[@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.

[@eljefe6013]

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.

[@IBtrollinyoufool]

You gotta try the ones in L.A.

[@larrycollado77]

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

[@mrorangeDenver]

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. :)

[@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.

[@amandaprum6046]

Filipino food is waaaay underrated

[@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

[@yoandreee]

we need more Filipino food on this channel

[@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 😂

[@edwardjordan3801]

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

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

[@kamienaughton5964]

It’s the singing for me😂

[@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!

[@erato99]

Haven’t caught your videos in a minute. Glad to see you’re still doing it. This place looks solid.

[@zlatans.manbun8269]

You know it's good when the skewers make you sing.

[@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!

[@introhype]

When JL sings, you know it's good.

[@pamelawhitten9385]

Yessss

[@pamelawhitten9385]

[@joannaazar7396]

Exactly

[@joaquincalvar1524]

NOICE JL 😂 good for you and Filipino food being featured on your channel. I’m Filipino myself and a fan good eating!…😊

[@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!

[@georgesanders343]

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

[@lrm...8340]

[@allabored4443]

That garlic rice looks good!

[@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..

[@ChamP10nk1ng]

Good GaWd !! What DIDN'T look short than amazing ??!! #1. Lumpia rules ! #2. The garlic rice looked magestic. #3. Pork skewers rawk! #4. The fried chicken seals the deal !!! #5. Yes! Filipino BBQs are the BESTEST!

Dang, i haven't watched anything with Chluy for the longest time. He's looking great!

[@paulenne2024]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@nikip9161]

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

[@WilliamKShank]

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

[@IBtrollinyoufool]

You guys making me wanna wake up my Mom so she can cook me some of this stuff!

[@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 :)

[@chrisbautista9232]

You are one of us! Asian for life. Food brings us together.

[@kmo2959]

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

[@alexrubio62]

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

[@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 😊

[@nataliecruz1280]

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

[@leoqueen300]

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

[@elaineclemons6021]

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

[@Queenofsole100]

Just had some Jollibee last night. In the D.C area there are a lot of Phillipino restaurants. Manilla Mart being one of my favorites 😍

[@potatomatop9326]

Imagine being caught, chopped, drained, seasoned, fried and still getting back up to build a house. Props to the chicken.

[@virgilsantaclara]

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

[@leovinoclavel6154]

Glad to see your using a spoon.. 😁 😁

[@jayr1014]

Hellyah. Mang thank you. Pinoy pride baby!

[@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

[@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.

[@Kampala_Harris]

The portions look generous ❤

[@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 !

[@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

[@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!!

[@michaelupchurch3779]

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

[@dees4896]

It's the Ice cube shirt for me! 🤣

[@justauryon]

So glad to watch you cover some food from the motherland.🇵🇭 You didn’t order too much, that just means you got breakfast/lunch for tomorrow. 😂 Especially that garlic rice? Just throw a fried egg on top & have some leftover BBQ or other meat with that (hello chicken or pork adobo) & you’re set. And yeaaah, lumpia shanghai is crack. Sinigang is the best soup to have when sick especially. Can be a lil tart & or spicy but you’ll have no problem tasting it for when you have bad cold/flu. 😩 PS, you’re not wrong for having pancit with rice. Enjoy our food how you want to! It’s not a Filipino plate until you think it’s too much food 🤣

[@rvotbeats]

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

[@jenmills5081]

You gotta try Chella’s Arepa Kitchen in Lancaster, Pa. Best food in Lancaster county.

[@AJM0201]

Sheesh! JL back at it with the Filipino food 💪

[@ToddBangz]

Love your content bro. Come to Greensboro NC. Let’s connect.

[@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.

[@paulsom7536]

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

[@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!

[@Drucio1]

Lol there was a old FIlipno buffet there... but yeah the Max's chicken was an improvement lol

[@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

[@kdnofyudbn5918]

Thank you I will check this out!

[@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

What does race have to do with people falling in love? This is such a weird, warped thing to ask. And if you don’t see 2 different races coming together then maybe you need to touch more grass and get out of your local surrounding a bit more often.
