Authentic flavour, timeless tradition - experience one of Newcastle’s oldest Chinese restaurants
Tucked behind its ornate brass gates on Level 1, Wests New Lambton, Emerald Gardens has been delighting locals and visitors alike with authentic oriental flavours since 1985.
More than just a dinner spot, it’s a place where families and friends return time and time again to gather around banquet tables to share good food, laughter, and conversation.
Step inside and the mood shifts with soft lighting, the hum of conversation, and the irresistible aroma of garlic and ginger sizzling from the kitchen. Elegant interiors, softened by oriental décor, create a stylish dining atmosphere that’s welcoming for groups of all sizes.
Thoughtfully curated, the menu caters to every preference, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options ensuring no one misses out on the flavours they love.
The menu celebrates traditional Chinese and Cantonese flavours with modern twists and Southeast Asian influences. Indulge in the Cantonese Surf & Turf — tender beef, succulent prawns, and the irresistible kick of ginger and garlic — and the Phad Prik King Pork Belly, featuring lemongrass, Thai red curry, and kaffir lime.
Meals are designed for sharing, with large round tables and lazy Susans perfect for banquets of up to 24 guests. For a more intimate experience, private dining rooms accommodate 6–8 guests and are ideal for family dinners or special celebrations.
