They have been recently raising the prices. This would probably not be advisable since there is a huge influx of Peruvian restaurants in the area. One of their dishes sells for $40 meanwhile I have found another great Peruvian place, 'Se Salio el Pollo', that has an equally good version for $23 and the portion is bigger.

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.

My family and I are New York ex-pats now living in New Jersey. We love Chinese food but haven't been able to find a place that comes close to the watered down americanized version of sezchuan chinese food we have grown to love. But this restaurant really comes close!! Here is the good: 1. The sesame chicken and general tso chicken were crispy and really tasty! 2. The general tso chicken was flavored nicely with a mild heat. 3. Large portions that 2 people can share. 4. They give you 2 free cans of soda if you order over 20 dollars 5. Food was cooked really quickly (even for Chinese food) Here is the bad: 1. They do not take credit cards :( 2. The egg rolls were greasy (but still tasty, lol crazy I know!) 3. The rice was a little bland and not as fluffy as we are used to but my daughter liked the rice when mixed with the chicken. Overall I gave it 4 stars because it is a great little local chinese place that offers tasty food at a great price even if it has a few shortcomings.

I called and it was kinda hard to understand the person on the other line but I order and was told to pick up in 10m so I did and while making my way to the restaurant I was called telling me my food a ready. I arrived and the employee was very nice! The place looked like a typical old Chinese food place, while walking up and telling the employee about my order I saw how they were waiting on me to serve me my food. So the pork ribs were hot and steamy! It was great I got Pepsi with pork boneless spare ribs with yellow rice. The total came to $13.50 USD so it was very worth it! The food came with a spoon, sauces, one of Avery kind. NO extra charge It was great! But there's no seats or tables it's just a walk in pickup.
