“ Dim sum and fried rice is 10/10. I love taking my family here for dinner, I share the hargow with my 2.5 y/o son, my husband gets the dim sum and we all share a shrimp fried rice. Everything is delicious, good service and local. We've ridden out bikes to this location for early dinner so we can work it off on our way back home lol recommend! ”
“ Overall a good experience. The noodles were really good and the lo mein was flavorful. String beans are a must order! Dim sum options were okay. The service was a bit slow, drinks left empty before asking for refills. Everyone was really nice though :) Really clean and spacious inside. Didn't have to wait for a table when we arrived for dinner. ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across a good Chinese restaurant near one of my OC offices. Capital Noodle Bar is a descendant of Kim Tar Restaurant, and it definitely reminded me of Chinese food I had growing up in Southern California. I really like their Hong Kong style chow mein with beef. Their noodles are really crispy and the flavour of the dish was spot on. I also had their yeung chow fried rice, which was also really good. For drinks, I had their milk tea, which unfortunately does not have boba. The prices are also reasonable. The interior of the restaurant pays homage to the Kim Tar restaurant in Chinatown. The staff here is also really nice. I am surprised the locations are focused on Orange County. I really like Capital Noodle Bar for Chinese food compared to Chinese restaurants in Rowland Heights. ”
“ Without any other Asian noodle spots nearby, this bar serves pretty good dishes and a slightly higher price. Nothing was greasy and the taste is more contemporary -rather traditional. Additionally, the place is a nice sit down to hangout indoors and outside. The service was fast and on point as to when to follow up. Because I have visited other noodle restaurants, I cannot say this place is worth visiting again, unless I have family and/ or friends craving noodles in town. ”
“ We order one bento, one pad kee mao, one wings to share among three. These three dishes are all decent. Wings are very flavorful and juice. It tastes the best when it came out from the kitchen. The store was not busy on a Saturday evening. They have some free refill tea options. The server refills the tea quickly. It is one of the little cushion store in Brea if you are craving Asian food. ”
“ Came here to try their crispy fried noodle and it did not disappoint! I've been looking for a place in brea with crispy fried noodles and was a little sus about theirs at first but it wasn't bad! Ambiance is decent, I would say they should clean out their restaurant a little better. Service was great. 4/5 stars ”
“ This is a decent noodle place in Brea. We ordered the Char Siu egg noodles, siu mai, and shrimp egg roll. Tip: if you order any dim sum it takes 25 mins for it to come out. Your entree will come out before your dim sum. The service is okay. They at least refill your water without having to ask them to. The restaurant is please clean with ample seating. Overall, this is a decent noodle place if you craving Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese noodles & rice dishes this is your spot. ”
“ Such a good place if you're craving noodles!! I ordered their black pepper beef udon and it was chefs kiss!!! The beef was so tender and the whole dish in itself was SOOOO flavorful. It was such a big portion, it could be shared between two people. Also, don't forget the free milk buns with check in. Unfortunately they ran out when we were there so they gave us chinese donuts instead. Will definitely be back again!! ”
