Reviews for Max's Restaurant, Cuisine of the Philippines, Bloomfield in Jersey City, NJ

Family style dishes. Everything was flavorful. Nice dinning room and staff was very courteous. No beer/wine sold here. There is... a parking lot right next door. Read more

We came from Virginia. The parking is Horrible. The environment was nice. Friendly staff and its a double level restaurant sit... down. The chicken was nice and crispy and also the lechon kawali. I did not like the sisig or the pancit canton. The tastelacked the flair of authenticity. I have to admit tho that family size Halo Halo was my favorite. The price for $35 with allthat yummy mixture and huge scoops of ice cream was worth every cent. Read more

Food is delicious, I am looking forward to our next visit. Their famous chicken is a MUST!

Chicken skin was super crunchy.The pansit is also good.Lechon kawali sisig has too much oil and taste like adobo.Fresh lumpia... was good as well. Read more

The only issue I’d say is parking is a huge issue for parties. Otherwise this establishment is excellent. The food is better... here then their Bloomfield location, every single dish came out in a timely matter— and the staff is great! Read more

Like a home cooked meal! Food hit the spot. Everything was delicious. We were making the yummy sounds as we ate. We were a party... of four and we shared chicken skin (it was hot and crispy) my daughter loved it over rice. We shared Nilagang baka (beef soup),Sinigang baboy (pork tamarind soup), and lechon kawali (friend pork) over white rice. Please see our photos. The service wasoutstanding. They made sure our waters were always filled. We asked questions about the menu and they were very kind andhelpful. For dessert we shared ube ice cream and turon ala mode. We had left over and took it to go. We were pleased witheverything. The bill was about $100 with tip and worth every penny. Will be back for sure. Read more

This delicious Philippine restaurant surprised me by its authenticity. I have been to many but this one had calamansi juice, a... lime that has a taste similar to an orange who met a lime and had a baby. They even have banana ketchup, if you haven't had itwill change the ketchup game for you forever. It was delicious, we also had the fried lumpia as an appetizer, crispy goldencrust with a pork mixture seasoned to perfection. As main courses we got the Kare-Kare, a beef stew in peanut broth. The meatwas fall apart tender and it had fresh vegetables mixed in. The only thing is I would add some salt as it was a bit bland, notlike the crispy pork belly, the other main course chosen. It was tender, juicy, fatty and super crispy, just thinking about itis making my mouth salivate. It comes with a sweet brown tamarind sauce and fermented shrimp sauce (a classic sauce that addssaltiness and umami flavor to food once you get past the strong smell). We got the garlic rice and it was fried garlic mixedwith white rice. So delicious. As a way to end the meal we had the halo halo, the shaved ice was chunky but the mix ins wereperfect. Halo halo means mix mix and its a variety of sweet beans, fruit, custard, ice cream, gelatin, condensed milk and cannedfruit. So yummy, lets say the person who accompanied me has been mind blown and now loves halo halo. Read more

This Filipino restaurant (a popular restaurant chain in the Philippines) offers authentic food and beverages. Clean and... decorative dining area with an upstairs dining room which is great for larger groups. I always place takeout orders by phone(early afternoon on a weekday) and my order is accurate. Whomever I speak to is pleasant and repeats my order back to me alongwith an estimated pick-up time. Meals are a bit expensive, but taste delicious. Parking is definitely a challenge and therestaurant entrance is handicap accessible. Read more
