Apple Jade Restaurant

I finally decided to try it for the first time today. I ordered the Hunan Tofu and Kimchee Fried Rice; I was thoroughly disappointed. Both dishes lacked flavor and the fried rice had an overwhelming burnt egg flavor. The service wasn’t horrible, but definitely wasn’t the best. Needless to say, I will not return to this restaurant.
To anyone that may want to try Apple Jade — Save Your Money!

Ordered from here tonight for the first time; food came within the promised time frame. Egg rolls were good, Fried a Rice was good. Ordered General Tso white meat & got some chicken & vegetable dish instead. That is the whole reason for only one star.
Likely will not order from here again.

I got delivery from a 3^rd party website. It only took an hour and twenty minutes to arrive!
The vegetable spring rolls were greasy like they had been fried and then re-​heated in the fryer. They were tepid when thy arrived and there was so much oil that bag was stained on the spring roll side. The plum sauce they came with was nice and covered up the bad pretty well.
The beef in the garlic beef could have been pork or something else. It was beige in color and had an awkward flavor. The green peppers in the dish were overcooked to the point of being mush.
It was obvious that I got the bottom of the rice cooker in my order of white rice. Those of you with a rice cooker at home know what I am talking about.
This was the first and last time I will try Apple Jade

Tried this place on a whim/​recommendation from a friend.
Menu lists dishes in english as well as traditional chinese characters :)
Loved the ambiance and décor was simple. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious!
We had kimchi fried rice and coconut curry chicken. Especially loved the bubble tea. Glad to finally find a decent bubble tea place away from campus. Will certainly be back again to try more dishes (and the lunch specials looked promising also)

Lack of flavor. Orange chicken wasnt sweet at all. Fried rice had no flavor. Completely disappointed. We arent picky eaters either.

The bubble tea is horrendous! 4 bubble tea takes half hour to make. Really???

Oh how I miss this place.
I used to go here once a week when I went to MSU. I live outside of NYC now and I still cannot find better Chicken Fried Rice or Egg Rolls. They are truly the best I have ever had. General’s Chicken is also outstanding.
Can’t go wrong with this place. I dont understand the poor reviews on here, but just a suggestion: Do not listen to anyone who recommends chinese buffets (review below). Ugh!

Let’s start with the good, fast service and well priced. Now for the bad the rice was dry the vegetables where soggy and sitting in a pile of water.

I’ve been going here about 40 times a year for the last 3 or 4 years.
What this restaurant does well: speed, taste, friendliness, affordability, location
What this resturant does poorly: speak english fluently, variety on lunch menu, beverage refills
I typically ask for my meals to be prepared extra spicy. That dials up the flavor an extra notch.

If you’re in the mood for non-​authentic Chinese food, this could be your place. As for me, I’ll spend my money elsewhere.
I had the Hunan beef, which was cooked fine including the good crunch vegetables. It was overwhelming in the «heat» department, while lacking in the flavor dept. Pan fried dumplings were good, but then again… it’s rather difficult to screw these up.
While the food was definitely edible, there are just many more places that do it much better.

OK, went back to this place a couple days later and was not happy. I ordered the General’s Chicken (Supposed to be General Tso’s chicken but white meat) and I expected what I ordered the other day. Nope, it was a stir fry that tasted like chop suey. It was salty and nasty (Maybe its supposed to taste like this???). I am not sure why it wasn’t the same good Generals Chicken I had the other day (similar to all other restaurants that serve it). I would give this dish 1 star but I will take some of the responsibility as maybe that is what the dish was supposed to be and I ordered wrong? I recommend having them explain the dish before you complete your order as there are no pictures. If I wasn’t so hungry at the time, I would have sent it back and got what I originally wanted but instead I sucked it up as I did not want to hold up my guests waiting for another dish.

Well, it didn’t taste like cat. It is right behind a Planned Parenthood clinic — wonder if they share a back door.
