My alll time favorite!! The food is fresh and delicious! I won't eat Chinese ANYWHERE else! Love,love,love! read more

We order take out from here a couple times a month. It's good Chinese food and they are always really friendly.

After having Chinese food several times from another local place, which was always dreadful, we realized there is another Chinese restaurant in town. What a relief! The food was wonderful. We only ever get take out so can't comment on sit-down, but it's our go-to Chinese take out in Stayton now. read more

Red Apple - Best cheese burger around. - Chinese Near Me - Stayton, Oregon

I tried this place on a whim and I'm glad I did. The food tasted really good and the portions were quite large. I had plenty of leftovers for when I got hungry an hour later. Yeah, Chinese does that to me. The tea was good and the egg soup was yummy. I had the sweet and sour pork and shrimp with rice and chowmein. I would definitely recommend you give the Red Apple a try. read more

Our family LOVES this place. The food is not greasy but full of flavor. We recommend it highly!

Amazing food. My new favorite is the House Special Chow Mein. So full of flavor and more than enough in one order for 3 meals for myself.

Good Chinese food, much better than you would expect to find in a town with 7000 residents. For a town this size, one Chinese restaurant would be nice but Stayton has 3 Chinese restaurants. Of the three, Red Apple is the best and the quality of the food compares with the best of that of much larger cities. As another poster mentioned, both the fried rice and crab puffs are excellent. I think their General Tso's is among the best that I have ever had. read more

While there have been a couple sub-par meals, 99.9% of the time the food is awesome. The service is great and we're always treated well. We're frequent customers and this is one of two Chinese restaurants we're willing to eat at in the Stayton/Salem area. The General Tso Chicken (extra spicy) and crab puffs are the best! read more

Bland food. I give it a one, because they do have really good Crab Puffs. That is it; everything else is bland even if you order spicy.

I personally enjoy red apple very much. We eat there at least once a week. Their chicken in sesame sauce is to die for and the lo mein is excellent as well. Every time that we've been in there, the service has been good and the food even better. To those one star reviews, you may have caught them on an off day, because their food is very good and have quick friendly service. I will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

Went with my momma today for lunch. I was impressed as I never would have thought that Stayton would have a good Chinese restaurant. I really liked this place. The hot and sour soup was thicker then I am used to, but tasty. The cashew chicken was light and nice. The price was fantastic. Lunch with leftovers for less then 15 bucks for the both of us. Give it a try. read more

When in Stayton, we go to the Red Apple. The food is reasonably priced and you get what you pay for. Service is normally good, hot, timely, and in reasonable amounts. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Do yourself a favor and do not go here! This was absolutely the worst Chinese food I have Ever eaten, and I have been to a lot of shady , hole in the wall joints in my time. After only two bites everyone at the table was seriously against taking a third. You can tell by the just the color that something is not right and the taste confirms what your eyes are telling you . read more

Red Apple - Completely disgusting. Hands down the worst Chinese food ! - Chinese Near Me - Stayton, Oregon

This was a first encounter with the local Chinese food. Our waitress was friendly and bubbly. Great prices , good food and huge proportions! One big turn off was we watched a waitress take an order and while doing so she wiped her nose area like 4-6 times. Unsanitary. I did tell a lead waitress who said she would address that. The decor is very out dated and looks like the building could use some repairs and updated paint. I will go back. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Great prices. Usually too much food to eat. Try the cheeseburger, its great.

This is a great place to eat. The service is fantastic, the people are friendly and the food is wonderful.

Red Apple is my family's favorite Chinese restaurant! The food is always hot, fresh, and fast. We eat here at least once a month. Susan, and Heather are my favorite, they have great customer service and always know what I want. Some of the other waitresses could be a little more friendly, but the food is worth it. read more

One of the most bland food I have ever had. This place should shut itself down. It's a dump of a restaurant. The bar on the side is much more enjoyable than their restaurant. Worst tasting Chinese food I have ever had. Safeway Chinese food is better than this place. read more

The food is indescribably tasty! It's not your typical Chinese food taste, but something much better. The Red Apple has been my favorite Chinese Food restaurant for quite some time now. From first glance, one would not guess a hole in the wall place in Stayton would contain such a pleasant surprise of exceptionally-flavored food. Definitely worth the trip into Stayton. read more

Ordered take out. When I got home the orders were wrong. The food is very greasy. It tastes ok, but nothing special. There is lots of food. I like the Chinese restaurant in Lyons much better. read more

Not vegetarian or vegan friendly at all. Even their "vegetable" dishes contain animal products such as chicken powder as confirmed by the owner. Their front of the house staff is NOT knowledgeable about these things so do not trust their answer outright. It's not hard to offer a few options and maybe be honest with the customers or get some training if you really don't know better. read more

simple decor, service is ok. the food is awesome!! the garlic pepper salted chicken is amazing! for a little of everything, try the popo platter, a lot of stuff for a great price. read more

