The delivery driver was nice but the language barrier made my dinner impossible to enjoy. The food was at best mediocre.

Been going here for years. Rarely disappointed in the food. Favorite rice of any Chinese restaurant I've eaten. Solid appetizers. Good entrees. Great soup. Great staff.

Amazing food, good service, and fair prices what more could you really ask for huh?
Use to go there all the time! Was my family's favorite. Recently spent over $100. The chicken terriaki was burnt to a crisp.The pan fried noodles tasted like plastic and the rice had no flavor. Sad to say, but this was my last time!!!

Dec 5 experience. Had to throw away my food. My pork chow mein was not edible. I could eat the rice only because i was hungry Almost threw up after eating my egg roll. The taste was that bad. The sauce didn't help, it might be fermented. The rice was over soy sauced. The maxim lo mein was without sauce and completely different than described. The taste and presentation was awful. I'm not sure why it was that bad. They had 4 cooks working and yet it looked as if I got what was meant for the disposal.

Got takeout recently and am sad to report that the food was not good. Their pork fried rice was plain. There was hardly any pork or other usual ingredients that made it tasteful. Boneless ribs were fatty and tough while their chicken fingers were doughy. I will not do business at China Maxim again.

Update:The original owners have sold. Since the new owners took iver the food is greasy and old tasting. When you irder online you are forced to tip or the irder won't be taken.I was a customer for 28 years and won't be back.No longer the best food around.
This place has gone way downhill since the old owners left. I ordered here a couple times with the new owners and both times the food has been cold to luke warm. They also give less food than they used to and charge more money. Will not be

I am updating my review from 6 years ago, This place was my absolute favorite Chinese food place,... used to be.I ordered my usual PuPu Platter and an order of pork fried rice.This food is definitely not the same.I've found out that they are under new ownership and the food is absolutely horrible.Hopefully the new owners see the reviews and go back to the old style that made everyone love them.Unfortunately, until today happens I and my entire family will not be eating there and I would not recommend to anyone.

China Maxim has new owners. I had been going here since 1983, it was my go to place. I got to know the owners over all these years and watched their family grow from youngsters to college age. I grew up on the Northshore of Boston and had my go to Chinese Food favorites, and found China Maxim to be very similar.Unfortunately all things must change and they sold their business. The food is now terrible!!!!!! Burnt and very greasy boneless spareribs, chicken fingers with the breading so thick it is like eating a chicken sandwich. I am looking for a new go to restaurant in the Dracut area that has outstanding food.

China Maxim is under new management and ownership. The Chinese family that owned and operated China Maxim for decades is gone. When the original Chinese family owned the restaurant, it was my go-to-place for traditional old fashioned Chinese food for decades.Under the new owners, the name of the restaurant is the same, and so is the menu, however, the food I had was terrible. I had the "B" combination plate, which consists of Beef Mushroom Chow Yoke, Boneless Spear Ribs, Chicken Fingers, and Pork Fried Rice, with a small side order of Beef Teriyaki.The Beef Teriyaki was burnt to a crisp, there was no Teriyaki marinate, essentially, I received a small container of burnt pieces of meat on a stick. The combination plate wasn't much better. I received a small portion of tasteless boneless spear ribs in some kind of Red marinade that had little or no flavor. The Chicken fingers were greasy and limp, and the Beef Chow Yoke tasted funky, and if I didn't know better, I'd assume it came out of a can. The food was terrible both in terms of its quality, and the skimpy portions. I ended up throwing out all the food. It just wasn't edible.If you were a fan of the restaurant when it was owned and operated by the original Chinese family, you'll be very disappointed with the complete nose dive that the quality of the food has undergone and the skimpy portions. I can't recommend China Maxim with its new owners. The food was just terrible.
