Capital Noodle Bar — Restaurant in London

Edit: Sadly after 14 years of custom I will not be returning. The food became inedible and disgusting slop. The new owners took something good and successful, and ruined it entirely. Goodluck

The food is good but isn't as good as it used to be, the egg fried rice is sometimes oversaturated with soy sauce when ordering takeaway, or a separate portion to a meal. They've changed the sweet and sour sauce they use on the Hong kong chicken dish, which is a shame, as I preferred the previous, and the chips aren't cooked as well. I've not had noodles since the new change of owner so I cannot comment on the noodles. I feel some cuts have been made to the quality of products used. Or perhaps a different chef, I'm not sure.

One waitress/server is very lovely, very friendly, and I enjoy going when I see her, she's a great asset to the restaurant and I hope they appreciate her.

Another waitress/server can appear to have a bit of an odd attitude, and hasn't been most accepting of my disabled daughter. Which has put me off from going as often as I used to. When discussed with other friends who have gone, they know who I am talking about when I've said I've felt put off. So I assume this is just generally her personality.

Overall the food is still better than most local Chinese restaurants, and I'd still recommend going here (mostly). I hope that no more changes are made. As it has been a restaurant I have gone to for around...

4th time order and really disappointed this time. Ordered roasted pork and duck fried noodles but got fried rice delivered instead. 10 Spring rolls but only got 9. Called them up and the lady straight away knew what item was incorrectly delivered. I felt like she knew it wasn’t in my order but shipped it anyway thinking I wouldn’t mind. She said unfortunately there is no driver at the moment to send a replacement which was completely rubbish! They asked how many times I had ordered from them. After saying it was 3-4 times already, she suggested to add that item in my next order! How’s embarrassing!

The food quality is so poor too. The chicken noodle soup is horrible. Couldn’t eat it. The Chinese leaf in both soup and the fried rice (wrong item delivered) got black spots all over it. The rice itself was really hard and dry. I felt it was really old rice and vegetable.

Not happy at all and they have lost one of their regular customers! So disappointed. hopefully no one will be treated the same as...

I met my daughter here for lunch as she'd been a number of times, and although I work in the area, it never occurred to me to go there. The restaurant is on the corner of the main road and there is ample parking in the side road. I had no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised, as inside, the room is large, with ample natural light from the dual aspect windows, and simple but tasteful decor. The restaurant is clean and well laid out. The staff were friendly and the menu extensive. It was difficult to know what to choose, but I always end up going for Ho Fun (wide rice noodles). To me, if Chinese restaurants offer this, it is a sign that the food will be more authentic. We were able to have a lovely long catch-up, in peace and quiet, whilst enjoying the delicious food. It is great value, and I envy the people who live on the adjoining estate, as I think I'd be eating there most nights if I lived there! Not in the most salubrious part of town, but well...
