Maymar Filipino Restaurant

Cool little spot in Chesapeake. Friendly service and very tasty food. For those who have a taste for Filipino food, this is a good choice.

We stopped in for Filipino food on a recommendation and were not impressed. We ordered pancit and lechon. It was served in a take out container, which always seems on-the-cheap to me but it's a choice.The lechon had a good initial flavor but quickly turned to a very greasy mouth-feel and tasted overdone. The pancit tasted like it had simply been boiled in bouillon. We've made better and certainly tasted better at other restaurants. The lumpia we ordered was made to order and was very good, fresh, and hot. Bravo!We specifically went to Maymar for the turon, which they were not serving on a Saturday. (insert puzzled shrug here.) None of their other desserts were available either. Restrooms are clean. Parking is easy (strip mall) but watch the closing time if you're going.

Maymar Filipino Restaurant in Chesapeake was such a nice experience! The service was super friendly and quick, which I really appreciated. Everyone was welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and comfortable.As for the food, I tried a little bit of everything. The rice, pancit, picadillo, sisig, longganisa, and lumpia, and let me tell you, they were all absolutely amazing. The flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. However, the afritada was a bit much for me. It was so bold and overpowering that it kind of clashed with the other dishes when I tried to pair them. On its own, it might've worked better, but with everything else, it just didn't hit the same.That being said, I'd definitely come back here. It's a solid spot for Filipino food, and most of what I had was fantastic. Still, the Maymar in Ocean View Norfolk holds a special place in my heart and it's just my favorite overall.Chesapeake's location is worth a visit, though, especially for the friendly service and those classic dishes done right.

I'm Filipino and we just moved from Hawaii so I was excited that my husband found a Filipino restaurant. Unfortunately what I wanted, they didn't have or it was served for another day. I ended up with my 3rd choice (bistec) which was okay. I definitely had better and can make better! I wanted pinakbet for my 2nd entree because I wanted lots of veggies. Again, they didn't have it so my husband got me some other veggies which were way too soft and overcooked. I guess I'm still on a look out for some good Filipino food.

I've been waiting to try this place. Filipino food has a special place in my heart. The food is great. A nice selection that is fresh. The ambiance is to be desired. It's a take out style place, not really suited for sit down. No alcohol, and only bottled beverages. The restaurant is clean but cluttered. It's been around since 2005 so they have repeat business. A good meal but not a good eating experience.

When I came there were a couple people in line. Not a huge area for a lot of people to wait due to blocking the door and constant flow of customers in and out. I witnessed them stating lumpia are made to order cool I get that, but it took them well over 10mins to bring out my chicken pancit and I got the lumpia first. The food was delicious as per usual but when it comes to wait time there is a need for improvement especially when others who ordered after I did received their pandit before me. Price is great for the quantity and authentic taste of the food. Absolutely no gripes in that department. I decided to dine in today since was just me. Not too noisy and easy listening music. They've remodeled over the years seating arrangement wise and I do like it. It opens up the space and allows for great conversations with neighboring tables/guests. I do recommend this restaurant because over the years the food has remained delicious and you will come back.

We are new in this area and so happy to find a Filipino Restaurant that serves great food and nice ambiance. First of, the foods here taste so authentic and at around 6pm the lechon kawali was still so crispy. We tried the beef Shanghai and it was so good. The Tocino and longganisa were sweet and savory. The dinuguan or chocolate meat was also to our liking. Will definitely come back again to try the other variants. Service was hospitable and the place was cozy.

This one and the one in Norfolk are completely different in a few ways. This one looks better aesthetically. Nice table and the chalk wall with the signatures of employees and customers looks nice. I was disappointed that this one didn't offer the sticky chili wings as the one in Norfolk. As far as food, the food is good. I really like the containers that they put your food in to go.

I tried this place over a year ago and it must have been an off day. I tried the place today and the food was amazing. Very flavorful, great portions. I ordered chicken adobo, menudo, garlic rice, vegetable pancit, and beef lumpia. Everything was amazing.

Cute little place in a large strip mall. There are eat in tables. The food is served like a turo turo- select options like a buffet. They have a large menu. There's also online ordering on their website.I ordered a halo halo. It was so delicious and made fresh for me. The ube ice cream topped the large dessert. For take out I got a side order of their Pancit bihon. It was so delicious. Remember this is a "base" but I ordered it as a main dish. Very authentic with the perfect flavoring. They also sell Shanghai lumpia and I asked them if o could get them raw. I wanted to fry them at home. I will definitely come back to try their protein dishes. This was the end of the night and it was all so good.
