    staff: family run business. Servers are friendly and helpful with suggestions…read more service: it was not busy - we might have come after the lunch rush. Server checked in often, she took our orders quickly and food came out relatively quick. establishment: nice open space with bright light. Lots of tables. Lots of parking outside. food: I have never had Filipino food other than the food made by friends. I was pleasantly surprised. Great portions - we had left overs! Good flavour. The dishes we ordered were not spicy but did have good flavours.

    Wow. What an amazing experience! The service was great and the food was outstanding…read more The restaurant itself is a little hole-in-the-wall place located in a strip-mall just off 127th. The interior isn't bad, but it seems like take-out is more of a priority than dine-in. It was kinda middle-of-the-road when it came to dining atmosphere. The food, however, was fantastic. I ordered the peanut pork Kare Kare. The pork was golden crispy on the outside, but melted in your mouth in the inside. While it wasn't lean by any stretch of the imagination, the discerning food lover will know that fat=flavour. The sauce was a sweet and savoury peanut sauce mixed with vegetables. It went well with both the pork and the massive "side" of rice I ordered. My son ordered the coconut pork Bicol Express served with beans and eggplant. It had a flavour similar to a very mild Thai green curry, though the Filipino coconut was pink in colour. The vegetables and the sauce were incredible and also went very well with the rice. The pork was lean and crispy and highlighted the dish. There is so much more on the menu that I would like to explore and I'll definitely be back.

    Loved every dish that we got here! We ordered the classic half fried chicken (for 2 people). The…read morechicken had a great crispy skin while still having juicy (not dry) meat. It tasted great on its own, but my wife liked the banana ketchup on the side too. I also had the fried pork (pata) - delicious! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - an explosion of joy for the pork lover as it enters your mouth. And let's not forget the underdog - taro leaves in a coconut sauce! This dish may not be the most appealing looks-wise, but it was a great vegetable side. We also ended with the Buko Pandan, a coconut flavored dessert for fans of boba/bubble tea. Max's has a big parking lot and a large indoor dining space, so finding room should not be a problem for families or groups. The only problem? We don't live close enough to go every day!

    Met up with some friends here for their breakfast buffet and it was good! They had a typical…read moreFilipino-breakfast; steamed rice, sauteed corned beef with chopped potatoes, scrambled eggs, beef tocino, deep fried DAING (dried hairtails), congee, and warm TAHO!! For only $9.99+tax cad. You can stuff yourself with everything! Come early as the place got full before 10am. Around 9 am, some of the food trays emptied already but don't worry, they replenish them eventually.
