" The food was comforting, especially on a cool evening. The baked goods offered a sweetness that complemented the savory dishes well. It’s quite busy and has a vibrant energy, but the environment took me back to culinary traditions. The portions were generous, and overall, I enjoyed my time here even if there was a little wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Maxim's Bakery & Restaurant for the first time last week and was blown away by the authentic flavors! The beef chow fun was rich and comforting, just like the ones I used to have back home in Hong Kong. Also, their pineapple bun with butter? A must-try! The service was very friendly, and I felt welcomed right away. I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I had higher expectations for this famous spot. The portions were generous, but a little bland compared to other Hong Kong cafes I’ve frequented. The service was prompt, and the setup was cozy. Maybe I’ll try it again on a less busy day to see if I get a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Maxim's feels nostalgic and welcoming. Their fried rice dishes are flavorful and always cooked to perfection. The friendly atmosphere makes it a nice place to gather with friends or family. The only complaint I have is the size of the tables, which could be a bit more spacious. However, the food is definitely a strong point that keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I want to share my love for this cornucopia of classic bakery items and hearty HK-style meals! The layout is amusingly compact, but the pastries offer big flavors! The flagships like custard tarts and cocktail buns never disappoint! I do wish they could cater to more dietary options as well, as it usually caters less to vegan or vegetarian dishes. But overall, it’s an unforgettable experience every time. " (*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*)
