Apple Green has been a staple for when I come back to South Bay to meet with family.
Numerous dishes consistently hit the spot. They also include a complimentary dish if you pay cash over $55 (at the time of review). I don't actually remember the official names of the dishes as they've moved their menu online.
The cold Szechuan spicy noodle with chicken is my favorite dish by far. Along with great presentation, the cold, sweet, and slightly spicy sauce pair really well with the chewy noodles and fresh chicken. As the sauce is really the highlight, you can also go with just the noodles for a smaller appetizer to pack some more dishes in.
As it was a cold, rainy day, we also ordered the sour cabbage and fish fillet soup. The clear soup is a bit deceptively spicy as they add quite a bit of pepper, but the warm, spicy soup is oh-so satisfying on a cold day.
This time, we decided to try the cumin lamb chops, which was a bit dry for me, but previously we've ordered the toothpick lamb, which has the same flavor profile, but the thinner, bite-sized pieces of meat worked a lot better.
For the complimentary dish, we ordered the yu choi (iirc). It's cooked well with a garlic taste. If we were ordering and paying for a vegetable dish, I'd prefer the ong choy, which is prepared the same way, as I prefer the crunch.
Every time we come, we order some staples and try some new dishes. Some that we've enjoyed previously include the fish fillet with tofu, Szechuan style boiled fish, and mixed mushroom w/ beef. This time, I saw a lot of people with some sizzling bowls with mushrooms and various meats that I want to try next time!
Always excited to come back with good company!
