Best fried rice I've had in a while. I had the Shrimp Fried Rice with General Tso's Chicken and it was really good. I normally don't go for what some would call "sketch" restaurants but this place was really good. I also had the fried shrimp, was not my favorite but I will definitely be back for the fried rice. read more

We order from here at least once a month. Food is always hot and plenty. A few of our favorites is House Special Mei Fun, crab rangoon, fried dumplings, shrimp egg rolls, chicken stick, &shrimp with vegetables. read more

Food is really good! You could actually split a combo between 2 people. I've only had it delivered cause it'seasy and always in time . read more

Hm. Don't know what I was expecting here. I ordered the General Tso chicken with crab Rangoons. Now, the crab Rangoons were fine. I mean, they were not mind blowing but I was satisfied. The General Tso chicken was okay. The sauce is extremely sweet (which I'm not the biggest fan of) but it was spiced nicely. A lot of Chinese places I've eaten from make this big disclaimer about their General Tso chicken having a kick to it. Theirs SORT of hit the mark. Also glad they don't use that breading that makes the chicken look like large ginger root. Yuck. There is some breading on the chicken though. Okay, so now we are down one star based on the above... The RIIIIIIIIIICE is why they're down two more. I hate to be harsh but it tasted like burned Uncle Ben's 5-minute vegetable rice. I typically love Chinese (and other Asian rice dishes) but that was a disservice. I really feel like the rice was either scorched or severely over cooked. It was not pleasant at all. Overall, I highly doubt I'll be back. I cannot imagine. read more

DISAPPOINTED take out food was bland and tasteless. ordered shrimp rice soup, bland and tasteless ordered steamed dumpling, bland and tasteless How can that be? Huge dumplings which are tasteless.... How can that happen? read more

Probably the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. If the smell doesn't get to you, the taste will. I have no idea how there's so many people on here that like to and continue ordering from this place. I ordered through UberEats, should I have driven there and walking inside, guaranteed, the smell would've turned me around so quick. Everything taste the same (burnt, but also raw??). The egg rolls only have cabbage inside. The "house" rice has burnt pork that has the texture of beef jerky. The chicken, raw. Everything was terrible, down to the soggy fried noodles that came with the tasteless egg drop soup. Just don't....... read more

The lo mein and orange chicken are soo good!! The 2nd time I ordered here I got moo goo gai pan which could've been better, lacked some flavor. But any other dish I've had was delicious!! read more

Disgusting buffet quality food. They can't even make things spicy that are supposed to be upon request. The have Hot and Sour chicken listed as spicy which is never the case. They just make things up it seems. Restaurant in Harahan is the same. Poor quality food at a jacked up price. Food may be good one day and not the next. ZERO consistency. Never again, I'll just go to a buffet if I want this quality and it'll be cheaper! Their fried rice wasn't even cooked and the shrimp where practically raw. read more

Overall the quality of the food was great. The Szechuan Shrimp was wonderful, I was a huge fan of the vegetables that came with the shrimp. The sauce had a hint of heat but wasn't extremely spicy. It comes with pork fried rice but I upgraded to shrimp fried rice for $1 upcharge. I wasn't a fan of the fried rice at all, it seemed dry and lacking enough soy sauce. It wasn't terrible but I've had much better fried rice before. The Egg Drop Soup however was full of flavor, not the best I've had but it's definitely up there! Between the great prices and the tasty soup and entrees, I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Used to LOVE their food...it's changed..disappointed. Fried noodles for soup STALE & tasteless. Egg foo young squeezed into the 1/2 pt rice container.. presentation unappealing‍ Steamed dumplings n/g! Door, have to do better! read more

excellent food and service. My wife and I went here late on Christmas for some General Tso chicken and an order of lo mein. We ate it so fast that we forgot to take pictures! This was our first visit here but won't be the last. read more

This place has its plus and negatives Plus Cheaper prices and good deals The dumplings were good with the sauce they gave The rice was different a little hard but good flavor a And also the sauces on the chicken was good too The egg rolls were also good not all sprouts like some The negatives Small portions I'm use to getting like an overflowing to go container to feed ur whole family And the chicken was cut small and over fried I don't like that I say it wasn't too bad to where I wouldn't get it again but I'm not sure this is my fav Chinese in the Metairie area But I'll give it another try read more

