Capital Seafood Restaurant
20150326:
My friend lives in Irvine and wanted to eat somewhere in this area. Unfortunately, had I known he was interested in the type of food available in this area, I would have suggested we go to Westminster or Garden Grove instead.
In particular, for dim sum there's Seafood Paradise, Seafood Cove, or Yum Cha Cafe (cheap dim sum located inside My Thuan Market).
In any case, this was my second time coming here and overall the food was good, though possibly overpriced.
The first thing I ate was the pork belly and it was delicious. But my personal favorite is the shrimp noodle, that was also good.
Now I also like har gow, but when I was eating the har gow here today, there was a slight tinge of dissatisfaction.
The shrimp balls were tasty, but that's mainly due to the mayonnaise sitting in the center of them (which is disgusting).
Having enjoyed the pork belly, we ordered another one. I also got another plate of the shrimp noodle. According to the waitress, it was the last one they had.
Just about finished, I inquired about their egg tarts and unfortunately the waitress said there were none left. 3:23PM PT
Like getting cream puffs at L. P. Steamers, I always look forward to getting egg tarts after I eat dim sum. Of course, while Capital Seafood had run out, 85°C Bakery Cafe swooped in and saved the day.

By the end of lunch, we had a shrimp ball and two pieces of shumai left. Having had bad experiences with shumai in the past, I was unwilling to try them while at the restaurant, but was all for trying them in the comfort of my own home (the experience varies from restaurant to restaurant, typically depending on the type of oil used). In this situation, I ate the shumai without any trouble.
