The crowd is very friendly, the staff is very accommodating and the Filipino food is AWESOME!!! What a perfect place to bring visiting family and friends to get together and experience the mouth watery tastes of Filipino cuisine in the island of Hawai'i.
The food and service at Max’s restaurant was outstanding
Very good, it’s got to be the best place for lunch and dinner.
Spectacular experience. Here visiting my girlfriends family and I can't wait on come back! The staff is incredible and the food is fantastic.
We always eat at Max's when we come to Hawaii. There was a big party today so we expected a long wait. Nope, we were seated in 5min. Ordered a few min after sitting and waited 5min for our food to come out. It was all nice a hot. There was 8 of us in our group so I was really impressed on the service, speed and freshness of out food. The employees were very friendly.
I love the Crispy Pata and the rest of the family gets they're usual home cooked Filipino food. If you like Filipino cuisine or just want home cooked food like we do then you can't go wrong at Max's.
Delicious and authentic Filipino food. Beautiful restaurant very busy. A must try if you're in the area.
One of my favorite food - is Filipino food! On Valentine's Day, my husband and I decided to take our family out instead of just the two of us to Max for a family date night. Our girls couldn't attend because they already had plans. Max's is always packed! We dined in and were seated at the corner - my hubby, myself, my baby sister, and my niece. It was only the 5 of us, but we were there to feast! The service was excellent, never had to ask for refills, and we did not wait long for our food, given how busy they were.
When our family got sick with Covid, Max's was our place to order soup and all the food from.
It is a little on the pricey side, but it is worth it if you don't want to cook. Our bill was $270 including the $35 gratuity added on by the server for a party of 5.
We will come back again, and again!
This restaurant is also a famous restaurant even back home in the Philippines. They serve Filipino food and their specialty is actually their chicken menu (fried, roasted, etc.) but they added other famous Filipino cuisines to their menu, even back home. It is a good restaurant for foreigners who are interested in trying Filipino food. Don't forget to eat halo-halo since it's a staple must-have in any Filipino restaurant. The servers speak Filipino to those who miss speaking the mother tongue. They accept local and foreign credit cards.
Great tasting food. Authentic filipino flavor. Fresh ingredients. Very friendly staff. Eating here makes you feel you’re in the Philippines. Price is very affordable.
Filipino Food was ono! We had sweet tender pork adobo, tasty pansit, healthy chicken palia soup, sweet potato leaf salad & rice. Dessert was fun, nice presentation of their halohalo treat with the little umbrella. Their banana lumpia with ube and macupono icecream made it a sweet memory too. Nice place, clean, large open tables. Perfect for family gathering or office event. Cheerful and helpful service. My regards to their chefs💕
I never thought my boyfriend gonna propose to me in front of all our parents 🥰 and it's inside my favorite restaurant!!! Good Filipino food as always - Max's Restaurant, it's like we never left Philippines. Christmas-themed the inside, good quality customer service, Fast they're servings. We went there right when they open cause usually there is a line already 10:30am
If you love Filipino food then this is one of the place to go to, We here for the Halo-Halo although the ingredients are most from can goods not fresh fruits unlike in the Philippines. We like the fried chicken, spaghetti and Crispy pata.
A famous Filipino chain restaurant that serves traditional Filipino dishes. If you want authentic taste and flavor then this place to dine in. Great selection, service is a bit slow but food is tasty.
There were six of us for dinner last night. Service was quick and efficient. The Kare Kare was very good along with the garlic fried rice, Bicol express, chicken, and crispy pata. The fresh lumpia was stale as if the ingredients were left out all day, the palabok had very little sauce and almost no taste. The sinigang ng bangus was good but could have been better. Our server Raquel was very professional and courteous. Max must improve their dishes in order to remain competitive.
Service was a definite 5. Lechon Kawali Sisig pieces was a little to big. Max fried chicken was a bit on the dry side, lucky there was ketchup to give it some moisture.
If you are looking for Filipino dishes to eat max is the place to go. Max has a wide variety of appetizers,dishes,beverages and desserts to choose from. They have family deals in the back of the menu or just order individually. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating.

This is the right place for those who misses the filipino food made traditionaly by filipino chefs. They also serve catering and event program just in time to have a get together with my friends and relatives for my coming birthday celebrations. Not pricey and super affordable. I usually order in advance wether dine in or take out. Very convenient and easy parking on a private lot right beside it. Max's Waipahu is situated along the highway. Kare-kare and crispy pata are my legendary favorites.
Staff are very fast, friendly and attentive. Its very neat and tidy. Food is tasty and awesome. We came here for a graduation party this time, i did not had any food picture. We always come here for Filipino comfort food, like Sinigang, crispy pata, lechon, chicken and many more. Theres a lot of parking. Covid protocols are strictly follows, thet provided you a wristband after you showed your vaccination card and ID.
Always is a pleasure coming here, when my mother doesn't feel like cooking the whole Filipino family shpeal on a relaxing holiday, we'll come here for some of my usual favorites, my recommendations is: sinigang, Da'ing na bangus, for those who like Boba or anything bubble tea related...I suggest...Sa'got gulaman, and for dessert... The Halo Halo Special.
