Emerald Chinese Restaurant

It's been a while since coming here, but I was in the area and was craving dim sum for lunch. COVID destroyed the dim sum cart service and is sadly missed, but all the same options were available. Service was prompt and accurate! The quality and speed were on point! Admittedly, I did not look closely at my bill to see if gratuity was already added as I included a tip in my total. As always, I would definitely return for quality!

Had a random Monday off and wanted to treat myself to some Dim Sum.nnWe had plenty of seating options because of the day we went. We had tea to sip on while the carts rolled around the restaurant.nnService was great! The server told us what everything was and we could say 'yes' or 'no thanks' with the options presented and there was no issue.nnWe ate all the traditional Dim Sum offerings and everything was delicious! Would definitely recommend.nnEmerald is one of 2 main Dim Sum places in Mississauga and their food and service is excellent.

Used to be a good place for tasty affordable dim sum. However, all that has changed from my recent experience in September 2024. Everything including food, service and atmosphere dropped in quality, while prices have increased. Not worth it. The servers and staff were rude an unapologetic when there were mistakes and errors during our visit. They stamped the incorrect size of the item which determines the cost. You can see pen scribbles scratching off the errors. They also made errors on the bill charging each child a fee for tea in which they did not drink. Good thing I reviwed it before paying. Please note 12% gratuity is automatically applied to the bill. There was plastic in my crab claw dish. No apologies or concern when I notified them of it. Unfortunately I do not plan to return to thia place. There are better options.

Honestly reading the reviews I was sceptical and people were right. We came here specifically to try the Lunch Dim Sum as they still had the carts that went around and honestly it was a big mistake. First off the place is WAY too expensive for the quality of food they offer. We spent almost $400 for a group of 6 for Dim Sum which is ridiculous and a complete rip off. All the food on the carts was cold and below average at best. We even ordered a few made to order dishes and were completely disappointed. I’ve been to many Chinese Style Restaurants in the city and this was by far the worst one I’ve been too yet. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but for the quality of food we got versus what we paid made absolutely no sense at all. Everything was pretty heavily fried and even worse in what seemed very old oil. They automatically add a tip so be very careful but I would totally stay away from this place as it’s a complete rip off. Don’t be fooled by my pics as everything tasted way worse that it looks especially with everything being cold just sitting on the carts. Do yourself a favour and find another restaurant.

A very old fashioned HK style Yum Cha restaurant.nPrice is a bit overpriced but trolly delivery is very great, like 90's HK!
