Reasonable food, okay service. The spring rolls were a bit oily and the dim sims smaller than expected. Honey chicken well made and the fried rice tasty. Clean setting.

New to Woonona first time visitors to the place. We ordered king prawn curry and chicken curry with fried rice. Although extremely busy the 2 lads on the front counter were exceptional. Really professional and provided a great service even though they were flat out!!!

Nice, clean establishment. Came on a weekday for lunch. I ordered black bean beef with fried rice lunch special. Please see pic below of beef and black bean. I haven't eaten any in the pic, spoon was just included to provide relative sizing. I like that my dish had carrots, green leafy Asian vegie, carrot, celery not just onion. The proprietors are clearly trying to deliver nutritionally balanced food. YMMV but I'd say it's easily 2 portions. My companion ordered duck and crab. This was not a lunch special. There wasn't a lot of description so we weren't sure what to expect. It came in a large portion and the duck was battered & deep fried with crab sauce over. While it's not really what he was expecting it was tasty and filling. Fried rice that came with my lunch special was small with not a lot in it though it did have that tasty wok char flavour. Since I was having it with the black bean beef flavour was not a problem. His fried rice (full dish, as duck & crab does not come with rice) looked very attractive with ham, small prawns, diced veg. Solid attempt, with great value lunch specials

I haven't had Chinese in a long time. Emerald was a pleasant surprise. The food was great and the girls were lovely. Atmosphere was a bit flat, but it was a Tuesday night and there were only about 10 people in there. Overall I will be going back.
