I always see this place and thought I give it a try. The food was good. The Chinese food scene in Jackson Heights has declined so I am wandering into Woodside and Sunnyside and I believe I found a hidden gem. My test for any Chinese hole in a wall spot is to try the chicken and broccoli or the beef and broccoli. I ordered the beef and broccoli combo and it didn't disappoint. It could have been better if there was more beef but I'm just being greedy. lol. We also ordered the roast pork Lo mein, fried pork dumplings, fried chicken wings and the chicken with eggplant combo (they did mess up on this order and forgot the chicken). All in all, this place was good and I will return. read more

Maxim - Maxim's House Special Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Woodside, New York

This used to be our go-to local spot for consistent basic Chinese food, but their quality has declined a lot since the pandemic happened. I ordered spicy and hot beef and recieved an order of green pepper and onions with the tiniest bit of beef. Will be looking for a new Chinese restaurant read more

They are open again! All the tables are gone so its pick up and delivery only. They have the whole counter wrapped in plastic so seems like they are taking the safety thing pretty seriously. They close early around 10pm. But definitely call to make sure. read more

My husband and his family have been eating from here for almost a decade now and when I moved to NewYork after marriage he introduced me to this place as well. After trying their food I understood why my husband didn't like eating Chinese food from any other place. It's super cheap and convenient and is always FRESH! He orders the half fried chicken with onion fried rice and I love the sesame chicken with onion fried rice. The plate is very filling and we always end up eating it for 2 meals because of how big the portions are. The staff is super friendly and their food is worth every penny! read more

Good food. Fresh food. Decent people. Never really had any complaints. The food was what I wanted in the portions I want. I'm rather picky in how I want my food, and they get it right every time. read more

The best Chinese food in the area. And probably the best Chinese take out I've ever had. Fast efficient service.

I've tried every chinese take out place around the area (woodside kitchen, east 21, moon palace, and lucky) and maxim by far is the best one! Not only is their food good but it's also open later. Not to mention they are on delivery.com which is an app i love to order food from! read more

Bland and took too long to arrive. Disappointment. I ordered off of Grubhub. The chicken wings were crisp and hot but had little to no seasoning on them. Edible but not enjoyable to have. The General Tso's shrimp also arrived hot with a tad of spice but didn't have much flavor. The serving of shrimp was generous and I substituted white rice instead of pork fried rice. Meh. The delivery took awhile to come. I would say I waited 50 minutes for my order. The restaurant is close to my job though. Perhaps due to the lunch rush. read more

I ordered from this restaurant very often and they're late beyond their seamless timeframe 90% of the time. I've overlooked it because their food is decent and relatively cheap. Today was the last time I'll order from them, they showed up nearly 40 minutes late. When I called the restaurant, the guy who answered had no explanation or apology. I called seamless for a refund and sent the delivery guy back with my order when he did show up. Is this how you treat a regular customer? Shameful and rude. read more

I've been coming here since 1998 when I was 8 years old and ordering the half fried chicken with pork fried rice and egg drop soup delivered to my door. Since 2002, I moved to California but every time I am back in NY, I make sure to eat here as this is the taste of my youth! I'm overjoyed that they are still in business 18 years later with the same food. No this is not your fancy Chinese restaurant so stop reviewing it like one people! This is a (really) fast and affordable Chinese take out/delivery joint (you can eat in too if you want). Maxim, I hope you stay in business for another 18 years and beyond read more

My family owned a Chinese take-out restaurant, so I thought it was the same everywhere. WRONG. There are definitely some greasy bland places out there, but Maxim's actually does Chinese take-out justice. Excellent Singapore Mei Fun and Mixed Vegetables. There's lots of vegetarian dishes and they also have brown rice! And it doesn't taste like cardboard. Big plus. Maxim's is clean, service is speedy, and the food is not as oily as other places. Plus, sometimes they have kids working the counter so that just makes me nostalgic cuz it reminds me of my childhood days. Overall, a very decent restaurant if you are craving Chinese take-out. read more

Their food is always so fresh. I misordered something that contained pork and the woman answering the phone immediately re-sent a different order back to my house. Amazing service! Thank you again. read more

my boyfriend got a stomach virus from your terrible food. he ordered dumplings and something else i don't remember but it had chicken in it. he said the chicken tasted stale and he only ate a few bites but then his stomach immediately hurt. he had to work for hours after while his stomach hurt just to come home to a fever, feeling weak, and terrible hot flashes and chills, he felt better after doing number 3 (you know what i mean) but now he had to cancel his plans and has to call out of work due to feeling weak and being sick from your shitty excuse of what you think is food. this place should get shut down and i hope whoever is putting a lame amount of effort into these "meals" understands that you are putting people's lives at risk. read more

I end up here frequently to pick up food. It's the best takeout in the area for the price. The portions are enormous, and the specials are really inexpensive. I usually get the General Tso's chicken, which is enough for a meal and then some. I usually pick up from there, but when I have had delivery, it has been on time and arrived piping hot. read more

Just a very disappointing meal. Especially the sweet and sour chicken. Completely overcooked and nothing but crunchy breading and barely any chicken in each piece. I remember back in the day when you would have a decent amount of chicken and it was cooked just right. Now its like I'm chewing fortune cookies. Will be taking a break from this restaurant for a long while till they figure it out again. read more

Horrible. This use to be the place I use to get my food. Now I've been with diarrhea for the past 2 days and fever with a stomach virus after eating from here. Chills and all. Was almost instant after I ate the food. Do not order from here. Quality and sanitary conditions are horrible. read more

