We ordered the Pupu Platter, pork fried rice, crab rangoons and chicken fingers. Pretty nasty stuff. All overcooked in dirty oil. You know the taste. The woman who waited on us was friendly. Maybe just a bad night, but I won't go there again. read more

We got takeout from here 3 times - 1x/ year during a fall visit to the area It is reasonably priced and ok quality. This year was not as good as past years, but the food is always hot and fast. They have good variety on the menu, too. read more

Not shown in photos: egg roll,white rice, and veggie lo mein. I truthfully enjoyed most of this food very much. We couldn't find much information online for a menu so we went off of an old menu posted by another user. The rice and lo mein were very overcooked and had a very fishy flavor (even the white rice). However everything else was excellent. We ordered chicken egg too young. I'm not certain there was any chicken in it however this was the best egg too young I've ever had. Definitely the highlight of the meal. Egg rolls were mediocre but the crab Rangoon were spot on. Would order again if in the area. PS: storefront is very easy to miss when picking up. read more

Food was nasty. Never ever going there again. Egg roll was good but lo mein and chicken and everything else was squishy and just over all very unpleasant. Ended up throwing it all away read more

Best in Lee, Best egg roll in Lee. Service is very good a quick.. Here is how you find a good chineese place... 1. A place you might get mugged (Check, Don't judge a book by it's cover) 2. Dingy and Old picture menu's (Check) 3. Real asians working there (Check) 4. Broken windows and a Yankee shopper by the door (Check) 5. Uncomfortable food court tables (Check) 6. In need of a remodel (Check) 7. (ChEEEap) (Check) Don't change a think... You nail my 7 checks for a Chineese place. Panda house is better quality,Ambiance by also 3x prices. Failes 6 of 7, While Red Apple Nails all 7... read more

I have lived in Lee my whole life and Red Apple never fails to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. The Chicken Lo Mein has always been a consistent comfort food throughout my whole life living here. Always the first choice when it came down to choosing where to get food with my friends. The nostalgia from the taste is imprinted in my tastebuds as like maybe a cheerio breakfast you would eat before school when you were younger. Now to think of it, in Elementary school years my Dad would always warm up some leftovers from Red Apple before school. Never was a cereal person. Red Apple always hit the spot more than any sugary cereal, in my opinion. Very hard working and progressive staff. Never have been even a minute behind the time they say it will be ready. Very reliable. If they aren't talkative just know they're saving their energy into making the food as delicious as it always is. 5/5 recommend. read more

Decent takeout chinese food. I find that they really shine with their appetizers, but some of the entréesare lacking. Prices are fair.

The food is decent here and so is the service. A little pricey, but still worth ordering from.

Love the food, love the family. The Ni family has been serving Lee for as long as I can remember. It's reliable and delicious. We love it so much my daughter chose it for her high school graduation party. They were so accommodating with large platters of all her favorites. read more

The dumplings were huge and the sauce was great--just wish I ordered more!! There were about eight!!! I also ordered the chicken and broccoli which I usually do, and since I've known them for about 18 years didn't need to give my name for the order--takeout. Recommended. read more

Best chicken lo mein I've ever had and the people were very kind and helpful. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!

We were pleasantly surprised to find this unassuming location clean & friendly with large portions super tasty Chinese restaurant tucked in the back of a shopping center-in Lee next to Walgreens close to Stockbridge and Lenox Its mainly a take out but has a few tables to eat inside as well You won't be disappointed if your craving Chinese food while visiting Tanglewood or just a visit to the Berkshire's read more

Tried ordering an order for pick up. Lady who answered the phone had me wait over 15 minutes. I hung up and called back, the same lady answered the phone. I said I would like to order for pick up. Lady said can you hold on. I asked if it would be another 15 minutes. Her response was I don't know how long you will have to wait we are busy. Come on Red Apple how long does it take to write 4 orders? Disappointment read more

These people who wrote that Red Apple did not have the food ready on time are full of it. I eat there every week. They are never late. I ask for extra broccalli instead of rice because of diabetes. they always cook the broccoli to perfection. The food is cheep. It's not fresh. It's cheep and fast and delicious. read more

They have the BEST chicken lo mein! I discovered this gem over a decade ago and it has never let me down. I've brought friends there and they agree with me that the lo mein is amazing! This is totally worth hopping off of the Mass Turnpike (I-90) if you're out on the highway in that wild wild western part of Massachusetts! read more

Worst food ever! 4 out of 5 entrees were inedible! Crab Rangoon was awful, egg rolls over done. Beef teriyaki was dry, tough and no flavor. Fried rice very dry and white rice stuck together. Kung Pao chicken was breaded chicken but tiny pieces that looked like they were leftover from something. Sesame chicken was okay. read more

One word: wow!!. I don't get how there are yelpers that gave this place more than 1 star. The general chicken I had wasn't even the right sauce. Furthermore the dish was overly sweet like candied yam. Yes, it is closer to candied yam. Every dish We ate was sweet. Even the fried dumpling was sweet with that soy sauce. I had low expectations coming here and it still didn't help. I kinda feel bad posting this review since they seem like good people with the family working together but really bad food has to be called out. I hope they would improve for the future. read more

Very good basic Chinese food. Greecy down and dirty and good. Reliable takeout chinese

