New Capital in Liverpool

We're over the moon to have finally found an amazing Chinese restaurant in Liverpool - best one we've had in the city. The service was brilliant, all the food came within 10 minutes and the staff were lovely. The only con was the noise - group of people next to us were very jolly, and we could barely hear each other!

It's like the old fashion Chinese restaurants which are fab. So welcoming and the food is so tasty and plenty of it.

The best Chinese in Liverpool. Great food, I recommend Banquet C. Nice chilled atmosphere and staff always so friendly. I can't fault this place. Have been many times.

The New Capital used to be my go to restaurant in China Town when I lived and worked in the city. I returned after 20 years and found it to be virtually unchanged with the same family still running it. We we greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we entered and the food and service were excellent. Highly recommended if you want to experience authentic Chinese food in a family run restaurant.

My own jaw dropped when the waitress snatched the drink menu out of my boyfriend’s hands, he was clearly looking to order something but not after that. She threw it back on the table so he could make a decision but at that point, we’re not spending any extra money here. The same waitress brought a tray of waters and literally pushed it into my arm on the table to make room for the tray. Unsure if it was racism as some of our group is black, or if she truly had depth dimension issues. Small restaurant, everyone’s voice carries so hard to hear your own table. Food was less than stellar, perhaps it was the bad taste in my mouth from the nasty service. Super unhappy we spent any amount of time here.

Some staff clearly do not like Black people. Waitress was very rude and short with our group. Made it a point to constantly bump into those of us sittef near thr aisle. The other staff definitely attempted to recover the situation, but ultimately cannot recommend. Avoid if possible. Food was slightly above average, but nothing to write home about. Lots of other Chinese food options nearby. 2 stars becuase the food was decent.

Absolutely fabulous place. Nothing too much trouble. Helpful staff. Delicious food.

Unfortunately the food we had today was very bland compared to when we went there over 6 years ago, which is a shame. We won't be going back there again.

Visited China town today at 4pm, this was pretty much the only place open. Its the start of freshers week so the area is really busy. A warm Scouse Chinese welcome from all the staff who served us and made us feel like regulars despite never visiting before. The soon realised Charlie the boy was starting Uni and they made him very welcome. Had the banquet for 3 and it was really good. Everything hot and tasted fresh. Good portion sizes too. Hot n sour soup was fabulous. Spare ribs were melt in the mouth! Duck & pancakes fab. So much food we had to take a lot of the main courses home with us. Drinks reasonably priced too. We hadn’t booked but the place filled up quickly. Would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back soon.

It's the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten in my life 🤯

I dined here on a chilly rainy Thursday night . it was a little chilly but the dishes warmed me up rather well they were warm and moist and full of flavour . the chairs could have been been a little softer as I left with an aching back but overall great

The most excellent restaurant service - first class amazing.

they managed to squeeze us in a party of 15 at short notice on a Saturday evening. A hostess owner was extremely diligent friendly and extremely organised. Fantastic service cannot be faulted very friendly. food was good, I opted for a quarter duck as a starter and then went on to have a rice noodle soup.

Food absolutely tasteless, no atmosphere, dull decor 1960s style, never go back,only light side staff pleasant.

Great food and service - staff are so friendly. Best wor tip ever tasted - fresh and home made.

Wow! Best Chinese restaurant I have been to in ages! Such good food and the owner/hostess and staff were all fantastic

Had a set meal which i thought was fair value. All tasted great but alot of wastage! Portion sizes very generous Staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely friendly place me, an my dad stumbled across. Amazing owner & staff very helpful. Food was piping hot fresh and tasty. Can't fault this lovely authentic Chinese restaurant in the heart of liverpool 😋

Excellent service - plenty of tasty food and at a decent price - our go to place if we fancy a chinese meal. I would advise booking a table to avoid disappointment.

Lovely service. Helpful in creating a gluten free option which was delicious

Dropped in with one of my sons and really pleased we did.

This on my opinion is the BEST Chinese in Liverpool There's never a time when you go and the foods not good The food is absolutely spot on every time BY FAR THE BEST ABOUT

Best restaurant in town. Full stop.

