Just ok, they run out of food later in lunch. Had the sesame chicken, it was ok. It looked like their cook was some old white guy, not Chinese. read more

The best pho ever in Minneapolis! The service is spot on. I would recommend to anyone! read more

Asian Max - Pho - Pan Asian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Pho is amazing. The broth is flavorful; the brisket is tender. Just overall delicious.

Asian Max consistently delivers a tasty and quick lunch. Food is always fresh and light enough for me to continue with my busy day. I love the variety they offer and the friendly staff makes it easy to always want to come back! It's the perfect environment and ambiance for both large groups and for a quick solo lunch! read more

Great food and great staff. Highly recommend! The best spicy green beans I've ever had! read more

The staff is very friendly. Lots of options, Chinese, Japanese, Korean. I tried the coconut shrimp - it was large and yummy! I ordered a double entree beef and broccoli (I was craving veggies) and it came with lots of rice. Also, bonus points for fountain Coke! (I'm not in San Fran - not sure why it says that) read more

My go-to for quick Chinese food for lunch during the week. The staff is great, really friendly. I like talking with Hermenio - he's super nice. As far as food, my pro tip is to get the $5 box, which they offer after 2pm. They put out a variety of food from the day, typically noodles, chicken or another meat, rice, veggies, etc. I usually try to go for the green beans and noodles. It's a good deal, and you're hard pressed to find a better one for that amount of food. Try to go as close to 2pm as possible, as the boxes tend to sell quickly. read more

By far the best food in the skyway system. Very flavorful, great friendly staff, and very affordable. Highly recommended! read more

BEST food in the skyway. Fast and friendly staff. The GREEN BEANS are to die for. I can eat this everyday and never get sick of it. The food are fresh and pack with flavors. Give this a try if you're In the area you won't be disappointed. read more

Asian Max - Pan Asian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Clean, fast, and fresh Chinese food. Reasonably priced as well. They made their sesame chicken with white meat, which I appreciate! The green beans with garlic and crushed red pepper were flavorful and spicy. I don't eat rice so this was a nice option. read more

It's hard to find a spring roll in the Skyway, yet here they are. I'm usually a plain-white-rice-thank-you-very-much kind of girl, but there's something about the server lady's smile and gentle wave of her ladle that made me try the ginger sauce the first time. I'm glad I did. The green beans are where it's at. read more

My coworkers could not say enough about Asian Max. I tried it on Friday and I have to saw it was very good. I don't know any "fast food" Asian restaurants that have fresh spring rolls (veggie or shrimp) as part of the combo meal. A two item combo was only $5.99 plus tax. No wonder there was a line, but it moved very quickly. Definitely worth the visit, located on the skyway level of One Financial Plaza, near D. Brian's. read more

Tried it again for the first time in months, and I have to say, I was surprised. Either my taste has gotten worse, or they have improved. The spicy green beans (which everyone raves about) were actually really tasty this time! Every other time I've gotten them they've been oily, soggy and virtually flavorless. This time they were hot, crunchy and full of flavor. Also, I had the coconut chicken, which was very good. The coconut dipping sauce was a little much, though. Next time, I'll do without. Much better, though! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place.. when i first discovered it, i would sometimes go twice a week!! The spicy green beans are the best and the service is always friendly and nice. mmmmmmmmm read more

NOT Gluten-Free! The owner, Jenny, (new ownership in 2018 or 2018) does not understand that "soy sauce" in the USA is fermented wheat NOT fermented soy. Fermented (Real) soy sauce is Tamari sauce and more expensive. She erroneously claims her items are gluten-free when drenched in wheat-sauce! She had initially said she uses the more expensive soy sauce which is GF, but really did not understand the question - she is in the restaurant business and is not familiar with food ingredients!!! Sad! Great food as long as you do not have gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. I have spoken with her and hopefully she is in the process of changing her claim of gluten-free and hopefully I will recover from gluten poisoning within a year or less. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to eat lunch downtown. The owner, Huong, is incredible, and the staff is the friendliest around! I always seem to get the sesame chicken and fried rice because it's my favorite. I have also had, and absolutely love, their coconut chicken, teriyaki chicken, and the spicy green beans. Best place downtown, hands down!!! read more

Terrible food!! I had chicken with peppers - the meat was so hard and smelled like it was microwaved several times.

I have attempted to enjoy this place two times. The first time I vowed to never come back because the person managing the register was extremely rude and the food wasn't that great. The second time was more friendly but the food was still mediocre and more expensive than other places. Honestly any of the other Asian eateries in the skyway are better... but if you're in a pinch I suppose it would do. read more

In terms of price and quantity, it is a good deal. But the taste is... I doubt that I will go there again.

