Red Apple

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.

No stars!
We walked in, it was about half full, sign said to seat ourselves. We did.
Nobody acknowledged us as we walked in, nobody came to give us water or menus, so about 10 minutes later, we walked back out. Not one person said a single word to us.

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.

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.

I beg you… DON’T DO IT! Terrible terrible terrible service. I can’t stress that enough!
The restaurant side is quiet and some dished are okay at best. The bar side is a nightmare! Floors are always sticky, so wear boots if you MUST go, ore your shoes will be glued to the floor. Restrooms aren’t very clean, and the staff is the worst! So rude! You belong there if you are already a regular, but if you just bar hopping every once and awhile like I do, you are not welcome. unless your a smoker. The smokers are nice to everyone.

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.

simple décor, 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.

Drove up here for dinner last night and for our Red Apple fix. Egg Flower Soup is some of the best. Check out the specials. The Beef and Shrimp Lo Mein is the bomb!

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

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!

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.

Do not come here if you like to eat food. The worst Chinese food! and food overall, Yuck! We unfortunately stopped here on our way to Black Butte. I do not understand the reviews and Unilocal surely failed us this time. Sure there are not many choices in this town but come on… disgusting!

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

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.

The Red Apple is definitely my top spot for Chinese food. Even though there are quite a few closer to where I live, I always travel the extra miles to get my fill here. The food is of great quality and the staff are always friendly.
I will order the exact same things at other restaurants and not be as satisfied as I would be here. Their pork fried rice is the best I’ve ever eaten and their crab puffs are delectable. The chicken fried rice is moist and their many entrees provide an array of taste sensations sure to please. Yes, some of it can get a bit greasy but what a great guilty pleasure.
They do have a bar connected to the restaurant which is nice. They have a few pool tables and if you catch them on the right night, they might be doing karaōke (with a song book that contains one of the widest array of genre choices I’ve seen in a karaōke bar).
The dining room is quite lovely and very homey. Open on most (if not all) holidays, it’s a great environment for a family out or a couple just looking for some quiet time alone and some romance.

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.
