Food was fresh and very good definitely order in again! Would highly recommend this restaurant for takeout!

Overall it's acceptable, but not outstanding! This is our first try as we saw great reviews from Yelp, guess our standard a bit different. I'm not saying the food is bad or anything but humm just not up to my expectations! Case in point, Crabmeat Sharks Fin Soup, I don't even want to talk about the price ( which is overpriced ) for what they gave us, it is definitely fake shark's fin and the crab meat is too dry even inside the soup! The other two dishes where just normal, the stuff you get in a food court, anyways, I guess I'm asking to much but hey, we all have our standards or there will not be a Yelp! read more

Great family business with delicious food, each has distinct taste. Some restaurant have same taste for different food. Efficient service and great staff. read more

The ambiance is great--spacious and decorative. Everything in this restaurant makes it feel more authentic somehow. I mean, besides all of the Asian people around. On the left side of the restaurant spans a large mirror with pictures of their most popular dishes, and on the right side, you have numerous works of art you often see in the Chinese culture. Onto the food! I am terrible with food names since I am never the one who orders, so please refer to my pictures. The dish with the orange sauce and mayo was fish. There was a light crunch when you bit down, and the sauce was both tangy and sweet. The redder dish was beef with bell peppers, onions, and pineapple. There wasn't much of a difference between this dish and the fish, but I think the beef was tangier and possibly had ketchup in it. The green veggie plate was delicious with a very, very light taste of garlic. Service was good and attentive. They refilled our teapot promptly, and they were easy to wave down when we ran out of rice. The total was $43, including tax and tip. Is Chinese restaurant food in Canada always this expensive? P.S. It is open late until 12-1am (: read more

Our family enjoys coming here for birthdays, anniversaries and Sunday night family dinners. The food is always good and the owners have come to know us because we come here so frequently! This past Sunday we all piled into Emerald to celebrate my sister's birthday. We ordered the peking duck, fish maw soup, ginger beef, gai lan with beef and the house fried rice. The peking duck wraps are my favorite, there's always wraps left over once all the duck is gone (I guess it's better to have too many than not enough). Everything else we ordered comes out quick and freshly made. The fish maw soup is seasoned perfectly and doesn't lack seafood. Ginger beef is crisp and the sauce is great for drizzling on your rice and veggies. They always bring out a sweet soup dessert after you meal, this time it was a taro and yam tapioca. My boyfriend had 3 helpings so you can judge how good it is :) For all 6 of us to stuff ourselves with great food, it only cost us just under $100! read more

Food 5/5 food here is always phenomenal . We come here as a family for birthdays and family celebrations. Food portions are large always plenty of food for everyone . Service 5/5 being a Chinese restaurant most places don't have the best service but I've always had great service they are very attentive. Parking 5/5 the parking is huge it's in a very large strip mall. Environment 4/5 the place is ok. Could use a little bit more work on keeping everything clean and presentable. I would recommend this place if you are looking for great food at great prices . read more

Change of management or cook? Horrible flavourless and less than fresh sweet and sour prawns. Ginger beef tasted of old oil, dirty pan and flavourless sauce. Fried rice tasted old and flavourless, dry and made in a dirty pan that rendered an old burnt food/oily and ashy flavour. read more

Stumbled across this place since Golden Hill had no seating. I was impressed with the lemon chicken. The sauce was not the thick commercial sauce but definitely made from scratch. The peas were fresh and so were the spring rolls! Notice when we got back that they only had a 31/2 star. A little surprised! I'll give a comparison of what I thought between the two! I was delighted. read more

Usually when we order from here it's pretty good but the last couple of times it has been pretty bad. I had ordered the pork chops and wow we literally had one piece of lean meat while the rest was pure fat and bones hidden in the batter. This is one of our favorite restaurant but as of late it has been very disappointing. read more

