    Hub really love the truffle steam chicken but I wished I can taste more truffle tho. The scallops shrimp dumplings no longer offer the black skin so it was just okay. Siu mai was good, pork ribs was okay, cucumber appetizer was not well marinated but it's veg, chicken cartilage was ok, chicken feet was good. I really love the fact they have a combo of 4 different things in an order so that's per for a person who loves variety than quantity like us! Would love to try other dishes like preserve radishes, eggplant with shrimp, fried Chinese donut next time

    Made a second visit, tried new menu items, and I am now convinced that this restaurant has earned 5 stars. The Roast Duck is fantastic, as are the Sauteed String Beans. I did note some deficiencies on the 2nd visit, however: 1) We weren't provided the complimentary red bean soup that was rendered to us on our first visit. 2) During my first visit, I was given multiple choices for tea during ordering. During my second visit, I was brought an unspecified type of tea and not asked what type I wanted. Those quibbles aside, I find this restaurant to be quite promising, and I am still interested in returning here for a 3rd visit (and more).

    Enjoyed this fried dim sum set.

    The green beans with minced pork was delicious.This place seemed like all the local Asians come here.Every table was filled which is a great sign.

    The place is spacious, neat, and clean. They have good selection of dim sum. You can still order dim sum in late afternoon or for dinner. Great for those night time dim sum craving. The foods were mostly well prepared, good favor. A bit pricey compared to other dim sum places. Servers were friendly and attentive.

    ~ food: 6/10 ~ service: 2/10 ~ ambiance: 7/10 ~ parking: plaza parking available for the price, this restaurant should offer a much higher level of service and food quality, but it fell short on both. many of the dishes felt like they were trying too hard to be elevated by adding truffle or other premium toppings, yet none of them were truly impressive or memorable the service was especially disappointing for a place that brands itself as elevated dim sum. one dish we ordered was mislabeled, and when we asked if it could be remade, the server flatly said no without even attempting to check with the kitchen. we were told we had to eat it and still pay for it, which completely ruined the experience. for a restaurant associated with a well-known chef, this level of service is unacceptable. very disappointing, and we won't be returning

    Must try dimsum place. Speaks quiet luxury when you go in. Went in on a Saturday right before they were about to open; there were already people waiting and ss soon as it opened, resto was already half filled. It's a small restaurant but service is fast, place is clean, nice staff, food is bomb! Ordered all their specialty dish; food tastes elevated --- very much different from your usual dimsum place. Don't get me wrong, I love the usual places but I can definitely taste the difference. The area has some nice coffee/spots and bakeries as well. Overall experience was good, price is a bit higher than usual but worth it.

    It's' been a few years since I had Chef Tony's dim sum. I ordered delivery and I was surprised at how good the food was. I got the wok-fried radish cake in XO sauce (a little spicy and the bean sprouts gave this dish great flavor), shrimp and pork dumplings with black truffles (the truffles were not overpowering which I liked), and eggplant stuffed with shrimp paste (this was spicy and sweet). All the food was flavorful without being overly salty. I would defiantly be ordering more from them in the future!

    Met up with my middle/high school friend here for dim sum. She's been and suggested it. We got a table shortly after arrival around 11am on a Sunday. We got a round table for our party of 7. High chairs and booster chairs all prepared. Menu checked off and food was arriving. The dim sum here was better than the dim sum in NorCal where we are from. Each item tasted fresh and well made. The service was lacking as we asked for water and none came. To be expected from a traditional dim sum place. Located in small plaza- there was enough parking. Two bathrooms in the back - one men and one women- technically unisex.

