Maymar - Norfolk

Food was prepared as ordered and didn’t have to wait long for it.Parking: No problem parking on street.

I have never had Filipino cuisine before, so I wasn’t sure what to think. As soon as my daughter and I walked in, we were greeted with kindness as the dishes were explained with enthusiasm. We were offered samples of the food so we could try it before we bought it, so that was a nice gesture. The food was so beautiful and delicious (worth every single penny), and the hospitality was top notch. I definitely recommend trying Maymar because you will not be disappointed. Thank you for making a first great impression on us and our bellies. We can’t wait to come again!!!

House pancit is only meat and noodles. Very disappointing. Being a military family none of my Filipino service members pancit is ever disgusting and unappetizing. It's sad because there isn't very many Filipino restaurants and I will go back to just ordering from Co-Workers. I couldn't even eat this I threw it away...yuck!

I haven’t been here in almost 5 years when they were very racist to my daughter and I! Back then we waited our place in line! Once it was my turn, the lady server asked me what I wanted! Right in the middle of me telling her, a Philippine man walked in! She laid the Styrofoam to the side and pointed to the other server behind her, doing something else! Telling me she would serve me! My daughter was next in line to me! Instead she asked the Philippine man who had just walked in after us what he wanted! Just by passed us to fully serve him! I left and hadn’t been back until today! I believe in giving people another chance! Today the servers were VERY very polite, attentive and served all of us in the order we were in! I requested to place a catered order for an upcoming event! I was directed to a man sitting down in a red shirt! I tried to talk to him about it but he held his hand up! For me to wait as he made a phone call in front of me! I sat down right in front of him to wait! He got off of that call and made another call while I waited! I could understand if I interrupted him during an on going call! Which I have manners and would have sat to wait before addressing him! He made me wait while he placed two calls! I told him about what I was trying to order! He told me they are booked! Which I understood due to it being Graduation weekend as he stated! I was about to leave but he asked me how much I needed! I told him and he proceeded to say what he already told me! That they are booked! Why tell me he couldn’t, then call me back asking the amount I needed? To tell me he is booked again? I really felt like he was thinking about doing it but changed his mind! For whatever reason! Like I said, it’s been 5 years since trying them again. I will never go back! It seems like they pick and choose who to deal with, who not to and when! When I shared my experience 5 years ago I was told by a family member who is a regular customer! That the mother and father are very nice and that it wouldn’t happen if they are there! I don’t know them and this was five years ago! I do know they must be nice people to have my cousin as a regular customer! She is very picky about people and her food?! Kudos to the servers today they were very professional! Older man at table not! Very rude to place calls while a customer is waiting!

Maymar Norfolk has the best lumpia. They have a pick your items menu “cafeteria style” Everything is made fresh daily. The staff/ family is great. If you are ever in the area, grab you some authentic food.
