[@mjerome1457]

I like how he respectfully served his friend first!! 💯👊🏾

[@casinocasino1260]

@Andrew Rumsey greedy af hahaha

[@rhmad263]

@JL truly a man who represents all ethnic groups 👍🤗💯

[@ktesha65]

Square Business!!

[@larrycollado77]

Thanks for representing Filipino cousin. I know it's underrated to many cultures. I support for those who represent our food culture.

[@carltaylor5251]

I'm getting hungry just looking at that. You have so much variety to choose from. And that garlic rice and the skewers. The soup and fried fish but above all the chicken. Thats the reason why here in the first place. It doesn't get any better than this. Please keep up the good work. Your facial expression is priceless.

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

I love traditional foods of the Philippines. One of my favorite is adabo and limpia. JL, I pretty much felt you were Cambodian were I saw you. Having lived in Philly a few years and worked with the Cambodian Community in South Philly I really began to appreciate Cambodian food as one of my Asian favorites. I hope you do a Cambodian restaurant one day.

[@aaronbarton227]

*adobo *lumpia

We are distance cousin’s 🇱🇦🇰🇭🇵🇭🇹🇭 notice how we all red, blue & white!!!

[@maritesgarcia503]

Omg, you’ve made me grave for Max’s food! You are so contagious! I loved it 😍

[@Mr-Orange-X]

My favorite food in the world. I am a born American who has never set foot in the Philippines 🇵🇭. But Adobo. Ponset. Etc. 🥹so damn good.

[@thebookreader287]

Pancit. :)

[@mateobaysa2055]

JL, I am Pinoy, and you are Khmer.... we are from the region of Southeast Asia, a place to go if you love flavors. BTW, I find Khmer's cuisine luscious.

[@amandaprum6046]

You should do a tour in Long Beach , California for all the Cambodian foods?

[@ll4680]

As a Filipino myself Maxs is waaaay too overpriced and not as good in the US then it is in the Philippines. I'm glad to see your take on it.

[@eljefe5573]

Yeah so true

[@joannaazar7396]

True 💯

[@wikolia2486]

True, I think they use store bought frozen lumpia’s doesn’t taste right 🫤

[@humorpotamus]

I'm not crazy about the one in Bloomfield. I heard the one in Jersey City is better. I've never been to the one in JC. I actually miss the old East West buffet. I also miss the Little Quiapo in the plaza next to East West.

[@warrenwilson70]

Another great video. That food looked so good I just wanted to come through the screen.

[@inspectorsunday]

The chicken is very simple. Highlights the flavor and texture of a fried chicken. I like how JL is the conductor and leads the symphony of flavor. Legend for the succession bites of flavors in the end of the video. Karaoke 😂

[@Kampala_Harris]

The portions look generous ❤

[@introhype]

When JL sings, you know it's good.

[@pamelawhitten9385]

Yessss

[@joannaazar7396]

Exactly

[@yoandreee]

[@georgesanders343]

I'm fascinated withe the garlic rice......hmmmm GarlicRice, ...interesting🤔. All of the dishes looked good. Thanks JL, 'brotha'.

[@kalilove8153]

Another good one JL!!! I hope the next time you try Filipino food you try Kare-Kare with bagoong if you haven't already! Max's reminds me of my Tatay(grandfather)! He LOVED Max's and when we moved to the U.S. it was one of the restaurants we would go to once a week so he could get his fix! Seeing this made me think of those fond memories!

[@5.0foxbody8]

Filipino food is waaaay underrated

[@edwardjordan3801]

And I live in Chicago my brother you need to come here we're glad to meet you love you and your family

[@bluecollarscholarmelrosepa5673]

Hello in Chicago ILLINOIS 😉....saying hello from Melrose Park Illinois 🇺🇸

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Great selection of Philippino cooking. I've had very good Phillipino food at several restaurants in Queens, NY & in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area. Some very distinct flavors with a lot of regional specialty dishes! It seems that Max's is more mainstream, catering to the American/Filipino population!

[@ladygreer9323]

Hello JL. Happy Friday... Everything on this tablet looks delicious 😋 Oh wow. I haven't had good Philippine food.. Oh this looks so good... Enjoy n have a great weekend.. ❤️😋🐞

[@jerickalegarbes6906]

[@nivrerabliv759]

Max is a restaurant not a fast food here in the Philippines. And it's an expensive restaurant here in the Philippines. Thanks guys for trying Filipino dishes. I appreciate it so much aa a Filipino..

[@allabored4443]

[@nikip9161]

Looks delicious, you can wrap it up and bring it all home!! Maybe an extra order of garlic rice to go. 🤗👍

[@6780863]

I am a long time lover of Max's. This is a situation where you have gone to the second location. They may be good. However, they don't measure up to the original and first location. Pleeeease visit the original location in Jersey City. And try the Crispy Pata and the shrimp fried rice!

[@WilliamKShank]

Everything looked AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS especially the Fried Chicken! 😋🤤😋🤤😋 Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

[@IBtrollinyoufool]

[@keioboysakurai]

If you didn't mention it, i also thought you're Filipino! 🤭 but just the same, thank you trying out Max's. Hope you'd get to try more homecooked Filipino food. I'd be curious how you'd think of them 😊

[@paulenne2024]

You do look Filipino a little bit - your facial structure and your eyes. Thanks for appreciating our food even though it's expensive.

[@reginaldjohnson9289]

Lol 🤣😂🤣😂 You started to sing when you ate the skewer… it must be fire 🔥

[@oswaldjaudon3040]

I had the pleasure one year of having Asian cuisine in South Carolina and Savannah. I was taken dear by my cousin his wife who she is Filipino. She told me Ozzie all the other Asian food is good but but the Filipino food is better. I had no idea what I was in for but I was loving it. Let's up my Filipino people.

