We have visited this place a few times as we live in the village and we cannot fault it the food is always top notch. In the week they do a 5 course special and believe me you will not find better value anywhere else, And you wont leave hungry

Service was friendly but the food isn't nowhere near as good as the Ruby in Amblecote. Enjoyed the fillet steak in black pepper but wasn't keen on deep fried spare ribs.

So disappointed tonight! We called the Emerald at around 7:30 (admittedly a last minute decision on a Saturday) to ask if they had a table for 2 available. They said they had but it would be around 8:30-8:45. We said that was fine. They said, no problem, no name required, just turn up. Lovely! We arrive at 8:45 to be told by the waitress that there was no table and that ‘she found it hard to believe we had called because no one would say there was a table’ At this point I asked, are you accusing me of lying? Would you like to see my call list to which she said yes! I proved it and but she still wasn’t happy and said there was no table! Disgusting customer service- shame on the man who took the call for not owning up and saying there was a table when there wasn’t! I will not be returning!!

Don't know what happened here as the Emerald used to be really good. The last 12 months reviews weren't the best nor the food. Have had 2 takeaways in the last month and they were the best I've had in ages. Great news that they're back to their past excellent standard.

Have had many Takeaways from here but won't be going back again. Got 3 very skinny spare ribs which they charged £6 for, that's £2 per rib, just checked the menu and it should have been £5.50 for a full portion of spare ribs. I paid £6 for what was effectively an Appertizer. You get a proper portion at the other local Takeaways and you also don't get Overcharged.

So different to the last time we went. Dreadful. Apart from the mushroom curry the rest of it wasn't very nice at all. Starters were really greasy and not very hot. The main sweet and sour pork was more like crispy beef, hard and chewy with barely a drop of sauce. We asked for more sweet and sour sauce, they brought a small bowl of it, clearly straight out of the fridge, stone cold. Tiny amount of rice for 2. Puddings were awful. The final straw was the state of the toilet. You had to put your fingers into the top of the cistern to flush as the push button was broken. It was dirty and the sink filthy. We complained but it fell on deaf ears. Felt sorry for the lovely waiter who clearly was embarrassed. Never again.

We ate here last night as a family of four, having been previously. Nice setting and the food was generally very good (my wife’s sweet and sour was lacking pork and too much batter) but everything else was good. We ate from the set menu and were a little dismayed as we paid the same price per person as the couple on the next table but they got the same amount of starters between two as we did between four, except we had paid twice as much so that equated to one rib each, one piece of dim sum each etc while the other people had two each for the same price per person. Toilets need a bit of a tidy up

Like others on here, we have used this excellent restaurant for years so was very surprised at the negativity on here all of a sudden. We had already booked for last Friday, eight of us, so I was intrigued to see for myself. It was as good as ever, friendly, excellent service, superb food, all of it, place heaving with not an empty seat at 8.30 pm and that says a lot given there’s circa. 60 covers. Have to wonder if there are dark motives for these negative reviews, our experience was 10 out of 10 for everything. Look forward to returning.

I speak as I find .I have used the Emerald ever since it opened and is one of the few places I recommend without hesitation. .The service has always been excellent . The food first class. My only criticism are that one occasion in October they had no hot towels and the flush button in the toilet is taking a long time to repair but they are still retaining their high standards

I stopped going to my local Chinese takeaway (Evergreen in Kingswinford ) after 24 years as it changed hanbs and the food became horrible. So i ventured out to find a new one and tried the Emerald Chinese in Wall Heath, approx. 3 miles from my home , as it got 4 to 5 star ratings ,what a mistake! I ordered my food to collect and when i arrived the lady promptly handed it to me,so far so good, she said it was £8.40 ,so i handed her a twenty pound note ,she immediately put up her hands stating ,dont you have anything smaller,i replied ,its a twenyy pound note and you are a business and i am not a bank. She actually asked me to check my pockets to see if i had anything smaller,i said thats all the money i brought with me, she threw her arms in the air and went and got my change.I actually told her about my old Chinese takeaway and she informed me that i would really enjoy their food. I got home and as soon as o opened the containers i knee that this was not going to be good.The chicken smelt and tasted off and there were ingredients in this dish i did not recognise, and i am a good cook. Needless to say my quest for a new Chinese takeaway continues but take it from me do not eat at this or my old Chinese takeaway!

We have been going to this popular family restaurant for a few years and enjoy the food at every visit. Very pleasant welcome, good service, reasonably priced and good portions. Always a tasty evening and we leave in a happy and contented frame of mind. Best value is the banquet at £12 per head. Multiple choices with starters, mains and pudding. Licensed. Very extensive alternative menu should find something for everyone.

