Capital Restaurant: What to Order & How to Visit

The Chinatown Eats take

By Chinatown Eats · How we make our picks

Go with a clear priority: the wings. Patrick Wong’s review also gives beef chow fun a strong case as the second dish, while finding some of the wider menu less memorable. A focused order suits the place better than a greatest-hits banquet.

Make the wings the anchor

The local review is unusually helpful about priorities: Patrick Wong favors the wings and beef chow fun, while treating much of the broader menu as less distinctive. That gives a small group a sensible starting point. Ask about the current wing portion before adding another main, and choose rice or noodles according to what the table actually wants.

Arrange takeaway directly

We found a Beyond Menu page for 839 Clay Street, but it said it was not accepting online orders when checked. Its displayed prices should not be treated as a current quote. Call the restaurant for takeaway, opening information and the day’s menu. If you are dining alone, the published review notes counter seating, but availability still depends on the visit.

Make the final call

Check current menus, prices and opening times with the restaurant. Discuss specific ingredient or accessibility needs directly. Spending styles describe the kind of meal, not a fixed per-person price.