Our experience at Red Apple was a little unfortunate. I want to support a family business but this just didn't meet even lowered expectations. This is truly a family owned restaurant with teen age kids taking orders and bagging while parents, grandparents and others cooking in the back. The price isn't bad. However there is really only one cook so when they are busy it can take a while. They quoted me 25 minutes and it was closer to 40. The biggest issue is that the food is largely cooked from package. I wanted frozen crab Rangoon go into the fryer and pre made chicken get cooked. Our pan fried dumplings were fine but itching special. Beef with broccoli was also fine simple. The wontons in the soup were also obviously prepared ahead. The beef chow wei fun was prepared dry and without sauce. We probably won't order here again although if we are looking for cheap staying with things that can't be pre-made would be the way to go. read more

Red Apple - Usual Chinese menu - Chinese Near Me - Lee, Massachusetts

Ok, if the obviously very young daughter answers the phone? Just ask for an adult. Yeah, that's not the typical way to run a business, but? She is a cute kid and the food is fine (it is EXACTLY what you'd expect: Chinese food from a non-gourmet Chinese restaurant: pretty darn good, not amazing). Anyway, cut everyone a break, ask for an adult, eat Chinese food. Everyone is happy. read more

Adequate Chinese food for the area. Not great but better than other local options. The staff is delightful and accommodating.

My go to place for Chinese Does not look like much, typical fast food Chinese joint But everything they make is great, Fresh and tasty Same family has run the place for years read more

Always excellent service and food! This is a WONDERFUL family run business. They are exceptional! Love them and their food! Highly recommend them! read more

Delicious food, delivers for us, and the nicest family you've ever met. Seriously do not sleep on this place- I recommend the m2

Traditional Chinese American fare. You can ask for it to be made Chinese style only, leaves out the sugars and adds some spices. The price is right and they will deliver. read more

I walked in the door and the whole place smelled like a dirty bathroom. Turned around and left.

This is our go to Chinese takeout place. No it's not superlative Chinese food, but for quick inexpensive takeout it's always been excellent. For those foolish reviewers who are dissing the kids, they are teenagers and they speak much better English than their parents. When I want something special I much rather explain it to them and this restaurant is happy to make it for me. It's clean but not pristine and the overwhelming smell is that of oil cooking in a wok. Exactly like that in any other takeout Chinese restaurant. I'm a long-term Berkshire resident and I've tried all of the inexpensive take-out Chinese food places. Red Apple is clearly the best. read more

We have ordered food from here for many years. The food has always been consistent, and yummy! The family is incredibly nice and hard working and the young daughter who answers the phone speaks perfect english, making the order very easy and simple. She is a bright girl and a big help! We do not hesitate to recommend this place. I give it 4 stars as it is more of a take out restaurant though they do have a few tables you could sit and eat at. When I first moved to the Berkshires in the early 80's there was no Chinese restaurant close by. We are thrilled to have the Red Apple near us and we order at least once or twice a month and they even deliver to areas nearby. Thank you Red Apple! read more

disgusting! had the chicken with broccoli...very little chicken came with boneless spare ribs that were over cooked and tasteless! Won't go back!! read more

The food is decent. The young girl answering the phone is who you want answering the phone as her English is excellent. What really needs help is the appearance of the place. It looks dirty and the tables are sometimes sticky feeling. The bathrooms are always out of order. So, if you can overlook that, its not too bad for this area. read more

Very good fried rice! Their crab rangoons are really good as well, and all for a good price. The inside of the place should be redone though. Really empty and isn't very welcoming. read more

I called in for delivery 65 minutes ago. A child is taking orders on what sounds like a very busy Friday night. I just called back and asked the child about my order and her response was "My dad is very busy so maybe another twenty minutes?". I wanted to like this place but this is ridiculous. read more

Do not care for their food at all. I get the same dish at every like place and theirs just isnt good. Service was okay.

The food at the red Apple is pretty good. We prefer it over the other Chinese takeout in Lee. I have no complaints about any of the items I've got here. read more

I feel like 3 stars is legit for this restaurant. It's basically a quick food/takeout place at good prices. The food can be hit or miss and it's run by a family that is always nice to me. I've been many times and I always get fresh food and a good amount for the money it costs but like I said it can be hit or miss and sometimes you get a greasy or funny tasting meal read more

Since we are local residents, we've gone there from time to time for takeout orders. The place is dirty with home made contraptions holding up shelves. Atmosphere is nil, that's why we only do takeout. The food is mediocre, at times ingredients have niot seemed fresh, particularly if you order something uncommon. If your idea of Chinese food is deep fried chicken nuggets with bright red (artificially colored) sauce, then this place is for you. If you really know Chinese food, it's not. read more

We have been coming here for years, every summer and winter vacation. Best Chinese restaurant in the Berkshire area. Not gourmet but good enough for my Taiwanese parents and my family. Ask for the hot and sour soup without sugar. As they cater to locals, you have to ask them to cook the way asian people like it. It is a family owned business and now the daughter takes the orders and manages the bill. No atmosphere to speak of for dining in but Chinese food is really about the food not the ambiance. The standard fare, Pepper Steak, Shrimp with Lobster sauce, Chicken Lo Mein, etc are all very tasty. read more

On vacation in the area for a week, we ended up ordering delivery from Red Apple twice. The quality of the food was consistently excellent, the portions generous, and the prices more than reasonable. The crab rangoon are large and crispy. The sesame chicken and General Tso's are well-glazed, and the pork-fried rice is tender and full of flavor. The staff on the phone are efficient and clear. If we come up this way again, which is likely, we will definitely order from here again. We had better experiences with Red Apple than with other restaurants in the area, and it is one of only a couple that deliver. read more

Decent food from a family run business. Accommodated food allergy issues without trouble. While there are tables, this is primarily a take-out place. Reasonable prices and portions. read more
