This place is decent but their are far better PHO and spring rolls in the valley. Like Dong A or Da Vang. Will never come again the spring rolls rice paper is too thick and gummy like kinda weird compared to other places and that kills it for me.

Chinese Pho!? How about Vietnamese Fried Rice?\n\nWell needless to say Maxim is a mixture of two cultures. My two cultures it happens to be and what I am - half Vietnamese and half Chinese. So our waitress and some of the staffs are speaking in Cantonese and serving up some Pho. Eh! I'm not one to judge. I order me ...

Great food! Kind staff! We arrived 15 minutes after they closed, but they still let us in. Their winter rolls were really great, served with lettuce to wrap them in, and hot. We ordered the Pho, as we are huge fans of Pho. The broth was good, rich and had a distinct anice and five spice flavor. Really yummy. Th...

- Great salsa, especially if you mix the red and green together; however, the chips are only mediocre\n- Very tasty refried beans\n- Amazing chicken mole enchiladas. That little kick they throw in is outstanding\n- The enchiladas suisa were amazing. Great green chili sauce\n\nI'll be back to sample more of menu.

Hubby and I were in Phoenix scoping out places to live (currently in Chicago) and we tried Pepe's on a whim. Then we came back the next day...\nShredded beef tacos are delicious. I'm also a huge fan of their refried beans, especially on the tostada. Love this place. Guarantee we will be regulars once we move!
