Capitol in Wirral

We went as a group of three, nan and two boys. They loved the food, best prawn crackers we've ever had. The staff were friendly and made it a special experience for us all.

Nice food but tiny portions, ordered 1/4 duck and crispy noodles, more like 1/8 duck and soggy, luke warm noodles 😢

This is the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to, the food is outstanding and the staff are first class. I take my family every month, we love the Shredded Chicken in Chilli Sauce, Mongolian Chicken, Chowmein, and Crispy Duck. Christine, Roy, Jenny, and Kim always go the extra mile for us. Highly recommend a visit.

Food is amazing never disappoints. Atmosphere is really nice music is the right volume, lights at the right brightnesses. The staff are so so kind and thoughtful and go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice Chinese.

Absolutely fabulous food, recommend the duck pancakes very much. Really nice staff, and the atmosphere was incredible, super nice decor and the music was tranquil

Lovely fresh food and service..lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options.

Great food and service. Unspoilt

A good place for that special occasion. The buffet menu is an average of £30 per person. We had the vegetarian banquet and the chef’s special banquet. Everyone had more than enough to eat and we all agreed that the food was delicious, well presented and the staff were friendly, polite and professional.

Bland basic food expensive for what it was, also a lot of stairs down & back up to toilets 😢

Amazing place went last night for Chinese new year was so good the staff where so kind and friendly made us feel so welcome there was 18 of us and nothing was to much trouble very friendly helpful fast service and such nice hot tasty food the dragon dance was amazing and such fun! Would definitely go again

It’s a long time since we were here but I’m glad to say the food and service were excellent. We certainly won’t leave it so long next time.

Absolutely fabulous food Delicious and service was superb Would highly recommend

The food here is delicious. You could order anything and it comes out perfect. Friendly staff and clean

First visit here for many years. Food was very fresh and well cooked... Staff were super friendly and attentive. Dim sum starter was lovely.

First visit, and am absolutely stuffed with seriously tasty food. Lovely waitstaff, very good service, highly recommend.

Celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with family ( group of 12 ) service and food were excellent

Never tried their food. But the boss is nasty to their staffs. Do not recommend.

Absolutely shocking food dodgy music and decor to go with it boxes piked up awful disgusting over priced place rice was mushy chowmein was tastlees duck was dry curry was disgusting ribs look Ed like the come of a hamster stay clear what a rip off

Absolutely gorgeous food. 5 of us from work on a Friday evening. We all loved it and can't wait for next time!

The worst Chinese food I’ve ever had! The rice tasted old and the bbq ribs was grey, tasteless and microwaved. DO NOT GO HERE if you want good Chinese food

In my food was cat meat and i like dogs

Service is very good. However, it’s a restaurant. For this price, the food is disappointing. Way too mediocre. Takeaway level really

Nice place to go, really helpful staff, and the food was plentiful and of good quality. Definitely worth a visit.

Really good service and good food. The Toffee fruit pudding is amazing 😍

Haven't been here for years so thought we'd give it a go for Valentines. Had the Chefs special Banquet, was absolutely fantastic, efficient friendly service, top quality food made from quality ingredients and a wonderful relaxing ambiance, we had a really memorable meal, will be going back again soon.

I came here some 50yrs ago when I was ten,each birthday my mum brought me here and it was great,I'm now 59 and although I live in London my friends and family still say its great

Nice food. Friendly Staff! Would recommend 👍🏻

Fantastic food and really friendly staff. I’ll be going again soon!

Lovely food, great service and nice restaurant 👌🏻

Capitol hosted a large party with approx 100 guests for us and did a superb job. They had a lot of vegan/veggie friendly options and plentiful food for everyone. They accommodated our request for a karaoke set up and the staff were very efficient and friendly. Highly recommended.

Meal very good chips very poor hard and dry

Amazing gluten free and vegan choice! I was told everything gluten free is prepared separately, and I could amend vegetarian dishes to be vegan. Lovely staff, food was tasty!

