The store closes at 9pm but they stop their dine in an hour or more before the stated store hours(closing time). I got there at exactly almost or a little before they closes and was turned down for service expect to make a to go order but the hostess had to verify if it was okay for about a minute or two. We proceeded ordering take out and enjoyed the night after all the food was good.

One of the best place to visit if you are craving for Filipino food. There are plenty of options and my recommendations would be the sisig and bbq. The ambience is good and it can accommodate a lot of people. The staff are friendly and efficient. Be ready to eat cups of rice because the food is yummy

Foods are small portions and overpriced. The place is smells bad. The beef nilaga and pork sisig is not good compare to the other max’s branch.

Came here for an early Wednesday dinner. This is in the same area as Target. There were plenty of parking spots. We were seated right away. The place wasn’t too busy. We ordered the famous fried chicken and it was moist and skin was very crunchy and delicious. The chop suey was very good, too. Veggies were not soggy and not over cooked. The garlic fried rice was also very good. Their halo-halo for dessert was a perfect ending to a nice dinner.

Was not like the Max's in the Philippines. Food was below average. Chicken was undercooked, skin not crispy. Lumpia had no taste. would not recommend.

Wow! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Very impressed with how delicious the food is! Worth every penny! Service is amazing as well! There was only one server managing and serving all customers who were dining in and out and she did soooo fast, efficient and great! Still had a big smile on her face checking every table. Miss Jenny, our server was so sweet, hospitable and kind. Even though she was our only server for the day, she was quick and made sure we had what we needed. Our food out hot, sizzling and FAST. I’ve never had a service that fast and efficient. Kudos to Miss Jenny for being so hardworking and incredibly welcoming. She kept checking on us even if there were a lot of customers and tables to be served.
Price is a bit pricey but hey normal California price you so honestly it’s not bad at all, it’s worth every penny for every bite. We preferred bangus sisig, pork sisig with egg, garlic rice, calamansi juice, mango juice and halo halo. They all tasted so good and so delicious.
I’m very impressed and I’m planning to go back again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I hope we have the same one in Arizona, it’s a very far drive for us but we stopped by here for a vacay. Thank you Jenny and Max’s Restaurant!.

The food was well prepared and delicious. We had the classic Sisig, Bualo, pork skewers, Bangus (Milk Fish), and rice. The restaurant has plenty of seating and seems to be popular. I have not had any problems with any of their locations and highly recommend this location in San Diego.

Food was good, nothing crazy but a bit overpriced. I definitely had more lumpia’s for the same price at other places lol

Service was ok, my mom tried waving down one of the younger servers but they bee-lined straight to a table past us with some younger kids 😭 and my sis said thank you twice to a server but she didn’t smile or acknowledge it. Kinda awkward

Also barely any music so the ambience is just awkward, everyone can prolly hear my family’s conversation. I think I visited a couple years ago and it was a lot better back then! Idk what happened :(

Food is delicious, love love Max's Pansit bihon, actually all their food taste really good making you feel like you're back home in Pinas. Service is awesome too. Shout out to Jenny for manning the restaurant floor on her own and taking care of the guests all by herself. Max's restaurant is definitely worth your visit .
