Best Dim Sum Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"There are a number of Capital Seafood locations spread throughout Los Angeles and Orange County — each one with a different vibe, menu, and price. Capital Seafood Beverly Hills has the fanciest interior. Capital Seafood Monterey Park is the most affordable and still employs push carts. Capital Seafood Arcadia ranks as the supreme location with an upscale cart-less experience with favorites like spinach dumplings, mini egg tarts, and roast duck. And Capital Seafood Irvine is the most over-priced but carries typical dim sum like har gow, siu mai, and a variety of buns." - Kristie Hang

This place is packed on Sunday dinner. Also it's a place where a lot of families come to celebration bdays. We waited for 20mins for table for 3, and 10mins to order. The foods came out one dish at a time, with 10-15mins gap. We ordered 4 dishes and by the time we down with dish one, we have to wait 5mins for the next and so forth. They are popular with lobsters since 90% of tables have lobster (we didn't) and they came out fast....The foods are good, nice portion, and tasty. Service is great, friendly and helpful...wish the foods can come out faster. The place is a typical Chinese style, just more of modern side and clean and airy. Prices wise are not bad, very reasonable. Overall, beside slow turnaround, very good.

We ordered Shrimp Walnut, Shrimp Fried Rice, Garlic Green Beans, Chow Mein, White Rice, and their famous Butter Garlic Lobster. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were fresh and well-balanced. To top it off, we also had Thai Iced Tea, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The restaurant itself was very clean, and parking was easy, which made visiting stress-free. The only downside was that the dining area had a noticeable bleach smell, which was a bit distracting while eating which gave me a headache. Aside from that, the environment felt comfortable, welcoming, and well-kept. Overall, Capital Seafood delivered a fantastic meal with excellent service, and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone craving flavorful seafood and Chinese dishes in Garden Grove.

Great food and excellent service! Every dish we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The staff checked on us often—unlike many places where you barely see them until it’s time for the check. Highly recommend this spot!

the house of house special everything. we ordered house special lobster and added garlic noodles ($13 extra); fried fish; walnut shrimp; ong choi; french-style beef. the lobster was $29/lb and minimum is 3.5lbs per lobster. they explain this to you right away when you order the lobsterand they show you the selected live lobster first before cooking it. it is popularly paired with garlic noodles for an extra charge. the noodles were heavy on the pepper and the whole dish is on the spicy side. the lobster was hard to enjoy because some pieces are really stuck to the shell. it was good to try once but probably won't order it again. the french-style beef was very underwhelming - the cut of the beef was tough and dry. the star of the show for us was the honey walnut shrimp. the size of the shrimp was pretty good. the crispiness and flavor were spot-on and most especially, the amount of shrimp wasn't disguised by a mountain of broccoli like some establishments do. service was good. they explain anything that is not ordernary right away like they made sure to mention the price of lobster right away, that the noodles and white rice cost extra and when we tried to order the green beans, the mentioned right away that it has ground pork and cannot be omitted, which i appreciated knowing.

My family and I still enjoy coming to Capital Seafood. The ambiance is welcoming, staff is always accommodating and the food is still a 10! We come here for family birthdays, special gatherings or even if we have that craving of authentic Chinese Cambodian flavors. If the restaurant doesn’t close even during holidays, it’s definitely a special place to visit! It’s always a big feast for big families and it’s worth it! Thanks Kelvin!!!!

This was our first visit. Waiting for a table took approximately 35 minutes, but we did arrive at peak time on Labor Day. The restaurant specializes in DELICIOUS seafood-focused Chinese entrees and Asian small plates. The location offers ample free parking, including designated disabled parking spaces near the entrance, making it convenient for those with disabled parking placard permits. The staff was busy, but our server attended to our needs promptly without delay or requiring us to ask for assistance. Ambiance was tranquil and enjoyable!

