    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Some of the best Chinese food in the bay. I am not sure where the name is from but they have amazing food, great portions and prices too

    ordered tons of dishes but none were especially outstanding to me. some lacked flavors, some were too dry, and the flavor just wasn't right. i was excited for this place as i always see so many people here but sadly was disappointed. this place is full of spicy and crispy dishes but they just aren't making the dishes right.

    Came in a group of six recently, food and service didn't disappoint again. Everything was freshly made and delicious! Portion was generous and we were very satisfied with tasty food, friendly courteous service and undrained wallet. This time i recommend their fried pumpkin in salted egg and meatballs with veggies. Keep up the great work guys!

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

We ordered the Chicken Karaage, Gyoza, Hakata Tonkatsu and the Chicken Paitan. We wanted to order the Chicken Paitan DX but we were told that their grill was not working so they could not grill the chicken thigh that came with the DX order. The soups came in bowls that were irrgular shaped and colorful. Everything tasted good. The chicken Karaage was generously portioned and tasted great. My son devoured them in no time. The Hakata Tonkatsu had a very rich, well developed broth that was so delicious. Might have been a little too rich for me as I was not able to finish the meal. The chicken Paitan was also delicious but the broth was a lighter broth. Our gyoza order did not come until much later in the meal. We had to remind our waiter that we did not get our order. This dish, gyoza, was disappointing. It did not look like it was homemade - looked more store bought. We didn't care for the taste with the dipping sauce that came with it. Not sure if this was because we had the heavier broth first. It just fell flat after the robust and rich hakata tonkatsu meal I had. Service was friendly. The waiter and manager(?), were apologetic that the gyoza order was delayed (or forgotten?). They also apologized for their grill not working that day. I would definitely come back here to try the other items on their menu.

    TLDR: Food here is always yummy. Portions are a good size…read more They offer some set noodle soup bowls.. but my preference is to select exactly what I want for my noodle soup. First you select a broth (I don't do spicy, so I always pick their chicken broth; but friends and family enjoy the spicy flavors a lot). Then you pick your style of noodle (the fish noodle was fun to try, but I prefer the ramen or the knife-cut or rice noodles). Then you pick your toppings - a large variety of both meat and veggie options! It comes with a little veggies (spinach, corn, mushroom, bamboo) too. My favorite appetizer is their rice spicy honeycomb tripe - great marinade! Recently tried the Hainan chicken dish and it was good too (though I would prefer more ginger than scallion in the oil and the roasted peanuts, garlic cucumber are yummy too!). In the past we have also had the fried rice, which my kiddos really love. But the true highlight is to get the "large" soup noodles where they serve it in a bowl larger than your whole head. Didn't get it this past visit because we weren't that hungry... but it is always a fun order! I enjoy having the treat of a drink with their combo deal. :)

I did 4 add ons (brisket, tendon, wood ear, and pork stomach). The ingredients were all pretty solid. The rice noodle was good. Broth was great. I added the spicy sauce into my broth - their spice is fragrant and flavorful. Overall, it's a solid choice. I'd want to come back and try their Hainan chicken next time.

It's just too far when you're hungry and slightly hangry... 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!