Super satisfied! Inexpensive price and portions are big! Fast delivery too! I waited for less than 40 mins. Would definitely order again. I got a beef ho fun, steamed dumplings, egg drop soup, sweet and sour chicken and crab Rangoon. All worth the price! read more

My go-to Chinese restaurant when it's late at night and I'm having the munchies. Staff is friendly and the food is pretty good for a cheap price. They open late and the delivery is pretty quick. read more

Just had this again the other day. Love love love this place. Considering there are plenty of other Chinese take out places close by they are stills good. Inexpensive, fast, and just plain edible. I have had some best death experiences with one further away awful! I gave been going to this place fir years and food is still good. Especially their fried chicken wings! YUMMIE! Whether you r a meat eater or a veggie eater there is something on the menu for everyone. read more

Basic Chinese takeout. Nothing special. Also, for two meals how do you only give one packet of duck sauce and shaft us out of our fortune cookie? Good thing is that delivery is speedy and the food is good if you are really having a craving for Chinese takeout. read more

horrible food. I've given this place several shots at getting it right but the inexperienced young chef rushes everything and undercooks meat all the time. The orange beef was the worst I've ever had. I live around the corner and will walk 5 blocks in the opposite direction to get better food. read more

Tasty options- full flavor- delicious Kung Pow chicken. All great deals and a keeper for the area and time being. They could use speedier service and friendlier employees. read more

Definitely different than regular fast food Chinese restaurants. They have a few more options on their menu that you wouldn't get normally in other Chinese restaurants. However, there's nothing really that fancy about their food. Maxim is one of those places where you get exactly what you pay for. Very cheap and affordable food...but so is the quality. read more

I ordered soup from here once and I found a fiber from a towel in the soup. Another time, I ordered chow mei fun and I found a staple in my food, Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Never again. read more

It's my go to chinese delivery joint...food is good but not exceptional, delivery is prompt, reliable place for chinese delivery.

This place is good and very convinient for me... I like their wonton soup with their house chili sauce, their seafood combo, and their General Tso's chicken. The prices are great too :) read more

Food was pretty good - got the combination plate. Only downside was no sauce. Seriously, what chinese place sends out egg rolls and crab rangoon with no dipping sauce at all!? and when we called up, they said that is how it is supposed to come... read more

Ordered take-out from this place and it was ready in 15 minutes! I got the chicken and string beans which was good, but the chicken pieces could have been a little bit bigger. The Crab Rangoon was ok, but definitely needs more filling because it was mostly fried dough. Overall this place was decent food at a good price. The place looked clean compared to other Chinese restaurants I've been to. The cashier also greeted me and smiled when I came in to pick up my order so that was nice considering some places just give you the food and ring you up. Basic customer service goes a long way! I like that they're open late too unlike some other places along Roosevelt Ave. This place gets 3 stars from me. Giving this place an extra star because they had my takeout order ready in 10 minutes this time and I tried their General Tso's Chicken which is made with white meat, delicious! read more

Dont order the sesame or general tso chicken it gave me and my gf food poisoning. I cant say about the other items but becareful. Delivery was quick but i will never order again read more

Best Chinese in Queens hands down!!! Now they even serve Pad Thai, and its DELICIOUS! They use fresh vegetables. I've never seen fresh mushrooms used in Chinese Cuisine anywhere else in Queens. I dont know why some other yelpers gave this place a low rate Maxim is amazing. Try it for yourself. read more

They currently have a 'C' NYC Dept of Health restaurant grade. I tried ordering form here yesterday and the lady that answered the phone told me they were closed... on a Thursday afternoon... hmmm. I have no idea whether they were closed due to a health inspection, but today i tried looking them up on NYC Dept of health to see what 'grade' they got ( http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/services/restaurant-inspection.shtml) and they weren't listed. So I called and and flat out asked and the guy answered "Right now we have a C" Very unfortunate since their food was decent for a fast food Chinese takeout place. read more

they could really use speedier service and friendlier staff. its gotten better of the years, so ill give them that. but with that, their prices have gotten higher. their daily specials are quite good, so just go for that. they usually have the cashier cook your food, which is nasty since they dont use glove for either cooking or handling your money. place is tiny and has no AC. they dont clean their tables or chairs often. read more

disguisting people i made a phone call to order she put me on hold okay fine she put me on hold three times. she told me to not call if i dont know what i want to make sure i know what i want before i order and she wouldnt even listen to my order. also i can not eat pork and i didn't know their lunch specials come automatically with pork fried rice and they didn't care to change my order a disgrace of a place to eat. why would any one want to go eat somewhere where they get zero respect and zero understanding from the staff. disguisting behavior to customers if i can give a zero star or a negative one star i would. going to make sure no one i know of their neighborhood goes there or orders from there. read more

dude u have never ever eaten good chicken or shrimp lomein till u try Maxim. People are very nice when u call and they are speedy. Food is as fresh as any chinese restaurant and the flavor of the food is awesome! read more

Food is OK and delivery is quick.The last few times I've ordered, though, they've gotten something wrong about the order. They'll send the wrong sodas, or leave out one of the things I order, or send the wrong appetizer. No response when I call to complain, customer service is lousy, well, nonexistent actually. Would not recommend - very disrepectful. read more

I ordered cashew chicken, spring rolls, and fried dumplings, delivered. The delivery was very fast, and the food was hot. The dumplings were burned, and the dough was very thick. The spring rolls were quite crispy, but the inside was pretty unflavorful. The vegetables that came with the chicken were not bad, but the chicken itself had an awful aftertaste. I had to pick it all out and just eat the veggies. Sauce with the chicken was meh. Lots of cashews, though, which is nice. I will definitely not be ordering from here again. Perhaps they were just having a bad day, but none of my items were very good at all. read more
