We went without reservations and was happy to be seated. Originally we felt like just some Taiwan style beef noodles, but the one we wanted to go to, Da Po on Heard Street closed shop! We ordered the beef noodle, and was pleasantly surprised. The soup was good, and the beef was tasty. Unlike Da Po, where the beef was over-cooked so it no longer had flavor, the beef, from the shin, was still tasty.The chicken 大盤雞was ok, with potatoes, but not as good as the Three cups chicken.

The chicken 大盤雞was ok, with potatoes, but not as good as the Three cups chicken. The chillies on top was just for decoration, did not impart any flavor. Stick to the Three Cups chicken!
The Grandmother's Stewed Pork was well cooked, and tasty. The tofu that underlined the big pieces of pork belly were also very tasty. There are some HK restaurants that start to charge over $100 for this homey dish, they should have their consciences checked as it is only $58 here. Definitely a winner!
The soy sauce cuttlefish legs were a little under-cooked as they were too chewy
One of our favorites which we did not order this time but I will recommend is the beef in whole pumpkin. We like the tender pieces of beef, but we love to scrape off the pieces of pumpkin that have soaked up the beef juices and sauce.
This Maxim Group restaurant markets itself was Taiwanese themed. Some of the dishes are authentic, some are adapted for HK taste. We feel it's probably more Taiwan - Hakka than Xiamen style. It is one of our stand-by restaurants and we hope Maxim keeps the quality up, and keep the prices where they are.
The service was good and attentive. We brought a child who spilled his soup, and the waiters quickly brought napkins to clean up. Things we ordered mid- meal were brought in.
