When you're eager to sit down for freshly prepared Philippine cuisine in a casual, comfortable and family-friendly restaurant, spend some quality time at
Max's of Manila in Jersey City, New Jersey.
In 1945, the first Max's restaurant opened its doors in Manila. Currently part of a global franchise chain of eateries, this Newark Avenue branch offers neighborhood locals and visitors traditional Filipino flavors.
Enjoy some Southeast Asian food culture while you dine in one of two levels of space.
To truly appreciate native dishes, sample a few a la carte items.
Or pick one of their family-style prix fixe options for a delicious spread of Philippine cuisine—plenty for everyone at your table. Your food items will vary, depending on the prix fixe choice you select.
And of course, you must not miss their house specialty—fried chicken. With a tag line of "The house that fried chicken built," Max's is indeed known for this menu item, made using a special family recipe.
While you're indulging your taste buds, try a couple of popular treats.
Traditionally, Buko Pandan contains strings of coconut meat, flavorless gelatin, condensed and evaporated milk, pandan extract and sugar. A scoop of ice cream and a sprinkling of pinipig (crispy puffed glutinous rice) top Max's version.
Refresh with a tall glass of Sago at Gulaman, which translates to "tapioca pearls and agar-agar".
And delicious Filipino food isn't the only thing you'll find at Max's. Should you fancy one of the framed paintings that grace the walls, check the price next to each one, and let a staffer know you're interested. Perhaps you'll leave with a full belly and a beautiful memento of your dining experience.
