    Hibachi
    John C.

    This restaurant has a lot of patrons which means high turnover on their food. Everything is fresh and doesn't get stagnant. Service is quick and plates get cleaned off quickly. The lines at the hibachi can get pretty long but worth the wait. It's located in a shopping plaza so plenty of parking. Food quality is ok but freshness is better than other locations

    Beef and broccoli & donuts. The beef was so tender and the donuts were so airy and delicious. I could eat those endlessly

    This buffet was amazing. I was not expecting the quality of the food to be so good for the price. We went on a Saturday, around 2:30PM. We were sat within 5 minutes. Each adult was $20. Toddler was $7. Free for one year old. My favorite food was the beef and broccoli, coconut shrimp & donuts. The had nuggets and fries for kids which is always great. Will definitely be returning.

    The price is decent for a buffet. We came on Saturday dinner price was $17.99 per person. The price varies from weekday to weekends, lunch vs dinner. Service was mediocre. There's tons of people lining up after paying to get a table to eat on a Saturday evening. There's lots of selection of food. Ice cream is free however if you take it to go it will be 75 cents. The ambiance is nice. Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 4/4

    We used to like it a lot. Today's visit was let down. They still have consistently good food and selection, but the place was dirty, smelled terrible, and even drinks tasted like some paint mixed in. Vegetables did not taste fresh as their refrigerator does not keep fresh or something. I would not return to the restaurant in this unsanitary way. They need to shut down and clean the place up. If the FDA visits them, they will shut them down for sure. However, the service was good. I would only recommend this place once they clean up the place.

    Food was ok Service was pretty good for a Sunday afternoon Even tho it was crowded it didn't feel uncomfortable Good to try once a year honestly

    Nice selection

    Was starving after shopping around Jersey and decided to give this place a try. For its price, it's really not bad. For covid measures everyone was wearing a mask and is required to have a mask on once you leave your table. Seatings between tables were spaced apart with a minimum of 6 feet distance. Temperature was taken prior to being seated. Lastly, they provide gloves for you to use the utensils to serve yourself. There's a salad bar, hot food section, sushi, and hibachi. The hibachi was my favorite because there's a great selection of chicken, steak, beef, shrimp, vegetables, noodles, and rice. My favorite part was their unlimited ice cream. Although the selection is wide spread but I was disappointed with some of their foods turnover. Also, some of the food like chicken wings, shrimp, pork ribs were lacking flavor and freshness. Perhaps the food turnover haven't been so great since there wasn't much people on a Saturday night. Overall, this place has really good selections and I would give it another shot.

    Back when I first moved to Elizabeth, NJ one of my go to places to get Chinese take out was Red…read moreApple. The General Tsao's Tofu and Lobster Lo Mein were among my favorites. For a variety of reasons once 2010 or so rolled around I stopped getting take out from Red Apple. Recently I wanted to grab some food for dinner so I got off my bus before my stop to grab some food. This is not a sit down restaurant. You go in and order your take out, sit on a chair to wait and then head out with your food. The place looks very much the same as it did over ten years ago but they added a Hibachi extension next door. When I look back at my older review, I really feel that I should have given it 4 stars, but Yelp ratings were a tad different back then if I recall correctly. I have to say that after all this time I am very sad to give it such a low rating now. I am very sure at this point that the owners of this place are not the same ones from years ago (at the very least the chef is different). I picked up three dishes and well...read on... SHRIMP TOAST This is a Chinese take-out classic that I remember having back in New York City from several Chinese places so I've had this dish a *lot* in my time. Usually you want it to be crispy but light with a nice chew on the inside where the shrimp paste is sandwiched between two pieces of bread. For the most part they did an okay job here but the toast was fried too long. Much of the outside ranged from black to dark brown when it should really be golden brown. The flavor was good but if it had not been overcooked it would have been better. COLD SESAME NOODLES This is one of my favorite dishes from Chinese take-out places. However, it is hard to find a place that does it *well*. Even when it is only "okay" however, it has some commonalities. Usually there are egg noodles with some type of peanut or sesame based sauce, scallion and sesame seeds. Some places also add hot sauce to give it some extra kick. What Red Apple gave me was...not this. Oddly, I"m not sure *what* they gave me. The noodles were warm, the topping was a vegetable medley with...onions? There was no sesame or peanut sauce. Really, the whole dish just tasted like a light veggie lo mein which was *bizarre* and not at all what I ordered. GENERAL TSAO'S TOFU This was one of my favorite dishes from this place so I was excited to have it again. Then I saw it and I knew something was wrong. Most General Tsao's dishes should have fried chunks of something (chicken, tofu etc.) with a thick red sauce that caramelizes around the edges. The sauce should have some sweet and savory elements (and ideally a tad of spice via peppers). What I got? Was...not that. The tofu chunks were in a runny, thin sauce that tasted *terrible*. It just tasted like sugary sauce with a pile of salt on it. It was so terrible I wound up eating a few bites and tossing the rest. I'm so sad to be writing this review. I really had hoped this update would be a 4* celebration of a place I used to go to but I think I'll be staying away for a while.

    Delicious. Love their sesame chicken, half fried chicken & boneless spare ribs. Delivery extremely…read morefast.
