We had a great experience dining at Max’s. We ordered Kare-Kare, crispy pata and their famous fried chicken. Everything was delicious.
Our server Carla was wonderful, she had an excellent customer service, she made sure everything was prepared just right. I Highly recommend this restaurant."
Thank you, Carla for taking care of us!

We order sinigang, kare-kare, crispy pata, chicken, lumpia, canton and sisig (original). Don’t buy sinigang there few meat and too sour. It’s not balanced. Nothing special about the kare-kare; worse bagoong is store bought I believe. They didn’t even bother to cooked it properly. Original sisig is like bopis not good. The rest is average nothing will excite you.
I’m from Vancouver and I know already the service and quality of food. My nephew just insisted of having brunch. I do have trepidations but since they are from KS and Max’s that why I said yes. True enough, I am correct all along. The menu is forgettable and service is chaotic. I will never ever set my foot again unless to give in to my relatives wishes! I spent 190$ for this trouble btw.

Although the Max Fried Chicken didn't taste like the one I'm used to at their restaurant in Cebu, Philippines, it was still good. It was a little bit dry, but overall, it was satisfying.
The Family Fiesta bilao was well worth the price because you get to try almost everything that they offer at the restaurant. The family size halo-halo was huge! Really HUGE! If you are a family of 4, you can't finish it. The experience was great! All the food in the family fiesta bilao tasted authentic.

The food was unique. Lots of vegetables. The soup was my favorite. We tried 5 different dishes and shared them.
Vegetarian options: The soup had lots of tender meat with vegetables.

First time at a Max's in a very long time. Food tasted just like home! the service was great and super friendly - we had a great host, but sadly can't name her here for privacy reasons. Price wise I'd say it's definitely a treat type of meal, but the fiesta is great for a size of 4-6 people. Wish we can come back again soon.

Everything sounded so delicious it was hard to choose what to order and, as expected, the flavors did not disappoint! We especially enjoyed the crispiness of the chiken and lechon but the kare kare was especially good. For dessert we ordered halo-halo and it was enormous! So refreshing. Whether it's your first time trying a Filipino dish or the millionth, anyone would enjoy their time at Max's.

We are from out of state and we are travelling to Canada with our emotional puppy who was inside his carrier bag. We decided to eat in Max Restaurant even it was way out of out route. We were not welcomed due to the restaurant even we have explained ourselves. For those of you who have fur family with you, Never consider this place as if they were implying to leave our family inside the car in the scorching heat.

Do not go to this place. Service is very rude. If you come out from town or even local, DO NOT Dare to to this place. They discriminate people.
We came from out of state, we havent had any rest but insisted to come to this place for the food. We had an emotional puppy with us who is a member of our family, we where denied to come in even our pup was inside his bag even we have given an explanation of who it was. For those of you who are planning to come consider this the ruddest place to dine in.

This place is great when you are on keto. The staff is polite and their prices are very affordable. The Pata is delicious, and their halo halo its the best. I will definitely come back.

My family & I had early dinner today tuesday 7/9/24.
The food was ok.
But the service & waiting time is very poor.
It takes too long for the food to arrive at the table.
Also order drinks & takes too long.
Ask for dipping sauce but never got it.
Service is not good.
Also the server never come at the table to ask if we need anything & if everything ok.