Delicious food and nice climate. Prices are ok and it's definitely worth to eat there.

Good little chinese, chicken was nice, nothing special - service was quick, quite full with children running around though

Just dropped in as we were very hungry. This was a great place and certainly as good as any we have eaten in London’s Gerard Street.

I've Had Two Good Chinese Meal's Here in The New Capital Chinese Restaurant On Nelson Street in China Town Liverpool Merseyside Chicken Fried There On Friday 12th April 2024 And Had A Beef Soap With Noodles Today On Tuesday 16th April 2024 And I Enjoyed It 😉

A very good Chinese. my partner was able to eat great tofu dish. I had sliced fillet beef with green peppers and oyster sauce - perfect a must on first visit. Great service and atmosphere.

You won't find a better Chinese than here I've eaten at alot of places and this takes the piss out of them all Loads of people rave about the north garden.... Trust me this is well better..

Amazing good, clean, not oily, massive portions, excellent value for money, definitely worth it

Nice service, but food was very overcooked, dry and bland

✅️ Very friendly and helpful staff. ✅️ Very tasty food ✅️ And plenty of it ✅️ Reasonable prices Highly recommend it 👍🏻🏆

Chinese food for unsuspecting Brits and people who don't know chinese food! Dated! Tasred the fridge! Not chinese at all

Most horrifying experience of my life. Chicken was pink. Staff was horrible with disgusting attitude. As for the manger, I have never met such a rude and incompetent person in my life. I highly suggest you do not go.

I've been looking for a place to have the roast duck. So, I've been to a few chinese restaurants before this one where I experienced racism, and poor service. Well, this one is no exception.

We visited for my son’s 9th birthday with a large family group. The staff were lovely and accommodating, the food was delicious and it was a lovely evening just as we had hoped.

Service was a little slow but it was busy

Very authentic cantonese style restaurant located in chinatown. The crispy noodles is the must order in this restaurant and i would just go there and order this noodles. Amazing noodles. As for the singaporean stir fry noodles, it is too salty and the noodles is kind of stick together. Salt and pepper siu mai is also too salty. However i am really impressed by the crispy noodles so is still a 5 stars. I hope they can improve by cooking with less salt for the dishes. And the price is very cheap!

Amazing visit..took my friends from out of town and they loved it here. Thanks for a great evening with amazing food.

This is just the best restaurant - the food was excellent. We chose to come to the New Capital for my birthday - no regrets.

Came here a few times and had an amazing meal every time! The staff here are so friendly and welcoming, I’ve tried a lot of Chinese restaurants in Liverpool and this is by far the best. My favourite things to order is the king do ribs, hot and sour soup is a must try and the curry beef.

If you’re looking for good Chinese food this place is it. We stopped in as we are staying close and loved everything we had. We got salt and pepper chicken and shrimp, shrimp curry and chicken spring rolls. Everything was excellent. Service was lovely as well and they have full bar menu! Recommend if you’re craving Chinese food while in Liverpool.

Because I was on my own, they told me that my table had been reserved (despite there having been no "reserved" card on my arrival) in order to kick me out so that they could make money on the other 3 seats.

Called last minute and the very friendly lady found us a table. The staff were so nice one was especially chatty with my little girl. The food was amazing so fresh my favourite was the duck and pancakes 5*

Great food. Good experience. Staff very friendly

Hadn't been for a while but service great. nice friendly atmosphere .and food excellent especially the salt an pepper pork chops starter. we had family birthday celebration here we had great evening..

Very nice food and friendly staff.

Service was very friendly and helpful and food was great, reasonable quantity and great tasting. I recommend and will certainly drop by again.

Frances and Jen are always on top form, welcoming you with grace and humour. The food is first class, the service is fast and efficient. I couldn’t recommend a restaurant more highly than The New Capital.❤️

Fran and apologies for not knowing the names of the other family/staff members are amazingly friendly, this restaurant is fantastic whether you are with friends or family, we've been there with both and they really made a fuss of my granddaughter, The food is of a really high standard in quality, presentation, choice and I've not experienced Chinese food in Liverpool any better than the New Capital.

