Toyo from beginning to end was lovely. Steve our waiter was fantastic, extremely knowledgable about every single element of the dish and he was a delight! The food was beautifully presented and each course had a unique Filipino touch to it which made this place something special for us. The decor is simple but effective and the sharing tables are a great idea - can't fault it! If you're in Manila, stop by.
My new favorite place.... gave my palate the much needed break from all the traditional food I've been eating this Christmas season....
Simple food turned into fun, exquisite gourmet... awesome food experience better than the Michelin restaurants I've been to.

Comfort food galore! Don’t miss their Cua pao, patatim and garlic chicken. 😋
Emer’s the only reason you will come to this shady mall. Order for curbside pick-up.
Emer's offers good food at a very affordable price and generous serving.
Their cua pao is really good 👍. We also had their crispy chicken, it was crunchy and tender (did not expect that👍).
But nothing special with other dish that we ordered.
Affordable food, I love the calamansi juice it is authentic and refreshing along with the liquid sugar to taste- the serving of the chicken is small yet tasty and I super love the vegetables with quail eggs it is always a delight
Emer's is one of the oldest restaurant in Makati Square, It's been there since I was a kid. It's a nice place to eat if you want an affordable old authentic Chinese cooking in Makati. They have the best Cua Pao, I will also recommend their Lomi and Miki Bihon. I will be back to try their other foods.
I might be a bit biased in this review; this restaurant is my dad's favorite restaurant since it opened a long time ago. They have no other branches and the regulars are in their 50s...
The food is affordable but they also serve a little less than the regular 'sharing' of chinese restaurants. A restaurant strategy in which I believe is very smart.
I recommend their cua pao, taste authentic.
Their pata tim is very tender and a must order as well, a good match with their yang chow.
The pansit canton is ok for me but I think it is not for everyone.
Emer's is right beside the iconic Aida's in Makati Cinema Square and it's a good spot for affordable Chinese cuisine. While the dishes were well-prepared, none of it leaves a lasting impression.

Emer's will survive no matter what. It is perhaps one of the best reasons why Makati Cinema Square still exists. This is the place for Chinese comfort food. The Hot Sour soup, Cua Pao, and Lomi are some of the items you must try. This place, however, is not for the young and pretentious. Don't bother with the ambience -- it's not on the menu. The food is so good that my appetite survived despite the smell of freshly sprayed insecticide. Hmmm. They're cool like that.
Their Pata Tim is to die for. The place is not too much to look at, a typical Chinese restaurant with no frills but the food is superb. They don't accept credit card. Lomi and Cua Pao are the best too.
Too bad I only knew of emers since 4 years ago. Emers is an institution at makati cinema square , a tradition to the 50s above.it gets full every single day, lunch or dinner. Has a steady loyal following amidst tremendous competition. My staples: oyster misua, cuapao ( they are famous for this), steamed dumpling ( I love the sweet vinegar dip with this) and chopsuey rice. Very reasonable to the max! If your food is good , your quality is maintained, there's value for money, no reason for Emers not to survive comfortably and so long......
I'm probably not being subjective here but the novelty of this place added to the taste of their food - classic chinese-filipino. Ordered the all time combo of lomi and cua pao and they tasted really nice.
