Max Asia Cafe

We have ordered delivery from Max Asia several times now and have never been disappointed. Some other reviewers have complained about delivery times but we have never waited longer than they said it would be. Plus, I like knowing that my food is made to order so I’m willing to wait a few extra minutes for that. We have never had stale food that has obviously been sitting in a pan all day. Our food always comes hot, fresh, and we have never had missing or wrong items.
I am personally less of a fan of their more Americanized items (though those aren’t bad, just what you’d typically expect from any Chinese take-​out place). Their more authentic dishes are definitely on point.
My favorites from here are the pepper calamari, wonton wor soup, indonesian curry noodles and the indonesian fried rice. I’m always tempted to branch out and try their duck or egg foo young but my current go-to’s are so freaking good that I hate to mess with a good thing.

Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Super friendly staff.

Please don’t judge this place because of how it looks when you first walk in that door. I had lunch here with a friend. We had calamari for starters which is quite a bit salty. We ordered house fried rice, beef braised noodle soup, and stir fry shrimp. Everything we ordered was flavorful besides the calamari. Fried rice came out great, the soup was tasty which also had no msg. You can taste the flavors from the beef. It was amazing! The stir fry shrimp was cooked perfectly and veggies were cooked the way I want them. Not too cooked I like my veggies when you here crunch crunch noises as you chew and bite. :)

I’ll give this place 2 stars because unfortunately, I have had worse Chinese food. Granted, it was in WY where the Asian population is –26.
Upon arriving to pick up my order I asked for chili sauce and the lady told me that it doesn’t come with my order and I’d need to change my order to get some. Being that I was already famished from the day I decided against arguing and just paid for my food and left. My order got worse from there. The egg roll is basically a fried lump of mushy cabbage and the sweet and sour sauce nearly glowed in the dark!
I had the shrimp lo mein which was 95% udon noodles and a few shrimp. My husband got the Mongolian beef which was extremely fatty was only half bad as the flavor was only half evident, it seemed almost watered down. Sure would have been better with some chili sauce!

I’ve had better, and I’ve had worse. All of our meals seemed to be better next day. Hot and sour soup was very good.

First time I was here (shortly after they open), food was decent. I am Chinese, I like my food Hong Kong style (not the Americanized Chinese version) I have been back here a few more time whenever I am in the chandler area.
Now the food is lot more Americanized (not necessary bad, just not what I crave for). so I will give them a three star for being average.

I have to say, I was quite disappointed.
I ordered the orange chicken and orange beef. The chicken was soft and not really fired well. The beef was ok. The Orange sauce was the biggest disappointment. Bland, way too sweet and not remotely spicy.
I have seen people complain about delivery times, but they delivered within the time they said they would and the service was fine.
Overall, Subpar.

I’ve had this place bookmarked forever, and I’m so glad they decided to mail out menus. I’ve been keeping that bright yellow menu on the kitchen island to remind me to go check this place out. Finally yesterday, I made it.
I arrived around 11:30 and had the place all to myself for awhile. The woman who took my order at the counter was very gracious and answered my questions about the spice level of a couple of the dishes. I decided to order the po po platter ($ 7.99) which has 2 pieces of each coconut shrimp, potstickers, crab puff, spring roll, and fried wonton. Some of my favorite fried things and they were all delicious. Lightly fried and not greasy at all. I ate half and brought the rest home.
They do have some lunch specials that are $ 5.95 and $ 6.95, but I opted for the Cantonese chow mein, house special with shrimp, chicken, and beef. ($ 9.50) When she brought this dish to the table it was piping hot and the steam off of it smelled fantastic. I sat there with my hot tea and just drank it in. Perfect comfort food for a gloomy, rainy day. As I dug in I enjoyed how tender the meats were and the mild, rich brown sauce. I also really liked the edge of crispy noodles and that they were soft underneath. It was a great lunch all around. Another couple came in and he commented on how good what I was eating looked and smelled.
I brought 2/​3rds of it home and my husband and I enjoyed the leftovers last night. I look forward to a return visit and trying more items on their menu. No complaints. It was a perfect lunch.

Sorry, I’ve eaten Chinese all over country. To be fair I’m going to write this review based on Chinese I’ve eaten in Arizona. Not good! The hot and sour soup is sweet and spicy soup. The Mongolian Beef
was greasy. I dine out, order in, or pick up because I don’t feel like cooking. I hate to say this I could have made something out of a box more tasty and A LOT cheaper. I’ll never eat Max’s again.

I have been ordering from Max for months. Great customer services and delivery Is always fast enough so the food stays fresh. You can tell the meat or the seafood and the vegetables are fresh and tasty. And the Hongkong Style milk tea is AHHHmazing.

