We order here all the time, my husband n I get the exact same thing every time. Today my Shrimp Chow Ho La was very dry. Several pieces didn't even have any sauce on them and no sauce in the dish. Usually there is lots of sauce in the dish and the shrimp is very well coated in the sauce. The shrimp today were like baby shrimp with nothing but breading I couldn't even taste any shrimp, usually the shrimp are like big butterfly type shrimp with a light bread type coating, today almost all breading. The “crab” rangoon there was NOT any crab in them. My husband’s meal the pepper steak he said was very good as usual. But now his meal doesn't not come with spring roll, I had to order that separately. The Lo mein was good as usual.

Doesn’t smell clean inside and my Mongolian chicken didn’t taste good. The chicken look fake and the rice tasted old.

Their Black Pepper Chicken is the best I have ever had. It’s sweet and savory with just a touch of heat. Their rangoons are triangular and somewhat flat and filled with delicious cream cheese. I will always recommend this restaurant.

The food is amazing. The portion sizes are huge. The bean curd with garlic is the best I've ever had anywhere. And the owners are super hard working and good people...

I ordered online for my daughter & grandchildren who live in Iowa. I live out of state. My daughter and grandsons said the food was really good & the portion sizes were big. The delivery time was fast. I would order again from Red Apple Chinese Restaurant.

A wonderful little Chinese restaurant. The food was the best Chinese I've had in a long time, and the portion fed my family of four.

The food was very fresh, the Eggrolls were crispy! The lo mein was great and the general tsos chicken was good!
They are very reasonably priced, $13 for most specials. I ordered takeout, so I didn't get the restaurant experience.

Went for lunch on a weekday. The menu has a lot of options. I ordered the appetizer platter. It came with several things. The eggroll tasted like a frozen supermarket eggroll. I think it was chicken. Didn't love it. The fried wonton was ok. The fried shrimp was pretty good. The shrimp toast was overcooked, and the bread absorbed too much oil. The chicken stick had a good flavor but was dry. The meat stick was dry with a weak flavor. The crab rangoon was mostly cream cheese. I wouldn't order the plattet again, but I'll try a few entrees to see why so many people recommended RAC.

Vegetarian options: They have a lot of options.

Parking: Paid street parking.

Kid-friendliness: Empty restaurant.
