Chicken Sisig (Sizzling Chicken with Mayo & Citrus)
This is the most bland food I have ever tasted! Both the Pork Adobo (Soy-Garlic Braised Pork) and the Pork Sisig (Crispy Sizzling Pork) are flavorless. The portion is not as much as the other Filipino restaurant I order at, for the price . I don't know if I would order from here again if they don't event use salt.

The pork adobo was tasty but the portion was quite small (only 4-6oz) with very little sauce and accompanied only with plain rice. For the price point of $17 more is expected. It's not a good value, especially compared to others.

Both the Kare-Kare (Beef Meat in Peanut Stew & Vegetables) and Dinuguan (Savory Pork Stew) were under seasoned, watered down, and the meat chewy. Not on par with the quality from the other locations in South SF and Daly City. I was excited to find it on DoorDash since we don't have enough Filipino offerings in the city, but won't be ordering again.

The sinigang and garlic rice are good! The soup had fresh veggies- evidenced by the crunch of the green beans. I just wish the meat pieces were a bit bigger, it didn't seem worth it for sinigang in the $30+ range. (I recently ordered kare kare from Fort McKinley and while they give sliced vertebrae [back then I remember restaurants used to give the whole vertebrae] there seemed to be more meat-to-soup ratio. The garlic rice was perfect with sliced garlic pieces.
Max's is a Filipino institution, so definitely DoorDash or eat there if you can. You can't go wrong with any of the food, but if you're a newbie, try their fried chicken and pork sisig first.
