The food is tasty but not all. Chicken teriyakis are their best. This place definitely need a makeover. I just don't understand why Chinese folks with these fast food joints never put money into renovating. It looks gross when the wife cooks the food and it's an embarrassment when they yell at each other in front of customers. The husband, wife and the driver just has their eyes glued to their TV. I hope their children puts their fresh ideas in helping their parents clean up this place. Chinese kids never like to help out their parents in their restaurants. If they know how to manage they can have more business. It's spacious already. Also I caught the wife picking her nose. People are giving you business and your food is tasty. Renovate the restaurant and have better service. Not even a thank you when you order from them. read more

America's rendition of Chinese food is greasy, laden with salt and with often unidentifiable ingredients......and that's just fine by me. If that's what you're into then this place might be for you. I don't know why but I feel slightly more comfortable going here for my grease fix than at some other places around the area (e.g. Hoy Hing). But be warned, the staff here are incredibly rude. But to be fair to them that might also have something to do with me always ordering combos that don't even exist (you never know when you might slip one by them) Overall, greasy fun for the Brighton masses. read more

I have been here several times and the couple that are there most of the time have always been kind and attentive. They cook right in front of you and the food is always great. It reminds me of the little Chinese restaurants from NYC Chinatown where I am from the lower east side. They are the real deal. read more

China Maxin is so delightful and a total hole in the wall. It's a dive chinese joint and other reviewers seem to miss the charm of it. No nonsense, just good chinese for cheap. I've eaten here several times and their wontons are always perfect and fresh, their chicken dishes are always well prepared and not full of gross bits you can't chew, and my vegetarian girlfriend always has options. Great friggin chinese joint read more

This place is the truth when it comes to fast food Chinese. Buyers, please understand what you're getting into. We're talking about American Chinese with grease and flavor. If you're snobby about fast food Chinese, then you're in the wrong place. In fact, you're probably lost. As for China Maxim, they offer generous proportions at a cheap price. They pack the flavor and serve it up fast. I enjoy their large combination platters where you get sides, rice, and a main course all in a box. For those who love soup and apps, the Maxim delivers the best. Their crab rangoons contain crispy shells with creamy insides. Don't forget their zesty selection of soups. I prefer the hot and sour soup which gets the job done whenever you're sick. I have been to China and I can honestly say, China Maxim maintains the flavors and essence of Chinese cuisine. Even thir Kung Pao Chicken tastes like you're ordering from a food stall in Beijing. I'm not saying that this is the closest authentic cuisine that you'll get, but for regular Americans, this stuff gets it done. read more

WORST SERVICE IN THE HISTORY OF FOOD SERVICE! I am not a snobby person by any means, I don't care about waiting, I don't care if my server is busy and takes a little longer. But this place annoyed me enough that I felt compelled to write this. The two individuals working here were glued to the television and ignored me for about 5 minutes.. I said hello, I said excuse me... nothing.. not even a glance my way. I was the only person inside this dump. I would have left if I wasn't starving after working a 16 hour shift. They were just staring at some Chinese television soap opera like a couple of toddlers who are seeing a TV for the first time. I ordered 2 egg rolls.. that's all. Took them 20 minutes! Not because they were busy, but because they were glued to a TV show and burning food. I feel bad for people who order delivery. They will be waiting a long time. Never will I return. I would rather die of starvation read more

I don't understand all the low reviews. I almost didn't order from them based on existing reviews, but I took a chance anyway because I live nearby and they deliver. They were here within 20 minutes of my order with a giant bag of food ($28 tip included). Nobody yelled at me on the phone as some reviews indicated they might. The food was hot and as good as any other Chinese carryout with the added bonus of AMAZING crab Rangoon. Quit being a bunch of fussy-britches Yelpers, this place is awesome. read more

It is all about the egg roll here. They are huge. The best I have had almost anywhere. The shrimp fried rice is a nice side dish. Chicken wings are a good size and always hot as hell. The rest of the food is standard Chinese takeout. I give four stars simply because of the awsome egg roll here. Get at least two. read more

You have to keep in mind that it is cheap, americanized chinese food. But if that is what you are craving, then this is a good place. I ordered pork fried rice and wonton soup. I know this sounds silly, but that was the best wonton soup I've ever had. It was full of vegetables and tons of wontons, I would go back just for that! The fried rice had good flavor and wasn't too greasy, as some places can be. The staff was nice and it didn't take very long to complete my order. read more

One of the better places in this area and they deliver. Spare ribs are awesome same with sesame chicken. Huge portions, lasts for lunch and dinner next day. Yummy read more

Neighborhood Chinese food take out. Get a rice plate. I would not advise getting the fried rice because it would not be authentic, merely frozen vegetables store up with some meat. Also they don't have that yellow egg noodle for chow mein. read more

I went here based on recomendations from some co workers. Ive driven by this place a hundred times, and one day decided to stop in for lunch. My fellow coworkers obviously have never had good chinese food, because the food here was not very good. It seemed like the rice and chicken had been sitting around for hours or even days, no wonder it was ready a couple minutes after ordering. I def will never go back here. read more

