    Been wanting to check out Rainbow Palace for years, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It's an upscale Chinese restaurant with excellent food and beautiful Art Deco decor, which I loved. The restaurant was packed and lively, but not so loud that it interrupted conversation. We started with the wonton soup and shrimp and lobster dumplings. The broth was incredibly flavorful and the wontons were perfectly tender. The dumplings were outstanding packed with lobster flavor and the wasabi-infused dipping sauce was so good we ended up using it on our entrees as well. For mains, we split the orange beef, Hunan chicken, and lo mein. The Hunan chicken was crispy yet tender, and the orange beef was full of flavor without being overly sweet. The lo mein uses thin noodles, which made it especially delicious. Service was exceptional and very attentive throughout the meal. Honestly, it's hard to pick a favorite dish because everything was so good. Ate the leftovers for lunch and it was still so good! Haha! Can't wait to come back

    I had been waiting a long time to try this place! The restaurant is so clean and the ambiance is very chic. My critique, however, is that the taste and portion sizes of the food do not justify the ridiculousness of the price points. Paying almost $50 for four shrimp? Outrageous. We ordered the squid appetizer, shrimp gwin jin, orange chicken, sesame chicken, and lo mein. The only one of those dishes I would eat again is the shrimp but not for $47.

    We have been eating there over 18 years. The flavors are consistent which is why we go. Tonight was very disappointing. The pork was all fat and grizzly ! More onions than rice Have they change chefs??

    The food was decent, but a bit pricey for Chinese cuisine. They offered the usual Chinese restaurant menu, along with some unique dishes. Overall, the food was satisfactory, but nothing extraordinary. We ordered a variety of entrées to share, and the waiter portioned out our plates. However, I found the small water and soda glasses to be a bit annoying. Since the glasses were so small, my glass kept going empty before the waiter would refill it.

    Make a reservation!! Parking can get tricky as there are other restaurants in the same area. This restaurant has been here for over 20+ years and has always been really good. Other than that, the place is elegant, and serves delicious Chinese food that is made with fresh ingredients. Not cheap for the type of food it is but very worth it! The sweet and sour chicken, one of the specials of the day when we went was outstanding: crunchy, but juicy, chunks of pineapple. Probably the best dish we tried that night! The drinks were reasonably priced and on the spot too! The mai tai was good and the espresso martini was really good. Service was friendly, prompt and courteous.

    One here with the family. Inside was ordinately designed. Beautiful murals, and nice plates. Service was solid, very attentive to the tables needs. Sesame, tasted very fresh and light for a dish in this style. Price was a little high for the quantity that I received, but thought that the experience was solid overall

    Have been a few times and we have had a great experience. Overall I will say it's on the higher side on cost and food doesn't match the price tag. It's an easy $120 dinner without drinks. I'm not sure it's worth coming back

    Rainbow palace is located in a landmark building. The food is good but the service is exceptional. Our server went above and beyond. We restaurant decorations and architecture is art deco, it feels like you are traveling back in time.

    I remember when this was Christina Wan's which also did catering and the club, Out Boating, had…read moremany of her fine meals. Though Christina is still around she retired and a sold to a relative so the restaurant still bares the Wan name and still has the best in Chinese food. What so much sets Wan's apart from other area Chinese restaurants is that it is maintained impeccable clean. Others in the area are notoriously known for being dirty and a quick check of Dirty Dining proves that. Also, Wan's tends to be more authentic Chinese, whereas others are more New York Chinese; hello General Tao's Chicken. LOL! Wan's is also one of the very few places you can get a real Peking Duck without advanced ordering, which is what I had. It came with the duck totally debone with great marination flavors accompanied by a delicious Hoisin sauce and the most delicate of pancakes. For Chinese food I can definitely recommend Wan's.

    After seeing Wan's Tik-Tok videos for a year, we decided to go give it a try. We received the…read moremenus and started perusing them. I asked if they had one in Chinese so my wife could easily read it. She doesn't read English too well. To my surprise, they didn't have one. OK. No problem, I know what she likes so I ordered for her. I was hoping for more actual Chinese fare, but it was all Americanized Chinese dishes. I ordered the Sichuan Beef (which was marked spicy) and asked for it to be made extremely spicy. The waiter told me that he would bring some chili oil with the meal. I also ordered the Velveted Shrimp, Green Beans with Pork (which I was hoping would be like a Gan Bian Si Ji Dou, A very Famous Sichuan dish), and the Steamed Cod. The rice bowl was upside down on a small plate and came out almost immediately. Interesting presentation and it is supposed to keep it warm or something? We waited 10 minutes for the rest of the dishes to arrive. Not a long wait at all. First thing I dove into was the Sichuan Beef, as I lived in the Sichuan Province and love the Sichuan Style spicy food. I didn't see a single pepper, pepper flake or Sichuan Peppercorn in it at all.It wasn't really spicy at all. I asked my wife to give it a try, as things I find not spicy at all, she finds too spicy. She didn't taste a hint of spicy at all. I dumped the entire spicy chili oil that the waiter brought in and mixed it up and tried it again. Still nothing. My wife could still eat it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything really great. When I order Sichuan Spicy food, I expect serious heat, and the mouth numbing Sichuan Peppercorn flavors. Zero. The Green Beans with Pork were pretty meh, as were the Velveted Shrimp and the Steamed Cod. There really wasn't much taste to any of it. If you look at the pictures, you will notice that the sauces were not reduced and did not cling to the food. Maybe that was part of the problem. I jokingly told my wife it was probably better than a Cheap Chinese buffet and not as good as an average authentic Chinese Restaurant. She said she would rather go to the buffet, and she never goes to the buffets... We did arrive there right when they opened and saw Wan come in a half hour later. Maybe the problem was that it wasn't him cooking the food. I do like his video's though. The cost of these four dishes and a soda was $110.00. Highly overpriced, in my opinion, for pretty average Americanized Chinese food.

However, when the waitress returned to take our order, she informed us that they were out of fried chicken. Since fried chicken is a staple in many of their dishes, I wish she had mentioned this sooner. We proceeded to order our food, but the waitress returned to inform us that they were also out of the short rib, which was the initial dish I had ordered. Despite these setbacks, I decided to try the spicy Cajun pasta, which was incredibly flavorful and packed with shrimp. The Carne Asada fries were also good, but I found the mango a bit odd. I also wish they chopped the vegetables on the salad. Had to keep asking for water refills. Overall, not impressed by this quaint little place.

It had that cozy, homey feel that makes you want to stay a little longer. This was easily a 10/10 experience for me, and I'll definitely be back soon!

I agreed to the soup anyways (with pork ribs floating) and it was yummy with lemongrass and other interesting flavors. A bit messy to get the meat out of the soup and off the bone but the meat was very tender. My friend and I split a meal and it was just the right amount of food. Neither of us could pinpoint the spices. Who cares, it was delicious. I never take food photos but Yelpers always request them so I have included some. The presentation of the yummy salad with cabbage standing straight up deserved a photo. My guess is anything you get here will not disappoint. Give them a try!
