Was looking for a new place to eat, glad we decided on this restaurant. It was empty inside for a Sunday, thought it was closed. Everyone seems to order to go but I’d say the presentation of the dishes it’s a must to dine in.
Food is great, service is great, the price is great for the quality of food and quantity. New favorite spot, worthy of seconds.

The food was pretty good. They only had pork dumplings and my kids prefer chicken so they didn’t love the ones they tried. They had plain noodle soup and ate some chicken potstickers.
We were seated right away and the ambiance is nice. Tables are long rectangles so not as convenient for family style as round tables but I get that they save space. We passed food back and forth when serving ourselves so everyone could get what they needed (we had a party of 8).
I was fine with the chow fun and other noodles. The juicy pork dumplings were decent but I don’t know if I would get them again. They are like XLB and there wasn’t as much flavor as other places I’ve tried. I think the chicken potstickers were okay as well. The noodle wrapper was quite thick and they were pan fried but already soft when they came out as if they had sat there instead of being crispy.
Overall, service was fine and the food was fine. If we had to choose noodles, for dinner we may come back.

Try the spicy trio beef noodles with flat rice noodle. Legit savory bomb. Hainan chicken rice is good, but order dark meat. Smack yourself if you’re gonna go in and order chicken breast. Try the shu mai. It’s decently good. Got a heavier hint of sweetness and sesame oil. Southern Chinese taste.

I walked in to dine on a Saturday afternoon and the service was amazing from the beginning. Very welcoming and friendly.
I got three different dumplings plus hot tea and paid just under $40:
1. Spicy wantons – thin wrapper and nice filling, but the chili sauce was lacking in my opinion. It had a good spice but it was bitter and very dry, despite seeing the chili oil on the bottom. I think using a chili oil that has aromatics would work better and with some soy sauce for balance.
2. Juicy pork dumplings (their version of soup dumplings) – the order of 4 seemed really small compared to most dim sum places but the filling was sweet, seasoned, & very juicy. The soup part had already leaked out of two of mine unfortunately though. Also the wrapper thickness was not consistent; one was thin and three were very thick, too thick. The wrapper could be more thin.
3. Sui Mai – these Sui Mai were BIG! They were probably the best of the dumplings I tried. The filling was well seasoned, the shrimp was snappy, & a perfectly thin dumpling wrapper.
Overall great spot for a dumpling/noodles fix & great service but certainly not a replacement for dim sum.

I took my mother-in-law (who was born in Shanghai) to this restaurant for lunch and she absolutely loved it. Atmosphere is modern and fresh. Service was a bit slow on a Saturday but I think that was because they might have been understaffed. The food was great though. Prices were decent. Portion sizes were very generous. We had three plates of dim sum surprisingly really good, given this place is not technically a dim sum restaurant. We also had the Capitol Street noodle and Hong Kong style chow fun. Definitely coming back here to try some of their other dishes.

A Heartwarming Trio of Beef Noodle Soup
If you’re a fan of rich, flavorful, and comforting meals, this trio of beef noodle soup is an absolute must-try. Each bowl is a testament to the art of balancing bold flavors, tender textures, and aromatic spices, making it a truly unforgettable dining experience.
The classic version is a timeless delight. The broth is deeply savory, with a robust beefy flavor that’s been simmered to perfection. The tender slices of beef melt in your mouth, while the chewy noodles provide the perfect contrast in texture. A hint of star anise and ginger adds a subtle warmth, making every spoonful a comforting embrace. This bowl is a nostalgic nod to tradition, executed flawlessly.

As much as I hate on places like Panda Express. I wouldn’t mind if a consistent, cheaper place would open up in lieu of a place like capital noodle bar. I am pretty sure this place has no regulars, once you eat something here you don’t really want to get it again. The prices are also far too expensive for what tastes like mostly frozen food.
They been here for almost 10 years or so now, a new restaurant would be nice.

I have been here twice now and each time has been wonderful – the food, the staff and the atmosphere! In case you want to know without reading my whole review, the food is so delicious – there is nothing else to say about it!! But read to know all aspects on what to expect with service and billing.
First off, my family and I are VERY Covid aware. We only just began eating at restaurants again this year and only when all safety factors line up for us . Capital Noodle House does have indoor dining but at this time, I only choose to eat outdoors so I can not comment on the interior though it looks very clean and spacious through the window!
We eat on the patio which is small but tables are nicely spaced and clean. We asked the waitress if we could have the table cleaned again just because we like to see it cleaned with our own eyes and she had it cleaned again without question. Staff wears masks at all times.
Every person that waited on us was patient and nice and helpful and had an amazing attitude. Every time.
The food is amazing and comes out pretty fast. We went on Valentine’s evening with our family of 6 including a baby and we got seated and served fast.
Within 30 minutes they had a line of people waiting to get in so this accounts for both popularity and spacing!
The prices are not cheap but reasonable and what you would expect from a sit down eatery with high standards. For 5 meals, 2 beers, two sides and three non alcoholic drinks, our bill was $125
Not including tip. One thing cool about their billing is that it tells you what the tip is for various percentages and tells you the total- so it makes it easy for you to factor in!
If I had to say anything even slightly negative it would be about the drinks. The only thing that perturbed me on our second visit was that we were charged for 2 iced teas when it should have been refilled for free and I ordered hot tea for three. The tea comes in the same pot weather it’s for two or three but the charge is per person. When I needed a refill on tea – we just got more water added to the pot which just made hot water- not tea (but I think this is standard for tea refills anywhere). So, really this part is for management- personally, I feel tea should be charged per pot not per cup – or give individual pots. Basically, I paid $10.50 for 3 cups of tea and a refill of hot water. This may be nickel and dime-ing – but in today’s climate- every penny counts on all sides. So it is just a side note..nothing I would take points off for or not return for – I didn’t even complain about it on the bill. If it happened again- I would say something about the refills and ask about the tea pots up front before ordering. Either way this in no way detracted from my experience!! I completely recommend eating or taking food from Capital Noodle!
This place is wonderful!

i tried the hainan chicken, it was okay, for $20 i was expecting more portion wise. wifey got the dumpling with noodles, that was delicious and my kid got the bbq pork buns, it was mid. what annoyed me is it took a LONG time to get a refill of our waters. overall not a good experience for me.

This used to be one of our go to places to eat. The food is usually great. But the last few times we’ve gone the service has been lacking. Today we went in for lunch. My husband and I were only the 3rd group there. We were there for 40 minutes and they hadn’t even brought us water. After the 4th group arrived and they got drinks and appetizers and we had still yet to get water we got up and left.
The problem seemed to be the older woman working she seemed to start tasks and then walk away from them. There was a younger woman working that was trying her best but I know it can be hard to do your own job while trying to pull the weight of someone else.
*I would have rather addressed this as an email to the owner or manager but unfortunately was unable to locate one online.