[@leoqueen300]

👁 👁 👄 Hey JL I am in Maplewood 15 minutes away from there I will check them out thanks👍🏾😊

[@Henyo1070]

Max’s started as a chain of fried chicken restaurants in the Philippines back in the 1940s. Over the years it grew populat because of it’s Filipino style fried chicken which is crispy outside without the breading and juicy on the inside. In the early 2000’s it started to acquire other restaurants under the Max’s group. Today it is one of the most successful restaurant group of companies which owns other other popular food chains including pancake house, Yellow Cab Pizza teriyaki boy, Dencio’s, Jamba Juice, Kabisera, Le Couer de France and even the Philippine franchise of Krispy Kreme.

[@alexrubio62]

I always know it's great food when you start singing!!! :)

[@catrinabradley7113]

That looks so good! If I was there, I would help you eat all that food! 😃😃 But I'm sure you guys can handle it with no problem!

Glad to see your using a spoon.. 😁 😁

You look like you're really enjoying yourself! 😂😂 It's great to see your friends who don't mind spending money and paying for the food just like you do!

[@rvotbeats]

Damn they got a Max's in Houston I have never been to lol thanks for the reminder and visual 😋

[@michaelupchurch3779]

My brothers wife is from Pillpines and yes those egg roll rolls that they make is phenomenal

[@Tecuexe415]

I live out Daly City CA aka Little Manila and ive seen that spot around here. I barely just had jollibees and now i gotta check this spot out. Nothing but love for my Pin@y fam

[@mariaclaradelossantos398]

First time seeing your vid and I thought you were Fil-Am too. lol! To be fair, I also get those "is she one of us" from other southeast asians here in Melbourne, Australia. Max's is a chain restaurant in the Philippines.

[@potatocultivator621]

My mom always brings me longanisa, tapa, and that bbq from NYC every time they come visit me. I love being Filipino and I love Filipino Food!

[@zaratutsirol5391]

11:29 now try babana catsup mix with a little worcestershire sauce

[@esteban45guapo2]

Nakakagutom manood. 😂😂😂

[@elaineclemons6021]

I've spent a lot of time in the Philippines on mission trips. I love most of their food.

[@gailsiangco5599]

JL you are at an authentic filipino foods restaurant .It is popular in San Diego where I live ! They are known for their fried chicken ! Yummy Goodness !

[@PKCEBC]

We have one near San Francisco, CA. Makes me wanna try it now.😮

[@44JAHSON]

JL u a Filipino now! We claiming you as Pinoy 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@virgilsantaclara]

Oh Wow , sooo many things to say ,,,, Big Löve from Berlin Agape

[@rdu239]

Standard must try at Max's aside from their signature roast chicken are the crispy pata, lumpiang shanghai, sizzling tofu and pancit canton. If you are on a budget I suggest simply ordering one or two variant of a dish as their combo meals may not satisfy you if you have a decent appetite

[@staceeellis9433]

Looks like you have the whole phillipeon Thanksgiving feast on your table there JL!😋🤣Looks mighty delicious!😋😍👌Better take you a doggy 🐕 bag🎒home! 🏡😄

[@SarahGraham4]

Wow I drive past that place all the time! Now I’m def going to check it out.

[@bashersbeware]

Yup, you did it right. Whenever at Max's, always do the trifekta. Banana catsup, hot sauce and worcesterchire mix. Only way to enjoy Max's fried chicken.

[@AJM0201]

Sheesh! JL back at it with the Filipino food 💪

[@dackydok]

On the sinigang, Filipinos usually break the head off then suck on the juices from the shrimp head.. then Max's give out an extra bread plate... that's where you mix the Banana Ketchup with the worcestershire sauce.. then you dip the chicken there

[@adil4627]

Please try Moroccan cuisine next time, it's one of the best in the world.

[@cameronsmith1423]

Any recommendations in the Philly/Jersey Area? Asking for JL and for me

[@SerkleK]

Yes, any recommendations?? I've been looking for places since I stopped there a few years ago.

[@fitzanderson1980]

Good stuff fo sho!!

My man started singing....you got some vocals 👏

[@andrewespina6776]

Yo thanks for the Filipino love! That food looked great!

[@obierol]

Wow, the food is mouth watering, not just the famous fried chicken! Max's Restaurant began operations in the Philippines in 1945, just after World War II. The Max's restaurant in NJ was not established in 1945 - FYI :)

[@kaylaquevedo5774]

Is it me or is ice cube in the back like " yeah u better say this chicken good " or same thing after every bite lol. Nice video 12:02

[@andruw9011]

Views not matching the subscribed. This man needs a million!

[@t0xicichig0]

The soup is called 'Sinigang' it's nice you ordered the shrimp version. Beef and pork version is good too but between those 2 if it would be sinugang go for pork, especially if its with pork belly.

[@solboyhx]

Instantly recognized this plaza before you even put out the address lol I used to go to this plaza quite a bit a few years ago and I remember that filipino buffet. I can see why its not there anymore, but I do remember some of the items were decent

[@kmo2959]

The dipping sauce for the pork bbq is vinegar and garlic, no lemon.

[@yayo4nasal]

JL, just so you know, as long as you support filipino community, WELL ALWAYS HAVE UR BACK! Enjoy brotha! Visit philippines man- the food is 1000xs better than that maxsbetter yet, you can visit the real Maxs BTW that was banana ketchup you were dipping on with the lumpia, and thats garlic vinegar w the bbq pork skewer

[@Briguy1027]

Dang that's a lot of food you guys ordered. It looked yummy though.