Went for a meal for my wife's birthday, 8th May 2023. Meal was gorgeous, no complaints whatsoever.

The food was okay, but reminded me of something I would get at a buffet instead of a dish I ordered.

Without doubt, the best Chinese restaurant in Liverpool. Service and food alway first class. Make sure you ring to book as very popular and parking is limited.

4 of us came for my Husbands Birthday last night I don't normally have Chinese food normally have Italian or Indian I had vegetable spring rolls to start with and omg ...absolutely lovely and then had Chicken+Mushroom my husband had a soup which was again very good and salted Squid etc which he loved we will definitely be coming back all the staff very helpful and friendly oh and the spring onion fried rice ...lovely this Restaurant is a must go to place if you are in Liverpool

Had a set meal for 2 but to be honest the food was very very salty . Service was quick staff fabulous. Sorry i wont come back

Good tasting food . Ample portions. Good service and good value in Liverpool Chinatown Crispy aromatic duck very tasty

Food very very tasty enjoying atmosphere 10 out of 10

Fantastic food and amazing service. We ordered the set menu for 3 and just couldn’t believe the amount of food that came out. Ended up taking a lot away and had for dinner the next night. Manager and all the waiting staff were delightful

Haven't been in years before this visit. Wad the place to go when I was a kid. Still is. Cracking food, cracking service. Definitely worth a revisit sooner this time

Tried to call and place an order and the girl I spoke to was soo rude!!! Kept putting the phone down on me and had the worst attitude. Didn’t end up getting food as I didn’t want to ring back for a third time as she left such a sour taste in our mouths!

A very Fine Place in Liverpool. You will find there very good and delicious meals from China. The Card is very different and everything is Good. A exzellent Place too have excellent dinners. And very good Service with friendly Style. You must go there.

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in the town!

We really enjoyed the food. We'll be back soon.

Abbiamo scelto un menu con più portate, tutto molto gustoso e abbondante in particolare le costine di maiale e le crocchette di pollo.

All round brilliant. Have been many times and always fantastic.

Only just realised reopened. Food and service as good as ever and need to let rest of family know they can go to favourite restraunt again

非常好嘅中餐館,分量大,價錢抵,招呼周到. 第一次食, 實在非常滿意.4個人叫四碟,足夠有餘. A very good Chinese restaurant, with large portions, reasonable prices, and considerate greetings. The first time I ate it, I was very satisfied. Four dishes were more than enough for 4 people.

I brought a group of boys from Hong Kong, who are boarders at Warwick School. We had done a morning tour of Anfield Stadium tour and were on our way to Old Trafford to watch the UNICEF football match. The boys were very hungry, so I randomly chose this restaurant for them to experience some oriental food. What a find. We were made to feel so welcome and the manageress was able to converse with the boys in Mandarin, as well as revert back to her Liverpudlian accent. The service was great and the food delicious. It added a whole new dimension to our day and the boys moved on to the football satisfied, having experienced food as good as they would expect back at home. If we are ever that way again, we will be booking in, and my wife has asked me to take her there next time we are in Liverpool.

Went Sunday at Two when it's supposed to open. Paid £3.60 for 2 hrs parking and the restaurant didn't open. No response from the phone and no note on the door. They obviously don't care about their customers, absolute disgrace, will never go there again.

Fantastic place with great staff who were very accommodating for a large stag party.

Lovely restaurant staff are lovely and very welcoming. Would reccomend if you're in the city.

We tried the Char Siu Crispy Pork in Black Bean Sauce, the King Do Peking Ribs, Beef with Cashewnuts, and Siu Mai. Everything was absolutely delicious! If you’re in town, you should definitely give it a try!

Visited china town to see the Arch…got talking to a local for best restaurant New Capital was recommended….and did not disappoint…my food choice recommended by staff .Nice portions and very well priced….would highly recommend if you visiting Liverpool………..

Thank you for the way you all helped when my sister fell ill, you were all amazing, we were enjoying the amazing banquet that was served to us when it happened, the food was out of this world, and we will return soon to enjoy your beautifully served dishes and to thank you personally. Again a massive thank you to everyone, this was our second visit, we loved the first visit and will continue to visit time and again.

