If this isnt the best Chinese restaurant in the area I dont know what is. The service and food was excellent. Atmosphere was great also. Make a booking as they seem very busy

I think it would be difficult for a Chinese restaurant like this to exist in Newcastle without the support of somewhere like Wests? Anyway the Deluxe fried rice is a meal in itself. Any of the house speciaties are good but one of my favourite dishes they seem to have taken off the menu? I think it was called spring chicken, it was a szechwan dish and actually had a note on the menu saying that it was very different 😂. I really like Asian food and have had a lot of different dishes but never anything like it. It's not hot like chilli but is very spicy and has Szechuan pepper oil in it which gives you an experience like nothing else. 👍

Visited with my duaghter and booked a table for 2. Took approx. 15 minutes to get the entree out but then another 45 minutes to get the main meal out by which time I was ready to walk out. Other people that arrived after us had finished their main meal and leaving. Staff were focused on a birghday party table only. Restaurant was only half full. Kwoy teow beef abd chicken were deep fired in oil not stir fried and were rubbery. Will not visit again and I'm a perpetual member. Please pi k up your act. 01 April 22.

I love coming here for dinner. The food has always been exceptional. I was a little nervous about coming here with kids but the wait staff were exceptional and made a point of ensuring the kids were occupied and their meals came about head off the others. Im yet to have a bad meal!

The wait staff were amazing. Fresh ingredients, delicious sauces. The chefs did a fabulous job with the duck pancakes and Singapore crab. Absolutely gem of a restaurant for a night out! Well done!

Absolutely love this restaurant! The only issue is the huge amount of food 😂 I’d love to see smaller portions offered as an option. The food tastes so amazing that it’s disappointing when you are too full to finish it and the staff are great! The ambience is also very mature and pleasant.

We enjoyed a nice dinner from the vegan menu (ask for it). The food was fresh, “clean” (not too oily) and tasty. We’ll be back for more.

I drove from Canberra to visit friends and they recommended here for dinner. Food was absolutely divine, and the service provided by Ellen and Lilly was superb and they made the night even better. Will be returning again.

Great experience, As always the staff are great, Food is superb and fresh. Deluxe fried rice was amazing. Kids loved it!

Great place, we were well looked after, they even made sure my Grandson was OK and if he needed anything.

This is not the first time we have been to Emerald Gardens. The presentation by staff, the environment first class. I suppose it depends on the Chef working at the time, But I thought that the food was not quiet there this time compared with previous visits but still tasted great and we will be back.

Excellent service, food fantastic as always. Food comes out nice a quick. You can taste how fresh the food is.

What a lovely place to dine. We’ve been here twice before and it never ceases to please. Great food, good service and reasonable prices.

Great place. Went there wirh colleagues last nigjht for the banquet. Food excellent, price reasonable and waitress / service outstanding. Looking forward to going back already.

We always enjoy our food at emerald gardens, we want to try other dishes but always order our favorites combination chow mein and salt and pepper squid. Friendly service.

Just normal.. The king do smell not good ..I dun like that

A very good experience with my family. Ambience was very good, decor was calm and cozy, service was excellent, food was really good. Nice choice of cutlery for serving and on table. I ordered Malaysian food and must say this is the closest to Malaysian cuisine that I have tasted so far in Australia. Not many Malaysian dishes though. Every dish was unique with flavor and texture and presentation. Portions very large and sufficient. All in my family enjoyed it. The price was another stunner. For the feel, quality of food, experience, and service it was definitely low.. Have paid much more for lousy food and quality elsewhere. Waiting to go again and try the other dishes. Surely one of my favourites in Newcastle. Surprised to know about this restaurant from my daughter because they went on a school business visit. They need more advertisement for people to enjoy the good food.

Excellent food and service as always. We have favourite dishes and they are always guaranteed to have the same great flavour and freshness whether we dine early or late. Probably our favourite place to enjoy a lovely meal.

We were first timers last night for Emerald Gardens. We took along a couple of friends from the UK, who are here holidaying here in AUS as we heard such amazing reviews. The food we could not fault, portion sizes were amazing we even took some home and such flavour. YUM! Customer service on the other hand is why I have given 3 stars, we hand to ask to order our food. Then when our starters came out we were asked if we wanted to order drink and they’ll come back to take the order. Someone else ended up coming. No table water, was offered. We then finished and waited for a staff member to clear our plates and bring the bill but never happened we had to ask again and for some take away containers. We ordered - - satay skewers - prawn toast - crispy duck pancakes - king do - combination laksa - combination chow mein - Koren spicy chicken (special menu) - fried rice So delicious !

Very cosy atmosphere and our waiter was lovely. The Sesame Prawn Toast as appetiser was the best I've had for some time. For our mains my partner had the Honey and Pepper Beef and I had the Salt & Pepper Squid. My meal came out first and was delicious however my partners meal arrived 20 minutes after and while the flavour was on point, the beef was too chewy to eat to the point we left and had to buy my partner a meal elsewhere. I had been looking forward to having the Deep Fried Ice cream but didn't get there as the wait time combined with my partners meal not being edible put me off. First and last time for eating at this establishment.

Great atmosphere and quiet good food but I found the staffs average. They didn't served me a water in a fine dinning resturant, until I choked and asked for it. I looked around to check thinking they must have forgotten but no one had a water in their table. Anyways moving to the menu we found very less Gluten Free options where I feel they could have made more dishes Gluten Free. Fortune cookies were a nice touch and fun at last. Will recommend for one time experience.

Had a great time here last Friday, insanely impressed with the food.

Fantastic restaurant, we go there often as the good is reasonably priced, great range, large dishes and always tastes great. The staff there are excellent and go to out of their way to make sure you are enjoying yourself and do everything they can to assist. We even brought our own cake there for a birthday and they couldn't be happier to serve it and make the evening special. I highly recommend the restaurant, the Mongolian Beef, honey chicken, satay chicken and special fried rice are my top picks! Great place for the whole family! We went there tonight with an 18 month old and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating to children, yes they have high chairs.

Best chinese I've ever had! Friendly staff and great atmosphere 👌 Generous serving sizes as well!

Absolutely delicious!!!! Definitely recommend and they have a gluten free menu too

The entrees were bland (short soup, chicken and corn soup , mixed entree) and did not do any justice to the cuisine. Disappointed that the flavours just didnt come through in the dishes. For our main we had sizzling surf and turf with special fried rice. The flavours were better and saved the meal. No chilli or soy sauce were offered as a side and would have been great for the whole dining experience.. Staff and service was great
