| - Arrived in Sin City this afternoon and met up with our friends who just flew in from Honolulu. Since we were all tired and hungry, we went up to Capital Seafood in Chinatown.
We have been to this restaurant a few times in the past and their food was always pretty good, and we always enjoyed it. However, tonight's dinner was totally disappointing. We ordered four dishes: Beef chow-fun, Pea sprout stir fried with garlic,Gai-lan broccoli with shrimp and Frog legs with ginger and green onion. The Beef chow-fun arrived first. The taste we expected from this noodle dish was a little odd. It tasted sweet instead of the well balance of soy and oyster sauce seasoning. Then followed by the shrimp and Gai-lan, which tasted bland without seasoning, the Pea sprout was the best of all dishes but still fell short below standard average. Most disappointing was the frog legs, one could tell the protein was previously frozen and didn't thaw out properly and cooked in a rush, the meat tasted rather dry and chewy without any flavor, a disaster for people who would expect the moist, sweet freshness of frog legs.
Since we were all hungry, we did wipe out most of the dishes except the frog legs. Besides the poor food quality, service through the meal was minimal, no check back after food was delivered and no tea refill either.
We could see servers chatting on the side and no show of appreciation for business while we were exiting the establishment. Bad food, poor service - I don't think we will return to this restaurant in our future trips again!
