"As a Filipina who has been living in the United States for five years, I recently had my first experience at Max in the U.S. and it truly reminded me of home. There were a few areas that could use improvement; for instance, the soup should be served piping hot, as mine arrived lukewarm. Additionally, it would be better to serve the dishes all at once rather than one by one, especially for smaller tables. I had a reservation around 7 PM, but I was disappointed to find that they had run out of a few items I was looking forward to since I drove all the way from Westchester. Despite these setbacks, my overall experience was good. The service was attentive and the staff were courteous."
