Maxim is a long established Chinese restaurant at 153-155 Northfield Avenue in West Ealing. Serving the neighbourhood since 1974, it is known for Peking cuisine, a bustling family run atmosphere and a wide menu that balances familiar favourites with dishes for diners keen to explore more traditional ingredients.
Starters include barbecued spare ribs, sesame prawn toast, spring rolls, grilled dumplings and satay skewers. Shredded jellyfish with three delicacies, frog legs in black bean sauce and pepper salt squid offer more adventurous choices, while hot and sour soup, wonton soup and sweetcorn soups provide warming alternatives.
Fragrant crispy duck arrives with pancakes, cucumber and spring onion, while Peking roast duck can be ordered in advance. The seafood selection extends to whole lobster with ginger and spring onion, jumbo prawns, scallops and soft shell crab, prepared with sauces and seasonings that range from delicate steamed flavours to chilli and black bean.
Chicken with cashew nuts, crispy shredded beef, pork, bean curd and mixed vegetable dishes give groups plenty of ways to build a shared meal with rice or noodles. Set menus simplify the choice for larger tables, and glazed toffee apple or banana, lychees with ice cream and green tea ice cream provide a sweet conclusion.
