About China Maxim

Considering dining at an Asian restaurant in Brighton, MA? Please be advised that China Maxim, which is reportedly also operating under the name Hippo Kitchen, located at 241 Market St, has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from recent customers. Although categorized as a Chinese Restaurant, the experiences shared suggest significant issues.

Multiple reviewers have reported severely negative experiences. One customer described a "terrible experience" involving an incomplete order, out-of-stock items, and menu prices that did not match the final charge. This customer walked out missing two meals and found the food quality to be only "ok." Disturbingly, they were charged $61.10 on their receipt but their credit card was billed $144.50 by either "China Maxim" or "Hippo Kitchen."

Another reviewer explicitly labeled the restaurant a "scam," detailing a "complete nightmare" experience with a takeout order placed on their website. This customer reported missing large quantities of food and being charged "literally double" the amount stated on their receipt, raising concerns about potentially illegal billing practices. They also stated that no customer support was provided, leaving them with very little food despite paying double the expected price.

Based on this information, it is strongly recommended that local users exercise extreme caution when considering China Maxim / Hippo Kitchen. The reported issues include significant discrepancies between the order and what was received, inaccurate pricing, substantial overcharging, and a lack of customer support. No positive aspects regarding the environment, services, features, or promotional information could be extracted from the provided reviews. The overwhelming sentiment suggests a high risk of a negative experience at this establishment. You can contact them at (617) 783-5458 or their mobile number +1 617-783-5458, but given the reported issues, it may be prudent to consider alternative dining options.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Tried them about 2 weeks ago and had a terrible experience. Order was not completely fulfilled, items out of stock, prices inaccurate on menu. I walked out missing 2 meals and the food was just ok. I was charged $61.10 on my receipt and upon checking my credit card statement “China Maxim” or “Hippo Kitchen” as they’re now calling it, charged me $144.50! Do not go here

This restaurant is a scam. Customers beware. Ordering takeout on their website was a compete nightmare. Missing large quantities of food, was charged literally double which was not reflected on my receipt, pretty sure this is illegal. No customer support provided. Was left with very little food and paid double for it… total scam.

This gets five stars for what it's worth. This isn't fine dining but it certainly gets the job done. Huge portions and decent prices. They are super fast too.

IG: @daysoffwithray Got the C26? General Gua with pork fried rice and cheese wontons. It's good for the price, but the style of fired rice is different then what I'm used to and the sauce is okay. But if your hungry anything is good. Inside is like hot af. So just order take out.
