Like some of its restaurant neighbors, Rainbow Chinese Restaurant crossed the street into bigger accommodations and upgraded its dining atmosphere. More of an upscale kind of place now amid less expensive ethnic Eat Street eateries, this bar and restaurant also stands out for those with Chinese dining preferences. Many are those who clamor for Rainbow's stir-fries, noodle dishes or varieties of seafood. While the menu seems to offer everything under the Chinese cuisine rainbow, regulars have favorites that bring them back from around the Cities. Standards and specialty items are equally well regarded both by experts and those with more cautious palates. The five Wong sisters who own Rainbow are to blame for the success of this always-busy location, mostly due to their attention to freshness and other, smaller details. The colorful dining room is friendly to groups and kids, as well as the budget, while a full service bar beckons to couples or singles waiting for takeout. -- John Sharpe

    MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN GOING TO RAINBOW FOR ABOUT 13 YEARS. THIS FAMILY OWNED BUSSINESS HAS WATCHED OUR FAMILY GROW DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR FOOD IS OUR INTIRE FAMILIES' "FAVORITE". I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT WE DO NOT THIS FAMILY BY NAME, ONLY BY FACE.

    What a fabulous night spot. a place to bring your children, your new gay lover, your friends and neighbors. It's a wonderful place to come casual or dressed to the nines and enjoy outstanding dishes. The synopsis does not do this restaurant justice at all, noodles indeed. How about elegant soups curries, seafood dishes and fragrant pork. Wonderful wine selection, and absolutely no room for dessert. Try the wontons, my 4 year old loves the Chicken with Nuts. The shrimp with curry, shrimp with walnuts and cream sauce are great.