I know I'm in the minority, but I dig this place. It's always the same couple working the counter, so I'm assuming they own the joint. They're always a little rude. The place is kind of dingy inside. But the food has always been good... and crazy cheap. The lunch specials are about $5-6 and the portions are huge. read more

Decent go to Chinese food place, my favorite in Brighton. Nothing spectacular, but always does a decent job on its quality in comparison to other quick Chinese food spots. read more

Do not judge a book by its cover and do not judge China Maxim by it dingy sign and dated/lack of decor. If you are looking for the old-standby takeout Chinese food, we all love on those lazy rainy nights, this is the place. They have great homemade crab rangoons and the crispy beef is delicious. I have yet to be disappointed by any of my selections. I would not recommend eating here too frequently because it is far from healthy but if you are looking for some quick and tasty takeout, hit up China Maxim III! read more

not amazing high end chinese food - but as far as quick greasy fast chinese food goes, this is my favorite for sure. great apps, good meals and combos, and quick friendly delivery. read more

I have only been here once. The food was greasy, but I will give the benefit of the doubt that their frying oil needed to be changed. That was what it tasted like. If not for that, then it would be absolutely fine for American Chinese food. I will still go back and give them another try. read more

Worst customer service. Ordered two combination platters- one number 2 and one number 22. Got home to find both were number 22. Called the restaurant and was told to come to the store in 10 minutes to receive my correct order. Awesome. Got to the store, and after waiting ten minutes because the owner and employee were watching a Chinese tv show, was told to pay additional price. When I said no, and that it was their fault for not making my correct order, the owner (a woman) legit yelled "no free food here!" She asked me to bring the other number 22 order to exchange. When I said it got thrown out because it wasn't correct, she informed me they would have REUSED that order. Disgusting. After several minutes of this horrible, rude lady screaming at me, I decided to leave empty handed. I will never go back to this place again. Had I known they reuse their food, I wouldn't have bothered in the first place. Please don't waste your money. read more

this place is DISGUSTING! stopped by on my way home for a quick bite, ordered vegetable lo mein, scallion pancakes, and egg roll. took 2 bites and was completely grossed out....i was VIOLENTLY ill for 10 hours the next day..... do NOT go here. read more

Don't do it, I ordered chicken chow mien, bone in spear ribs and egg roll, some of vegetables in the chow mien had brown spots on them. The egg roll could have been out of a box from your freezer. But worst of all the spear ribs were not edible. They smelled and tasted like barnyard and the meat under the red char was brown, they went bad and still brought them to my door read more

Ordered from this place today for the last time. Rude on the phone, delivery an hour late i called and asked for manager, he started yelling, i can order somewhere else i have enough customers. This place should be shut down. They have no clue how to interact with customers. Avoid!! I would rather starv than give them my buisness! read more

Most places have a handful of dishes that they are good at making. After a half a dozen meals from China max I have yet to find a meal they excel at making. The service is quick, which may play into the lack of quality, but for now it will go in the pro column. read more

Quick service, lo mein was excellent, but wonton soup left to be desired. Other downside is they are really quick with you on the phone and in person. Makes it seem like they don't like their jobs. Lady is an absolute sweetheart though, and the guy is nice, just not personable read more

I been coming here for years and years so long now that i cant even remember. in fact i started coming here since this place opened its so good. The food is good for the price and the amount u get is significant. i can never finish in 1 sitting, wait i do that all the time maybe thats why im fat. anyways good food that is quick. All their delivery is super fast most of the time its there in less than half hour but on saturdays this one handsome man delivers so fast its unbelieveable... i always tell him that and he just smiles. anyways this place is awesome just like RL! read more

Pretty good Chinese food, my favorite are the wings and crab Rangoons! Has parking :)

If you call for delivery PRAY the old lady who doesn't speak English does not answer. She will MESS UP YOUR ORDER, but understands ALL THE NUMBERS ON YOUR CREDIT CARD read more

Hahahaha..this place.......just stick to the basic appetizers with them... the rest is kinda iffy haha. I have eaten here many many times.... due to being completely drunk and no where else willing to deliver food. honestly i get chicken wings and crab ragoons ...anything beyond that is asking them for too much. read more

i have actually eaten here about 4 times and my girlfriend about 5 times, she loves it, i have no complaint so far, i asked for chicken fried rice with no veggies and i got it just like that, love the lobster sauce and chicken fingers, my girlfriend loves their crab rangoon because its crispy edges with ton of filling, i don't eat that but hey she loves it, orange chicken a wonderful, with a bit of spice love it, so as for service or delivery i live too far to get delivery so i always pick it up but my sister lives nearby them and she never complained about delivery and she loves this place as well as her fiancee, I'll stick with buying here at times, i'm giving it 4 stars because their telephone line sucks and they messed up my order once because of this plus now when i order i have to repeat myself 2-3 times but its not them ( I Believe) phone line sounds static-y but other than that its wonderful food so far read more
