" I had a positive experience but with subtle frustrations. While the staff were delightful, I felt a bit forgotten during the waiting period. On the plus side, my toast with condensed milk was perfectly toasted, and the omelet was filled generously. The sweetness of the condensed milk balanced well. I recommend it as a comforting meal especially on a chilly day. I’ll be back just for the egg toast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give seven stars! Maxim's Bakery & Restaurant exceeded my expectations. Their menu is filled with authentic HK flavors. I especially loved their chicken noodle soup and don’t even get me started on their pastries! Everything was homemade and fresh. The sales staff were also polite and friendly, turning a regular meal into a memorable experience. Scenic quaint opinions make this one of my favorite restaurants! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my recent visit. While the bakery had a wonderful selection of cakes and buns, the restaurant service was lacking. We ordered some HK-style dishes that tasted decent but weren't extraordinary. Maybe I had high expectations coming in due to the hype. I appreciated the nostalgic decor, but unfortunately, it didn't make up for the average food experience. I'll give it another shot, but I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't disappointed! The curry beef brisket was flavorful, and they serve generous portions—definitely good value for money. The restaurant has a casual, busy vibe that's typical for a Hong Kong café. Plus, the desserts from the bakery are always on point! The yogurt cake was luscious and moist. My only feature improvement would be the need for better organization during peak hours, as the waiting times can be a bit lengthy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maxim's is a great stop for lunch! I had their set A breakfast combo, which was affordable and tasty. The omelette was fluffy and packed with fillings, and the lemon tea was refreshing. It's nice to find a place that serves food in generous portions. Plus, the staff is really friendly. Only thing I didn't like was the cleanliness of the restrooms, they could use some improvement. Overall, though, a satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a loyal customer of Maxim's for many years, and every visit reminds me of the authentic Hong Kong vibe! This place has maintained its charm and the quality of food over decades. The milk tea is spot on, not too sweet and super aromatic. Their baked goods are always fresh, and the ambiance feels like home. The only downside is that it's often busy, so sometimes the service can be a bit slower, but absolutely worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Maxim's is certainly a nostalgic trip down memory lane! Lovely old-school ambiance, coupled with a good selection of classic HK dishes and amazing pastries. The staff were incredibly lovely! The only aspect that surprised me was the limited seating which can make waits long during busy hours. Nonetheless, it’s an experience I cherish every time! " (*Curated Review*)