Tried the chef's buffet, soup/ starters poor ,the mains were good and filling.

Saturday evening 11th June Visited early evening. Many years ago this was our 'go to' Chinese restaurant. It's either changed hands or is now being run by some very disinterested management. I have to echo the opinion of other recent reviewers. The food was very bland - it seemed as though it had been prepared earlier and had been microwaved to heat it up. In terms of a 'banquet' it might have been considered so in North Korea but in England? It's nice to re-live old memories and even nicer when the experience matches those of many years ago. But in the case of the Capitol Restaurant, memories were definitely not made of this.

Excellent food and service, we had the Capitol banquet for 2 and every course was delicious, reasonably priced and fantastic friendly staff

Really good food at decent prices. Nice atmosphere too on a Saturday night. Service was good too!

Overpriced and very mediocre meals. Used to be amazing but far from it now.

Disappointing meal. Portions small, £17 fillet steak we got a very small portion. Had barbecue ribs and chicken satay skewers for starters both sauces were bland. We ordered soup and paid £4 for prawn crackers normally get them free!!. Meal was as expensive as Mr chows in parkgate but no were near as good

Prices quite reasonable. Clean. Food not bad. Not dead posh either!

Service bit slow, but food still lovely.

Lovely meal. Lovely new owner. Let's get this place rocking again. I'll be back soon.

Really rubbish bad service rubbish food expensive beers was 4 pound a pint it was a can with do not sell separately on, honestly the worst Chinese I've been

Lovely food in a nice, quiet atmosphere. Wonderful little evening out for some food.

We had a lively meal and served by lively staff

The food wonderful and very tasty dishes but not enough for what you pay for it I was still hungry afterwards. So I will not be going back again sorry.

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 disappointed 👎

Christine who is the new owner was amazing and we had a fantastic family meal. The menu was extensive and a good deal. Our reason for going was it was the first place my partners parents went on their first date 50 years ago and it was amazing to be able to return for them. Sorry no pictures as tne food was so good I forgot to take them. Will return and will take photos.

Waiting time for each meal was horrendous they was busy but no excuse, we had sat there for nearly 3 hrs in all that time the tables was left with food on and not removed the whole time got a banquet 3 people had a soup 1 samosa, 1spring roll, 1 rib, chicken skewer, seaweed and duck enough for 1 pancake wouldn't recommend it at all

Ordered for collection yesterday as it was my birthday and it was absolutely delicious - probably the best Chinese we’ve had! Everything was top quality and we were absolutely delighted. We only moved to the area late last year and had heard a lot about Capitol but hadn’t tried it yet but we’re already planning the next time we’ll get it, whether it’s once social distancing is over or as a takeaway!

Great food, lovely atmosphere and nice staff. Would love to visit again next time I'm in the area

Felt ripped off, portions meagre, the platter I was charged £17 for a few items which was mediocre at best. Nice but won't be back.

Chinese food tastes a little higher than the standard in other countries. But it's still said to be not very tasty if compared to real Chinese.

Hello, we visited Capital Chinese Restaurant Birkenhead this evening. The food was as usual very good. Staff friendly . We have eaten in Capitiol a few times - and will be back.

Excellent, waiting on service attentive, food tantalising and delicious. Great value for money xx⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely great. Great food and staff so friendly and helpful. Deffo recommend

Nice friendly and helpful staff, had takeaway noodles with sea food, dim sum and Chinese bok choy in garlic. They separated the noodles so it doesn't get soggy. Had a beer while waited and it all came to £29. Nice decor.

A very good eating place with lovely staff and great food.

Haven't been to the Capitol for years. Decided to visit with my husband, brother and sister in law last evening. We ordered a banquet for 4 people and we were not disappointed. Really lovely food, friendly attentive staff and great atmosphere. Loved it! We ordered the Chefs Banquet at £25.99 per head.

Nice, parking is paid in day time.

