Is this Waterloo's Best kept secret. We are from West Des Moines IA, traveling around. Today's road trip ?. Googled red apple ?. This came up not a lot of starts ?. Which is sad. This place is really good ? even my wife loved it . Quick fast food delivery to the table and a calming restaurant to boot. Must come
November 2023
General tso is completely drenched in the sauce, chicken was dry. You would think with all the sauce the meat would be somewhat moist. Waterloo Iowa Chinese food needs an upgrade because this ain’t it…
