Max's Restaurant Seattle, Cuisine of the Philippines

They don't know how to make good palabok, it's too dry. I prefer the one from Red Ribbon besides Seafood City.

Max's sizzling tofu was unlike anything I have ever had and it was delicious. My companions, who don't typically like tofu, tried and liked it as well.

The restaurant itself is very nice and decorated well. The staff was kind and helpful. I couldn't have asked for more.

We ordered a Family Bundle for Christmas Eve back on 12/18. We arrived at our scheduled pickup time (@ 4pm) on 12/24 and there were people already waiting at the front desk area and with no Max's employee to be found. I saw the waiter helping the couple of tables of families before we even saw a host/hostess. We were never greeted by a worker.

After about 20 minutes of waiting we had to stop one of the people running around to ask about our meal and it was apparent that they were overwhelmed. After telling them we were there to pickup our prepaid order they then asked us what we ordered. Shouldn't you as the food establishment know what was ordered? What do you mean, what did we order?! It was at this point that it was apparent that our food was not ready. Little did we know that it was not even started. After over an hour of waiting we still had to track down a worker to ask about our 4pm pickup order. At this point it was well over 5pm (5:20pm) and we still did not have our order.

This was by far the worst restaurant/food experience that I can recall in a very long time. Extremely disappointed and I feel sorry for the workers. They were not prepared for what they had to deal with that day and for that I blame their management and lack of support. This was a terrible terrible experience.

The Laing is a favorite of mine. This is a very family friendly, informal spot. Pricing has always seemed reasonable.

Fried chicken was really tasty. However, be prepared to spend a lot. Staff was so accommodating. We had a large group and we didn't realize we came in before they closed. They were so gracious to let us come in and eat.

Great Phillipino (Filipino) food. I love the Sisig and soups. Our Sever Shaine was awesome and very accommodating when we brought a baby and stroller.

One of the best places to enjoy Filipino delights, and the service was excellent as well. We deducted one star because the Fresh Lumpia wasn’t available. However, Shaine, who served us, was very attentive and pleasant.
