    Met up with friends here for a late night dinner and had a great time. This is definitely a more modern pho spot. We tried the pork bao, egg rolls, beef pho, shrimp pho, and the sautéed scallion corn which ended up being my favorite. Everything was tasted good and nicely presented. It's a bit pricier than your typical pho restaurant, but we really enjoyed the overall experience and would come back again when we're in the area.

    Onions that they missed while fishing out the rest
    Ken T.

    I ate here three times in a week. The first two times were great, but the last one really made it my last trip. There were five of us, we all ordered pho. Unfortunately, I was the only one who asked for no onions in my pho. I was a bit suspicious when the other four got their pho before I did. When my pho came out, the broth was barely warm. I looked closer and saw a few bits of onions floating in my bowl. Yes, they spent five minutes fishing out the onions instead of making me a new bowl. The flavor of my broth was ruined and it wasn't even hot enough to soften the bean sprouts. I really wanted to like this place, but after they pulled this on me, it makes me wonder what else goes on in the kitchen. At $20 a bowl, I expected better service. I probably won't come back.

    Great late night food option. Not a lot of food available late at night and we've been putting off going to this joint. Service was fast and the restaurant was nice and clean. I thought it was a really good bowl of pho and the rib inside was nice and tender. We liked the eggrolls and even ordered the filet mignon with garlic noodles. Both were above average and they also had a great drink selection.

    Veggie pho in veggie broth with side of beef rib (loved the generous helping and variety of veggies offered)
    Christine N.

    Loved my first visit here! The veggie pho with vegan broth was so good! They offered a variety of veggies, too! Also tried a bite of the beef off the rib, it was soft, juicy, and tender! Definitely coming back to try other options. Can't believe haven't heard of this place until recently.

    Garlic Noodle with Shaken Filet Mignon
    Mehul M.

    The food is pretty good and consistent. The shake beef filet mignon hits each time and the noodles are not too garlicky. All the apps are good too. Glad to see Irvine finally having some more places that are actually open late since the city needs that. The employees and ambiance is really nice.

    Wonderful restaurant with a nice and simple menu with large detailed pictures of each item. The food is delicious with solid portions. The oxtail pho was phenomenal, with the meat super soft and falling off the bone. The filet mignon garlic noodles were also packed with flavor. A modern and clean aesthetic with friendly and chill staff.

    Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed some healthy, belly-filling pho. Glad we saw the "Soup Shop" sign! We had delicious steak pho- and the best part?- noodle refills! We will be back! The end.

    Crispy Chicken with fried rice

    Terrific salmon with super delicious garlic parmesan noodles, tasty crispy chicken with fried rice and very savory vegetable pho! Great service and nice & comfortable dining indoors with cool air conditioning. Highly recommend Soup Shop for tasty options!

    Rib bone
    Crystal C.

    This place serves a solid bowl of pho. The broth had a nice depth of flavor, the noodles were pleasantly chewy, and the meat was cooked well. My only complaints about the pho itself are that I wish the soup had come out hotter, and there was a giant piece of tripe in my bowl that hadn't been cut down at all. It was awkward to eat and felt like something that should have been trimmed into smaller pieces before being served. Overall, it was still a satisfying bowl. That said, there were a few things that left me confused. I ordered the Pho Combination by pointing to the photo on the menu, which clearly showed a beef rib and was labeled as the combination pho. When my bowl arrived, there was no rib included. Maybe there was some misunderstanding, but it felt a bit misleading. I ended up ordering the rib on the side for an additional $6, and it didn't arrive until I was already halfway through my meal. Our waiter recommended the sautéed scallion corn, so we decided to give it a try. The dish was a bit confusing. When I think of a corn appetizer, I expect either a smaller portion or something that's meant to be shared alongside other dishes. Instead, it was just a large bowl of corn. Since the menu is mostly pho, noodles, and rice dishes, it didn't really feel like it paired naturally with anything we ordered. We basically ended up eating spoonfuls of corn between bites of our meal. The flavor was okay, but nothing memorable, and I think it could have been seasoned more aggressively. The Vietnamese coffee also wasn't my favorite as it had a slightly burnt taste. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean and the pho was satisfying. I was disappointed to learn they no longer offer unlimited noodles,l.

    Pho rib bone
    Clinton C.

    Standard decent pho. The rib bone was a bit dry, galbitang rib bone is more tender. If you're used to 626 pho, this is not as good. Did have indoor and covered outdoor seating for my dog. Plenty of parking inside a large plaza

    Pho Brisket
    Eleanor C.

    Food was delicious! I ordered a beef brisket pho and we got the filet mingon fries for the table. Both the both of pho and the fries filled us up well and I appreciated the quick service the servers had when accommodating our requests. The broth was really warm and the fries were perfectly crunchy. I would come back with friends and family to try! They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Devin K.

    I want start off by saying this restaurant is number #12 for Yelp elites in the US for Pho. I was looking for a late night Pho run, however it was an interesting experience. I ordered Horchata because I was in the mood for something sweet and the drink tasted like water. I also ordered the popcorn chicken per the picture, but I feel like I got bait and switched i.e. the photo that was uploaded. It's definitely very Americanized and more of a fusion flare. I also feel like the server forgot we ordered popcorn chicken, so it came out after we finished eating our main order. The pho broth was a little bland, onions, and lime were excluded from the toppings + I would not go there again for the Pho. A few pros were the menu is very aesthetically pleasing it's almost like a picture book and there are big proportion sizes you can share among people!

