It is one of my preferred hole in the wall Chinese restaurants to pickup and take home. I am particularly finicky about my egg drop soup and they always get it right. Pepper steak and fried rice variations are also favorites of mine. Occasionally I dip a random appetizer into the mix. read more

I came here for the first time and thought i would try their food. I walk and there is plenty of tables and they were clean and bright. Large papers stating they had yak. Oh yak...ok Customer service taking my order to go was nice. I ordered pork fried rice. I opened to see brown rice but as usual its yellow rice and the pork is fine the rice I don't like and its crunchy the flavor was ok. If i come back i may try pancit noodles or something read more

Ordered food through DoorDash. First time ordering from here and receive my food ridiculously fast. Followed my special request of no veggies in the lo mein. Pretty good.

Chinese Food Christmas Eve family tradition... Ordered takeout, food hot and tasty, and service was great! I live close to this place and have eaten here a few times! Food has always been good, portions seem to be consistent, and always friendly service! Very thankful that we were able to continue our family tradition! read more

So clean inside! (You actually see people eating inside.) This location is close to our home and they have great food at reasonable prices I recently ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp and it was amazing. They also have quite a few vegetarian dishes with tofu, I think they are pretty good too. read more

This place has become horrible over the years. It use to be my favorite Chinese spot and I would travel over 40 minutes to eat here and bring friends from out of town here to share this great cuisine. I noticed about a year ago when I came it wasn't as good but still better than most. Today I was in the area and decided to get sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken for my father that was visiting. The sesame was so chewy I was embarrassed I had given it to my dad and the sweet and sour was tasteless along with the chicken fried rice not even the duck sauce and soy (which I normally don't use especially soy) couldn't bring it around. $30 wasted I hope one day they can revamp the place I use to know. read more

I don't know why, but Mom wanted to have Chinese for dinner and "quick-order" Chinese to boot. Mom went with a chicken and broccoli. She's been here before so she knew to ask for the broccoli "well done" since it's usually rather crunchy. I ordered a simple pork lo mein, sticking to a classic that they would have no problem preparing. And yes, it was done nicely with plenty of pork in there and the pork fried rice with it was excellent. A little hot mustard and we were at perfect. The restaurant isn't fancy and it isn't somewhere to look for "traditional" or "authentic" Chinese but it is definitely classic "Americanized Chinese" and that is perfectly okay. read more

Ok so Covid household so we ordered door dash and picked rainbow garden for the 4.7 star reviews. We had sweet n sour chicken. My dil and granddaughter had this but for $11 the serving was small. My son ordered Mongolian beef but it was 1 pound of white onions, a sprinkling of green onions(had to look for them) and maybe 4oz. of beef. SERIOUSLY! NO LIE! We had to look for the meat! It should be called MONGOLIAN ONIONS! The wings were crispy but really small. Normally Chinese restaurant wings are huge. These were small. $8 for 4 small wings. The hot n sour soup was good but had no meat(pork and chicken strips are a mainstay) and no tofu. Flavor was good. There were plenty of wontons in the wonton soup so that was nice. But for $51 it was DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT! Chinese food has always been affordable but this was ridiculous. read more

Was in the area so I decided to try the lunch special for Rainbow Garden. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean it was. This is one of the cleanest Chinese places I've seen. They get an extra star for that. The prices I think are little more expensive than a typical place. It took about 15 minutes for them to make the food. The food was ok, nothing to write home about. We ordered the crab Rangoon, chicken with broccoli, orange chicken, and Chicken Lo Mein. The Lo Mein was really good though. I'm not sure if I'll be back but I wouldn't not recommend them. Give it try! read more

Our Chinese spot close by the house! Always very clean inside with fresh, cooked to order Chinese. They have a clean flavor profile and always hits the spot. The family special is a great option that will leave you with plenty left over. They also have a diet menu. Overall, if you want a clean establishment with fresh takeout (or eat in) Chinese, this place won't upset you. Definitely worth a try. read more

I have to update my review and say that I don't recommend this restaurant. I'm extremely allergic to shellfish (shrimp, crab, etc.) and ordered only items that do not contain those ingredients. I've been having an allergic reaction ever since I ate lunch early this afternoon. This is very dangerous. I'm not sure what is going on in that kitchen but you need to be more careful. Adding ingredients that are common allergens can literally end someone's life. I didn't order shrimp and yet here I am with a swollen throat, and a puffy, itchy body. I won't be ordering ever again. read more

