Max's Restaurant

One of the great chicken restaurants that have been around for a long time now and have many branches across the Metro. Their signatured Max's Fried Chicken is their pride in which the chicken looks dry and tasteless in appearance but one you dig in you will discover the unique taste of it with. Their Lechon Kawali is also awesome but the Pancit Canton is bland, Chowking's version is better and cheaper. The caramel bar is good and for veggie lovers they have the Lumpiang Ubod. The Sizzling Tofu is the stand-out dish here. You will probably ignore this when selecting the food on the menu but you got to try this one for only P199.00.

As an old-time diner of this resto back in their heydays in Quezon City, I grew up with the thought of dining in Max's is synonymous to feel good food. Of course, the star of the feast will be their unique fried chicken, which is so delicious. Second to that will be their Pancit Canton. The recent experience in this branch is unfortunately, very disappointing. The fried chicken which was served to us, had the trace of overused cooking oil. The texture was simply different. Gone is the classic and I felt so sad. The Pancit Canton is another letdown for me and my hubby. The one that we're so used of having in this resto has the hint of sesame oil, with the noodles cooked just right. This one was overcooked, flavor is bland, and the only "sahog" that we saw are a few strands of cabbage and that's all. Getting out of the door, my heart is crying for this should not be the case. The house that fried chicken built is slowly deteriorating because of inconsistency in the quality of their legacy - Fried Chicken and Pancit Canton.

Good food served fast. I liked how chill and cozy this branch was. The ambience was great and the staff were attentive--overly attentive to a fault that they consistently asked how our food was. It's a bit of a hassle entering here though since the road fronting it is pretty much clogged up, not unless you're coming from the side of Ortigas Ext. I really loved their sizzling tofu, as it paired well with their combo meals. And for those who couldn't get off from their phones, the WiFi is pretty fast here.
