Emmy's Restaurant

I can’t believe this place actually exists in SF. The absolute worst Chinese food ive ever had. So bad I felt like I would get sick if I kept eating it. It was just a bunch of soggy barely cooked and not seasoned or sauced at all chicken and vegetables . I threw out 50$ worth of food and that’s not something I would do easily..

Got delivery over Christmas break 2020. The pork buns were a good size and perfect comfort food. The chicken chow main they threw in gratis could have used some veggies, but the noodles were solid and too greasy. I would order from them again.

Avoid!! The foods here is atrocious!! Beef short rib were under done tried one and it got caught in my throat. Salted Pepper chicken wings were just bad chicken wings with a few jalapeno slices thrown on top. Beef chow fun was the worst though! The noodles represented some kind of stodgy mush. Grub-hub contacted the restaurant who refused a refund. I believe the reviews on here to be false. If you in between the 5* reviews you get the real picture. Grub hub dealt with it in the end. If you want good Chinese try Eric's in Noe Valley, the standard to which all Chinese should be measured.

It really hurts to finally write this review. My family and I have been going to Emmy’s while they were still on Monterey Blvd when I was still a kid over 20 years ago! However, Emmy’s has been declining specially the last three years. The prices keep going up but the portions are smaller and the flavors are more bland perhaps to cater to the non-Asian customers. I would order wor wonton soup, and they didn’t use to have bochoy in them so I was getting charged $1 extra to add them. That was fine except they never put enough broth. I was lucky to get even two tablespoons of broth! I had to ask for more broth each time! Finally, bochoy just became a staple of the wor wonton soup. Today, the woman on the phone said she would add broth but she didn’t say she would charge me $3.50 for a tiny amount of broth that really should’ve been part of the SOUP I ordered. In other Asian restaurants, they put the soups in two containers to make sure there are plenty of broth and other ingredients. I was also never charged by Emmy’s before for extra broth! I used to order oysters with ginger & green onion but I stopped when they only put 3 oysters last time. Two prior orders only had 4-5 oysters. When I first ordered the dish there were always 6+. The deep fried flounder that we used to order almost all the time was ordered less often the last six months. The price kept getting higher but the fish kept getting smaller. The very last time I ordered, I paid for two hot and sour soups but they only delivered one. Today was the final straw. The woman was talking in Chinese to others while she was on the phone with me. She also did not say I was getting charged for the extra broth. When the driver called to clarify the price, she said she charged me $3.50 for the extra broth which I used to get for free. My calculations also indicated, she actually charged me $5. Then, I actually had to add salt and pepper just so I could taste something! Bland, bland, bland! Ma po tofu is supposed to be spicy! Description even indicated spicy. It was blander than bland. My mom who thinks a little bit of pepper is spicy thinks this is bland! I had to add pepper and hot sauce! The driver is an older gentleman who actually understands customer service when clearly his female boss does not. In the last few years, I would order by calling them directly or used platforms like Eat24, Grub Hub, and Amazon when they have promotions. 20+ years of Emmy’s but higher prices, less portions, overcharges, no broth soups, bland foods, and management failures, I will have to order elsewhere. I’ve had better Chinese food in recent years but loyalty and the deep fried flounder were the only reasons I still ordered there. Loyalty finally ends today.
