About Our Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings

Our Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings (guo tie / 鍋貼) are folded by hand each day in our kitchen. The filling — ground pork, napa cabbage, ginger, scallion, soy, and sesame oil — is wrapped in our house-pulled wheat dough, then cooked using the traditional sear-and-steam method that gives potstickers their signature contrast: shatter-crisp bottoms, tender pleated tops, and a gush of savoury juice with the first bite.

Generously portioned and served with black vinegar, ginger, and chili oil for dipping, our dumplings are a long-standing customer favourite at our 16 Ave NW restaurant. Available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery throughout NW Calgary including Capitol Hill, Hounsfield Heights, and Briar Hill.

"We have eaten at Emerald Garden for over 20 years and it is still our favourite. The staff are efficient and friendly and the food is always superb. Individual dishes are generous and I have not found a dish here that I haven't liked."
