   Let me just say that I frequent this chain back in the Philippines and they have replicated the same quality of service and food that I love (except for the lack of kalamansi in Vancouver, but replaced with lemon) 😁 Overall, definitely coming back for comfort food and Filipino desserts!

   Great food and service. The food was slightly saltier than I'm used to but the flavour is awesome. First time trying out their sizzling tofu and that dish is the best. Even ordered a take out of that dish to share with family and continue savouring it at home. It was that good.

   The Sizzling Tofu and Chicken are our go to. We had a family dinner as it’s my Husband’s birthday. Our server, Ell was awesome. I wonder if we can ask for her to be our server again coming back. We’ll definitely go back🥰

   This restaurant is overpriced. Also, they need to remove the auto 15% gratuity charge on yhe checks. I will not return to this restaurant again.

    The food was awesome BUT the protocols set in place are the best I’ve seen in the city. We felt so safe and proud of then (as a Filipino) it shows that the business and staff really care about the wellbeing of the community and their team. Great job guys

    At one point, no servers on site, we ended up putting our used plates and utensils on the other table, to clear some space. Table for 12 was so tight, elbow to elbow.

    I heard a lot about their chicken, initially I thought it was pretty good. As ate I found it a bit dry, and tasteless. My wife dish was quite good, BBQ beef keebob. Will most likely try other dishes at this restaurant in the future.

    I did not find most of the dishes to be of good quality or good taste except for the Lumpia, roast pork and the Kare Kare. Large size Halo Halo was overpriced at $49 and mostly filled with crushed ice. Adobo was extremely salty. Fried chicken their signature dish was overcooked and meat was dry. Dishes were pricey for the quality. Restaurant is in need of improvements and cleanliness. Service needs work and consistency. There are too many better options elsewhere and I will not visit here again.

    Carmela was a pro, together with the other crew. They took great care of our party with their happy disposition. It is apparent that they love what they were doing which seems not common in the industry so I'll say it is a welcome treat for me and my guests. Our food was ready at the time we requested it and were served in an appetizing way.

    For a Friday night, the restaurant was understaffed for the amount of customers there. The service was thus inadequate and degraded the dining experience.

    We had a business lunch for 6 yesterday. It was a going away party for a colleague who we often come to Max's with for the Lechon Kawali. We had reservations. Our food came much faster than usual. Everything tasted great! The head server, a familar person to us, is always very courteous, friendly and super efficient. He always welcomes us with a smile.

    We just had the worst experience last Friday Feb 2. Me and my friends came out to try their dine out vancouver. No kidding our food came after 1.5hrs, cold and no remorse from our server for the slow service. We followed up our order several times and noticed that people around us are getting their food first even if we came way before them. So unfair and unacceptable. The sizzling tofu was cold and so with the sisig and crispy pata. Seriously lost our appetite. We waited so long for the food. Poor service! Worst experience!

    Max's is a well known chain from the Philippines. They are best known for their roast chicken, but they have lots of other Filipino dishes for you to try. I purchased their Dine Out dinner meal. It was a lot of food, and had to take home leftovers. All for $20. Filipino food is not spicy like many other Asian foods, so don't worry if you cannot handle spicy. Most dishes are flavoured with vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, or some combination of it. Filipino desserts are also really good. Usually has coconut milk in them and may have young coconut meat. The Dine Out dessert had buko (young coconut meat), mixed with pearls and nata de coco (coconut jelly cubes) in a pandan coconut milk mixture. Very tasty.

    Just want to try Philippine foods and give a try again! I had a bad experience with the same restaurant ( slow to bring the food) and food was terrible. This time, I was surprised with the quick service and the food. It is worth given another try again.

    4 people at the table; we each ordered 1 appetizer, 1 entree, and 1 dessert. We sat for 2+ hours because the wait time for everything to be delivered was unbelievable. Portions would have been decent, but after 45 min before first course arrived, everyone left hungry.

    Pleasant decore and ambience; service friendly, prompt and anticipatory. We were a party of 6 who had “over-eaten” but wanted to have dessert to wrap things up. We ordered their much-acclaimed Halo-halo to share and without asking for it from our server, the order came with 6 little cups and spoons that made it much easier for us to divvy things up without mess. It’s little things like this that make a dining experience special.
