Been my go-to for years. Prompt and consistent, nice staff, and decent prices. Great beer selection to boot if you pickup! (or not ;)

Great place. Good food and always prompt. Friendly as well. Better than other Chinese restaurants in the area.

Delicious. I got the orange chicken, chicken chow mein and rangoons. Love that I can get my alcohol and dinner in the same place. The location is also great. Will be coming here again read more

The shrimp rolls were cooked with care and a light coating of love The shrimp in them large and delicious Great atmosphere can eat in or take out The beer selection was second to none read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Today we ordered the general tsos chicken which was deliciously crispy, Szechuan bean curd which was yummy and flavorful and had lots of veggies, and boneless spare ribs which were solid. Pork fried rice was good too, not dry and flavorful enough. We've also had the fried chicken here before which is delicious (a tidbit salty). The egg rolls are nothing special. Really enjoyed this meal and had lots of leftovers for two people! read more

Ordered lunch for pick-up and it was okay. Probably won't order it again if I go back.

Best Chinese food around in my area. I've order from here twice so far. The very first time, I craved chicken wings. I like the authentic Chinese store chicken wings I used to eating growing up as a kid. I'm now 33. I am not talking about the winglets, they sell now at a lot of Chinese fast food restaurants I have order from. Long story short the chicken wings was a hit. It was tasty. I ordered mine with salt and pepper along with French fries. It's good to eat soon as soon as possible so it doesn't get soggy. 2nd time, the next day I order chickens wings again, house fried rice, and shrimp lomein. I have to admit I enjoy everything and will order from here all the time. I'm happy to write this review. I didn't purchase any beers or alcohol in the store but i notice they have a lot of variety to pick from. They also have chips and candies. I didn't take any pictures but in the future I will. I ate everything too quick. Ps: the young lady that ring me up is very sweet and considerate too. read more

Capital Beer is a staple in the area for the consistently good and affordable Chinese food. The person who answers the phone is always pleasant and positive. Pick up is usually within 15 minutes. read more

If I was rating Chinese food for just the surrounding neighborhood I would rate Capital Beer 4 stars. It's definitely one of the best places to get Chinese in fishtown/port Richmond area. It's definitely better than your run of the mill Chinese take out shop but not as good as similarly priced restaurants in china town. The food actually has a hint of spice or heat when it says it will and the food has always been tasty, delivery has been fast and I'm always eating everything. It's typical American Chinese food. read more

I was looking for a nearby restaurant on UberEats that severed both Chinese and sushi. This was the only restaurant I could fine! I was skeptical- but with these reviews I decided to give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised! Everything was delicious, no errors, correct amount, etc. I was sad to see yelps delivery rate was higher than uber eats or else I would have gotten it delivered through yelp. Now coming back to review- I am a little nervous that the business is unclaimed AND the health score is super low for separate orders of sushi and Chinese I will go elsewhere because of this health score, but if both are wanted I will order again?! read more

If you want beer! GO!!!! Cheap take out beer compared to a lot of the other places in the area. Food wise!! NEVERRRRRR!!! They constantly have food violations against them. Ate sushi once and it was so gross. Didn't even finish it. Don't do it!!!!! read more

This is my go to chinese take out. The Chinese menu is excellent and the sushi is way better than you'd expect.

Solid Chinese food and sushi. I ordered via DoorDash and I picked up the food in person. I really over-ordered for our party for 2, but I'm happy to have leftovers. This is what we got: Spicy Tuna Roll and Alaskan Roll (good size), Wonton Soup, Pork Fried Dumplings, Szechuan Bean Curd, Chicken Sticks and Pork Fried Rice. All were very good and overall I was impressed. read more

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone reading all of these positive reviews. What is going on here?? I just finished my meal and can't even wait until tomorrow morning to write the review! This is definitely not the answer to our lack of Chinese and sushi restaurants. All of the food here was absolutely flavorless, served in heaping portions, and mushy. The egg roll was seriously filled with kimchi. The inside was pink and tasted like vinegar. When I asked my husband what he thought of it he couldn't put his finger on the weird flavor. When I suggested it tasted like kimchi he was like YES! The beef with broccoli and the lo mein both tasted like MSG and nothingness. My husband referred to the lo mein as "brown noodles." The wonton soup was the only marginally edible thing here, but you don't get much in your order, so there's that. The sushi was worse than grocery store sushi. The seaweed wrap was in edible in that you couldn't chew it! It wouldn't break up in my mouth. It just basically un-rolled itself while I was chewing. The water (yes I'm about to talk about tap water) tasted like plastic. Maybe it was the glass (which wasn't made of glass)? Who knows. The waitress was very nice and said "thank you" after every sentence, but she messed up my order and brought me house lo mein instead of just pork. Also, the credit card system is very odd and we didn't get a receipt. This joint would be great for beer and convenience store offerings. Please, don't make the mistake we did and eat here. I can't fault them for trying to cover the need, but it's just not good. read more

the worst out of the worst take out food I ever tasted chicken was old cooked in old oil soup was super bland no flavor at all! the rice was super hard the sauce tasted like it was expire the chips that came with the soup tasted like it was sitting for years! Such a disappointment !!! Never again !!! read more

