Emerald Chinese Cuisine

A long-established Cantonese dim sum restaurant with a spacious venue and private rooms, making it quite suitable for family gatherings or event dinners. I’ve been here many times before, but this was my first visit since the renovation. We were seated at a large table in a private room, which offered better privacy. The table was very large, with four tablecloths laid on it. The lazy Susan in the middle was extremely heavy and difficult to turn, making it very inconvenient to serve dishes. Cantonese roasted meats are supposed to be a classic feature of Cantonese cuisine, but they weren’t good—the flavor was rather lacking. The other dishes were just average; the best was the fried rice. Dessert is served after the meal. The cost was around $50 per person. Compared to my visit to 豪记 last w

Emerald Restaurant, located in the Convoy area at the heart of San Diego’s Pan-Asian district, offers exquisite and authentic Cantonese cuisine. The décor is tastefully appointed, featuring elegant Chinese paintings and calligraphy. The restaurant boasts clean, beautiful carpeting and ample space between tables, ensuring patrons’ privacy. This pleasant setting—paired with delicious Cantonese fare—makes Emerald ideal for a casual lunch or a relaxing evening out with friends and family. Last but not least, the family set menu pricing is exceptionally reasonable compared to other Chinese restaurants in the Convoy district. I must also commend their staff, who are professionally trained and provide swift, attentive service.

Did not have a good experience for 4 adults $237.88. Felt like we were tricked. Lacked transparency. We ordered their special that was posted on the table for ginger scallion lobster $88. The dish was served with cantonese won ton noodles under the lobster. Which is odd, usually it's served with e-mien. We let them know, it's not what we ordered. The lobster was missing the most important parts. It did not have two claws. Small lobster. We ordered 4 bowls of rice but on the order sheet the server put 3. However, we were charged for 6 small bowls of white rice for $18. We also don't know what the "4 open box" charge is for.