ASIAN MAX IS AN ABSOLUTE PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT. The food is less than mediocre, you can't get fried rice with noodles (it's one or the other-lack of customization). In addition to the disgraceful food I just ate, I opened my fortune cookie to find no fortune within it. WILL NOT RETURN. read more

Visited for my first time today, and was told to try the special...and it was worth the purchase! The special today was rice (white or brown), sweet and sour chicken, and spicy green beans. The sweet and sour chicken was good, but slightly soggy, as most fast food places are. The rice was so-so, but what sold the deal was the spicy green beans. These were absolutely delicious. All for under $7. read more

If you hit this place during lunch rush the food is super fresh with real pieces of chicken and good vegetables. If you show up well after lunch rush they don't seem to put much effort into keeping the choices stocked or fresh. It is a major difference in quality depending on when you go. I see a lot of people order the green beans if you're a vegetable person. read more

i just left Asian Max (Canadian Pacific Plaza) and asked for an extra hot sauce and was told managment charges 0.25c for extra sauces. this is appalling as the volume of business they do is great and customers can take as many forks, spoons, fortune cookies as they like but an extra container of hot sauce you have to pay...this is APPALLING. My last meal purchased there.... Doreen Robinson Canadian Pacific Railroad read more

Asian Max is OK, but unless you get there during the peak times the food can have a stale, warmed-up feel to it. The last time I was here the sesame chicken was more sloppy bits of sauce than actual chicken. The sesame chicken at Skyway Wok is way tastier and more substantial. Also the fried rice I had tasted like it had been sitting there for several hours. Again, Asian Max is a decent option for fast Asian food but it's best to get there during the rush because, even though you may have to deal with the crowd, the food is much fresher. read more

This place is 10 times better than the other location. The portions are large and prices are fair. I appreciate this place because they have different options other than the usual suspects at other chains like Panda Express and Leann Chin. They have Korean rice bowls, Vietnamese salads, and the standard chinese dishes. I always get the spicy green beans, and they're really charred and spicy unlike the greasy ones at the other spot. The noodles are kinda yummy, and I love that they have spring rolls - both shrimp and veggie. Their peanut sauce is delish. Try something other than the typical dishes, and I think you'll be surprised! read more

We went there around 2 o' clock, only 2 of us, their food almost gone later we knew they closed at 2:30 pm. But it is ok, I still want to try them because of I saw 4 stars on yelp. The choice left were spring rolls which huge ( veggie or shrimp), lemongrass chicken, spicy basil chicken, teriyaki chicken and fried rice. Spicy basil chicken looked yummy so we both chose it and for the side, one shrimp spring roll for me and my friend chose cucumber salad. The spicy basil chicken I would say not spicy at all, there was a mild sweetness in it unfortunately I didn't taste any basil at all. Their shrimp spring roll, it mostly was rice vermicelli. Fried rice non greasy and more like soy sauce taste like. Overall they are not typical chinese buffet thingy. But not a real asian food either. Due to the price, quick service, location and the portion I say it is a worth visit if I worked in the skyway. read more

Asian Max - Combo - Pan Asian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

See all

When you want a quick, decent, reasonably-priced Asian food fix, Asian Max hits the spot. Try the spicy green beans. Friends and I like them so much, we often forget the name of the restaurant and just call it spicy green beans. We all know what it means. Often a line here, but they move it along pretty well. Oh... if they ask about sauce for your rice say YES! read more

It was okay food with a not so good selection. I would go back with the group I originally went there with, but if I had to pick all by myself it would get passed up in an instant. read more

Wow the spicy chicken was so bad. It was either not fresh or over cooked. The Fried rice was also not cooked right. I ate here first time and I won't do the same mistake again. read more

As far as price goes, this is one of the better fast-food asian food places I've ever been to. The quality of the meats and ingredients are far above other nearby locations (i.e. Skyway Wok). Before I started focusing on a more healthy-diet, I would enjoy Asian Max at least once a week while working downtown. They have very large portions that, for the ordinary appetite, will provide two meals for an individual. Their spicy green beans are a hit, but I personally enjoy the Sesame Chicken, Basil Thair Chicken, and the Terayaki Chicken, along with the fried rice. Another reviewer had given a one-star review simply on an upcharge for sauces; however, if you think about most restaurants today, this isn't that abnormal. Many restaurants charge additional for sauces (BWW, Joe Senser's, etc.). I think this was an unfair review on their part which has skewed the overall rating of this place. In summary, do yourself a favor and avoid the digestive issues by choosing Asian Max over Skyway Wok. read more

I came just to get some cheap lo mein noodles and veggie roll. No veggie rolls available. Got a small order of lo mein that was almost inedible...and I was looking for cheap and greasy already. Really bad. To top it off, the fortune cookie was so stale I spat it out. read more

I always get the bowl, white rice, green beans (which are wonderful) and 4 pieces of chicken. But, I think their portions are really getting skimpy. This time I only received 17 green beans, now if I can count them, that's bad. I ask for less rice, doesn't mean I want less beans too. read more