Great place for gathering. Food is tasty and comes out in a hurry, ready for hungry pickleballers after morning play. I would have taken pictures of the food, but it disappeared into our bellies so fast. Maybe next time.

I really like how they remodeled this place over the years! The food is on point! We went here for dinner on Mother's Day. Food took slightly long to come out but it was still good! My favorite is the sweet and sour soup! We finished that so fast! Second favorite was the piping hot eggplant with garlic sauce. The cut it in the perfect shape so it was easy to grab and the inside of the eggplant didn't get mushed together. Third favorite was the house special fish fillet. It came out hot and crispy. The remaining dishes were also good.

Capital Seafood is going through a revival with a refresh of the interior, menu and heavy social media marketing. I hadn't been here in decades but the family went recently so we all went today. Experience was pretty good. They have a good variety of lunch special items which are smaller plates at $12.50 each. We were a 10 top eating family style of course, and they were big enough to give us all a good sampling of each dish. A few items were not available as lunch special but they were bigger plates and still reasonably priced so no biggie. We were at $172 before tip ($5 discount for cash) which you can't beat for a lunch this good for 10 people. The good: house special flavor - we had squid. My favorite today. Gonna try the lobster house special next time King Pao Chicken, one of the best I've had. Nice and crispy, great flavor. Other dishes were pretty good and about on par with Seafood Cove, though the hot and sour soup used ground pork instead of cut strips which knocked it down a notch. The not so good: aforementioned soup was not complimentary with the lunch unlike at Seafood Cove. And when the waiter brought it, he didn't scoop it out in the bowels for us. The least favorite dish was the honey walnut shrimp. The texture was great, the shrimp was perfectly fried, but the dish was bland overall. Needed more salty, sweet, mayonnaise flavors, they were all missing. Like I said, a good experience overall with excellent value so we will be back but it doesn't unseat Seafood Cove in this category of dining.

I have been coming here since their grand opening n later change of ownership. It has been always the best Chinese food now in Little Saigon after FuriwA n Seafood World went out of business they are It! So why you may ask why it's 3 stars today. 1) the bathroom lock was broken at least 15 years ago, seriously they remodeled the entire restaurant last year n still didn't replace the lock? I was tired of defending my privacy, it's time I mention this. 2) Very few places charge for credit card in fact most stopped as this turned people off, I was ok w it when they charged 2% but it's now almost 4% it's not cool at all. 3) It was freezing cold n so windy, the door was constantly being open, the restaurant was so cold as it was NEVER EVER HEATED. I was going to dine in but decided to take out not wanting to be uncomfortable n might even get sick . Shock me at least by fixing the lock n maybe 1 of 2 items changed n I will rate it 5 stars again.

Terrible Christmas Day pick up experience. They don't do preorders so I called right at opening to schedule a pick up. Ended up waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes.. ridiculous. So ridiculous I ended up joking with two other strangers, one who had been waiting 45 minutes and the other 1 hour and 20 minutes, about how bad it was. Very unorganized and chaotic inside for pick up and dine in. Felt like all employees were too busy to help or just said "coming soon" without really checking.

Delicious fresh food filled with flavor and quality. Great customer service from the staff- attentive and efficient. Place can get loud due to a great space for group dining but doesn't disappoint and amazing experience every time. Ideal spot for a large family gathering with love ones. Suggest calling to reserve your spot though. Lots of parking right in front and on the side of the building.

