Max's Restaurant Houston, Cuisine of the Philippines

Rob the Traveler Eats 3 months ago

As Estonians, we go through this area frequently mostly to get to the Medical Center sometimes go watch a Texans game. Today we decided to hit MAX‘s. This restaurant looked pretty empty at the beginning, but as I looked at the clock, it was about 5 PM and around six. It started getting busy. Our server was very courteous and kind. He took our orders and read them back to us. We had the staple chicken, which is very juicy and crispy. I would recommend getting a whole chicken taking the rest home. This is Family style so be ready for that. The garlic rice is very garlicky in the Lumpia was great. We will definitely come back. I was hoping that they would have karaoke they should have it every day.

Service – 0⭐️ Food Quality – 0⭐️ 05/25 My online order was scheduled for pickup at 5:15 PM based on the SMS confirmation I received. However, I ended up waiting an additional 35 minutes before finally receiving my order. What made this even more disappointing was that there were only 2 occupied tables in the entire dining area at the time. Food feedback: • Sinigang na Baboy – The meat was extremely hard and chewy, and the soup did not have the authentic sinigang taste we expected. We ended up not eating it. • Kare-Kare – The meat was so tough it was almost impossible to eat. Unfortunately, we also ended up not eating this dish. (Also the crispy pata) • Pancit – The flavor was acceptable, but the vegetables did not taste fresh. • Max’s Chicken – The chicken still tasted good as expected. However, I requested for it to be cut, and the crew informed me they could no longer do it because it had already been packed. Considering the 35-minute delay, there should have been enough time to accommodate such a simple request. • Rice – The quality was disappointing and not what I would expect from Max’s. I hope management takes this feedback seriously. Both the service and food quality

If you’re craving authentic Filipino comfort food, Max's Restaurant is a reliable go-to that brings a taste of home right to the city. Located among other Filipino stores, the restaurant sits in a little hub that instantly feels familiar to anyone missing Pinoy culture. From the moment you walk in, the warmth of Filipino hospitality is evident—the staff are friendly, welcoming, and very attentive throughout the meal. They offer value deals like Easter combo meals at a good price, though we skipped it caure I was craving specific favorites. The menu delivers all the classics, and the spread doesn’t disappoint. Dishes like lumpiang shanghai are crispy and savory, sinigang na baboy has that perfect tangy, comforting broth, and pancit canton is flavorful and well-balanced. The lechon kawali stands out with its crunchy skin and tender meat, while staples like adobo and binagoongan bring rich, bold flavors that hit the spot. Even the adobo rice ties everything together, making the meal deeply satisfying—exactly what you’d want when you’re missing home-cooked Filipino food. Ablnd of course, MAX's Chicken. Portions are very “Pinoy style”—just right for one to two people per dish, makin

Wow, great Filipino food and a nice clean and beautifully modern decorated place. I had the pork skewer lunch special with the garlic rice, it comes with pancit Bihon. It was so delicious. The dipping sauce had a nice, strong but not overpowering, citrus flavor I'm going to have to try may other dishes now that I know how good it is. I also tried the buko fruit salad (coconut jelly with fruits and topped with vanilla ice cream. Well worth it. The portion was perfect, I when you a little of that garlic rice she pancit. You will not be disappointed, whether you love Filipino food or haven't tried it yet.

Nice service. But the parking dirty. Has animal feces everywhere near the entrance to the restaurant. Customer accidentally stepping on it. Restaurant is clean. But please maintain a clean entrance area outside. Shoutout to Nacy for her exceptional Service. Till next time.
