Complimentary
Julie S.

Checked out Apple Green Bistro with my husband. I did not know what to expect from the name. Did it expect the complimentary celery with peanut. Enjoyed all our dishes especially the seafood egg tofu. Good service and efficient.

Located in Cupertino Village, parking is plentiful but spots can be difficult to find during peak hours. The amniance was average/loud. Food came out quick. Flavor was good. The sauteed eggplants were so yummy. Overall, Apple Green Bistro is good. Service is quick and food is good.

stirfry green beans and eggplants
Yumei H.

My family and I dined here on a Thursday night and the plaza was extremely busy. We got seated right away and ordered through the qr code. Out of the three items we got, I would recommend the green bean and eggplant stirfry and the beef stirfry with green onions. The pork ribs were really bland and had a really strong porky taste. Overall, pretty fast service and decent chinese food!

I come here every once in a while, and it's also super solid for savory food, especially Sichuan flavors. The most recent time I came it was during Chinese new years and they had some bundles with less Sichuan flavors but it was still great (e.g. sweeter dishes). Was quite busy and packed when I went.

Grilled Eggplant with Meat on Sizzling Plate
Wei Y.

The food here tastes like homemade cooking, and the portions are pretty generous -- but everything is very greasy. Cold Noodle with Chicken - 5/5 Highly recommend this one! The noodles felt like they just came out of the fridge, super refreshing and perfect for a hot day. The chicken was tender and smooth. The sauce wasn't too spicy and had a nice hint of sweetness. Szechwan Style Shredded Potato - 2/5 Tastes just like something you'd get at home. It's sour and spicy, but very oily -- especially once it cools down. The greasiness really stands out. Grilled Eggplant with Meat on Sizzling Plate - 3/5 At first bite, it was great -- crispy outside, soft inside, and the meat was nicely seasoned. But once it cooled off, it just tasted way too greasy.

We always have a great experience at Apple Green Bistro. The service is fast and the food is consistently good. The fried fish is something we recommend if you're craving something crispy. We also ordered the potatoes with Sichuan chili oil and coriander. Small portion, but perfect as an appetizer and the flavors complemented each other nicely. We tried the fish soup as well, which came out still boiling. It had that classic numbing spice. Good flavor, though we couldn't finish it because of the intensity. Overall, solid food and great service every time!

Very good Chinese restaurant in Cupertino! Though as other reviewers have pointed out, the dishes tend to the more greasy side, that's exactly what makes this taste so good and authentic. We ordered a variety of dishes and all of the portion sizes were really good. The fish was definitely a must get - it is a tad bit spicy though!

Best Cupertino Chinese restaurant! I give it 5 starts. The food was just EXCELLENT The best Kung Pao Chicken I've tried, hands down. The cuisine is mandarins style. If you like spicy food, this is your place. This restaurant uses the scan QRcode system, which means you have to place your order using your phone. The outside does not look anything special to be honest, but the food! Oh my!!! The best. Ordered Items: 1.) Kung Pao Chicken 2.) Chinese Watercress 3.) side Steamed Rice 4.) Sprite (can) Total bill $39-$40 (without tip) With tip my total was $47 WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY

I wonder if we ordered all the wrong things. Everything was super greasy and gross. I got terrible heart burn from eating here. We were really excited about this place too. The decor is clean and bright. Qr to order. Staff was okay friendly.

Vegetable Tofu in Brown Sauce
Jay S.

To me, the best dish was the vegetable tofu in brown sauce, because it was flavorful enough to enjoy various kinds of flavors. The establishment is clearly a Chinese restaurant that many would visit on a random basis, as it is located amongst a lot of stores that have Chinese on their titles or related to Chinese culture in an outlet format in Cupertino. I thought the Kung Pao Chicken was pretty standard and was good enough to make myself full. The black mushroom with vegetables was unfortunately below my expectations as the mushrooms had strong flavor while the vegetables didn't have any, causing a flavor imbalance, while the dish itself didn't have enough juice or broth to allow some mushroom umami flavor to flavor up the vegetables. The sesame bread with green onion was pretty thick and I mostly used it to accompany my dishes instead of rice, and since it was flavorless itself, it worked out fine. However, if one was expecting it to taste like the scallion pancakes that are popular in China, then one could be disappointed. Since there were other Chinese restaurants around the area, if I make it around the area again, I would most likely try another spot instead.

Seafood Egg Tofu On Sizzling Plate
Jenny X.

I came here with my parents and it was a no-frills chill Chinese place! Good: - Quick place, the food came out minutes after we ordered! - I liked the seafood hot plate with tofu - The A choy dish was healthy tasting, not too oily - Dim place, quiet, and good for catchups Bad: - Not much service, takes a while to flag someone down Overall, it is a nice place for quick authentic Chinese food! Reasonable price wise as well.

Cauliflower with Pork in Hot Pot
Nancy L.