You know what they say, if the service is bad, the food is going to be good haha! And yes some of the servers were a tad rude here and there but we came for the lunch specials. Service wise, to reiterate yes they were a little rude but got our order correct. It takes them a while to get water like what some other review said and you can see some of the servers bickering and getting mad at each other too but whatever. The main point is the food and is why we initially came here. Our go to spot seafood port closed down and we've been trying to find a nearer spot to replace that. And so far it got the approval of my dad because he's the Chinese food connoisseur and he said compared to other Chinese spots, it's sweeter and has a lighter flavor and made him question if they even use MSG. But let's say the lunch special portions are worth it! And we will be back for it. Aside from that. I also judge places based off their bathrooms and it was pretty clean but I did notice that the soap dispenser was broken... and I wasn't going to dip my hands in that soap. So brings me to question them, are they washing their hands after use? Food 5/5 Service 3.5/5 Bathroom 2.5/5

Decided to give this place a try since my family and I were in the Garden Grove area. When we arrived, our party were the only customers dining in. We ordered 1 appetizer (large, 10 pieces salt and pepper chicken wings) and 5 lunch specials. The lunch orders came 2 at a time until our party received all 5 lunch specials. But wait... what happened to the appetizer?!? So we followed up with our waitress and she said, "Oh I forgot it." Interesting response I thought, especially when placing our order we asked what was the difference between the small and large- and she recommended the large for our party size. So, she goes back to the kitchen and enters the order. Our party is pretty much finished with our main courses and the appetizer STILL hasn't been served (minus 1 star). So we ask again about the chicken wings and the waitress tells us that a small order (5 pieces) was prepared instead of the large order (10 pieces) because the cook "misunderstood the order" (minus 1 Star). Disappointing. I expected the waitress to offer to compensate the dish ($12 for the 5 pieces) since the restaurant was responsible for this customer inconvenience. Instead I had to ask for the comp, but the waitress still had to ask her manager (minus 1 star). The chicken wings were compensated, however we definitely won't be coming back to this restaurant. Hence the 2/5 Yelp rating.

Solid Chinese/Viet restaurant, complete with glass turntables and hot jasmine tea! I like this place a lot, I think it's homely and nostalgic. The servers are kind and very hardworking. Flavors are big and garlicky! But big flavors also come with a lot of sodium, so you'll be knocked out for the rest of the day lol. But it's worth it if you're willing to take the plunge :)

Came here for Friendsgivings and it was a good option for big group! They were super friendly, tentative, and always making sure we were taken care of. The food came out quick, the highlights of the night were the honey walnut shrimp, stir fry veggies, and the soup! Love how they combined the tables for the 13 of us instead of doing 2 separate round tables!

Absolutely Terrible Service We have been wanting to try this spot FOREVER... we're regular Seafood Cove goers/ Peking Gourmet goers. Yet finally trying Capital Seafood was the biggest disappointment ever! Worst service I've ever had in my life. My son spilled a small glass of water, four staff walked by and did nothing ... no napkins... no refill... no help... yet they constantly checked on other tables. Restaurant wasn't busy, felt rather slow compared to their long lines they usually have to be seated. Yet we still waited forever for two items. You even have to pay for steamed rice per person. Seafood Cove would never.. Ordered House Special Lobster w/ Garlic Noodles, but it was overly peppery & lacked garlic & butter. Kids couldn't even eat them because it was too spicy/peppery. Sucha bummer if that's truly their house special because we love house special every where else & here wasn't even close to that buttery rich taste you usually get from house special items. Even their salt & pepper pork chop didn't hit the mark the way it does at some of our other go to spots. We had to flag someone down to ask for water, which mind you was half way through our meal before we even received any drinks.... when we finally got water, they brought only two glasses... but there was FOUR of us... so ridiculous. So we had to ask for two more. Between being ignored, getting food we didn't enjoy, and long waits, this was beyond disappointing.