Had a lovely birthday meal here. Staff very friendly and couldn't be more accomadating. Thank you

A lovely Chinese Restaurant with a very good service and friendly staff. Good Food, Good Beer and Good Spirit available. Will come again.

Had a lovely meal as usual very good service highly recommend

Service was good and friendly but food not to the usual standards

Excellent, highly recommended!!!

I live round the corner and use regular. Great food and service.

Best Chinese food on the Wirral

I haven't been to this place for years. It's nice and clean, tidy and staff are really helpful and friendly. It's not an all you can eat place, portions are small

Great night lion dancing superb food and good service. Would recommend.

Nice food ,portion was a bit small for price at lunch time

Popular Chinese restaurant serving the Hamilton Square area of Birkenhead. They have special Christmas menus during the whole of December. And they also offer a takeaway service for those that don't want to have a sit down meal. Historically they used to give away a free mug with the restaurant details on it as well as information about the current Chinese New Year e.g. year of the horse etc. Quite a lot of people would collect them over the years. Unfortunately they stopped doing this some time ago, which was a shame.

Went for our Christmas night out service was great food delicious lovely time had by all

Average for a Chinese restaurant, food was ok. Service was not bad but wouldn't really go back as it was nothing special.

The best Chinese ive ever had. Lovely staff, clean restaurant

Quality food at a great restaurant

A tad expensive for what was dished up.

Good place for a fine chinese dinner with family and friends

Very enjoyable meal. Set menu at $11.95 for 2 courses.

A beautiful Chinese restaurant with a great service and helpful staff. Most of your usual favourites available on the menu and some great set meal options. Good value for money, ment we didn't have to splash out and this made our visit even more memorable. Also a wide variety of beers and spirits available at the bar to help wash the food down.

Got to be the worst Chinese meal I have eves the misfortune to go in... If I could score a minus I would!!! Asked for no water chestnuts in my meal came full of them and no beansprouts which I did ask for... Chicken was rubbery and full of gristle and the other halrs chicken fried rice was bland no flavour at all. Bbq ribs were brown with no flavour only decent thing was the soup!!! £55 down the drain. Never again

Only recently revisited, great new Set Menu from £11.95 Lovely friendly staff. We go at least once a week.

Meal was nice only thing that let it down was the prawn crackers had nicer ones from the local, but may have been a bad batch

Excellent meals. Great range of choices and very good value set menus. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and the artwork added to our enjoyment.

Still living on its reputation but not as good as it was. Standards and quality have dropped.

Fantastic value and the food is amazing

Love the food...we like to sneak in here for lunch occasionally

Always good food and service here

Lovely food but small portions and expensive.

Sh**e, not the best place for a Chinese looking very tired and dated

Good quality produce and healthy

🎈Best Chinese restraunt on the wirral🎈, we have our🎄Christmas party here every year!🎄💥

Great food, courteous and friendly staff.

We came new year spent 140 pound and had the worst experiecnce ive ever had in a chinese restaurant food was cold staff were rude and was just not plesent atall then when we rang up an companin they offer us a free glass of wine next time we come i have been here so many times and i wont be returning xdiscrace

Not been here for a couple of years very disappointed restaurant was empty when we arrived hovering over us,taking plates away as we just finished last mouthful. Food only warm, couple of large parties came in and suddenly we were forgotten waited forty minutes for dessert never got it asked for bill waited fifteen minutes what a difference without steve tam

A good banquet served for a large party with decent vegetarian options

I walked past the place and Google maps insists that I went in! Mmm?

Never had a bad meal here, outstanding quality. One of the best!

The Capitol has been consistently the best restaurant in Birkenhead for over 20 years, as a regular, I have fond memories of family celebrations, New Year parties, charity fundraisers and more, you always get a warm welcome, quality food and service....enjoy.

Friendly staff, good service, exceptional food, and a free mug at the end. What more could one ask for? A little more expensive than others but worthy of that bit extra.
