Joia Restaurant

Food is out of this world!!! Really well thought out menu with quality and fresh ingredients. Joia has an amazing bar with plenty of TV if you wanted a quick happy drink and also an amazing dining room to seat large parties! Plenty of parking too right around the corner. Their steak sandwich will be something I dream about. I got it for lunch but honestly this is something I would love to have catered for a party. It was soooo good. Get here ASAP!

Excellent service. Outstanding food. Check out the pic. Loooove the Salmon they served. Highly recommend.

Good food, good drink, good service, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable prices, no problem looking for parking!!! Joia, great place!!!!

We visited Joia Restaurant this past week and tried their Bacalhau a Bras and the steak. The steak lacked salt, and so did the bacalhau. But the bacalhau also lacked pepper. It was very bland. The atmosphere was good and the service as well. Staff was friendly and attentive. Their flan was also good and the prices weren’t outrageous.

Choose this place to meet our friend as she returned from NYC to Philly. Just a couple blocks from the PATH train. The place is large and was quiet on Wednesday afternoon. The portions are large and will provide several days of leftovers.

My partner and I went here becuase we wanted to enjoy the happy hour and it worth it and extremely affordable, I can understand why there are is many regulars here. Service is good and food is wonderful. I have done both carry-out and dine-in. (Top Pick) Pealla Seafood - I bought this thinking it would be a small expensive, boy was I wrong. This thing huge, the shear weight of it was astonishing. Being frugal, my partner and I had enough for 14 servings lasting 3 days!! As 30 bucks, divided by 14 is 2.14 a plate. That is extremely affordable. The taste was fantastic, not too oily, yet the rice goes down easily. The lobster was a shocker as I didnt expect that, the shrimp, clams, muscles, and scallops were there. Each serving I had was filled with seafood, so they don't cheap out on pleasing you! Its worth it and the taste is incredible! Ham and Cheese w/French Fries - I bought this thinking it would also be a simple snack, but the rustic style bread is extremely fresh. The ham they used was good quality and cheese was tasty. It tasted good, great quick lunch or snack for sure. Mac and Cheese w/Shrimp - A nice pile of Mac and Cheese, the cheese was good, thought it was like canned cheese than special mixtures. But it was good, the shrimp was pentiful and good. I recommend this plate for children and fans. I wouldn't get it again though. Shrimp Cakes - This was very good, one shrimp in each dumpling like shape. It was like nachos with shrimp. Pretzel - A huge pretzel with amazing generic canned fake cheese, very obvious but very fun to eat. I rely on the cheese a lot, so maybe won't get it again, but if you like eating it plain, then its very good. Complimentary Bread - Fresh baked bread from some bakery, worth it. Mash Potatoes - Good mixture in the mash potatoes and taste. Nothing wild, but it was a side dish. French Fries - I decided to give french fries its own review, it tastes great and I am not sure they add an extra coating to it, but they make it really crispy. I will always get fries here! Overall, amazing experience and food, they know how to prepare food and I would say to come here and try out all the seafood plates! Its worth it. I wish they created their own cheese mixture, still I be a regular here!

Love this place it has become one of our weekly regulars.

Wonderful place to have a meetup and first dinner. Great selections of entrees..we decided on the porterhouse for the charismatic and down to earth guy and the rodrizio platter for the small petite lady.. Lucas was a great host and very attentive, and had impeccable service. The desert was to die for. We left full and had to walk the park few blocks down..
