Kapitan

Kapitan served us an excellent meal. Everything was tasty, and the service was top-notch. Our Indonesian girls approved the dishes they chose, by the way. We all had fun for sure. Selamat makan!

Definitely on the pricey side in my opinion, but the food, service, and interior were great! It was my first time having Malaysian food, and I ordered nasi lemak Kapitan chicken and an iced Malaysian tea. The tea was delicious and reminded me of a lighter, more aromatic Indian masala chai. The main dish was just right, the rice was unexpectedly good with a nice texture and the chicken was tender and juicy. I will definitely come back!

Went here for a late dinner after our Ravinia opening concert. The soup was fresh and not oily. But I wish the mushroom could be cut into smaller pieces. The Nyonya seafood clay pot was saucy and rich. They were generous on prawns. The coconut flavor was rich but not too heavy or greasy. Chicken was very tender and flavorful. There was FIFA World Cup game playing live. Love it!

Tried Kapitan and now I’m questioning why I haven’t been eating Malaysian food my whole life! Like when is the next flight out? The flavors were completely new to me and somehow both comforting and exciting. Chicago, you need to put this one on your list, and your family friendly list too. The lamb dish was the winner for me, and my husband was obsessed with the chicken mango. The staff was so kind, and the kid’s area was basically the secret ingredient because we got to actually enjoy our meal while our son had his own adventure and then fell asleep.

My friends and I visited here for some good food and good times, and it ended up being just that. The menu contains many traditional Malaysian and Singaporean food items, ranging from nasi lemak to sambal eggplant to chicken satay, and pretty much everything tasted great with good flavor. The sambal flavor defined the eggplant dish and since you can't really go wrong with sambal, the dish was just great. The chicken satay had good sauce that helped enhance its flavor. The nasi goreng was seasoned very well, with all the seasonings infused into the rice. The rendang beef had very tender beef in terms of texture, and the curry lemongrass sauce evidently defined the flavor, making it an overall very enjoyable experience. Finally, the lamb shank that came with the nasi lemak was also very tender because it was slow-cooked, and together with the nasi lemak, the combination worked well. If there was one thing I wanted to see improvement on, then I would've loved it if the roti pratha included even more roti, simply because it'd be common pratice to eat it in relatively larger quantities. Otherwise, everything was just great. Even if the menu was huge, I couldn't see a possibility of ch
