" Visited Emerald Garden last week with friends after hearing the buzz. The ambiance is on the darker side, which I really liked—it felt cozy! The food was quite good, though honestly, I would have preferred a bit more authenticity. The fried rice felt more like bar food than traditional Chinese fare. Overall, a fun experience but could improve on the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is definitely not for the faint-hearted! The atmosphere is classic dive bar, with a bit of chaos. The food was just okay, not much different from what you find at a cheap takeout place. The service was kind, but I think this spot is hitting more on the dive bar side rather than being a true restaurant. I'd recommend it for drinks but not so much the food sadly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Emerald Garden is always my go-to place when I'm craving Chinese food. The service is consistently outstanding, and the regulars create a nice atmosphere. I especially love their cumin chicken and hot and sour soup! My only qualm is the portion size, which varies from visit to visit. Overall, it's a great spot to grab dinner and drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Emerald Garden on Friday night, and it was quite the experience! The atmosphere felt like a classic bar with dim lights and a relaxed vibe. I ordered the schezwan crispy chicken, which was flavorful but not overly spicy. The service was warm and inviting, and the bartender even recommended a drink pairing. My friends enjoyed their meals as well, particularly the BBQ pork! We will definitely be back—great for group outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished a late-night meal at Emerald Garden, and I left feeling satisfied. Their sweet and sour prawns were crispy and flavorful! Plus, the atmosphere is low-key, perfect for a chill night. The bartender was friendly, and the drinks were affordable. While I felt the main dish could use more depth in flavor, overall, I truly enjoyed my time here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit I was a bit hesitant to visit this bar with a kitchen after hearing mixed reviews. However, I wanted to see for myself. The food isn’t bad—good flavors but nothing extraordinary. I ordered the egg foo young and was pleasantly surprised—it wasn’t greasy and tasted fresh. The staff was nice, ensuring we were taken care of. I appreciate the eclectic crowd; everyone seemed to enjoy their time here. I might come back for late-night food, but my expectations will remain balanced. " (*Curated Review*)

" Emerald Garden's ambiance is as delightful as the food! I couldn’t get over how fresh everything tasted—the sweet and sour prawns were a burst of flavor! The bartender made my drinks just right, and I felt taken care of throughout the evening. It’s pricier than most dive bars, but worth it for the quality. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun night with tasty bites! " (*Curated Review*)