Would definitely order it every time! 10/10 this place is an Orange County institution. Service was great too!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in OC. Service can be slow if you come during peak times, but the 'House Special' dishes here are winners. We ordered the squid, fish and string beans lunch specials -- 3 items for $40 including a bucket of rice and hot tea (but no soup). Their House Special Squid is better than most Italian restaurant fried calamari and most Chinese restaurant salt & pepper squid. *Note* This is not the same "Capital Seafood" in Irvine or Monterey Park -- different owners, different food, different ambience entirely. Also FYI- their lobster price is $29/lb

This is the classic Orange County Chinese seafood restaurant you come to for all the special occasions. My retired lawyer dad has been bringing his clients here since they first opened, and it's still just as good today. The food is bold, rich, and full of flavor. Our family favorites are the House Special Lobster with Garlic Noodles, Shaken Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Crispy Fillet Fish, and Green Beans. The service is good, but you do have to flag them down sometimes since it's always busy and packed. Once they come, they're fast and efficient. The restaurant still has that classic look, which I love, but it could use a little attention in keeping the space tidier and supplies out of sight. The tables, though, are always clean and ready. It's one of those places that becomes part of your family story. Every gathering here turns into a core memory.

Worst experience I've ever had. No rice. Poor service. No wonder they shut down before. Keep it up and it'll shut down again. Do yourself a favor and go to Seafood Cove down the street. Better price. Better service. Better food. And most importantly they have rice.

Been wanting to try this place and ended up for dinner for my birthday! Clean and friendly staff. Had the house special lobster with noodles, house special shrimp with noodles, French style beef, & combination fried rice! Everything came out hot and delicious! House special lobster with noddles was amazing! Great flavor, a little spice with sweet and savory! The house special shrimp wow!

I seen a lot of mixed reviews but have been wanting to give this place a try. I went in yesterday afternoon (Saturday) and it was pretty empty. I was expecting a full house. There were only 2 other tables dining in. Throughout our meal there were people trickling in and out for takeout and a few more parties came. It's a Chinese higher end restaurant that's on the pricier side that has a huge selection of items, but I think I hear the waiters speak what sounded like Khmer. Probably Cambodian-Chinese family owned. The older sweet lady taking our order and helping us the entire time was wonderful! There was a big language barrier but bless her heart we were all trying to understand each other. Other than that she was really attentive and like a caring grandmother who takes care of you. We ordered the live house special lobster with noodles, the fried intestines, salt and pepper chicken wings, and the house special calamari. Everything was amazing I'm not sure why so many unfavorable reviews. The house special sauce complimented the lobster really good I enjoyed the flavors! The noodles were cooked perfectly and thick and bouncy how I like them. You must also get the house special calamari! I read good reviews on it and it lives up to its hype! It was deep fried but covered in the house special sauce which might be the same as the lobster sauce. They were big rings and piping hot. The salt and pepper wings were cool but nothing too crazy. They were kind of pink still inside but I'm sure they were fully cooked. I love the toppings it came with; big chunks of green onions, white onions, and Serrano peppers. The fried intestines were good but average. They were paired with pickled veggies and sweet and sour sauce. All foods were delicious we really enjoyed it! They were all perfectly cooked and the flavors all went together so well! A lot of reviews here complaining of the price but again this restaurant is more on the pricier side of a Chinese restaurant with most entrees costing about ~$22. Their portions are generous though and the quality speaks for itself.

Negative 1000 stars if it was offered. Service is horrible they don't care about their customers at all we waited over 30mins for our table hence we had a party for 15 so we knew we needed 2 tables they told us 30 mins we waited over 30 mins just for 1 table they expected us to wait another 30mins for another table for our other half of our party when they had another table open right next to us the guy behind the register argued with my mom about the table situation and how it's for some one else but mind you no one else was waiting for a table beside us we finally decided to leave and go to seafood cove 2 instead they didn't care about us leaving at all cuz they didn't even try to make accommodations or anything obviously they got too popular and lost interest in their customer service such a shame we won't be coming back to this horrible place again

If I could give this place a 10 star rating I would. The beef was to die for. Literally one of my favorite spots to eat in OC. I would come here every special occasion with my family because they do food and service right! Staff was extremely professional and friendly. Don't forget the lobster my god it was AMAZING.

