We had a fine evening. the food was good. service was good just the noise level. it was difficult to hold a conversation. it was a busy Friday evening I suppose.
Excellent service, delicious food, and nice ambience. tables nicely spread out with plenty of room for lots of dishes. sharing platter and duck in pancakes are superb
Great evening and excellent food. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the meal was paced just right: no long waits between courses, but we never felt rushed either. Our highest praise was that my wife was last at the restaurant 35 years ago and said it was every bit as good as she remembered it.
Great, food and service I would definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant. I'm sure we will be revisiting this restaurant some time in the future.
The service was not great. I had a group of 4 and 2 of us had almost completed our meal before the other 2 received their meal. I asked two different waiters to help before they got their meal. The same applied to the second round of drinks that we requested which came at the end of our meal Considering the price of the meals, i would think that the owners should consider employing more waiters. I will not be visiting this restaurant again
Fantastic menu selection. Food excellent quality, value for money. Staff pleasant, accommodating and efficient. Party of 7 and all thoroughly enjoyed whole experience. Used to visit many years ago whilst living in London. Glad it hasn't changed and still in same family. Will be back on next London visit.
Great meal as ever - lovely food & efficient service. This place is great for any good family celebration and we always go back here
Very good Chinese, bustling and busy which is always a good sign. The food was not greasy at all. The only downside was we had to wait for our table even though we had booked. It was probably half an hour before we had drinks. So keep that in mind. Our table was 8.30 and we had our first course after 9pm. But I would go again!
Went for a nice meal on Saturday the good was great and there was a really good atmosphere. Will definitely be returning to Maxim again!
Great service, good food , generous portions. Was disappointed some of the items on the menu were not available on the day (lobster,mussels), but the dishes we did have were enjoyable.
Ambient restaurant with delicious food, big portions and attentive service. Go there and you will not be disappointed, the set menus especially are good value.
Great food as always. Recommend mixed hot platter as a starter followed by salt/pepper squid (and anything else really). Very fresh tasting and quality ingredients throughout.
The food was very good and reasonably priced. The ambience was pleasant and the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back and will recommend it to friends.
Excellent food,efficient service,a little bit too noisy,definitely worth another visit as the quality has been consistently high over the years that I have visited it.
This is a very nice restaurant serving Chinese food! The food was very nice presented and very tasteful! The environment was adequate, not noisy and well decorated for the Chinese New year!
Food amazing. Always fresh food, highly recommend the cold starter the crispy shredded beef and the crispy tofu with chilli, ginger and spring onions were really tasty.
Lovely food! The restaurant was very busy but they still gave great attention to detail. Liked it so much we booked our next meal there.
Excellent as always. Maxims is the best restaurant in Ealing, and has been for decades. My family and I have been going to Maxims for 30 years. The staff have seen my children since pre-school and it remains the best treat. Highly recommended.
Spent a Lovely evening at Maxims with family members for my daughters birthday. Great food good atmosphere, very festive surroundings with good service. This was not our diets visit.
We went for more son's 21st Birthday dinner and as usual the food was excellent. we have tried several Chinese restaurants but none come close to Maxim's. Even though we live a distance away we are prepared to travel as the food, ambience and service is great. I would highly recommend
Excellent Service, excellent food. Would highly recommend. There is a wide choice of dishes on the menu and there are excellent set menu choices which are available in the evening and at weekends too.
The food and service was brilliant, the staff are very friendly and the food was tasy and portions were a good size. Will definitely be going back.
First visit but won't be the last. Food, excellent, not only an efficient service but also extreemly freindly. The decor intersting, sptlessly clean and comfortable.
Good service, good menu, good food quickly served, attentive staff. Some interesting different dishes from the usual run of Chinese. Prices in the upper quartile.
Been to Maxim several times before , superb restaurant with excellent service that hasn't let me down in 20 years of going , A1 restaurant
Great food, great atmosphere and very reasonably priced. As good a local Chinese restaurant as you could hope to find. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Usual high quality good and service always a must if Chinese is the choice of restautant. Plenty of service staff that are attentitive without being intrusive
Food was good but some of the service was not up to par. for instance, there was food all over the table and not once was this cleared...wine waiter was a bit abrupt too.
