Max's Restaurant Jersey City, Cuisine of the Philippines

Was craving something cold, so grabbed the halo-halo. Hit the spot on a hot day. The mix of beans, fruit, and ice cream was just right.

Been coming here for years. Their fried chicken is still the same crispy, juicy classic that keeps me coming back.

The group dinner platter is the move here. The lamb chops were perfectly charred, and the garlic sauce they serve with it is addictive. We ordered two rounds of it. The rest of the menu is fine, but that platter is the only thing I think about.