Friendly staff with large portions. Food was tasty. Coming from London where the portion sizes are a lot smaller we were pleasantly surprised when our meals arrived.

Fantastic food and fabulous service. Never disappoints- always consistently good. Husband had the char Sui pork in yellow bean with noodles and cashew nuts, I had chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce- amazing!

Always good food, great value and friendly service feels like home.

Found this restaurant in China town Liverpool What a find food was great hot and a good size portion.Highly recommend this restaurant.

If the food wasn’t enough the service was enough to bring you back, The noodles and rice were to die for and the crispy chilly beef alongside the chicken satay were the perfect main dishes. We couldn’t have had the perfect meal without the staff!! they helped us pick, checked on us as much as they could and even shut later after normal so we could finish our food and drinks. An amazing Chinese Restaurant well worth the money. We ordered so much we couldn’t finish it so we requested takeaway boxes that the staff sorted for us, 10/10 service and food. The food was immaculate as well as the staff! This is definitely #1 on food destinations for me and my boyfriend definitely recommend!!

Love it here! It’s my go to Chinese treat when I visit my mate in Liverpool. Excellent food, fantastic service. So good I have I travel about 350miles for it

Do not let the looks fool you. The food is great, good sized portions and an acceptable price.

Very delicious food, good portions. The king prawn noodle soup was fresh and well served

I and my husband was visiting Liverpool for our anniversary, and wanted to try something different. Saw this place being in Chinatown and decided to give it a try. Excellent service, ambiance, food absolutely delicious, cooked fresh 😋..we both enjoy our orders. Would highly recommend.

Typical Chinese restaurant in Liverpool's Chinatown, (just as you would expect, plastic tablecloth etc....)!!!😄 "BUT"!!!! We went for lunch, 2pm last friday 28th April 2023, ("Banquet for 4 - £22 each). Food was absolutely "Excellent"!!! Service was Great, obviously a family run restaurant, lovely people, couldn't have been more friendly!!! 😀 "Very Highly Recommended"!!!

The best Chinese restaurant in China town. The food is exceptional and always cooked fresh. Staff are lovely and friendly, always make the time to come over and speak to their customers. Great value for money and so much choice, you always need to visit again to try all the food

Restaurant top. Service de qualité et des plats d’une qualités sensationnels. Un vrai régal pour les papilles. Autant les nouilles...

Comida muy rica y servicio impecable

10 friends dining together. Lovely food, great service, very friendly, helpful, staff.

Service was absolutely amazing, really friendly staff and we felt well looked after. Extremely reasonable prices and the portions were HUGE so definitely good value. Food was delicious (the noodles were probably the best I’ve ever had). Would definitely recommend.

Was very tasty food, excellent service.

Excellent food and friendly helpful staff

Been going here for year's. Fabulous food.

I thought I had already written a review but here goes. First visit to the restaurant and Liverpool. Service was excellent and friendly. We had duck and pancakes to start, excellent. My wife had sweet and sour chicken which looked good and she said it was very tasty. I had fried pork which came with a large potion of bean sprouts. I'm not a fan of bean sprouts but the pork was very tasty. In hindsight I ordered the wrong dish but that's on me and not the restaurant. Would definitely go back if in Liverpool and recommend.

The three of us rolled in here for something to eat and it was just the ticket. A nice starter (pork belly in fried batter) , then crispy shredded beef, something fishy and something eggy. - choose what catches your eye - with a bowl...

Myself and my Wife turned up just before closing and they could not of been more accommodating. Great food, great service and at reasonable price. I would easily recommend a meal here, very good food and good portions with the option for take home if...

Hands down, my favourite restaurant in the city. The quality of the food is impeccable. The staff are so welcoming, and they remember me every time (I visit from the South and always try and go). Good atmosphere, very reasonably priced.

Perfect if you want some chinese, huge selection in the menu, friendly and helpful staff, great food what else would you want, don't look any further if you fancy some chinese this is the place

I paid £17.50 (take away) for half of Chinese roast duck yesterday, the duck is very poor quality. tast like frozen Roast duck from the supermarket and they warn it up with mircowave and hot water.