Got delivery from capital beer through Uber eats. Came exactly on time given the quoted estimate on the app. We ordered two tiger rolls, an eel avocado roll and steamed dumplings. The dumplings were awesome. Absolutely perfectly made to my liking with the thicker dumpling as opposed to the softer more flimsy dough covering. The sauce that accompanied it was good as well. Both rolls were great. The tiger roll came with 8 rolls and the eel avocado roll had 6 rolls. They gave us 4 containers of soy sauce. We could have had less containers and more inside each container. They gave us two pairs of chopsticks but also there was an empty chopstick paper holder which was odd. They didn't include any fortune cookies but they included plenty of napkins. All in all good experience. Would order again. read more

My go-to General Tso's spot. Always affordably priced even when feeding multiple people. And you can grab a drink while you're there. Staff is quick and friendly! read more

Fast delivery and good good every time. It's by no means upscale Chinese food, but it is delicious, generous portions for the price, and great lunch specials. Honestly, what more do you want from tour Christmas Day Chinese dinner?? read more

So i have ordered from this restaurant 4 times now. The first time had a terrible time with the delivery side of the order, but food was good. The other 3 times i had nothing but cancelled orders and lies about when the food was completed and had left wit the driver. This happened again last night which was the 4th time!The food was ready within a fair amount of time. So the food is left with the driver 15 minutes late if you're still at the same location on the GPS map. I called the driver after texting and getting no response. He answered and told me after thinking about it for a couple seconds that his car needed a jump. He 10 more minutes. So I gave him 10 more minutes and of course nothing happens, the car never left GPS location where it was at the restaurant. I cancelled order. read more

Fresh rolls and great food, they usually take around 10 to 15 min to get your food ready. Also they have a lot of variations of beer

Don't judge a book by it's cover! This place is awesome. I order from capital beer at least 3x a month and Have never been disappointed. The food is excellent, quick service, always hot and fresh, great portions, inexpensive. If you're in the area, don't any other Chinese!!! Love you capital beer!!! read more

Food was great! Ordered roasted pork lo mein, general tsos chicken, crab rangoons, & egg rolls. Ordered through uber eats-- super easy. Delivery driver was friendly. Best Chinese food delivery in this area. Will be ordering again read more

Capital Beer - Wonton soup from Capital Beer - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best Chinese I've had in the area. The chow mein was amazing and so was everything else. Will definitely be visiting frequently!

Beer to go, Chinese food, sushi, and a whole lot more all under one roof. Capital Beer has something for everyone which is why I really hope it succeeds. From Olde English 40's, PBR, and domestics to micro brews and yuppie hipster beers. Dutch master cigars to Newports. Skittles to M&Ms. Burgers, fried chicken, and french fries to General Tso's to sushi. The only thing missing was 1/2" Plexiglas. There has been a lot of buzz about a place with such an eclectic mix of offerings and the recently opened restaurant, sushi bar, bottle shop was pretty busy when I went for dinner last night. They have a decent amount of seating inside and a small sushi bar. Beer is in display cases behind the counter which is a pain but, well, necessary. They have a good selection, though not as large as Bottle Bar East or the Foodery, and the prices were pretty good. The food is probably more like 3 stars, nothing horrible and nothing extraordinary. I was surprised by the sushi, I expected the worst but was pleasantly surprised. The Chinese food was the typical take out menu. My lo mein was a little greasy but it's take out Chinese. Service was decent especially for being so busy. It did take a while to pay the check. But they do use iPads to take orders and square to accept credit cards which is nice. The inside looks to be completely redone and is nice, clean, and updated. They also have a TV displaying the feeds from about as many cameras as the big brother house, which I'm going to say is a good thing. Like I said, food wise it's more of a 3 star joint, which isn't a bad thing, but given their wide range of offerings and ability to serve multiple needs for townie and hipster alike, I really hope this place does well. read more

Capital Beer - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Everything is amazing and delicious ...we have ordered so many different items from the menu...the general Tao always a winner and with two vegetarians in the house...they make a version with tofu which is incredible ...all the lo meins excellent ...boneless ribs ...WOW...spring rolls, egg rolls oh and did I mention the sushi??? Soooo gooood if you haven't already you must try their food !!! It's a great find in the Capital Beer store !!! It's on Cumberland a hidden Gem!! read more

This is the best regular-ass Chinese food around. Sushi, not so great. They now deliver through Uber Eats! read more

