Max's Restaurant Balibago Complex — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Food It takes around 15 mins for the food to come out.

Garlic rice - not as garlicky as I would've liked, but good overall. The medium size is exactly good for the 2 of us. 2nd time - Large is too much for 2 people

Regular ½ chicken - Good for 2. The chicken was cooked well, a bit dry. Love the crispy skin. 2nd time - got the whole chicken, drumstick and thigh were cooked just right. However, it's a bit more dry on the breast area. Too much for 2 people. 3rd time - we got the ½ family chicken. It was the exact amount for the 2 of us. It is also the same where the drumstick and thigh are cooked just right, while the breast was drier.

Vegetable Kare-kare - sauce is the right amount of peanut butter, and its sauce consistency is just the right thickness. It consists of a generous amount of vegetables. Best paired with bagoong.

Pinakbet Tagalog - I like the bits of lechon kawali. Veggies were cooked just right.

Tofu Sisig - the tofu was very flavorful. This was too much for 2 people, unless this is the only item you order for your meal.

Ube Scramble - exact ube-ness, a bit more on crushed ice than creaminess. I like the tiny mashmallows, sprinkles, and milk powder on top.

Service 1st: The service staff here are very nice, happy, and accommodating. Really enjoyed our meal here.

2nd: they were a bit understaffed, so the service takes a bit longer

Out go to restaurant but this branch is bit disappointing. Service is very very slow since they lack staff to serve for dine-in customers. The cashier is also their server. We waited for 15mins for our food to be served and unfortunately its not hot when they serve the food. The TOFU con Pork Sisig is also mixed with lots of onions that it overpower the whole dish. Also, the coffee and cake was served first before our lunch which is not the usual or they should have asked me first if I liked it...

We were there for five days for a training. They catered for lunch and two snacks in each day. The food was okay but what really bothered me was the drinking water. The glasses they used to serve the water were very dirty. They also provided a water dispenser at the venue. However, I found out that the water in the dispenser was just tap water. It was very...