I’m glad we returned to eat at Max Asia! They continue to be pleasant, helpful and friendly people. We tried a couple of dishes we knew little about. First we had «King of the Dragon», wonderful tender and moist breaded fish fillets, I believe Swai, in an Asian wine and garlic sauce that I requested be spicy. The sauce was so good, with a nice kick, that I put it on our 2^nd dish as well. Satay Kway Teow, shrimp, chicken, bean sprouts, onions, egg, flat rice noodles, in curry sauce. I’m not crazy about the curry flavor in general so the other sauce helped a lot! If you love curry, this is a fab dish! All of the ingredients tasted fresh, well cooked and seasoned. Even though I didn’t care for the curry flavor (my mistake not looking at the menu description) I feel they deserve a 5 star rating. We will return many times, it’s that GOOD.

First time here. I can’t believe it took me 2 year to find there is a great noodle soup house 3 miles away from where I live. Obviously, they don’t need to advertise. The seem to have 70+ reviews on Unilocal at 4.5 rating.
Order the tomato beef noodle soup and Wonton noodle soup off the Chinese menu, they are very delicious. It’s very traditional Hong Kong foods. There English menu looks too Americanize though.

My boyfriend and I are fans of this restaurant. We often order lunch combo with sesame chicken, white rice, veggies, egg rolls, and egg drop soup. Fantastic food and service. Everything is tasty and hot, all served with a smile.
Tip: For faster service, call the restaurant before you arrive. If you want takeout, you can order the food beforehand online or by phone.

Tried Max Asia Café for the first time this week. Dang it was good. The orange beef had just the right amount of spice, and everyone agreed we would order from here again.
The delivery was timely and food perfectly fresh and hot when it arrived.

Food is a solid 3*s
Another one bonus star for customer service
I’m no Chinese gourmet expert, I’m just saying my tongue likes it okay.
Note: their delivery coverage is pretty extensive

Ordered delivery last night since the I didn’t feel like cooking or leaving the house. The meal was okay but I’m not really sure I’ll order from them again.
Kids got Chichen Lo Mein noodles. Likely the best dish of all of them. It had flavor and veg that all looked really good. Kids ate it right up. We got some house fried rice which was pretty standard. Tasted good and wasn’t too greasy. Hubs got sweet and sour pork. I’m not really a fan but he said it was okay, not great. I got General Tso’s and it was bland. Not even sorta spicy and had almost no sauce on it, which might have played in to the lack of flavor. Also got orange chicken just to try. This had more sauce but was also pretty flavorless. Just not at all what I was expecting.
Highlights of the meal were the crab puffs and egg rolls. Both of these were excellent and they were kind enough to include a cup of hot mustard which, considering how good the egg rolls were, I could kiss them for.
Really, it wasn’t a bad meal. I’m just looking for the place that is my go to. The one that I’d strong arm my husband to order from. I’m still looking for that place.

Proper Cantonese food with some good foreign variants like char kway teow. The egg roll, fried rice, and sweet and sour pork crowd should venture away from familiar territory into the Chinese menu, because this is where this restaurant truly shines. The fried stuffed tofu dish was very tasty, and the bowls of noodles served up are really great, particularly the Hong Kong style wonton noodle soup, with its large shrimp and pork wontons. Legit flavors. Great prices. I really enjoy the cha chaan teng (茶餐廳) atmosphere, it’s much better than that other place in Mesa. Very good, friendly service. This is my go-​to place for comfort food.

My husband and I found this place 2 weeks ago, and have eaten here 5 times since!
This is the best Chinese food in ALL of Arizona.
Family owned, purely authentic and every dish is made with love and passion for food.
If I could give it 7 stars, I would. I have eaten at the top restaurants in 2 countries and this little place is an absolute gem.
Love love love!!!

My first experience had me less than thrilled… I am not a fan of the egg fried rice. Also, the garlic shrimp I had been looking forward to looked nothing like the picture. Well, another night I had a craving for takeout and my husband suggested we try them again. I’m so glad we did! My teriyaki chicken, rice, and miso soup were very good. I like that they use thighs for the teriyaki chicken, but some may not… My husband said it tasted weird lol. I actually liked his order of sesame chicken more. The miso soup was delicious and will be remembered next time I’m under the weather.
It’s a small, family owned place so don’t expect a huge restaurant. However, it’s quiet, cozy, and they also have takeout or delivery ($ 2) if you’re not feeling the environment.

I’ve got to help keep the trend of these awesome reviews going! We decided to go here for lunch with the recommendation of a friend plus the Unilocal reviews and we’re glad we did.
The atmosphere was lovely. It’s a small place with bright orange walls and colorful lanterns. It was clean too. The staff was friendly and very willing to answer questions about the dishes.
The food was very good! We shared some orange chicken and Cantonese fried noodles with bbq pork. We also had two pork egg rolls. Our only complaint was the egg rolls. We were expecting hearty egg rolls with lots of pork. What we got was very tiny egg rolls and that didn’t seem to have any pork in them at all. Its possible they accidentally gave us spring rolls. They were still tasty though.
Even though we live all the way in Maricopa (ugh…) we’ll still make sure we come back. It’ll probably become our go-​to place for some Asian dishes.
