I ordered online for my daughter & grandchildren who live in Iowa. I live out of state. My daughter and grandsons said the food was really good & the portion sizes were big. The delivery time was fast. I would order again from Red Apple Chinese Restaurant.

Front of house was very kind & efficient. Conveniently located downtown. Choice of the Rangoon’s or Chicken Eggrolls come with every order. Menu has every dish you could ever want. 👍

Went for lunch on a weekday. The menu has a lot of options. I ordered the appetizer platter. It came with several things. The eggroll tasted like a frozen supermarket eggroll. I think it was chicken. Didn't love it. The fried wonton was ok. The fried shrimp was pretty good. The shrimp toast was overcooked, and the bread absorbed too much oil. The chicken stick had a good flavor but was dry. The meat stick was dry with a weak flavor. The crab rangoon was mostly cream cheese. I wouldn't order the plattet again, but I'll try a few entrees to see why so many people recommended RAC.

We order here all the time, my husband n I get the exact same thing every time. Today my Shrimp Chow Ho La was very dry. Several pieces didn't even have any sauce on them and no sauce in the dish. Usually there is lots of sauce in the dish and the shrimp is very well coated in the sauce. The shrimp today were like baby shrimp with nothing but breading I couldn't even taste any shrimp, usually the shrimp are like big butterfly type shrimp with a light bread type coating, today almost all breading. The “crab” rangoon there was NOT any crab in them. My husband’s meal the pepper steak he said was very good as usual. But now his meal doesn't not come with spring roll, I had to order that separately. The Lo mein was good as usual.
