"After assisting a friend in claiming her gift from the Casino, we decided to indulge our taste buds at this renowned restaurant. The menu at Emerald Chinese Cuisine offers a variety of yummy dishes. We ordered Szechuan eggplant, salt pepper chicken, chicken fried rice, Mongolian beef, and Singaporean noodles. Each dish had its own special flavors, and the overall quality of the food was really good. The best dish of the night was the Szechuan eggplant. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, soft and covered in a tasty sauce. The spices and seasonings added a nice kick and made it the highlight of our meal. I highly recommend trying this dish when you visit Emerald Chinese Cuisine. The salt pepper chicken was also a hit. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning was just right, with a nice salty and slightly spicy taste. The dipping sauce that came with it was a great match and made us want more. The chicken fried rice was a classic choice that didn't disappoint. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly, and the chicken was flavorful and plentiful. It wasn't the most adventurous dish, but it was really tasty and satisfying. The Mongolian beef was another standout. The beef was tender and packed with flavor. It had a delicious sauce that complemented the meat perfectly. It was a dish that we couldn't get enough of. However, the Singaporean noodles didn't meet our expectations. They didn't have the authentic flavors we were hoping for and didn't compare to the other dishes. They lacked the rich and complex tastes that we expected. They weren't terrible, but they weren't as good as the rest. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with modern and inviting decorations that made our dining experience enjoyable. Our experience at Emerald Chinese Cuisine in Jamul Casino was mostly really good. The Szechuan eggplant, salt pepper chicken, chicken fried rice, and Mongolian beef were amazing dishes that stood out. The Singaporean noodles were a bit disappointing, but they didn't ruin our overall meal. If you're looking for tasty Chinese food with lots of options, I recommend giving Emerald Chinese Cuisine a try."

"This is a new family owned Italian restaurant nestled in the Jamul Shopping Village near Ace Hardware store with ample free parking spaces right in front. There's a large sign in the front window letting customers know that they do not have their liquor license and they are in the process of getting one. PROS: We came here for a Saturday night dinner. We were the only customers there. Our smiling server Michael was very cordial and made sure we had everything we needed. The customer service and staff was friendly and accommodating. Food: We ordered the Caprese salad which read grape tomatoes but when it arrived it was large red tomato slices (4 count) not a big deal. The chef's special: $29 Ribeye Steak (cooked medium) with mushroom Marsala, asparagus, and potatoes on a huge silver platter was a winner. The Veal Parmigiana with spaghetti smothered in red sauce was delicious. Nice presentation and appropriately portioned. Both meals came with your choice of house salad of romaine lettuce, black olives and chopped tomatoes with 1 of 3 types of dressing or the soup of the night which was minestrone. Con: Right when he brought us the bread basket and our waters to my astonishment, I witnessed a fly sighting. There's nothing more annoying and disturbing than having flies in a nice restaurant hovering over your food, plates, and glasses. When the house salads came out more flies arrived and then the main entrees, well it was hard to enjoy our food when we were literally swatting flies away from our plates, silverware, glasses, table, and faces. I don't even want to think if flies landed on our food as it was ready to be served to us. I'm so glad I didn't order the swordfish, it would have attracted even more flies. We really wanted to like this place but there is a serious fly issue. The doors were closed, AC was on, and the fans were blowing too. Hmm?!!! Unfortunately, it caused an uncomfortable dinner out."
