Capital Seafood Restaurant

I was a little skeptical at first when I found out that this place had both Chinese and Vietnamese food because sometimes either one is better than the other or both would be equally mediocre. We didn’t have any issues with the parking here since it was shared in the whole plaza. We came around 5:10pm on a Wednesday and it wasn’t busy at first. After a few minutes, this place had a lot of people. I believe it was 5:45pm at that time.
I wanted to try their Phở Tai ($ 8.95) so I ordered that. We also ordered the Mongolian Beef ($ 13.95), the pork clay pot, the half Fried Crispy Chicken ($ 13.95) and rice. It sounded like a lot of food and it was.
The Phở Tai was surprisingly good since the broth tasted just like places I’ve been at in California. The meat was also good, but I noticed red onions were used instead of white onions. The Mongolian Beef was delicious, the pork clay pot was good and the half Fried Crispy Chicken was not bad. I was pretty full after finishing the Phở Tai and two plates of rice with the other food.
This place had good food and would recommend trying this place out with surprisingly good Vietnamese and Chinese food.

2 menus: 1 Chinese food and 1 Vietnamese food. 2 cooks. Large menus of tasty dishes. In the heart of Chinatown. I like the phở, hot pots, soups, sizzling plates and rice dishes. Family style servings and good service. Spacious place w/​lots of other Asian restaurants nearby.

Food was defiantly small portions for wedding banquet menu. Like seriously the smallest I have ever seen. Some stuff had good flavor like the beef and crab but others were not good like Ong choy and fish. All and all it was typical. Service was pretty good though!

Upstairs in Chinatown Plaza is this seafood-​centric spot, which shares it’s space with Phở Vietnam. Considering seafood is their forte (allegedly), I expected a bit better. Menu options include fish, shellfish, crab, squid, shrimp, and even sea cucumber– basically everything that comes from the sea, plus options that don’t (beef, chicken, pork).
I had a killer craving for salt and pepper shrimp (labeled here as House Special Shrimp) and found them perfectly crispy, with tons of fried green onion and jalapeño, but the actual shrimp itself was less salty and less peppery than other, more flavorful versions I’ve had in town.
We also got the sautéed spinach, add garlic, and found it to be tasty– comparable to the baby bok choy dish at Ichiza, except with spinach and a slightly less robust sauce. Dish was tasty but a bit gritty, as if it hadn’t been adequately rinsed.
Service was typical for Chinatown plaza– you order, you receive your food, and you have to hunt them down for anything else.

I wish it was consistent, first time I went I had the BEST low mein I have EvER had, it was in a delicious brown sauce very traditional Chinese — it was a combo with several meats and shrimp. This past Saturday it was terrible they didn’t use the right type of noodles they were flat and white, the sauce had a weird taste and the same combo had tiny shreds of pork, last time nice size pieces.
One noodle dish and one scallop, dish cost 37.00 with tip 43 – 00 for on, y 2 dishes was completely not worth it. So many Chinese restaurants 1 – 2 price (Emperors Garden for example) what we paid and consistent food quality.
For this price it should have included wor wonton soup and an appetizer.

I visited this restaurant yesterday for lunch about 11:30am. Initially it wasn’t busy. By the time I finished my meal, they were jumping. I don’t know my servers name, however she (a younger female) was knowledgeable and pleasant. My meal which consisted of phở, and crispy spring rolls, which is my favorite. There is usually a gentleman at the register, but I didn’t see him today. I wanted to thank him for his suggestiions of my take out lunch the last time I was in. It was a hit! OK that’s it for the pleasantries. There was a little short grumpy women, who has never waited on me before. My bill was $ 17 and I left a $ 3 tip on the table. When I stopped at the cashier to pay my bill, the little short grumpy women asked me if I had cash. I said «sorry, I don’t have anymore cash on me» The little short grumpy women, then rang everything and applied the balance to my debit card. I still had to sign my receipt. When I handed it back to her, she turned the receipt toward me and asked «No tip!»? I looked at her a little confused at first, but replied «I left it on the table». Now my blood pressure is rising, and I wanted to say a few things to her, for insulting me. I decided Unilocal would be a better way to go. She also reprimanded a young man (I believe he’s new) in their language about the number of place settings on the table. I don’t know his name either, but he wore black framed glasses and worked the room with the younger female server. You could tell by the expression on his face, that he was a little embarrassed, since she yeld across the room.
Well the little short grumpy older woman ruined my lunch. I thought about her condescending remark to me all the way home. Hopefully she is not the owner, because she should be a bus person only. This same little short grumpy older women borrowed the hot sauce from my table. She didn’t ask, but she did say hello as a distraction while she had to reach pass me to get it. When the little short grumpy older women retuned the hot sauce it literally was a drive-​by. It startled me to see the hot sauce sliding across my table like a baseball player sliding into home plate. She never broke her stride, and never looked back.
I’ve been eating lunch/​early dinner here since 2004, and as much as I really love the food, I haven’t decided if I will ever go back. I don’t eat Phở anywhere but here.
So to all the other staff, I apologize to you, that this «little short grumpy woman» has adjusted your rating with her unprofessional behavior!

Food is very mediocre, nothing to drive home about. The vegetables were lousy, clay pot was lousy, steamed fish was decent, shrimp was dull, and service was typical of a Chinese restaurant and the guy who took our order didn’t speak Chinese which is always welcoming at a Chinese restaurant right?
After 8 dishes, the bill came out to $ 160 and we had about 6 people and asked if they included gratuity and they lied and said no so we paid 15% tip on top of gratuity. My mom was curious about how it came out so expensive so we took a menu and did the math and turns out they did add gratuity so that’s great as well.
Steer clear friends.
My family told me not to be surprised since Chinese restaurants are notorious for cheating their customers. Always check your bill before paying!