Lovely food. Always delicious and prawn that is out of this world. Not the cheapest in town but worth it. Would advise you pre-book though.
Starters were good, duck was good (but not as good as it used to be) but all of the 3 main courses we had were disappointing. The worst was crispy fried beef which was actually crispy fried fat, very sweet and greasy. The service was struggling to average. We paid £90 for two of us and had 3 drinks between us, no wine. I have been going to Maxims since it opened over 40 years ago but it's finally time to find a better local Chinese. Very disappointed.
As ever loved Maxims food. Their salt and pepper prawn and squid is a must! It is my local and I delighted to have it on my doorstep.
Good service and fantastic food. The set meal for 2 was just the right size for my wife and I to feel well fed. Would definitely recommend this place.
The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service received was good. Unfortunately the food was bland and rather mediocre. The spring rolls were oily and had no flavour, the bean curd was salty and the noodles had no taste and were greasy. A shame, as we were looking forward to a nice meal at a restaurant which came with recommendations,
Absolutely the best ribs in town! In fact all the food is very good, tried some delicious veal last night as well as the usual delights of crispy duck, crispy shredded beef and sizzling lamb. The service is great, so definitely a place to keep coming back to - and we do!
The place is really nice and well presented. The staff were very proffesional and friendly. The food was good I would rate it 7/10. I really enjoyed my experience there would definatetly go again.
The food here is good. The service is rude and shambolic, long wait for food. Plates of food ready to be served shoved on to random shelves where dirty crockery had previously been placed. This is a shame, as the food is very well cooked and very tasty.
Food was terrible, Spare ribs were deep fried and oily, just served on a plate no sauce, no garnish and just plonked on the table. Finger bowl looked more inviting, when the crispy duck arrived, it was certainly crispy again deep fried to within an inch of its life, we sent ours back, manager arrived to say this is how these ducks arrive from the supplier, we got the impression all the food was brought in and reheated. Could have had a more tasty meal from our local take away, very disappointed we won't be booking again.
A find favourite that never fails to disappoint. Sadly diners with children adjacent to us meant it was not as relaxed an experience as it should have been. No point in taking issue with the diners as it would have only escalated things. Will return as this isolated incident is not a reflection on the restaurant or their staff. Would recommend Maxims.
this used to be an excellent restaurant but has obviously deteriorated. the service was extremely slow, long waits between courses and we had to go and pay the bill at the bar while dirty dishes had not been removed from the table. Not enough serving staff and they were also running a take-away service from the bar. Very disappointing.
Unfortunately the food wasn't as good as previous visits The service was also clumsy with waiters reaching across us to pour water and not particularly friendly We won't be going back
excellent food and excellent customer service, little bit of the pricey side but well worth it, had a fantastic mothers day meal. very busy and great overall atmosphere
I am not happy cause it's seems like that when it's busy they try to rush us to finish so the next customer will be serve. My partner has not finish drinking his drink & waiter will call and already our bills. So not please of the way they serve. For me it's a bit of rude
We had a great time at Maxims - I couldn't comment on the authenticity of the food but it is consistently good, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere, even on a mid-week night was lively.
They were awaiting our arrival, had a choice of table to suit us and all staff very pleasant. The food is excellent with a huge choice on the menu. The set dinners are delicious and excellent value. A lovely evening out, in pleasant surroundings.
The restaurant was pretty inside, but service was rubbish. They also stole money avoiding paying vat to hmrc
Enjoyable meal- the food was plentiful and delicious. Service was slow, mainly because they were really busy and had many large parties in. But would definitely go again.
A fantastic restaurant - always a pleasure to go there; the food is exceptionally good and reasonably priced too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Food is lovely but the waiter was not great at serving the wine - left us waiting and spilt some every time he topped us up!
Food lovely but wine waiter very abrupt and spilt wine every time he topped up our glasses. Watch out for the service charge too. will still go back though.
Fantastic cusine with superb hospitality. A real test of Dynasty with fresh seafood and lovly sizzling lamb to die for. MAXIM offers ambien of Shangri-la. Highly recommended.
