New Apolo — Restaurant in New York

If half stars were allowed, this would be a 3.5 star review. Compared to the Chino Latino spots I grew up eating at in Sunset Park, does it taste the same or as good? No. Does it get the job done? Yes. I didn’t know this location existed until it popped up on Ubereats.

Ordered some egg rolls once and I was not a fun of It; I would not get those again. Tried their chicken wings and thought they were great. Their pork fried rice was great too. Also tried the strawberry smoothie, piña colada, and mango slushie and I was pleased with all three; just remember to shake your drink if you leave it idle for a couple of mins.
