Five stars for Max Restaurant! Everything was fantastic, from the perfectly crispy **Max's Fried Chicken** and **Crispy Pata** to the service that made us feel like family. They topped it all off with the most memorable, HUGE **Halo-Halo birthday surprise** for our 11-year-old baby girl. Above and beyond!
November 2025
We ordered 6 different dishes which were all great. Their beef, fried chicken, and fried fish were all excellent. The fried rice dishes were a bit neutral in flavour which meant they went well paired with any of the meat dishes. And the portions were generous so we had some food to enjoy later on in the day.

We ordered the lumpia, pancit canton, and bbq skewers, they were amazing! The servers were also amazing with giving recommendations for our first time trying filipino food, asking for our opinions and giving us fantastic service
