Max's Restaurant Jersey City, Cuisine of the Philippines

I came here to eat with my partner at around 2 pm. While we were waiting for our server to come to our table, another group was seated. We waited for a few minutes and saw that our server was about to come to our table when he attended the group that was seated after us first. When he finally reached our table, there were no greetings and it was just straight to “you guys ready to order?” . After placing our order, our server disappeared and only came out when our order was ready. No complaints about the food though but our server never bothered to check up on us during our meals or refilled any of our drinks. I had to get another server’s attention because I couldn’t find our initial server. My boyfriend and I both ordered a combo meal which supposedly came with caramel bar per the menu. Midway through the meal, I realized that we were given leche flans and when I asked where the bars were, we were told that they didn’t have it. I wouldn’t have had a problem had I known prior to ordering that there was an item that was not available. The whole experience at this place was just frustrating and unpleasant. I somewhat felt a little bit discriminated because of how young my boyfriend and I were compared to the usual crowd that was in the restaurant. We were so uncomfortable that we left immediately after finishing our meals because we just wanted to get out of that place. TLDR: service was horrible, there were no greetings or any good interaction with our server since he disappeared into the kitchen 95% of the time we were there.

Pork belly kare kare was great. Pork sisig and pancit canton needs improvement. the seat furniture on the first floor needs to be replaced! Parking is difficult even on weekends

Could've been an awesome lunch but the food took too long to come out. We ended up cancelling one of the dishes because the kitchen didn't realize it was one of our orders. Aside from that, the food was really good.

Great Filipino Food! Don’t miss out!

I ordered for take out and there is automatic tip of 15%. Please watch your bill. Why would I give $20 tip for something that they didn't do anything extra?

This place needs to seriously check how their own food taste before serving or selling it. The whole fried chicken is so dry as if it was just reheated. The worst was the pork sisig! It was too salty, flooded in oil and not even crispy as it says. NOT worth the Price nor the trip!
