| - Food's a 3. Service is a 4, but glitchy. Price could be much cheaper.
We ordered the Max's basic (garlic rice, 1/4 fried chicken, caramel bar) for $9.99 and the tapsilog (garlic rice, sauced fried sirloin, 2 eggs) for $9.99. We also checked in on Yelp, so we got an ube decadence dessert for free.
Mom's garlic rice was a scoop of rice and a small/medium sized fried chicken leg on a plate. There was a strip of banana leaf as decoration, but other than that, it was a pretty empty looking plate. The chicken was crispy and tasty, but a tad on the dry side. If you're not into batters and breading, this is the fried chicken for you. There was next to no breading/batter on it at all.
My tapsilog was better, but not perfect. They brought me bangus instead of beef the first time, and I quickly told them they got my order wrong. On that plate, I had ordered my eggs sunny side up, and noticed that one of the egg yolks on the plate with bangus had popped. They took the bangus plate back in, apologized, and then a few minutes later, brought out my tapsilog. On this plate, one of the eggs was also popped. One of two things happened. Either their chef isn't the best at making sunny side up eggs, or they just switched out the bangus for the tapsilog and gave me the same used plate. Either way, that's a bit of an issue. The garlic rice was good, as were the eggs, but the beef, while tasty, was salty to the point that I drowned it in vinegar and ate it with copious amounts of rice to mask the salt. It worked, but only to a certain extent.
When the waiter took my plate, he dropped my cutlery and it actually hit me on the way down. Thankfully, none on the Nobis.
On to dessert. No caramel bar. Instead, mom got a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a chunk of leche flan. Score for us, although I'd have rather had a non-vanilla flavor of ice cream. Leche flan was rather dense, but delicious. The ube decadence was not quite decadent. The leche flan was more decadent. It was also not particularly strong on the ube. It looked like a milk pudding topped with chocolate cake crumbs. Inside is ube paste, but the ube paste isn't that bright purple one is accustomed to finding with ube. It's more natural colored and textured. While tasty, I wouldn't order it for its menu price of $4.99.
All in all, while the restaurant was clean and service was good, I've had food of equal quality and service for significantly less than I could get it here, so I won't go out of my way to come again.