On May 31, I ordered General Tso's Chicken Combination (C-21) which I had ordered several times before. I ordered for delivery with DoorDash which essentially doubled the price for the meal. This time I used the Special Instructions section and asked for white meat chicken. I later received an e-mail from DoorDash informing me that $3.55 had been added because of Special Instructions. I am a little ticked off because the extra charge was no mentioned in the ordering process. I was becoming a regular customer but now I think it's time for a change. Dennis read more

It's weird to be writing a 4 star review for a cookie cutter Chinese joint....and yet here we go. Red Apple isn't full of surprises for the most part. It has essentially the same menu and same decor as any other generic Chinese place. That said, the portion are huge, the food is great, and it's cheap. Here's my (fairly arbitrary) way to judge a Chinese take out place-whether they serve dark meat or white meat as the default. I'm happy to report that white meat is the standard without an extra fee! They also serve brown rice upon request, although there is a fee there. They have a nice website as well. You can browse their large menu from there. They don't deliver, but you can place an order online (and include notes if needed) and pick it up. I got there about 15 minutes after I placed it (chicken lo mein and steamed vegetables) and I got my order upon arrival after a friendly greeting. My food was 15 dollars with tip. I can stretch it to two meals, if not three. Skip the terrible Subway next door and go here. I know that's two different genres entirely but anything to defame Subway. They accept credit cards, but there is a 10 dollar minimum. read more

For fast, hot, and tasty meal to satisfy that old age question "What do you want to do for dinner". This place hits a home run every time. Best Chinese for this level. Nicely priced. read more

Got the chicken & veggies dinner combo and an egg-drop-wonton soup. I was impressed by this place. This place has fast & friendly service. There is a fine display of Asian and South American currency. It was very interesting to see a 10 peso "paper" currency. The chicken was excellent as were the accurately cooked veggies. The fried rice was enjoyable. The soup was novel and really good. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the "cabbage" a.k.a. egg roll. But that is just my opinion. It's a good place for a quick and low cost lunch. read more

I order green bananas (tostones) with chicken wings from this place and I was missing 2 wings. The customer service in this place is horrible. The lady who is at the front doesn't know how to talk to her customer. The wings didn't taste that bad but I was just missing 2 wings and bad customer service. read more

So crazy good!! Best Chinese I've had in ages! Loved the Roasted Pork Lo Mom combination plate and the Won ton eggdrop soup!!

We stumbled across this place after a whole day of moving into our new house and I was having the envie some wonton soup. I always say you can judge a Chinese restaurant by their egg rolls alone, so we decided to give it a try. Very impressed with all of the menu items as we have ordered several times. The egg rolls are delicious, the wonton soup is by far my favorite than any other place I've had it and they have my favorite chicken dish, mandarin chicken. Small place, really only designed for takeout even though there are a few tables in the place. Try it. You'll like it. read more

Red Apple Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This is our GO TO Chinese place in the neighborhood for those help-me-jesus-it's-too-hot-to-cook-nights. The shrimp egg rolls are phenomenal - we always get a bag, and then I realize we should have gotten extras and frozen them. (I have yet to do that because then all I'll eat are eggrolls). I'd LOVE if their shrimp toast wasn't full of minced pork (if it was just shrimp, like at 5 Happiness) but that seems to be a standard money-saving move for the fast food Chinese places around town. Oh well, I'll save my shrimp toast budget for 5 Happiness. The eggs foo young is crispy and greasy and full of whatever you want in it. I get a different sauce with mine because I don't like the flour gravy that comes with it, and they've never missed that customization. Sometimes I get the diet shrimp plate thats a super clean, oil free shrimp and veggie plate with sauce on the side, and the shrimp in that are huge and sweet. My husband gets Singapore street noodles, or moo shu and is always tickled. He also loves the crab rangoon. Again, it's a fast-food, super casual place, and I wouldn't eat in, but for picking up dinner on a night when you just can't bring yourself to turn on the stove, or when you have a ton of guests over (why I'm marking "good for groups"), or when you're on your way home from a parade and it's late and everything else is closed, Red Apple will save your life! read more