    My boyfriend took me to Chef Tony Dim Sum for breakfast. They are located in the same plaza as one of our sushi spots, Sushi Kisen. The parking here is awful, limited parking with tight spots and aggressive drivers. When we came in there was no hostess at the front. I waived and made eye contact with multiple staff members who turned away and ignored me. Red flags. Should have walked out. Eventually we got seated at a tight 2-top that was definitely not meant for dim sum style dining cause it was a struggle to fit our food. I'll also note that this place does not have the dim sum carts. You order with the waitress and your food comes out whenever each dish is ready. It was so weird because all the sweet stuff came out early in the meal when a lot of the savory items were missing. Service was lacking the entire time. For instance we had to ask multiple times for the hot mustard and chili. They charge $2.20/person for Tea and Condiments so I want my condiments. For the tea we got Jasmine. Hot water was not refilled. Shrimp Dumpling ($7.38) - Har gow. Okay. Shrimp and Pork Dumpling with Black Truffle ($7.38) - Shu mai. I didn't really taste anything special with the black truffle. Radish Cake ($6.38) - Lacked crispiness on the edges. Rice Noodle Roll with Shrimp ($8.98) - Only one shrimp in each roll. There was one piece where the flour tasted border line spoiled. Blehhh... BBQ Pork Pastry ($6.38) - One of my favorites and it's a good thing I didn't order 2 because it was tiny and dry. Disappointing. Preserved Egg and Pork Congee ($10.98) - Blander than congee normally is. Pass. Deep Fried Sesame Ball ($6.38) - Sufficient. Egg Custard Tart w Milk ($6.38) - Mhmm I prefer the one with the vibrant yolk. Usually another favorite but I wasn't too excited for this. This meal was cramped and stressful with awful service. Pricing is on the expensive side. If this was cheap dim sum I wouldn't expect any service but for these price tags, they should staff up and treat their customers better.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Came here to celebrate birthday. 6 of us were the first customers. Parking was easy since we got here early. The place look upscale with all the decorations and cleanliness. We ordered multiple items to try. We asked for hot sauce and they gave us one set of sauce which included small cups of soy sauce, mustard and hot sauce. I was very disappointed because for this type of restaurant they should be showering us with that type of thing. Service is just ok, just like typical Chinese restaurants. The food tastes similar to other mid level dim sum restaurants. So why would I pay extra money for just to get similar taste and service as other places?

    Very nice and clean restaurant. Honestly, their dim sum is usually good, but someday it can be so so only. I guess it really depends on the main dim sum chef? Their wait times are usually ok during the weekdays. Their services are usually good and very attentive, their teas are excellent. We never feel they are rushing us out of the door even when they are busy. Parking can be hard on the weekends, I highly recommend carpool. Just hope that their dim sum can be more consistent. We will be back and we still recommend Chef Tony.

    Stellar service, delicious food, and comfy booth seats. I met three of my girl friends here for a weeknight dinner and we all had a wonderful time eating dim sum for dinner. The great thing about eating at Asian places is you can always do family style so everyone can have a bite or two of a variety of different dishes. We got all shareables to enjoy together: the Bunny-shaped Coconut Pudding 椰汁兔子糕, Stir-Fried Rice Noodle 炒牛河, Sticky Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf 荷香糯米雞, Deep Fried Chicken Wings with Salt and Pepper 椒鹽雞翅, Ginger, Chicken, Shrimp and Pork Bun 勁薑雞包 and more! Every dish was seasoned very well, and I remember my friend especially liked the Deep Fried Chicken Wings with Salt and Pepper 椒鹽雞翅 since she never had it made like this before. It's one of my favorite staple dishes at any Cantonese place so I almost forgot just how good it was the first time I had it. To say the least, I agreed! Best chicken wings ever. The other dim sum dihes like the buns and lotus leaf rice also tasted delicious and were served hot and steamy. My friends and I also especially adored the Bunny-shaped Coconut Pudding 椰汁兔子糕. You just can't go wrong by making a dessert shaped like a bunny. It was an instant sell for me. To my surprise, since I am not a fan of coconut-flavored things, this dessert has only a subtle coconut flavor and a great bouncy jiggle and soft texture. It was a melt-in-your-mouth kind of fun dessert. Definitely try it! We came on a weeknight, so it wasn't packed like I've seen in the past. My friends thoroughly enjoyed the comfy booth in the back and got to stay as long as we wanted. Our servers were very attentive and came to check on us a few times and refill our waters, which was very kind. I am already planning another trip back with family. I can't wait to come back and eat more delicious food. Thank you to the staff here for giving my friends and I a wonderful experience for the memories.

    We had a family meal here. There were eight people in our group; so, we were able to try a lot of individual dishes. I was a guest; I did not pay the bill, so I will not speculate on pricing. However, I will comment that all of the dishes were tasty and prepared well. The family member who selected this dim sum restaurant made a good choice; and I enjoyed my meal, here.

