If your company is searching for an exceptional Asian-themed team lunch option in the Orange County area, Capital Dim Sum Seafood Restaurant at the Irvine Spectrum is a standout choice, both for flavor and value. Our team recently catered a Thanksgiving-week lunch from this restaurant, and the experience exceeded expectations in every way. Even after pickup and delivery to our company’s main conference room, the food arrived fresh, fragrant, and beautifully prepared. Team members enjoyed a wide range of entrées, including Pineapple Seafood Fried Rice, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Hong Kong, Style Seafood Chow Mein, Beef Dry Chow Fun, and Thai Style Chicken, each dish offering generous portions, vibrant flavors, and consistent quality. What truly elevated the meal was the shared dim sum selection, a perfect fit for team-building settings. Favorites like Fried Shrimp Wontons, Pork & Shrimp Shiu Mai, Har Gow, Pork Buns, Fried Shrimp & Chives, and the indulgent baked and BBQ pork buns delivered the authentic, shareable experience dim sum is known for. With a budget of $20 for individual entrées and the remainder allocated to shared dishes, Capital Seafood proved to be an excellent value without compromising taste or presentation. For businesses looking to host onsite lunches that are flavorful, affordable, and sure to spark conversation, Capital Seafood is highly recommended. Their diverse menu, robust portions, and convenient proximity make them an ideal partner for corporate events and team gatherings across Orange County.

I would advise considering other options, as my experience involved a 30-minute wait to be seated, with no apparent system for signing in or joining a waitlist. If you have a reservation, it appears you need to approach the cashier directly, as there isn’t a dedicated host to assist. It seems one must actively seek attention from the staff to receive guidance.

After being seated, we experienced another 30-minute wait before our order was taken, even after attempting to flag down three different staff members. Despite clearly marking my selections and quantities, there were inaccuracies in the order, including an item I did not request. I recommend thoroughly reviewing your order. I would also suggest avoiding the Beef Meat Balls, as I found them to be unsatisfactory. The Sugarcane Shrimp Balls were excessively salty, to the point of being unpalatable. The Taro Seafood dish contained no seafood and was merely a bland taro paste.

Regarding the egg rolls, we were informed they were being prepared fresh for approximately an hour, which seemed unusually long. When we eventually requested to cancel this item, it was processed very quickly.

This was my first and will be my last visit. Cannot trust reviews on Social Media.

High End Chinese Dimsum and seafood bar restaurant located within the Irvine Spectrum Shopping Center. We walked in for a late lunch and got seated right away. We ordered our favorite dimsum : shrimp & pork shumai, spicy beef tendon, chicken feet, Chinese broccoli, all tasted real Chinese style the only problem is the spicy beef tendon did not have much tendon and only slices were of beef. They also have a membership program where in you get 5% off from your complete order you just need to become a member and they scan your barcode to get the cash back. Unfortunately based on the receipt I got there was no 5% cash received from the total of my order. Maybe when we come back I will ask the manager about it. All in all everything was perfect.

*** VERY EERIE, UNCOMFORTABLE AND DISASTEROUS ***

We had a reservation for a large party at 5:30, we were promptly seated.

When we looked around the place was empty, a bit eerie given it was prime dinner time, the chairs were quite small and felt like banquet chairs, very uncomfortable.

The website clearly states ‘Happy Hour served Monday-Friday, 3:30-6:00pm excluding holidays’

Two gentleman came to our table – dressed in causal clothes, no name tag and proceed to take our their phone to take our order. I proceeded to ask what cocktails were part of happy hour, “no I don’t think so, no happy hour.” I placed an order for Sangria, after 15 minutes the drink arrived, half empty glass, with orange peels and 1 cherry. VERY strange.

After the drinks arrived the gentlemen who took our order were no where to be found. 15 minutes later we walked up to the cashier and asked for the check as we had been waiting a total of 30 minutes and food was not ordered.

This establishment decided to add a gratuity for large party, the nerve, we only ordered drinks and had to walk out and they still charged gratuity? Total advantageous on their part.

Please do yourself a favor and stay away. SIMPLY DISASTEROUS EXPERIENCE

Good place for dim sum. Bright and spacious interior. It’s a good place for small or large groups. Went in for a big family lunch and they easily accommodated our party of 11. Big menu with all the dim sum classics.

Service was good. Efficient staff. Good location right across from the parking structure.

Came here for dim sum with the crew and had a good experience overall. Everything we ordered was solid… har gow, siu mai, buns, dumplings… all fresh, hot, and reliable. Nothing really blew my mind or had a “wow, I need to come back just for that” moment, but nothing disappointed either. Pretty much the definition of consistent dim sum comfort food.

Went for dim sum. Food was decent but not extraordinary as I was expecting.

Prices are extremely high for what you get and the quality. Definitely overpriced and usually we are okay if its presented nicely but not the case.

Dim sum heated in metal tins instead of bamboo steamers.

Service was exceptionally slow. We got seated after some people and got food faster than others. Practically finished our meal and then the other tables there before us got their food.

Another table next to us couldn’t even get their order in. Wasn’t too crowded when we were seated but theh have very few waiters and servers. They had a line of people waiting for tables.

Overall, overhyped and not worth the wait.

We were here just now and had an extremely bad experience. We waited almost 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. No greeting, no service at all. I had to raise my hand three times and ask for service repeatedly before anyone finally came over.

When someone did approach us, the attitude was rude and unprofessional. We came with friends visiting from Texas and simply wanted to have lunch. We were already ready to order — everyone had chosen their dishes.

Instead of taking our order, we were handed a piece of paper and told to mark what we wanted, which felt unnecessary and dismissive, especially since we were ready to order normally.

Overall, the service was terrible and uncomfortable. Completely do not recommend this place to anyone. We won’t be coming back.

The service at Capital Seafood Restaurant is extremely bad. We waited over an hour without being offered water, and no one seemed to care about the customers at all. Staff were unresponsive and inattentive the entire time.
On top of the poor service, the food was a disappointment, way too salty, to the point that it felt like a waste.
Overall, this was a very frustrating experience. Poor management, poor service, and poor food. I would not recommend this place.

Very disappointed, only two servers. When I walk in the owner was arguing with a customer because her family has been seated for almost 2 hrs and nothing on. 2 stars for food, over priced, not deserve it. My family ordered only 3 dishes and still waited for one hour. Only 5 tables customer and it’s really empty, no idea why it takes so long. Negative stars for service. No service at all, no tip recommended. By the way, when I leave, the chief was also arguing w/ the owner for inaccurate info lol and 4 tables request refund. Interesting experience.