Solid Chinese food spot! We ordered the Mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp, salt and pepper pork ribs and the seafood hot pot (Canh). All dishes were delish! Loved how the hot pot soup was flavored - both sour and umami notes. I also loved the sauce the salt and pepper pork ribs came with- had garlic and jalapeños! Honey walnut shrimp was ok, had too much batter. And lastly Mongolian beef has a sweet satay type of sauce but overall pretty good! I would go here again.

We came here to celebrate Chinese New Year and enjoyed a delicious feast, but unfortunately, the service didn't quite match up. The restaurant was packed with large groups, and it was clear they were understaffed--servers were rushing around, and getting assistance took quite a while. That said, the food was great, and we could tell they were doing their best given how busy it was. We might give this place another try after the CNY rush to see if the experience is better when things aren't so hectic. Would recommend coming during a less busy time if you want a more relaxed dining experience!

We came for a Lunar New Year dinner and it was a good experience. We had a reservation, so that helps bypass the wait. The ambiance is clean and typical. The service was friendly and a little slower than usual, but they gave us a heads up it would be a little slower since it was busy. The food was just okay. The portions seemed smaller than other restaurants. The clams hardly had any clams, the soup was noticeably smaller. There were four of us and all the dishes were almost empty with each of us just having one normal sized serving. The taste of the food was good, yet nothing special. The most flavorful was the E-mein and House special fish filet.

I love coming here for my Vietnamese / Chinese fix. All the dishes are comforting and anything house special is delicious. My go to orders are the Kung pao chicken, house special shrimp or calamari, whole fried fish and canh chua. Sautéed pea sprouts are good too I just don't think the price is that worth it. If you pay cash, it's a few dollars cheaper. I never had to wait for dinner before.

Maybe it was because it was his birthday, but every bite felt like a celebration. This is a great spot for groups, and you'll want to bring at least five friends or family members. We came on a Saturday around 1:30 pm, and our group of six was seated immediately. They have a shared private lot, so parking was easy. Our server was friendly and gave excellent recommendations. I usually trust staff picks, and I'm glad I did. The food came out quickly and hot. Honestly, I barely remembered to take photos because the aroma and flavors grabbed my full attention. What we ordered: * House Special Lobster - Perfectly cooked and tossed in a peppery, slightly sweet, umami-forward sauce with green onions. Outstanding. * House Special Shrimp - Same house special sauce as the lobster, with a lightly crispy coating and jalapeños. One of the best shrimp dishes I've had in a long time. * French Style Beef - Tender cubes of filet mignon in a rich, savory sauce. Similar to shaken beef and just as memorable. * Mongolian Beef - Tender, flavorful, with the right balance of savory and sweet, green onions and red onions included. * Kung Pao Chicken - Tender chicken, peppers, peanuts, and green onions with the perfect amount of sauce and heat. * Fried Prawn Balls, Preserved Vegetables, and Ong Choy - All delicious, and I'm running out of adjectives to keep saying that. * Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice - How am I just discovering this now? I would have loved some fried shallots on top, but that's just my personal preference. I do wonder if the food would taste just as incredible without the birthday glow. Only one way to find out. Guess I'll be back soon.

The wait wasn't long, the guy who calls the numbers out was very pleasant. Our server was a bit rude I'd give him a 4/10. The inside was nice and nostalgic loved it. I went to this place for the first time because the lobster noodles caught my attention on tik tok. Those lobster noodles 10/10. Steak skirt (I think that's the name) 10/10. Garlic String beans 7/10 (could've been more flavorful), beef and broccoli 5/10 (it just wasn't that), sweet and sour chicken 1/10 (8 specially asked if it was close to orange chicken... it came with tomatoes and was soggy) finally the green Thai tea 3/10 overly sweet . Yes I would go back .

Good quality food here and very reminiscent of my childhood. Quantity is a little smaller than other seafood restaurants imo so items like the clams were not worth as I felt we only got so many and the flavor was really bland. Pea sprouts were my favorite veggie and I liked the fried intestines. Everything else was good too.

