Best fried chicken in town. If you want a really crispy fried chicken check this place out. Not oily chicken with garlic rice and a mushroom sauce tastes really good. Duet box is my go too! Respect. Salamat po!

Had an early dinner here yesterday. Great place, great food and friendly staff. My wife and I had pancit, bbq skewers, okoy, lechon paksiw, bangus, pinakbet and last but not the least, halo-halo. We will definitely be back. You've got to try this restaurant if you have a hankering for filipino food.

First time trying Emma’s Kitchen- I ordered the Belly Lechon Combo- crispy pork belly with rice , vermicelli noodle and a pork broth soup. It was incredibly flavourful, fresh, and filling. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful! Will be back again to try more menu items.

I’ve been eager to try out a Filipino food place in Milton and it takes me back to my Mom’s cooking growing up. Prices are fair and they were very nice about fitting in a last minute order even though I can tell they’re incredibly busy. They’re very nice and professional! We ordered a party tray of palabok and menudo. The Palabok was a bit runny but the flavour was on point! So good. Everyone had seconds. And the menudo was very good and the flavour was exactly the way I remembered it. They also have a section for some Filipino grocery items as well. And the restaurant is so clean. I’m excited to try out more on the menu and will try to update as we keep coming back.

Awesome place!! The owner is super (and I mean super) friendly. It was our first time trying Filipino food and it was absolutely spot on. Both the main course we ordered were amazing (a bit oily but hey this is Asian food) and the side vegetables were great too! Would definitely come back.

First time coming to Emma's today. Really love the variety of food they serve and the place is very clean. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Four stars for me as the taho was too sweet and the food lack taste. Also, the palabok was very oily. But will definitely come by again.

Our first time in a Philipino restaurant. The staff was excellent and let us taste the dish before we ordered....very good food.... fatty....but thats where the flavor is! We ordered the fried potato cake ( dont know the name) with a shrimp in it...!! We walked out of the restaurant fully satisfied!

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

Picked up some Okoy (sweet potato & shrimp fritters), chicken afritada (chicken stew), monggo (pork & mung bean stew), sisig (pork hash), and tortang talong (eggplant omlette). Each dish did not disappoint! My favourites were the Okoy and chicken Afritada. Eating them made me feel reminiscent of my Kapampangan family parties growing up; it s a taste of home! Eating here provided some brief comfort to my homesickness. I will gladly be back next time I have a craving.

Had a really great experience and lunch here while I was in the area. Upon entering I was warmly greeted.

Everything looked and tasted delicious! Their house made sauce and sambal were AMAZING! Ended up buying a jar to home.

Emmas Kitchen doesnt dissapointment in terms of flavor and variety of choices of Filipino foods. I would highly recommend their Fried Chicken with mushroom sauce and java/coleslaw.

Wow. So. I was looking for home cooking on account of not feeling great and not wanting to do it myself. Then I remembered Emmas Kitchen. THANK THE GODS So good, flavourful, hearty, well done all around. Theyve expanded and finally got that trash pizza place outta there. You have to go in and experience it for yourself. Dont be intimidated...they are awesome and will gladly describe and make suggestions with regards to your taste. The food is good, portions are good, quality is high. I dont like giving 5 stars usually, but ya... really good stuff

We happened to learn about this GEM through my Aunts coworker. Never been to the place as they are located in Milton and we are in Toronto. Food is always delivered to us by my aunts friend who always frequent the place and lives nearby to us. The quality of ingredients and hardwork that the owners put into their menus is above and beyond. The chicken inasal is so tasty, chicharon is something you wouldnt want to stop eating. Over the holidays we ordered relyenong bangus and again exceeded my expectations. Fiesta ham is meant for special ocassion like Christmas or New Year. One of the best tasting ham my family ever had. I hope they would put the macaroni salad into their menu as that one is quite a treat as well. Looking forward to try the lechon. I hope to visit the place in the future. Highly recommended! Update: I was able to visit the store personally to pick up food for my kids bdays few months back. Nothing but great feedback from our guests.

Ordered by phone, pinakbet & binagoongan for my visiting daughter on a Sunday. Pinakbet is her favourite, but when I cook it, there would be pork & shrimps. My daughter was disappointed to find no meat/shrimp in theirs. And said that the binagoongan was more fat than meat. Not sure if we got the brunt left overs because I didn t realize they were closing at 2 pm on a Sunday. They shouldn t have sold it, since it was the scraped up bits. Hope it s a one time incident towards disposing the end bits of their dishes. We try to support fellow Filipinos on their business but this time, quality was not par with the pricey food.

I walked in because I was helping a friend out, and we were starved. Emmas Kitchen was next door, and neither of us had been. I walked in and was a little overwhelmed. I am unfamiliar with the foods they make, and not sure how to choose or order. Both the staff AND the customers that were present were incredibly warm and inviting. When they realized how lost I was, they explained a range of dishes on display, sometimes some history, their favourites (one woman told me each item was her favourite) and while I chose to stay a bit basic, I am ready for more. I have not been back for a bit, but I dream about going back and will be back many more times in the future. Amazing food and incredible people.

Wow what more can I say. The staff is so friendly and very professional while maintaining that home comfort/family type of atmosphere. I have been to many Filipino Restos but in my opinion Emmas is by far the best in Milton.where else can you get authentic Cebu style Lechon that is crispy on the oUtide and so tender and so juicy on the inside just the best. Remember if you want to do it right its Emmas Kitchen Milton