My friends and I frequent this restaurant quite a bit, usually on the week nights as its probably less busy than it is on the weekends and when it's not busy that means better service, faster food, etc. I don't remember our waiters name but he always takes our order and he's super nice fella. As usual we started off with a two course which includes the sliced up Peking duck, cucumbers, onions and the wraps. There were four of us and basically you can have two pieces of duck in each wrap. The thing I hate most about some places that serve Peking duck is that the wraps are so oily. I understand there will be some oil but not when it's soaking in oil - makes you not want to eat it anymore but at Emerald Palace it's an edible amount. Next we got our duck soup which has bamboo, mushrooms, duck obviously and some other who-know-whats-it-called topped with a little red vinegar and pepper you got yourself a tasty soup! We also got an order of ...well I think it was the salt and pepper crab.. Mmm! Seriously, although I hate eating crab/lobster cause it's just messy and I'm a bit of a diva crab meat is so delicious. Finally we also ordered some green bean type dish which is a must because you always need a plate of vegetables just because they are good for you and taste pretty much awesome. Ended up being about $25 per person x 4 people. read more

Love this place... always fast food tastes good , my favorite is the lobster with cream sauce

I cannot rate the food at this resturant, because we were unable to eat there. All I can rate is the service. We walked in at 5pm with our family of 7 to celebrate my mother's birthday. Stood at the door for a few minutes waiting for someone to approach us and help us be seated. A few people stared at us for a while. No one arrived, so we decided it must be a seat yourself sort of place, found a table that was empty and sat. As soon as we did the man who had been staring at us (but not helping us!) earlier practically ran over to the table asking if we would be done by 6:30 because that table was reserved (there was no sign on the table stating this) I indicated that as it was 5pm, we would if we could order soon. I also offered that we could sit at a different table. He said they were all reserved at 6:30. I told him it should be fine. I'm fairly certain this man is the owner and he was just REALLY rude, he tone was very inconsiderate and i felt very unwelcome. At one point his was shouting across the room that we had to go by 6:30 and I had to ask "Can we eat FIRST?" When he left, a younger man ran over and gave us menus and told us again, order right away, eat fast, you have to be gone by 6:30 and then rushed away again. So we left. They VERY obviously did NOT want our business, and now they will never have it. If your entire resturant is reserved, and you don't want people eating there.. put a sign on the door, or tell people when they walk in, but don't be rude about it! read more

Today I tried to call for delivery becoz my roommate and I decided for an hour what to order than the lady answered and I asked for delivery order but the lady told me the restaurant is having a HUGE big party so the kitchen was unable to take any delivery or take-out order. Sorry for any inconvenience. Seriously this is my first time I ever heard of a restaurant that they can't do delivery or take-out WoW.. They think doing a Huge party will make enough profit or business for a day. I will never call or eat at this place again. They just lost a valuable customer which been we order a lot for long time. read more

Hey I like this place. The food is good and hey that's the whole point. I think that the delivery times are pretty good as well. I only give it 4 stars because I think the ginger beef could use some work but the rest is rad. read more

I'm Chinese and Peking duck is my thing, and let me tell you..There Peking duck isn't the best and the food there also isn't the best

This place has the best authentic Chinese food in the NE Calgary Their food makes my mouth water mmmm I love the congee, fish, shrimp, fried rice & the Chinese veggies are delish! I have cravings for this food constantly lol read more

This place is a fcking mess. The place is super gross cause the tables and chairs were greasy and sticky. Very cramped tables and chairs. Could barely understand the waiter. Food was 2/10. And when I paid I didn't give a tip for them considering I don't like it and it was only me and my brother and not a group. The owner then rudely asked "why no tip?" In a very rude attitude. And I told him the service was not good cause. They didn't clean the tables very well. Only used water and an old ragged oiled up cloth. Like wtf clean your shit first then you will get a tip. And remember that's the owner rudely saying that. MOST IMPORTANTLY, you never ask for tip. That's like asking for no tip ever lol. It's rude and obnoxious. Tip is based off of service not off of food taste or mandatory. It's only mandatory when u have a group. This place needs to shut down. If you're looking to go to get some good Chinese food with good service it will NOT be this shitty place. read more

Atmosphere is unwelcoming, service unfriendly and the food is unremarkable. Do yourself a favour and go to Ginger Beef across the street.

the very best salt and pepper squid in the city , food tastes lighter than most places , you will not be disappointed if you try this gem out read more
