Maxin's, once well-regarded in Kirkcaldy, has severely declined in quality. The food was bland, the chicken was slimy and tasteless, the fried rice seemed uncooked, and the chow mein was inedible. Unfortunately, most of the meal ended up in the trash. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

The staff are nice too, relaxing as their experience grows. We are utterly puzzled by the negative reviews as we very frequently eat out, and have plenty to compare with.

Wouldn't ear put here again if it cost nothing , this place has lost its appeal and has fell into the below average take away category. Avoid!

The food was awful - the chicken didn't taste like chicken, the rice and chow mein had a strange smell and taste, and the prawn crackers were disgusting. When I called to complain, the chef admitted that the chow mein may not have been the best. The only decent thing was the salt and pepper chips. I was offered a credit note to cover two chow meins, but I felt like I wasted £30. I should have stuck to my usual place, Amritsar, which never disappoints. I hope Maxine's can improve their food quality soon. Very disappointing experience.

Had the sweetcorn and chicken to soup to start which was also very tasty. Lovely staff.