I surly appreciate them giving my money back never have I had food that tasteless in my life. The picture of the lo mein on their website looks exactly like what we had reading the reviews i was expecting great food. Wish I would've paid more attention to the pictures‍ read more

Never again. Got house special lo mein. Tasted good until I found myself chewing on a 1.25" metal shaving. Had I swallowed it, it was sharp enough to lacerate my esophagus, intestine, etc. I have reported this to the health dept. Eat here with CAUTION. Picture has been uploaded as proof. read more

Rainbow Garden - Beware...this METAL shaving was in my lo mein. It' 1.25 inch long. - Chinese Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

How this place has anything more than 2 stars I guess I will never know.. I ordered a simple beef lo mein and chicken fried rice. For lack of better terms, this was THE WORST Chinese take out I've ever tasted. Let's be real here, this is just chinese take out, I'm not expecting much here. I'm not walking into a Mcdonald's expecting a perfect Kobe Steak Burger. Just some noodles and fried rice. My LARGE beef lo main had about 9 slices of celery (?!) in it, a SINGLE piece of green onion lost in there, and I kid you not, 8 tiny shrubs of "beef". Not to mention it was SO BAD TASTING. It was SOUR. My chicken fried rice was even worse. There was nothing but rice in it. I had 4 pieces of chicken in it. It tasted so bland that I had to put it in my frying pan, re-cooked and re-season the whole thing. Take a look at the photo of my "Chicken Fried Rice" when I poured it out into my pan, it's pathetic. COMPLETELY DEFEATED THE PURPOSE OF ORDERING TAKE OUT. I ENDED UP COOKING ANYWAY. This place is a sorry excuse for a business. If I could give ZERO stars I surely would x1000 times over. read more

Rainbow Garden - There's nothing but nasty bland over cooked rice, onions, and 4 pieces of Chicken. Chicken Fried Rice ladies and gentlemen. - Chinese Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Clean, friendly & fast service, great prices...and delicious food! In the past few years it's been our go to place. I've tried another local restaurant, but it didn't compare to Rainbow Garden. Favorite dish: Chow Mei Fun (thin rice noodles) with chicken. All of their food is good though! read more

This Chinese food strikes me as just mediocre. The mushroom chicken had the meat under-cooked, though the mushrooms were yummy. Hot sour soup was pretty good, but I threw half of it away. Not a bad restaurant, but there are so many options in VB. Why settle for food that is just okay? read more

Food was ready quickly, tasted amazing, and was affordably priced. We had plain lo mein noodles, broccoli chicken lunch special, and general tso's chicken lunch special which came with rice. It was enough for my 4 kids (ages 2-11) and I to have our fill and have a little bit of leftovers for under $20. I honestly think it's my favorite of all of the Chinese places I've tried since moving to Chesapeake a year ago. Interior is not a fancy restaurant by any means but it's clean and much nicer than similar Chinese food places I've been too. My only complaint was it was SO hot inside. It must have been 80-90 degrees easily and it was a beautiful day out (in the low 70's). I wish they would have propped the door open (kick stand was duct taped up otherwise I would have done it). Next time we'll just pick up and avoid the heat. We will definitely come again next time we're in the area. read more

Hands down the BEST Chinese in Hampton roads, I've tried MANY different places in the 25 years I've lived here and this is the best, portions are large, prices are reasonable and the taste is just WONDERFUL. Staff is always helpful and the restaurant is clean and quick! read more

My thoughts of the evening... - For some reason I reason I always crave Chinese food. - All the time. - Seriously, all I ever feel like eating is Chinese food. - Or chicken wings. - But they serve chicken wings at Chinese take-out spots. - I tried to order kung pao chicken with brown rice. To maybe sort of feel not as unhealthy. - "No brown rice? Well, (bleep) it. Let's go for the chicken wings." (So much for that idea.) - A chicken wing sushi piece is taking the fried chicken skin from a flap and wrapping it around rice. You should try this. It is the most epic thing ever. Ever. - Chinese chicken wings take me to my happy place. - I work out every day so I can ish like this. read more

Good place for dim sum. Really only do the dim sum at this place. The salt and pepper pork chops is good too.

