My boyfriend and I decided to get take out but I regret eating here. The chow mein was obviously pre-made, was extremely dry. We also got the deep fri…

I have been going to the Capital for over 30 years. It is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the world ( and I travel for a living). When we first started going to the capital we used to just set an amount per plate and let them surprise us. This worked very well because they have many specialties that are not the usual Chinese fare. I would almost call this Cantonese fusion. A great place to take a group. Try the lettuce wrap, capital prawns, singapore prawns, mango chicken, hot and sour soup and many others. Very friendly owners and staff. This is a well run restaurant and is always a real treat to go there. Highly recommended. Tom
This restaurant was packed when we went 2 nights before Christmas!! The food was not too bad for a quiet little city in Chilliwack!! The serving size is small considering it is a Chinese restaurant! The food here is ok if you feel like Chinese food and you don’t want to drive an hour to neighboring cities for more authentic Chinese food!
First time ordering from Capital , heard it was the best in town , had tried a few other’s and they all were sub-par . I used to work as at a Chinese restaurant years ago delivering , and learned to cook and prepare almost the entire menu. We ordered 4 combo dinners and a pepper salt chicken wings. The sweet and sour pork was average , the almond chicken and prawns very average , Chow mein was plain and lacked flavor and no MEAT ?? . The chicken wings for $9.25 for six small wings that were supposed to be extra hot , lacked flavor and spice and 6 wings for $9.25 piss poor portion for cost. And as another reviewer claimed , he was told he couldn’t substitute having no sweet and sour sauce and instead had dry garlic , this is a simple process and not at all hard for the cook . The pork is deep fried and either sweet and sour sauce poured over it or you shake some salt and garlic powder on it .The Capital restaurant may have been good at one time , but it is truely just another poor excuse for Chinese food in the city of Chilliwack .Drive to Abbotsford or Mission , Jasmine Gardens , Tong-La’s and Mandarin Palace are far better . SAVE YOUR $ and go Elsewhere !!!!!!!!!
Love the capital prawns. Our fav. restaurant in Chilliwack .. my family comes out from white rock just to have there food. when we found out about the capital prawns ( to die for ) there not on the menu but just ask for them .. you wont be disappointed 🙂 love there lunch menu also ..
Change in Quality of Food /Poor Customer Service. As a long time customer of the Capital (15 + years) I have been very disappointed in the change in quality of the food over the past couple of months. Most recently, we made a large purchase which included dry garlic pork. My wife noticed that the dish had onions in it which was something it had not had in the past. When she called, she spoke to a gentleman who stated that there was no way that there were onions in the dish and that he had personally been cooking in the kitchen that night. He then added that we had purchased food from another restaurant and we were now trying to pass it off as coming from the Capital! He then offered a couple of free dishes to which my wife responded that she was not looking for free food but was questioning the change in the food.It is unfortunate that not only has the quality of the food suffered but that the customer service has suffered as well.We will be purchasing our Chinese Food elsewhere from now on (something the gentleman did not seem bothered by!!!)
Forgotten customer. On Friday February 6, 2015, at 4 pm the waitress sat myself and my husband down and forgot us. We left at 4:30, and as we were walking out no one even asked us what was wrong.No menu or service after sitting us down, even tho the older lady behind the register had made several eye contacts with me. Customers had come in after and were served. I have never been treated like this in any restaurant I definitely won’t be going back.
Teeny tiny portions. For two 12 dollar plates portions were kid size smallest portions I’ve ever recieved anywhere.. I would’ve been happier with thai way at the food court.
