Their broasted chicken has ruined all other fried chicken from anywhere else for me. It’s always so crispy and tasty. Whenever I bring it to parties or share with friends, they ask where it’s from because it’s the best they’ve ever had. Also a huge fan of their pancit and lumpia, although I love everything I’ve had from this spot. It’s a mom & pop shop and I’ve been going here for decades. It’s cash only and they give very generous portions. I wish I lived closer so I could go here as often as I did during my teenage years, but I always stop by for food whenever I’m in Fremont.

Used to come here very often last year when i used to work in Fremont. Was craving for their broasted chicken so i went in the afternoon 30mins before closing. The fried chicken was tasteless and burnt (probably due to the oil being used the whole day). Literally it had no flavor like it used to. Can’t even smell it! I brought my cousins with me and it was their first time going there. I was telling them how good the chicken was but I was disappointed this time around.

If you are looking for the best fried chicken in the East Bay, Maharlika Restaurant in Fremont is an absolute must-visit. Their legendary Broasted Chicken is pressure-cooked and deep-fried to absolute perfection, ultra-crispy skin on the outside while remaining incredibly juicy and piping hot on the inside.

Maharlika is my new favorite spot for Filippino take out! This mom and pop shop is cash only, and take out only. They offer fabulous prices and generous portions. Their signature broasted chicken is incredibly crispy and juicy, a definite rival to other fried chicken places. One of my favorite dishes is the signature pork sinigang- a tangy tamarind soup. We also had the chicken adobo which melts in your mouth. Daily combo plates are only $6.50 and come with two generous items + rice. The owner is super nice, I wish I could adopt him!

The restaurant itself tucks in a small complex. Parking can be difficult during lunch & dinner time. Most of the time, I street parked near the complex. After pandemic, they only serve carry out. It's hard to order by phone as they rarely pick up the phone. I saw lots of people come to the restaurant to pre-order the food to be picked up later in the day. - Broasted chicken: SUPER good! (Better than kfc & churches!!!) The skin is very crispy while the meat is still tender. - Pork sinigang: my favorite Filipino soup! It has the perfect sour taste & lots of veggies. - The chicken adobo & pancit are good too. I always order the 2 items daily combo that comes with rice. For the price & portion, it is a very good deal!