Completely recommended!!!! I would like to suggest Singapore noodles--yes there is curry in them, soooo good!! My 12 year old who loves spicy food loves the Singapore noodles. The restaurant is not like any run of the mill Chinese food place. This restaurant is very clean, like marble tiles, clean windows and staff that wears hair nets. I came to this restaurant because I wanted a new place other than Han Xing in Kempsville. I suggest to order: Singapore Noodles General Tsos Plain lo mein read more

Ordered takeout last night from Rainbow Garden. I ordered sesame chicken for myself and orange flavored chicken for my boyfriend. Our meals came with the exact same sauce with sesame seeds sprinkled on my chicken and orange peels sprinkled on his, and the sauce tasted like sweet and sour sauce. The sauce tasted good but ultimately it was not what we ordered and we did not even order the same type of sauce, pretty disappointing! The gyoza dumplings and egg drop soup were perfect. read more

I have had a lot of Chinese in this area and this place is in my top 3. They do take out and delivery and I find the delivery to be a real bonus. Tonight we dropped around $40 in this place and everyone was happy. We got the General Tso's Chicken, Pepper Beef, Garlic Beef, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Mixed Veggies, Crab Ragoon & wanton soup. All the food was really good. The crab rangoon was actually sweet which was different for me but still good. I really enjoyed the soup. This place offers a lot of food choices so next time I will venture into new territory. My kids love shrimp so I foresee some shrimp the future. read more

Ordered to go and they jacked up my order! 1. My main dish was missing the mushrooms which I was charged $1.95 additional for. 2. They forgot my crab Rangoon and stated it would be 40 minutes and they would have to charge me! 3. No sauce or fortune cookies! Overall the food tastes like all other Chinese places so go elsewhere Not I ordered from another place with doordash right after and had no issues! read more

It was my first time eating here. I have a hard time eating at restaurants next to pet stores - it just seems unsanitary. I would give this place 5 stars but some things didn't sit well with me. They gave me a lukewarm egg roll (how?. The curry dish was great in taste; however, the onions were not cooked enough for my liking - they were too crunchy - I prefer a sautéed onion. The brown ginger sauce dish was amazing in taste; the broccoli and carrots were cooked just right. It appeared to be a clean establishment - floors, walls countertop. However, there was a dirty high chair available for seating but I don't know of a loving parent who would subject their child to it. I didn't try to view the bathrooms. The same guy who worked the cash register (handled cash) was grabbing napkins and forks to place in the to go order bags. Would I go back? Only if I was in a hurry and all other Chinese restaurants were closed. read more

Rainbow garden used to be our go to Chinese restaurant. Over the past year or so the food has become more hit and miss. Recently more miss than anything. The General Tso's is hard and the rice has been crunchy. The lo mein has not failed me yet but we will be looking for another place to eat. I'm not sure what changed but it's disappointing. read more

I am never disappointed when I order food from this spot. The best egg foo young ever! The family meal deal is the best value for your money if you're feeding more than two people. The food is always served fresh. This isn't around the corner from where I live and I don't mind making the drive every time. read more

When we first moved to VA Beach, I struggled to find a good Chinese take out place. Then I found Rainbow Garden, this is the BEST Chinese take out in the area. The hunan shrimp is the best! read more

I finally found a Chinese take out place that doesn't make me sick! Rainbow Garden is delicious and their food is fresh and flavorful. Their egg rolls are crunchy and delicious and not dripping with grease. I wish I would have ordered more than one! While most take out places pack their pork fried rice with huge chunks of onion, Rainbow Garden put in just the right amount and chopped them up nice and small allowing them to compliment and not overpower the other flavors in the rice. Their chicken and broccoli is divine! The chicken tastes fresh and melts in your mouth, not dry or gummy, and the broccoli had a good crunch. And of course it was smothered in that fabulous sauce that was not overly salty or full of garlic. Just the right blend of flavors. I will definitely be trying more from their menu. This is excellent Chinese food cooked with care. read more

I have been going to No. 1 chinese for YEARS! After seeing the great ratings on yelp for Rainbow I decided to try. And there food is amazing!!!!!! I still like No 1, but let's just say I haven't been back there since I've tried Rainbow . I always get the shrimp and broccoli and it is cooked well each time! They are fast and on top of their game!! They have a slightly different flavor which I love an fresher taste than any other chinese place I've tried. Good food! Must at least try!! read more

Definitely one of the better Chinese spots in vb. Fast and fresh good at this locations. It is typical American Chinese but good. Some places I don't trust the chicken they use but I can trust this place because they've never given me weird chicken when eating here. read more

First time ordering here while traveling. I was totally impressed with the quality of their food. I had the beef & broccoli and I can't say I have ever had better. Kudos to the Chef! Oh I forgot to mention that I had it delivered to my hotel. Will definitely be back on my next trip to VA BCH. read more
