Customer Review Summary
Complaints are as numerous and more specific. Long-time customers suspect new ownership and report slipped quality: soggy, tasteless salt and pepper chips, salt and pepper chicken too salty to eat, one giant bean sprout-packed spring roll instead of the usual four, and a beef chow mein heavy on veg and light on noodles. Others describe thick batter swamping a salt and pepper combo, slimy chicken in a chow mein, and hard vegetables, cold chips and watery curry arriving very late. Some miss the free prawn crackers they used to get.

“I have ordered from capital for almost 4 years and not once had a complaint, always the same great tasting food, I ordered my usual tonight and I had to ring back up as the salt and pepper chips didn’t taste of anything, they usually come nice and crispy oh no not anymore soggier than a rich tea in water. Satay sauce tasted rubbish. Overall very disappointed with my meal and unfortunately I will no longer order from capital, such a shame”
