Florida. Between the variety, the quality, and the consistency, Ha Long Bay remains a go-to for us. Highly recommend going in with a group so you can sample across all three cuisines.

Menu has a large selection and they came by with their dim sum cart and offered us some selections. Their pork dumpling and beef bun was good. Pho: 3/5, spices were too fragrant and almost all I could taste from the soup. Bun Bo Hue: 4/5, a bit too sweet for my liking but still good! Beef fried rice: 5/5, star of the show! So good and cooked very well. Sichuan beef: 2/5, thought it was gonna be more Chinese infused but it was just stir fry. Garlic pork chops: 2/5, heard great things but this was okay and too sweet. Almost tasted like ice-cream. Overall, food was good and I wouldn't mind coming back.

I visited before a Rays game and was immediately impressed by both the service and the food. The staff was attentive without hovering, the pacing was excellent, and the entire experience felt polished and intentional. I ordered the Bibimbap with bulgogi steak, tofu, fried egg, kimchi, vegetables, gochujang, and crispy rice, along with two spring rolls. What stood out most was the balance. The dish delivered heat, sweetness, savory depth, texture, and freshness without relying on heavy sauces or excessive portions. Every ingredient maintained its own identity while contributing to the overall flavor of the dish. Too many restaurants create flavor by drowning food in sauce. Hawkers does it through seasoning, spices, and technique. There was no puddle of sauce at the bottom of the bowl, no overly sweet glaze, and no greasy heaviness. The rice absorbed flavor without becoming soggy, and the kimchi, vegetables, egg, tofu, and bulgogi worked together beautifully. The spring rolls were equally impressive. Light, crisp, delicate, and perfectly executed, with a thin wrapper and just the right amount of crunch. What impressed me most was that I left satisfied, not stuffed. The portions were thoughtful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were layered rather than overwhelming. Since moving to Florida, this ranks as one of the best restaurant meals I have had. Highly recommended.

I've been looking at weekday menus, so I inadvertently brought us on the weekend when the menu was different and didn't have things my kids would eat. However, my husband and I really enjoyed the food. I tried a Matcha latte with oat milk and Ube cold foam. It is amazing, no notes. I would get it every single time. We also tried their soup, dumplings, steamed chicken dumplings, pickled vegetable side, pork bun, and shrimp and pork bun. I can't eat the buns since I don't eat pork, but everything else was amazing. One of my sons did end up choosing a chocolate croissant so I tried a little and it was very good as well. This isn't your grocery store croissant. It was buttery and flaky with a good amount of chocolate. Inside is filled with eclectic decor, and you can purchase the art on the wall. Everyone who worked here was very friendly. They have a small parking lot out front, but this place isn't around a ton of other things so I would assume parking is no problem. If I lived closer, I would come back for the Matcha latte alone. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

People working there are super nice and it's a plus that they have plenty of parking.

As I'm not a particular fan of Chinese food, my lovely bride is my specialist on the genre. The ambiance: Chinese restaurants are known for their lack of ambiance. ABC (the name still slays me) wasn't anything special but they did have plenty of Chinese News Years celebration material everywhere which did brighten up the place. The food: We ordered the hot and sour soup which was spot on. My bride thinks most make it too spicy. From there we ordered the fried dumplings which were deep fried. They were good but we prefer them pan fried.on to the General Tause Chicken which was excellent. On to fried Tofu which was also made to perfection. Our last additions was the Chinese Broccoli which I had never had but was surprisingly good. Finally, we had the fried rose which was ok but not stand out.
