text: When we first moved to Arizona we lived in Ahwatukee and Abacus Inn was on restaurant of choice on Elliot and th Fast forward years and one pops in closer to us so we thought we would give it a try nI liked it she did not It was not the same as we remembered Maybe we aged Maybe they did The place is tiny and packed There appears to be a brisk takeout business happening The menu appears to be lite on menu options and not like other Chinese joints where there are endless pages of options nWe preferred Shanghai on th and Happy Valley in the Frys shopping Center as our favorite Chinese in the Northwest side nThere is some serious commentary needed and it is how these Chinese restaurants seem to make take out orders over in restaurant orders They must teach them that in Chinese Food school but I have seen full packed restaurants of people waiting up to an hour for food while the take out is brisk I have seen people walk in order takeout and then sit and eat it whiles others wait I am not sure why they do this but all Chinese joints seem to partake in this mistake
