Apple Jade does Poke Bowls now and they are incredible. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the raw fish, the freshness of all of the veggies, and the portions were generous. I will definitely be returning and telling all of my friends. read more

Horrible service. Reviewed order multiple times. items missing from order. Poor communication. So many other options in the area. Avoid the hassle. read more

I ordered the bourbon and fried rice with an egg roll and fried rice was good. The eggroll was decent. The bourbon chicken was dry in a little bit burnt. read more

Love this place. Just ordered odd DoorDash and the kind lady who had talked to me over the phone after asking a question about what was in a dish. This place deserves more stars then what it is at now!! Definitely coming back, I highly recommend the chicken lo mein! read more

It's a simple lil Chinese restaurant that's been in Frandor forever. The LoMein was tasty. Despite being busy, it was relatively quiet and quick. read more

I'm going to give this three stars because my food was good and delivered when still warm. The only issue I had with it was the sweet and sour chicken said it came with green peppers and onions. There were maybe one or two small pieces. If you don't want to give veggies, just say that, don't advertise it. If I order again, I will go ahead and assume the veggies that they list will not be included. read more

I'm not sure how long this place has been around, but I gave it a chance a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what took so long, but I'm glad I finally did. The portions are generous. The presentation is impressive. The food is great. I had appetizers, soups and mains. All were better than most of the local options and I'll be heading back. I haven't ordered for takeout yet, so I can't speak to that experience. read more

Was so disappointed in their sauces and once again, mixing precooked chicken with fresh chicken made it so tough that my dog got to eat it once I took the coating off. Chicken fried rice was good, but just get bothered when they try to stretch entrees by using chicken from a previous order. I'm more than happy to wait for freshly cooked chicken but get irritated by mixing of the cooking temps. read more

I've been going to Apple Jade my entire life, no joke! (2000-2019 and going strong!) My parents took me when I was an infant, and It has been my favorite place to eat ever since. Cost: The meals can be cost effective and absolutely delicious, you can definitely feed two people with one plate of fried rice! Definitely the cheapest place in town for the quality. Easily can be under 20$ for two people. The portions always leave me taking some home. Experience: Even when there's a single waitress on a busy night, they're still pretty fast! Everything is kept spotless. On the not so busy nights, the waitresses are so sweet, very fast, and work REALLY hard! Please tip them well. The bathrooms are always clean and somehow smell amazing, and even in there it's decorated nicely! The beautiful decor of Apple Jade shows the culture of the restaurant, It's classy enough to take a sweet girl on a date, but homey enough to sit down with the family and enjoy a hot meal. Overall: I have never had a bad experience at Apple Jade. Food is amazing, staff is fast and sweet, and everything is beautiful. What more can you ask? It's my favorite place to impress a date, and cheap enough for a 19 year old to pay for it all! Don't tell my date that, though ;) read more

It is hard to describe in words exactly how bad this is. I am uncertain as to how you under cook egg drop soup they have accomplished it at this restaurant good luck with the E. coli. They are serving eggrolls with their lunch special again very much undercooked. There are many other Chinese restaurants to choose from in the relative vicinity all of which would be an improvement over the particular restaurant. I will attach pictures of each of the complaints I have with this restaurant the rice in particular that comes with their lunch special is a Mexican brown rice and I'm sure that is probably what is cooking in the kitchen but that does not mean Mexican rice should be on an Asian plate. Get it correct this is not an Asian fusion restaurant the General tsao's chicken that I ordered is plain and simple a prepackaged General sows chicken that you could buy at Walmart or any other grocery store it has been heated up in a microwave and not deep-fried the way it should be for the price I paid I would recommend going anywhere else including the Taco Bell across the street and you'll get more food for your money that will at least be cooked to the specifications that it should be for fast food. This is an abysmal representation of a Chinese restaurant I would recommend anyone and everyone steer very clear this is cheap knock off Chinese food I'm surprise the business is still operating good luck with your health with the under cooking of food. read more

Apple Jade Restaurant - K. Egg Drop Soup. It taste as bad as it looks how the hell do you let this go out of your kitchen. - Taiwanese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Foods are very delicious but the portion was not as much as other regular Chinese restaurants. However, i definitely recommend this place. read more

Had a nice family lunch on Sunday. Interior looked clean and classy music added a little more peaceful sense what my wife really liked. Tried mapo tofu, curry chicken fried rice and double cooked port for main dishes. My kiddos liked the curry fried rice but note that they love spicy food. Taro bubble tea tastes very good and strawberry bubble tea looked for kiddos (exactly like strawberry milk taste + bubbles :) read more

Authentic and delicious Taiwanese food. So good! Try some of the regular menu as well. Our favorite foods are the hot and spicy tofu w/ground pork, lemon chicken, Taiwanese Stewed Ground Pork, Beef Noodle Soup pepper steak. Everything tastes so fresh! read more

Horrible service! Treat different race people different way, so disappointed and never go again!

