Abacus is a beautiful modern chinese restaurant and it reminds me of those nice restaurants you find on holiday. The service is very quick and they are friendly but its the food that makes this place special, the food here is mouthwatering and the menu is really good, the only down side hence the 4 stars not 5 is the...

Having been there a few times, my family & I now have a set meal when there. They have, however, a very wide-ranging menu and their food is exquisite, if not a slight bit pricey. Either way, the ambiance and staff are great and I will certainly be going again!

We had a group buffet here on NYE. The food was excellent, really fresh and tasty with lots of choice, and a veggie option which also looked delicious. The staff and service were also excellent. Some thought it was pricey but for NYE I thought it was good value. £17 for the 3 course buffet.

It's a good looking restaurant and it was busy. The service was attentive and quick. I still want steamed dim sum and if they did that I would be here... More

Attentive staff , kept drinks flowing. No waiting inbetween for dishes but was very quiet as we went Thursday at 7.30pm , filled up a bit later on. Not cheap but certainly not over priced for good well presented food.

+ Points : Abacus is very well located next to the cinema on the Middlebrook Retail Park it is nicely furnished and it has a good menu. - Points : Very bland under seasoned food which looked either very anaemic in colour or was over coloured. I ordered the Japanese pan-fried chicken gyoza (dumplings) which appeared to have been steamed... More
