Max's Restaurant

      

       For years, my family and I have been going to the Max’s Restaurant that is located on 1155 El Camino Real in South San Francisco. Until recently, a new Max’s opened up in Milpitas on 1535 Landess Ave. It is open 7 days a week from 11am to 9 pm. Ever since the opening, it has become quite convenient for my family because we like eating there every once in a while and taking relatives that are visiting. Max’s Restaurant is a family friendly Filipino restaurant with a casual atmosphere. If reserved, one could also hold events such as baptisms or small family parties there even though the place itself isn’t that big. As one of the most known Filipino Restaurants in the Bay Area and the Philippines, Max’s Restaurant serves a variety of Filipino foods alongside their famous fried chicken.

       After going to Max’s Restaurant in South San Francisco for a number of years, my family already knows what dishes to order on the menu. So, the first time we went to the new Max’s Restaurant in Milpitas, we basically ordered the same food we had usually gotten at the other location. The order we placed was Max’s Fried Chicken, lumpia, pancit, crispy pata, sisig, steamed rice and Sinigang na tiya ng bangus. In comparison to the other location, the food at the restaurant was pretty much the same. Both places had a reasonable portion of food for every dish. Each plate of food tasted savory and delectable. The lumpia and crispy pata were perfect, crispy on the outside and juicy/meaty on the inside. The sisig was juicy and very flavorful, the fried chicken was big and tasty, and the Sinigang was hot and tasted just like it was home cooked.

       All things considered, I would recommend Max’s Restaurant to others. It is a good place to try out and eat some Filipino food if you are around Milpitas. But, if you are looking for a cheap take-out place for Filipino food, I would not recommend it because it is a little bit more expensive. Max is a nice casual restaurant where one could take their family or relatives or friends to on any sort of occasion. Most of the food portions are pretty reasonable for what you pay for the food. All in all, I would give Max’s Restaurant a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars just in comparison to Yelp’s rating of 2.5 out of 5 star rating. One of the reasons behind this is because I think that the service and food is pretty good. The servers are pretty attentive to your needs and are pretty good at following up on requests. The food on the other hand is a bit expensive but rather tasty.
