My husband and I love dim sum and have tried several restaurants in Las Vegas and California, as well as in Vancouver. Of all of the places we have tried, Emerald takes the prize! There will be a wait on Sunday for lunch, but it is well worth it! This Dim Sum restaurant has the biggest selection that we have... more

One of the original places to get dim sum in the area. Often hard to understand exactly what your eating not because of the language barrier more some server's attitudes. If you know your way around the place it can be a fine experience. more

This party of 4 Mandarin-speaking adults and 3 kids found this restaurant to be mediocre, 3 of 5 stars. The food style was a mixture of different provinces and not too Americanized. But the five spice squid calamari legs were rubbery and the chow mein noodles were greasy and undercooked (closer to Cantonese style). The Szechuan cod fillet was very... more

There were four of us and we ordered the pu-pu platter ($18.00) and was given a flaming pot over which to cook our own pork (8 pieces), had 2 spring rolls, 2 pieces of breaded shrimp and 4... more
