Filipino restaurant in Bloomfield carrying a restaurant chain name in Philippines. Good food. Limited parking. We went on Tuesday when it was only for takeout. Accepts credit/debit card. See images for reference.

First time going to this Max’s we usually go to JC but that location was getting renovated. We were greeted nicely as we entered. A table was cleaned and setup for us. Our server Ashley unfortunately was not very attentive. I had to literally yell across the room to get her attention. Secondly the Kare Kare was a rip off we literally got 4 of the smallest oxtails in the serving. The pineapple juice was very good and so was the fresh lumpia it was delish. The Lumpia Shanghai was great too. Restaurant was well kept and restrooms were clean. Hope Ashley gets training on how to better serve her guest. Also hope their Kare Kare has nice size oxtails the next time we visit.

Max's is a chain of international Filipino-cuisine restaurants with multiple locations in the US, Canada, the Middle East and, of course, the Philippines. We are blessed that there is one nearby in Jersey! The authentic food and authentic service (i.e. extraordinarily friendly) make this place worth a visit. Food was brought out to my birthday party of ten promptly and served family-style: Deep plates of entrees are set before you and everybody serves themselves from it. We ordered the following and each is certainly recommendable: - Max's fried chicken, their signature dish served with fries - Sinigang na Baboy - pork and veggies in a tamarind broth - Tofu Sisig - a vegetarian riff on the Filipino sizzling pork dish - Lechon Kawali - deep fried pork belly - Pancit palabok - rice noodles in a shrimp and pork sauce - Kare-kare - Beef and veggies in a peanut sauce - Pancit Bihon - fried noodles with chicken, shrimp and pork - Turon - Bananas fried in a crispy wrapper, served with caramel sauce - Halo-halo - "A blend of refreshing tropical fruit preserves, beans, and milk in shaved ice. Topped with a delicious scoop of Ube (purple yam) ice cream, flan, and rice flakes." The servers

Decided to dine here at Max since its been a long time since we ate at a Filipino Restaurant and plus we really needed to do some Asian Grocery shopping and this was right next to East West Market. There was a bit of a wait finding a space to park but we got seated right away as soon as we entered the restaurant. Staff was pleasant, polite and got our orders correctly. For the food, we got half of the fried chicken which had good flavor and was crispy. The fries was very enjoyable too as it was fried to perfection! We also got the lechon kawali. It had good flavor, good crunch but i think i may have had better. It was quite good with the garlic rice! Same with the Daing na bangus. Its was okay by itself but flavor got better when paired with the atchaea and the vinegar. Our favorite that day was the Shrimp Sinigang. Lots of flavor! Portion was good and it was just so hearty and delicious! Enjoyed all but my husband mentioned he wouldve wanted the orders hot instead of warm; Especially since we came in during winter season. We really had an enjoyable meal; Remembering all these delicious Pinoy Eats. Was the food really good or was it good because its been a while we havent had it?

The food is good for the soul. Delightful Filipino food. The only thing was the wait and the restaurant only had two servers which made the wait slightly longer than usual. Other than that my tummy was absolutely satisfied ! I love that they have family specials that have a few dishes that can feed 4-5 people at such a great price.
