    Cantonese style cooking that seems very popular amongst locals. My favorite was the salt and pepper spareribs. Right among of salt and crispiness. The prawns were good but the walnuts were not well presented. Overall this is one of those hole in the wall spot. Would come to try what other locals recommend

    Fried Chicken Wings with Salt and Hot Pepper

    What a fun way to start the day off with a day trip to SF! Capital is tried and true. Even with the change in ownership quite a few years ago, this place is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. This is a no-frills, traditional Chinese restaurant with average service. 10 of us stopped here for lunch and my kids convinced me to order four orders of the salt and pepper chicken wings. Fast forward to the end of our meal, we got another order! We also got salt and pepper shrimp, dry fried beef chow fun, tomato beef HK style chow mein, Chinese broccoli chicken HK style chow mein, pork/preserved vegetable and fried tofu, and blackbean spareribs string beans rice. Everything was delicious and the tab came out to be around $226 with tax and tip. For 10 people and enough food for leftovers, this is a great deal. Kids weren't wrong, the wings served piping hot and crispy there is definitely 1000 times better than taking it to go.

    Made a quick stop by Capital and ordered two orders of the salt and pepper chicken wings. It took me around an hour to get home, so I reheated the wings in the air fryer. They were still lightly crispy and had the perfect puffed up texture, with a lightly briny and spicy flavor from the jalapeños. Absolutely devoured them

    BEST SALT & PEPPER WINGS IN THE CITY... My partner and I have always gone here since we were children and remembering all the photos on the walls. My go-to order is always going to be the Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken ($13.75), Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice ($13.75), Mustard Greens with Garlic ($9.95) or Pea Shoots ($13.95). It's the perfect amount of food for two people. If you're feeling greedy, order some wings to-go but tell the waiter before paying the check. Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken ($13.75) - The chicken wings are super delicious, crispy and tender on the inside. They're always piping hot when they arrive at the table. If you're sensitive to salted foods..maybe avoid? but it's literally in the name.. Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice ($13.75) - It's hard to come by since salted fish alone can be expensive. A great sizeable portion with bits and pieces of salted fish and chicken. It's great to pair with the crispy chicken skin

    Capital is a true San Francisco staple and I have been coming here since high school. It is an authentic Chinese restaurant that never misses the mark. We visited on a Friday night for dinner and it was pretty busy. However, we were seated right away and the service was still very quick and friendly. They are famous for their salt and hot pepper chicken wings, which are an absolute must. The wings were so crispy and good that we ended up ordering a second plate for the table. Since everything is served family style, it is a great place to bring a group. Even with the Friday night rush, the staff kept things moving efficiently. It remains one of my favorite spots in Chinatown for a reliable and delicious meal.

    106. Beef Chow Fun
    Crystal X.

    Came here with friends for lunch and thought it was just ok. They're known for their fried chicken wings, lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, and jalapenos. They were very crispy but too dry and bland for me. The beef chow fun was the best thing we ordered. It had a nice wok hei flavor, wasn't too oily, and the beef was tender.

    Ive gone many times and like a lot of their dishes This is definitely a group meal restaurant since i dont prefer their lunch special concept. I always get a bowl of rice here and eat primarily meat and vegetable dishes. Ive ordered: Best: Salt and pepper chicken wings Fukien style egg tofu Beef with mixed vegetables Honey Walnut shrimp Mongolian beef Alright: Beef chow fun Chinese Broccoli Bad: Egg soup Chow mein Their combo dishes Salt and pepper chicken wings are the best when eaten with rice because of how salty the wings are. The salt and pepper work so well with a crispy skin, making this dish addicting. (you know its popular when you walk in and see to go boxes of only chicken wings) Fukien style egg tofu is my favorite dish on the menu with a seafood sauce and soft egg tofu. One of the ingredients is mushroom which I understand people would avoid due to the strength of the specific mushroom they use but I love it. It tastes best again with a bowl of rice. Beef with mixed vegetables is the most balanced dish and simple with a tender beef and good portion of greens. Honey walnut shrimp is great and simple with nothing special compared to other places that make this dish Mongolian beef is tender and saucy and is a good addition to a meal. There are however still more mongolian beef dishes out there that beat capitals. Beef chow fun was saucy and oily and had tender beef in it. Chinese Broccoli was simple and seasoned with salt Egg soup didn't have much flavor nor egg Chow mein has a mix of meat within the noodles but the noodles aren't good compared to other chow mein restaurants Reasoning for the combo dishes is that I feel the portions they provide with carbs and protein isn't enough compared to buying a single meat dish and a bowl of rice. Its much more worth in price and flavor to do the latter.

