Reviews for Max's Restaurant, Cuisine of the Philippines, Vancouver in Vancouver, BC

Menu was small yet the signature dishes from home (manila) were showcased. Could be more inviting if the temperature of the... dining room is cooler and if it?s way more spacious. The interior could get some love of fresh portraits or lighting. The foodis definitely delicious!! The sizzling tofu omg! Taste like the one we always order back home!!!! Kare-kare is also delicious!(Maybe more meat lol next time! Lol) halo-halo is perfect! Portion, sweetness! Overall experience was outstanding! Ms. Darlene(the manager on duty) was very warm and friendly!!! My expectation food-wise was met tremendousl! ???????? Read more

Been coming over here through the years. Prices have gone high. Good sisig and liempo though! Be prepared to always wait up to... 30mins or so even on slow time for food and the automatic 15% gratuity! Service is friendly! Would recommend occasionally! Read more

This is my fourth time dining in at this restaurant and I do have to say that their filipino food is delicious, well-prepared,... and reminds me of home. But every visit my family and I are disappointed of how slow the service is even during off-peakhours. Another thing is the mandatory tipping, (they do have a sign at the entrance letting you know about this so you do have achoice to dine in or not) but with this I personally expect to receive consistent exceptional customer service.

The food was really good. You get good value on the price. Jenny, Riri, and Terrence were all awesome. We had a great... experience. We will surely recommend to our friends and definitely come back. Read more

My first time trying Philippine Food, so I guess I'll start with the good parts first. The service was excellent. Our server was... very friendly, very happy and always smiling. That's not always the case at restaurants. All the food we ordered tasted great,lots of flavor, and everything arrive quite fast. We also got a couple of Buko Pandan for free since our order was over$50. Now the bad, our chicken was so overcooked that even the leg and thigh was dry. The breast was so dry that we were dippingin the Kare-Kare in order to eat it. For a restaurant that is suppose to specialize in fried chicken, it was disappointing. Theox tail in the Kare Kare was very tough. Ox tail needs to be stewed a long time and these weren't cooked long enough. Mandatorytips at a restaurant has always been a red flag for me. I should have the option to tip more if the service is good and tip lessif the service is poor. I usually don't return to restaurants which has this policy in place. Read more

It?s been awhile since we were back since this whole Covid thing. Our server Riri was very pleasant dealing with and so polite,... no joke. Having to try there version of pork sisig was a new addition to their menu, well done. And having made fresh dishesserved to us was a great touch not like other places that have food that was already cooked awhile ago is good to know that thefood was made fresh. We will be back!!!

My favorite Filipino restaurant even back home. It?s our family tradition to go there when there?s special occasion especially... birthdays. I love their Sizzling Tofu. The inihaw na liempo and pork bbq were a little bit sweet for me.There were times theservice was kinda slow but it?s understandable since they were busy. We?d been keep on coming back here in Vancouver eventhoughI live in Surrey/Langley area. Read more
