Mietta's Review
China Max in Essendon offers a wide variety of Chinese dishes. The crispy flounder and sizzling beef fillet hot plates are always popular. Special attention is paid to the service which, along with the food, makes China Max a very popular local eatery. But there is more - owner William Lee (ex Mietta's) is passionate about wine. He has a list many Western restaurants would envy, at prices they cannot match.