Food was good and generous serving. We got the food we ordered within 15 minutes. Staff are nice but we did not get our drinks and utensils until we were halfway done eating (with chopsticks)

It seems like every time we come to china town in Vegas, we stop by here to eat. This place is great for a little bit of every kind of Asian food you can imagine.
The food is really good but beware, the service isn’t great. We had to physically flag a server down to take our order and once the food came out, they didn’t really ever come back.
Be ready to spend a good amount of money here. My sister and I ordered soup, two dishes, and drinks which totaled $ 60! We didn’t even get any alcohol or market seafood dishes!
The food is good but maybe next time I will stick with their phở.

Also my good phở, best soup never change, I try other restaurant but this still my first choice

Well that was a scare. Had to call EMS cuz I was having trouble breathing when I went to the restaurant. I wasn’t getting enough oxygen compared to outside, so my body was struggling to balance it out. Overall, food is pretty good for Chinese food.
–1 star for piss poor ventilation system. It’s like they went full blast cool a/​c with only a crack in the wall for air to get out.
Would go again if they fixed it.

Amazing Flavors. Jelly Fish was Great. Flounder, Shrimp Salad, Octopus, Stewed Crab. The food came out Family Style and there is always enough to share.

Completely disappointed with our lunch.
Ordered the seafood platter, roasted duck and a plate of veggies to share for a party of five.
Seafood platter barely had any seafood — shrimp I could count on one hand and had imitation crab meat and fish cakes. Not what I was expecting from a seafood platter. Also the whole dish was loaded with white cabbage.
The duck itself looked like it was mauled and the presentation was bad. Skin also was not crispy and not cleaned properly — had hairs still on the skin. Inedible and some parts were tough. I had roasted duck before in Philly and other parts of California and this doesn’t compare.
The reason why I am giving this place a one star review has to be the service. The service is the icing on the cake: tea pot was empty and never refilled until the end of our meal when they started dessert. Also, the duck came extremely late — to the point of where we finished all of the other plates and the roasted duck came out. When we questioned why it was late, we were given a «Oh, other places cook at different times we take longer». Since we were quite full and sick of waiting at this point we wanted half a duck. Their response? Put the duck on the table and walk away. Great service. Never coming here again.

This is one of the better Chinese restaurants here at the Las Vegas Chinatown. They were able to accommodate our party of 14 with a huge round table and a Lazy Susan which is rather small compare to the table and caused most people having to stand up in order to get their food.
Nevertheless, the important thing being the taste of the food. The flavors were really great without overloading with spices and heavy sauces.
One thing about this place is that it can be a bit harder to spot. The restaurant is located inside this plaza with an large decorative Chinese arch written in Chinese meaning «China Town». There are many restaurants here and Capital Seafood is located on the second floor with green lettering.
Location is good and the staff were attentive.

Came here for family lunch last week. Five of us and We ordered the following…
Crab soup
Peking duck
French beef
3.0 lbs Lobster with house sauce $ 29.95/lb
Sautéed garlic Chinese broccoli
Walnut shrimp
Fried sole fish with sweet n sour sauce
The food was savory and gratifyingly tasteful. No MSG, they say?! They also served in generous portions. We had plenty of leftovers.
Anyways, for the amount I paid, we might have as well went to Bacchanal @ Caesar’s Palace Buffet. It would have cost me less.

Is this place kidding me?! $ 90 for lobster noodles?! Only a 3 pound lobster… Uhh. Go across the plaza to Harbor Palace. Their 3 pound lobster noodle was only $ 38 (varies by season) and they have specials! Today was buy one get one free lobster. Such a steal!

Horrible food loaded with MSG ! Horrible service … Roaches crawling eeewwwww

The hot and sour fish cost $ 24.99 not $ 7.45 light the guy say. Service is really bad.

Went for lunch around 2:30. Kinda slow not many customers. Service like other reviews was really slow, not attentive and they all had a «I want to be somewhere else attitude».
I got a combination bahn mi. When it arrived I picked it up and the bread was warm. :-)
I bit into a crunchy, soft and crispy sandwich. Yummy. The veggies were really fresh, the meat had flavor and there was just enough heat to get my attention.
If the service had been better so would the rating be.

I came here with a friend last night before going to the Smith Center. This is one of her favorite places and I really enjoyed my meal.
First, she ordered way too much food for 2 people. We got beef chow fun, mixed vegetables with garlic, breaded salt and pepper pork chops, and a tofu hot pot. Yikes! The table was full and there were only two of us.
The dishes were all very good. My favorite was the hot pot. The tofu is fried first and then put in the broth. There were a couple of kinds of seafood in the hot pot and some chicken and pork. There were also some beautiful mushrooms that held the heat from the burner below. Be on guard to let the mushrooms cool a bit before eating.
A couple of things regarding service. We were seated and our server was prompt at getting our order. Since my friend is from Taiwan, she ordered in Chinese and I’m sure that helped our service.
At the end of the meal, they brought us a complimentary warm mung bean dessert that was very tasty – not too sweet. Our server also packaged up all the leftovers in take out boxes and I have enough in my refrigerator to feed half the Taiwanese army. It will taste good as leftovers.
One stereotype I encountered was that one of the servers placed a fork and spoon with extra napkins at my plate but not at my friends. I wanted to jab him with my chopsticks when he next went by, but I realize he was being helpful.
