Reviews
The Lemon chicken, Crab Rangoon and the egg drop soup was a perfect meal for a quick lunch. If you’re in the south side of Downtown come by and have a try. A huge menu and lunch specials are til 3 pm.
While April’s may be a hole in the wall, the food is absolutely phenomenal. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time, and I’m so glad I finally did. I will 100% be back, even if the building itself needs some serious love. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:
* Customer Service: 1 Star
The service here is top-notch. Every single employee, from the cashier to the waiters, was incredibly friendly and attentive. They made our visit a pleasure. I would rate the service 10/10.
* Pricing: 1 Star
The prices are unbelievably affordable for the quality and portion sizes you get. The food is so good that I honestly think they could charge more to help upgrade their facilities. They’d still be a great value. I would rate the pricing 10/10.
* Cleanliness: Lost 1 Star
This is where the restaurant falls short. The facility looks very run-down, and honestly, it felt pretty dirty and unappetizing. While the food is amazing, the dining area desperately needs a deep clean and an upgrade. I also noticed the restroom was right by the seating area, which isn’t ideal. I would rate the cleanliness 1/10.
* Food: 1 Star
The food itself was fantastic, earning one full star from me! I have zero complaints about the quality and flavor of most of the dishes.
* General Tso’s Chicken: 10/10 — The best I’ve ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a crunchy breading, and it was packed with flavor all the way through.
* Fried Rice: 10/10 — Excellent flavor and packed with fresh vegetables.
* Cheese Rangoons: 1/10 — Unfortunately, these were a big letdown. They tasted strongly of old fryer oil, and it was clear they weren’t sealed correctly, as the oil seeped inside.
* Egg Rolls: 8/10 — These were much better than the rangoons. They had great flavor inside, and I didn’t taste any dirty oil.
* Egg Drop Soup: 10/10 — Absolutely delicious! It was so rich and flavorful.
* Beef & Broccoli: 10/10 — The beef had an amazing texture, which can be rare at some Chinese restaurants. It wasn’t chewy at all, and the vegetables and sauce were perfect.
* Convenience: 1 Star
April’s is incredibly fast, perfect for a quick lunch break. My soup came out in minutes, and our main dishes followed in less than five. The food was piping hot, and their drive-thru option is super convenient. I would rate the convenience 10/10.
Been years since Ive ate here, decided to try the Crispy Orange Beef, it was decent, kinda over the top on the orange flavor, too much orange peel for me, giving it a bitter flavor, had to start digging the chunks of orange out.. We also ordered the tempura shrimp, which was pretty good. Nothing overly amazing this meal, but the prices compared to other places now made it a good deal. If anything I would return just because the food is fair to good, and the prices are below average at the moment.
Service was good, food came out quick, everything tasted good.

First time dining here. Service was decent, food was decent, prices were fair.
Having passed the location many times and a friend saying the food there was decent, we decided to stop in for a meal. I ordered the General Chicken, the portion size was more than enough.
Time to get our order was decent, about 10 minutes. The place was pretty busy with people coming in to pick up orders, and it seems to be the neighborhood Chinese restaurant getting business from surrounding neighborhoods and the downtown area.
I would consider visiting again, maybe during lunch to try some other plates, but even though it wasn’t disappointing, but at the same time the General Chicken wasn’t impressive enough to bring me back.
