A solid dim sum restaurant that is parental approved!! The quality is definitely on par with other dim sum spots and this place even has non dim sum things during lunch. Had I had more stomach space, I'd wanted to try some non dim sum things (like lobster noodle, crispy noodle with seafood sauce). Noteworthy dim sum things include: - puff pastry almond soup - lava pineapple bun pastry - custard pineapple bun - sponge cake Definitely would come again!

This was my go-to place to eat Chinese food ever since I was little. We went here for my sister's 50th birthday brunch and it was excellent. The menu was easy to read and the dim sum choices were excellent. Mostly everything I wanted and usually get but there were some fried things that I wish were there. We got there at an early time so there was no wait and tables were available. I would definitely come here again. I'm glad their quality has not changed.

I came here for a dim sum lunch with my retired boss. He turned 70!! We ordered a variety of dim sum. The restaurant was not too busy and we were seated right away. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The service was great and we left feeling satisfied with our dim sum fix.

Capital Seafood is the perfect place to cure your dim sum cravings! I grew up going to Capital Seafood every Sunday so the entire experience is now extremely nostalgic to me. I came on a Sunday morning so it was pretty packed - my party was quoted a 30 minute wait time but the table was ready in abt 15! This location is huge, with multiple different rooms for different parties/occasions. The inside is clean and feels slightly more modern compared to other dim sum restaurants. The service is what you can expect from a typical Chinese restaurant, very efficient but not particularly attentive. We had to flag down a worker at times to get a refill on water for the teapot. There are no dim sum carts at this location, but people do come around with trays offering certain dishes. The food stays consistently delicious. My all-time favorite has to be the salted egg yolk custard bun. The bun is filled to the brim with custard! I also really enjoyed the smelt fish. All the food came out in a timely manner and were warm when it hit our table. Capital Seafood is a must try! Parking: Ample parking in the plaza.

I have waited too long to come here. Thanks to a friend for the invite I'm finally here. Not here for dim sum this evening. This is an opportunity to try the regular menu. My favorite was the shrimp and walnut and the shrimp rolls. Shrimp is plump for both items. You just have to order these to really know how good these are! Fried rice has sliced bbq pork which is good. Cubed sirloin is tasty and recommend a bowl of white rice, bok choy is a staple when I go to Chinese restaurants and theirs are fresh! The Peking style chicken is not bad but not my favorite since I would not order Peking recipe of anything. Staff is helpful with recommendations. Most speak English so it makes it easy to ask questions. Restaurant is clean. Parking lot shared with other restaurants. Definitely coming back for dim sum!

I prefer this over the other Capital Seafood locations. I feel like this place is better cause this location does not have the push cart. You order what you want off the paper and you get fresh stuff right away. There is no angry lady throwing food at you out of the cart like some other locations so it is not authentic in a way but that is okay with me. Get the duck!
