Capital Seafood ★★★ 1/2

Lobster with Rice Noodle ($9.99) Delicious but only available in Dim Sum Hour.

Shrimp with Mustroom - Good

Sticky Rice without the wrap.

Nice Decor



This is my 20th Dim Sum Restaurant review for the San Gabriel Valley - not even in China are there as many dim sum places in one region! 

Capital Seafood has been around for some time. It is one of the staple restaurants that serve dim sum and seafood, and is actually more famous for hosting weddings since the decor is quite nice. This review will be based only on the dim sum experience.

Parking can be very difficult especially on the weekends  since it shares the plaza with 99 Ranch supermarket.  

Lobster with Rice Noodle $9.99 - Must-get item! The lobster meat is fresh and there are strong flavors. I suggest getting the Yee Mein noodle instead.

The dim sum, in general, is a disappointment here, with no stand-outs. Despite coming in at 1 pm, many of the items have been sitting in the cart for a long time. The quality and taste are similar to New Capital which is far cheaper. 

Tips: There's a place for take-out dim sum which is located next to Kee Wah Bakery in the same plaza.  Basically leftovers for which you can get discount prices after 4pm. 

Since dim sum is so competitive in the area, unless you really want the lobster noodle and like the decor, there are at least 5 other dim sum restaurants within a 1-mile radius.
