Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: No.5 Emerald Hill consistently delivers a charming, cosy atmosphere with a distinct Chinese-style interior, making it a popular spot for unwinding.

We note the strong positive feedback on their cocktails, particularly the unique jelly cocktails and the KI NO TEA.

The Har Cheong Gai chicken wings are frequently highlighted as a must-try, praised for being crispy and juicy, and the sotong balls also receive good mentions for their authentic texture.

Service is generally described as friendly, attentive, and fast, even on crowded nights.

While the ambiance and service are strong points, some feedback suggests cocktails, despite being creative, might lack potency for their price point.

We also noted a specific complaint about 'malansa' (fishy) fish balls, which might be an item to approach with caution.

Verdict: A reliable choice for a lively night out with friends, especially if you appreciate unique cocktails and well-executed bar bites like the Har Cheong Gai chicken wings.

Best for groups looking for a good vibe and attentive service, but manage expectations on cocktail strength.

What customers say

No.5 Emerald Hill is highly praised for its charming, cozy Chinese-style interior and vibrant atmosphere, making it a popular spot for unwinding and nights out.

Customers consistently highlight the creative and refreshing cocktails, especially the addictive jelly drinks and flavorful martinis, alongside delicious food items like the "har cheong gai" chicken wings.

While service is generally fast and attentive, some patrons note a decline in cocktail strength over the years, and one found the fish ball dish unpleasantly fishy.
