The fact that they think they can pull things like this is beyond. The container sizes have been standard for years. They have officially lost their minds.

We ordered the "shrimp and chicken Mei Fun", which is Singapore noodles with meat. The dish itself is pretty feeling and for the most part- really good. The chicken tasted a little bit stale/uncooked but the noodles were fine. I really just think this was an off night and maybe since it was Christmas Eve, they could've been a bit short staffed which could explain the cooking. As far as as the restaurant itself, it is very clean with plenty of space and tables to eat your food comfortably; you can either take out or eat dine in. Additionally, there is plenty of metered street parking. Overall, most times I've eaten here it's been pretty good. This could've been just one bad night out of the few.

The restaurant itself was super clean and pretty big, boasting a full bar area near the bathrooms. We shared a bunch of dishes and the start of the table was the Noodles with Sesame Sauce. Such a simple dish, but the sauce is what makes it. Think of the sauce you dip spring rolls in & then imagine that on a bed of noodles. SO GOOD! The Pork Chop Fried Rice was also a hit at the table! That pork chop was breaded every so lightly and flash fried on top of tasty fried rice. We of course had to get orders of Xiaolongbaos (soup dumplings) and all of them were really good. My least liked soup dumpling was the Szechuan dumpling because the sauce was a bit too spicy for my liking, so be aware! The rest of the dumplings we tried were good, pretty basic I'd say. Sorry to say it does not beat Din Tai Fung. But it was a good try. The rest of our entrees were good, just not memorable. Food came out fast and the quality was great for the price point. Our waitress Kayla was nice and pretty patient with our indecisive party of 5. Plenty of parking around the restaurant. Great establishment all around!

My Kung Pao chicken, however, had a slightly bitter taste, and I couldn't finish it. The egg roll and rice were both great. The portions were well-balanced, not overloaded with rice. The lo mein noodles were also very good, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. There's no dine-in option, but pickup was quick and the area was well-lit. It's a cash-only spot, but they have an ATM inside if you need it. Overall, it's a solid takeout choice. Every restaurant has one dish that misses the mark, and here it's the Kung Pao chicken, so keep that in mind.

The shrimp in lobster sauce is so light and not gummy or salty like so many we've tried from other places. The steamed pork dumplings, same. Chicken chow mein again, light fresh and delicate.

It means a lot when you can tell the pride and professionalism that goes into the making of good food!

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.