Travelling back to Lancashire from Poole we were ready for a meal and spotted the Emerald on the corner so turned around and went back: we were so pleased that we did because to our very pleasant surprise they offered the tea-time buffet referred to by others which looked like great value and saved the torture of having to decide what to order so in we went.We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in a plain but clean dining area where there were, clearly, a number of local diners who we assumed went regularly so a good sign. We briefly scanned the menu, chose our mains and ordered a bottle of wine; it was so easy.The food arrived and we were not disappointed because everything was very tasty indeed. The starter portions were meagre and I would have like more ribs and seaweed especially but considering that we had already been given yuk sung, (also known as meat wool, meat floss, pork floss, beef floss, abon, pork sung is a dried meat product with a light and fluffy texture similar to coarse cotton, originating from China) which was delicious and then followed that with our mains with fried rice and chips then (fresh) pineapple fitters we couldn't complain.Overall it was a super, unexpected experience which was excellent in terms of taste and value; even the wine wasn't too expensive.I don't know when we will nect be travelling this way but when we do it will be the Emerald for us.

Then later come over with paper ones it was so hot they gave a couple a fan. We asked for one no more to be had. At the end of the meal when we asked for the bill they come over and turned on the air conditioning unit above our heads.

The food is very good and the ambiance is bright and comfortable. The staff have difficulty understanding requests and will argue if they think you're not being clear. I ordered a large bottle of water and got a small glass of tap water, the wine wasn't very pleasant either, but the food did make up for it. It was very busy, but we did manage to finally attract the attention of one of the waiters and they were quick fetching drinks etc. It's definitely an experience, but we will definitely eat there again.

However the set menu food was nice, nothing special just nice. Food was hot and served promptly which is always good , staff helpful but didn't appear overly friendly or strangely not very happy - unlikely we would pop in here again soon as not local, but to be truthful am unsure if would go again if nearer anyway - it's just an average ok Chinese

Our orders were taken promptly and food arrived not long after piping hot, most of us had opted for the special buffet offer of 5 courses for £11.50.

This has been our regular Chinese restaurant and takeaway since it first opened ! First took my now 20 year old daughter as a baby and she sat in a high chair. Seen the Sunday buffet become the fixed menu and frequently used it for family celebrations meals and takeaways. Over the last few months we noticed errors in our takeaways and were constantly having to “pop back” to get the eeeor corrected. Delivery or compensation was never offered for the disruption to our meal while one of “popped back”. Our last meal there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday was horrendous- not busy yet we waited 90 minutes for our meal forvwhoch we got 10% discount but no explanation. Our next 3 takeaways were wrong and we gave up. Sad to say after 20 years we won’t go back

BOOKED a meal for Friday 5th October at 7.30pm. Had used the Emerald for takeaways but from previous sit in visits, I’ve always thought the service wasn’t good and the staff were rude but I hoped things may have changed. Arrived a few minutes early after looking forward to it and dressing up to go out. Had a less than friendly welcome when we gave our name and it was clear that they hadn’t yet got a table for us. We were told to move out the way and wait, which we did and then after 10 minutes of being ignored, I asked again when our table would be ready and we were told to sit down as it would be another 5 minutes. Three guys walked in with a booked table and were lead straight in and then the known rude main manager came over asking to take a drinks order, clearly not going to be complimentary as we were having to wait so I said we’d have them when we got our table. After a further wait, we could see that the table which the booking in book sits on, in front of the bar, in the noisy busy walk through for all the food and guests and next to the toilets was being made up and that was going to be ours. We were ushered to it and we said we wouldn’t sit there and left. An utterly ruined night. The service has always been bad and clearly still is and we will never use them or recommend again.

Last night he seemed even ruder than usual. Comes across as very angry and he speaks to the other members of staff terribly.

We happend to pass by a couple of days before and saw their special advertised in their window 5 courses for £11.50. The place is clean and tidy and was very busy. We were glad we had reserved a table ahead of going. Car parking isn't obvious and not on site from what we could immediately tell but is available close by in the side street and on that for some of the local shops.It had a nice atmosphere and we were warmly greeted at the door.The food was of exceptional quality. Very tasty and came quickly the first 2 courses were served together. All other courses were promptly served once we had finished the previous course. They were not too pushy with further drinks purchases after out initial order.There were many options on the main course and the Banana fritter was the very best I've had recently.Yes we are going back I'm it will become one of our new regular places we visit.To all of the staff well done and thanks!

We were advised to book in advance and best to be early in the evening on a Saturday as the restaurant gets very busy.I am glad we did.Arrived at 6.30 the place was already very busy with half the tables taken.Within the hour most tables were taken and the staff were re setting for more.The food arrived and did not disapoint.I would recommend the restaurant but advise, like we were, that you book and try for early evening as it does get busy and your waiting time will be increased

WE have over the years had some good nights in the Emerald, on the whole the food was probably the best Chinese available in the area , I'm not sure whats happened but when your male consists mainly of onions and I really mean mainly with 8 small pieces of been in what was masquerading as a Satay Beef sizzler , the noodles ordered with it was 80% onions / bean sprouts, The restaurant was busy to the point the staff just couldn't cope , the waitresses uniform looked like shed had worn it for a month , we were all very disapointed with both the meal and the service and will not be returning in a hurry

Went here with 10 members of the family, ranging from a 3 year old all the way through to 48. Some of us had the set menu for £11.50, what can I say, well worth every penny and more. I am a big eater and I walked out FULL. The other in the group had their meals and just the same, we all walked out full. Staff were attentive and very efficient. Definitely recommend this place for a nice night out as a couple or a family celebration.

