This restaurant over charged my parents of $96 dollars for and order that was like $40 because I had an employee discount and they never attached my discount. Right their that’s a ripoff and it’s an insult as a ex employee to be told I’d have a discount on my ticket then find out you over charged my

Nice place as usual. Dinuguan at puto, the best dinuguan yet ever in the states. Max’s fried chicken is as delicious as ever. Pork barbeque taste delicious but a bit dry. Halo halo made our day☺️

This place deserves more review! We were around the area to do a photoshoot at the Almond Orchard which is close by and ordered food to go- Lumpiang Shanghai, Lechon Kawali and Pork Bbq are all so good! Thank you GJet for the reco! Please open one in Orange County! I would love to dine-in. Highly recommend this Filipino resto! Sorry no photos because we're so hungry!

Food and service was great. Best Halo Halo! Tried the Buko coconut juice was also great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food is so good. I always get the caldereta, garlic rice, pancit canton ( thick noodle) crispy pata, and lumpia. This order feeds 4 adults easily. The only negative is that they do not give you enough sauce for the lumpia.

We’re visiting with friends and tried to eat brunch in there. It was an awesome experience! Staffs were very caring especially Josie, making sure we had our food right. Everything was great. Thank you!!

First time to try. The place is clean. A very nice look inside. Hostess was pleasant and waiters were friendly and answered our questions about the menu. I ordered the adobo bowl. My friend had the bbq pork bowl. I have to say I enjoyed the bowl but their adobo was atypical. There are so many ways to cook adobo and this was just mediocre. The jasmine rice served was excellent. Would have enjoyed more dishes. The family style dishes does not come with rice. The prices were very high. I guess these days it's difficult to eat out for lunch under $25.

I loved the entire meal! We had a half chicken and the pancit of the day (shrimp, bbq pork) and a new dessert of Biko, just like Grandma used to make! The service was fast and friendly, we came around 12:30pm. It was clean and friendly ambience. Loved how they sang Happy Birthday in Tagalog to an Auntie.

Came here for lunch to have coworkers try the food. The young server who attended us was not very attentive. The customer service was lacking. It took like 10-15 min just to get water on this day that was not busy at all. When the waitress split the checks she handed us three separate checks and just handed all three to one person to distribute. Should've checked each one and handed it to us individually. Lastly, the food is overpriced. Won't come back.

The food is ok. I think I cook better. The pancit bihon was not enough on the plate for the price you pay. I forgot to take picture I cannot believe when brought the pancit bihon.its watery and they spread it like your feeding a baby to cool it down its so little serving and taste like they use turmeric yellowish color.First time I experience tasting the pancit bihon like that. We are not coming back this will be my first and last visit to this resturant.

Chicken is not like the Max's chicken at all. Dry & tastes old not fresh.Lechon kawali tastes like it's been several days old too. The palabok doesn't look fresh too. Over alk disappointed with our experience.Don't go to this location.San Francisco, Chicago & Jersey City taste more like the original Max's.

To all the people who rave about this place. Why??? The first time I came here, I got their famous chicken. It was like $18 for a small, bland chicken. Then the second time, my mom was craving fresh lumpia with ubod. We come home to open the two tiny lumpias for $14 mind you, and no ubod to be found. We call and they say they're out of ubod. The person that answered my call had the nerve to tell me, "I'm pretty sure I told you we were out of ubod." Yeah- no you didn't. No one informed me when I placed the phone order or when I picked up. Little disappointing. Do not think I'll come back to this place nor can I recommend. I will however give props to the manager, she handled the call professionally.
