This place has been around for years and years. It's the perfect place for when you just feel like good chinese food. It's not too fancy, but it's tasty. I ordered the takeaway kung pao chicken with rice and mongolian beef with rice. I would have liked perhaps a bit more of the stir fry and a bit less rice, but otherwise it's good. It never disappoints.
This place is an institution in the essendon area and surrounds. It's your local Chinese restaurant but just a little bit fancy. The interior is exactly what you'd expect: lots of round tables and some booths along the side, all covered in crisp white table clothes. The dishes are superb also, with the duck pancakes, Mongolian beef, Cantonese steak, combination birds nest, lemon chicken and fried rice being KnowingMelbourne family favourites. But I'm sure all your favourites are done just as well.
Been a loyal customer of China Max for years and it's definitely my favourite Chinese restaurant in the area. My parents started taking me here when I was younger and still to this day, we choose China Max over some of the other cheaper Chinese restaurants for its taste and quality. Some of the dishes I recommend are Peking duck, Singapore chilli prawns and wasabi beef fillets. I don't usually write reviews but I've seen some negative reviews about the food and service which I am honestly quite surprised by, so I wanted to share my experience here. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!