Tried this place on a whim/recommendation from a friend. Menu lists dishes in english as well as traditional chinese characters :) Loved the ambiance and decor was simple. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! We had kimchi fried rice and coconut curry chicken. Especially loved the bubble tea. Glad to finally find a decent bubble tea place away from campus. Will certainly be back again to try more dishes (and the lunch specials looked promising also) read more

If you're in the mood for non-authentic Chinese food, this could be your place. As for me, I'll spend my money elsewhere. I had the Hunan beef, which was cooked fine including the good crunch vegetables. It was overwhelming in the "heat" department, while lacking in the flavor dept. Pan fried dumplings were good, but then again... it's rather difficult to screw these up. While the food was definitely edible, there are just many more places that do it much better. read more

I've been going here about 40 times a year for the last 3 or 4 years. What this restaurant does well: speed, taste, friendliness, affordability, location What this resturant does poorly: speak english fluently, variety on lunch menu, beverage refills I typically ask for my meals to be prepared extra spicy. That dials up the flavor an extra notch. read more

I finally decided to try it for the first time today. I ordered the Hunan Tofu and Kimchee Fried Rice; I was thoroughly disappointed. Both dishes lacked flavor and the fried rice had an overwhelming burnt egg flavor. The service wasn't horrible, but definitely wasn't the best. Needless to say, I will not return to this restaurant. To anyone that may want to try Apple Jade - Save Your Money!! read more

Not sure why this place has poor ratings. The food was delicious and relatively authentic. The 'Taiwanese' section on the back of the menu has some especially good listings. If you come here, don't expect the taste of typical Americanized Chinese food; Taiwan and China are two different countries and the food in Apple Jade is much closer to the real deal than buffet-fare. When we went it was pretty slow, but our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed it. They also have very good bubble tea! read more

This was a very decent experience. Prices are good for the amount of food you get. I love that the food is always "hot and fresh." The only down side is paying extra for an egg roll instead of soup. Overall good place. read more

Ordered from here tonight for the first time; food came within the promised time frame. Egg rolls were good, Fried a Rice was good. Ordered General Tso white meat & got some chicken & vegetable dish instead. That is the whole reason for only one star. Likely will not order from here again. read more

This little gem is a sleeper! Standard fare at good pricing for lunch. We got Mongolian Beef and Broccoli Chicken with 2 egg rolls. The food was fast and fresh. Quality was better than I had anticipated. The Mongolian beef was excellent! I will be back! read more

Terrible overpriced bland food. Slow inaccurate service. This place has gone downhill over the past year. Many other and much better options for Asian food in the Frandor area. read more

New owners, so we decided to try it. I'm Chinese American and born and raised in Los Angeles area, so I'm usually very reluctant to go to a Chinese restaurant in the Midwest (yeah, pretty much all of the Midwest), but I was surprised by this restaurant. I got a few dishes - mapo tofu, shrimp and garlic stir fry, and lemon chicken. They were delicious and not at all greasy, which is usually how Chinese food goes here (greasy, not delicious). Sure, they will have the sweet and sour stuff (Chicken, shrimp, you name it), fulfilling what White Americans expect of Chinese food, but there are other simpler dishes that are subtle in flavor and more like a home-cooked meal. I would come back! read more

Food was plentiful in quantity so big portions if you're into lotsa food for value. Quality is what you'd expect but not above and beyond Lansing in general. Give it a try! read more

Very reasonable price...I got tofu curry, which was very good. Nice and clean place. Not many people though. I was the only one eathing there read more

Oh how I miss this place. I used to go here once a week when I went to MSU. I live outside of NYC now and I still cannot find better Chicken Fried Rice or Egg Rolls. They are truly the best I have ever had. General's Chicken is also outstanding. Can't go wrong with this place. I dont understand the poor reviews on here, but just a suggestion: Do not listen to anyone who recommends chinese buffets (review below). Ugh! read more

First off i give each buisness more than one try so here gos their chicken is dry there orange chicken tasted just lile sweet and sour and prices are also garbage for the piss poor excuse they call food. read more