Had our late lunch, around 1:30pm. It was noisy, hard to chat. Basically u were there just to have the food. Also, it took so long for the food to be served. Though they were friendly. Reviews for the orders: - House special Lobster garlic noodle: lobster kinda dry and noodle taste more into pepper rather than garlic - Rice was definitely my kind as it was dry; seems they serve jasmine rice - Fried tofu was soft and good - Fried calamari was alright; chewy level was just nice - Fried fish fillet was okay - interestingly there was Teochew steam fish which was good - Chicken wing didn't have the chance as I was too full - Honey walnut shrimp was okay as the shrimp kinda dry. - Black pepper beef was juice and "pepperish" indeed. - Chinese tea was bad. Overall, it was okay, good experience.

I came here Father's Day afternoon and had taken about an hour to be seated. The portions were more than enough, the food was flavorful not overcooked. The service overall was lower than average, we would request more water or pepper it would take us multiple times asking in order for it to be done which took away from our eating experience there. The place was very busy with multiple crowds waiting to be seated outside. We were seated tucked away in the back table right outside the restrooms, there was only 5 of us so we were able to sit on the side away from the walk way but I imagine the seating is this way to maximize how many tables they're able to fit.

Very unorganized! We literally watched a family sign up after us and still get seated before us. We were a party of three, and they were a party of four. The host was trying to do everything--sign people up, clean tables, and handle payments--which made things really chaotic. You can tell this place is busy and likely does well, but they really need to hire more staff to keep things running smoothly. The food was good, but honestly, it's not worth dealing with the bad service. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Hands down, this was the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. I went to Capital Seafood and every single dish was unbelievably fresh and flavorful. The seafood was clearly high quality, cooked to perfection, and packed with taste. I genuinely don't think any meal after this will come close. If I had to choose a last meal, without a doubt, it would be from here. That's how good it was. From the first bite to the last, it was pure perfection. Highly, highly recommend!

The Stir fried lobster was the best one I've ever had. The server was super funny! And the restaurant in general was very neat and tidy

Be aware of placing to-go orders here. They have got to improve the ordering system. I placed a phone order for pick up which was super rushed. Did not even ask for a name and hung up quicker before i could clarify. I had a feeling this could cause potential issues and it did. When I arrived at the cashier, he couldn't seem to find my order and begins to place a new one into the system.. I pay and wait. I did not expect to have to wait for almost 30 minutes. I ask for an update to which I got dismissed and ignored to wait. I see others come in and place orders. One woman was also there to pick up and he didn't even have her order either and makes her have to wait too. I see a family who came after me receive their order immediately and once I come up again to check, the cashier gives me my order that was sitting on the counter since I arrived.. I try to ask and explain that I was waiting unnecessarily for so long as my food was getting cold. All he could offer was apologies and couldn't even redo my order. The new management needs to improve and change how things work around here. It still feels the same chaos as if nothing has really changed. Place was chaotic and hectic. Portions also way smaller for lunch special compared to other restaurants nearby who can offer faster service and bigger portions for the same lunch price.

The best shrimp dish ever. Literally the best EVER! After ordering lobster, beef, chicken and noodles my brother asked what's good and the server recommended the fried shrimp and when my brother responded saying eh na the waiter said if u don't like it I'll take care of it. Seriously it was delicious. The restaurant is great I believe it's been open for around 30 years it is in Garden Grove in or next to little Saigon the staff were all very friendly and the food was delicious. Gotta say the orange chicken was not so good but the French beef, lobster with garlic noodles and the darn fried shrimp were so delicious I will definitely go back.

The kao pow chicken was so yummy, I order it every time I come here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The salt and pepper pork is a bit oily and is lacking some flavor, but it has a very crispy texture with a satisfying crunch. The vegetables with garlic always hit too, must order.

Food and service is pretty good! I personally like the kung pao chicken and the stir fried pea sprouts or ong choy
