New Maxin - Fife

I typically avoid publicly criticizing restaurants, but I have to admit this was the worst Chinese takeaway I've ever experienced. Maxin's, once well-regarded in Kirkcaldy, has severely declined in quality. The food was bland, the chicken was slimy and tasteless, the fried rice seemed uncooked, and the chow mein was inedible. Unfortunately, most of the meal ended up in the trash. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

I usually try to support local businesses, but I will never order from this Chinese restaurant again. The food was awful - the chicken didn't taste like chicken, the rice and chow mein had a strange smell and taste, and the prawn crackers were disgusting. When I called to complain, the chef admitted that the chow mein may not have been the best. The only decent thing was the salt and pepper chips. I was offered a credit note to cover two chow meins, but I felt like I wasted £30. I should have stuck to my usual place, Amritsar, which never disappoints. I hope Maxine's can improve their food quality soon. Very disappointing experience.

We’ve visited lots of times since 2016, and particularly enjoyed recent meals, where we’ve explored the traditional specialties part of the menu, which are interesting, tasty and distinguish the restaurant from others we’ve enjoyed in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester etc. Maxin is a local, under-appreciated gem that we’ll be delighted to enjoy again in coming months. The staff are nice too, relaxing as their experience grows. We are utterly puzzled by the negative reviews as we very frequently eat out, and have plenty to compare with.

First visit since it changed hands. Had the crispy chilli chicken with fried rice, hot and delicious. Had the sweetcorn and chicken to soup to start which was also very tasty. Lovely staff.

We booked a specific table but when we arrived were given a different one . When we were ordering the food we enquired about a certain starter we were assured it was the one we were after when it arrived it was wrong a simple task for the chap! Suggest he takes the time to study up on the menu . For the main we ordered chicken chow mein it was AWFUL chicken was cold and meal was tasteless needless to say we couldn't eat it . When the bill arrived we politely said we would speak to the manager at the section away from other diners so as not to disturb anyone when we tried to explain the issues we had she was rude and adamant there was nothing wrong with the meal .. she didn't eat with us so strange she thought food was ok ? We said she should deduct the price of the main meal and she rudely argued with us but eventually did she continued to argue even when we were leaving and out into the street what a terrible way to deal with customers . So in our opinion .. AVOID THIS PLACE .
