You know that one place that always reminds you of childhood at its best? This would be that place.
My fondest childhood memories would be family dinners here or the occasional lunch with just my dad. The staff? They definitely help perpetuate the memories, always commenting on how much I've grown or where my brother is. They are the friendliest and always have been very efficient in service.
The food? My favorites, from childhood to now, have always been the Seafood Chow-fun with gravy, which overflows with various sea creatures in a sauce of deliciousness. I could take out a whole plate if it wasn't for the now-present reality of a slowed metabolism as well as my father competing for some of the yumminess too. Other goodies are the Salt and Pepper Squid, fried to perfection without the unnecessarily frills of sauces. Kung Pao Tofu, Sweet and Sour Vietnamese style fish (fried up then doused in sweet & sour sauce), and the Seafood Hot Pot. All equally delicious and all my favorites.
The best part? Lunch that could feed at least eight of us always ends up being no more than forty bucks or so. The lunch specials are where it's at, and for this, I am immensely grateful. There will always been a soft spot in my heart for Capitol Seafood, it's the place of my childhood.
