Maxi's Chinese Restaurant and Lounge

I have been eating here for years and it never disappoints. My favorite is the szechuan beef and the almond chicken.

Recommended dishes: Hot and Sour Soup

This used to be the best Chinese in marysville. Now I'd say it is the worst. They changed to recipes on several things supposedly to improve the texture of the foods. Almond chicken was good before but the breading would fall off. Now it's in chunks that stick but it tastes like flour. Expensive flour according to the owner. Bring back the old foods. Until then I'll never be back.

What happened? The food and drinks used to be awesome. The almond chicken now resembles fried chicken gizzards? Used to be a fried chicken breast that was cut. All of our food was over fried and gross/ the meats escaped from being over fried. Soda syrup was out on the sprite and CO2 was running low and flat. Won't be back again.

Almond fried chicken!! I been hearing about this almond chicken for months now from my wife, and we finally got some. It was amazing and the server was very patient and kind to our large group. Fast service and we didn't have to wait to long for the food to come out. It's kinda a smaller place on the restaurant side but they do have a bar side that I didn't get around to visiting. Plenty of parking also.

The service was great the food was ok the soup was a little salty and thick and the chicken was ok in the dish for the almond chicken.

The whole thing was off. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! When the food arrived at the table it smelled bad. Like the chicken was bad and they still cooked it and served it. This place is a health risk. The service was horrible when we complained they did nothing to correct the problem.

Sat right away took took order onlyb1 other table at time. 30 min plus wait for guest plate then 10 mins later my plate then we were half was through before our white rise showed up. Never got more tea. We were table of 2 no reason. For our food to be so spread apart. Then was not good. My almond chicken tasted like fried chicken with chicken gravy with little flavor. We were very disappointed in this restaurant. We're are looking for new place but maxis will not be one we visit again

The poor waiter was running around solo tonight. It took over 2 hours to get our food,they also completely forgot one dish. They were focusing more on to go orders than the customers on the dining room. The lady who is usually friendly was very rude. After having not gotten a refill in over a hour of my water I asked for a refill. She barked something at me and rushed,never coming back with my water. The food was good. The server was doing his best but getting no help from management

The problem was that we went here on Xmas eve and it was so backed up for orders. One diner told me they waited 2hrs for their food! They were also short a server. I watched multiple people get up and leave. They need to turn off uber and door dash so that customers sitting in the restaurant can get service and food. Food is always good but i felt sorry for the waiter.