Me and my boyfriend went on a Thursday night and had the 5 course menu for £11.50. I did glance at the menu which have a large listing of other starters and mains but have heard good things about the set menu So i decided to stick with that. Very busy in the restaurant even on a week night so I would suggest phoning up and booking a table before arrival. No wait for our table and the service was very quick with drinks and food. The food that came was lovely and really good value! I couldn't finish my main because I was so full off my starters. The waitress even let my boyfriend have chips aside with his main because he didn't like one of that starters. Very fast removing our empty plates once finished eating. First time visiting and won't be the last!!!! Lovely meal. Thank you. See you again soon!

We had the set meal (5 courses for £11.50) which was excellent value, there was a group of us too and they let us have a mixture of rice, chips and noodles as our sides that we all shared (you got a seemingly endless amount of starters but you don't get to choose what and then you choose a main and side per person). Service was fine, they clear stuff promptly but not when you're still eating like some people have suggested, attentive with extra drinks etc but a little intense when one of our group didn't want dessert (it's included so you must have it hahaha!) overall lovely experience!

My wife and I visited this restaurant following a recommendation but were very disappointed with the overall experience. Although the quality of the food was quite good and above average, the service and professionalism of the staff is much to be desired, we had to ask for table napkins and were eventually given cheapo paper ones. The place could do with redecorating or at least some TLC. There are better Chinese restaurants that are not too far away that will get our custom in the future.

We have tried all Chinese takeaway in the area and this is by far the best. Eating in is expensive and takeaway is a bit more than others but quality and quantity is worth every extra penny. Worth a visit!

Lovely meal here for Mother's Day. Great value and amazing food! Service was good. Only downside was we were left without cutlery and plates at times and a little wait for drinks at the start, which is understandable as it was busy. However will definitely be returning.

Booked for 8pm, when we arrived restaurant was very busy with large party tables, so having read reviews were expecting to wait. Was pleasantly surprised with service and food. Would definitely recommend it.

Been past here here a few times and often wondered what it was like. Decided to try for a night out with a group of 3 friends and we all had the set menu for £11.50, which we were really impressed with, quite a good choice of dishes with choice of chicken, beef or king prawns. I disagree with some of the reviews on here regarding food, decor and service, we couldn't fault any of it. The set menu was good value and we all had different dishes and tried a little of each other's and it was all lovely. The decor was clean and bright, no it didn't have that 'oriental feel' to it but it was fine. And we found the staff friendly and served us well. We went on a Thursday and it was quite busy so recommend booking. Will definitely return again. My only criticism is that they didn't have cider on draught....

The food is not outstanding, but definately not the worst. What you could argue is the worst, it's the service. Bad manners, bad English, no cutlery, few explanations given... If you're not a regular, you won't know what's going on and no one will help you with what's on the menu. I really think this place could improve a lot with friendly staff. They are all so angry and upset, you feel sorry you disturbed them...

Had the set menu £11.95 was very good value and it was nice to try different starters and main and it was all plentiful .The down fall was it did'nt feel like we was in a chinese restaurant with the plain decor and the entrance was weird you did'nt feel as if you was walking into a restaurant , I thought where is my husband taking me for my Birthday treat .But in all fairness the food was good.

Food delicious, service terrible! Staff had no manners what so ever! Clearing plates while you're still eating, unacceptable in my opinion!

On a Saturday evening we had to book and the place was basically full. Food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Only issue was the Yuk Sung starter which was a bit bland with not much pork and lots of chopped bamboo shoots. Staff pleasant, busy but attentive. Down side was decor which was basic. It felt like eating in a noisy echoing dining hall rather than a restaurant. If you bought some sound dampening ceiling tiles it would help

C'est à l'occasion d'une nuitée dans la région que nous avons découvert, un peu par hasard, ce restaurant cantonais et nous ne l'avons pas regretté!La nourriture y était tout simplement excellente et pourtant j'ai déjà fait de nombreux "chinois"Tout ça pour un prix plus que correcte.Je le recommande vivement.

We made an impromptu visit last night and were really impressed. The monkfish was particularly divine! The food was great quality and very good value for money. We paid £70 (two people) for 3 courses including soft drinks, a bottle of wine and coffee's. Service was great too. Thoroughly recommend.

Staff are friendly enough but the manager seems very dismissive food is mediocre. The surroundings could do with updating.

I've never been in this place before, I don't normally eat Chinese food! But our friends suggested we try the emerald, we had a great time! I was pleasantly surprised! Lovely food! Things I've never tried before! We will definitely be booking another table in the very near future! There's so much to try on the menu!! Got to try everything now! The staff are really nice and helpful, can't wait to go again!!

After using this Chinese many times and the food always being excellent- I ordered yesterday I collected my food and it was awful - salty / bland / definitely tasteless - I will be looking for a new take away - not sure if they have changed kitchen staff
