A must-try for first-time guests and Calgary regulars alike.
Tender squid in a light, crispy batter, wok-tossed with fragrant salt, white pepper, garlic and scallions. A Cantonese appetizer consistently praised by Calgary diners as a must-order at Emerald Garden.
Crisp, savoury and fragrant — perfect to share at the start of any meal.
Handmade dumplings with a juicy seasoned pork filling, pan-fried to a golden, crispy base while the tops stay tender and steamed. Generously portioned and served with our house dumpling sauce.
