Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia is described as offering fresh chicken and rice bowls with flavorful sauces and a welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are praised for taste and generous portions by many, though some note rising prices and smaller portions in recent visits. Sauces and the core Portuguese inspired flavors are frequently highlighted as standout features. Service is consistently praised for friendliness and professionalism, but occasional longer wait times and inconsistencies like fries arriving cold or chicken drying out are mentioned. Overall the reviews point to a strong go-to option for tasty, hearty meals with plans to return, while a few diners feel the value for money has diminished.

Wow ! Mon copain a pris un demi poulet & moi, un bol chorizo/poulet avec les sauces à côté. Nous avons trouvé le tout excellent & très savoureux. On a été bien accueilli également, service au top. On reviendra assurément.

This was not a shining experience but it was likely circumstantial to the kitchen staff at the time. I ordered the Tia Natal, a grilled cheese featuring portugese chicken, chorizo & cheese curds. This sandwich by itself totaled to about $20 after tax & tip. I will say that the cashier gave me great service. For the price though, this sandwich was disappointing. A grilled cheese is supposed to hold together. Since this was relying on cheese curds, they did not get them to sufficiently melt so the sandwich was falling apart. Wait time was a bit long & it seemed overdone as well so the cook likely left it on the grill for too long while doing something else. Dish came with a mountain of tasty fries which at least ensured that I was full from the meal but I really wish I had chosen a different sandwich or someone else made it.

It's okay. It could be better, fresher & have more interesting plates. I took an Emilia bowl, chicken & chorizo, its a 7/10. Lack of flavours & variety in my opinion. Service is also okay, the cashier completes all his uber orders before serving anyone waiting to order at the restaurant(doesn't make much sense).

J’ai commandé sur DoorDash & c’était quand même décevant sans rentrer dans les détails. Assiette Poulet / Chorizo & Crevette / Poulet.
