Very delicious I order a rainbow Fried rice and chicken Lomain. Place an order for pickup there is no seating inside. Very good customer service fresh food.

Our son used to eat here with friends and rave about the food, especially the five-spice chicken wings, bacon fried rice and chicken in black bean sauce. With his endorsement, we picked up take-out tonight and the food exceeded our expectations. It was fabulous.

Wonderful place that’s been around a long time. LOVE the mock duck with broccoli. Never a bad experience, always delicious and very fast take out.

Visiting Mpls, nothing better than catching up on Grace & Frankie with a pile of the best takeout. AND you can dip your calamari in the honey orange sauce.Best takeout ever.

Pickup order was very fast and it looked cute inside. By the time I got home one of my to-go ramekins of sauce opened and spilled all over my boxes. The sesame chicken was pretty disappointing, very little flavor.

Probably the best take out I've had in the neighborhood so far! We had 1.) Singapore noodles, good sized shrimp and good bites of char siu(?) pork. seasoned well but lightly so you're able to eat a lot of it 2.) 5 spice calamari, came seasoned BEAUTIFULLY with lots of garlic ginger and green onions to compliment 3.) cream cheese wontons with what I believe is a homemade sweet n sour sauce. I'd also like to add we asked for chili oil on the side and I also want to believe its home made, it was yummy and complemented the flavors of the dishes we had well.Would recommend this spot for take out. Ordering online was easy to navigate.

The best takeout I’ve had in a while! Every dish we ordered was excellent. The honey walnut shrimp was one of my favorites. Also enjoyed the sesame noodles, Chinese broccoli, and sesame tofu cilantro salad. Can’t wait to go back and try some more!

I love this place! I order from Rainbow at least once each time in back in Minneapolis visiting. Everything I’ve tried is delicious, but now that I have my favorites, I tend to stick to those. They have the best cream cheese wontons I’ve ever had, with the perfect amount of cream cheese to wonton ratio. None of that gross imitation crab (I’m not sure why anyone likes that in their wontons). I also love the Sesame noodles. I’ve tried to find something similar/comparable at other restaurants and haven’t had any luck. I’m so happy this place is surviving the pandemic! If you haven’t been here yet, go! You won’t regret it!

I placed an online order for a small appetizer and two dishes. They are adding 20% to each bill and there was almost $14 in taxes so my bill was over $62. There is no place to leave a message on an online order so I called to let them know I wanted to pick up in a couple hours. They don't answer their phone so I left a voicemail. On the voicemail they leave an email address. I emailed that address and I responded to the automated email saying that I wanted to pick up in a couple hours. A half hour later I received a text saying that my order was ready. The food was absolutely disgusting. We ate what we could stomach and pitched the rest--a terrible shame to waste food but we could not get it down. It's greasy, overcooked, and wan--absolutely no flavour. Such a colossal disappointment!

Horrible horrible horrible!!! Do not waste your money! Extremely rude! Charged my card then refused to make my food because I refused to give them my card information a second time because they claim the transaction didn’t go through even tho the money was deducted from my bank account. Said they needed to write my debit card info down also?? Sounds fishy!! I now have to go through the hassle to dispute the transaction and will be getting a new debit card because this seems really sketchy! If I could give them no stars I would.
