Capitol — Restaurant in Wirral

Recommended this place a while back and checked the reviews as we have just recently moved to the area. We started with sweetcorn soup which was really tasty, so we had high hopes but how wrong was we!

We ordered Singapore vermicelli and a prawn blackbean with egg fried rice. The prawns were clearly not fresh and was frozen as they was huge and bitty, my partner ate one but avoided the rest as we didn’t want to become sick 🤢 the vermicelli was tasteless had sad looking pieces of veg and egg that looked about 10 days old not a hint of any spice? The egg fried rices was yellow and tasteless with no egg. They looked like uncle bens packet rice, when asked how the food was I expressed we was not happy with the food but had already dished most of it onto our plates to share it apart from one of the rices, the waitress said ‘we will take the fried rice off the bill’ and walked away? We have left still really starving and £60 down for basically abit of sweetcorn soup and a few spoons of vile rice and black bean sauce? This was an absolute tragic Friday night meal - Waitresses was nice when we first came in & ordered our drinks and food, but when we gave feedback they couldn’t get away quick enough. Judging by the reviews this used to be a really good place, but defiantly do avoid at all cost this was awful and quite literally left a bad taste in our mouths. We have come home and are still hungry and have a horrid peppery taste left over off one of the dishes. Only positive I can come away with is the taste of the pinot Grigio rose. I am shocked and we defiantly won’t be returning at all. Nothing was rectified or even tried to replace, just a rice that was not touched was taken off the bill. Save your money & go to a take away instead because this...

This place is amazing. The decor inside is precise and gorgeous. The staff we met were polite and so attentive. The food and drinks were served quickly and what I had, chicken satay skewers, was the very very very nice! There's also something for everyone as the menu is is about 6 pages! They do chicken nuggets and chips for those not fussed on trying the Chinese food. The food was reasonably priced. Not extortionate and not too cheap, a fair price that I could agree with. The music was calm and not played too loud like some places do and the table was laid out beautifully. Honestly I don't think I really have a bad thing to say about it. I am disappointed by the comments about staff not understanding English that I've seen in other reviews. Personally I thought their English was very good provided we spoke clearly (not mumbled) and in all honesty to have a go at that would be ridiculous when going to a Chinese restaurant! Hearing the staff speak mandarin arround us added to authenticity of the place and we didnt have any communication issues at all and if we had it wouldnt have been a problem! Honestly though the food is nice and the decor is beautiful, genuinely beautiful. Definitely worth trying if you haven't been before and ill be coming back and recommending it to...

Unfortunately extremely disappointing, I remember this restaurant from way back, and unfortunately tonight's visit has shattered those memories. Whoever owns this place now should be ashamed that they have tarnished this long lasting reputation. Decaying decor, filthy toilets, damp smelling extremely uninviting. Extremely dry ribs with a luke warm gravy over them, not even close to bbq sauce. Then the same gravy poured on the special fried rice main, extremely bland. And the same price as the quality Chinese/pan Asian restaurants. If your looking for a quality Asian restaurant for the same price, I would highly recommend Matau restaurant on the Albert Dock. Really...
