Good food with great prices! My friend and I ordered 2 vegetarian lunch specials (the Mapo Tofu and Spicy Hot Szechuan Eggplant), which came with a HUGE pot of brown rice, salads, and optional soup. We opted out of the soup because neither were vegan. A pot of jasmine tea was also included. The portion sizes were really generous (bill came out to $18/per person with tip included). Restaurant is bright and clean with hand sanitizer available at the table. Service was decent - one of the servers seemed a bit impatient or distracted, and another was really sweet and helpful. Not sure if there is any free parking available - we parked about a block away in a lot and it cost $1.50.

This place is EPIC! Have been eating at Green Apple for past 10+ years and the food is consistently tasty, served in generous portions and made fresh! You could blindly pick any item on the menu and odds are you would score a winner. Personal favorites include the beef low mein and orange chicken! Service is equally impressive - polite, fast, helpful. Green Apple is ahead of the times and has avoided the temptation to charge outrageous prices on progressively inferior food, like its peers. Can't wait for next visit!

Had an excellent dinner. Portions were generous and I felt a great value for the price. Everything I ordered was good or better. I was very happy with the whole dining experience. Dec 24 Update: Still my favorite spot in Studio City. I always order the Sweet Pungent Chicken (which I highly recommend). The Pineapple Curry Fried Rice is another favorite (I get mine without shrimp). I'm here at least once a week when I'm in LA.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in the Valley. A must try if you are in the Studio City area. . Been coming here with the family for a few years now food and service is always awesome I truly recommend it. Last but not least the portions are large that you can share with the family.

Every time I come in, Yadira goes above and beyond, she’s attentive, friendly, and always welcoming with a smile. She makes sure everything is perfect and never misses a detail. The food is fresh and delicious, Highly recommend stopping by and asking for her—you’ll be taken care of like family!

I was craving Chinese food, and this place kept popping up so I decided to try it. It is connected to a shopping center so there’s parking out on the street and also underground. I parked underground. I had called for takeout and when I came I waited a few minutes. The staff was nice and the inside was spacious with a lovely ambiance. It was an early evening so not that many people there but I saw they had a lot of people ordering take out. I ordered the Orange Chicken and Beef Chow Fun with Bean Sauce. Both were good but for me I like my orange chicken to be a little crispier. I’ve had better Chinese food, but when I’m nearby and craving Chinese food I’m down to try this spot again.

Although the atmosphere is a step above a fast-food establishment, the food was rather good. This restaurant was suggested to us by some friends merely because of the eggrolls. The eggrolls were actually very good, but they should be for four dollars apiece, which in order consists of two pieces for eight dollars. We were there for lunch and I started my meal with the egg corn soup. It was surprisingly very good. The salads that come with the meal at lunchtime were extremely tasty and I was very impressed. My main course was the orange chicken, and my wife's dish was beef with broccoli. Both dishes were extremely tasty, but we found the beef to be somewhat tough. I would also like to add this is one of the few Chinese restaurants that we were able to get crispy noodles to put in into our soup. This is usually reserved for New York Chinese restaurants. The Thai tea was good, but nothing over the top. The restaurant was extremely quiet during a lunch hour, and we were able to have good conversation. We were with friends that I had not seen for 57 years and it was a good venue to sit talk and eat. I would come back again, but not make this one of my regular haunts.