Compared to many traditional dim sum restaurants, this one offers a more intimate dining experience. Instead of servers pushing carts around the dining room, you simply mark your selections on a paper order sheet. Occasionally, someone will still come by with freshly steamed buns or specialty items to see if you'd like any. The restaurant was clean, the service was efficient, and our food arrived quickly. If you're planning to visit on a Saturday, I'd recommend arriving before noon to beat the lunch rush. Also I noticed they had a couple of private rooms on the way to the restroom. One thing that really stood out was the impressive variety of buns and dumplings. There were so many different options that I found myself taking more photos than mental notes! While I'm not enough of a dim sum expert to remember all the names, I've enjoyed dim sum throughout my life, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, Capital Seafood is a solid choice if you're looking for quality dim sum in a comfortable, relaxed setting.

    Decided to give this place a try after it was recommended to me by a friend…read more The interior was spacious and well-kept. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise and immediately sets a comfortable tone. The service was quite impressive... extremely attentive, friendly, and quick. 8/10 for the food. 10/10 for the price point 10/10 for the service. The food was definitely solid for the price point. There were a few misses, but the dishes that landed were executed really well. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! Siu Mai 10/10 - Juicy, plump and perfectly executed. Definitely my favorite dish. Bean Curd Skin Roll in Abalone Sauce 9/10 - Flavorful with an excellent texture. The whole dish was well executed. Beef Chow Fun 8/10 - Solid and flavorful. The beef was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Yangzhou Fried Rice 8/10 - The rice was moist and the seasoning was spot on. Shrimp Egg 8/10 - Soft and well seasoned. Generously portioned with very plump shrimp. Pork Chop Spicy Salt 8/10 - Crispy and slightly salted. It has a really great texture to it. Salted Fish and Chicken with Eggplant 8/10 - Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Generous portions of chicken, salty fish and eggplant. Chicken Feet 7/10 - It was solid. Not the best, but definitely not bad. House Special Crispy Shrimp Rolls 5/10 - The flavor of the shrimp was okay, but the rolls were really greasy. There were three very small rolls, definitely not my cup of tea. Chili Wonton 3/10 - By far my least favorite dish. The wonton skin tasted very flour-y, and hardly had any filling. The filling was also very bland and the chili oil was very underwhelming. By the way, the tea is free (I know, free tea at a dim sum spot).

    Bistro 1968 - One of the best value dim sum spots I've been to lately in the SGV. So here, they…read morehave many dim sum dishes around $4.88, which is such a steal for the portion and quality. For dishes like the beef chow fun and steamed fish for about $14.88, making it super affordable for a large group meal. The food came out fresh and hot, and the menu had a lot of variety to choose from. The restaurant gets busy, on weekends but service moved pretty efficiently overall. A perk for this place is that they do have a parking garage, which made parking way less stressful compared to other busy dim sum spots in the area.

    Excuse me... who gave this place permission to close?? HOW is it closed!?!?! We were literally just…read morehere a couple of weeks ago, living our best noodle life, and now it's gone like a ghosted situationship!! I'm now brokenhearted!!! :( We came back ready to reunite with that soy sauce chow mein.... simple, no nonsense, just noodles, bean sprouts, and onions doing exactly what they're supposed to do: minding their business and tasting amazing!! No extra veggies crashing the party and watering things down. As it should be!! And the siu mai? Solid, dependable, and absolutely did not disappoint!!! The kind of duo you start planning your next meal around... until the restaurant disappears on you. Now I'm just here, craving noodles and questioning how a place that serves delicious food would close down!!!!

    I've been coming here regularly for both breakfast and lunch ever since they took over the old Red…read moreChina space, and it has quickly become one of my go-to spots. The food is consistently good, honestly better than a lot of nearby places that charge quite a bit more. What won me over right away, though, was the breakfast combo. Two dim sum items and a hot drink for just $14 is a genuinely good deal. A cold drink is only $1 more (typical HK practice), and you can also take your drink to go for another $1, which is a nice little convenience. I'm pretty particular about milk tea, so I don't say this lightly: their half coffee, half milk tea really hits the spot every time. It's balanced, and satisfying. Beyond the combo, they also serve all the comfort staples, porridge, fried chow mein, Chinese donuts, and my personal favorite, rice noodles with a variety of fillings. It delivers the same comforting flavors you want from a casual dim sum-style breakfast, but without the inflated prices, long waits, and hectic atmosphere that have become so common at more traditional dim sum spots. This place is a solid, dependable replacement for the usual dim sum experience. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. The driveway can be a little tricky. It sits right next to the Taco Bell drive-through exit, separated only by a fire hydrant, so it's easy to miss or get confused when pulling in. But it's a small tradeoff for a spot that delivers this much value and consistency.
