Really enjoyable. I visited China Max with a friend for the first time recently. Despite having lived in Essendon for years I never tried China Max and on a whim decided to give it a go. It 's definitely on the pricier side for a Chinese restaurant. Having said that I thought the food was sublime. There was a bit of a wait for food almost to the point where we were about to ask what had happened to our order but it was Saturday night at the peak of the peak evening period. The steamed fish with black bean sauce was wonderful. The fish was steamed to perfection and the sauce was subtle and didn 't overwhelm the delicate flavour of the fish. The minced pork with eggplant in a spicy sauce was r...
China Max is a place with a diverse reputation. In Essendon you either love it or you hate it. This was my first visit and to be honest I thought it was pretty good. The prices are city prices in the northern suburbs which can be off putting but given the exceptionally diverse wine list and large menu I felt the price was about right. We ordered the eel which was sold out so moved onto westlake duck and the braised tofu with green vegetables. The duck itself was a little fatty but perfect for mid range suburban dining. The tofu with greens was fantastic and as close to anything in shanghai. The service was quick with a smile dependant upon which staff member you got. They do not do eftpos on...
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!
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.

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.
When there are lots of places to choose from in the area and you don't automatically think Chinese then think again. This place is great. Decor bit tired but you don't eat the decor. The food was great service friendly and entertaining and best of all very affordable. If you are in the areas try this place you won't be disappointed.
This is a great suburban restaurant and serves the best Peking Duck in Melbourne . Excellent wine list , very good service and an extensive menu of authentic Chinese dishes make it well worth a try . The take away is good as well .
First time here service is awesome, local swear by this place, that has been here for as long as I can remember, food amazing value for money, will be back again.
