    Takeout dinner
    Julie F.

    We had the distinct pleasure of attending a wonderful dinner party with friends with takeout food from this Chinese restaurant. It was coincidence that it took place in time for a celebration of the Lunar New Year. This "hole in the wall" restaurant has been in Pompano for as long as I can remember. It's set back off Federal Highway. I've driven past here a million times, but it always looked too shady to stop at -- even though I'd read some good reviews. This party invitation was a perfect opportunity to try their cuisine when one of the hosts had highly recommended them. We got to try their Singapore rice noodles, beef with snow pea pods, a chicken dish with scallions (?), boneless pork ribs, and moo shu pork with pancakes. Although the rice noodles dish is usually one of my favorite dishes and I liked it, their version when we tried it was a bit too spicy for me to have more than one serving. My favorites of the evening turned out to be the pork dishes -- both the boneless ribs and the moo shu which came with soft pancakes and hoisin sauce, as well. Portions were large enough that we all got to bring home extra servings. I'm so glad we finally got to try their food. Now we can comfortably try more of their menu in the future.

    Consistently good. Great value. Large portions. NYC Style. Wings are great. Mongolian Beef and Curry Chicken are exceptional.

    Dessert from another mother.

    Sometimes those little hole-in-the-wall, stick your nose up places are the best gems in disguise. Max and I are lucky to have wonderful friends who said that we should meet at their place for Sunday dinner. Each couple chipped in and had enough for take home after the takeout. The dessert in the picture is from another restaurant, but it was the best compliment to finish stuffing our Buddha bellies.

    Delivery is very fast & friendly food was hot and fresh, chicken wings are extremely crispy. Came with a variety of sauces except for hot sauce, which was disappointing but the mustard was good.

    It was good but there were a lot of pepper in my soup and in my dumplings. They don't have plain noodles but with peanuts.

Now I have to admit, when my butcher recommended their "crispy steak," the idea of a fried steak was NOT particularly appealing to me. But I decided to give it a try anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised! The prime New York steak is only lightly dusted with water chestnut flour, so it's not heavily battered or greasy at all. It just gives the outside a gentle crisp while the steak itself stays perfectly tender. It's thinly sliced and served with sautéed peppers, onions and cabbage in a garlic, soy and burgundy wine sauce. Really, really good! I ordered mine to go, and I have to mention their packaging because I don't know WHAT kind of magic they're doing with these containers, but my food is always still super hot after the 10-minute drive home. Not warm--HOT, like it just came off the stove. I definitely appreciate that with takeout. While I was waiting for my order, I also took some time to admire the many awards displayed throughout the restaurant. Rainbow Palace is clearly an award-winning restaurant, and judging by that collection, they've been collecting accolades for YEARS! The Crispy Steak does cost a pretty penny, so this isn't exactly your inexpensive neighborhood Chinese takeout. But the quality of the ingredients, preparation and portion definitely feel a step above your typical takeout spot. Another delicious meal from Rainbow Palace, and apparently I need to keep working my way through their menu!

    This was hands down one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. It took 1 hour and 15…read moreminutes just to receive our soup. Then we waited another 45 minutes for our entrées. TWO HOURS to have dinner. Our waiter was practically nonexistent. He rarely came to the table, there was no meaningful communication about why everything was taking so long, and we were basically left sitting there wondering if our food was ever coming. After all of that, they had the nerve to charge us full price. No meaningful attempt to make up for the ridiculous wait or the terrible service. When you go out to dinner and are paying restaurant prices, there is a basic expectation of service. This didn't even come close. Two hours. Almost no service. Full-price bill. Completely unacceptable. I would never recommend Rainbow Palace, and I absolutely will not be back.

I was told it was available, but when we arrived, we were told the ducks had already been sold. First they said I had not reserved it, even though I called ahead. Then they said I had not paid in advance, but this business is cash only and no one explained any advance payment requirement on the phone. We ended up wasting about an hour and a half. In the end, we went to Enson Market in Plantation and were able to buy roast duck there. Their staff was helpful, the duck was handled cleanly, and the quality, taste, and price were just as good. This experience made me realize there are better options nearby.

It's in a different type of location -- a very small strip of businesses with only a few spots in front -- in the middle of a residential location. We were driving by between lunch and dinner and decided to stop to bring some food home for a later meal. When we stopped by, we got to meet the owners and chef. They were both very welcoming and friendly. He told us about some special meals and made suggestions. He was preparing some blue crabs for his own lunch, and they looked wonderful. You can get some special meals here, off menu, if you preorder. We went with a couple of our usual choices so we could see how they compared. We ordered some pork with Chinese vegetables and an order of Singapore rice noodles. Plus, for me an order of egg roll. The rice noodles were such a large portion that it filled two containers. And we wound up eating several meals from our take home food. The eggroll was very good. I ate one right away! There were two to the order. It had a different crispy wrapper -- it seemed house made. And it was filled with larger bits of meat. I really liked it. There was a lot of large flat pork slices in with the vegetables. In a brown sauce, there was broccoli, bok choy, pea pods, etc. It came with a side container of white rice. The rice noodles were fragrant with curry, but it only had a slight kick (as in not too spicy). There were lots of shrimp, chicken, and pork strips mixed in with the thin noodles. This dish was addictive. We are so glad we stopped to try them. Really one of the better Chinese places we've tried and certainly one of the better take-out places. Wish they were closer, or we'd be there more often.

    Delicious and so kind. I got the chicken and broccoli dinner combo. Will definitely be back!read more