    Capital Fried Chicken!

    My buddies and I came here last Sunday after an intense BP tournament nearby, and they've never had a chance to come to this place and I was pretty shocked. I've had there food here for a while, but also have not been bad recently, so we decided to come here around 7 pm that Sunday. The Ambiance was as expected of this place, EXTREMELY busy as there is a lot of hype on the fried chicken, and don't get me wrong, Its still one of the best in the city. The service itself was a bit slow that night, but I can't really blame them, it looked like they had a large family gathering with a preset meal already happening so I'd imagine they had to get those out, our food took a bit longer then we'd had hoped, about 20-30 minutes, but when they came out, I'd say it was well worth it, The Fishmaw soup came out first and we devoured it pretty quick, honestly really good; I added a bit of hot sauce to give it a bit of heat, but the soup didn't need it. The Capital fried chicken came out about 15 minutes, and wooooo were they hot, flavor was there, crunch was there, and the 3 of us couldn't resist eating it up. The Mongolian beef came right after and we asked for a few bowls of rice to complement it, which came out quickly. I must say, this is up there as one of the best Mongolian beefs I've had in the SF, not too oily, great flavor, great portion, great taste and meat extremely tender. If Capitals were closer I may go between here and my favorite place, but its a bit out of my current location. We had Singaporean noodles, which I forgot to take a photo of, and thought it was okay, not my favorite item to get but my friend wanted it. He did enjoy it! Overall, a must for their fried Chicken and I would say to try some other items out as well (especially the Mongolian beef if you like it!)

    chicken wings
    Debbie W.

    This place is known for their chicken wings - salt and pepper style, crispy skin, not very spicy which is perfect for me and no sauce needed. It's very flavorful. Of course we ordered it - 11 wings for $14,75 Depending on what time you go, it gets very busy - especially on the weekend. We were there a little after 5pm and had to wait and ended up sitting at the counter which is fine for the 2 of us. The phone was constantly ringing for take out orders too. If it's very busy, sometimes people share a table if needed just so they can seat as many people as possible. Since we sat at the counter, we can see the take-out orders pile up waiting to get picked up and not surprisingly, many orders were chicken wings. We also ordered Hung Tao Yee Foo Won Ton which is fried won top in sea food soup. That hit the spot. Not all chinese restaurants offer this on their menu. This costs $15.75 (about 10 won tons) One surprising thing is there are NO PRICES on the menu so you have no clue how much each item is. This is the only restaurant I know of that has no prices posted. I guess it doesn't bother people and everyone just order whatever they want and pay the bill when they get it. Most items will be in the $13 - 19 range. Service was good considering how busy they get. They definitely have a following as I heard one wait staff tell some customers as they were leaving - "See you next week."

    Diner style vibes Chinese restaurant. I came here mainly for their chicken wings and also ordered the vegetable seafood and shrimp fried rice. The fried chicken was very crispy and a good size. The vegetable seafood was soft and had a lot of umami flavor. The shrimp fried rice was disappointing because it looked flavor. I'm assuming they didn't add any sauce to the fried rice so the customers can control the seasoning and flavor profile. Service was fast paced

    The food is wonderful and reminds me of the old fashioned way Chinese food was served. Great portions. No fast food vibes. The servers are very polite and accommodating. Use the pictures in the menu for quick and easy ordering . The place ia older but It brings good memories of old Chinatown. I truly recommend checking them out for a satisfying meal. A lot of the clients are locals so you know the food is good.

    This spot has become my current hyperfixation. My favorite wings in the city, always perfectly seasoned and crispy and well priced. Outside of the wings I'm a big fan of the beef chow fun and was surprised by how good the egg flower soup was. The salt & pepper spare ribs were very similar to the wings, but I liked the hefty portion and that it was mostly meat versus bone. We've also tried the green beans and broccoli chicken, you can't go wrong here. Well priced, quick, and good amount of seating!

    Is a restaurant close for the whole week?

    They have been closed for almost a month now. They are on vacation. Should open towards end of the month or first thing Nov. I forgot what the exact date was when I walked by.

    Do they take credit cards?

    Yes! Not all types but they do accept some.

    Are the chicken wings good?

    Capital Restaurant's salt & pepper chicken wings are wonderfully spiced, perfectly fried, and the oil is left in the pan in the kitchen where it should be.