I'm sure that it is the bar that keeps the restaurant afloat because I've never had such tasteless chinese food. The service, if that was what it was suppoed be, left everything to be expected. I like to patronize local business but this restaurant is just too bad. Find another for your chinese craving. read more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE think twice...Recommended to me by a local shop owner. I ordered a simple meal from the combo section of their menu. Fried shrimp, fried rice and chow mein with pan fried noodles on the side. I swear they used cocktail shrimp with so much tough batter not only chewy but no flavor. Hardly any veggies in the chow mein,fried rice was white I truly doubt it was ever in a frying pan same goes for the pan "fried" noodles. The meal was the worst Chinese food I have ever dumped into my garbage disposal. Oh yeah...they also water down the red dipping sauce so thin I couldn't believe it. What a waste. read more

After eating at the other Chinese place in town because Red Apple was closed, I sure do appreciate this place even more. We eat here often. Their food is fantastic! I mean really good. Huge portions. We feed our family of 4 on one combo #10 and a side of pot stickers. The people are super friendly and the restaurant is nice and clean. We will not make the mistake of going elsewhere for Chinese food again. read more

While on vacation out west a couple of times, we ate at Red Apple. It seems to be a family owned business as many of the best Chinese Restaurants are. I have eaten in many Chinese and Asian Restaurants within the United States, and years back in different parts of Asia. When we ate at the Red Apple, it was filling up and we had guests with us. The waitress was very courteous and working very fast. We started out with appetizers, the sliced roast pork and tempura prawns. Both were excellent. The pork was sliced in front of us. It was some of the best I had ever tasted. We had Kung Pao Chicken which was served and tasted perfect with the peanuts on top. We had combination fried rice which was really fried in a wok. Many of the big chain Chinese Restaurants serve you fried rice that is not fried but seasoned in a steamer. All in all the entire meal tasted very authentic with the original Chinese dishes. I did note on the menu that there were some American invented Chinese dishes like Chop Suey. I never have that. I am looking forward to another trip out west to eat at Red Apple again. I highly recommend the Roast Pork, any of the fried rices, and any of the Kung Pao dishes. read more

Arranged a meeting with a new friend at 11am (opening time) on a weekday. Nobody showed up to open the restaurant. When I called their number at 11:15 to advise we were at the restaurant but it was locked, the owner hung up on me before I even finished my sentence. Needless to say, we moved our meeting to another location. How embarrassing! NO STARS. read more

The food is absolutely amazing and one of my most favorite Chinese restaurants! The staff was very kind, although they are fairly busy, they still give outstanding customer service and check up on you! Most of the terrible reviews on here about the staff not smiling back or not replying back to their customers, I hope you know that they probably are not fluent in English. Some of them might not know how to respond. It's good to be kind to your customers, but they didn't give offensive comments to their customers. If I were working all day, I wouldn't feel like I am obligated to give a smile to every customer I meet. some of the people with negative reviews on here were very rude and disrespectful in the restaurant. I saw some guy throwing food in there! I would've kicked them out if it was my place! Me, myself being Vietnamese, from people that I have met, Asians aren't as friendly as americans sometimes. But everyone was raised differently. so people who come into this restaurant, don't be so selfish and just know everyones culture is DIFFERENT. if you are going to dine at a place that you are unfamiliar with the culture, don't be so damn rude and respect their culture and know the standards. read more

blah seems old dudes like Chuck and my dad love this place but i think it is not so hot

This is our "go-to" Chinese restaurant in the Salem metro area. It always serves up fresh, delicious, plentiful food at a very reasonable price. read more

This place used to be really good. By far the best in town. The food is usually really good, with huge portions. Service has always been great. All appetizers are fantastic. All that said I don't know what's happened in the kitchen lately but it's been pretty subpar. The last time we ordered take out was beyond disgusting. We found 3 flys in our general tsos chicken! Right in the middle of the box. Don't know if we'll ever go back. It's really disappointing because the other choices in town, while having never found flys in our food, are just not good. read more

Never coming back to this place!!!! Customer service is the worst I seen. The waitress was rude, while she took our order. Than when my food came and I asked if I can have them redo it because my sweet and sour shrimp and pork tasted like the battered didn't cook all the way. (It also looked that way, I never seen something fried be so white) She rudely walked away, as she asked me what part wasn't cook right. I had to raise my voice so than she can hear me because at this point she was already walking behind me. I repeated and said all of it. The battered taste like it didn't cook all the way. Her reply was our shrimp is like that! As she walk the other direction she said I will have them redo it. At this point I felt so uncomfortable, I told my husband I didn't want to be their. She walk by our table, told me one more time I already order an other one for you. (She didn't stop she kept walking) I asked her to please cancel it. Her reply was with an attitude "I already order it so..." At that point an other lady came and explain to me why battered tasted like that. I explain to her that the waitress was incredibly rude and I just wanted to leave. My husband paid for his plate, that he didn't finished either. I couldn't believe the attitude that lady had. The lady checked us out, she said maybe is time for me to change waitress. read more
