Service was accommodating but communication was difficult as only a few could understand English.
Food is good, may not be to my experience in HK restaurants.
Would come back without hesitation as I hardly cook anymore 😕

Capital Seafood was recommended to me by a friend who grew up in the SGV area and immediately told me to go here!
We showed up on a Sunday at 930am and there were ample seats. It started to get packed around 10:00am but still were seats available as it is a huge dining area.

Capital Seafood offers a great dim sum experience with a wide variety of dishes, including popular items like shrimp dumplings (Har Gow) and pork/shrimp dumplings (Siu Mai). The fried rice and fried peppered pork are also highly recommended for their delicious flavors. The restaurant features a large, impressive interior despite its modest outside appearance, and it can accommodate big parties, making it a suitable venue for large gatherings.
The service is generally quick and attentive, with food carts coming around frequently, allowing diners to start eating right away. However, it can be a bit challenging to flag down staff for menu orders, especially when the place is busy. The restaurant offers good value, with affordable beer at $5 a bottle and reasonable prices for dim sum in the North American context.
While parking on weekends can be difficult, and bathrooms are not the cleanest, the overall food quality and lively atmosphere, sometimes with karaoke in another room, create an enjoyable dining experience. Capital Seafood is a place worth visiting for those seeking tasty dim sum in a large and vibrant setting.
