A Taste of the Philippines Since 1945, in the Bay Area Since 1982.

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.

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 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.

Had lunch from here 2 days ago, genuinely enjoyed it so much I was just as happy ordering for lunch again today!
First time getting a meal here, I had the Max’s platter and I was thoroughly pleased — chicken was still warm and crispy and pancit canton was flavorful and a bit saucy how I’d like (most to-go pancit tends to lean toward dry).
Today I had the longanisa breakfast and it was so nice to have what felt like a home cooked meal in the middle of my work day. Sweet savory sausage, some runny eggs, and garlic rice, couldn’t have asked for more. As a fellow Filipina, thank you Max’s for bringing a piece of home to my day. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Filipino food from here is so yummy and so consistent! Large portions too. I love their Bangus Sisig (Crispy Boneless Milkfish Sisig) the most!
