I am half Filipino and absolutely love Filipino food. I am not as talented as my mom though, and cannot cook so I don't often get to eat Filipino foods since she lives 4 hours away.
I was in the area and had to come to Max's. The pork sinigang was amazing. Be careful for the chilli though!! I ate one thinking it was a bean and almost died.
The place was jam packed on a Friday night. They need more servers though, because it was quite slow, even before the patrons started filling the place up while we were eating. For instance when I ate the chilli, my friend had to go up to the counter to get water because the waiter brushed me off. It was an emergency!
My friends hadn't tried Filipino food before and really enjoyed the bifstek, beef sinigang, and garlic rice. The portions were nice too and we had some to take home.
I got an order of lumpia shanghai to take home. Definitely not as good as my mom's but there were tasty. Much better fresh from the kitchen though.
