Chez Maxim Oriental is praised for generous portions, delicious and fresh tasting dishes, and a warm, attentive service that makes both dine-in and takeout feel welcoming. Takeout and delivery experiences via Uber Eats are noted as reliable, with hot, tasty food and friendly staff going the extra mile, like adding an extra sauce when requested. Some reviews mention inconsistency, with a few dishes that are too salty or rice that is dry, and a concern about the use of frozen ingredients in certain preparations. Overall, the restaurant stands out for value, variety, and a pleasant atmosphere, making it a strong choice for those seeking generous portions and solid flavors, while acknowledging that results may vary.
New ownership has recently taken over an already-good restaurant...& now? It's even better! Not only have they kept most of their predecessor's awesome dishes, but they have added a Japanese menu, which is their highlight. We did not order any, as we were there for orange beef & seafood platter ( which did not disappoint!). The atmosphere is very tidy & pleasant. Superb service. I'll be back for sure to try some of their Japanese dishes.
This restaurant really surprised me, I went with my boyfriend over 2 months ago & the food was great & so fresh, I still order their sweet & sour chicken to this day & it is absolutely delicious. The staff is also very friendly & the atmosphere was nice, I don't often leave reviews but I would definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful time with friends yesterday. Vegetarians options are excellent, the service was outstanding & the Otaku decor is appealing! Thank you so much!
This is not authentic Chinese food. It's fusion. Jap/ Chinese dishes. Nice presentation, small portion. But please don't come here for authentic Chinese cuisine. Definitely do not come for dim sum. I wish the matron D has given us the correct info. After we sat down we learnt out of the only 4 dim sum options on the menu, one is sold out so m so only 3 options! We didn't like the flavors of jap set menu either. Tasted like Panda Express served on a nice porcelain plate. The har gao were also over steamed, skin is pursed. My wanton soup is overly salty - msg? Final straw- no fortune 🥠 in the cookie! First one I had in my life without a fortune! Guess it's not a good sign. Nice ambience & waitress is sweet, trying hard to please. If you come for the ambience & have low expectations of Chinese food, this place is fine.

Chez Maxim Oriental was a mixed bag for take out. The wonton soup slapped, & the General Tao & dumplings were on point. But the beef noodles were kinda dry, & the black pepper beef was way too salty. Some hits, some misses.
Food was alright at best (made me feel sick later in the day), found 2 hairs in my food (they definitely weren't mine) & the service while they did come by & check up often, it felt a bit weird & pushy
