Top Asian restaurants in Apple Valley, United States

Beyond Orange Chicken is amazing. I could eat that ish all day. Fried rice and noodles need more flavor, but the greens are good. Spring rolls and rangoons are pretty good.

Since the cost of every place has risen everywhere I have found Panda Express is very reasonable $12 with a drink. I also love they use fresh ingredients you can see. The GM of AV is very nice and runs a good clean place food is always amazing.

Food took 20 mins longer than the pickup time and they blamed me for it being late as I said the pickup name was Lance . It was reverse04 but I changed it so this order should have been labeled lance. I'm not upset that the name mix up happened I'm upset that they blamed me for it happening and didn't do anything to compensate for me having to stand and wait watching everyone else's food getting made

Came for lunch and was very happy woth the meal. Huge portions, so you definitely get full, and good tasting protein options too! Will be back!

It seems to me all the food was spicy. No matter what we got the orders wrong. But that was okay. Otherwise, they just need to pay a little more attention to what they're doing. I mean, you want $15 an hour pay, but you only have a $2 work ethic. I mean come on, people really?

We've been longtime customers of this establishment (we're talking decades). It's always been good. But lately both the food and service has dropped off dramatically. We always order the squid pad Thai and cream cheese puffs. The last time we ordered, about two weeks ago, I put in an order by phone and repeated things more than once to make sure it was understood. I even gave two spiciness requests for our two pad thais. We only got one pad Thai and my boyfriend had to drive all the way back for another one. Why would I have given two different spiciness requests for only one pad Thai? I had to have said I wanted two orders at least three times. At least the take out container for both was filled and seemed like a fair amount.

Fast forward to today. My boyfriend ate inside the restaurant in the afternoon with several friends. Everyone arrived separately but ordered at the same time. My boyfriend had to wait 15 minutes after everyone got their meals for his to come out. Only it did not have any meat in it! He had to wait another 5-10 minutes to get his meal. Everyone was done eating by the time he got his food. Also they were barely checked on at all during the meal and the check was delivered without being separated and it was never offered to be separated. What restaurant does this?

My boyfriend ordered take out for me to bring home. To my chagrin, I opened the package and the take out container was barely over half full. At least two weeks ago the $16 order of pad Thai filled the container. Today it was pretty pathetic. Plus the oil tasted burnt/off and it was pretty gross. When you're paying $16 for pad Thai plus tax and tip, you expect a bit more for $20+.

Unfortunately, we won't be going back to this restaurant after they screwed up three times in a row now. This was our favorite pad Thai place in the whole twin cities and we traveled half an hour to get it regularly. I'm not sure what's happened to it but it's barely a shadow of what it used to be. So disappointing.

This trend of service workers just taking tips for granted despite doing bad jobs has to stop. We always tip well and they still got a tip but they didn't really deserve it did they? We wanted them to stay in business and are willing to tip but we've been fooled three times now and don't feel like taking a chance on a fourth.

Favorite Chinese Spot. The Combo Plate is an unbeatable deal and I often have leftovers. Sesame Chicken, Broccoli Beef and Lomein is my usual. Many of their side dishes are amazing as well including the donuts and teriyaki sticks. Cream Cheese Ragoons are decent. They are always friendly, quick and helpful.

Food is great. Lots of amazing Thai staples.
Can be ordered to your grade of spice tolerance.
Gotta take the Spring rolls with peanut sauce.
Tom Yum soup is delicious (be careful if you can't handle the space levels it will get you).

Service is great and friendly.

This is definitely one of everyone's favorites for takeout.

Decor... Oh who cares , you're there for the food anyway!

Excellent family Thai restaurant. The food portions are large enough for two people. The food is prepared the moment you order . Prices are reasonable.

This is our go-to Chinese takeout spot in Apple Valley. The food is great every single time, the prices are reasonable, and they have never had a problem adjusting the spice level for our kids. You will not be disappointed.

Hubby and I wanted to try something new and found this place based on the ratings. The area is tucked away a bit and is unsuspecting.

Once our appetizer of #1. Vegetarian Egg Rolls arrived, I was hooked, and they disappeared very quickly! The dipping sauce and extra peanuts were a great addition to the texture and flavors.

I then ordered the #38. Pra Ram Long Song with tofu. The flavors... the medium spice, and everything was just glorious. I will definitely order this again.

Hubby ordered #68. Pad Thai with chicken. He ordered his spicy but said he will try extra spicy next time. He enjoyed the food and will probably order the Pad Thai again with veggies next time.

We both took half our entrées home for leftovers and full stomachs. I'm so glad we found Taste of Thai Yai, so thank you to all the people who rated this high so it popped up on my radar. We will be back again and again and again.

Panda Express is one of my favorite restaurants and this location is good. It seemed like a madhouse when I went in to pick up my order, but I was greeted with a smile and my food was hot and ready to go. I got orange chicken, some sort of shrimp, noodles, veggie rolls, and cream cheese filled wontons. They were all terrific and the entire meal for two was under 15 dollars. They were, unfortunately, out of sweet and sour sauce, which is essential for wontons. That’s like a burger place being out of ketchup, but it’s all good because I had some sweet and sour sauce at home 😎.

