    Sesame chicken combo
    Joanne E.

    Great local restaurant, family owned and run. Great portion sizes. Has dine in or carry out. Fast service. Love Apple Garden!

    Ana Z.

    This is a tough one as I'm really mixed on this place. Typically I really like it or not. Those that are on the fence make it rough to give an accurate "rating" but based on the big negative about the place and unless we try it in the future, a solid 2 stars is where it's at. Most people giving feedback around here aren't very descriptive or helpful, I'll do my best to explain all that I can so you can decide if it's for you. Keep in mind, this was on Christmas Eve so the 25 min wait is to be expected. We have had a tradition in our family (kudos to those that know why OR do the same) to eat Chinese food the night before Christmas. While on an outing it was crunch time. It wasn't too late in the night but the first 3 places I called in Blaine were closed so I chose Circle Pines next. Only 3 options showed, first didn't answer, one seemed like a fancy sit down place, therefore we were left with this Apple Garden. Phone confusion: The entire phone conversation was confusing. Certain things didn't come with rice, others did. It was a mess. This is the first time possibly in my lifetime I've ever been to a place where common menu items were not considered combos... ok, sure, I'll adapt and overcome. Perhaps it's something different in this area compared to the other states. There are only 14 combos but it's baffling that "chicken almond ding" is a combo vs countless others. Not my restaurant, not my decision. After the confusing call and the 25 minute wait time over the phone it was well over 35+ to get our food. While inside there was a steady amount of people coming inside. Hard to say if that's the norm, if this place is popular, or if other people partake in the tradition like we do, but this was good to see. The young girl at the cash register wasn't very stoked about her day.. sorry my dear :( Food parts: -I'll start with why I can't rate this place solidly yet. We ordered: Beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, chicken lo mein, and extra cream cheese wontons. There are several adults sharing and little ones between 3-5 eating. In the middle of dinner one adult grabs a bunch of paper towels and is fishing in her mouth. She bit down on something sharp and it cracked into her teeth..... it was solid and pointy. She was a few seats away but they said it looked like a piece of bone. I imagine what would have happened if one of the kids bit into that and it lodged into their gums or choked on it? This was alarming. It went from happy times to serious after that moment. -The Chicken lo mein was pretty tasty, I've had a lot of bad lo mein in my day and have a particular way I like mine to taste. This was very delish! I sampled the sweet and sour chicken and it was decent. The sweet and sour sauce was nothing special. Pro tip: adding a piece of pineapple in the container is ultra cheesy but I love it. This place didn't do it (maybe this could be bad for those allergic to it..?) but places I've been in the past - it's like a special surprise waiting for me. -The fried rice wasn't anything special. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't good. I was hoping it was pork fried rice but in the car my family member said "they probably just include it" nope. Just. Rice. Maybe some peas. Maybe skipping on the combo was good. The steamed (white/sticky) rice was very good! For being "just rice" I loved the level of sticky it had. Not crumbling into pieces when I attempt to grab some. It was soft and delicate. Very pleasant to see. -Cream cheese wontons were my favorite part of the meal. How can you go wrong with them? I have a weakness for cream cheese and the crispies. It was perfect to taste. Overall: New to the area so this was a trial run. After the misc piece of hard bit in the food I'm not inclined to go back even though it's very close. Will try some of the other options in the area to see what else is around. Food was warm-hot. Service was ok, not great. They had a cool fish tank. Extensive menu. We put our phones away for dinner so I didn't get any of the food, but maybe I'll capture some leftovers later. If you feel up for new adventures, give it a try. We all have different experiences and that's what makes Yelp great.

    Wonderful service, the food is juicy and full of flavors . I definitely recommend trying them out. And they deliver as well.

    Nice, friendly neighborhood dining establishment that does a lot of take out orders! It's quiet, hometown atmosphere makes me love it as much as the food. I enjoy the food here, it's hot and nothing is unexpected! It's not the fanciest or nicest food adventure, but it's hometown flavor appeals to me. We always eat in, always taking leftovers home.

    I only ever order to go, but the food is always very good. A great, local Chinese restaurant.

    The NEW Apple Garden is fantastic. If you are into Cream Cheese Wontons, I highly recommend. Quality of food is A+. Best in the area.
