  “I was here two years ago and the food was really lovely. This time it was pretty bang average. They had only 3 selections of Chinese tea available, the food was a little bland, but some others were really tasty. The prices compare to the South is a lot cheaper, and inside the decor is really nice. There’s lots of car park spaces outside, they did give good customer service.”

  “My family first ate at Maxi’s over twenty years ago, and the food still tastes as good as we remember! The dishes were flavourful, and the service was kind and attentive. We also had dessert at the end. Thank you for the delicious meal!”

  “​Today, five of us drove for an hour to celebrate Father’s Day early, as this year is my very first Father’s Day. I came to Maxim's with a very excited and expectant mood to eat dim sum, because I heard from friends who recommended that the dim sum here is of very high quality. Indeed, the dim sum was very high quality and memorable. ​However, there was a Chinese male employee today whose service attitude was very unprofessional and arrogant. We understand that Sunday is a day off for most, but as a server, one needs to have the professional attitude of a server. We look forward to dedicated staff. Although the food today was very delicious, the owner should review whether this employee should just take Sundays off, because he caused us not to make a special trip to Maxim's for dim sum next time. ​On the other hand, the other staff members were very professional during the meal, from taking orders to providing hoisin sauce. Thank you very much to them.”

  “I have lived in York for almost 24 years and this evening was the first time I visited Maxis Chinese Restaurant. It did not disappoint. Everything from the food, atmosphere in the restaurant, the attentiveness of the staff was amazing. I have to say it was the best Chinese food I have had in a very, very long time. The price for the food was very reasonable too. We will definitely be coming back very soon to try more delicious food. Update 02/01/26: My wife and I have been several times since my first review above. Each time the service and food seems to get better and better. We have said it is the best Chinese Restaurant in York. Our last visit we had fantastic service from Louis, who was very attentive and gave us a great dining experience and thanks also to Helen who is also very friendly every time we visit!”

  “One of the best place for Dim Sum 🥟 and Authentic Chinese cuisines in North East and Yorkshire region … They have plenty of seatings and not too packed on the weekdays but make sure you booked ahead on the weekends … Their toilets 🚽 facilities are really clean and also has disabled and baby changed room … You can collect points with their app and can get good offers and exchange for items … Chinese cuisines and Menu are generally quite authentic … Our favourites are their roasted duck and pork belly and fried hao fan and their bao … They have plenty of parking space and it’s free to park and the environment seemed quite safe … The only thing to take note is they close on every Wednesday …”

  “It isn’t often I give 5 star but this place deserves it! Before you even get chance to walk in the place, staff are already greeting you and asking how we were. The staff were friendly throughout the whole service and were very welcoming/accommodating as I had a young baby. The food was amazing! There is a large selection so there will definitely be something for everyone! On this occasion, we went for one of the set menus which is great value for what you get. The portions were perfect sizes and there was not a long wait time. If I lived in/near York, this place would definitely be a regular stop for me!”

  “We really like their Dim Sum but we are after 6 pm, there is no dim sum after 6 pm. We order from the dinner menu, it is not as good as Dim sum be honest but it is still good, the staff is very friendly and very helpful. We have one guest is allergic to mushrooms, so all our dishes are mushrooms free.”

  “Dim sums are reasonably priced compared to the Chinese restaurant in south England. Generally the taste is good and value for money. One of the dishes impressed me most is the fried turnip cake with xo sauce. Highly recommended”

  “Would absolutely recommend coming to try the dim sum here. We tried 7 different dim sum dishes, and all were very tasty. Our favourite was the duck egg custard buns. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only criticism being they didn't come back to us to check on us after serving food. However, this did not take away from a great overall experience. The place has an authentic feel, and all our food was delicious. We will definitely be returning to try more dishes.”

  “This is a very cool place, with great decor and friendly and attentive service. There is a decent amount of veggie options on the menu but they are not very descriptive so it’s hard to say what each dish is. The veg and cashew nut dish we ordered was very bland and the noodles, while tasty, were marked as spicy on the menu but definitely weren’t spicy. If we visit again we’ll definitely ask for a recommendation.”
