Despite its name, Emerald Seafood is more commonly known as a dim sum destination in San Diego. That's not to say that the fish dishes on the menu are not worthy---they are. We especially like the lobster in ginger sauce and the pan-fried…

Emerald is sought out by those who prefer elaborate, carefully prepared, and sometimes costly seafood dishes. Even when the restaurant is full to capacity with 300 diners, the noise level is moderate and conversation flows easily between bites of the best Chinese cuisine in the area. Market-priced—and that can be high—lobsters, clams, and fish reside in tanks until the moment of cooking. Simple...

Upscale Chinese restaurant specializes in authentic dim sum and seafood.

In Short
Serving San Diego since 1992, this popular Chinese eatery got an update in 1992 that transformed it from stuffy to casually elegant. The place is jammed with dim sum lovers on...

Delicious food, a bit on the pricey side for Chinese, but the portions are large and everything is fresh.

I have eaten here about 30 times in the last 10 years and have always made it a point to at least once every visit. Always for brunch except once for dinner. This visit was around 1:00 in the afternoon on a Saturday. I felt that Asians were given preferential seating and had to search out a section manager to...

We did not care about the...

The parking is really small here but other than that, I love it! The food is usually really consistent. They have great service and their dim sum is so yummy. We come here at 11AM right when it opens because we just can't wait to eat some dim sum sometimes. My cousin had her wedding reception here about 10 years ago and the food was great for dinner too! I only gave four stars because of the...

Emerald holds pride of place among fanciers of elaborate, carefully prepared, and sometimes costly seafood dishes.
