Reviews
We started with the Shanghai lumpia, a crowd-pleaser that never disappoints. It’s a perfect choice whether you’re looking for an appetizer or something to round out your meal. Max’s prepares them skillfully, and they arrive in a creative deep-fried lumpia wrapper bowl. You *can* eat the bowl, but honestly, it’s not the tastiest part—it’s more for show than flavor.
Next, we tried the pancit bihon, which was a refreshing switch from palabok. The noodles are thicker and moister, reminding me of Chinese long-life noodles. They pair wonderfully with the lumpia, creating a balanced and satisfying combination.
Finally, we had the kare kare—a rich, peanut-flavored chicken dish that packs a bold taste. The meat is oxtail. It’s almost too intense on its own, so pairing it with white rice is a must to mellow it out.
The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I only wish I’d saved room for halo halo—the picture on the menu looked absolutely stunning, and I’m already looking forward to trying it next time!
The food came out relatively quickly and the dishes were delicious. Our favorites were the garlic rice (I know, it’s hard to get wearing), Max’s famous fried chicken, the pancit palabok and the Shanghai Lumpia served in a “taco” shell.
As for service, the server never checked in on us after our food was served. We had to call someone to our table a few times to get what we needed. The staff’s station doesn’t really oversee everything, better not sit by the booths close to the entrance because you’ll just be forgotten like we were. 2 birthdays was celebrated when we got there, and the staff sang for them which I don’t mind but the background music was uncomfortably loud. You can’t even have a decent conversation on your own table.
Even if the food is great, I don’t recommend dining there. Just get food for to go. They don’t clean the table or the seats thoroughly. The table was sticky, the menu had visible stain on the corner on one, and the seat had some rice and sauce which the staff saw before seating us and even tried to remove it with the menu yet still didn’t even come off. Didn’t enjoy eating there.
The pork belly was a bit more greasy then other spots bug the chicken was pretty solid.
