| - My girlfriend and I went for dinner at Emerald Chinese after a Thursday night workout.
We arrived around 7:30pm and were seated after a short wait. After browsing the menu and a brief discussion with our waiter, we ordered seafood noodles and a 3 item mix meat plate (BBQ pork, chicken, and duck)
The food came soon thereafter and it was hot and delicious. There was large portions and lots of seafood in the seafood noodles and the mix meat plate came with good cuts of meat and the correct sauces.
After the meal, we received fortune cookies for dessert.
Food
The food was good quality. Ingredients tasted fresh and dishes tasted well made. Food is above average but nothing stood out even though I was quite hungry.
Price
Price is high in comparative to other Chinese cuisine, and comparable to large western restaurant chains.
Service:
The service is average to slightly below average. A common malaise of chinese restaurants is poor service where the waiter/waitresses are overworked, impatient, unattentive. Emerald Chinese is no exception. The waiting staff at the restaurant appear rushed and impatient. All our services needs were met, but the staff was rushed and grumpy..
Decor
Emerald has tasteful decorations, comfortable chairs and nice tablecloths. There is sufficient room to navigate between tables.
Overall, we had a good meal with large portions, received average service and paid slightly more than we had hoped for our meal.
3.1 / 5.0
