We called in an order and picked it up to bring home. It was the worst Asian meal I've had. This was disappointing because we've eaten here several times and enjoyed the food. I had wonton soup. The dumpling was just nasty. The chicken was on its own because the dumpling was slimy. We also had orange chicken. The chicken was so stringy it was nearly impossible to eat. I did call to let them know about the meal, but they didn't call back, so I guess they don't care if it was good or not.

Don't let this hotel-attached restaurant fool you! My son recommended we eat here a week ago when my wife was out of town. I was so impressed with the friendly service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and fresh variety of Asian cuisine, that I brought my wife here after church. We try to hit different restaurants on Sunday. Justin was very professional and friendly. The Singapore Noodles and Cashew Chicken were fantastic. Rainbow has a nice bar area and as long as people are there, will serve food till 3AM. Nice to know if you want a nice meal late in the evening.

Wonderful experience. Out waiter, Justin, was very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. Portions are huge. You have to try the salad with ginger dressing and the brown rice. It was the most perfectly cooked rice I've ever had anywhere. I will be back for more cashew chicken, too. Delicious!

We went here Thursday at 5 PM for dinner and there was a sign stating the bartender was the person we needed to see when we entered. We went to the bar he was the only one working no Waitresses no hostesses just a bartender. we ordered drunken noodles, Thai lettuce wraps, Tom Yum soup. The Tamien soup had large huge pieces of green pepper which I’m not used to seeing in my Tom Yum the flavor was pretty good however the chunks were like the size of a half a dollar and made the experience unpleasant. The lettuce wraps were wealthy with what seemed like ground chicken in a tomatoey sauce it looks like thick goulash, and taste it overpowering with tomatoey seasoning of some sort served with the course a very thick hoisin sauce. I requested sweet chili sauce to try to lighten up the meal however I could not eat this it was unpalatable to me. My husband‘s drunken noodles were better however they were extremely greasy and I couldn’t have more than a bite without feeling the grease sliding down my throat. Other people were walking into place orders the poor bartender had to run out each time so it was a long experience to check out.

This is a hidden gem ! Every time I visit my daughter I come here. It’s never busy but the food is awesome! Everything is fresh. Great portions and always served hot.

I've been to numerous Thai cuisines in America and this one was the worst one. Penang curry was basically a couple of green beans a few carrots and sauce. thanks but ill miss this the next time

Rainbow Asian cuisine is run by a lovely Thai-American family. One of the owners, Da, is incredibly gracious and willing to make off-order menu items to accommodate my tastes for Thai cuisine that perhaps might not be scalable for a restaurant in this region.The entire family has created a lovely space, with a dedicated bar and separate dining area that’s warm, clean and comfortable.Life is about relationships, and it’s always good to have a connection with the people giving us the bread to break and rice to share.This is the exact type of business I love to support. I’ll be coming back.

Went to dinner on short notice and worked out way through six dishes starting with fried tofu and spring rolls as appetizers and ending with drunken noodles and the tamarind tilapia. Everything was fresh, flavorful and perfect. I could not recommend this restaurant enough.

We have been hunting good Asian food since we moved here. The Rainbow Asian Cuisine is not only good but fantastic and some of the best we've ever had. Our server was great and even brought us tastes of Boba tea. Thank you so much for one the most enjoyable dining experiences we had in a long time.

The staff was very friendly and the food came out fast, however, it was very poor quality. The fried rice isn't fried rice, I ordered general Tso chicken spicy and sesame chicken and they both had the same sauce on it, not spicy at all. There were Itty bitty little pieces of chicken in a very thick heavy batter. The crab Rangoon was way over fried and had a weird watery sauce with it. Very expensive for what it is. Definitely my first and last time eating here
