We visited Max's of Manila and overall had a great experience.
Parking is valet only, which is convenient but something to keep in mind when planning your visit. Might get busy so plan ahead. Space is big so it may get loud and cramped.
We ordered the whole fried chicken, sinigang na baboy, pancit canton, and rice. It was a lot of food for two people, honestly closer to a portion for three. That said, the chicken itself is on the smaller side, so you might still find yourself finishing it.
Everything we ordered was delicious. The sinigang had that perfect balance of sour and savory, and the pancit canton was flavorful and satisfying. As for the fried chicken, there is just something about it that stands out. It is simple but incredibly good. The only downside is that you wish there was more of it.
Service was great and fairly quick, even during a busy time.
Overall, a solid spot when you are craving classic Filipino comfort food. We will definitely be back when the craving for Max's hits again.