Get Chinese food!!! I read a few of these reviews which prompted me to write this...I love this place it's my go-to Chinese food not just for location but because of quality of service and food. Never got sick in the years since it opened, never found hair in my wonton (which sounds like a made up story and I think that picture was staged) if there's an oddball beer I want then they have it or they'll get it but they have my standbys usually. Here's a tip if you wanna complain about sushi tho, don't order a cheeseburger at a taco stand, the same way you shouldn't order sushi from a Chinese/ beer store. These people are nice and the food is good, Sweet n Sour Chicken, General Tso's chicken (ask for extra crispy) moo goo gai pan, wonton soup and egg drop soup and lastly chicken with garlic sauce, it doesn't taste garlicky like the title suggests but picture chicken and broccoli with more veggies than just broccoli with a similar sauce that tastes a tiny bit spicier. If you go here and somehow have a bad experience just go again- not everyone's perfect the first time, and especially if you ordered during a rush-think how many times you dropped the ball on a first impression. I know you don't have to smile or politely ask how their day is going, no one has to do that but maybe you should, happy people=happy food which = happy people. anyways if you're new to the area or just passing through eat well and drink well here. read more

I was extremely skeptical of this place as I walked by. I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. I'm not going to say it was the best food I've ever had, but the lunch special was cheap and quick, came out piping hot, and had flavor. I was able to snag a cheap beer and lunch for less than $10. I'm absolutely coming back here. read more

Worst place ever. Delivered the wrong food. When I called to tell them the error, they said they gave someone else my food. $70 worth of food. Then she hung up on me. Order from somewhere else. read more

To be fair, I'm not much of a Chinese food fan in general - but my boyfriend ordered the special Lo Mein and thought it was pretty good. He said he would definitely be back - as it was the best Chinese cuisine he's had in Philly, though he's had better at other places we've lived. I got a couple of sushi rolls and the crab Rangoon wontons. The sushi was really fresh, very well made and some of the best I've had in a long time. I got the tuna roll and the Fancy roll, which is salmon and avocado topped with spicy tuna. My food fell more within the 4 star range. I wish there were half stars, but I think atmosphere/environment knocked it down to 3 for me. It felt a little too casual, especially if I'm paying over $40 for a meal for two. Plus they don't offer smaller sizes of the entrees if you eat in. read more

Capital Beer - Huge beer selection - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Not a fancy place but they serve their purpose- solid and fast Chinese food, good sushi for prices, large beer selection. Poor table service so probably better as a take out or pick up spot. read more

Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Always fresh and quality ingredients. My #1 pick is the wonton soup! Best wonton soup in philly, hands down! read more

This is our go to for Chinese in the area. Their general tso and lo mein is the best combination and they taste sooo good. They never messed up our orders and yeah they don't deliver but hey its a good excuse to walk there to burn some calories before eating a crap ton of food. Overall this place is very affordable, efficient, fast and tasty. Oh btw I personally would never try sushi here. If you want good sushi go to a sushi restaurant. This is a fast food chinese spot. read more

Got food delivered and asked for extra sauces (soy sauce and duck sauce), got only 2 packets of soy and no duck sauce. Asked for my chow mein spicy, it was not spicy at all and absolutely no flavor. Also ordered kung pao chicken, chicken had no flavor and the peanuts, carrots, and celery were raw, thrown on top after the fact. Not the best Chinese food I've had. read more

On two separate occasions they forgot to include an egg roll that I paid for. I called and told them and they said I would receive a free one on my next order. So today, I asked for my free egg roll and was met with a crabby attitude from the woman behind the counter. On top of that, they over charged me for my main course. Bad attitude + deceit = NEVER RETURN AGAIN read more

I'm currently on the quest to eat sushi at every sushi place in Philadelphia. I live in the neighborhood however and have never tried Capital Beer. Honestly, I just assumed it would be bad. Its a place where the dope heads in Port Richmond can buy a Four Loko, not somewhere you expect the food to be good. After hearing from a friend the sushi was awesome I decided to give it a try. I was so wrong for assuming from neon signs and the neighborhood it would be bad. Everything was top notch. From our friendly server, to our ridiculously awesome soup, to our tasty sushi. I will be back and honestly I feel stupid for assuming from the other reviews that this place was anything other than a great restaurant. As a restaurant manager this is what peeves me off about Yelp. read more

**This review is for their beer only.** I stopped in on my way to a BYO dinner to grab some beers and was instantly impressed by their vast beer selection. They carried a good variety of Asian and domestic name brand beers, but they also had some local brewery selections as well. Most importantly, they had my favorite Lindemans Framboise lambic beer (happy dance) which I rarely find in a small beer shop if this sort. But having said that, the variety doesn't come without a cost--their prices are definitely a bit high. If ever I'm in a pinch for time and needed to pick up some beers, I think I would still come here again. Their convenient location near me and variety warrant that at least. read more
