Capital Seafood Chinese Restaurant (Dim Sum) - Monterey Park

I usually go to Capital Dim Sum & BBQ - Monterey Park, the take-out shop version of the restaurant for quick dim sum fixes. But for the new year, lil' sis and her friend and I figured we would dine in the restaurant. I guess everyone else had the same idea, because even though the restaurant is huge, we still had to wait for a table.



But once inside, the dim sum plates come fast and furious. 

All that dining space means that Capital Seafood still features pushcart-style dim sum. Most of the basic small dishes are only $2.08, slightly more on weekends.



We started off with some shrimp rice noodles.



And siu mai (Chinese meatball dumplings).



Hak gow (Chinese shrimp dumplings). Two orders please.



Pork spare ribs in black bean sauce.



Chicken feet.



Mushrooms wrapped in bean curd.



Lo bak guo (Chinese turnip cakes), in the bottom left).



And we finished off with chrysanthemum tea jelly for dessert.



The total for the three of us was $30, including tip. Can't beat old school dim sum bargains.

Happy New Year everyone!