Your review hRed Apple Chinese.. 3 words- Good-Cheap-Chinese.. No fancy pants Asian Fusion here, just good plain Chinese for the taking. And unlike the listing states, they DO take Credit Cards, $10.00 Minimum (No AMEX) So, if you are in this neighborhood, and looking for some good, fast, cheap Chinese.. Try Red Apple.. elps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Fast, friendly, simple and great quality food, portions were large and everything was really fresh. They're not overly fancy but the employees were really nice, willing to explain and the place was clean read more

They mostly do take-outs, as with most Chinese places. They have pictures of their food posted along their kitchen wall for better visual senses. And they have poker machines! lol I ordered the veggie soup and a hot and sour soup. The veggie soup was good and filling. Loads of veggies! As for the hot and sour soup, there needs to be a little more sourness to it. However, overall the food was decent. read more

Cheap, but below average food. Stopped eating the mandarin chicken after two bites. They returned my money.. that was nice. Won't go back. read more

Awesome food, we ordered vegetable fried rice, vegetable lo main and general tso's chicken and everything was tasty and fresh. The chicken was perfect without being over cooked or floating in sauce. The rice had good portion of veggies and Lima in had a really good flavor. Portions were nice as well. read more

First, they said they didn't have (on the menu) what I was ordering WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT IT!!! The prices are higher than other comparable places. They "forgot" to include the egg roll they'll give and the fried rice was COLD, never hot to begin with. I am sure they will say they will give me the egg roll when I order next, like I am going to go there again....NOT!! Oh! and the food was just so-so. read more

This place has great food and its ready fairly quickly! I like to order the shrimp in lobster sauce and the fried dumplings.

I order from here often. Great "fast" Chinese. Fresh flavors, fast service, and always accommodating on special orders. The portions on the lunch and dinner combos are large enough to share. The house special lo mein is delicious. Heads over all of the other similar style Chinese take outs ( there are a few tables if you want to eat in though) in the area! 5 of 5 stars! read more

Nothing special. Very unfriendly service. So many other "average" places to choose from nearby. Probably won't go back. I had the sesame chicken which was just okay. It had a soft tempura batter. $1 extra for all white meat. The fried rice was okay also, but I didn't care for the pork that comes in it. Just my preference. read more

The Mongolian beef was ALL onions waste of money. Literally I had to work to find ANY meat in that dish....so disappointed.

I just love the wings! Some of the best party apps around. Large, meaty and flavorful. read more

It's not fancy Chinese food but it's my favorite quick Chinese restaurant. The hot and spicy chicken is my favorite!

Our go-to to-go restaurant in Metaire! The egg drop soup is delicious as well as the Four Happiness. We have never been disappointed in our meals here. Great place to pick up dinner for one of those stay in movie nights. Very inexpensive without sacrificing quality! Huge portions! read more

Gotta love Chinese takeout! I love the mandarin chicken, the crab rangoon and the sesame chicken.

Food is good but do not order on their online menu. They overcharged, did not speak English, I put the tip on the online order and based on what I paid when I went in, they not only charged the tip their but charged tax on it and then swore it had not been added in...no itemized bill at the restaurant...I don't like feeling ripped off and will just not tip there again when I get take out. That is, if I go back. read more

Ordered take-out yesterday. Ordered on-line. Had to wait 10 minutes later than promised. The sweet and sour ribs tasted good, but there was bone and cartilage. It's served with white rice, but you can't eat it together because you have to keep spitting the bone and cartilage out. Why aren't the ribs boneless? The low mein was okay. My granddaughter liked her fried fish and French fries. The girl behind the counter looked like she would rather be anywhere but where she was. The cook brought out my order with a very pleasant smile on his face. That was probably the most positive part of the whole experience. read more

I work down the street so I figured I give it a shot. I'm very, very picky with my kung pao chicken and honestly, you can't find a good one anywhere these days. People hate eating with me as well as I'm pretty damn picky in general. With that said, I was very satisfied with their kung pao chicken. I ordered it extra spicy and it hit the spot. I'll be ordering from them again. It might have had a little too much hoisin in the sauce(I think that's what I was tasting), but it's the best I've had in a very long time. read more