    Pho Combination
    Mohammad H.

    An amazing pho shop in Irvine with excellent quality and fantastic options. We tried the combination pho and the brisket pho. And I have to say if you love trying different kinds of meat, the combination pho is the way to go. Packed with flavor, you get brisket, meatball, ribeye, tripe, and tendon. We also had spicy mango habanero wings, and they were delicious. Deliciously spicy but nothing overpowering. Definitely recommend it as an appetizer. Will definitely be back for a late-night meal.

I ordered their most popular dish, the A1 set, but honestly, it didn't really live up to the hype for me. The broth tasted pretty underseasoned overall. From what I understood, you're supposed to mix all the toppings into the soup with the noodles, but even after doing that, I still felt like the flavor was lacking. Yes, they provide seasoning on the side, but personally, I wish the broth already had enough flavor on its own without needing to adjust it myself. Would I come back? Probably not. Nothing really stood out to me enough to return, and it felt more like a one-time experience. Overall, everything was just okay.

    Well, this sucks...and only partially because this place ended up closing just when I finally…read morefinished writing my review. While I never thought Capital Noodle Bar was the best noodle joint that you could find in/around Irvine, this place was always so tasty and convenient! Even though they weren't our favorite place, the times we stopped by Capital Noodle Bar was usually on our way to/from the airport for a quick bite. Not only was the restaurant large (snagging a table was never an issue), but our food (typically) came out relatively quick. In addition, their menu was stocked with so many delicious options. It felt a little more Malaysian than Chinese to me, but, regardless, their collection of appetizers, dim sum items, congee, noodle soups, stir fried noodles, entrees, fried rice, and rice plates was so enticing, we couldn't help but come back to try more and more! -- HOT SAUCE TRAY I know it's kind of weird to mention this, but I love their dish of hot sauces. In particular, their jalapenos and chili oil go well with everything we've had here. -- CRISPY TOFU This may not have looked quite like what I had expected, but this was pretty good! The tofu was pillowy soft and piping hot while the outside of it was surprisingly crispy, given how it's not really battered. -- WONTON NOODLE SOUP - Pork & Shrimp Wonton, Egg Noodles We got this as part of their weekday special ($12 all-day, dine-in only), so I'm not sure if the portion size is any different. Either way, this was great. The wonton skins were a little thin, but each piece was plump and juicy, the noodles had a nice bite, and the broth was solid. -- CHAR KWAY TEOW - Shrimp, Chinese Sausage, Bean Sprouts, Egg, and Large Rice Noodles I've been on a bit of a kick ordering this whenever I see it and this was one of the better ones. The noodles were cooked really well (very bouncy), the dish had a slight kick yet it wasn't overly salty/seasoned, and the dish wasn't overloaded with beansprouts. -- SPICY GARLIC CALAMARI Ehh...this wasn't "bad", but it was definitely underwhelming. Although these were seasoned well and had a nice crispiness, the calamari itself was chewy and reminded me of the generic type you get at most other Chinese restaurants. -- TRIO OF BEEF NOODLE SOUP - Sliced Tenderloin, Beef Ball, Beef Stew (Beef Shank, Tripe, Tendon, Carrot), and Egg Noodles I was super hopeful for this one, but it turned out to be just okay. For me, the ingredients tasted fine, but the portion seemed a little light on the beef shank and the broth needed a bit more body to it (felt a little thin). -- CRISPY HAINAN CHICKEN - Deep Fried Dark Meat, Pickled Vegetables, Ginger Rice, Soy Sauce, Ginger, and Chili Sauce Not very traditional, but no less delicious. Boneless Hainan Chicken is appealing enough, but fried, too? While I wish there had been more of it, each piece was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The ginger rice was quite tasty as well! -- WAGYU BEEF POSTICKERS Pretty standard, though, not necessarily in a bad way. Although there wasn't much of a browned bottom/crust on these, I love how big and plump these were and how the filling had a nice, beefy flavor to it. -- HONG KONG STYLE CHOW FUN WITH CHICKEN, Seasonal Greens, Carrot, Mushroom, Egg, Gravy Sauce, and Large Rice Noodles This was just okay for me. The dish had a good ratio of vegetables and meats to noodles, but the gravy didn't do much for me - there was so much of it, it felt more distracting than additive. -- MANGO GREEN TEA Surprisingly, this wasn't nearly as sweet as I feared it would be. The mango flavor in this wasn't super intense and went well with the green tea. Along with how satisfying most of Capital's dishes have been, the other thing that I liked about this place was the staff. Every time we came here, the workers were always friendly and really attentive, even despite how they usually only had one server working. That being said, it has never been all that busy either, which might help explain why their closure. As genuinely bummed as I am to learn that this place has closed, it should be said that it's not like Capital Noodle Bar is gone forever. If you missed your chance to try them, or just want to eat here again, they have another location in Costa Mesa that's still open and just a short drive away. And, as it turns out, it's even closer to the airport, so our pseudo-ritual of stopping off can continue to live on. Thanks for the memories, Irvine Capital Noodle Bar!
