    Went here on a Thursday for lunch and oh my, soo enjoyable. 1pm and we were seated right away. We aimed for only dim sum. You get a dim sum menu that you can mark up the quantity you want and they will bring it out. Their original dim sum items were a hit with us. Har gow - must x2 Shrimp rice paper in sauce - amazing. Shu Mai - yes! Fried Fish fillet in salt and pepper - a must Spareribs - so flavorful We tried a few others and it was not that good. Bbq crispy pork - it was quite chewy and skin was not crispy. Green beans - were a bit overcooked Fried har gow - doughy. Great service and very attentive workers. They offered us a lobster for $30 as we ordered over $30 of food. We had too much food to take them on this offer but if we come back, this is a must. Clean restaurant and plenty of parking in the front and side.

    Bottle of Sauvignon Blanc

    I've been coming to Rainbow Kitchen for years, and I can't believe I'm only now getting around to writing a review. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, this is one of my favorite spots. They consistently offer fresh seafood, including live fish, lobster, and crab. Our go-to order always includes: * Dungeness crab with ginger and scallions -- incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. * Salt and pepper calamari -- crispy, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. * Ong choy with garlic -- fresh, simple, and packed with flavor. We usually pair our meal with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The owner is a true wine enthusiast and always has an excellent selection at very reasonable prices, without the typical restaurant markup. The best part? They allow BYOB with no corkage fee, which is a rare and much-appreciated bonus. Rainbow Kitchen has been a longtime favorite of ours, and we always leave happy. Highly recommended!

    Hot n Sour soup
    Cass B.

    This place has been on my list to try for quite a while. Finally made it in. It's 2pm and 103 degrees and I want soup! Hot n Sour soup. Since my previous favorite place closed, it's been difficult to find it without meat or seafood. I usually ask for it extra spicy but I saw chili oil and white pepper on the table, so I opted not to ask. Good thing I didn't! It's perfectly hot the way it is. It's think the way it should be with beautiful ribbons of egg. I didn't care for their choice of mushroom, easy enough to avoid. Instead of tofu, they use wheat noodles which was a nice change. It comes in a huge bowl, so I will have plenty to take home. The server was kind and ladled into a smaller bowl for me. There are about 15 tables, ranging from a table for two to rounds for 8. On this particular day, every patron was Chinese! That's when you know it's authentic. I didn't care not know they serve dim sum, so I will be back for that.

    Salt n Pepper Pork Chop
    Yolanda M.

    I'm saddened with my order today. I really like Rainbow Kitchen I have never been disappointed with their food ever until today. The Salt n Pepper Pork Chops were cooked to death like a jerky it was bland no salt n pepper whatsoever and super thin and hard to eat. The salted fish n chicken fried rice just as bland even with the salted fish added almost as if they were stingy with the salted fish. I give them 1 Star today for the disappoint. Everyone has their days and maybe today whoever cooked my food was having theirs. I will absolutely give them another chance but if it does happen again like today, I will not be back. (I've been ordering from there over 5years now)

    Seafood chow fun and kung pao chicken
    Vincent G.

    Ordered food for takeout and it was still piping hot when I got home 30 minutes later. Service was fast as we called the order in when we were on our way already. Great touch separating the sauce from the noodles. Extremely flavorful sauce too, by the way. The kung pao chicken was also perfectly portioned. I first thought $40 for this entire meal was a bit steep, but the portions and flavor definitely made up for it (the rice was a nice touch too). The inside was very clean and I definitely would dine here again.

    We arrived at 10:50 and there was a line out the door being an avid dim sum aficionado and eating it every Sunday for the last 30+ years throughout the world has really elevated my taste. One thing I like besides the incredible service is the quality of the food. The products they use and that this is actually one of the healthiest dim sum I've ever eaten with less added fats, salts, or MSG. If you love dim sum like I do and your health conscience and worry about fitness and what you're putting into your body this is the place you definitely have to go to

    Tangerine beef rice rolls
    Corinne P.

    Love coming here for dim sum lunch. It's close to my house and big restaurant for a lot of people too. We waited only about 10 min for the 2 of us to get seated. We ordered tangerine beef rice rolls, eggplant stuffed with shrimp paste, and salt n pepper fish. We also ordered oolong tea as well. Tea is $1.88 a person. Everything came out hot and fresh. The eggplant portion was really big and perfect to share. They cut them in halves. The salt n pepper fish had lot of fried garlic, green onion, and jalapenos for flavor. I like how the batter wasn't too thick and oily as well. The tangerine beef rice rolls didn't have too much tangerine flavor as before but still delicious. They have a lot of items on their menu worth trying. They have duck, seafood, noodles, and some dessert dim sum to try as well. Looking forward to coming back to try more items with more people.

