About This Spot

Stepping into Capital Seafood in Monterey Park is like entering a bustling hub where tradition and community gently meet. The space welcomes you with the steady rhythm of dim sum carts weaving through lively tables, each an invitation to share in a meal woven with familiarity and care. There’s a comforting sense of purposeful motion here—a place where the flow of dishes and conversations feels both unhurried and inevitably energetic.

The atmosphere carries a warm, lived-in charm that is easy to settle into. It’s not a quiet sanctuary but rather a vibrant neighborhood gathering spot, where friends and families come together around steaming plates and fragrant teas, creating moments that linger beyond the last bite. The well-worn push carts, laden with freshly made dim sum, speak to a deep respect for culinary craft and the joy of discovery through shared bites.

At the heart of the experience is the food’s honest freshness and tradition. From the light, translucent shrimp dumplings to the softly roasted slices of Peking duck, there’s a reassuring balance between familiar flavors and subtle surprises that unfold with each taste. The pace invites diners to savor—not rush—whether beginning the day with a comforting almond tea or winding through a midday dim sum adventure. It’s a place where fragrant seafood meets the tender crunch of perfectly fried delights, and desserts bring a quiet sweetness to round out the journey.

Hospitality here reflects the pulse of the community: attentive without fuss, allowing guests to feel both cared for and free to engage with the lively surroundings. While the room hums with activity, there’s space to find personal moments amid the shared celebration of food and tradition.

Had our Malaysian Club Chinese New Year dinner here and really enjoyed the experience -- especially with the festive lion dance performance that brought great energy! The dim sum and dishes were flavorful and fresh, and the service was attentive even with the busy crowd. Only downside is that the restrooms could definitely be cleaner and better maintained. Overall, a great spot for traditional Chinese dining and celebrations -- lively atmosphere, good food, just needs improvement in cleanliness.

Absolutely love Capital Seafood in Monterey Park! This gem has quickly become my go-to spot for authentic dim sum. Their house specials are simply outstanding, with a delightful variety that keeps me coming back for more. The dim sum selection, including shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and crispy spring rolls, is always freshly made and bursting with flavor. One of the best things about Capital Seafood is their generous portions at such affordable prices. You truly get amazing value without sacrificing taste. The friendly service adds to the experience, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The ambiance is inviting and visually appealing, setting the perfect backdrop for a delicious meal. And if you’re in the mood for something different, their fried rice and seafood chow mein are also fantastic options. If you're in California and craving authentic dim sum, you have to check out Capital Seafood. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Great dim sum for a great price as well! Definitely worth checking out! The tea was great too. We got seated immediately and the food carts came around so fast and so often. We weren’t waiting too long for anything.

This place has a huge variety of dim sum. Our favorite is the shrimp dumplings (Har Gow) and the pork/shrimp dumplings (Siu Mai). Their fried rice is delicious and fried peppered pork is nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I gave it a four because of the service. As soon as you're seated, the different carts come right away to your table and you can get dumplings and start eating right away. However, trying to flag down someone if you actually want to order something from the menu can take a minute (especially if the place is packed). Overall, this place has great food and will be definitely eat here again.

Capital Seafood is one of my favorite Dim Sum restaurants in LA. They offer all the traditional Dim Sum dishes, and everything is incredibly fresh, served from old-school push carts. The service is top-notch. Whether you’re a Dim Sum lover or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommended. Don't forget to try the delicious desserts.

From the outside this looks like a hole in the wall place in a strip mall but inside it's huge and magical! We had a party of 200 people in there and there was still areas for other pattons. Aside from most of the staff not speaking English to tell us what we were eating when it was brought out we figured it out and everything was uniquely different in its own way! I usually take food pics but I didn't this time! P.S beer was only 5 bucks a bottle!

Reason for visiting: parent's anniversary dinner (my parents like old school Chinese restaurants and food) Date/time of visit: Saturday night, ~7:00 PM Parking: shared in the adjacent lot with other businesses; at 7:00 PM, there's plenty of parking unless there's a wedding. Free parking, no valet Party size: 20; 2 tables with 8 non-adults Environment/ambience: was not busy when we came by. Probably do not need reservations for small dinner party, less than ~8. We had large party, along with requesting wedding menu (7 course dinner). Think old school Chinese restaurant; fish tank(s) and no TVs Service: was great actually; they came around often and were really helpful. Better than most other Chinese places. Food: was really good; we ordered the menu usually reserved for weddings since my parents love that type of Chinese food. We initially tried to replace the the roasted chicken with roasted pork but they didn't get that so we just had the chicken; we ordered the $508 menu (pic below). You can do BYOB too; no corking fee and they'll help you open and provide cups, no extra charge Cost: $1400, with tip Would I go back (yes/no): 75/25
