I came sunday afternoon in this Max Restaurant branch in woodside..it was snowy chilly weather and really craving for hot soup and I ordered Bulalo with rice, and I was really amazed with the big serving of Bulalo in a big bowl.. ( sulit na sulit talaga sa presyo). And it’s really a great serving with lots of beef and perfect taste.. and my server named Rowen is very nice, approachable and helpful attending to every client’s needs. Im happy with everything..I will definitely come back again.. this Restaurant is highly recommended

Well, they got the recipe! Worcestershire sauce to go with their crispy fried chicken they are famous for! But, please less pork on your menu! After all, ur famous for the chicken not the Filipino pork based menu! I had to specially request my pancit without meat and pork broth ( they have a big pot of pork, chicken, beef broth altogether ).

Our son, his wife and little daughter visited us from London to spend Christmas with us. We brought them to Max’s here at Queens, last Friday for lunch. Of course, I had him taste my favorite Batangas Lomi and other lunch courses. The atmosphere is so relaxing with the excellent and warm service of your service staff MEI-SAN ( she is so good, I’m very impressed) and of course, the very Reliable and Friendly ALYSSA! Thank you for the very food, excellent service and delightful atmosphere. We love this Max’s Branch and very highly recommend it!

The food was pretty good. Loved the Java fried rice and the halo halo. The serving sizes were good and the food good flavor.
The downside is their vegetable menu section isn’t strictly vegetarian and a bit misleading – if you have dietary restrictions it is best to tell your waiter.

Earlier me and my mom went here and it’s our first time eating filipino food. My coworkers recommended me this place and they told me to try the sinigang. And It was a wonderful experience to eat something authentic from other country. And thanks to the guy named jowett and rexy. They help me out with the menu I had a hard time what to order. They recommended the best seller which is the kare kare and the sinigang.
Im definitely coming back again!

The comfort and love that Max’s food provides. My family and I enjoyed the lumpia, garlic rice, pancit, sisig, crispy pata, ube shake, and halo halo.

Very mediocre food.
Squid, tentacles and tail overcooked; main body undercooked.
Fried chicken, taste, fry, nothing special.
After taking our order which are 5 dishes, our waiter came back to our table after a while asking if this is our first time and wanna try the sigsig, I found it strange, don’t u ask and suggest during the ordering??
Can’t get water or napkins refilled
Floor super greasy and slippery

Mediocre, nothing special about the chicken with spicy chili powder. Their Kare-Kare veggies are good except for the meat is a bit chewy. The meat tripes would’ve been edible and easier to chew if it’s pressurized cooked. Otherwise would’ve been a good dish the peanut butter sauce a little sweet. The lechon kawali sisig I had is not the traditional sisig I was expecting. So much missing ingredients just fat fat fat. I like their pancit cause of the veggies crunchy.

New Filipino spot in Queens! More accessible now than in Jersey! Must try if you are in Woodside!
Location: It is located in Woodside, where all the Filipino restaurants are. The interior is quite small. The seatings from table to table is too crowded.
Service: they are very nice. They greet you once you come in. I came on a Friday lunch, and its little bit busy, but we got seated right away.
Food: Everything was good but not the chicken. Lol. MAX CHICKEN: we ordered whole fried chicken and it comes with french fries. The chicken is quite dry tho, maybe the way they fried it? DENCIO PORK SISIG: this was the best food here, I will come back to this restaurant just from their sisig, its crunchy and creamy at the same time! Definitely order sisig! LECHON KAWALI: another favorite, the skin is crunchy and the pork was soft and moist inside. I hope they have mang tomas with it tho. LAING: it is creamy but most of the leaves are still crunchy, so it needs more time on the pan, but they seasoned it well. SAGO’T GULAMAN: so refreshing and perfect amount of sweetness. GARLIC RICE: this is good too! Large order is 5 scoop of rice so just make sure you can finish the large. Lol
Price rating: 6/10, it is not that bad for Filipino food.
I will definitely come back here! Order PORK SISIG and LECHON KAWALI, both of them are the bomb!

So happy Max’s Restaurant is now open in Woodside, Queens, NY! We had dinner last week of July 2022 to celebrate hubby’s bday. It was a weekday so we didn’t experience a long wait time. Great food! Tasty! Can’t even pick a favorite because everything was just delicious! Excellent customer service from the staff- they were very attentive and kept checking on our needs. Kudos and Thanks to Bianca, Jowett, and Kuya Oliver and to all the staff! For my hubby who’s the bday celebrant that day, just like the branch in Manila, Philippines, I requested for a simple surprise wherein staff would prepare a fun “happy birthday” song and they did so wonderfully amazing on this! They also gave him (the birthday celebrant) 1 free scoop of ice cream with candle on top. We’ll definitely return
