Max's Restaurant, Cuisine of the Philippines, Milpitas

Chicken was light and crispy. Not oily like the other popular Filipino chicken place that we all know. The halo halo had great presentation but didn't have enough of the fun yummies I expected. This is mommy's favorite childhood restaurant from the Philippines. The food was fine. I liked that it wasn't salty. I liked the lumpia presentation in an open wrapper. Garlic rice was nicely flavored, but could have used more garlic. I'll come back next time in town to try more chicken. Dietary restrictions: I love Filipino food but due to new allergies to sesame I can't guarantee I can eat here safely. Staff isn't well versed in allergy knowledge. Language was a barrier with the server.

Max chicken was awesome. Lots of flavor. Also had their pandit bihon and nilaga baka with steam rice. It's a little on the pricey side but the food was great.

I love MAX’s Fried Chicken. It is comfort food for me. Growing up in Manila in the 60’s there was one Max’s Restaurant on Roxas Blvd in Paranaque/Baclaran and one in Cubao, the Baclaran one was very popular. My dad used to take us there on special occasions and we loved it. Back then an order of chicken came with fried plantains. Delicious meal. Living in the States I’ve been to Max’s in LA in the 90’s, my favorite Max’s in Las Vegas and the old Max’s in San Jose(?). This Max’s now still has the same tasting chicken I remember from my childhood years. Delish. Simple fare but I will travel long distances to eat at Max’s, I live over an hour away. I walk in, same ambience, same decor and same delicious food as I remember. Wait staff is wholly Filipinos from the homeland. And as it is with Filipinos everywhere, warm, friendly, caring and respectful. I only wish they’d stick up on their wine inventory. I had to drink beer. I love Max’s Fried Chicken and I hope they go on to my children’s generation.

Ordered Kare Kare to go and when I got home, there was no meat at all. I was told it has ox tail before I ordered. I got 2 containers, one has vegetables and the other was sauce. It's disappointing after travelling over an hour to get home with no dinner.

Good food!I like the crispy pata and the fried chicken.

If you want to get a bite to eat that's quality food stop at max's
