Reviews for Kapitan in Chicago, IL
We drive by this restaurant all the time not realizing it was even a restaurant as the location has historically been a bar. A... neighbor recommended it and we're usually skeptical to try new places, but this did not disappoint! We ordered the Lobak (friedpork) to start and that was very flavorful. We ordered 3 entrees to share between two of us for variety - the Nyonya Curry LaksaLemak, Mee Goreng, and the Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice. It was all good, but the SoftShell Crab Fried Rice stood out the most forus. It was not your typical salty soy sauce fried rice. In addition to the soft shell crab, there was crab meat mixed into thefried rice. Would definitely recommend this place. We'll be back with friends to try more of the menu. Read more
The food is good. I recommend the Nasi Lemuk (with your own preference of meat) along with fish balls. I selected shrimp with... the Nasi Lemuk. Nasi means rice in South East Asia. You can get a side of Sambal (green chili) though I must warn that it israther spicy. John and Mercy provided good service to their guests. Read more
We were here for dinner. Food was very decent. We liked the Nasi Lemak- Kapilan Chicken. Rojak merah was ok. Nyonya curry... seafood - gravy was awesome. We did not get much of fish and shrimp being with shell was little bit tough on a curry( esp it ispricy) Drinks were fine esp roof of the loom. Drinks were custom made and little bit pricy Lemon grass ginger martini Read more
Kapitan has amazing Malaysian food! I was looking for somewhere that served Kway Teow so I’m really glad to have found... Kapitan. The Laksa, dessert and cocktails were all delicious too. The first time I came to Kapitan, I went by myself and had awonderful conversation with my server. She let me know about a Lion Dance event, so I came back with a few friends and we allenjoyed the food and entertainment. Read more
Great authentic Malaysian food! I loved every dish we ordered and the service was great too. The Kapitan chicken and Beef... rendang Are absolutely delicious. Read more
We came in for early dinner on Tuesday. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The standout dishes for us were the Murtabak... and the Beef Rendang and tomato rice of the combo plate. Room for improvement on some dishes as the chili shrimp arrived coldand the hainanese chicken rice balls were difficult to eat. Read more
O'zien (fry oysters) and their other little side dishes I've had there are probably the best Malaysian food I've had anywhere in... the country. Either you are craving for some Malay food or trying something new, this IS the place to try. Must try the MamyeePork Belly! Read more