I love apple Jade. Their friend wontons served with sweet and sour sauce are a wonderful appetizer to share. Their egg drop soup is wonderful and light I'm completely addicted. Any entree you get will be delicious and won't disappoint. I have tried several and they are all great. My favorite is Hunan Chicken but if you are not one for spice this one isn't for you. It's very spicy. You'll always be served quickly and the staff is very attentive and polite. Nice quiet atmosphere and clean. read more

I got delivery from a 3rd party website. It only took an hour and twenty minutes to arrive!! The vegetable spring rolls were greasy like they had been fried and then re-heated in the fryer. They were tepid when thy arrived and there was so much oil that bag was stained on the spring roll side. The plum sauce they came with was nice and covered up the bad pretty well. The beef in the garlic beef could have been pork or something else. It was beige in color and had an awkward flavor. The green peppers in the dish were overcooked to the point of being mush. It was obvious that I got the bottom of the rice cooker in my order of white rice. Those of you with a rice cooker at home know what I am talking about. This was the first and last time I will try Apple Jade read more

A great little place tucked away in a strip mall sort of building. Been there many times over many years. Most recently, picked up several appetizers to go...really good dumplings (get them fried), spicy won tons (just a bit of a bite...not seriously hot), won ton soup, and a couple of egg rolls. The pork dumplings really are quite good but the egg rolls are average at best. My favorite entree is mu shu pork (probably killed the spelling there, sorry). Other entrees are good but not necessarily world class, but very decent. The menu seems to be branching out a bit...e.g., pad Thai which was a special the other night. Service is always quick but don't expect much help w/picking what's best or even recommended. read more

It tastes good but the portion is too small. I had beef scallion pancake which can barely fill my belly.

Under new ownership, several of the dishes have improved significantly. Lovely service. We really enjoy the place.

OK, went back to this place a couple days later and was not happy. I ordered the General's Chicken (Supposed to be General Tso's chicken but white meat) and I expected what I ordered the other day. Nope, it was a stir fry that tasted like chop suey. It was salty and nasty (Maybe its supposed to taste like this???). I am not sure why it wasn't the same good Generals Chicken I had the other day (similar to all other restaurants that serve it). I would give this dish 1 star but I will take some of the responsibility as maybe that is what the dish was supposed to be and I ordered wrong?? I recommend having them explain the dish before you complete your order as there are no pictures. If I wasn't so hungry at the time, I would have sent it back and got what I originally wanted but instead I sucked it up as I did not want to hold up my guests waiting for another dish. read more

OKKAYYY SIS!! So I didn't have high expectations for this place at first, having read some of the reviews, so I was just expecting something decent. I did however decide to give them the benefit of the doubt and went to go try em out! My boyfriend and I ordered the hot and spicy wontons for an appetizer. Needless to say it was a little underwhelming. Wontons tasted very unseasoned and almost like they'd been store bought frozen. Yikes. This ultimately left me kind of disappointed and not looking forward to the rest of me meal. However, we decided to stay to see if the rest of the dishes would sway our judgement about this place and boy were we glad we stayed! I ended up ordering the beef noodle soup AND LISTEN!!!! This was the most beautiful bowl of beef noodle I've ever seen like oh my sweet baby jAYZUS! MAN and when I took a sip of the broth I had one them ratatouille moments haha. Anyway, the broth was not only complex in flavor but had so much depth. I'd never had a beef noodle soup this good before and I've basically tried every Taiwanese restaurant and cafe in Lansing. I was SHOOKDT. The noodles were soft and bouncy (weird description but you'll know when ya get em) and it reminded me of the noodles I used to get when I traveled to Taiwan a few years back! The entire meal, outside of the tiny appetizer, was extremely satisfying with good portion sizes. Not sure if it was just day for them or if it was the particular chef, but if you do go I recommend going on a Thursday and asking for the Balinese cook of he's available! Amazing. Will definitely return considering I almost pooped my self cuz the food was so dang good. Great seasoning, great people, great seasoned people. read more

Apple Jade Restaurant - Taiwanese Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Lack of flavor. Orange chicken wasnt sweet at all. Fried rice had no flavor. Completely disappointed. We arent picky eaters either.

New ownership and the food has gone downhill - nothing like the wonderful fare it used to be. Won ton soup is watery, chicken dishes have little flavor, walls are now adorned with TVs, etc. It's off my favored list of local restaurants. read more