I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

    WHAT A GEM in SF Chinatown!…read more Hubby secured hard to get reservations and the very next day, I see a friend post her visit on IG Stories. I asked her, "What's good?" Her response... "Everything!" That's all one needs to say. At the entrance, clearly marked are signs reading, "Reservations" and "Walk-ins". Since we had reservations, we waited only a few minutes to get seated at the bar. The bar makes it easy to converse with your partner and to peer over as the fire from the range springs up from the kitchen. Our server brought us some "Free Bites" of roasted peanuts and smashed cucumbers. She was such a pleasant lady with quite the wit that made me laugh between courses. We ordered a full bottle of Negori sake. Note: if you do not finish the sake bottle, they cannot pack it to go for you, so drink up! Obviously, we couldn't order everything on the menu. For our first visit, we definitely wanted their special dish, Fried Squab. It was delicious! The meat was moist and the dipping salt with Sichuan peppercorn paired perfectly! Just don't focus too much on the visual... the head and claws. Hot Mustard Jellyfish Salad ~ I loved the "crunch" of the jellyfish and the hot mustard marinade was just spicy enough to start a slow burn up the nose. Beef Chow Fun Noodles ~ Delicious and so very savory. I was amazed at how flavorful this dish was without being salty. Clay Pot Rice w/Chinese Sausage & Bacon ~ Loved how the entire pot was seasoned nicely. The sauce did not only sit at the top, but penetrated deep down into the rice. XO Escargot w/Milkbread ~ I've only had French Escargot and these are just as good, if not better! Fish Fragrant Eggplant ~ Another savory and very umami dish. Red Bean Shaved Ice ~ Always a refreshing dessert. Dig in for the surprise in the center. We had such a nice, cozy dinner here. Even while at the bar, we never felt for lack of space. They paced the dishes out perfectly, so there was always room to eat and enjoy. Looking forward to returning and trying more items on the menu.

I mean it wouldn't be scallion pancakes without the ample amount of scallions, right?! Lots of customers were having breakfast and I noticed many people ordered congee, so it must be one of their best sellers. Our bellies were satisfied and we were out of there in under 30 minutes. Bill came out to be about $23 after taxes and before tip. This place is great for a group of friends or families to sit down and have a meal while visiting Chinatown. The front of the restaurant has a kiosk to place orders as well (not sure if it's only for take-out orders). It's definitely a restaurant I would go back to when we are in the area again.

    entrance is confusing. there's only one main entrance and that's at STREET LEVEL. they will direct…read moreyou to go upstairs after, but you have to check in here first. the bar also has a separate entrance (2nd floor), maybe lesser known, but that's only for the bar side, not regular restaurant. they also have a takeout side, just during lunch hours 11:30a - 1:30p 4 days a week. Great food and I love that their happy hour is 4-7pm goes pretty late, only available at the bar. I checked in and said im walking in here for happy hour. the host said ok happy hour and asked me do I want to sit inside at a table or at the bar? I'm thinking "o, I thought for happy hour I must be seated only at the bar, ok lets get a table instead then, maybe more comfortable." Got settled down and seated in the main dining room which was super loud. another server comes and I ask about happy hour menu and he said no that's at the bar only. so why were we ushered to this table? so I got out of that room and went to find myself a seat at the bar instead. bar is much quieter which is nice and more relaxing. for happy hour the ha gow and siu mai is about $1-2 off. coffee lava bun is good, gooey coffee filling inside and perfectly baked bun outside! 18% gratuity auto added onto all bills big beautiful space, especially outdoors with the ferry building view the cod is incredible. about $56 for half size and $100 for large size.

    Good dim sum in a nice location! So many great dishes. Where do I start? With the best!…read more Baked BBQ Buns with a sugar crust: The pork was slightly sweet, which is a good thing. Soft, soft bun. The crust makes it transcendent. Steamed Pork Spareribs with Black Bean Sauce: The sauce is very light, with a few black beans and peppers making an appearance. Steamed shrimp and chive dumplings: The shrimp pieces were large and the chive made it even better, Steamed har gow dumplings: Big and juicy pieces of shrimp inside of the dumplings went well with my requested chili sauce. Dessert: I liked that these egg tarts were on the smaller size since we were stuffed by this time and they were a perfect end to a great meal. Service was quick. They'll bring your water and tea almost immediately and take your order a minute later if you're ready. By 20 minutes later, all the dishes had been delivered. If you drive, get parking validation. Also a convenient walk from the BART/Muni station and cable car stop.