The service was very good. The servers were friendly and polite. The food was generously proportioned, and the price was a very good deal. You can have a relatively healthy meal for a fast food level pricing. I had the egg roll and chicken curry. I ordered "hot", but the spiciness seemed to be on the milder side, but the food tasted good. I have added this restaurant on my favorites list for whenever I am in the area.

Delicious food, kind staff. Family-owned and great prices. Photos are of #47 Pad bai kra prao veggie and #48 Pad med mamuang himaphane tofu.

It’s always the same people working here. They’re always super friendly and fast with your orders. I recommend the pick 2 combo with lo mein as the side. (Sesame chicken/orange chicken/sweet and sour chicken/ beef & broccoli/ and chicken chow mein are in our usual rotation.)

The fried rice is pretty simple. We order it occasionally, but we don’t go here for fried rice. Egg rolls are good. Cheese wontons are good.

It’s a really good bang for your buck. You can get 2 entrees, and a couple appetizers for around $30. We usually have leftovers. It’s one of our go to take out spots. We’ve been consistently going here for a few years now. Call ahead and place your order. They have a couple small tables, but we always do take out.

Restaurant was clean, however as someone from out of town looking forward to eating there (we don’t have one in Rochester, MN) I frequent the twin cities for business. I was very disappointed. The honey walnut shrimp (always my fave) tasted as if it had been cooked in an unrinsed pan of orange chicken (the sauce was pretty bad), the orange chicken and sesame chicken were so spicy they were inedible for me and my 6yr old. When ordering the honey walnut shrimp I was informed on the line that it would be $7 extra for a side container of it. Okay no big deal I was really looking forward to it! Get to the register and was told it was actually $10, still money wasn’t an issue. But it just tasted like disappointment. I was also informed that the misquoted price of $7 was from a manager! Probably won’t be revisiting here.

Have been eating at ERK since my days at AVHS in the mid to late ‘00s and boy is it just as delicious and consistent 15 years later. The value is incredible (especially the combo box) and the service is always fast. They will turn around a delivery order in no time, and always go above and beyond to ensure a fantastic overall experience! Treat yourself to some of the best Chinese food in the south metro.

Drove past this place and saw the great reviews after looking it up, so I had to try!

I ordered online to pickup which was very convenient. Large quantities for the price and the egg rolls were some of the best I’ve had! The dipping sauce was delicious and the egg rolls were so flavorful. I also ordered the pad se lew with chicken at a medium spice level. Great flavor and the spice was perfect for me. The chicken was a little dry but overall it was still delicious. I definitely will come back!

Please just take beef & broccoli off the menu or call it a vegan dish cuz it's basically all broccoli & it's irritating! Like...why not just make it a premium item like they did the walnut shrimp & gone ahead & give up the appropriate portions! It makes no sense to have this item in the menu, then be that stingy with it! Anyways, the honey walnut shrimp is good. That's what I usually order, with cream cheese thingies & a egg roll

I ordered the daily 3 choice with fried rice, hot and spicy chicken, and green pepper steak. The rice was not good at all (Think white rice with soy sauce- no veggies) and soft. Supposed to have ham but I think there was a few pieces of chicken instead. Also it was soft (it didn’t seem fried). The pepper steak was good flavored but it’s more bell peppers and onions with a little steak. The spicy chicken was basically the same sauce and mixed but also had celery but more chicken. It had a good amount of chicken but didn’t taste the best. The fried chicken wings were good though and nice and crispy. I’m not sure if I’ll order again but the food was hot and ready when i arrived. It was a lot of food for $15 ish bucks tho!

What a treasure this place is. I’ve been going to Rascal’s family restaurant for over a decade and I had never tried Taste of Thaiyai which is next door. Frankly, I actually prefer this Thai place over Rascals now.

The food is excellent and generous. The Tom Yum was Yummy. The spring rolls were excellent. The wings were perfect. The beef curry was very complex and tasty. Also had the shrimp salad and it was fresh and light.

They were very busy for a Wednesday evening and there were a lot of take out orders as well. The entire restaurant was full yet the staff was friendly and professional. The service I give a solid A+

My only regret is not having tried Taste of Thaiyai sooner. Exceptional.

I’ve been here for another 8-10 times since my first review. This place has continued to be consistently good and has even gotten better. Tonight we had the Tom Kha, special spring rolls, duck curry, beef curry and it was all excellent. Service is friendly and quick. A+ again!

After dining the last 3-4 times, the food has remained excellent however the service has taken a massive nose dive. Tables are dirty. Service is unfriendly and uncaring. I feel bad for the cooks in the back making great food while the staff up front are failing miserably. Will not go back till they change.

First time trying the place with my daughter. We ordered several items. Beef and Broccoli as well as the Orange Chicken and Pork fried rice. Crab Rangoons and cheese cheese puffs and egg rolls. Overall the food was pretty good.

Chicken wasn't great but the fried rice was terrible. It was just white rice mixed with soy sauce. Had chunks of white rice in it and no vegetables just rice and bits of dry chicken. And for being the egg roll king.. there "egg roll" tasted odd and looked more like a spring roll.

This is my favorite take out restaurant in the entire area. The value is awesome, the food is delicious, and you can actually get spicy food when you order it extra hot. Plus they work hard and are nice people, so it's really a place I like to give business to.
