Red Apple - Metairie

Red Apple is a Chinese restaurant located in a strip mall, like many others, but it stands out as being slightly better than most. The chow mein is Americanized, with fried rice instead of noodles, and the specials are always the same. The standout dish on the menu is the coconut shrimp, which consists of large fried shrimp with steamed broccoli, pineapple, and a sweet coconut sauce, served with white rice. This dish is similar to what other Chinese buffets may call imperial shrimp. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is affordable and freshly cooked to order. It is my preferred Chinese restaurant, even though I rarely dine in and only a few tables are available.

This restaurant used to be the best Chinese takeout in the area. However, the food has become bland in the past year. We used to order the General Tso's Chicken because it was very good. The spring rolls are still delicious. The prices are very affordable, and the combination plates are a good deal. I hope that the flavor and quality will improve again in the future.

The best of all time! Best roasted rice! Chicken or beef teriyaki on a stick is so tender and juicy they are to die. Crab Rangoons are also there. We order from this place at least once a week and it is never to satisfy. Every time we order, we try 1 new dish that we have never had together with our regular favorites and not even we have ever been unhappy with any entree EVER! That says a lot if we don't even know what we sometimes order... literally... everything is good here!

Food is absolutely delicious every time I order. But my only complaint is that the broccoli is never cooked completely.

We picked up takeout. The orange chicken and the honey chicken combo plates were great. Loved their hot and sour soup.