    Been coming here for years and its been always a go to spot! We've dine in and take out. Restaurant is decent size and it can accommodate bug parties. They can get busy. Their menu is has so many of our faves! Service - most of the time is great. This visit we ordered BBQ Pork, Roast Pig, Peking Pork, Salt N Pepper pork chops, Beef chow fun, salt and pepper pork chops and Braised tofu and veg. It's been a while since we've ate here and it was just as good as I remembered.Def worth a place to check out- esp dinner! Havent had dim sun here in a minute but im sure its just as good!

    The Peking duck was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. The presentation alone was impressive--crispy golden skin carved tableside with precision, followed by tender, juicy slices of duck that practically melted in every bite. The highlight was the contrast in textures: the skin was perfectly crisp and rich, while the meat stayed incredibly soft and flavorful. Each piece was wrapped in warm pancakes with fresh cucumber, scallions, and a delicate hoisin sauce that balanced everything beautifully without overpowering the duck.

    Busy restaurant for a great dim sum! Went Sunday and this place was packed! Been before for dim sum and definitely this one hits the spot! Pro tip, if you want their baked BBQ BUNS, get there early. By 12:30, there were none left to purchase. They are super delish, and was disappointed we didn't get them. For the yummies we did get, Yass, everything was super, hot and served fast! Would recommend this place, but there could be a wait for tables, esp if you have big a big groups. This is a checklist style of dimsum, no carts. I leave my order in the photos, to give a guide line. Pretty standard order, nothing too strange. Standouts are the eggplant stuffed with shrimp and the taro puffs.

    This restaurant should get more spotlight on it's authentic and great quality dim sum! Forget about the "wannabe" so called dim sum places on the strip. Really people come here for the dim sum fixes. Also. I'm calling out those AYCE dim sum and Chinese place for feeding us frozen/leftover like dim sums. You have nothing compare to this restaurant! To be honest, I'm surprised about the good quality and how much they stick to the traditional flavors. All the items we ordered are pretty tasty. If it needs to be crunchy, it's crunchy. If it needs to have lava-like salty egg yolk inside the bun, it has exactly what you are expecting! The service is awesome too. They check on the pot often and refill it. They even charge plates once. Wow! I never experienced this level of service unless it's a very nice Chinese restaurant. This restaurant deserves better and more reviews. My friends and I are looking forward to come back.

    Crispy dumplings
    Nguyen T.

    Rainbow Kitchen is now my go-to spot for dim sum and dumplings in SW Las Vegas! Nestled in a strip mall on Rainbow Blvd, this casual Cantonese restaurant serves truly fresh, made-to-order dim sum with no carts, just impeccable quality. Highlights include crispy dumplings pear shape (but tbh I call them DUCKLINGS lol) and the porridge. They serve it for you and you just eat. The portions are generous and bursting with flavor. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, with friendly, attentive staff (I love how they employ older gen staff and they are all SUPER NICE), a refreshing change from the chaos of Chinatown. I'm now a regular!

    I have been craving for Chinese food. I saw this on TikTok and it looks good. We went to check it out. It wasn't busy when we got there so we got seated right away. The service was okay. The food was okay. We ordered a lot to tryout including my takeout shrimp with scrambled eggs.

There were several dishes where the ingredients seemed to compete rather than complement each other. The mochi ducklings were adorable and perfect for photos, but the filling wasn't particularly memorable. The lightly sweet-yet-savory flavor combined with the chestnut crunch was actually a little off-putting. For a meat-filled mochi, I expected something more distinctly savory. The rainbow shrimp crepes were another visual standout, but the rice roll itself was too thick and not as soft or flavorful as I would have liked. The colorful bands looked interesting, but whatever vegetable or herb mixture was used had such a strong flavor that it overwhelmed the shrimp and sauce. The shrimp ended up feeling like an afterthought. The coconut pudding was also gorgeous, but the texture was surprisingly firm--closer to agar than a soft, creamy pudding. I've had much better versions elsewhere. The lobster dumplings were good, although I wish they had been served with a plate. They arrived in the bamboo steamer directly on the table, and after pumping the butter into the dumplings, it ended up running all over the table. The fried tofu was probably the safest choice and enjoyable. The fried bass was good as well, except for the peppercorn seasoning. I was expecting more of a classic salt-and-pepper flavor, but the Sichuan-style zing felt out of place to me. One small but important operational suggestion: they should replace the black credit card holders. The card blends into the holder so well that it's incredibly easy to overlook. I actually left my credit card behind because I couldn't see it in the holder. A contrasting color or different design would probably prevent a lot of forgotten cards. Overall, it was an interesting experience with beautiful presentation and some very creative ideas, but for me, the visuals were stronger than the flavors. I'm glad I tried it, but it probably isn't somewhere I'd return to.
