About Emerald Garden

Emerald Garden is a hidden gem serving authentic Chinese cuisine. The food is delicious and not overly sweet, with generous portion sizes at a great value. Customers praise the restaurant for their great tasting food, including the best spring rolls and ginger beef in Calgary. The ginger beef is noted for being excellent and not chewy, while the Eight Treasure Duck, which must be ordered two days in advance, is a must-try, stuffed with sticky rice, salted egg yolk, scallops, lotus seeds, mushrooms, chestnuts, and sausage. The beef chow mein is mentioned as extremely mediocre, but the beef and Chinese broccoli dish has well-cooked broccoli.

While the service is generally excellent, some customers have reported an odd experience when orders are taken without suggestions for rice or noodles. However, the attentive staff manage busy times efficiently. Parking can be challenging, but the restaurant makes up for it with quality dishes and friendly service. It's a popular spot for takeout and online ordering, which often includes a free dish of choice with a minimum spend. The interior is clean and neat, and the ingredients clearly stand out in every bite.