We used to come here at least every month before pandemic and just came back tonight. We had a great experience. Food 4/5 We had the following: - Cauliflower & pork hotpot 5/5 - mushrooms chicken 4/5 - beef with peppers and cilantro 4/5 - fish with tofu 4/5 - spicy cold noodles (free with cash purchase over $55) 4/5 (mostly noodles but tasty and free!) - beef chow fun 4/5 - green beans 4/5 - walnut prawns 4/5 (prefer less sweet but a favorite) Above came out to be $160 for 8 of us. Very reasonably priced and satisfying with no leftovers and just enough. Service 4/5 Used link to order but requested menu to see bigger pictures. Service was adequate for Chinese restaurant. Ambiance 4/5 3 large tables and clean restaurant

Usually you might remember the experience, an entree, but the name will elude you. Home Eat is a memorable name, and while it isn't a phrase that we might use often, it feels like a perfect encapsulation of the feeling of eating here, even if I've never eaten like this in my home or in any. Known for the chicken wings, yes, but try more. You may eat like a king or queen with just a few orders, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best Chinese cuisine I've ever sampled. Great service too: fast and friendly.

I asked an inside table, not unreasonable considering I had four people and two physically restrained. He flat-out refused citing that's for five people even though tables were empty. The older female staff granted us right away. They need more training in how to communicate with customers and be accommodating and considerate. Later on this unprofessional amateur gave me a dissaproving look. Since when did the service become a dumpster fire?? Did he buy this place? Definitely taking ownership in a twisted manner. Remember Customers are always right in almost any circumstances. Your job is to make me happy. Food was still ok. There was no service yet they engerly expect you to tip them 18% for non existent service. What a lazy place.

Udon with good flavor but small portions!…read more I'm always on the lookout for new udon places to try, so we stopped by here on a Friday night around peak dinner time. It was busy but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. I ordered the Spicy Uzumakiya Udon. The flavor was there -- deep savory notes of oxtail and dashi that wasn't too salty. However, I felt like the udon noodles were limp and soggy! Maybe they were overcooked that day. I was also underwhelmed by the toppings -- 2 paper-thin slices of chashu, some fried lotus root, and one piece of bok choy for an 18$ price tag is steep. The Beef Curry Udon was better -- it had some pieces of oxtail in the curry broth, at least. Service was nice and our server even helped us figure out which dishes were dairy-free and offered to sub the meat toppings with extra veggies. Also, there was a lady seated near us making a scene about mold being on her plate. She was livid! She talked to the owner and ended up storming out. Of course I didn't see the mold she was upset about, but yikes!

We came as a party of 5 and so we could order more food to try. Overall, solid quality of food,…read morethe rice noodle is consistent across all dishes. The Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Roll is good with the amount of beef and tendon on it. The dim sum combo of shiu mai, steam cake and chicken feet are also good. I particularly like the shiu mai as it came in a steam basket of 4 and each of them were huge. We also got the Fish Porridge; the fish filets were crunchy in texture, which is how it's supposed to be. The Lotus Leaf Sparerib Rice also has good spareribs, flavorful, good cuts and not having broken bones as the spareribs are not the same as the dim sum kind. Service was also good. They arranged our seating so we could seat more comfortably as soon as the neighboring table opened up. They didn't come to take away the dirty dishes quick enough though; lucky our table was big enough so we piled up the dirty dishes away. They provided us a cup of water upon seating down, so we had to ask for refill each time, would prefer to do our own water refill if possible. The store is doing a promotion, if you prepay $300, you get an extra $50 in value. If you prepay $500, then the extra value got to $100. It's good value as you can apply it to anything including tips and taxes. We also like that their tip calculation suggestion started at 15% and not the 18% as most restaurants are.

The standout for me was the turnip cake as it had a crunxhy exterior and packed with flavor. Their chili oil was an absolute bomb and made every bite even better. Honestly, almost everything we ordered was delicious. The only dish that didn't really do it for me was the beef tendon. It just wasn't as flavorful as the rest of the meal and felt like the weakest item we ordered.

I'm half Teochew but didn't really grow up in the culture. I've brought my Teochew dad before and he thought it wasn't very authentic. I thought it tasted fine though, but my dad is incredibly picky. My second visit was just me and my partner. We heard about the $9.99 Hainan Chicken deal to promote the opening of their new restaurant location. There was a long wait, as you can imagine for a deal like this! We waited maybe 30 minutes before being seated. The waitress immediately clocked that I could speak Cantonese when seating me. That auntie's got a gift! Especially since most Chinese folks my age in the area seem to be Mandarin speakers. I'm still wondering how she knew! We each ordered a dish of the Hainan chicken rice.

The whole dish was very bland, which, based on reviews of saltiness, just shows inconsistent quality control coming out of the kitchen.

I did a quick Yelp search and was surprised (and excited!) to find LHL Malatang just under 10 minutes from home! The place wasn't busy at all when we got there, which meant no crowding at the buffet style section. I loved how smooth it was to grab all my favorite toppings without having to wait in line. Only minor letdown? There were only a few slices of beef left, so I opted for lamb instead but it still hit the spot. My bowl ended up being about $26, which honestly felt like a steal considering it was nearly 2 lbs of food. Definitely way more affordable than some other spots I've been to. I went with the mild beef bone broth but my Bestie got the sour spicy beef bone broth and wow, game changer. I kept sneaking sips from his bowl! Next time, that's definitely what I'm getting. Super flavorful and it lingered in the best way. All in all, I'm a fan. With how close it is to home, I can already tell this is going to be my new go to malatang fix.

Their sauce bar is clean and well-stocked, however I did feel that their sesame sauce was watered down. I got the spicy bone broth in hot and I thought it had enough of a kick, but I could've gone spicier! My friend and I also felt that their broth didn't have enough of the richness/depth that we enjoy. I'll give them another visit in a few weeks to see if they work out the few kinks. They're offering 15% off your entire bill until mid May in celebration of their grand opening!
